"outfront" next, russians

fighting russians as the head of the private military group wagner says the kremlin will no longer take his calls. russia filed a barrage of hypersonic missiles across the country. the new york times reporting the manhattan district attorney is signaling charges against trump are likely. and the coe of fox ko corporation breaking his silence as we go inside the relationship between rupert murdoch and donald trump. o "outfront" tonight, russian versus russian. putin refusing to help the private army, the wagner group, that's according to the chief of wagner tonight claiming the kremlin will not take his calls anymore. >> translator: to get me to stop asking for ammunition, all the hot lines to offices, to departments, et cetera, have been cut off from me.

they've also blocked agencies from making decisions. >> it's pretty incredible, and it could be significant because the wagner group of course is responsible for the small successes putin has notched in this war. the u.n. estimates at the start of this year, there were about 50,000 wagner groups fighting. but they have been pleading, pounding the table, for more ammunition almost daily. in fact, here they are over just the past few days. >> translator: i'm knocking on all doors, sounding the alarm with ammunition and reenforcements as well as covering our flanks. >> translator: we are the artillery unit. every day we cover assault groups, at the moment, we are completely cut off from the ammunition supply. >> completely cut off. this is all in just the past few days. tonight, that big admission that

nobody seems to care. no one is listening. because it does seem clear if putin wanted wagner to remain a priority, things would be different. wouldn't be cut off from all the phones. putin's regular military has been complaining that too much has gone to wagner fighters until now. here's a russian soldier. >> translator: now all the ammunition is going to wagner pmc units who can fire a week's worth of ammunition in a day, which we can't afford. >> so now, you hear it. russian versus russian in a battle for ammunition. and it is a remarkable turn of events, especially given that right now, it is wagner's flag flying in eastern kakhmut, not russia's. but the ammunition shortage may explain why putin started something suddenly today, launching what's been described as one of his biggest air assaults in months.

this is almost like a firework there going up in the sky. 34 missiles were launched overnight according to ukraine. ukraine intercepted only 34. at least 11 people have been killed. it hit a lot of infrastructure. power was knocked out in several areas. tonight, ukraine is bracing for another attack. tonight, we're learning the united states and its allies have now blocked or seized more than $58 billion from russian oligarchs. that's a huge number, but it is not a lot relative to how much they have. to really squeeze the putin insiders, there's much more money out there. according to forbes, they have 83 billion. and their collective worth, again, not counting the uncollected of putin. according to forbes was about $320 billion.

alex, with that missile assault across the country that you heard and saw yourself, what is the latest on the ground there? >> reporter: well, erin, here where we are in the lviv region where we saw the highest death toll, five people killed, and we are hearing tonight from president zelenskyy speaking about the power outages that have resulted in the wake of this strike, particularly around the power plant which has been occupied by russian forces and maintained by ukrainian staffers. it's the biggest power plant in europe, and it went on to its emergency backup generators. zelenskyy accusing them of creating such physical situations at our nuclear facilities as to what russia calls a massive retaliation strike. fire fighters frantically looking for survivors as others clear the debris from an overnight missile strike in

ukraine's lviv renal. falling fragments started a fire that destroyed at least three residential buildings and left at least five people dead. according to local authorities, the residents were at home. the victims of russia's latest terrorizing country wide missile and drone attacks far from the front lines. this is horrible. i don't know what to say, this man said, calling russians the devil. all across ukraine, 84 missiles were fired and eight drones launched at ten different regions from lviv in the west to the south all the way to donetsk in the east. the capital of kyiv, at least three people were injured. these cars burned out from more burning fragments. for the first time, ukraine was bombarded with many different types of missiles, according to a spokesman for the air force. it was a range of cruise missiles launched from the air and area, including six

