Today on Velshi, we are following breaking news in the quickly escalating conflict in Ukraine.

The State Department is ordering most diplomatic staff to evacuate the U.S. Embassy in Kiev,

as the Biden administration warns that Russia could invade Ukraine at any moment.

Plus, another week, another investigation surrounding the twice-impeached ex-president.

We'll talk to a member of the committee that's looking into how 15 boxes of presidential

hours-long period after he spoke at a rally, which served as a sort of a battle cry for the

charge on the Capitol. That, of course, is impossible because it's known that Trump had a number

of calls with Republican lawmakers during that

time frame, including with the House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and former college football

coach turned Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville, who both previously publicly professed that they

talked to him during that time.
