Thanks to you for joining us this. I'm really happy to have you here. There's a lot going on.

Theona Hill is going to be joining us here live tonight.

Theona Hill, of course, was senior director for Europe and Russia at the National Security

Council during the Trump presidency, which means she had a somewhat

terrifying front row seat to some of the weirdest things any U.S. President has ever tried to get away with.

Fianna Hill is here tonight as there have been some dramatic developments today about the

informant who provided the central allegations at the heart of congressional Republicans efforts to

impeach President Biden this year. This informant today was sent to jail

indefinitely by a federal judge in California. He is in jail awaiting trial. Prosecutors arrested

and indicted him a week and a half ago, alleging that his statements to law

enforcement about President Biden and his family not only were lies but this man had been

fed lies and disinformation about President Biden by Russian intelligence.

Despite those ties to Russian intelligence, a magistrate last week, somewhat inexplicably

allowed the man to be released awaiting trial with an ankle monitor, but this federal judge in California reversed that decision today,

ordered the man jailed after prosecutors said they found, among other things, nine guns in his apartment,

and the judge said that he believed the man was trying to

abscond from the United States. Well he will not be absconding from

anywhere he is in jail awaiting trial in this remarkable turn in that story.

Fiona Hill is here to talk about that tonight

about what is apparently now the third straight election

in which Russian intelligence appears to be engaged in efforts to help Donald Trump and Republicans

and to hurt the Democratic candidate who is running against Trump.
