Also wired money to some of these vendors that we heard about last week, including the clothing people that ostrich jacket. He explained how those money flows went there. So hes connecting the dots for prosecutors. He also explained how he helped falsify documents at manaforts request at the banks so manafort could get mortgages and he also explained how they falsified his tax returns, explaining how they moved things that should have been income to loans and back to back dated documents. At One Point Manafort was under financial duress. Prosecutors showed an email of manafort sending to gates which manafort says w. T. F. , we need to discuss options. This is a disaster. Hes Instructing Gates to help him come up with some solution with the accountants about how to fix his tax returns so he doesnt get hit with quite a large of bill as he was expecting. So gates testimony is continuing and we expected the crossexamination to begin in a

Tal, thank you so much in washington. my colleague and friend don lemon responding on tv for the first time since the president s hateful tweet against him and nba superstar lebron james. in case you missed this, the president apparently watching cnn friday night during don s interview with lebron james who spent millions of his own money to open up this school in ohio and eventually pay for student s college tuition, james went on to talk politics and said he would never sit down with the president. so, cue the tweets. the president calling don dumb and suggesting the same about lebron james. that has the president facing new accusations of racism. so don responded in part this way let us not let me not mince words here. this president traffics in racism and is fueled by bullying from keeping children at the border in cages to bullying journalists at every one of his
The law or breaking regulations and then threatening the others to come clean if it s convenient. to go back to end where we began with our cartoon analogy with the crack on the ice or the fuse, we shall see. mueller, you know, the jury is still out how close that will get to this president. michael d antonio, you re always a pleasure. thank you very much for coming on. thank you. coming up next here, what cnn is learning about a policy proposal involving stephen miller that would punish legal immigrants already leaving in this country who received government benefits and why this proposal months in the making is apparently still under review. and next, it s getting personal. don lemon responds directly to president trump s hateful tweet against himself and lebron james. you ll hear it next.
Looming over all this, of course, president trump and his very big shadow, so let s go to our chief political correspondent dana bash. dana, you have a big night ahead of you. talk me through the big themes for today. let s start with what you just laid out there the president. he looms large on and over pretty much everything in politics and elsewhere. and what s going to be interesting to look for is how he plays in different kinds of races. so first and foremost, we have this special election in ohio. it s been a republican seat for almost four decades where democrats haven t even come close and polls show that the democratic candidate there is coming close. the president went out over the weekend and campaigned for the republican troy balderson. republicans i talked to say that that was really, really critical to getting the base gined up.
The sentencing judge when he gets sentenced detailing the extent of the cooperation that he provided. if he lies even one little bit on the stand, brooke, they can rip it up, rip it right up. that s often something that prosecutors will talk about. what about how also also big picture here, these were two key figures, manafort and gates in trump s orbit? they got a shoutout from trump in july of 2016. we know the crimes that at least gates is admitted to, berit, how brazen, how surreal is it that these two figures were part of all things trump? i don t think that can be underestimated. another important thing to remember about gates is that his cooperation agreement is not simply for him to testify against manafort. so this is for him to work with the prosecution, to testify against anyone they need him to testify against. so i think it would be foolish to say, well, after he s done
