this is due to all the news coming to you live from berlin high crimes concert doc shadow on the ground presidency two of the president's former associates faces the possibility of prison former trump lawyer market couldn't believe the guilty to wash money king to include the two thousand and sixteen election and campaign manager paul manifold is convicted of financial crimes what does this all mean for the white house puts a coming up. facebook and pretty a move to stamp out this information campaign launch from the platform with the

u.s. midterm elections just three months of really have to act to know. and the big high tech fun although of course it gets into the stream of things as the world's largest event computer and video games all things here in germany look at what's pushing people's buttons. hello and welcome. dramatic developments in the u.s. where two of present close associates have either pleaded guilty or been found guilty of criminal offenses the most potentially damaging for the president are statements of michael and president trumps for more than an noya he pleaded guilty to multiple charges relating to the two thousand and sixty. in election campaign

some charges stem from hush money scheme school and worked out with a porn star and a former playboy playmate two women who claim they had affairs with donald trump cancel the deputy attorney general had to say. he worked to pay money to silence two women who had information that he believed would be detrimental to the two thousand and sixteen campaign and to the candidate and the campaign in addition mr cohen sought reimbursement for that money by submitting him for invoices to the candidates company which were on frewen faults they indicated that the reimbursement was for services rendered for the year two thousand and seventeen when in fact those invoices were a sham he provided no legal services for the year two thousand and seventy and it was simply a means to obtain reimbursement for the odd lawful campaign contribution and from

all the story i'm joined by political analyst tyson baka from the aspen institute in one end what can tyson in fact the deputy attorney general went on to say that michael would have to pay a heavy price for all. that he's needs but to what extent does a full manoir off a donald trump a close associate implicate the president himself let's let's be clear this is the fixer of donald trump for more than a decade he's basically like a surrogate son this guy knows where all the bodies are buried and what he's done is pled guilty to two charges where he said he made illicit payments hush money on behalf of a candidate that would directly affect the election that is a criminal claim and the candidate which was not stated by name but is clearly donald trump this is a big deal but he doesn't mention him by name does not make a difference not really i mean we know it's kind of like smoking causing cancer all the indications point to him his only association with a federal candidate was with donald trump so it is donald so you feel that donald

trump is clearly implicated by michael. and guilty plea so what does it mean for donald trump getting be indicted or impeached so there are two avenues here you mentioned and i've been impeachment in indictment. a precedent that's never happened prosecutors in the past justice department prosecutors have decided not to indict sitting presidents for criminal or civil acts and there's a lot of precedent for this under nixon under bill clinton it's address so that's unlikely but not impossible impeachment that's a criminal process impeachment which is a political process is much more possible that something that will be adjudicated in congress and honestly the first test of this will be the midterm elections because if the democrats win let's say eighty seats that's going to be something that they're going to have a mandate to pursue ok now let's look at the other case the campaign a former campaign manager also donald trump amount of for the board money for to is another former trump associate is a former campaign manager as i mentioned that he's been found guilty by a jury on

a charges the judge declared a mistrial on ten other counts and then a fourth was convicted of filing fourth tax returns in connection with millions of dollars lobbying for ukraine failing to these killings offshore bank accounts and two counts of bank one a fourth crimes came to light as part of an investigation into possible russian influence on the two thousand and sixteen u.s. election the president commented on the verdict after landing in charleston west virginia where he attended a rally let's take a listen. or would. we were a lot of different people here. feel very sad that. it is probably me but i still feel you know. they have. nothing to do with rock hill or

started going you. know which. great. and to tyson bako from the aspen institute doesn't we can't defend a man for it but he didn't say anything about much of cohen what do you think that was the case these are two qualitatively different cases the white house the president or feeling the white hot heat from the cohen plead guilty plea and he doesn't want to implicate himself he's already gone on record saying that he didn't know about the payments that is now proven to be false that's what cohen said under oath with paul metaphor he has a lot more play room he can say because a lot of these associations with the ukrainian government happened before the campaign he's not really going to be directly implicated so to the extent that he's trying to make his case in the court of public opinion it's a lot easier to do so dealing with money metaphor and looking at both these cases collectively how damaging the donald trump specially with the midterm elections coming up in november as you mentioned we're seeing the drip drip drip move between

the investigation between the metaphor case between the the cohen case the noose is tightening around a culture of corruption that was involved in the campaign that's been have political implications obviously in november in the elections but it could also have legal implications we could see more indictments coming down the road for people like roger stone even for don jr who tried to tyson baka from the aspen institute thank you very much for that assessment. and if we now bring you up did with some of the stories making news around the world clashes have broken out in indian controlled region of kashmir after indian security forces fired tear gas at protesters the violence overshadowed celebrations of the muslim festival of the region or suffered decades of conflict as separatists fight for independence from india and kills the ties to pakistan. hundreds of koreans have said a final emotional goodbyes to relatives at the end of the rare reunion for families
