kiley in ukraine. sam, what do you know? >> reporter: well, victor and alisyn, just in the last hour or so we've had confirmation from polish authorities of a very, very dramatic and potentially inflammatory moment in history really, which is that two projectiles of some kind, rockets, missiles, we don't know exactly what, we also critically don't know who fired them, but we do know that they landed in polish territory very close to the border with ukraine in farmland, hitting a grain store and reportedly killing two polish citizens, or residents. now, this is a very dramatic potential escalation obviously because poland is a nato country. there were ongoing cruise missile attacks being carried out in the west of ukraine close to poland's border at the time that these projectiles landed on

polish territory. it is conceivable that they are russian missiles. it's equally conceivable at this stage that they could be the spent rockets of anti-aircraft missiles fired by ukrainians, although that is somewhat less likely on a technical level. but this has automatically triggered a meeting of the equivalent of the national security council inside the polish government, who are meeting now to decide how to react, what to say to this dramatic moment. there is in the worst case scenario from many people's perspective a chance that the poles might be inclined to apply to nato for the all for one and one for all type support on a military level with this in terms of wanting to go for retaliation. i think that's extremely unlikely. but this is and will be seen as a very dramatic escalation, a spreading of the war outside the borders of russia and ukraine.

alisyn? >> sam, how long will it take for them to figure out where the missiles came from? >> reporter: i don't think it will be very long at all. judging by the the photographs of the debris on site and based on my own albeit unscientific experience it's pretty easy to identify the provenance of spent missiles from the remains of the engine type, what remains of the explosive type, and very often there are at least parts, serial numbers that can at least identify to whom they were originally supplied. there could be some confusion in both the russians and ukrainians use very similar types of equipment. but ultimately i don't think it will be very difficult for the poles to find out pretty soon where these missiles or projectiles came from. and then it will be a very important process of figuring out the level of the deliberate nature, whether or not there was a deliberate intent to try and

penetrate polish air space, which is extremely unlikely, but perhaps whether there was a disregard for the consequences, for the dangers that penetrating polish airspace might pose for russia if indeed these are russian missiles. but above all it does signal -- and many of us who've been covering this war now, i've been covering it for i don't know, close to six months on and off. one of the issues that has always been looming very, very large is when russia fires its missiles, particularly its cruise missiles on cities like lviv, they're very, very close to poland's border. there is a great deal of room for a catastrophic accident that could ignite a fire that could be very, very difficult to put out. i have to say that in this case it is likely the poles will react with extreme rage and horror if this is a russian weapon or something -- or an incident they're blaming on the russians. but i think it's unlikely that they would want to trigger some

more military option. but it is a country that is pretty militant in its support for ukraine. they are very keen to increase the amount of weaponry from their own stocks that they can supply to ukraine. and this certainly would play into the hands of people who support their argument inside poland. >> sam, you touched on this just a bit, but these two rockets or missiles, these two projectiles, they land in poland as we're seeing this escalated missile campaign from the russians in some pretty important and populated areas of ukraine. >> yeah, right across the country here in kryvyi rih which i'm pretty much to the south of the country. there's been sirens, there's been a lot of anti-aircraft activity. we're not exactly sure what the detonations are, whether it's incoming or outgoing missiles. two missiles, two residential buildings hit in kyiv with at

least two people killed there. kharkiv, very, very bad effects on the electrical supply system. around the whole nation, according to government, they're saying that 7 million ukrainians are now without electricity as a result of this latest, several series of salvos, cruise missiles and quite probably the long-range drones supplied by iran to russia again. this is the second devastating attack on the critical national infrastructure, particularly in the electrical infrastructure of ukraine since the beginning of october. and indeed this one according to president zelenskyy was on a scale that exceeded the last one back in the beginning of october. >> sam kiley, thank you very much for all this breaking news. obviously, we'll scheck back with you. as you point out, this has international implications, what has just happened. cnn's senior national security correspondent alex marquardt joins us now. alex, what have you learned?

