'Don't give up on American democracy' after Trump's re-election, says Bob Woodward | 7.30

Описание: Bob Woodward achieved legend status for his reporting on Richard Nixon's Watergate scandal. Since then he's written books on the last 10 US presidents and conducted 19 taped interviews with President Trump.

That's how he got to know the mind of the man.

His latest book, War, offers the starkest warning about the dangers Trump poses, but he also expressed surprising optimism about the prospect of a second Trump presidency. He spoke to 7.30's Sarah Ferguson.
