Trumpdate: Why are news networks calling Paul Manafort an idiot? - a podcast by ABC Radio

Former Trump campaign director Paul Manafort seemed to have flipped on the boss in September.

That's when he signed a plea deal with Robert Mueller and pleaded guilty to a number of financial crimes.

But now, Mueller says Manafort has reneged on the deal and lied to his investigators. That could lead to years of jail time.

And will Donald Trump confront Vladimir Putin over this week's naval skirmish in the Kerch Strait between the Russian and Ukranian navies?

Dr Gorana Grgic from the US Studies Centre joins Russia, If You're Listening.
