4:00 pm
the heart of hurricane season yet. >> pictures so dramatic, bryan todd thank you very much and to our viewers, thank you very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room," you can always follow me on twitter and instagram, tweet the show at cnn sit room. erin burnett, "outfront" starts right now. "outfront" next, it's election night in america and in south carolina, polls just closing. will trump-backed election denier take down republican indu incumbent who stood up to trump on the election. >> plus, a part of biden's party, but not doing business, the crowned prince in saudi arabia. >> this building getting completely swept away by flood waters as the family watched. let's go "outfront."
4:01 pm
good evening, i'm erin burnett, "outfront" tonight it is election night in america and front and center tonight are trump's lies about the 2020 election, as the january 6th committee lays out its case for how trump tried to overturn the election and knowingly lie to his supporters about it. trump's conspiracy theories are not just a thing about the historical record, you know, that we need to put in there. they're not a thing of the past, they're actually still metastasizing, just listen to two of the trump-backed candidate on the ballot tonight. >> tonight, will transform our election. you know that they did it to the election in this city. we fought right through to the end. they took the election. >> we the people know the election was stolen and we are not taking it anymore. >> so, one of those was adam running for nevada senate, other is katie arrington running for house seat in carolina, where
4:02 pm
polls closed a the the hour. counting now. trying to unseat incumbent nancy mace who was critical of trump and allies after the deadly insurrection. >> his entire legacy was wiped out yesterday. they should be taking 100% responsibility for this, i was shocked as anybody that the words turned to action yesterday. >> also hoping to hold on to a seat in south carolina is republican tom rice, now, shocked his party, he was one of those gop votes to impeach trump for the role in the january 6th riot, a vote that rice knew could cost him his seat. >> if you lose, is it going to be worth it? >> sure, it will be worth it. absolutely. >> your obituary, the first sentence is going to be tom rice, who was a republican member of congress and voted to impeach donald trump. >> that will be it. i'll wear it like a badge. so be it. >> jeff zelaney "outfront" live
4:03 pm
in mint. pleasant, south dcarol, polls closed two or three minutes ago, counting now commenced, what is the latest you're hearing from voters in the state and the campaigns. >> well erin, the polls were open 12 hours 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., republican officials telling us they believe it was a low turn out race, not surprising on a very warm, summer june day, but there is a very passionate following here and that is what could actually turn this race. nancy mace, of course in her first term as a republican member of congress. she flipped this district back in 20 tw20 a democrat won it la time. elect her to be the party nominee, and she will keep the seat in republican hands. her opponent, of course, katie arrington, she's, you know, backed by the former president, full throated but the voters we
4:04 pm
talked to seem perfectly capable as we saw in other states before to support the former president but not follow his lead necessarily and who he's endorsing . so certainly, a lot of optimism on the may side of the campaign, perhaps a slightly different dynamic north of us here along the coast from myrtle beach down about halfway through the state. tom rice, one of 10 republicans to vote to impeach president trump, first one to face a primary challenge like this. republicans do believe this is likely to go into a run o off contest a few weeks from now. so even though many republican voters we talked to said yes they're willing to make up their own minds, can still be agitated. it's the impeachment vote here that makes a difference in the race. nancy mace did not vote to impeach trump, she voted to surt fi
4:05 pm
, certify the election, and rice has kept right on, saying trump is the past the party. we'll see if republicans agree with him but no doubt this is the latest stop in trump's revenge tour, we'll see if republicans are listening to him or following their own lead. >> jeff, thank you very much and as we get results we'll go back to jeff. i want to go to john king at the magic wall, now, though, as these polls close in south carolina, john, what are you seeing? >> erin, no votes yet, this is the state of south carolina, remember how republican this state is, donald trump won it by a dozen points in 2020 so this is a good year for republicans, think whoever wins the primaries in the house district, easily coast to election but this is the tom rice district, it has myrtle beach, people say a house distr district, don't know where that is, this is along the coast of south carolina then stretches along to more rural areas, russell fry the trump-backed candidate, supports the big lie. what's different, first time
4:06 pm
republican voters are going, bill barr, people say no, the big lie is a lie and we told trump that so will it affect republican voters? russell fry believes in the big lie, tom rice you just heard, proud of his vote ask if he loses his job and career in politics so be it, this is the myrtle beach area, then move south along the coast, ch charleston, a city many americans know. a lot of resort communities here, stretches into rural areas here, katie arrington supports the big lie, you played her at the top of the program again despite the fact everyone around trump says the big lie is a lie, the big lie is the fraud and then nancy mace who you play.. she worked for trump in 2016, now critical of him, and saying i'd rather talk about other things than trump, trying to find the sweet spot in the middle but as jeff noted, this is another race like in georgia, she has a lot of the republican establishment around her, believes that will help her tonight including nikki hayley,
4:07 pm
