In kansas, but half a world away in ukraine where russian soldiers are continuing to pound the donbas region aided by russian airstrikes. Weve seen better than a thousand airstrikes a day on the part of the russians, and that is well beyond whats going on in the donbas region. Lets go to matt finn with the latest. Matt. Reporter and, neil, a senior u. S. Defense official says russias latest offensive is going slower than planned. Ukrainian forces are pushing back, they are fighting off russias attempts to gain the donbas region and the south eastern portion of this country, that area it wants so badly. When Russian Forces retreat from a city or region, we are able to get a look at the atrocities and the catastrophic devastation left behind. So often residential neighborhoods and communities. Take a look at this new video showing the extent of the damage in the town of irpin near kyiv. It was the scene of intense fighting last month. Russian forces have since withdrawn. And near kharkiv
as it came out of my mouth i was wondering are we going to a problem next time trying to book imagine there were 50-50 odds you d just been chosen as one of the people to decide whether or not to criminally indict donald trump. that may very well be the case for the grand juries who are just seated in fulton county, georgia. today over 100 georgians showed up at the superior court of fulton county in atlanta. and for the sake of their privacy we re not going to show you any of them, but you can see fulton county district attorney fani willis was in the room. there she is right there. the judge sent about half of the potential jurors home, but the other half he directed to one side of the room or the other. they were split into grand jury a and grand jury b. each one was made up of 23 jurors plus alternates. now, other than the $25 a day these grand juries will get for their time, they may also get the chance to make history. for more than two years now fani willis h
Not just once donald trump demanded that his enemies have their security clearances taken away, people like john brennen, for example. and this was something where he sought to weaponize the machinery of government but also to weaponize information, which is what he s doing there with general milley. milley particularly infuriated him because he chose him himself. he tried to basically embarrass and undermine jim mattis, who was the defense secretary he was feuding with, and he thought, well, i m going to pick this guy, general milley, instead of it preferred choice who was an air force general of jim mattis. and then it really didn t work out. again, i would just like to point out that this kind of a feud between the top uniformed nonpolitical military officer and the commander in chief is almost without precedent in modern american history. it is something that really struck at sort of the foundations, and this began back during the election year in
Reporting that may have put the bee in donald trump s bonnet and in turn given rise to one of the most shocking pieces of evidence in this whole case. as she puts it, the tape, this damning evidence against trump would not exist if not for his rift with general mark milley. joining us now to talk about the remarkable feud between trump and milley is susan glasser, a staff writer at new yorker. thank you for coming up to chat on set. what was your reaction when you heard this tape for the first time? was it like, yep, sounds like trump sph. definitely sounds like trump. donald trump is a big believer in the weaponization of information. that s what he s trying to do there, and of course that s very much in keeping with his style, but also an example of the big mouth getting donald trump in trouble. he doesn t text very much or if at all. he doesn t send e-mails, but what he does do is talk and talk
So it goes federal crimes, state crimes the pecking order. exactly. and then civil charges in order of importance. but remember georgia is a two-step process and so the investigative grand jury that gathered the information that she needs in order to present indictments to the grand jury that has convened today has already done its work. so joyce is absolutely right that she has a head start there. jack smith is also running this other case in mar-a-lago that has some timing challenges of its own, and so that s all also where a lot of his focus must be. and in that one, you know, we have this motion last night trump made about delaying indefinitely, and it s not reasonable to ask for indefinite delay, and some of his reasons not persuasive in the least, but the truth is the clock is on his side. i actually wondered why he did
