and then, a show of unity on the world stage. president biden and members of nato pledging their support for ukraine at a crucial time in the war. and the splintering of the republican party. it looks like everyone is focused on one florida man and not the guy at mar-a-lago. as the 11th hour gets underway on this wednesday night. good evening once again. i m stephanie ruhle. we begin tonight with a big developments on two separate investigations into donald trump. the new york times reporting that special counsel jack smith has subpoena ivanka trump and her husband jared kushner to testify before a grand jury, according to two people briefed on the manner. donald trump s daughter and son-in-law both served as white house officials in the trump administration, and they both gave interviews to the january 6th committee. earlier today, committee member zoloft greene reacted to the subpoena news. both of them appeared before our committee. some of it was useful. but i wil

confirmed reports, now, that they are targeting civilians, as they try to leave the cities, some of which are happening in these so carloads humanitarian corridors. one of those corners did function from the city of sumy, 35,000 people were able to get out, the bad news on that though where that a lot of people just end up in kyiv where as richard angles is reporting people in the suburbs are now moving into the interior of the city, because they do not trust, for all the reason nissan is reporting that the roads are safe. civilians just don t believe that they will be better off in their car sometimes, they are in a basement. i had to, that we have more and more reporting from these nuclear sites. chernobyl has been taken off the grid, the i eight yay saying they don t believe that there is a danger there. but we re also seeing that at that conflicts submarine sia power plant that has also been taken away in off the grid that
