>> carley: we are learning john durham investigation into the origin of the russia probe is accelerating behind closed doors. top republicans call the findings on clinton campaign bigger than watergate. you are watching "fox and friends first." i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: i'm todd piro. the biden administration remain silent, but legal team is speaking out. we will bring you details in a few minutes. first, the white house says window for diplomacy in ukraine remains open even as russia surround its neighbor with 60%

of land forces. >> carley: ukrainian president says invasion could begin as soon as tomorrow. griff jenkins has the latest. >> griff: good morning, carley and todd. we'll soon find out whether zelenskyy's warn suggest serious. he is a former comedian. his country is bracing for the worst after he made this announcement. watch. >> we are told that february 16th will be the day of attack. we will make it a union day. the decree has been signed. that afternoon we will hang national flags, put on blue-yellow ribbons and show unity. >> griff: russian troops swell. it comes as u.s. troops head to europe. putin could move with little to no warning. >> this is not going to go well

for mr. putin, should he decide to invade again. what he's see suggest more unified west, more unified nato. >> griff: the state department says the window for diplomacy remains open and talks with the kremlin continue. they are closing the embassy in kie v. and secretary blinken is pushing for $1 billion in international support for ukraine and guaranteed load. this as jake sullivan briefed lawmakers yesterday behind closed doors with criticism of the handling of the crisis getting louder. >> mr. putin follow third degree whole thing and he's decided this is the right time to push his agenda and we're not doing as much as we could be doing without actually encumbering any of our troops. >> griff: what we're watching today is germany chancellor set

to meet with putin, we'll see what comes of that as defense secretary lloyd austin is travelling to meet with leaders in belgium. todd and carley. >> carley: thank you. mr. marco rubio says he is worried could unleash cyber attacks against its neighbor, as well. >> invasion of ukraine would be deeply problematic, returning to world in which powerful countries can just take over their neighbors. that is the claim russia makes about europe and what china is making about asia, and the notion of cyber war fare. if putin launches it, we have never had a cyber war, we don't know how quickly that escalates. a lot to worry about escalating beyond ukraine. >> carley: security experts believe russia may have hacked ukraine's power grid during the conflict that started in 2014. >> todd: no surprise there. exclusive report, john durham's

investigation is moving along faster than reported. >> carley: attorneys for clinton's lawyer michael sussmann, alleged involve nment infiltrating trump tower and the white house computer servers. brooke singman joins us live with more. good morning, what is the latest? >> brooke: good morning, guys. a source tells me special counsel john durham investigation has accelerated and more people are cooperating than previously thought. the source telling me durham has run his investigation very professionally adding he's done this right and keeps it a secret. the source telling me there has been more activity than visible to the public. the white house is dodging questions related to durham's filing. listen. >> that is something i can't speak to from this podium, i refer you to the department of justice. >> is what is described in that reports, internet traffic, is that spy something >> again, i can't speak to that report. i refer you to the department of

justice. >> generally speaking -- >> i refer you to the department of justice. >> brooke: the white house's tight-lipped former director of national intelligence john ratcliffe anticipates more indictments, he wouldn't say who he thinks could face one. listen. >> i would expect there to be frankly quite a few more indictments. i think this experience and there was a criminal conspiracy is broad and deep. >> brooke: durham's filing reveals michael sussmann paid an internet company to infiltrate servers at the white house and trump tower. michael sussmann's attorney is asking a judge to strike or get rid of the part about the server writing that the special counsel made a file nothing this case that unnecessarily includes prejudice to the motion and

intended to politicize this case, enflame media coverage and taint the jury pool. michael sussmann is charged with making false statements and pleaded not guilty in september, set to go to trial in just a few months. >> carley: thank you for that reporting. early this morning, we spoke to judicial watch president tom fitton on breaking news, here is what he had to say about hillary clinton herself. >> what did she know? when did she know? her campaign paid for this. there are tweets that are criminal evidence showing she was push thanksgiving fake information about president trump and the question for the clinton people is how many dossier dids they have against trump? you have the steele dossier and the dossier create friday this computer spy operation targeting the president's company, his home and then the white house. >> carley: the big question, how far does this go?

