Trump, Russia and the FBI

David Aaronovitch looks at the mounting investigations into Donald Trump's campaign.

There's a compelling story unfolding in Washington. Last week, President Trump fired the director of the FBI, James Comey. It was a contentious move: Comey was investigating ties between Donald Trump's election campaign and Russia. Some are now asking whether the President's job could be at risk.

On this week's Briefing Room, David Aaronovitch unpicks the relationship between Trump and the FBI, and asks where the investigation goes from here. If Trump is determined to make the investigation disappear, could he?

With the help of a former FBI Special Agent and expert on national security law and a veteran watcher of Capitol Hill, David Aaronovitch steps into the Briefing Room to make sense of the Trump affair.

Guests:
Paul Wood, 大象传媒 World Affairs Correspondent
Asha Rangappa, former FBI Special Agent and current Associate Dean at Yale Law School.
Niall Stanage, Associate Editor of the American political newspaper, The Hill.

Producer: Neal Razzell