trump's ambassador to the united nations, making sure we don't get the early votes, nothing yell, erin, when they do come, tend to come in pretty quick. >> hopefully they do here as we continue this hour and you can show us what to get. but speaking of polls closing, not closing in nevada, in fact open three more hours i understand john so what are you watching for there tonight, another important one. >> nevada is a huge state not just tonight but in november, a republicans think they can flip the governor's office, flip control of the senate, also think they can flip two or three house seats so to nevada, this is the map here. i'll turn to the republican primary, this is the race you highlight at the top. adam laxala famous name in the party, used to be considered more mainstream sestablishment republican, bought into the big lie. it was close, donald trump -- we can show our viewers. 50 to 47, 2 1/2 point, three
4:08 pm
point, but joe biden won in nevada without a doubt back in 2020, but again, this cancer is spreading in the republican party and we're going to see it here tonight in other races as well, erin, even though we now have on the record from the january 6th committee everybody around donald trump saying joe biden won fair and square and yet the cancer is in the body and republican candidates keep saying no, no to facts, no he to the truth, no to math. >> as you said, spreading, now we're seeing it. people who want to say put it in the past, it's clearly not. john, thank you, we'll go back to john as the results in south carolina could come in could come in quickly and those polls closed eight minutes ago. in the mean time, van joanes wih me now, special adviser to president biden obama, since advised candidates running against trump-backed candidates. so let's be clear here, david, when we look at south carolina awaiting those results, nancy mace and tom race both on trump's hit list, slams them
4:09 pm
both constantly. mace has been trying, though, to say let's talk about other things, you heard john king, let's not back down on the fact you took down trump, tom rice on the other hand, not backing down, not stepping away from his criticism of trump at all. whose strategy is better? >> i guess we'll find out tomorrow morning. right erin? listen, nancy mace and tom rice have two completely different districts as well, nancy mace's district is a lot more purple and i think that she's trying to run through the raindrops not getting wet, so to speak, and the woman she ran against is running against her tonight, was the congresswoman who lost that seat to democrat, so she's a different claim to make. tom rice, i think is happy with his fate, whatever it's going to be and i think he's headed for a runoff but i expect he looked at his number and see feels a little differently about his race than nancy mace does tonight. >> as you point out, not just the message, but the audience and where she is, a lot more
4:10 pm
purple for sure. >> in his district, if you looked at john's drawing on the map there, rice's district goes way into deep south, south carolina where there's a lot more conservatives. >> so van, nevada. three hours away here. kim law was out there and spoke with one of the members of the powerful unions in nevada, wields a lot of power in that state with las vegas so they're working on getting out the vote and i want to play part of that conversation for you. >> when you talk to people, how are they feeling? >> they're mad. they're mad at democrats. >> reporter: are you worried about senator cortez still this year? >> yes. yes. it's going to be tough. this election. >> why this feeling right now? >> well that's an honest reflection of the democratic party grass roots this summer. there's just a sense of
4:11 pm
disappointment and frustration. i think people are going to get back in the fight in the fall when we realize if you just stay mad and don't participate you're going to get a worse outcome but i think people have had such high hopes when trump left that things are going to be great, get all this stuff done. democrats got a lot done but promised to do even more and when you come up short and you got, you know, gas prices through the roof, it's hurting the morale of the grass roots. i don't think it will be true in the fall. >> so trump still carries weight among republicans, we talk about the metastasizing lie about the election, his former attorney general bill barr now on tape calling trump's election fraud claims bullshit, crazy, amateur, nonsense, saying he lost sense with reality. all those things. he still says he's going to vote for trump if he's the nominee, are we going to see more of that? >> yeah, erin, i think it's the state of politics, it's the crazy state of our politics, you
4:12 pm
talk about, reflected by that poll that, you know, the person out there knocking doors and trying to work for the democrats, it's the reality we face that people are so frustrated, so frustrated with their lives, when they go to the gas pump and were hoping for something different but they see run away inflation and they don't have jobs, their shelves are empty, you know, and it's impacting their daily live and see they think listen, you know, trump was bad but my life was better, my 401 k existed. people look down and have brackets on your 401k now, if you're fortunate to have anything in your 401k, people look back and things were different. might be happy with donald trump, i don't think a lot of people will take the rhetoric, but maybe take the policies without the rhetoric and that's what they're divided about. >> so van, there are concerns among some democrats. not putting names behind it, we're seeing it publicly and now percolated about whether biden should run in 2024, so i want to
4:13 pm
play an exchange from last night, don lemon speaking to the press secretary. >> does the president have the stamina, physically and mentally, do you think, to continue on even after 2024? >> don, you're asking me this question. oh my gosh. he's the president of the united states. you know, he -- i can't even keep up with him. we just got back from new mexico. just got back from california. that is -- that is not a question that we should be even asking. >> okay. as david axelrod said and he put his name on it said if this is a person who wins will be closer to 90 during the second term than 80, so these are fair questions. joe biden said these are fair questions the last time he was running so do you have these questions? >> i think everybody is looking very closely now. i, what biden does well, he does really well, that gun speech he gave, he was perfect. it was powerful.