hypersonic missiles as well as guided missiles. all told at least 11 ukrainians were killed and more than 20 wounded. on facebook, president zelenskyy calls russia's strikes an attempt to intimidate ukrainians again, returning to their miserable tactics, the occupiers can only terrorize. that's all they can do, but it won't help them. ukrainian officials describe the wave of attacks as yet another strike on the country's critical infras infrastructure. power was affected, and the power plant had to switch to diesel generators. 34 missiles and half the drones were shot down, but several of the types of russian missiles fired can't be taken down with ukraine's current air defenses, which the biden administration says they're working to bolster. >> certainly you see there is a real air defense need, and that's why we're trying to focus on the kinds of air defense capabilities that the ukrainians

really could use to help knock down some of these missiles, and they were successful in knocking down quite a few of these from last night. >> reporter: russia quickly claimed responsibility, calling the strikes massive retaliation for an alleged cross border attack in russia last week by a pro-ukraine group. two russians were killed, they said, but cnn has not confirmed the events, which putin called a terrorist attack. and tonight, ukraine's energy minister says they are working to restore power fully. he says they are making good progress. he praised the energy workers. the power is restored in kyiv, but 1/3 of the homes are without heat. of course, it's very cold here in ukraine in march. this was, according to the same minister, the 15th major strike against ukraine's energy infrastructure, and he noted the

new tactics we saw from russia today, a combination of different kinds of missiles, cruise, hypersonic, combined with drones to carry out these devastating strikes all across the country. >> thank you very much. i want to go now to fred in moscow. fred, you know, look, you've had these big missile attacks before, but this was among the biggest and a lot of missiles they haven't used in quite some time. what is russia saying about it? >> reporter: yeah, a lot they haven't used in a while or much before in this war. i think it's important to note the russians are calling it a retaliatory massive precision strike, and they claim they struck all the targets they wanted to hit. they basically are saying they only hit military areas, talking about the military industrial complex of ukraine. they also talk about military infrastructure, they even ka you

will the critical infrastructure, like power plants, they call that militarily important as well as far as the things that they've struck. so that's what the russians are trying to convey out there. they're also confirming this was retaliation for that cross border attack that alex was talking about. that was carried out by a group called the russian volunteer core, which is russians fighting on the side of ukraine. ukrainians are saying they don't control these people. russians not buying that at all. i think the main thing the russians -- and we have been hearing this throughout the course of today -- the main thing they're pointing out is the use of the hypersonic missiles. they have been used in a quantity we haven't seen before. six of them that can go up to ten times the speed of sound. it's not just ukrainian air defenses that we have a tough time intercepting these, any air defense we would have a tough time intercepting these. >> thank you very much. >> i want to go now to the top

democrat, congressman jim hines. a quantity we haven't seen before, types we haven't seen them use before of missiles, and in particular, these hypersonic missiles. ukraine says six of them were fired. they go ten times the speed of sound. ukraine doesn't have air defense systems that can take them out. are you -- do you know what's going on here? do you think russia's increasing its capability or supply that would allow them to use so many of these in one night? >> well, erin, there's no evidence that they're increasing their supply. in fact, it's going to be their supply of the high-end equipment that goes first. certainly, these advanced missiles are high-end equipment. advanced tanks are now gone so they're using t 72 and t-60

tanks that are 40 years old. using these weapons is probably a one off. big picture. number one, it's a war crime. number two, it's counterproductive. since the 1940s when hitler tried to break the back of british people, what these sorts of attacks have done is steeled the spines of the defenders. war crime, counterproductive, and we need to give the ukrainians the technology they need to continue to stop these attacks. >> so on that front about the technology, obviously i know you have supported sending more supplies and defense and weapons to ukraine. where do you stand on f-16s? >> well, big picture here. the ukrainians are going to win this war. they are going to push the russians back to the original borders that putin violated. the west is going to hang there with the ukrainians until it happens. the question is how fast does

that happen? we waited to send tanks and then we sent tanks. my view would be let's defer to the people dying in this conflict, and if they say they need f-16s, let's give it to them. let's not second guess the people fighting and dying. >> obviously they're saying they can do it in a few months. i understand there are many in the u.s. military that agree with that. but i want to ask you one other thing. you said you support pushing back. they're going to push back to the borders. does that include crimea? >> that's always the question i get. there's no question in my mind that putin thinks about crimea differently than he thinks about luhansk and donetsk. that causes putin to realize he's at very real risk of losing