>> reporter: well, significant international implications, alisyn and victor. and of course the big question right now is a question over article 5. as sam was just describing it. an all for one, one for all. of course as you know well, when nato is attacked -- the fundamental basis of the nato charter is that when one nation in nato is attacked that the others will come to its aid in a military conflict. so the biggest question that is going to be tried to answer now is that question of intent. we do know of course that russia was intending to strike ukraine today in a very significant way. scores of missiles raining down all across ukraine from the eastern side of the country where of course so much of the fighting is happening all the way to lviv in the west, which has been relatively quiet. relatively i should say since the start of the conflict. there have been some attacks around lviv. there have been strikes on military installations. there have been strikes on

civilian and energy infrastructure. but for the most part the western side of ukraine has been relatively spared in this conflict. so the question now, did russia go too far and did they make a mistake? did they overshoot what they intended to with those missiles landing in poland, or did they actually intend to strike poland? that is less likely, and you would have to hope that in this moment that russia is trying to make assurances to poland and to the rest of nato that that was not their intent. we do not know that for now. we are certainly making a lot of calls right now to our sources at the white house, at the pentagon, in the intelligence community to try to figure out what that intent by russia was. but president joe biden has made it clear, and he has said repeatedly since the beginning of this war that the u.s. and the rest of the countries in nato would come to the aid of nato countries if they were to

be attacked. take a listen to this from president biden in just in september just a couple weeks ago. >> america's fully prepared with our nato allies to defend every single inch of nato territory. every single inch. so mr. putin, don't misunderstand what i'm saying. every inch. >> reporter: so as we tried to get more details about what exactly happened in poland, what the number of casualties are, we do know that there has been a national security meeting that has been convened by the polish government. you can certainly imagine that the poles both here in washington as well as in warsaw are calling their nato counterparts, likely calling moscow as well, to try to figure out what on earth happened here and to get a sense of what will come next. again, it is really a question of whether article 5 is part of

that conversation, whether the russians are making any kind of assurances right now that this was indeed a mistake. alisyn and victor? >> all right. let's bring into the conversation now cnn's chief international anchor christiane amanpour with this report of two projectiles now landing in poland, reports of two people killed. how does this change this war, this landscape? >> reporter: well, firstly, victor, we have called our sources inside the government in poland and an official has told us at this moment that, quote, nothing is confirmed and we are investigating. so that's about as high up and as face to face as we've been able to get with an actual government official in poland. you know, before we know what might happen we need to know exactly what has happened. and i think that is what we're obviously all trying to figure out and get the best information we possibly can. but it is absolutely clear -- >> christiane, hold on one second.

the pentagon is talking about it right now. let's take this. >> so when we do have an update to provide we'll be sure to do so. separately, one year ago this month families on oahu faced a crisis when fuel spills at the red hill -- >> the ending remarks of the pentagon statement on this. we were obviously coming into it late. i'll trust the control room to get me any headline from that. but christiane, let me come back to you on the point you were making that before we know what happens next we have to know what has already happened. continue your thought there. >> reporter: well, from the very, you know, small snippet we got of the pentagon spokesman there it appears that they too are not ready to confirm what happened. again, i think that's what we heard. and if the control room can tell you exactly what he said, that'll be good. but it does seem to be an amount of confusion right now. and you can imagine why. this is, you know, sort of a nightmare scenario because of all the red lines that nato leaders including the united

states, clearly the sxrrnths nato secretary-general and all the nato countries surrounding there have made it very clear that if, quote, one square inch of a nato country is attacked then that will invoke article 5 and that will invoke a response from all 30 nato nations. that's what article 5 means. so we really do have to wait and see exactly what it was. and i would assume that there's a lot of phone calling, there's a lot of hotlines that are being tapped right now. we know that there's a national security meeting called by the poles themselves. they will be discussing. they are right, as we know, bang up against this war. they provide the conduit for nato weapons and help to ukraine. and they're right there. so if russia is busy sending salvos of dozens and dozens of missiles, i mean, it did almost

seem a matter of time where one of these would go either astray or in the worst case scenario would be deliberately targeted at a potential weapons transport hub in one of those countries. that is what russia has threatened in the past. in fact, sergei lavrov himself threatened it not so long ago. lavrov himself has been with president biden and all the g20 leaders in indonesia. i'm afraid i don't know their state of play right now, whether they're all there together. but presumably he can give some answers if he's still there. the other thing to note is that, you know, internally, inside russia there has been a lot of division between the kremlin, between the military, between the bloggers, who have a huge impact, between people there who have said that russia has not taken the the war hard enough to ukraine yet and sort of goading

