>> david: terry moran, thank you. now, to the race for president tonight. donald trump back on capitol hill today, his first visit back since the attack on the capitol. republican members of congress right there with him. including mitch mcconnell, who said in the wake of january 6th, that donald trump was responsible. and tonight, what donald trump reportedly said in the meeting about the city set to host the republican national convention, saying milwaukee is a horrible city. rachel scott on the hill again tonight. >> reporter: tonight, donald trump appearing on capitol hill for the first time since his supporters stormed the building on january 6th, meeting with republican congressional leaders. >> we have great unity, we have great common sense. >> reporter: some republican lawmakers sounding starstruck. >> he saw me in there and he was like, "hello, marjorie." he's always so sweet and recognizes me and he said, "are you being nice?" he was joking. "are you being nice to speaker johnson?" and i said, "ehh." and he said, "okay, be nice to him." and i nodded my head. >> reporter: even senate republican leader mitch mcconnell -- who once called trump "practically and morally responsible" for january 6th -- today, shaking his hand. behind closed doors, trump reportedly attacking the city of milwaukee, where republicans are holding their convention next month. "punchbowl news" reporting trump told lawmakers, "milwaukee, where we are having our convention, is a horrible city." when word got out, house republicans rushing to offer explanations. some saying trump was specifically talking about crime in milwaukee. while others claimed he was actually talking about election integrity. trump later insisted he was talking about both. we saw those top republicans rally behind donald trump today, but we also heard from another republican, former congresswoman liz cheney, who was the vice chair of the january 6th committee. she insists that donald trump and his collaborators will be defeated, going on to say, quote, history will remember the shame of people like leader mcconnell that enabled them. david?

abc's selina wang traveling with the president in italy. >> reporter: tonight, president biden and ukraine's president zelenskyy signing a historic security agreement to bolster ukraine's defenses for ten years, bringing it closer to nato and sending a stark message to vladimir putin. >> he cannot wait us out. he cannot divide us. and we'll be with ukraine until they prevail this war. >> reporter: the u.s. and its g7 allies also agreeing to loan ukraine $50 billion to buy weapons and help rebuild, a loan to be repaid using interest on frozen russian assets. while overseas on the world stage, biden speaking publicly for first time about his son hunter's conviction on federal gun charges. >> i'm extremely proud of my son, hunter. he has overcome an addiction. he is -- he's one of the brightest, most decent men i know. >> reporter: biden today reiterating what he told david -- that he has ruled out pardoning his son. i asked him if he's also ruled out shortening hunter biden's sentence with a commutation. mr. president, would you commute hunter's sentence?