this war in a big way and then we have a negotiation that hopefully ends this war. >> so we find out that china's building its largest embassy in the bahamas, and there's real concern about the possible invasion of taiwan. the kmacommanding general of th u.s. army pacific says you don't build this up to protect. there's clearly another aim. we heard today from the cia director that president xi has instructed his army to be ready to invade taiwan within the next two years. >> nobody has watched more intently vladimir putin's experience in ukraine than xi jinping has. and i think he's been sobered to some extent. >> do you agree with that? has he been sobered -- and i understand that dr. burns is giving his view. but the actions we see, that embassy in the bahamas and

others, they don't look so sober. >> i do think he has. the chinese are not stupid. they understand that if a russian military that has a lot of the same equipment they have and combat experience that the chinese does not have. if the russian military can't even take a town 100 miles across land, an amphibious invasion with nonveteran troops of a well-defended taiwan could be a lot more daunting. xi has dedicated 100% to reunification. i think the director is right, he does not want a war right now because of the devastation on his country. but at some point, the only way to reunify is to undertake an invasion. and the question is have we given the west to deter that decision. >> all right. i appreciate your time as always. thank you. >> thank you, erin. next, the breaking news the new york times reporting the

prosecutors are signaling criminal charges for the former president trump are likely. he's already told he could appear before a manhattan grand jury next week. plus, we're learning the senator majority leader mitch mcconnell will remain hospitalized after suffering a concussion after a fall. we have the latest on his health. and nikki haley with a plan, she says, to save social security. >> the first thing you do is change the retirement age of the young people coming up. >> will that fly with voters? ♪ experience the exhilaration of the performance line expeat the invitation toion lexus sales event. must finally hold social media companies accountable.

sent was an indictment may be imminent. they -- we know that a number of witnesses have gone before this grand injury, and it appears they've run out of witnesses. very few other people they could bring before the grand jury, so a decision appears to be in the offing, and all signals are that they're ready to bring a case against the former president, and as you said, this centers around this $130,000 hush money payment that was made to stormy daniels before the 2016 election, and the key witness that they would be relying on for this case under new york state law is michael cohen. michael cohen is of course the former fixer of the former president who in 2018 admitted to lying to congress and was

convicted. the idea that you're going to bring a case with michael cohen as your star witness does raise some tough questions for the manhattan da. >> i want to bring in laura coates to the conversation. a couple of basics here. do you have any doubt about what this mean sns? does it mean an indictment is almost certain for trump? >> the idea of calling up a before the grand jury is odd. there would be no incentive for the defendant to come and speak. we know the adage, anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. the grand courtroom is as close as you can get to something being used against you in a court of law. the decision to invite hem to testify would raise questions about whether he would take the fifth amendment. having said that, the idea of running out of witnesses, one would have to exhaust all

potential other witnesses in order to be able to figure out and determine whatever he might testify to could be called out as a lie. there are questions about what the end game would be here. >> and i know the kind of conversations we're having is trump was offered the chance. that's a nonstarter and won't happen. sit a ridiculous non-starter? >> it's like offering somebody enough rope to range themselves. you're inviting someone to come and talk and know that every question is loaded and going to possibly have an eye towards your own conviction. remember, michael cohen is somebody who did serve time in connection with this. he mentioned this was about hush money payments prior to 2016 that were known about. the idea of the why now? the manhattan da has come under a lot of political fire for his decision to reorient the office about the investigations that

might be looming. the idea of why now, what had been newly learned to have this be the primary case that is first priority now. >> which is fascinating. so michael cohen who as you say is kind of the center of this in the war we're talking about. the hush money was done on trump's behest, which is very crucial, and trump has actually denied this. here he is. >> did you know about the $130,000 payment to stormy daniels? >> no. no. >> why did michael cohen pay this if it wasn't -- >> you would have to ask michael cohen. michael is an attorney, and you'll have to ask michael cohen. >> do you know where he got the money to make that payment? >> i don't know, no. >> so to get to the point where they would indict a former president over a $130,000 push

