Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard to this weekend's human events special this

Sunday.

We're here with one of the most influential political operatives of the modern era, the

chairman of the Trump 2016 campaign and the author of the new book, Political Prisoner,

published by Simon and Schuster, Mr. Paul Manafort.

Paul, thank you so much for joining the show.

My pleasure, Jack.

I'm glad to be with you today.

Well, you know, you may not realize this, but actually this is not the first time that

you and I have been together because all the way back in 2018, when you were going through

everything they put you through in in Virginia, I was actually there at the courtroom every

single day back at the time when I was reporting for one American news and we covered that

trial in and out every single day.

I've still got my legal pads somewhere in my notes of what they were throwing at you.

And so when I went through that, I got a complete just understanding of how this system works

or at least how it's supposed to work.

And then we come to this case of Russia gate because when I look at the news right now

and I see everything that's going on, we're seeing the source now of the steel dossier is

on trial and they're asking him if he could corroborate any of this.

Apparently, the FBI offered him a million dollars.

They said, we'll give you a million dollars if you can corroborate any of this stuff.

He couldn't do it.
