Thank you for joining me today as we traverse the trashy streets of Washington, D.C., as Dominic Dunn reports in from January 1999 on the impeachment trial of Bill Clinton. But it is our man Nick. He is reporting in

on so much more. Last week's episode took us through the State of the Union address and the

end of Dominic's friendship with Lucian Goldberg. This week, to close out Dominic's time in DC, his reporting