money payment, what evidence do you think they have at this point to say at this point we're going to do it? >> that's one of the big questions i think a lot of us have. this is something that you know, erin, the federal prosecutors looked at, one of the issues that they came -- that they had trouble with was the idea that who are you going to use as your main witness here. and it's going to be michael cohen's word versus trump's word. we do know obviously according to cohen that the hush money payments were reimburse to him, and so there is a trail of money. there is money that prosecutors will be able to show. and perhaps you can get witnesses who can say, well, trump never pace anything unless he knows what it's for, right. he's known to be very tight-fisted with his money. again, these are things you can, i guess, bring in a circumstantial case and with michael cohen's testimony,

programs you can persuade a jury of the crime here. but, again, this is, you know, again, it's a novel theory under new york state law that looks at essential falsified business records and uses the idea that, you know, it was used for a campaign finance violation. >> so, you know, i guess, laura, one of the questions here, you have the fullton county investigation, decision imminent there over his attempts to overturn the election in georgia. you have the special council grand jury, the handling classified documents, and now you have this. there's the legal side of this and the political side. if you're the special counsel looking at this, are you saying, it's good this might come first, or are you saying this weaken my hand if it comes first? >> the idea is to try to avoid any type of inappropriatety that

there is some -- that of course the president of the united states. so having that separation actually does well to get the credibility and integrity of the independence. also, though, remember state legislative investigations, they're not under the direction and the rule of thumb under the attorney general of the united states of america. therefore, whatever decision they make is going to be independent. so if you're stepping back and saying, look, i want to make sure no one views this as political tied to the person who appointed me, of course you want to have a state investigation. but anything that happens there will be used as a talking point by the person who could be the defendant against all of them. >> often when you have state and federal investigations, feds -- the feds often ask the states to hold off because they want to go first, right. it often happens that they would prefer for a state prosecution to not get in the way. obviously because of the special

counsel system we have right now, it's unclear, and it's unlikely that they're going the try to tell the new york da to hold off. they just wouldn't do that. it's going to be a very odd situation for the next few months. >> it certainly is, and plenty of political foughter for all. next, mitch mcconnell being treated for a concussion at a hospital after tripping and falling last night. >> how concerned are you? >> very. very. and nikki haley calling to change the retirement age for sosocial skecurity. so how will that g go over with voters?

the hospital tonight and being treated for a concussion. >> he's a little beat up, but he's doing all right. >> reporter: the 81-year-old tripped and fell at a washington hotel and will remain hospitalized for at least the next few days. >> how concerned are you? >> very. very. >> reporter: sources tell cnn mcconnell was speaking at an event hosted by his superpack at the hotel. at 9:00 p.m. on wednesday, first responders dispatched after he fell and hit his head. >> knowing him, i'm sure he's watching c-span. >> reporter: in 2020, he was seen with bruises and bandages on his hands, though head said there were no concerns. in 2019, he fell in his kentucky home and fractured his shoulder. diagnosed with polio, doctors never thought he would be able

to walk. as the longest serving party leader in senate history, mcconnell serves in a body often filled with absences, given that many have had health issues where the median age is 65. nearly 2/3 of senators are in their 60s and 70s, and four of them in their 80s. 89-year-old diane feinstein now recovering at home after being diagnosed with shingles. grassley getting a hip replacement in january after a fall at his home. >> there's some advantages to having gray hair and life experience, but things start happening as you get older. you lose your balance, get sick more regularly, and growing old can be pretty rough. >> reporter: even some younger senators have their own health scares. 53-year-old john fetterman who suffered a stroke during his campaign last year still

hospitalized after checking himself in last month for treatment for clinical depression. >> we're postponing things. we've had members who have gone for weeks and months at a time. it's just the nature of this organization. >> reporter: mcconnell is not the first party leader to be hospitalized in recent years. in 2015, senate democratic leader harry reid was badly injured while exercising. do you think you'll be able to see again? >> no. but in life, you don't always get what you want. >> reporter: senator mcconnell's office has not yet said when he will return to the senate, but mitch romney came out and told me afterwards he expects him to return next week. the question for mcconnell will be whether or not this incident impacts his plans to stay in office and for how long. he had told me last fall, he does plan to serve throughout the end of this term, which ends

