Revolt on fisa as the House Speakers future hangs in the balance, just a few votes. But we begin at the white house where President Biden is still predicting an Interest Rate cut and defending his administrations role fighting inflation. At the same time, the president is trying to circle the wagons in the pacific against china. White house correspondent Jacqui Heinrich starts us off tonight live from the north lawn.

reporter: well, they re probably two separate issue, thomas, although i want to be careful again because our reporting is still in the early stages, but our understanding of what happened with mike flynn, his phone calls with the russian ambassador would be reasonable to assume that those phone calls that any phone calls that the russian ambassador was making would have been monitored by likely under a fisa warrant, the court that makes decisions about whether or not american officials are allowed to tap phone, monitor communications of people who are suspected of being foreign agents. so it s reasonable to assume that any conversation that anyone had with the russian ambassador could potentially show up in something like this. so that s separate, i think, from what we are talking about potentially today. and this is a different investigation. again, the fbi hasn t confirmed the existence of an investigation between trump campaign contacts and russians duringheourse of the campaign