4:14 pm
when he does badly, when he stumbles, you get nervous and you wonder, is it just a stutter, is he tired or something else there. so i think people just looking, i think democrats are like, if this guy is ready to go we're behind him but if he's not ready to go should let us know. i think that's what's going on. >> look, guys, you saw him on jimmy kimmel, had to bail him out. it was a softball interview, he was wandering through the desert and kimmel's throwing a lifeline to get a commercial. >> the way i see it is he's uneven. when he does well he does really well and when he doesn't, he doesn't so the question is which one you focus on, the right wing love to see focus when he does not as well but we also got to recognize. he's under more pressure than probably any president has been in in six or seven generations and doing reasonably well so if anyone says democrats aren't beginning to have these questions behind closed doors, that's not true. people are, but if he's ready to go, people in his party are ready to back him up. >> i guess the question is what
4:15 pm
happens at the midterms, what decision is made and how it's put out there. thank you both, very much, of course we're waiting these r results from south carolina, usually come in quickly when they start to come in. polls are closed so we're watching every second. next, the stock market in bear territory, tonight, a big reason for the malaise you heard in kim's interview there. fed ready to take action, but could harm in more ways, jim bianco is on deck, plusz more footage from the committee showing a trump campaign lawyer, showing trump ally he could be breaking a law. and more weapons, will they be even enough to stop putin in time? bath fitter doesn't just fit youour bath. we fit your life. when you're tired of looking at your tired old bathth, we fit your style, with hundreds of design options. when a normal day is anything but normal,

tonight, s&p down for the fifth day in a row, sinking deeper into bear market territory. this, as president biden was touting the economic progress made on his watch, while ackno acknowledging the inflation prices is taking a toll on american families. >> under my plan for the economy, made extraordinary progress, put america in a position to tackle a worldwide problem worse everywhere but -- inflation. it's sapping the strength of a lot of families.
