we are coming on the air with several developing stories, the big international pledge secret meeting on secret doc with a little bit of committee chaos, let s start with what is happening right now with the u.s. and allies getting ready to add tanks to the battlefield in ukraine. the white house just now outlining when those tanks will be on the ground, part of a bigger international push to try to get other countries to do the same. our teemg is standing by with the latest. also this hour, senators getting briefed by the head of the u.s. intelligence and what is at the top of the agenda, a whole bunch of classified documents ending up in places where they shouldn t be. we will have the team on what to expect. plus the committee, democrats blasting speaker kevin mccarthy s move to boot top democrats from the in tem committee and his expected push to try to block one member of congress from foreign affairs. we will get into it all later in the show. i m hallie jackson in
