[woman] Security is
unusually tight today

ahead of Simone Martin's
testimony

before the Senate
Intelligence Committee,

testimony widely expected to be

a complete vindication
of Elizabeth Keane,

who was removed from office
five days ago.

Senator Sam Paley,
who led that effort,

was himself arrested
Tuesday morning

in a dawn raid by the FBI

and charged with criminally
conspiring with a foreign power.

His chief of staff, Janet Bayne,

is said to be cooperating
with investigators.

Meanwhile,
back at the White House,

Ms. Keane is scheduled to be
re-sworn into office

at noon Eastern Standard Time.

Sources tell CNB
her first official act will be

to sign a series
of executive orders

dramatically expanding sanctions
against Russia.

It appears Simone Martin has
just entered the hearing room.

Let's watch.

Would you state

-[Eames] Ms. Martin,

the Committee thanks you for
your appearance here today.

There's a lot riding on
what you have to say,

so I'd like to just jump right
in, if that's okay with you.

Will you tell
the American people

what the GRU is?

The GRU is a foreign military
intelligence agency

of the general staff
of the armed forces

of the Russian Federation.

What is your relationship
to that organization?

I'm a Captain in the GRU.

That one's for you, Carrie.

I was really hoping you'd
make it easy for both of us.

-Tough shit.

Surely I can

Not a chance.

Consular security in Zurich.

Aleksandr!

You should congratulate him.
It's a promotion.

Congratulations.

Sugar.

[man] Ladies and gentlemen,

the President of
the United States.

Good evening.

I was going to read
a prepared speech tonight

about how Russia has waged
a covert war on my presidency

and on our country.

Those of you who watched
the Senate hearings yesterday

know what I'm talking about.

You should also know
that none of this is new.

We have been under one form
of Russian attack or another

since the 1950s.

What's different today

is what an easy target we are,

as deeply divided a nation

as I can remember.

For this, I must share
some of the blame.

The attack on my life
earlier this year...

[inhales sharply]

[exhales deeply]
It scared the hell out of me.

Then it made me really angry,

and then I tried to get even.

I wasn't above using
the power of this office

to lash out at my enemies.

I don't believe
it was against the law,

but it was wrong.

For over 200 years,

we have had an angel on
our shoulder in this country.

Lately...

I've been wondering
where she's gone.

Look around.

We're in trouble.
Our democracy is.

And it is not Russia's fault.
It is ours.

We are the ones killing it.

When we think
of democracies dying,

we think of revolutions,

of military coup d'etats,

of armed men in the street.

But that's less and less
how it happens anymore.

Turkey, Poland, Hungary,

Nicaragua, the Philippines...

democracies now die
when we're not looking,

when we're not paying attention.

And the end rarely comes
in an instant,

but arrives slowly,
like twilight.

And at first,

our eyes don't notice.

I spent much of the afternoon
with Vice President Warner,

who I have come to know as
a deeply honorable

and decent man.

He and I agree, our country
is at a crisis point,

locked in
an existential conflict

over race and identity
and culture.

The signs are everywhere

and flashing red.

Something must change.

Something bold must be done.

[inhales deeply] I don't pretend
to have all the answers,

but I do know I have become
part of the problem.

I open my mouth,

and half of you
hear only lies.

That's not only unacceptable,

but unlikely to change
anytime soon.

[inhales deeply]

No single leader
can save a democracy,

but without a leader
you can trust,

no democracy can be saved.

For that reason,
effective midnight tonight,

I hereby resign the Presidency
of the United States.

The Vice President
will be sworn in as President

at that time in this office.
