onboard. we want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i m wolf blitzer. you re in the situation room. we begin with a new evidence that then-president trump was repeatedly told by some top officials and closest advisers that the 2020 presidential election was not stolen. the january 6th investigators say he didn t care. our ryan nobles has all the top lines from today s hearing. it was a lie that began on election night. we were getting ready to win this election. frankly, we did win this election. donald trump s false claim that he won the 2020 election before all the votes were counted. a lie he continues to peddle. one that some of his closest advisers told the january 6th committee they didn t believe. like his attorney general. he s become detached from reality if he really believes this stuff. his campaign manager. i didn t think what was happening was necessarily honest or professional at that point in time. so yeah,
astoneio, for instance, they have a significant ethnic russian population, lithuania, there s a motion in russian parliament by one parliamentarian to essentially try to get rid of the independence of lithuania or russia recognizing that independence and then finland, which of course is looking to join nato, they also have a very large ethnic russian population and seems as though vladimir putin was saying any lands that the russians consider to have been russian at some point are up for grabs. so certainly one of the things that are being asked is where does vladimir putin plan to stop. so, so disturbing. fred pleitgen reporting from moscow, thank you very much. coming up, are america s youngest children finally, finally on the verge of getting covid vaccines? we have new data on the pfizer and moderna covid shots. we ll share that with you right after the break. frank is a fan of pepcid. it works in minutes. nexium 24 hour and prilosec otc can take one to four days to fufully wor
