off the air tonight. and on that note, i wish you a good night from all of our colleagues across the networks of nbc news, thank you for staying up late see you at the end of tomorrow. end of tomorrow. tonight on all in, a federal judge appointed by twice impeached president deemed unqualified by the bar association overrules the center for disease control. so what happens now that the mask mandate for public transit is lifted? then as putin s war enters a new phase and the u.s. since more heavy weapons former ambassador marie yavanovich on how we got here. i really hope that you and president putin get together and can solve your problem. that would be a tremendous achievement. plus, bombshell text messages from the criminal conspiracy trial of an oath keeper. why are they so concerned about protecting donald trump s favorite doctor turned member of congress?
not only is he showing up to capitol hill, marie yavanovich who was called back to washington from ukraine in may, she s also going to appear next week t appears on secretary pompeo s letter yesterday that he doesn t want any of them to testify, right? this is a show of resistance, i think, not just for volker but yvonovic, rudy giuliani s that he was trying to leverage state officials and career diplomats really to dig up dirt on joe biden on behalf of the president. katherine, a president doing a senior citizen event in florida tomorrow. we have this gentlemen on capitol hill. by this time tomorrow night, we might know a lot concerning what aspects of foreign policy rudy giuliani was doing without
here in the studio, white house reporter now with the wall street journal. andr andrew, we ll start with you. what s the chance that pompeo s resistance, his nervousness to, as they re affectionately called in washington, two career dips, career diplomats coming before congress with really nothing to lose and no disincentive to not tell the truth? that s exactly right. the suspicion among lawmakers and aides with whom i spoke today on capitol hill was kurt volker resigned last week precisely so he could, a, cooperate, and, b, defend himself. he was mentioned in the whistle-blower complaint specifically with regard to a meeting he had with president zelensky the day after zelensky s phone call with president trump. i suspect he wants to go in there, defend himself and tell his side of the story. not only is he showing up to capitol hill, marie yavanovich

over our constitution, over separation of powers, over checks and balances, over the rule of law absolutely makes no sense to me. so the way that many republicans are protesting or showing their opposition is deciding not to run again, but they don t say anything. they just say, i m not going to run again. you are also a predecessor to mike pompeo at the as secretary of state. one of the stories that we re right in the middle of right now appears to be the state department secretary pompeo s office trafficking in material, stuff foo from right wing media. this is material that was delivered to the white house by rudy giuliani. this was then delivered to mike pompeo for him to look into it. the inspector general has now hand it had over to congress. from what we have learned about these materials, it seems like this was an effort to sabotage and to end the career of marie
