january 6th investigation in recent weeks. the interview of rudy giuliani finally, right? he s a key figure in former president trump s effort to overturn the 2020 election and then today the georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger, i want to remind people why he is so key here. let s take a listen to a brief cliff from the january 2021 call between trump and the secretary of state. so, look, all i want to do is this i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state. so raffensperger is not only a witness in the special counsel probe. he is also a key witness in the state level investigation. we expect the d.a., fani willis down there to make some sort of announcement about any potential charges she ll bring in august and it appears that special counsel jack smith could be on a similar time line to announce any charging decisions this summer. we are also hearing once again from former president trump responding to ou ....
Russian security services poisoned mr. litvinenko. they found that putin very likely was the person who gave orders. putin s regime has denied involvement in those poisonings. analysts say with putin, these cases are all about message sending. when you see incidents of members of the russian business circles or others who have met unfortunate, early demise, it s more about the sensational ripple effects that that creates. some analysts expect v lad meier putin to engage in a sweeping crackdown possibly of russia s elites in the wake of the prigozhin insurrection, but one critic financier bill broader says putin himself is vulnerable right now that if he s perceived to be weakened enough someone will have a go at him. very interesting and important. brian todd reporting, thank you very, very much. for more on this, i want to bring in jill doherty, a russian expert and cnn moscow bureau ....

First of all, what message is putin sending with this latest appearance? i think it s a pretty cheap bit to replicate the scenes. we saw in rostov on saturday when yevgeny prigozhin, the unsur ekz leader had people coming embracing his hand in an suv. we saw from test against some of the mobilization that we saw last year with a crowd that looks, frankly, pretty staged, very adoring and very close to him and not the putin that kept everyone at a distance during the pandemic and for quite a while after it, but it comes after a day in which more reporting is emerging suggesting the split and dangers from his own military top brass. i spoke to a european intelligence official who said it was possible that there had been prior knowledge amongst the russian military and establishment of this insurrection. they said they heard of hints to that effect and possibly some of ....