the end of 2026. has that calculation changed, and will he try to stay as help leader again, and mcconnell has not said yet whether he will do that. >> thank you very much. out front now, doctor, i really appreciate your time. to start here so everyone can understand possibly what we're looking at. is it typical to keep somebody in the hospital for a few days after a concussion? >> i don't feel it's very typical. normally they enter an emergency room and get evaluated and scans for stability. as long as there's no bleed on the ct scan, we assess them for a few hours and let them go. in this case, when someone's older, we have to keep a closer eye. >> what would they be observing if you're staying in for a few days? running egs or what are they

doing? >> i think mental status is a huge one. things can change very rapidly for someone after a head injury, especially when they're a little older and perhaps on multiple pharmaceutical medications, and also if they have heart issues, we want to make sure it's not the heart that was problematic and caused them to lose their balance and fall and now sustain a head injury. >> you just referenced something talking about things can change quickly. when you're older, you know, is a concussion possibly more likely depending on the situation to impact your mental abilities? >> i would say absolutely. you are already a little bit slower sometimes, not always. i have very sharp patients that are geriatrics. but you are at an increased risk,let say as an older patient after a fall for mental

confusion or problems with speech. so we want to always make sure that they're at their baseline before we say that they're cleared to go back to work or play for athletes. >> so what you're saying is -- there's a lot of questions, right. but it would seem when you have a history of health conditions like senator mcconnell does like the bruised hands, fractured shoulder, polio when he was 2 years old, health history can matter when you have a concussion. >> i would say absolutely. your functional status, we always say is baseline status, how healthy you are prior to having a head injury determines how fast you're going to recover. >> thank you very much. i appreciate it and appreciate the perspective. next, republican presidential candidate nikki haley calling for changing the retirement age to save social security. plus dominion taking on fox

tonight, nikki haley, who is running for president, is pushing to raise the retirement age for americans in their 20s as part of a bigger plan to overhaul social security. >> social security is going to go bankrupt in ten years. we need to fix it. how do we fix it? you focus on the new generation. you focus on what's next. so the first thing you do is change the retirement age of the young people coming up so we can try and have some sort of system for them. the second thing is you go and limit the benefits for wealthy people. >> all right. harry is out front. harry, it's a third rail topic, and yet it is a topic that can't be avoided for much longer when you look at where we are. so this issue of raising the retirement age, it's not the first time it's come up because it's -- putting all politics aside -- the most obvious thing

that could be done. how to americans feel about it? >> we danced to this song during the bush administration, there was a republican senate plan. chris christy brought it up back in 2016, and all those points, there were different polls that asked should we in fact reduce retirement benefits, social security benefits for future retirees, and in all those points, the opposition was huge, 2/3 or 74 or 75%. this is a third rail. you understand what she's doing. also the political part of me trying to be a strategist doesn't understand what she's doing. >> right. i mean, there's math and then there's politics. they often don't meet. that's why we have $31 trillion in debt. that's not even related to this issue. on this issue of social security, though, and this is where the politics come in. which party do the public trust

more? >> democrats are rubbing their hands together when they hear nikki haley saying this. at this point, democrats are much more trusted than republicans on the issue of social security. this is the ground democrats want to be playing on. they had a 16 point advantage of who do you think does a better job on social security, and that was just last month. democrats are loving this. >> they are. but her views on social security, and again whether she's being realistic or not is not the point. what she's putting out there is very different than the view of her rival, president trump for the gop. here he is just this weekend. >> we're not going back to people that want to destroy our great social security system. even some in our own party. i wonder who that might be. that want to raise the minimum age of social security to 70,

