interview. there s so much going on. we want to get the court ruling, which we will, but first, i wanted to get your thoughts, really, on the interview that you did and i want to play for our viewers the part where you did discuss what is a huge issue for the nation right now, one president who does oversee a doj, while a former president awaits trial. i want to play from your interview. i made a commitment that i would not in any way interfere with the justice department, who they prosecuted, if they prosecuted, how they proceeded. i ve not spoken once, not one single time, with the attorney general on any specific case. not once. i have faith the justice department will move in the direction that is consistent with the law. and so, it may take time, but i have faith that they re going to do the right but i ve not spoken about that. the president s answer there to you, i m curious your thoughts.on t surprise you that it was rachel maddow that sort of articulated this b
neil: well, this is it, the first in the nation if primary, and it s in new hampshire. 22 delegates at stake. i want you to think of that for just a second. it takes 1215 delegates to secure the republican nomination. at this rate and if he were to win this state, donald trump might have, well, about 30, 35 dell grates delegates. that s a long way to 1215. but the interesting aspect of this primary and this entire race is the belief that if donald trump does well here, he s all but wrapped up the nomination. for the next two hours, we re going to look at the risk and the reward of that kind of strategy and we remind you that sometimes coming in second here isn t the end of the world. in 1992 that honor went to one bill clinton who was called the comeback kid after scoring a silver again in new hampshire. new hampshire will surprise you. it has a long history of doing just that. a lot of comebacks have been scored here. ronald reagan, after losing iowa in 1980, and then of

jon: it is perhaps the most serious challenge to the vladimir putin s authority, although at this moment it appears the challenge has edged. yevgeny prigozhin has turned his forces around and is said to be heading back to belarus. let s check in with our greg palkot who s covering the story from that part of the world. greg. reporter: jon, it looks like we re back on the brink in russia just across the border from where we are right now in kyiv, but it also looks like a lot of damage was done. it was the biggest risk to russian president vladimir putin s more than two decades of rule, attempted coup, an armed uprising. the man responsible, evgeni pregoes telephone, complaining friday about the war, then pulling his fighters out of ukraine and into the russian city of rostov-on-don with where, with little trouble, they took over the place. and, yes, prigozhin sent forces towards moscow, within 120 miles, the kremlin bracing for an attack, vladimir putin branding the actions
