Hofstra University law professor James Sample speaks to International Edition about the sentence, the controversy over a number of President Donald Trump’s pardons, and the allegation Jullian Assange has made that the administration offered a pardon to him in exchange for saying that Russia was not involved in 2016 election meddling.

Plus a wrap of Wednesday’s Democratic Party Presidential Debate, the latest on the COVID-19 outbreak, why China forced out three Wall Street Journal reporters.

Those stories and more are all on this International Edition.