will hillary clinton be held accountable? if republicans take back the house, expect hearings on this, think back to adam schiff saying undeniable evidence that trump cludeed with russia, statements fuel the fire. he is a lawmaker and must know something we don't. millions of taxpayer dollars spent on this russia collusion narrative turned out not to be true. you have john ratcliffe say thering is enough evidence for criminal indictment, but people should be held politically accountable, as well. >> todd: big names will come out that you, the american people will know and recognize, i do believe heads will roll and the dc establish cemetery so scared and defensive right now. donald trump could be proven right. you are hearing cricket necessary washington, including the white house. breaking news came in overnight

with regard to michael sussmann's lawyer's response. i do believe that shows they know that their goose is cooked, they are in trouble, because basically what they are doing, attacking john durham for publicizing findings and tainting the jury pool. for three reasons, there is no other way to get information in front of court than through a filing. something like this, matter of public record, would never be filed under seal and michael sussmann's lawyers know that, too. we're the only ones covering this at fox news, no jury pool tainting and three, publicizing, have you seen one news conference sin he began his investigation? the answer is no, michael sussmann knows he's in trouble. >> carley: there is a lot of similarities in the stories we're talking about right now, whether covid misinformation or what is going on with the truckers getting taken off social media or silenced if you

have different narrative. that is what happened to donald trump, they were trying to find a narrative to remove him from office, silence him because they didn't like what he had to say either. how about that? pervasive in everything. >> todd: the way they go about doing it f. they are doing the thing wrong, they accuse you of doing the thing to distract. >> carley: not just trump tower, the white house. it is insane. like a bad movie that could be made if hollywood was fair. i don't know if this is getting made. >> not this week. >> carley: the homeless man following a woman into her new york city sxarment -- apartment and murdering her was out on supervised release. the building landlord has a lot to say to city leaders and the victim's young boss will join us to discuss this senseless act of

violence. don't go anywhere. jamaica. heartbeat of the world. let's go! why is guy fieri in the neighbors' kitchen? it's sliiiiiiiiii-der sunday! with king's hawaiian sliders it's easy to deliver lights out flavor! sliiiiiiiiii-der sunday! slider sunday? these chicken parm sliders on king's hawaiian rolls are fire! i want that. and you gotta try these bbq chicken sliders on king's hawaiian pretzel slider buns! everything's better between king's hawaiian bread. especially now with king's hawaiian pretzel buns! did he just...?

>> todd: the career criminal is being held without bail. >> carley: more on the suspect's

lengthy rap sheet. jackie. >> jackie: assamad nash is charged with murdering christina yuna lee inside her chinatown apartment. nash was out on bail for three separate open cases. in september, he allegedly punched a 63-year-old man in the face at a subway station, just five days after he was caught with synthetic marijuana at the same location and arrested for criminal mischief on january 6th. he has a dozen arrest necessary new york and new jersey dating back to 2012. mayor eric adams trying and failing to convince democrats in albany to roll back soft on crime policies saying the killing was preventable. listen. >> he's a poster person for a failing system that creates crisis. he should not have been on the streets. we should do a better job making sure dangerous people are not on

the street. >> jackie: community members honored christina yuna lee. congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez blames the expiration of the tax child credit for the recent crime surge. >> because we run away from substantive discussions about this, we don't want to say the things that are obvious. like, gee, the child tax credit just ran out on december 31st and now people are stealing baby formula. >> jackie: christina yuna lee was a creative producer who had lived in new york city for less than a year. one charge filed against the suspect is sexually motivated burglar, which sheds light on a possible motive. >> carley: thank you. christina yuna lee's landlord brian chen and her former employer eli klein. this shakes the community to the

core. did you think something would happen in one of your apartment buildings? >> good morning. my family has owned this since the 1970s. we've lived through the '70s, '80s and '90s and nothing happened like this. certainly not in our neighborhood or our building. we are as a community, shockd and grieveing and very, very scared and rightfully angry at our elected officials who have driven us to this point and put this criminal on the streets. >> carley: brian, i was wondering, you heard jackie's report talking about aoc talking about crime and saying this increase could have happened because of the child tax credit no longer being in effect. what is your response to that? >> my response is that, that is unbelievably naive sdpament completely irresponsible on

behalf of her. it also shows the amount of distance that our elected officials have from the actual community themselves. all crimes committed, including the assault in the subway station were just steps away from the building. he was a menace to the community. the police did their job, kept arresting him repeatedly. it was the politicians, lax on crime policy that kept putting him on the street. the judge and politicians set the law in the city. >> carley: this criminal, this suspect, assamad nash, 25 years old, out on bail on all previous cases including assault case, three open cases in manhattan criminal court, arrested four times in the last year alone. you cared about christina yuna lee, you knew her, employed her. what is your response and

