Summary

With tensions rising in Eastern Europe, there are new concerns that Russia has planned fake videos in order to create justification for a possible invasion of Ukraine. United States officials now claim to have evidence that Russia fabricated a graphic video using actors. Pentagon Spokesman John Kirby discusses paths of diplomacy when dealing with Russian propaganda, aiding Ukrainian defense, and transparency with the American public about these allegations. The United States' national debt has exceeded $30 trillion for the first time in history. The current spending bill's February 18th expiration date is fast approaching, and Congress is rushing to avoid a shutdown and keep the government open. FOX News Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram shares his analysis of Congress' progress in reaching a deal and explanations about what's been driving the country's debt.
