Summary

Two American hostages, a mother and daughter, are released by Hamas. A source tells CNN it was on “humanitarian grounds”. But what exactly does that mean, and can their experience be a road map to rescue those still held captive? Plus, former Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro admits he conspired with Trump, Giuliani and Trump attorney John Eastman to put forward fake electors in Georgia. And, Congress remains paralyzed as the GOP fail to agree on a House Speaker - what will America do at what President Biden calls an ‘inflection point’? Also, Trump is fined $5,000 for violating a gag order in his New York fraud trial. For daily information on the Israel-Gaza conflict, check out CNN’s podcast ‘Tug of War: Attack on Israel’.
