The Fallout From Trump's Former Aides' Guilty Verdicts
We hear reaction to the statement by Donald Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen that he violated campaign finance laws on behalf of his client.
US President Donald Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, has pleaded guilty to violating campaign finance laws. He said he had done so at the direction of "the candidate", for the "principal purpose of influencing the election". On the same day, former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was found guilty of bank and tax fraud charges. We look at the reaction in Washington and we hear from Trump supporters.
Also, we go to Zimbabwe where the constitutional court has been hearing a legal challenge from the opposition MDC Alliance to the election victory of President Emmerson Mnangagwa. And we hear about the 'Lazy Town' Icelandic actor Stefán Karl Stefansson who has sadly passed away after a two year battle with cancer.
