9:04 pm
only able to shoot down about a quarter of the cruise missiles russia fired, kyiv says. putin's military using some of its heaviest naval missiles, designed to destroy warships, and even aircraft carriers. >> there is no possibility to shoot them down, because we understand what kind of missiles they, are how fast they fly, and their trajectory, the spokesman for the air force says. >> ukraine says it needs more, and better, air defense capabilities from the u.s. and its allies, where the authorities here will be able to do little more than try to save victims from the rubble, after the attacks. -- cnn, berlin. >> alex marquardt has been odessa all, weeks and joins us now. alex, you witnessed airstrikes hitting the city for the past three nights, what are you seeing here tonight? >> anderson, this is a city that is anxiously awaiting to see what happens tonight, whether russia has a fourth night of brutal attacks in store for it. these have been, over the past three nights, the worst attacks
9:05 pm
that the city has seen, since this war began. some 70 missiles, over the past four days. president zelenskyy said tonight, and 90 of those iranian-made shahed drones, have been fired at southern ukraine. in the past 24 hours, there are three people, killed two in the city of -- one here in odessa. anderson, for the past three nights, when i've been on with, you we have been in the throes of those strikes by russia. and, they have happened relatively like clockwork. you know, right on cuckoo around 2:00 in the, morning and continuing for an hour and a half, for almost two hours. tonight, it is relatively quiet. it is an uneasy quiet, given
9:06 pm
what we know about what is happening over the past three nights. you have a sense that the residents are bracing, they are waiting to see what will happen. but for right, now there is no indication that anything is happening. there is a robust, advanced warning system here in ukraine. we often get a sense of what might be heading this way. right now, we don't have any indication that anything is being fired at the city. why russia might be, essentially, taking a night off, and not attacking odessa? maybe they feel like they have made their point. they have also expanded a huge amount of very expensive missiles, over the past few. days we know that russia is running low on precision guided munitions. now, russia has said contra to the russian -- did ukrainian claim, they have been striking odessa because it is a retallack retaliation for the ukrainian strike against the kurdish bridge. that bridge that is connected
9:07 pm
to crimea back on monday. but, so russia is saying they are attacking odessa because those see drones were based here, and went out and attack that bridge. so what russia still has planned, whether that retaliation will continue. that we are wait to see, anderson. >> alex -- thanks very much. we're take you back, right here in the u.s.. and the special counsel's investigation into the former presidents to overturn the 2020 election. we are learning tonight that more witnesses may return -- which your testimony today from two people. the last time mr. trump was indicted, he it was 20 days after he received his target letter from the special counsel 's office. it has been for days now since his -- former assistant u.s. attorney, and anchor of the source at nine pm, kaitlan collins. caitlin, do we know who testified before the grand jury today? >> the most important person, even though he's not really a
9:08 pm
household name, is will russell. he was someone who was kind of a body man, personal aide to trump inside the white house, and followed him to mar-a-lago after he left the white house. importantly, he was there at january six. he was at the ellipse with trump. i mean, there is a ton of videos of him always by trump's side, or kind of in the background. what's notable is that, this is his third appearance before the grand jury. and, that's even baffling, to some of the trump attorneys, of why he is going so many times. one really interesting thing happened today, and this just speaks to the complexity of this case, and also just how intertwined all of this is. all of this is happening in a courthouse in washington. and, will russell is before the grand jury. his attorney is this guy, stan woodward, who was also
9:09 pm
representing other people, walt nauta, trump's codefendant. he was late to a hearing, a verdict reading for someone, a rioter at january 6th. he got in trouble from the judge, because he was late to. that he had to tell the judges, who because he was dealing with executive privilege issues, for will russell over here, as he is testifying in front of the grand jury that is hearing evidence on this. >> so is this guy russell, getting his attorney paid for by a political axe action community -- >> stand woodward's firm is paid for by, yeah, the legal path that trump has that is paying the legal fees of these people. he is being paid of course through walt nauta as well, and we believe will russell too. >> do we know how much longer the special counsel's office is expected to be calling witnesses? >> they still seem to have