putin, goading the military into taking further stands. so who does one call right now? presumably obviously we know that the cia director bill burns has recently been in touch and face-to-face meeting with his russian counterpart in turkey to talk precisely about this kind of escalation, unwitting or otherwise, on many fronts we understand according to reports over the weekend. so he is the last one who we know has had this very close contact with a very important russian official. maybe we'll get some answers from there. president biden, as i said, has been in indonesia in the same meetings as the russian foreign minister. maybe there are answers to be gotten there. but at the moment it is something that we're waiting to see how we can confirm and what exactly was russia's intent. it's being said that these -- it's being blamed on russia. we'll wait to see exactly what

transpires. >> yeah, we're waiting to hear from several players here. the russians, the ukrainians, the leaders there in poland as well as here in the united states. christiane, sam, alex, thank you. of course we'll continue to get the latest on this breaking news as it comes in. >> okay. meanwhile, back here happening at this moment house republicans meeting behind closed doors and holding leadership elections. we're going to have a live update from capitol hill and of course keep you posted on the breaking news out of poland. isg with easy-order platters and lunchboxes perfect for any party. pool parties... tailgates... holidaday parties... even retirement parties. man, i love parties. subway keeps refreshing anand refreshing

with continued infighting over their lower than expected showing in the midterms. one trump-supporting senator says this marks the death of the republican party. >> i think that this election was the funeral for the republican party as we know it. the republican party as we have known it is dead. and voters have made that clear. we need to have a conversation about our core convictions as a party. and clearly this party is going to have to actually -- is going to have to be different. or we're not going to be a majority party in this country. >> and we're just getting this in. kevin mccarthy has been nominated for house speaker by his conference. the vote there, 188-31. cnn chief congressional correspondent manu raju joins us now. 31 people who do not support mccarthy for speaker. what are you learning? >> reporter: yeah, that's right. this happened behind closed doors. it's a secret ballot election. kevin mccarthy nominated by the house republican conference on a vote of 188-31. now, a little bit about these vote numbers. in order to become the speaker

of the house in january he will need 218 votes to become speaker. 31 members in this conference voted instead for andy biggs. he's the conservative member of the house freedom caucus. someone who tried to challenge mccarthy, knowing full well he did not have the votes to be nominated to become speaker but wanted to demonstrate that mccarthy did not have the 218 votes here to try to force concessions, try to -- for mccarthy as they try to negotiate, as mccarthy tries to push ahead and lock down the votes he needs in january to ultimately become speaker of the house, assuming republicans regain control of the house. now, it is not unusual for a speaker nominee to be under 218 votes. in fact, nancy pelosi in 2018 when she was nominated by democrats to be speaker she got 203 votes in that race. paul ryan, the republican in 2015 got 200 votes in his race. and in this race kevin mccarthy

188. so he still has work cut out for him ultimately to get the speaker's gavel, but at the moment he got what he needed, which is half the republican conference to get that nomination. and that means that he will be -- the first week in january it will be up to the full house to determine whether or not he gets that job, assuming republicans regain control. >> okay, manu, tell us about what's happening in the senate. is mitch mcconnell in a fight? >> reporter: well, republicans in the senate are still behind closed doors as they have met for the first time since their disappointing election results from last week in which they failed to take back the senate majority. republicans have a bit of a soul-searching session and some of them have called for a replacement, a new leader, or at least to put on the brakes on the wednesday leadership elections on the senate side in which mcconnell has the the votes right now to once again be re-elected as leader. and speaking to one republican, josh hawley, told me earlier that he does not believe that mcconnell is the leader to take them back to the majority.

listen. >> -- against leader mcconnell for republican leader, will you support him? >> yes. >> what's the problem of having mcconnell as leader for another two years? >> if you like the election results i guess there is no problem. but if you want to be a majority party clearly what we're doing isn't working and hasn't been work forget a long time. and i think you look at independent voters, we gave them nothing. no alternative. that was the decision by leadership. they didn't want to have an agenda. >> you don't think he could get you back to the majority? >> no. >> reporter: but there aren't enough votes to dethrone mitch mcconnell, who he will have the votes tomorrow and then he'll be the longest-serving party leader in senate history. and at the moment it's unclear if he'll face even a challenger. rick scott, the republican from florida, has kept open the option of running. but if he were to run it would be a protest vote of sorts, not enough to derail mcconnell but just a lot of consternation within the republican conference about what to do next as they

