Macron today and continue to insist that any further expansion in europe by the u. s. and nato would be unacceptable. as for ukraine, it reports its president is not happy with the biden administration after the administrations emits warnings about an attack, saying that such warnings needlessly spread alarm. with that, let s bring in our lead off guests on this friday, night katie bennett, justice department reporter for the new york times, cynthia for the civil rights division of the justice department, on rick for a secretary of state of public despondency in public affairs in the obama administration. and former managing editor of time magazine. thank you for joining me this evening. katie, what more do we know about how this trump electors plan was supposed to work, and who in the former president circle might have been involved in the plan? so the committee is already covering quite a bit of information about the plan. much of it is public. it seems as though it began in novemb
Already painted a pretty full picture. so if you are being asked to come into speak to the committee now, it could be because they want more information, or it could be because they are giving you a chance to tell your side, and you might want to take it. cynthia, reportedly as katie mentioned, one of the trump electors who was subpoenaed today intends to cooperate with the committee. what might be motivating that? how much legal trouble could these, quote unquote, fake electors been? they are in a lot of trouble. especially the ones where there was no caveat that they were only going to be the electors if trump won the lawsuits, which by the way, by the time this came in, he lost all the lawsuits. anyway, two of these days they were caveats, in five of the states there were no caveats. these electors signed sworn statements that they were duly elected, and they sent out to the national archives. that is a false statement to the federal government. it is they are part of a 371 co
Blinken has done in particular, it s just a untouched with european allies. so not tried to leave too much room between the u.s. and nato. and because one of putin s goals is to bring nato apart. that is what he is trying to do. that is why he is testing article five of nato. that is why he has all these troops there. so i think that the west has to stay united. even if, you know, we are not united on every aspect of what president biden would like us to do, by the way you heard president zelensky of ukraine today say look, i do not think that it is as eminent as the americans say. i do not want to scare you cranium people, because this may not happen. in general, the administration is doing a good job keeping it all together. let s see what happens next. we will have to leave it there. katie, cynthia, rick, thank you for your time. i appreciate it. coming up, the president tries

yes, mind-boggling indeed. katie, let s talk about judge deere who you mentioned a moment ago. former press secretary. are you worried about what testimony judge deer offers if you are donald trump, or no? i really can never say what donald trump would or not be worried about anyway. but i do think that if we were talking about possibly any generic person who is a close adviser with sitting in a room with them, you know, trying to figure out whether or not there is a way to pressure republicans to overturn the election, i think that it was a reasonable to wonder whether or not deer is going to say something that would implicate his boss, or whether he is going to explain away his own actions, maybe he has a reason, explanations, whatever it, is the only risk for donald trump is that, it would do two things, they would explicitly say i did something wrong, i feel that it is, wrong and donald trump told me to, or even worse, they could back it up with some sort of documentation. but