9:10 pm
several more to go. i mean, obviously we'll russell with today. we do believe someone else is going next week. we know, bernie kerik, the former former new york city police commissioner, still trying to have a time to go. i don't think that last part really affects what happens with whether or not we see indictments. bernie kerik isn't seen as a major player in this. but it is still notable, they are still very much investigating. >> and ali, you and i have talked about this before. there could be an indictment, and witnesses could still be testifying. >> absolutely, even if there are grand jury proceeding schedule before, august this indictment could still drop at anytime. and here is why. by the book as a prosecutor, once you indict a case, you are
9:11 pm
social stop using the grand jury, but only asked for the four corners of that indictment, only as to the specific person even, under the specific crimes you've indicted. but if you are investigating other crimes, or other people, you absolutely have to carry on. you know the prosecutors always say the investigation is ongoing, we say that all the time. this is why, because you always have an ongoing investigation. this and i've come at any moment. >> why would a witness be brought back before the grand jury's? >> a lot of different reasons, but sometimes full and accurate testimony, expected loyal to the person that testifying in, against like pulling teeth. you don't get all in the first time. it's a process, sometimes maybe, you've learned new information since the first and second time they've come in, and you want to confront the witness with that. and sometimes, it's just a scheduling issue. so, it is unusual to bring someone back three times. it does tell me the prosecutors value this testimony. you wouldn't bother with a first time, unless you really valued this testimony. >> and you are saying, he was there with the former president,
9:12 pm
on january 6th at the ellipse, at that rally. so, theoretically, he can testify to the mindset of the former president, he could even verify things that he had said. >> he can testify to things like that. remember, he was learned when he testified before the congressional committee, top of how trump has said to remove the magnetometers, just let everybody, and who cares, they're not trying to hurt me. if they did have weapons, which obviously is with the -- will russell, we are told was there. i mean, there is video of this tent that was backstage, before trump got on stage and gave his famous speech. and will russell is seen in. and so, he certainly was around. i mean, we don't know the extent of what he heard. but the idea that his attorney was complaining before this other, judge that he believed they were essentially breaching executive privilege issues, shows they were obviously trying to ask about questions, or conversations he had with trump. >> and that tells me, exactly, that they are trying to get those conversations. and i should note, donald trump
9:13 pm
has challenged a lot of testimony on executive privilege. i think his batting average is, zero, zero, zero. he has lost every single executive privilege argue that he's brought. and i'm sure, this one. and also to kaitlan's point, sometimes the boldface names aren't the most important witnesses. we are very focused, understandably, on mark meadows, rudy giuliani, one of these folks -- but catching coffee hutchinson was unknown until she still a year ago in congress. and it turns, out she had really important testimony. so, we shouldn't discount someone, just because they were promised a low ranking aid or a bystander. sometimes, they have the most valuable testimony. >> i mean, when you're on the face of, of the former presidents political action committee may be paying the salary of the attorney representing the sky. that seems, like well, how full of a testimony is he getting? is that fair >> i'm glad this is coming out in this case. because this is a very common practice. it's not inherently illegal. it happens all the time, corporate cases, a lot of times the ceo of the corporation pace for everyone. mob cases, like i used to do, the boss and pay for everybody, for exactly this reason. absolutely though, what it does mora, has who >> kaitlan collins, -- elie honig. thank you, you can see caitlin top of the hour at the source. still to come tonight, another day of capitol hill chaos. democrats grilling robert f. kennedy junior but his profitable vaccines, after republicans identify -- - excuse me? >> that is a question yes or no. >> i did not hear question. >> i said do you think it was just as hard to wear a mask during covid, as it was to hide under floorboards or false walls, so you were not murdered or track to the concentration camp. >> of course not. that is ridiculous. >> that is a comparison you made. >> there is video.