fell short of the senate majority and could potentially see democrats regain -- actually gain one seat if they take back georgia in the runoff election next month. guys? >> manu raju for us on capitol hill. thank you, manu. okay. now to donald trump's announcement tonight from mar-a-lago. the former president is expected to launch his third campaign for president. but of course anything is possible. cnn's gaby orr is here. gaby, donald trump is still moving forward from all reports despite more republicans speaking out, opposing his 2024 run. >> reporter: that's right, victor and alisyn. every indication that we're getting from trump's own orbit is that tonight will mark the launch of his 2024 presidential campaign. he is hoping that this moment, that deciding to launch this right now instead of waiting until early next year, which is the traditional timing for presidential wannabes, that this is going to help shift the conversation away from republican failures during the midterm elections and inject

enthusiasm into the republican base. now, a lot of republicans are skeptical that that is going to actually occur, and quite frankly have been very outspoken in not wanting donald trump to proceed with a 2024 announcement this evening. our colleague manu raju spoke with senators on capitol hill this morning, some of whom said they would like to see what other republicans enter the gop primary in the coming months before committing to support trump. others saying that they would really like to see fresh leadership for the party moving forward. but trump and his advisers are convinced that the timing is right, that he will proceed with this bid tonight hoping to galvanize his supporters and to send a message to potential republican rivals that he's jumping in early and that he is the automatic front-runner, that he is still the anchor of the republican party and anybody who wants to challenge him will have to face the sort of traditional vitriol that he has aimed at his

rivals previously. and we have seen that play out over the past week as he has lashed out at people like florida governor ron desantis, virginia governor glenn youngkin, two republicans who could potentially pose challenges to trump in a contested 2024 primary. >> okay. gabby orr, thank you for the latest. a critical win for democrats in arizona. cnn projects that katie hobbs beat republican kari lake in the governor's race by fewer than 20,000 votes. this was also another major defeat for 2020 election deniers. >> lake repeatedly called the 2020 election rigged and said she would not have certified joe biden's win in arizona if she had been governor at the time. lake has still not conceded the race. she tweeted overnight "arizonans know b.s. when they see it." let's talk about all of this with cnn chief political analyst gloria borger along with former trump white house official gavin smith. great to have both of you.

let's just start first with donald trump's likely announcement tonight, gavin. if donald trump announces that he's running for president tonight, what do you predict the response from elected republicans will be? because they go back and forth on how they feel about donald trump. and from the general public. >> well, i think it's absolutely laughable, as you guys just highlighted, that they think that this announcement's going to inject anything but enthusiasm into the party because quite frankly it's going to divide the party even further. look, when i worked for donald trump back in 2016, i traveled all around the country with him, and when he closed every rally or fund-raiser he always said that we're going to get so sick and tired of winning that they're just going to ask him to stop. but i think after four years of trump's presidency and two years of absolute chaos since he's left the white house the only thing that people are really getting tired of is donald trump and the losses that he continues to inflict on the republican

party. so i think that brings us to a point where we need to really enter a period of introspection and decide who are we as a party and are our leaders leading us in the right direction? because it's clear donald trump isn't. >> gloria, are you seeing evidence that -- or evidence of some loosening of this grip trump had on elected members of the party that you didn't see after the insurrection or after the 2018 to 2020 losses, that this disappointing finish is doing what those other events could not? >> yeah, i am seeing a lot more loosening. i mean, after january 6th at first a lot of politicians like lindsey graham, for example, said you know, i've had enough. kevin mccarthy himself went to the floor of the house and said donald trump was to blame for the insurrection. and then they both changed their minds and became great supporters of donald trump. now what you're seeing is a party that is afraid they're going to lose in the future. so this is about

self-preservation. this is about self-interest. i mean, you ran a clip with manu of josh hawley, who is somebody who did a fist bump to the insurrectionists on january 6th. and now he's saying we need -- the party's dead, we need new leadership in the party. so there's going to be a lot of reinvention among these republicans who were big supporters of donald trump. it's hard to measure because we haven't heard from the voters yet. we are not quite sure, while his base may be a third of the republican party, who knows? we need to find out how his base is going to react to this and whether they're looking for someone else. and we don't know the answer to that yet. >> gavin smith, gloria borger, it's great to talk to you guys. i'm sorry we don't have much time because we have this breaking news out of poland. >> of course. >> thank you very much for being here. >> and of course we'll have much more on that. the rocket that has reportly landed in poland killing two people, we'll have new details, next.