4:20 pm
>> so this is coming as the fed meets tomorrow and is expected to take aggressive action on interest rates, likely raising them 3/4 of a percentage point. when you have rates basically hovering around zero for years, that's a lot. and it is, in fact, by any measure, a lot. it is the biggest hike, a 3/4 hike in one meeting would be the biggest hike in 30 years. "outfront" now, jim bianco, economic analyst and president of bianco research. so jim, how big a deal would it be at this point for the fed to do this, to come out and raise interest rates by 3/4 of a percentage point? >> it will be a big deal, because they're signaling that they're going to get aggressive on interest rates. tomorrow's expected rate hike of 3/4 of a% percent is not alone going to be the difference maker but if it's the start of more such hikes and the market does expect the next meeting in july they're going to do it again,
4:21 pm
that the cumulative of all of that should have some very powerful action on the economy. >> i mean, you know, if you think about it, right, within a month, a 1 1/2% increase in the base rate, is a pretty stunning thing and in the context of recent years where interest rates haven't even been things people had to think about. these numbers are enormous. they're also enormous objectively within the context of 30 years of history. but even these kinds of increases, given what we're seeing on inflation, it might take even more. right? to stop the inflation genie now that it's out of the bottle? >> yeah, it might, but let's remember what the fed is trying to do. the fancy word they use is tightening financial conditions. you and i might know that as lower the stock market. and if you lower the stock market, hopefully will get people to pause or at least roll back some of their spending. that will take the demand for goods and suervices down a litte bit and remove inflation. so what they're trying to
4:22 pm
accomplish is to, you know, make us all look at the stock market a little bit more skeptically and hopefully that will translate into our everyday purchases in order to bring inflation down. that's not exactly what we want them to do, but that's the only tool that they have right now. >> right, well it's a blunt one, but when you get to this point, and again, you know, you had money coming out during the covid money, right, you had the fed flooding the economy with money. this has been many, many years of this, getting to this point. but in terms of pointing the blame, biden railed against record corporate profits, demanding companies pay more in taxes. now focused specifically on oil companies as gas prices hit record highs. when you look at the math here because by the way, there is math to be done. you look at corporate profit, are they playing a role in
4:23 pm
inflation crisis or more of a political punching bag? >> no, more political, they're not playing a role, the reason it's so high, is largely the supply and demand imbalance. we're demanding more gasoline we can currently produce, making it up through imports and if you subtract from it whatever the corporate profits are, maybe take a few pennies off that number, a nickel or dime at most but then does anyone feel better because we're at 4.92 on gas? it's not really the major problem. major problem now is we can't refine enough crude oil into gasoline for what we're demanding. >> and that's obviously the bottom line, what has to be addressed. jim bianco, thank you very much, ahead of this fed decision tomorrow. next, january 6th postponing tomorrow's hearing, we'll speak a member of the committee next. and alexei navalny on the move,

are you out of your effing mind? that's a quote, what trump campaign attorney eric hirschman said he asked conservative lawyer john eastman, after january 6th, he did that because eastman who tried to pressure pence to overturn the election was allegedly still trying to challenge the results. here's herschman. >> he started to ask me about something dealing with georgia preserving something, potentially for appeal.
4:29 pm
and i just said to him, are you out of your effing mind? because i only want to hear two words coming out of your mouth from now on, orderly transition. and eventually, he said orderly transition. i said, good john. now, i'm going to give you the best free legal advice you're ever getting in your life. get a great effing criminal defense lawyer. you're going to need it. >> all right, that testimony is significant. and powerful. and it was just released by the january 6th select committee after it postponed tomorrow's hearing at the last minute. "outfront" now, democratic congr congresswoman murphy, now i know it will focus on the campaign to pressure pence to overturn the election, john eastman a key player in that effort. can your committee prove not just that donald trump was aware
4:30 pm
of this pressure campaign but that he was actually behind it and orchestrating it as well? >> i think you have seen in the last two hearings that we do have evidence for the assertions that we make during the hearings and i will let folks tune in to the third hearing to see the evidence and often, that evidence is presented in the words of republican advisers to the president and they are recounting their perspective on this effort to apply pressure to the vice-president, the department of justice or otherwise or they're providing information about how they provided guidance to the president that he had lost the election, that there was nothing there there when it came to the fraud allegations. that the court cases that were being pressed had basically, hasn't been ruled in his favor. so we will be laying out that evidence in the third hearing . >> so u.s. capitol police chief tom major today said there was
4:31 pm
no evidence that the republican congressman berry led constituents on a reconnaissance tour on january 5th, the day before the insurrection. now this comes as your committee raised question about ladermilk's interactions that day and some democrats alleged republicans did give tour to see members of the pro-trump mob ahead of the insurrection, so congresswoman, i know you have had a chance to look at these results as part of the u.s. capitol, you know, findings. do you accept the findings of the capitol police chief? >> the committee is still continuing its investigation into this specific area of interest and we haven't come up with any of our conclusions yet. i think that there will be some information forthcoming as we wrap up that part of our investigation. of course, we will take into consideration what the capitol police have said and how they reached their conclusion but we haven't yet completed our investigation and i think it's very important that we do.
