extraordinary in fighting in ukraine. the severity of those injures and when did he make that decision to fight there? we ll keep you updated on what we learn. yeah, that administration stated part of a general policy, attempting not to escalate with russia, making it clear these are volunteers but there have been many volunteers that have gone there. a federal grand jury that could vote on the indictment of former president donald trump is expected to be meeting today. we re closely watching activity around the federal courthouse in washington. it comes as special counsel jack smith continues to make moves in what appears to be the late stages into efforts to overturn the 2020 election. he just received a trove of documents from bernie kerik. kerik along inside trump attorney rudy giuliani led the probe in claims of false voter
widespread fraud. but they have lots of communications between one another, and those documents that bernie kerik had, into the hundreds, they had never been handed over to congress. the trump campaign did not allow them to be handed over in lawsuits, defamation against giuliani and others and now the special counsel is getting access to those records. it is because there was a lawsuit where kerik was on the road to turning over those documents but now the special counsel s office has a significant number of papers to be sorting through. what that means, though, boris, for the case against donald trump, clearly, the justice department was out of place where they felt they could alert donald trump that he was a target and may be charged with a crime. that sort of thing happens in the very end stage of a case. but whether these documents would factor into what s happening now with no grand jury convening today, meaning they can t return an indictment, if the quorum of the grand jury does
listen is an entirely different equation but romney, of course, has campaign experience, as we know. saying to the big financial backers of the super pacs and candidate themselves, stop funding candidates who don t have a chance. and jessica, did romney come out and say who he thinks they should gather and support instead of donald trump? no i think that s the point. it s more to the donors as david is saying, stop funding them, in order to really mount a challenge to donald trump and beat him, they re going to have to coalesce, and people have to drop out if they re not viable. i also think it s interesting, mitt romney is saying publicly what so many any privately especially on the senate side. you talk to republicans, they ll stay this privately. it s not often that they ll write an op-ed in the per about it.he said, our party and country need a nominee with character created with something
voters for their vote if i didn t see a realistic path to victory. so, i don t disagree with it. if republicans choose to follow that plan, they better hurry, a new poll has the former president way ahead of the pack. let s break it down with cnn s jessica dean and david chalian. david, what does the new polling tell us? it tells us what we ve seen, remarkably different. this is monmouth university, you still see, take a look at the numbers an overwhelming donald trump advantage, 46%mo republican voters. 20% is where ron desantis, the next competitor is. a 26 percentage point lead is not a small one. we ve got six months or so before the iowa caucus kicks this off. we see it in the states also. we saw a fox business poll over the weekend, iowa, south carolina, staame story. a race dominated by trump
vehicles like holidays, those all amount to what it means to have a good job. and this president is focusing on good jobs in the economy. what we re say saying a process is going on where in which workers make better jobs to get to them. and that is fundamental how bidenomics is going to improve situations for the workers and economy overall. julie, do you have any update on those negotiations, quickly? so, those negotiations have only just begun. we re monitoring, we re expecting and hopeful that the parties do what they need to do to reach a win-win solution there as well. and, julie, while we have you, your nomination to become secretary of labor has been stalled in the senate for months now. you ve not received senate confirmation, is it your intention, is it the intention of the president to have you continue serving without senate confirmation? i m honored to be in this
