we ll go live to the capital of ukraine and get the latest from inside moscow in just a minute. plus, does the future of the war in ukraine hinge on the midterms in the u.s.? the republican victories in the house and senate mean less money or less military support? we ll dig into that, plus get a gut check on a couple of big races you haven t heard a whole lot about. finally, jury selection just getting under way in the second sex crimes trial of harvey weinstein. the stakes have been raised exponentially after he was given a chance to appeal his new york conviction. what are the chances he could be allowed to walk free? we start with the brutal attacks in ukraine and apparent return to tactics that russia used early in the war to try to terrorize and kill civilians. it represents the biggest, most widespread attack in months. russia claims that it was going after energy and military command facilities. but the vast majority were civilian targets, including an apartment
scheduling hearing on the matter for thursday. this, of course, is all coming as the office of national security announced their own review of the documents to determine potential refuse for national security. talking all of this over, and possible developments i wanna bring in washington post josh joce. josh, let s talk about to the latest developments right in tandem with one another that may very well be related at the end of the day. first you have this intelligence assessment which will be ongoing, ranks? the damage possibly done by the documents that were being held in mar-a-lago. you combine that with this possible appointment of this third party, essentially, to look over these documents. if in fact that happens this coming thursday as the judge that, she has the intent to do so. how could one hold up the other if it happens? the former president has repeatedly asked for someone to look through the documents. it has been a couple weeks since he made that request. it
plausible deniability and frankly a legal defense that he can now use. former fbi agent asha and neal, thank you. that does it for us this morning. jose diaz-balart picks up the coverage right now. good morning. i m jose diaz-balart. right now we are awaiting decisions from the supreme court. just four cases to go for this session. including one on immigration that will decide whether a controversial trump era rule will stay in effect. and bombshell testimony. we are taking a deep dive into where the january 6 committee goes next after revelations of a witness to key conversations the morning of the insurrection. the president said something to the effect of i m the f g president. take me up to the capitol now. we will discuss more with congresswoman norma torres. plus new details in the death of 51 people trying to migrate to the united states. what their deaths tell us about the risks people are willing to take to get to the united states. new today major moves from
