Over two weeks ago. And so the Border Patrol was arresting dozens and dozens of kids a day at that time, sometimes as many as 100 a day. And so the real total by the time the president changed his mind about this was about 3,000. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has visited facilities in new york state that are holding some of these children, and he does not believe the president s new task force will reunite parents and children.

I should mention he also pleaded guilty to lying to federal prosecuto

He joins us. Now what more did gates say on the stand . Anderson, you had the deputy there sitting within ten feet of his former his longtime boss, documenting by his accounts numerous crimes, alleged crimes by his boss, Paul Manafort. And the list started with them setting up 15 Foreign Bank Accounts which they did not report to the government for the purposes of hiding taxes. He said that they filed false income tax returns. He said they failed to file as foreign agents even though they were working as agents for a Foreign Government, in this case the prorussian Government Of Ukraine at the time. And rick gates said he did all of this, his words, all of this at the direction of Paul Manafort, saying these are crimes we did together, in
