not on the table for now. china apparently is offering a peace proposal to help end the conflict. is there any reaction from the white house? reporter: plenty of scrutiny. china had put out a 12-point plan, a peace plan. that included, for example, respecting sovereignty, resuming peace talks. none of this included concrete proposals for how to get there, but it s already facing scrutiny from the united states. president biden spoke on this. take a listen. how could it be any good? i m not being facetious. i m being deadly earnest. i ve seen nothing in the plan that would indicate something that would be beneficial to anyone other than russia if the chinese plan were followed. reporter: of course, this also comes against the backdrop of intelligence that suggests that china would provide ammunition and drones to russia. not a lot of optimism from the u.s. when it comes to this peace plan they put out this week.
sitting president is making about his predecessor, fair game? i think so. i would actually put vice president pence in the same bucket with the current president. in other words, mike pence and president biden both discovered that there were classified documents that were in their possession apparently inadvertently. they cooperated with the authorities. they alerted authorities to the existence of those documents. they voluntarily consented to a search. i think that s very different than the case of donald trump where not only was there a requ request for these documents but there was a grand jury subpoena. after a grand jury subpoena and the visit, there was a thumbing of the nose at the search
