he defamed her by denying it happened. this is moments away. we will bring it to you live here and stay with it throughout this hour. national correspondent bryan llenas is standing by at the courthouse while we wait for the news that the jurors are about to present this verdict. hi, brian. yes, i m here in new york. we have our producers at the courthouse. we re waiting now what the verdict is. it said that they would be announcing it at 3:00. we re looking to see as soon as we get the verdict what it is. in this case we need to step back here, this is a civil federal case, which means that all nine jurors must come to a unanimous decision on whether or not they believe former president trump committed assault, a battery and whether or not he defamed e. jean carroll. the burden of proof here is lower than a criminal case. you must proved beyond a reasonable doubt in this case. the only thing they have to do is convince the jury that e. jean carroll said the events more tha

meeting with the ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy as the two men walked streets air raid sirens could be heard and really a sign of how risky this trip was. and so in a pledge, president biden vowed to continue to support the country no matter the cost or the time. one year later kyiv stands, and ukraine stands. democracy stands. the americans stand with you, and the world stands with you. it is worth fighting for, for as long as it takes, and that is how long we will be with you, mr. president, for as long as it takes. we go straight to kaitlan collins where the president is soon going to arrive in warsaw, poland. i once accompanied the president on a secret trip to see the troops and the precautions to go to the u.s. military base were astounding, but biden just went to an active war zone with virtually no u.s. troops on the ground, so how in the world did the president and the white house pull this off? kristin, i am so glad that you brought it up, and if you