reflection on this horrific tragedy that occurred? >> well, first, i would just say that christina yuna lee was one of the nicest, genuine, hardest working, sweetest, most independent people that i've ever known and learning what happened to her was devastating and i think i'm still reeling from this tragedy. many of us can't believe this happened to christina yuna lee. it couldn't have happened to a nicer person. it is sickening, this -- how she was murdered and how brutal the crime was. how many times she was stabbed, how she was stalked, the whole scenario is just unfathomable. it is a tragedy of epic proportions and regardless of everything else, it is still

something that i think we're going to have to live with for the rest of our lives knowing that this could have been preventable and this guy certainly shouldn't have been on the streets for one reason or the other. >> carley: yeah. brian, how are your other tenants dealing with this, do they feel safe? >> a lot of us still can't sleep, to be honest. i've only slept about three hours in the last nearly three days now. the building is an active crime scene, the police have not released the building. it has been a nightmare. of course, our pain is -- pales in comparison to the family. i really just cannot imagine to have a child taken away like this. >> carley: brian, eric adams, mayor of new york, he is interested in fixing this crime issue, he wants to get guns off the street and change bail

reform laws. it looks like roadblocks are in the way and he'll not be able to do that. what do you think the future of new york city looks like? >> what i would say is as a community, right now, we are scared issue but also extremely angry, not only at this criminal, but at the system that has repeatedly failed us. we have high hopes for mayor adams, but have been failed by his district attorney bragg, since day one he announced his new lax-on-crime policy. my response to them, you need to enact much-needed reforms. we are tired of hearing our officials utter empty platitudes while enacting none of the reforms that need to take place f. they don't, good luck in the next election, because as a community, we are very, very angry. >> carley: as a community and

nation we should be angry. christina yuna lee should be alive today. brian chin and eli klein, thank you for speaking out. >> thank you for having me. >> todd: heartbreaking. 20 after the hour. former president trump appears to be vindicated after being trashed by the democrats. >> the biggest scandal was when they spyod my campaign, they spyod my campaign. >> there is no real evidence of that. >> of course there is, all over the place. >> no, we can't put on things that we can't verify. >> they spied on my campaign. >> todd: the same media, there are direct lynchings to clinton campaign. joe concha is ready to respond. he's income. and it's easy to get a quote at libertymutual.com so you only pay for what you need. isn't that right limu? limu? sorry, one sec. doug blows a whistle.

>> this needs to be exposed,

the american people deserve the truth. who needs to be accountable, co-conspirrator is the main-stream media. i don't believe they were duped, i think they are complicit in this and continue to be complicit in this. >> carley: blaming the media for failing to cover the probe. "new york times" is trying to deflect by refueling the russia collusion narrative. trump's campaign chairman secretly met and shared info with an agent presenting a grave counter intelligence threat and included a report alleged former campaign chair paul manafortfed information in 2016, why has media gone mia covering the clinton spying scandal? >> todd: bring in joe concha, fox news contributor.

of all the stories the main-stream media ignored or squashed, is this the most egregious to date? >> joe: yes, todd. i hesitated for a second, but when you think about it, it really is. think about the fact we now have a president in trump that for three years, a trump-russia collusion dominated coverage in the situations. you have basically a presidency that was hijacked as a result of this and it wasn't even presented as an allegation, it was gospe he colludeed with russians and won the election. there were polls taken after 2016, that found two-thirds of democratic voters believe that russia actually hacked our voting machines to change vote totals. here you have a president who is considered illegitimate and

calld that by hillary clinton or jimmy carter or name your cnn or msnbc analyst. we are seeing the opposite, in terms of this durham report. this is not he said, she said, this is not unnamed source saying xyz. this is john durham, who is impeccable in terms of integrity, taking his time, doing the investigation and concluding a clinton lawyer pushed this narrative and that a tech executive may have infiltrated trump servers when he was a candidate, and when he was president, as well. we hear about watergate, this is worse than that, if true, it deserves curiosity of abc, nbc, cbs, cnn, "new york times," "washington post." instead of saying this is wrong, don't believe what you are seeing here and dismissing it