into these reports. don't have any information to corroborate them at this time. so i don't want to speculate or get into hype thet kalz. when it comes to our security commitments and article 5, we've been crystal clear, that we will defend every inch of nato territory. and when it comes to force protection we always take the safety and security of our troops no matter where they're serving very seriously. and so we're very confident in any force protection measures that we take, whether it be poland or elsewhere. but again, we're not going to get ahead of ourselves here. we're going to get the facts. and when we have more to provide, we will. >> okay. cnn's alex marquardt and kylie atwood joins us now. tell us what you've learned there. >> yeah, well, that is pretty much the extent of what we're learning right now. the pentagon says that they are tracking these reports, though not confirming anything right out of the gates here. though being very clear in saying that the united states stands by article 5, which is an attack on one, attack on one

nato country is an attack on all. and that is the concern here, guys. if these were russian missiles, all we know right now is that these were missiles or rockets that landed in this farm that is along the border of poland and ukraine in polish territories, killing two. and if those were russian, then that is the concern here, that the ukraine war could extrapolate and become something bigger. but we just don't know right now. it's important to note that we're hearing from polish officials that their national security council is meeting right now. and a nato official tells me that essentially they're standing by to learn more what they can from warsaw to then of course follow through and talk to all of those nato allies. >> yeah. alex, to you. and this is a moment that calls for caution and confirmation. all we know, that there are reports of two people killed by these rockets or missiles. we don't know yet who is responsible for them. and we don't know if -- you were getting to this. the question of intent.

if this was intentional. but when you have reportedly two people dead, of course how much does intent matter to polish leaders? two of their citizens potentially killed by these weapons coming in. >> well, to kylie's point, obviously it needs to be confirmed what the source of these missiles or these rockets were. you're absolutely right, victor. everyone is being very cautious here. i just spoke with a european military official who said to me facts first and then the options for reactions later. obviously, we immediately start to think about the question of article 5. as kylie was saying, an attack on one is an attack on all. and that has been reiterated today by the pentagon. it is something that president biden has said repeatedly throughout this war. so right now everyone is waiting for the facts. i've spoken with a number of diplomats and officials here in washington. what is clear is that we are all

watching that national security council meeting that is taking place in poland and waiting for more information from the poles as to what may happen next. they will of course then disseminate that information to the rest of their nato allies. the question of intent is of course so important. there have been so many fears since the beginning of this war that it would spill over into eastern europe, that it would spill over into those nato countries that border ukraine in a way that it would draw in all the other countries in nato and lead to a much larger conflict. that is one of the main reasons that ukraine wasn't being considered for nato membership, that there was a concern that then the rest of nato would of course have to rush to their aid and uphold article 5. but now we are waiting for more information from warsaw. you have to imagine, as i was saying to you earlier, that if these are russian missiles that

landed in poland that the russians will have to be trying to assure poland and the rest of nato that this was not intentional. if this was intentional, then of course that could lead to serious consequences, a much greater conflict and something that has been talked about and feared for quite some time. so right now all the capitals are calling each other. we're trying to get more information out of poland, out of warsaw to really get a sense of whether this was an attack on poland or whether this was accidental spillover violence that we saw in ukraine today. now, remember, we saw some of the biggest bursts of violence from the russians that we've seen in weeks. scores, dozens of missiles being fired all across ukraine. around 85 at last count. and from initial appearances some may have fallen across the

border into poland. so right now waiting for more information. we ourselves of course are trying to gather more information. we have, as kylie was saying, we have only heard from the pentagon so far. we're calling the white house and the intelligence community as well. as we wait for more to come out. alisyn, victor? >> yes. but i mean, kylie, even if it isn't intentional, even if it's just sloppiness, two poles are dead. two polish people are dead. and so surely in poland the military, and i have to assume the pentagon, have planned for this type of hypothetical on some level knowing that there might be sloppiness and something might have crossed over the border. and so do we know what the plan was if something like this were to happen? >> we don't know. and i think your point is exactly correct, though, alisyn. the biden administration, military officials here, very closely with military officials in nato countries, they've been

preparing for a number of circumstances. and of course, you know, one of the major concerns that u.s. and european officials have had is russia using a nuclear weapon. we know that they are preparing for what they would do in response in that instance. so rest assured that they would have to -- at their fingertips right now a whole host of ways that they could respond to what would be perceived as an escalatory, even if it was accidental, situation. >> all right. kylie atwood, alex marquardt, thank you for the reporting. and we'll bring you back as we get more in about this happening in poland. okay. this is also just in to cnn. the man accused of attacking house speaker nancy pelosi's husband has pleaded not guilty to federal charges. we have a live update of what just happened next. it's the subway series menu.

