gone before the grand jury. a dam in ukraine is breached at a key point in the war with accusations flying about who did it and a retired fbi spy catcher, remember s the spy he caught, robert hanssen who sold secrets to moscow and died in prison yesterday. we begin with a previously unknown second grand jury in the documents case and word late today that former trump chief of staff mark meadows has, in fact, testified before a grand jury unclear which one. also unclear when he testified or which line of inquiry the special counsel is pursuing. the documents for january 6th or perhaps both and kaitlan collins is here. what have you learned? a lot of questions about this especially when it comes to the mark meadows investigation, of course, that s or the mark meadows testimony. we knew he was going to have to testify because they subpoenaed him, the trump team tried to fight it citing executive privilege. they lost that, so we knew it was going to happen. we just didn t k

and the pentagon scrambleling to contain the fallout how the war in ukraine and how we assess it. i m bill hemmer. good morning. dana: asme owe dana perino. this is america s newsroom. it is alarming. it started last months when they cropped up on a gamer website and it prompted panic in the halls of government. bill: 53 documents have appeared publicly so far. they include sensitive information on ukraine. sources telling fox news the leak does not appear to be the result of a cyberattack. they say it is likely the work of someone on the inside. dana: the scope of the leak described as bigger than edward snow den s. it appears to have caught the pentagon off guard and raising pecklation over america s credibility on the world stage once again. the administration has no answers. if they can t keep our top secrets safe, how can they keep us safe? this is another example of us projecting weakness out there. dana: former house intel committee chairman mike rogers is
december of 2000. so he s brought back to fbi headquarters, promoted to executive service, given his dream job and given one person to work with him to build cybersecurity for the fbi and that happened to be me so he had to be suspicious that this was an investigation. but until he was able to confirm those suspicions, he had to assume that it was real so my number one job was don t screw up. john, just put in perspective, how damaging was hanssen to america? i think robert hanssen was singular in the type of damage, you know, you could look at edward snow den who released entire nas program but hanssen gave names of spies that the fbi and the cia had spent years trying to recruit who were operating both stateside and in russia. these are people who were called back home or captured in russia who were likely tortured, at
garland of retaliation in the hunter biden probe. listen to a former u.s. attorney here. there are other people that have seen and observed and listened to the manner in which d.o.j. and other agencies have protected the bidens. it needs to stop. we need to expose it. this is the bread and butter of a fraud and corruption case that any prosecutor and any investigator would be proud to dig into if you took politics out of it. dana: what s going on with this situation? we re still learning. on the face very, very disturbing. federal whistleblowers are protected by federal statute. you want to keep the integrity of the whistleblower process. if there is malfeasance you want to have people come forward in a legal way. when you undermine that you end up with this bad information either never coming out to the public or an illegal way with edward snow den. it is disturbing.