75, or even 80 in some cases. >> when you drill down into the gop specifically, is he getting this one right or not? >> i think he is. i think he knows exactly who his base is, lower income voters who are the most likely to want it to be there when they get older. more than that, the republican party has changed. they asked do you believe we're spending too little on social security. what happened on n 1984 when ronald reagan was running, only 32% believed it. in 2021, 57%. he's much more in line with where the public is now. the party has changed. >> it has. but they have made changes. the age everyone was holding to at that time was a lot higher than it used to be. thanks, harry. next, rupert murdoch's son who is the ceo of fox corporation tonight breaking the

new tonight, rupert murdaugh's son loughlin speaking about dominion's defamation lawsuit against fox news. >> the news organization has an obligation and it is an obligation to report news fulsomely, wholesomely, and without fear or favor. and that's what fox news has always done and that's what fox news will always do. and i think a lot of the noise that you hear about this case is actually not about the law and it's not about the journism is really about the politics, right? >> those comments despite numerous court filings that revealed fox repeatedly put ratings over truth by pushing team trump's lies that dominion changed votes to steal the election and how far rupert murdoch himself went to help trump win the election. tom foreman is out front.

>> reporter: rupert murdoch saying under oath in the dominion voting systems case he never believed domippian voting systems cheated president trump out of re-election, calling such claims damaging, saying hosts ophis news network maybe went too far promoting election denialism. the former president is hitting pack. how does rupert murdoch say there was no election fraud? and political analysts are asking how did it come to this? >> it's really astounding. and it is sort of an implosion of the highest order between the most important figure in conservative media if not all of media and the man who would be once again if he has his way president again in 2025. >> to introduce the commander in chief and the president of the united states, my friend donald j. trump. >> make america great -- >> reporter: the media mogul and real estate tycoon were tight even just a few years ago.

>> thank you to my very good friend, rupert murdoch. >> reporter: especially as trump's political stardom was rising and while he held the white house. >> mr. president, thank you so much. >> reporter: murdoch's outlets covered it extensively and the president gave them access beyond other news organizations. >> good to see you, sir. >> thank you both very much. we never had a more beautiful set than this, did we? >> reporter: but then trump lost to joe biden, january 6th erupted, the mid-terms went less well than expected for republicans, and murdoch's media empire which once seemed to revolve around trump hinted at a new center of gravity. >> all right, he's the man everyone's talking about, florida governor ron desantis. >> reporter: in the dominion case filings murdoch star tucker carlson quoted from an internal message we are very, very close to being able to ignore trump most nights. i truly can't wait. team trump is pushing back. >> okay, murdoch, here's the way

it's going to be, brother. you've disrespected donald j. trump long enough. but. >> but all the revelations on the dominion case appear to be hard on the fringes. murdoch has been very pointed at trump at times before he became a very serious candidate. at one point he said why do you keep embarrassing yourself and the whole country. >> the question here, tom, is this a relationship irreparable or not. >> that is a great question. jim routenberg from "the new york times" said, look, they've been through these seat changes several times where they get at each others throat and become pals again. he thinks they're actually friends and says there's no reason to believe they might not be able to patch things up especially if donald trump's star is ascending once more. >> pretty amazing. thank you very much. and next a mexican cartel

and finally tonight, the mexican cartel suspected of kidnapping four american tourists and killing two trying to escape blame. the group writing a letter which was obtained by cnn. and it reads in part, the gulf cartel scorpion group strongly condemns the events of last friday. for this reason we decided to hand over those directly involved and responsible for the acts who at times acted under their own determination and discipline and against the rules the cartel operates. the cartel released a photo which shows five men lying face down restrained. an official that confirms the letter tells cnn mexican and law enforcement officials strongly doubt the sinterity of the

group's explanation. instead the official said it was probably issued because all this attention is now on the cartel, right? they're worried about what could happen to them. it all comes as the bodies of the two americans that were killed in last week's horrible attack were seen leaving a mexican morgue and heading towards a u.s. border where of course the investigation is ongoing and so many questions what this will mean for this cartel, whether there will be an extradition or crack down or what. it's an unprecedented moment and there are a lot of questions about what will be done. thanks very hutch for joining us. we appreciate the time. in the meantime ac 360 begins right now. good evening. we begin tonight with breaking news. donald trump may be just a short time away from becoming the first former president ever to be criminally indicted.
