Along with one of man affords Business Associates gates both of pleaded not guilty in court well charges stem from the investigation into links between russia and the Trump Campaign its also merged that a former Campaign Adviser has been guilty to lying to the f. B. I. About contacts with people who claimed to have links to top russian officials a White House Correspondent can be counted as morning in washington d. C. Trump do solemnly swear donald trump has been in office less than a year but this is perhaps the most significant day of his presidency. So far on monday two of his former associates avoided handcuffs and turned themselves into the authorities in washington the first is paul mann afford the former chair of Donald Trumps president ial Election Campaign the other is rick gates a longtime business associate of matter forts and worked with the white house until march both men appeared in court pleading not guilty to a dozen charges they include conspiracy against the United States also to launder money acting as an agent for a foreign principal providing false statements to investigators and failure to report Foreign Bank Accounts the announcement which caught many off guard that a third person tied to the Truck CampaignGeorge Papadopoulos had pled guilty to lying to the f. B. I. That was over the timing of his meetings with alleged go betweens for russia he is now cooperating with the special investigation led by Robert Mueller as with paul man of fort hood rick gates the white house is pushing back diminishing the role of papadopoulos as a Foreign Policy adviser this individual was the member of a volunteer Advisory Council them at one time over the course of a year and he was part of a list that was read out in the Washington Post and hardly call that some sort of regular adviser however its the case of paul man a for which is getting the most attention the indictments paint the picture of a man living a lavish lifestyle when f. B. I. Agents raided his home they even photographed his suits as evidence of Money Laundering more than seventy five million a form payments through offshore Bank Accounts on twitter trump reacted to the arrests he has repeatedly called the investigation into ties between his two thousand and sixteen president ial campaign and russia a witch hunt by political adversaries and the media with a. Not offering any evidence the white house says it expects the russia probe to wrap up soon and while the indictment states manna for its charges involved actions from twenty sixteen on twitter trump contradicted the claim arguing the charges against matta fort emanate from actions taken before chairing trumps president ial bid trump again stated there was no collusion between his campaign and russia metaphor its lawyer calls the charges ridiculous and on capitol hill top u. S. Senators are also issuing statements about the indictments claiming it is proof the justice process is working kimberly help hit al jazeera Washington Well after the Court Hearing paul manna fortes lawyer also said there was no evidence his client colluded with russia. I think you also are today the President Donald Trump was correct there is no evidence that mr mann a fort with a Trump Campaign colluded with the russian government this command of foreign represented Pro European Union campaigns for the ukraine. And in that he was seeking to further democracy and the help ukraine come closer to the United States and the e. U. Lets get more from alan fischer whos at the white house hi there alan so two men pleaded not guilty but papadopoulos on the other hand says he is guilty. He pled guilty before these indictments were handed dont only the decision was revealed in Court Documents that were issued on monday and papadopoulos is an interesting figure the white house has played down his rule as they have done with matter for it as well but they say he wasnt really an advisor he was part of a voluntary code so what you have to remember is he was emailing senior figures in the Trump Campaign saying look i have these links with russia the big problem he has of course is he sat down with f. B. I. Investigators and said any contacts i had with russia that was before i was involved in the Trump Campaign they could check his emails and find that simply wasnt the case and if you lie to f. B. I. Agents then youre in big trouble and there is a suggestion and it is only a suggestion that he has pled guilty has come up with some sort of plea deal and may well be helping the campaign from here on in of course the trump will try and diminish his role as they have done with paul minor for they said throughout the summer you have to remember pomona for it was only with the campaign for a very short space of time but he was significant he spent more time as chairman of the Trump Campaign than steve baron who is widely regarded as the man who finally steered him over the line into the white house and Paul Munna Ford is widely regarded as the man who pushed donald trump into picking mike pence as Vice President so he wasnt and then significant figure so all of this despite what the Trump White House is saying today is not good news for donald trump and what we will find out in the coming weeks and months because this is still very early in this investigation is that maybe a lot more to come out people have said that the miller investigation was going to wrap up and that certainly a narrative that the white house has picked up even on friday before we find out these are day indictments were coming but youve got to remember that when their investigations into bill clinton and also going back as far as Richard Nixon it took more than a year for the investigation to get to this point so this investigation is actually moving in washington terms quite quickly alan once been there their reaction stateside. Well youve got republicans coming out including cory alone who is another former Campaign Chairman for donald trump saying this is a nothing burger that is a phrase that weve heard its a knocking its inelegant but this is a nothing burger there is nothing to this democrats are saying look weve said all along let Robert Mueller do its job let him go where the facts lead them and lets see where we are at the end of this process and as we see were just at the start of this process there are other republicans too are saying look this is no got to go the fool and through we find out and if there is any suggestion as has been suggested over the summer that donald trump might be considering pardons that he shouldnt even begin to think about that because that would be seen as obstruction of justice so i think there is consensus on the republican and democratic side that this investigation whether they wanted to or not whether they thought it was a good idea or not know has to run its course and see what eventually texas elevation there live from the white house allan thank you well lets talk more about all of this with liz kennedy whos director of democracy and government reform at the center for American Progress she joins me live from washington d. C. Lets have a warm welcome to the program thank you for your kennedys your company its been a fascinating day and weve seen this guilty plea from papadopoulos weve also heard from trump that he thinks that the inquiry will wrap up soon but this is going to run and run surely. What we are seeing today is the tip of the iceberg it is absolutely correct that this investigation has been happening happening expeditiously and you know with with efficiency but then the fact that they moved this quickly to the. Charges is impressive however there is no sense that they will be wrapping up this is clearly two things i think chasing after the money connections by going after man afford and. Currently but then also with papadopoulos guilty plea were clearly shes seeing connections to the Trump Campaign that cant be ignored the trumpet ministration has. Tried to distance itself from all allegations today but in real terms how can the u. S. Protect itself from any interference whether the was any here or not we dont know but how can i protect itself going forward. Well first of all we do know that it has been the unanimous assessment of the u. S. Intelligence agencies that there was active russian interference in the twenty sixteen election this in this investigation is meant to tied down those that understanding and see if in fact there are proven connections between the Trump Campaign and the Russian Campaign to elect trump but there are three things that we need to do first of all we absolutely need to follow this account about come to believe trail to demand accountability for any americans who are acting with or supportive of the Russian Campaign to interfere with americas elections in twenty sixteen and second of all we need to do to further things to prevent future russian and american elections first of all we need to invest in the security of america election infrastructure and it is incumbent upon congress to immediately pass federal funding to enable upgrades to that election infrastructure now that were aware of the larger vulnerabilities in the current threat environment and its the fifteenth anniversary of the help america vote act where Congress Last presented federal funds and there is really its irresponsible for them not already to be moving forward on that in a bipartisan manner and second of all they need to take steps together to understand the role of disinform ation and particularly some of the social media platforms and take steps to crack down on the ability for example of even foreign actors to use the dark money channels that have opened in american politics where people are able to spend secretly in politics to influence elections right now particularly on the internet when there is bipartisan agreement that there should be disclaimers for internet ad with the with the honest ads act that was recently introduced by senators clover starr and senator graham and recently. We there was also bipartisan agreement about the need for Election Security funding so i think that the important thing to remember is that it is completely unacceptable for russia to interfere in the u. S. Democracy we need to demand accountability for any americans who are supportive of that and breaking the laws to do so and we need to turn and look forward to how we can take effective urgently needed actions to protect our elections and democracy in the future as well the scandal there joining me live from washington d. C. Liz thank you now a u. S.
