release of brittney griner and paul whelan. cnn learning exclusively that the u.s. is now proposing a deal to exchange a convicted russian arms dealer for the two americans. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i m wolf blitzer. you re in the situation room. we begin with new evidence that the justice department s criminal investigation of january 6th is picking up steam big time. a star witness from the house hearings is now cooperating with federal prosecutors who have been asking questions about former president trump. let s go to our congressional correspondent, ryan nobles, up on capitol hill. tell us about the key witness who is now working with the feds. yeah, wolf. it is the witness that perhaps delivered the most compelling testimony of any of the january 6th select committee s public hearings. that s the former aide to mark meadows, cassidy hutchinson. it shows that this probe is expanding, specifically into the efforts to sta
cute but expensiexpensive. super expensive. look, in 34 states and d.c. it costs more to send your kid to daycare for child care than it does to send them for in-state public college tuition. the cost of college is more affordable than child care. one of the problems here is inflation in this sector. 220% prices have risen since 1990. it is for many families the largest expense they have and participate of the problem is the workforce behind the workforce. it s a low pay workforce and we ve lost a lot of these jobs. the report says child care system in america was broken before covid and covid made it worse. we are down 50% child care jobs since the pandemic. and look at the pay to work in this sector you have to have licensing in some cases, the requirements. the pay is about $13 an hour. you can make more in a restaurant on the floor of a big box store and basically it s half of what is typical pay of all other categories, so it s just a real problem in this

bill in the social spending plan. they may reach a compromise. some are starting to wonder if the focus of the white house and the biden administration may not be on the areas that, as of this morning, voters are most concerned about. things like, you know, gas prices or how much thanksgiving dinner will cost, or the economic recovery writ large here. so you may be in support of any or all of the things that are part of this plan, but is it addressing the major concerns of the american people? i think last time i was here, we talked a little bit about supply chain and inflation, and some of that is hangover from the pandemic. but you re right. thanksgiving dinner is going to be more expensiexpensive. gas prices, americans really care about that. but they also are going to care about, you know, in europe on child care, the average european
