born. you re right. why will it change now? we re having conversations everywhere. reporter: he tried to keep tom, let me go to you. his distance from washington vowing not to support nancy walk through your reaction through the interactions that pelosi for speaker and avoiding ken is talking about between using trump as a foil. manafort and gates. how much is donald trump on the ballot in this race? can you read into anything that in. i think what s going on is he s not. when i m looking someone in rick gates was by paul their eye on the doorstep, i m manafort s side for many years. asking them what they are worried about. to them it s policy issue. he s the ultimate witness against him. it s bread and butter stuff they he can say we work together. here is what manafort was talk about. reporter: his supporters thinking. here is what we set out to believe it may be key to peeling achieve. this is potentially devastating away votes from the wealthy, testimony for manafor
that s still something people are having to go into mueller s investigators to answer questions about, isn t it? it seems like this is something that keeps coming up. it s not just firing sessions. it s maybe firing rosenstein, maybe firing mueller. we get this dribbled in piecemeal as it comes out. he s talked about firing or somehow getting rid of all these different people. i think suggests this is part of a pattern of behavior and there s got to be, as with every aspect of the mueller investigation, we probably only know five to 10% of what s actually happening just because the special counsel s office is so tight lipped about everything else. so, yeah, i think that that s a reasonable conclusion to draw here. 5 to 10. i would put that at the high end of what we know. we have some breaking news in the manafort trial. star witness rick gates is now on the stand. ken dilanian is outside the courthouse for us in alexandria, virginia. is this happening before expected and is he giv
inauguration paul manafort was sort of outed as having a dirty book of business. but rick gates was sort of viewed as the good guy, the clean guy, which is bizarre when you look at everything we ve learned about how they off rated inside their firm. are you picking up any anxiety around current or former white house advisors about what gates may know? not just in the manafort trial, but his broader sort of window do trump world? i think you make a good point that he s cooperating for the entire investigation. this is not just a case about paul manafort. all these charges had to do with things that happened before the campaign. but that doesn t mean that s all that mueller has on manafort in this case. it doesn t mean he doesn t have anything on collusion right now. there is a severe interest when you re in a position like mueller is in keeping details of another investigation that has to do with another potential crime as quiet as possible. and, of course, the idea here is that the m

information that surprises you or surprises people in the courtroom? hey, nicolle. i just stepped out of the courtroom where gates had just taken the stand and really started the introductory portion of his testimony where the prosecution was introducing him to the jury. he was explaining his background and how he came to work for paul manafort. first as an intern back in 96, 97 for the firm that charlie black was a part of. and then for davis, mfanafort partners and how he sort of took on increasing responsibilities at that firm. it was just a really dramatic moment. after all, he was manafort s protege for ten years and here he is coming in, sitting down 20 feet from paul manafort beginning his testimony against mr. manafort. but there was also a fairly dramatic moment before gates took the stand on redirect for the accountant cindy laporta where the prosecution seemed to imply that $10 million loan we heard to manafort was actually not a loan but was, in fact,