without investigating it. >> carley: "new york times," court filings started furor right wing. use of the word infiltrate because this internet company maintained internet-related servers for the white house and admits the company exploited this arrangement. >> joe: precisely. look, i could go on about this, you can say, well, maybe durham is incorrect here, right? obviously we believe in due process in this situation. at least try to explore this with one-10th, one-100th of the vigor and passion you did with in terms of concluding that trump was guilty before proven innocent upon around conspiring with russia due to win an election. when trump said this was

happening as far as spying, the media dismissed it, mocked him, this is not happening. now you have a media trying to ignore the story and hide what may have happened. i don't know where to go at this point. i would hope that john durham, if you believe he is a great investigator and to this points, his career says he is. this will have more things to drop, more legs as it gets bigger, then they can't ignore it anymore, right, todd? >> todd: it takes minl effort to report a filing, yet goose eggs across main-stream media board. >> carley: republican lawmakers briefed by the white house on escalating tension between russia and ukraine. the white house braces for a possible invasion, which they say could come any day now. >> todd: congressman pat fallon was part of that preefing and he will tell us what he learned

next. ing and he will tell us what he learned next. br will tell us what he learned next. ing and he will tell us what he learned next. efing and he will tell us what he learned next. >> jackie: j.d.

>> todd: the white house briefing members of congress as ukraine braces for a possible russian invasion. jake sullivan telling house armed services committee about $1 billion aid offer and near complete drawdown of the u.s. embassy in kyiv. joining me is congressman pat fallon, joins us live. congressman, in light of what you learned in the briefing, do

you think an invasion is eminent? >> yeah, todd, it seems like all indications and unfortunately that is the case, with putin, you never know, i think he keeps the world guessing in myriad of different ways. seems that will take place. >> todd: we had an individual josh mandel running for senate earlier, here is his take on how joe biden is handling the border whether ukraine or the border, take a listen. >> biden administration whether the southern border or overseas makes no sense. president trump always put americans first. if there were americans overseas, he would never force them to have a vaccine passport. >> todd: congressman, you got a first-hand look at the biden foreign policy aprasus up front. are you confident in joe biden's

approach to ukraine? >> no, obviously not. i sent out a letter in october, todd that encouraged and urged the president to send lethal aid to the ukraine then to act as deter sxent show russians we were intent on helping ukraine if at all possible. he dragged his ft. it is inexplicable as to why. one thing about president trump you can point to, that is fact, the russians were not rattling their savor when trump was in the white house. 2008, they stole two provinces in georgia, they stole thecrimea. the russians feared president trump. >> todd: from a border that the biden administration wants to, republican lawmakers sending a letter to dhs secretary mayorkis

demanding full counts of illegal immigrants released into the united states. it was your colleagues in maryland and in tennessee that drafted this letter. as americans throughout all 50 states, come to the realization that the crisis at our southern border is coming into their communities. is this the one issue that basically clenches congress for republicans come november? >> it know doesn't make sense, todd. joe biden, not even crisis, catest officeree because of two reasons, joe biden weakness and wokeness and made every state, all 50 states are border states. we had 11 months of 150,000 illegal border crossings. 2 million illegal border crossings in one calendar year. really drug cartels are making

wild profit. come november, based on this one issue, we'll not be seeing a red wave, we are seeing a red tsunami. >> todd: congressman, we appreciate your insight on tuesday morning. thank you, sir. over to you. >> carley: senator bernie sanders joining congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez throwing support behind progressive candidate in texas challenging one of their own fellow democrats. meanwhile, aoc is being criticized for campaign nothing texas and not spending time in her own district. desi cuellar says that could spell trouble for her re-election hopes. >> to be honest, everything she's doing shows she isn't planning run for re-election or that she knows she doesn't have a shot when it comes to the red wave coming. >> carley: saturday rally, alexandria ocasio-cortez said turning texas blue is inevitable. >> todd: i see blue on janice dean's map. i don't know what that means,

she is here to explain what it does mean. >> janice: look at it, where you see cooler temperatures is blue and purple, really cold is pink. you see cold pink up there. the great lakes area and upstate new york and new england, 19 here in new york city. i asked producers today if i could stay inside. all right. we have this trough pushing into the west and that is going to bring potential for rain along the coast and mountain snow and cooler temperatures will break some of those. we had records broken over the last week in california. temperatures will come down now to more seasonal levels and we're going to deal with potential for severe storms wednesday and thursday. behind this system, we're going to be dealing with high winds and high fire danger because ahead of that front, temperatures are warm across the plain states. you have dry air and blowing wind and you have warm temperatures that could fuel the fires. here is what we're talking about