4:32 pm
because we have access to a broader range of information than, maybe, necessarily, what the u.s. capitol police is looking at. >> so, you're, which is important, and important, you know, i hear you loud and clear. you've got more information than they have so, you know, i think all eyes will be on what you do conclude. your committee's hearing for tomorrow was postponed this mo morning, congresswoman, at the last minute and congressman aguilar, gives i quote, time to digest the hearing so far. congresswoman lofgren though, blamed technical issues so what was the real reason? >> you know, it was a combination of scheduling issues, as you saw in the second hearing, one of our witnesses had a life event, the, his wife went into labor -- yes, that's right. so we had to make adjustments at the very last minute and the reality is we're putting these hearings together very meticulously and it takes a lot of effort and the effort is
4:33 pm
performed by people who are human beings with lives and schedules and we are working around witnesses' schedules and otherwise, i think an upside benefit of pacing this out a bit which mr. aguilar pointed to was to allow folks to absorb it but a think a lot is simply driven by logistics which is boring and not something the media wants to talk about. easier to speculate what scandal is driving this but the reality is it's just about working with a lot of hardworking people who also have lives and are dealing with, you know, the things that come up and scheduling and whatnot. >> all right, congresswoman murphy, i prappreciate your tim thank you very much. next, incredible access to ukrainian troops. you'll see how they're using the weapons supplied by the united states and its allies. >> this exercise is designed to

western weapons. there's a problem, though, we're told there's not enough western ammunition. and not enough weapons, either. even in this drill, much of the firepower dates back to the soviet era. ukrainian forces are slowly losing ground in the battle for the eastern donbas region. morale here is high. >> good morning, vietnam! >> reporter: yet no one believes these rifles will halt the russian advance. >> this, this is not enough. >> reporter: ukrainian officials say russian artillery outnumbers their artillery at a ratio perhaps more than 10 to 1, used to deadly effect in the city of severodonetsk, now almost completely under russian control.
4:40 pm
big guns, not small arms, could help ukraine turn the tide. >> if i can protect myself as a soldier with this weapon, i can protect my comrades, but unfortunately, i can't clear my country from invaders using only this rifle so we need more artillery. we need to have a rocket system, and serious weapon, because it's a modern war. >> reporter: u.s. and its allies delivered advanced weapon systems to ukraine, and more are on the way. but the army here is losing men at an alarming rate, more than 100 killed in action every day according to ukrainian officials. we need a basic minimum to avoid more casualties. artilleries, smart weapons, radar, drones, and people to train us says the commander lieutenant oleksandr of the

south carolina, john, what are you seeing now. >> split verdict so far in the very early results in these two congressional districts where donald trump is airing grievances if you will, look at the seventh south carolina congressional district, russell fry the trump-backed candidate, tom rice, is losing at the moment quite significantly to russell, fry, want to note we could take a different look at the district. see where the votes are coming in so far, the rural areas more in north western part of the district, if rice has a chance it will be with voters in the myrtle beach area, but this is a very republican district again, the trump-backed candidate with the early lead there. now look at district number one, where nancy mace is the incumbent, donald trump would like her defeated by the candidate katie arrington, but look, more than two to one lead, again, charleston county is nancy mace's base, but early results, you got a lot of math

to do. >> right, good to start, but you see where it goes. john king, thank you very much and we are going to keep an eye on those as that map starts to fill in here through the evening, see if mace maintains that lead or not. also tonight, president biden coming under fire from his own party as the white house announces he will meet with saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman next month, biden looks forward to this visit to saudi arabia, been a strategic partner of the united states for nearly eight decades. that is true, but this is a clear reversal from his tough talk on the campaign trial what he vowed to isolate the saudis and asked specifically, after the 2018 murder and dismemberment of journalist koshogi. >> koshigo was in fact murdered
4:48 pm
and dismembered and i made it clear we would not sell more weapons to them, we would in fact make them pay the price and make them the pariah they are. there is little social redeeming value in the president of saudi arabia. they have to be held accountable. >> appear to be genuine and certainly what he believed. of course, now's president, there are other considerations so he is planning this visit. by the way, the biden administration already sold more than $600 million in weapon systems to saudi arabia since biden took office, "outfront" now, congressman of virginia, koshogi lived his district, took this member before. so, congressman, you have any advocate for koshogi's family? the bonesaw dismemberment of

