i believe it's premier kazmir oleg hamina-hamina-hamina-hamina- a-oooga! boioioioioioioioioing!who can forget the end of cain's commercial, in which he spent almost ten seconds slowly smiling. ( laughter ) that's either a kind of creepy ad for a political campaign, or a very creepy ad for invisalign. ( laughter ) cain is an unusual choice, but it's no surprise that trump wants to shake up the fed. after all, he has been complaining for months about their monetary policy, and he even tweeted, "the only problem our economy has is the fed." but let me remind you, most of experience comes from running a pizza chain. evidently, trump thinks "fed" is short for "fettuccine." ( laughter ) but this may never happen, because it is unclear whether mr. cain will clear the background check, because his presidential campaign came to a screeching halt after several women came forward with accusations of sexual harassment. ( audience reacts ) it was a simpler time, when republicans accused of harassment stepped down in shame. also, a time in which republicans were capable of shame. ( laughter )

oleg deripaska sat down with pbs news hour to discuss the special counsel's focus on him as a resultormer campaign compare paul manafort. he has a long history with manafort and is said to be close to russian president vladimir putin, claims that manafort owes him millions from a failed investment venture. in july of 2016 manafort reportedly offered him a private briefing on the presidential race in what may have been an effort to settle that debt. he also allegedly offered him internal campaign polling as well. for his part, deripaska says he was never worried about the mueller investigation. watch this. >> do you feel that the attorney general's summary of the mueller report has exonerated you? >> i never felt guilty. i'm not a subject, first of all, as you know, but in my view it was so bizarre to claims that russia, you know, made any important role in that election. >> if you are such a believer in mueller and the process of justice, why didn't you when the special counsel sent you written questions, why didn't you answer the request he is? >> it was advice from my lawyers. they

the oligarch, oleg deripaska, "used manafort to install friendly political officials in countries where deripaska had business interests." manafort's job for more than a decade, before he started working for trump, was that he installed friendly political officials in office on behalf of a kremlin-connected oligarch. the oligarch paid him to install people in high office in foreign countries for the convenience of the kremlin. that was donald trump's campaign chair. and incidentally, that associated press story from the spring of 2017 turns out to be right. the explicit terms of manafort's arrangement with this oligarch, "referenced the need to brief the kremlin and referenced the benefits that the work could confer on the putin government." oh, the benefits for the putin government, they'd need to be kept fully apprised on manafort's work to bring about those benefits by installing friendly officials in foreign countries. that's who trump brought on to run his campaign. and we're going to be talking about this for a long while yet. there is a -- there is a ton here. but, i mean, just f
