Summary

Responding to the reports of Michael Cohen's Trump Tower Moscow lies and guilty plea, the rising star Congressman from California, Rep. Eric Swalwell, reveals where the new Congress is likely to take investigations into Trump's business ties and their consequences when it assumes office in January. He asserts the Congress will examine Trump Organization money laundering that his colleagues have reason to believe took place and that Mueller may not be exploring as closely. He says instances of suspected lying to the Congress suppressed by Rep. Devin Nunes will be immediately forwarded to Mueller. He suggests the president and his family's financial ties to Saudi Arabia are comparable to those with Russia and will get similar investigative treatment. He does not hesitate to say collusion took place. And he says he believes the word that best describes the president's actions is "betrayal"--selling out the American people to serve his own financial and political interests. It is a news-making interview you won't want to miss--available exclusively on Deep State Radio.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/deepstateradio.