in terms of that area of low pressure moving into the central u.s., grabbing moist and you are interact with warm, unstable air and give threat for severe storms. this is wednesday into thursday, the colder side of this storm will bring measurable snow. so there is snow potential, looks like a bulls eye for parts of the central u.s. south of topeka, kansas. the severe threat and we could have severe weather outbreak wednesday into thursday, overnight conditions, make sure you have place to get your warnings, if you don't have the tv on, it is happening overnight. it is good wednesday and thursday. in the northeast, ahead of the system, pump up temperatures. things will get above average and looking ahead a couple weeks looks like much of the country will enjoy warmer temperatures, if you like that kind of thing. we can have storms in march. big winter storms.

>> todd: active map in february. >> janice: keeping me in business and fox weather. >> carley: prime minister justin trudea invoking emergency powers against the freedom convoy that were not even used on 9/11. attack on parliament and going after their bank accounts. >> todd: not just the politicians, shamelessly breaking covid rules. you love this picture, carley, you keep laughing every time you see it. head of a teacher's union maskless in the stands despite working to keep masks on your kids in the classroom. cheryl casone has that and more next.

>> todd: beep, beep, beep. 5:45 wake-up call. coming up on "fox and friends," we have florida congressman michael waltz, he will join us live after several members of congress were briefed on russia and ukraine. he will discuss whether u.s. is doing enough to prevent an invasion, which seems like a foregone conclusion. former georgia congressman doug collins will discuss silence from the durham probe and the hillary thing and the russia

thing. why aren't any other news outlets talking about it. the producer price index report is coming out this morning and stuart va rney will break down the numbers. we have a full three hours, kicks off about 14 minutes from here, on the channel you trust. the host will stay inside the building because outside it is freezing. it is -- todd and carley, it is 15 degrees outside, the wind chill is 5. >> todd: no joke. >> carley: that is why janice dean asked producers to stay inside today. see you in 14 minutes. >> 13 minutes and 42 seconds. >> todd: come on, carley. >> carley: tick, tick, tick. ticked off by school boards, three school board members facing a recall election today. parents are putting woke politics over education.

two people who organize recall petition joined us earlier. >> it is a dumpster fire, honestly, they are focused on renaming schools on their -- using kids as subjects for social experiments. >> she warrants immediate removeals she doesn't have the students and children's at heart. >> carley: the board's priorities are seriously misplaced. >> todd: california teachers union boss facing backlash after he was photoed maskless at a playoff game. continuing to advocate for face coverings on kids. >> carley: cheryl casone is here with more details. >> cheryl: good morning. rules for thee, not for me. amid widespread protest of mask in schools. teacher leaders seen not wearing a mask. jesse aguilar tweeted this

picture himself, which angered unions. this is the same game governor gavin newsom appeared maskless among his celebrity buddies. he defended himself saying it was only for a photo. these mask mandates are a joke, but when it comes to kids, parents are angry and have every right to be. >> todd: unbelievable. speaking of mandates, so much for democracy in canada. >> cheryl: canada prime minister justin trudea invoking emergency power for the protest. the move allows him to limit public gatherings, target donations to sites like go fund me. the government can freeze personal accounts to anyone linked to the protest. they are protesting the vaccine requirements. it has expanded beyond that.

i don't know any canned connedian -- canada lawyers, but i think there are cases against the government. >> carley: they don't have the same freedom of speech rules like we have in the u.s. >> todd: you can't steal the money. >> carley: speaking of money, ukraine and u.s., what is go og? >> cheryl: billion dollar loan guarantee for ukraine to help the economy. the economy hit a three-year low. it would help buy projects, it is like infrastructure bill. oil hitting seven-year high inching toward $100 per barrel. russia, one of the largest oil producers, member of opec plus, a group not met production targets. that is the -- russia. a lot to unpack there. instead of that, tonight what you should do is watch american dream home.

