In the midst of a pandemic, the 2020 U.S. presidential election is perhaps like no other. But as in 2016, U.S. voters must decide on two establishment candidates unconcerned about the real issues facing ordinary Americans. Join our panel of Jill Stein, Chris Hedges, Mike Gravel and Rick Wolff, who will discuss the American Decision.

Journalist Greg Palast joins CN Live! to talk about what kinds of dirty tricks are being employed to suppress the vote for the next president of the United States.

Our guests are defense witness Trevor Timm, executive director of the Freedom of the Press Foundation; Shadowproof managing editor Kevin Gosztola, who is receiving wide praise for his live tweeting of the courtroom action; Stefania Maurizi, the Italian journalist who has partnered with WikiLeaks to publish some of its biggest releases, and whose freedom of information requests exposed corruption surrounding the Swedish process against Asssange; by Alexander Mercouris, a British legal analyst with particular insights into the UK justice system; and by internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom, a personal friend of Julian Assange. Like Consortium News, both Gosztola and Maurizi have been monitoring every moment of the trial via remote video access.
