applies the the ukrainians were responsible. a claim that ukrainian authorities have denied one senior official saying we are not a criminal state. fred pleitgen is in moscow. where do things stand on this investigation? reporter: a lot of this is still very much a mystery. at such dazzling time in russia as you have russia s special military operation, as they call it, in ukraine, going on. so there were, of course, someone in the pretty high echelons in russia who believe that maybe the ukrainians might be behind all this. but right now, it still remains absolutely unclear. the latest from the investigation is that they say the explosive yield of that charge was the equivalent of about 400 grams of tnt. they say the bomb was placed inside the car. they ve recovered some parts and sent it in for a forensic investigation as well. still very much unclear who might be behind all this. here s what we re learning. reporter: a car engulfed in a massive fire ball on a highway o
poised for a big wave? high inflation, gas prices, the continuing covid pandemic, president biden s party is facing voters in a very bad mood this year. all republicans need to do to win the senate is to pick up one seat. it sounds easy enough, but are they actually in the process of shooting themselves in the foot? how about former president donald trump, is he helping or hurting the gop effort? and if he does end up hurting it, will he end up hurting himself, when it comes to 2024? what about the end of roe v. wade? is it mobilizing democrats? and then, there is that major shift that we saw in 2020. hispanic voters abandoning democrats and voting republican. it is accelerating even more this year. 99 days to go. let s get to it. let s start at the place where at least, for me it s all gonna end in 99 days from now, or i should say, it will start to end 99 days from now, because elections no longer take place in one night. it will be election week this year. i think that is
meeting in june, and this subpoena essentially prompted this meeting where we know that the trump lawyers gave a little tour to some of the prosecutors and investigators doing this investigation, showed them where these documents were being held, and at the end of that meeting they left with classified documents, documents that were national security information. that s the reason why that meeting occurred. what it tells us is that these conversations, these discussions that were on going between trump lawyers and the justice department turned contentious much earlier, much, much earlier than the search that occurred on monday. we re also learning that part of all of this involves a witness, at least one witness. do we know, was that witness saying there s still documents you missed on june 8th? this witness told them there were definitely documents being held at mar-a-lago that the fbi needed to get, obviously wanted to get. this was information that included classified
of the state, who s had a stroke, and can no longer speak in complete sentences. that s happening right now. dr. oz is getting crushed by a stroke victim, who was already crazy. it s bizarre. the question is, why is this happening? we spent time on the phone the other day, calling around to small political people to find out why it s happening. we heard a lot of theories, and they boil down to dr. oz is a bad candidate. mitch mcconnell said it s candidate quality. before we accept a republican can t win at a time when democrats have completely discredited themselves, it s worth pausing and asking exactly what does this mean. what is a bad candidate? there are no bad candidates? there s no bad candidates, they re just running on the wrong thing, talking about issues that people don t deeply care about. a good candidate is the opposite of that, a candidate who promises to fix the problems that voters worry about the most. candidates like that tend to win elections because the m
