3:02 am
about his contacts with russia the white house though is deflecting the news saying that none of this has anything to do with donald trump a white house correspondent kimberly helka reports. 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 trump's presidential 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
3:03 am
report foreign bank accounts there is no evidence that mr mann of fort with a trunk campaign colluded with the russian government. the announcement which caught many off guard that a third person tied to the truck campaign george 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 muller as with tall man afforded rick gates the white house is pushing back diminishing the role of papadopoulos as a foreign policy advisor 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 i'd hardly call that some sort of regular advisor however it's the case of paul manna for which is getting the most attention the indictments paint the picture of a man living
3:04 am
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 presidential campaign and russia a witch hunt by political adversaries and the media without offering any evidence the white house says it expects the russia probe to wrap up soon and will the indictment states man a fourth charges involve actions from twenty sixteen on twitter trump contradicted the claim arguing the charges against him out of fort emanate from actions taken before chairing trump's presidential 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.
3:05 am
senators are also issuing statements about the indictments claiming it is proof the justice process is working kimberly helped get al jazeera washington live out of washington al-jazeera as alan fischer is set there for a silence of the white house saying that none of this has anything to do with donald trump with a right. well a couple problems with that first of all seeing that charges all relate to his time before with the campaign they don't want the indictment covers up to february twenty seventh in all over the period when paul minor four was the campaign manager for donald trump no the white house is trying to don't play the role that paul minor for played in the campaign but he was campaign manager for a lot longer than steve bannon who eventually got donald trump over the line and he played a key part in formulating the platform for the republican convention and also was the man who essentially pushed mike pence into the vice presidency put him before donald trump and said this is the guy you need to pick when donald trump was pretty
3:06 am
keen on getting chris christie the job but george papadopoulos the man who's played guilty to misleading f.b.i. agents that brings the whole thing a lot closer to donald trump because even though the white house says look he played a minor advisory volunteer role he was e-mailing senior people in the campaign and saying look the russians could give us some information on hillary clinton and at no point did someone from the campaign think wait a minute if they've got thousands of e-mails they must have got them illegally we should tell the f.b.i. about this essentially he was given the green light to in at least follow that thread so these are two things which will can say on the trump white house they might stand back and say this is nothing to do with ayers it's all just moving through the process but there are threads there the f.b.i. and the special counsel can pull out and see what eventually unravels allen many thanks alan fischer in washington let's get a few now from all of them again
3:07 am
a former senior policy adviser to president bill clinton he joins us live from texas what do you make of the day's events particularly. the revelation that george peppard openness has pled guilty to misleading f.b.i. agents. well this is going to be the flush and sausage making that's going to take place in an obscure far act which really has been prosecuted for a one in forty years that we've seen. a conviction on this and this is going to be opening pandora's box i think we're going to see a whole lot of things spilling out as a result of this we're in a global lee geo political economy right now that has network extra analyses and network connections across the globe and we need to be looking at how we do the far
3:08 am
compliance which is really a transparency compliance law and we have to do some reporting to the justice department about all sorts of activities that are taking place across our borders our international borders both on the left and the right at the geo political sphere so i think everyone right now is rather cautious in washington because we're going to see a lot of fallout in this pandora's box i like to call it the farrah fawcett and that faucet is spilling open and right now everyone sort of kind of looking cautiously at prosecution a special prosecution that really is just looking at the nexus between democracy and politics and justice and that nexus is the leverage what we have in this indictment today is leverage getting people talking getting people to share what they think happened speculation is everywhere and naturally this white house the trump white house is being very very cautious at this time because it does not
3:09 am
we're going to have a constitutional crisis on our hands so both the left and the right in washington ok so you're saying that the this could this pandora's box that you talk about could end up brain not just republicans people associated with a tribe campaign but democrats too but how close to do today's events bring donald trump to the this russian inquiry. i think like most like most of the investigation inquiry trump is very very far away from what they call collusion and again collusion is not is not against the law but i think we've got a long stretch before we take the day's events and put it in the lap of a sitting president who is in charge of. law and order and justice so when we start looking at that nexus right now at a prosecution trying to establish leverage we have to stand back and be cautious and do less is best and wait and see because right now even before the announcement
3:10 am
of this came today everyone that the beans were spilling all over the table with regard to the left and clinton clinton background and all kinds of piece pieces that of the political sphere were spilling all over the floor. what you can take from me right now and way my face is looking right now i'm very cautious a very very cautious and concerned is what i'm seeing across the across the spectrum in washington d.c. about how to handle this very very carefully we need to let the prosecutor do their work and then basically wrap this up because this is a four year that is really only been prosecuted very few times four hundred cases in the last forty years and we only have nine people in the justice department actually processes these transparency and disclosures ok it's an important transparency disclosure but it is not always basically pulled into this realm of commerce of criminal criminal indictment ok out of the gate good story to so many
