Point, Michael Cohen had a light bulb go off, and in recent times, tried to behave a little bit better and maybe thats whats reflected in the kinder document thats been filed by the Special Counsel. All right. Thanks so much. Our cnn coverage continues right now. This is cnn breaking news. Im wolf blitzer. We welcome our viewers in the United States and around the world. Were following breaking news. We have just received two major filings involving the former trump lawyer, Michael Cohen. One from the Special Counsel, Robert Mueller, and another from federal prosecutors in new york. And were awaiting another mueller filing pertaining to former Trump Campaign chairman, paul manafort. Theres lots of news thats breaking right now, significant
developments. I quickly want to go to our senior justice correspondent, evan perez. Evan, like all of us, youve been going through these filings. Give our viewers the headlines. What are you findin out . Well, wolf, this is a tale of two documents of
have known since the second world war. air superiority is critical. as you said, he s asking for help in the air. if we re not going to do a no-fly zone then we re talking about planes. it was discussed earlier in the week and didn t come to fruition, but it should. so if it s not planes, it s got to be drones. i think continued support of other basic military needs are going to be important as well. and zelenskyy also wants a ban on russian oil imports. do you think that s going to happen? i think the first thing you ll see congress push for is clearly the united states cuts ties there, and commits an embargo as well. there are about, what? 8% of our imported oil. not all that significant. pretty dramatic, though, for our european allies. that s going to take a lot of diplomacy and effort.

the same way you would think about pfizer or moderna, which is we are going to need a booster at some point. that s just how vaccines work. even the single dose of j&j works very well against severe disease. but that second dose of j&j provides a little extra boost or added protection, which becomes even more important with these new varns you re seeing. about this time last year a lot of public health officials were talking about the potential for a twindemic. that didn t come to fruition. flu cases were dramatically low last season. is it more likely that could happen this year? let s be clear on why flu cases were so low last year.
