right now on ana cabrera reports, breaking news at a courthouse in washington, rudy giuliani no longer set to testify today in his own defense in the defamation case brought by two election workers. why did the man once known as america s mayor decide not to take the stand? plus, donald trump s fed in pause. will this force the judge to change the trial date? also ahead, the house voting to launch an impeachment inquiry, so why now after a year of investigation resulting in no evidence of wrongdoing by president biden? and later, the return of vladimir putin s hours long year-end news conference, the first since the invasion of ukraine. his new admissions about the war and what he said about a potential prisoner swap with the u.s. good morning, thanks for being here. it is 10:00 eastern, i m ana cabrera reporting from new york, and we begin with breaking news from washington. in major reversal, rudy giuliani will not take the stand in his defamation trial. he wa
in the region involving iran, involving syria, the golan heights and the like. wh do you see the fallout from this? you re exactly right. no one can remain neutral. no thinking person, no moral person, no mal nation can remain neutral in this. this just demonstrates the total depravity, really evil naturef the russian government, top to bottom. it demonstrates there is no justification, there was no justification, there s no rationale for thisinvasion. ukraine posedo threat to the russians. they had t manufacture some reason and they ve come up with is denaziification which is
of military that begins to even remotely call itself aodern military behaves. this is another nail in the coffinf any lgering idea anybody could have had about the russian military as a modernized force. i think we re seeing this go back to world warii, the soviet era days. in fact, it s a violation of the geneva conventions as well. the other setupg development in recent days, these comments from russia s foreign minister sergei lavrov sayinghe naziification of ukraine exists. they have tattoos on their bodies. ey say there can t be a denaziification because we are jews. well, i believe that hitler had jewish heritage. this is obviously a slam of the whole argument that the