8 p.m. eastern time tonight, helping families find their dream home. that would be me. >> sounds like a better plan. thank you. >> carley: houston robingets are waving after acquiring the center in trade with the boston celtics. kanter freedom has been largely absent, he's been outspoken against communist china and human rights abuses. criticizing the nba devotion to china and super star lebron james there. >> todd: daytona 500, sponsoring the 77 car, cassel will drive in the next generation stock car. road to daytona, you can start streaming the series ahead of sunday's race, which will air exclusively on fox. >> todd: nicely done. >> carley: multiple people tied

to hillary clinton could be tied to john durham's investigation. and hacking trump tower and white house servers. >> todd: this case could go all the way to the top, top. tomi tuesday here to react, next. ♪ expand your limits in the 2022 lexus gx with apple carplay support. get 2.49% apr financing on the 2022 gx 460. it's my 4:05, the-show-must-go-on, migraine medicine. it's ubrelvy. for anytime, anywhere, migraine strikes. . .

>> todd: former dni john ratcliffe foreshadowing a lot more to come from the durham investigation. >> carley: tomi lahren joins us live. i know you have read this report. what are your top line thoughts on. this i wish that the other mainstream media networks would cover it because it's pretty important. it has a pretty big impact not only on the credibility of the hillary clinton campaign and credibility of the mainstream media is also called into question. it should on the tip of everyone's tongue. it is a bombshell report. if you think that hillary clinton's private servers and deleted emails were important this could be even more important it also goes to show that donald trump was right about a whole lot more than we ever even anticipated. let's not forget the mainstream media spent four years plus from the day he announced his candidacy going after him, his campaign, his family, laughing him off when he discussed allegations of potential spying and hillary clinton being

involved and obama being involved. they laughed him off. they told him that was misinformation? well, once again, the man appears to be correct. we are going to see more from this report. i just wish that the mainstream media would cover it because it's important. the american people also want to know if they were lied to. >> todd: carley alluded to this earlier in the show. i want to get your thoughts on it. is this the official end of hillary clinton's political career? >> >> listen, i think literal is like a bad christmas fruit cake. she never goes away she is that narcissistic. for some reason the mainstream media is still dedicated for covering her and excusing her crooked and corrupt behavior. you would think this would be enough to end her political career but i think that she is full of herself. she loves herself so much, the democratic party is so indentured to her for whatever reason i don't think she is ever going to go away. >> isn't there a narrative running through the all the top

stories of the day whether it's covid or this new story that we're learning about infiltrating trump servers. it's all about silencing the opposition. as opposed to beating them with better ideas. or more information. how did we get here as a country? >> well, this is typical democrat playbook 101. it's called gaslighting it seems that everything they accuse us of doing is actually things that they have done. and you are right about the silencing. you are right about the censorship. the shaming. that's all apparent. but more than that, it shows that their party is out of ideas. they don't have an agenda. they have to cheat to win, whether that's hillary clinton and what being accused of or whether that's through voter fraud or things of that nature. they can't just square up with us face to face and win on ideas. they have to resort to this. and the mainstream media is complicit in all of this. that, to me, is what is most frustrating. i don't expect the dnc or the democratic party to be

straightforward. i would expect the media, which is supposed to be the guard dog the watchdog of the truth to be stepping in here. unfortunately they're largely not doing so. >> todd: meantime republicans are accusing joe biden charging the military $5.3 million half a million bucks. training and the like. why is this administration putting wokeness over readiness? >> well, i think it's quite apparent when you look at the biden administration and they name climate change is our biggest national security threat quite frankly when we have several other national security threats i would say southern border number one and of course, china, iran, russia, north korea, all of our enemies have been emboldened by this administration but it seems this administration is dedicated to the social experiment and a lot of people make the mistake looking at the military like it's any other profession or career organization. it's not. where wokeism might work for corporate organizations it might work for clothing brands for sports teams. it doesn't work for the world's

number one fighting force which is what our united states military should be and should be dedicated to being. unfortunately they have taken their priorities, their money, and their time to focus on climate change, to focus on extremism and to focus on trump derangement syndrome. it's all a joke. >> todd: our lives are in the balance because of it tomi lahren, thanks very much. >> carley: thanks, tomi, we appreciate it with that "fox & friends" starts right now. bye-bye. ♪ ♪ >> bret: there are significant developments in the trump-russia probe. >> a force tells fox news that things have quote accelerated. >> it will be one of the biggest political scandals in history. >> the danger they have done to democracy is immeasurable. >> potential russian investigation liewmed over ukraine. >> russia has amassed 130,000 troops. >> president zelensky says russia will invade tomorrow. >> a man accused of stalking and stabbing a come to death now being held without bail.