on wednesday, it was a hunter biden probe that appears to the little to advance their claims. today's topic was alleged government censorship, and a future testament from robert f. kennedy junior, turned into a heated fact check over claims he has made over vaccines. brian todd has more. >> democratic presidential candidate robert f. kennedy junior today issued several questionable defenses of his own conspiratorial claims. claiming, the biden administration has been trying to silence, him telling a house panel, this is about his campaign against vaccines. >> i have never met any vaccine, but everybody in this room probably believe that i have been. that is the propelling narrative. >> an assertion that is false. >> this is one of america's most oppressive vocal prominent anti-vaxxers, and has been four years. i'm sure people have heard him for years asserting a link between childhood vaccination, and autism even though there is no such link, and it does not even stop. there he has in recent public remarks claimed -- in 19, 18 and caused by vaccine

9:24 pm
used to test run every conspiracy theory that's going to be used in the 2024 presidential race. so, having an individual who they believe is going to hurt president biden, it's something that they're going to amplify and elevate. we gave information that this individual, there's a super pac, associated with him. that is the same super pac organizers who have been the super pac for marjorie taylor greene, george santos, and the failed campaign of herschel walker. so, he is pushing issues that are going to support the republican party. what's even more frightening, their whole notion that social media companies, which are private companies, private platforms, that are open to public use, should not be checked, should not be looked at. should not be information should not be looked at them. it has a chilling effect on the social media companies. and we know in the run up to 2020, four elections, that russian trolls, the chinese, the iranians, are going to be trying to push voter disinformation. trying to suppress the american people from voting. >> -- appreciate. time >> >> thank you. >> coming,

9:31 pm
political report says the speaker mccarthy made the deal, in this part of the moment. and is now put him in something of a bind. he did some moderate house republicans don't want to re-litigate the impeachments, but then speaker mccarthy is loathe to upset the former president, and his supporters in the house, as they push to remove him. there is, that as well as the question in the house, even as the constitutional authority to expunge any presidents impeachment. we should also note, speaker mccarthy denies making the promise to the former president. joining me now, former republican congressman, joe walsh, and cnn chief political correspondent, dana bash. dana, what is this all situation say about the hold the former presidents appears to have over the speaker of the house right now? >> it's tight. it's very tight. that has been the case for sometime. especially since
9:32 pm
january, when kevin mccarthy had to go through so many 15 rounds of votes, in order to get the speakership. he was very much helped by donald trump. whom he calls and got some of the last holdouts in the conference to relent. into vote for kevin mccarthy. the idea that whether there was a promise for, not whether this was even entertained says a lot. because you put the question out there, whether not achieve anything to expunge any impeachment. it's not a thing. it's not a thing at all. it's not possible. it's possible to have a vote to express the sentiment of the house of representatives, it won't change the fact. -- >> there's not a giant pan with a big factor that will expunge the record? >> no. you know, oddly, even though the former president would, i'm sure want to make that, so there is no reality in which that exists. >> congressman, you are kevin mccarthy, when you are in the house, is just another example of how far he's willing to go to appease the former president? >> yes. anderson, let me just
9:33 pm
scream, it's not a thing! expungement is not a thing! you're exactly right. look, no tears for kevin mccarthy, anderson. this is exactly what he asked for when he sold his soul to donald trump after january 6th. and as dana said, when kevin mccarthy sold every inch of his body to the maga wing of his party, to become speaker. kevin mccarthy has no core, anderson. all he wants to do is be speaker. but here's the problem, he created this monster. trump is a monster, his maga wing, it's most of his caucus's mega, they're going to continue this. i have no doubt, anderson, mccarthy probably privately promised to expunge trumps impeachments. and i have no doubt that trump did not understand that it wasn't a thing, but mccarthy probably did it. and now kevin mccarthy isn't so much trouble, anderson, he's going to probably have to publicly endorse trump. >> dana, do you think he'll do that? >> who knows. it is possible. look, the fact that he dared to speak the truth back in that cnbc interview that he referred to, anderson, where he said that he wasn't sure that donald trump would be the strongest republican candidate against
9:34 pm
joe biden, as soon as he said that, it was pretty clear, he was gonna get an earful from the former president. now, the reporting is that exactly what happened. it would not be a surprise at all if he formally endorsed the former president, although, tradition is that tends to not happen. but i think, tradition is out the window at this point. >> congressman, how long do you think kevin mccarthy can last interposition? >> anderson, i think he'll last all two years. i think, again, he'll give away everything he's got to remain speaker. dane is right. forget about tradition, he will forced to get on his knees and pay homage again to trump and probably endorse him. it's going to upset the moderates, the expungement, endorsing trump is going to upset the moderates in his caucus. anderson, there are more trump supporters and maga members in that caucus then moderates. and mccarthy has to do what they tell him to do to become speaker. and that's what he'll
9:35 pm
do. >> former congressman joe walsh, appreciate it, dana bash, anderson i just quickly say. notice really quickly, politically, it's probably easier for him to endorse that to have the moderates in his conference. take a very, very tough. >> yes, coming up next, appreciate, a sources saying >> you make of next, that what a source is saying about the accused beach cereal, killer committed at the three, murkowski has been charged with and has long island home where he shared with his wife. why the investigation has widened to at least three other locations around the country. eryone else did at the time. i hired local talent.
