About this episode

Spoiler alert… President Trump has been acquitted in his impeachment trial. Who’d have thunk it?

And Maitlis has an exclusive interview with one of the men who testified against the President, former US special envoy to Ukraine, Kurt Volker.

Producers: Emma Close and Haley Thomas Editor: Dino Sofos
