BALDWIN: We're just now getting first details out of the trial of Paul Manafort. Opening statements have just begun in Alexandria, Virginia. Let's go back to Joe Johns outside that federal doubt house. So, Joe, talk to me about how the prosecutor is painting Manafort?</s>JOE JOHNS, CNN SENIOR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT: Well, opening statements are so important of course as you know. As prosecutors and defense try to mold this case and explain their theory of the case to the jury. The theory here for prosecutors is to describe Paul Manafort, the former campaign chairman, for Donald Trump, as a shrewd liar who orchestrated a global scheme they called it to avoid paying taxes on millions of dollars. So, it is also clear from the prosecution's opening statements that they do intend as we expected to really hit hard on Paul Manafort's extravagant lifestyle. So much has been written about his homes in the Hamptons, in Palm Beach, in Arlington, Virginia. And so, they will clearly hit on that as well. Also making the point more than once that they call Paul Manafort a liar and say he is one person in the courtroom who essentially did not believe the law applied to him.</s>BALDWIN: This trial the first big test for the special counsel here, Robert Mueller. Six men, six women on that jury. Joe Johns, thank you. Coming up next, the legendary reporter who helped break the Watergate scandal writes a book about the life inside the Trump White House.
