Politics Day: Developments In the Russia Probe

Marco Verch

Special counsel Robert Mueller says President Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort breached his plea deal by repeatedly lying.

The president is calling Mueller a “conflicted prosecutor gone rogue.”

On this politics day edition of River to River, political analysts Jim McCormick of Iowa State University and Tim Hagel of the University of Iowa cover numerous new developments in the Russia probe.

Also in the hour: a look at Senator Grassley's comments encouraging the President to move quickly to nominate a new attorney general, what’s on Congress’ plate in the lame duck session, and what’s behind the escalation between Russia and Ukraine off the Crimean Peninsula.
