Summary

First, Secretary of State Antony Blinken joins CNN's Dana Bash to discuss growing tensions between Ukraine and Russia after the British government released a statement saying that Russia is working to install a pro-Kremlin leader in Ukraine. Then, Republican Sen. Joni Ernst details her support for immediate sanctions on Russia. And as two of President Biden's major policy priorities are stalled in the Senate, Biden proposed passing smaller "chunks" of the Build Back Better plan. Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders explains how Senate Democrats could make this happen. Then, New York City Mayor Eric Adams joins to discuss the steps he's taking to make New York City safer after one NYPD police officer was killed this weekend and a total of five police officers have been shot in New York this month. Finally, former President Trump is facing mounting legal setbacks while the Jan. 6 committee now has access to 700+ pages of Trump White House documents. Former Trump White House Communications Director Alyssa Griffin and former Trump Campaign Adviser David Urban discuss how these threats factor into the former president’s political ambitions.