the man accused of attacking nancy pelosi's hispanned, paul, with a hammer at their home just pleaded not guilty to charges of assault and attempted kidnapping. >> cnn's veronica miracle joins us live from outside the courthouse. what happened? >> reporter: victor and alisyn, david depape entered not guilty pleas for both of those federal charges that he's facing. it was a very quick initial court appearance. his public defender said they're not seeking release from custody. so now he heads back to state custody, where he's also facing a slew of charges. now, for those federal charges he's looking at a maximum of 50

years in federal prison, and for those state charges he's looking at 13 years to life. he's also entered not guilty pleas for those felonies. it's been a couple of weeks since he's been accused of breaking into speaker nancy pelosi's home and attacking and injuring her husband, paul pelosi, and since that time we've learned a lot through court documents about his alleged intentions. he told authorities that he was trying to get to speaker nancy pelosi and use her so that he could get to another target on a supposed list that he had. he told authorities that there were other government officials and their family members on this supposed list. and he also said that -- he's quoted as saying he wanted to break speaker pelosi's knees so that she would have to be wheeled in front of congress. and that he wasn't exactly trying to injury paul pelosi but he would go through him if he had to. paul pelosi has since been released from the hospital. he's recovering at home from those very serious injuries including a skull fracture.

and the last time that we saw david depape in court he had a sling. his arm was in a sling from a dislocated shoulder. today when we saw him in his first federal court appearance he did not have a sling. he seems to have recovered from that injury. victor? alisyn? >> okay. veronica miracle, thank you for all those details. georgia's republican governor testifies in front of the special grand jury investigating donald trump's efforts to overturn the state's 2020 election results. the implications there and the other big names before the grand jury this week. next. hello cashback! hello, kevin hart! earn big time with chase freedom unlimited with no annual fee. how do you cashback? chase. make more of what's yours. the first time your sales reached 100k was also the first time you hit this note...

it is a busy week of testimony for the georgia grand jury investigating efforts by trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election results. cnn was the first to report that former white house aide cassidy hutchinson will testify before the panel tomorrow.

>> georgia's republican governor brian kemp testified today after winning re-election, a judge had delayed kemp's testimony until after the midterms. cnn's senior legal analyst elie honig joins us now, a former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. great to see you. why is everything wrapping up this week? because the midterms ended? >> well, alisyn, i think the reason we're seeing things accelerate and expand is, yes, because the midterms are now mostly over. most prosecutors have a general policy not to announce big things or make big public moves before an election. now we're clear of that and i think we're going to see more and more of this kind of reporting, and the department of justice taking aggressive oversteps to advance their investigations. >> senator lindsey graham took his attempt to block the subpoena from this special grand jury all the way up to the supreme court, lost there. he will testify in the next couple of days but there are some limitations on the scope of questions that he'll be required to answer. explain those. >> right, so senator graham has

only very partial protection from having to answer questions under what's called the speech is and debate clause in the constitution. that says that a sitting member of congress like lindsey graham does not have to answer questions about his legislative activities. that's what the courts found. now what's legislative? well, the court said it's definitely not anything you did politically with the trump campaign, it's definitely not your public statements and it's definitely not any pressure that you put on state or local officials. i think that's where prosecutors are going to focus their questions, and lindsey graham will have to answer those questions. >> so elie, as your know the january 6th committee subpoenaed donald trump for documents he's now suing them to avoid having to testify and the clock is going to run out fairly soon. so what recourse do they have, and is he just going to be able to run out the clock? >> yeah, donald trump is playing the delay game hear, and he's going to win in large part because the january 6th committee waited so long until last month to issue the

subpoena. they could have rkd issued the subpoena six months ago, a year ago, now here we are, we're 50 days out from a new congress taking over. there's no way this case gets all the way through the district court, the court of appeals and potentially the supreme court in that time. so trump has an easy obvious mauve here. he's going to go to courts. he has gone to the courts. he's going to delay, and there's no way this gets resolved by january 3rd, 2023. >> all right, elie honig, thank you. we continue to follow breaking news out of poland where a rocket has reportedly landed killing two people. we have all of the latest details ahead. can a button work wonders in the bedroom? no, no! not the fun button, the other button. sorry. marcia has sle apnea and her struggles with cpap had me sleeping in the guest room. noshe's got inspire. it's a sleep apnea treatment that works inside her body with the click of remote.
