Trumpdate: Did Trump tweet the end of the Russia Investigation?
The trial of Trump's former campaign director Paul Manafort began this week. In response, Donald Trump let fly with a tweetstorm. He's calling on the Attorney-General to end the Mueller investigation. Manafort is on trial for crimes connected to his work in Ukraine, but his defence team is blaming his deputy Rick Gates. And Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen is keen to tell prosecutors all about the infamous 2016 Trump Tower meeting. It's been a big week. We've got John Barron from ABC News' Planet America and Emma Shortis from RMIT University in Melbourne on the episode to make sense of it all. Want to get in touch? Email: russia@abc.net.au.