jamal koshogi kosshocked the wo. do you think biden should be leaving and meeting with the crowned prince mohammed bin salman. >> obviously, as you point out, the relationship with saudi arabia goes back 80 years with fdr. it's complicated, it's layered with many concerns and issues, but at the end of the day, i think president biden was right when he was candidate biden about this relationship and holding to account the individual who was complicit in and ordered the brutal murder and dismemberment of my constituent jamal khashoggi and that is the crowned prince. >> and president biden, then candidate biden was clear, that khashoggi was dismembered and we're not going to sell more weapons to them, he has in fact done that. we'll make them pay the price
4:50 pm
and make them the pariah -- it seemed to me, at the time, and that seemed to me that that's what he believes. that is what he believes, he has, but why do you think biden doing this now? why has the pressure exceeded what he seems to believe personally? >> i believe that he's had counsel from some in the state department, some on the national security council that the need to bring mbs, the crown prince, to account for justice in his involvement in the murder of jamal khashoggi has to be weighed against other concerns. we're experiencing a huge inflationary spiral in the price of oil. we need saudi arabia to produce more of it. if we're going to bring down the cost of gas in the united

states. the saudis have brought sanctions against russia in the ukranian war, and we need their help there. so i think he's getting advice that if you want their cooperation, they made it very clear you have to stand down in the original position. >> right, and i understand that. i will say just for a point of consistency, if he thinks it's worth it to bring down oil prices or gas prices to do business with saudi arabia, wouldn't it be consistent, then, to be open to pulling back some of the restrictions on refining in the u.s. or drilling in the u.s. as well? >> presumably. but i think we have to all ask ourselves, all of that is interesting and fine and important, but at what price? i mean, a man was murdered by the number 2 in foreign government. that can't be acceptable to the president of the united states. >> obviously they're going ahead with this trip. congressman, i appreciate your

tonight extreme weather. yellowstone national park closed to visitors after there is worse flooding than seen in 100 years. in columbus, ohio the temperature reached 108 degrees. outside chicago, planes flipped overdue to major wind gusts. and these unsettling conditions extend beyond the u.s. in north america, a massive and bizarre hailstorm in mexico city turning the streets into chaotic scenes like this one. amazing. mexico city. parker is out front. he evacuated with his family after flooding left them stranded there for days. parker, i appreciate your time. it's fantastic you were able to get out of yellowstone. i understand you were able to get out of highway 89 which has
4:57 pm
also seen severe flooding. we're showing it here from the air. that is stunning and terrifying. i know you took a video of a building being swept up by flooding before you even left yellowstone which is surreal to watch it now, i can only imagine what it was like in real life. tell me more about how bad the conditions have been. >> it was pretty crazy. water was rising pretty quick. we were standing on a deck on our cabin that we had rented from vrbo and watched as the embankment started to slough away and move down into the water, watching the water rise, the debris going through. it was really moving and flowing an enormous amount of water. >> you and your family, i know, were in yellowstone on vacation. obviously you didn't expect to get stuck.
4:58 pm
what was your reaction, parker, when you found out there is nowhere for you to go and water levels are going up? >> we were very surprised when we got up monday morning. we were planning on checking out and heading into yellowstone and abruptly found out that we were stuck, everything was closed, really had no indication of when we might get out. so it was a little bit worrisome, but we just had to kind of go with the flow and make things work. so we were concerned but not terribly worried, i guess. it seemed like emergency management people in the area were doing a great job trying to organize everything and trying to keep people informed of what was going on. we were actually on a phone call about noon today where they explained that they were able to clear off some debris on the roads, do some minor repairs just to let some traffic out today, and we had a one-time opportunity to evacuate, so we
4:59 pm
took advantage of it. >> absolutely. the flooding is unprecedented in the area. bridges have been completely blown out, roads under water. i know you're familiar with the area, you've spent plenty of time there. have you ever seen anything like this? >> no. not in that area. i mean, we have experienced some flooding ourselves in indiana, but not very much in indiana. it was very widespread. the amount of water flowing through there was truly amazing, and to watch that building come off the embankment and float downstream was just -- it was crazy. >> that's amazing to see it, and disturbing. parker, thank you very much. i appreciate it. i'm glad you and your family are out. thanks. >> thank you very much. have a great evening. and finally tonight, a story we've been following. top putin leader alexei navalny has been moved to a security

prison in russia. that's according to russian media. it's because of abuse of his teammates. they still haven't received confirmation of his whereabouts and his family wasn't informed that he would be moved. navalny was sentenced in march to two and a half years in prison. he was returned to russia after being poisoned and nearly dying. thanks for joining us.
