so that's what we know as far as menendez's past.uture, in this criminal investigation, well, that's something we need to get more details on. i will note several people have pointed out on twitter, well, wait a minute, isn't this inside the justice department's guidelines and so-called 60 day rule, which is not really a rule, as far as politically sensitive investigations. menendez is not up for election this year, so he does not technically fall under that. we also don't know this was originally, this was originally reported by a website that referenced a subpoena, we have not confirmed that ourselves. but we don't know when that subpoena was issued and we don't know when the investigation was open. so there is no investigation that we have that this is something that was just opened today, and certainly no indication that we have, that this falls outside of justice department guidelines about these types of investigations, hallie. >> tom winter, thank you for that. appreciate it. keep us posted as you get more. thanks. >>> in wisc

in 2015 you may recall, menendez was indicted on bribery and corruption charges. a jury deadlocked on the charges two years later. prosecutors declined to retry menendez. he maintained his innocence and was re-elected in 2018. it is unclear if this latest investigation is related to the earlier case. >>> and we could find out more today about russian vladimir putin's views on foreign affairs amid the war in ukraine. he's set to make his annual speech to a kremlin affiliated da -- russian claimss that ukraine is planning to use a radioactive dirty bomb on its own territory. western nations have rejected that claim warning it could be a pretext for russia to use tactical nuclear weapons. earlier this week, president biden warned putin the use of such a weapon would be a, quote, serious mistake. >>> a wisconsin man is pacing life in prison after a jury found him guilty of killing six people when he drove his suv into a christmas parade near milwaukee last year. 40-year-old darrell brooks displayed bizarre behavior at times during the trial, reacted as his own attorne

authorities, menendez would try to answer any questions. all kind of in the dark at least publicly at this point as far as what this is about. but we do know, as you alluded to, this is not the senator's first brush with the law. he was investigated in late 2013 by the fbi in a case out of new jersey in convention with federal authorities in florida who were looking into tying between menendez and a doctor who is an eye care doctor in -- what the investigation centered around was whether or not menendez received gifts in exchange for him helping out the doctor in his official capacity. menendez, as you alluded to, also was charged in that particular case that ended with a hung jury and a mistrial. the justice department decided not to try him again. the doctor was sentenced to 17 years in prison. you can imagine the amount of fraud that the judge determined to sentence him to that type of a sentence. he's since had his sentence commuted at the urging of senator menendez by former president trump. we'll have to see where all this goes. we're

now, this, as far as senator menendez's trial back then, it was found to be a mistrial.e was subsequently re-elected but again, we don't know the scope of this investigation -- >> would it be the same indictment and investigation because, i guess double jeopardy, can't be tried twice? >> the justice department already declined to re-try menendez on those specific charges, so that would be a moot point. every indication that again, we're still reporting this out, it does appear to be a new investigation and a new matter at the point, no indication of the doctors involved but a lot involved but we don't know all of it yet. >> tom, thank you. appreciate it. >>> and it was dangerous for election workers in 2020, as you know. as donald trump claimed cheating and fraud with the gop continuing to push those lies, in the past few years. it has only gotten a lot more dangerous at the polls. now with 13 days to go before the midterms, and already voting under way, early voting under way, some of those workers are telling us that working at these sites is just too much. joining me

i think the frustration you are hearing from us is very accurately described by both chairman menendez and the ranking member. when we were told these were going to be the toughest sanctions ever on a country, and they were going to have certain impacts and we have not seen the full impact that was described to us. so i think we are anxious to know what more we can do, what more the administration can do to make these sanctions even tougher, to make it even harder for russia to operate and one of the things you said, secretary rosenberg, was the fact that our european colleagues may be better positioned because of where they are located. i would just point out as i know you are aware often, if the united states takes the lead that helps prompt our allies, our european colleagues to follow that. so i hope we are continuing to think about that. i wonder if you could, you talked about the additional ways that we need to apply pressure i wonder if you can talk about what the plan is to do that to the extent that you can publicly and then i have to follow up on the energy issue because as s

menendez, ro khanna. saying everything must be frozen between the u.s. and saudi arabia.kind of the black hat of saudi arabia and this decision rather than talk about energy production in the u.s.? >> so the problem for democrats is that this looks political. this doesn't look like there's any grand geo strategic thinking in how we're handling our relationship with saudi arabia. looks like president biden went to saudi arabia over the sumner hopes that they would continue pumping oil to keep gas prices low. didn't work out. they snubbed him. it's not just gas prices. the relationship with saudi arabia a lot has to do with energy and a lot has to do with constraining iran and using the saudis as a bulwark in the region. the fact that the democratic party's base is talking about freezing arm sales and talking about ending our alliance with saudi arabia, it seems all about politics, all about gas prices without looking at the bigger issues also that are in play with the relationship. that makes us look very political from an administration and they need to think about big pi

menendez says suspend all arms sales. is that something you would consider? get in what i will consider and have in mind, but there will be consequences. >> one top democrat told me yesterday any freeze in the relationship that's not totally defined is not as simple as it sounds. it could in some regard ba backfire. how real do you think this talk of consequences is? >> well, i think of consequences might be real, but what you said is, you nailed it, of course, on the complications of dealing with saudi arabia. all we have to do is see what president biden has done in the past, you know, few months, which is he went to saudi arabia, met with the crown prince even after saying very harsh things about him because of the murder of jamal khashoggi. that's exhibit a of how complicated it is. you layer the opec. i think it's the president's fellow democrats pushing legislation on saudi, it's another example of people out there wanting their members of corning, their senators to do something. this is a chance -- senator blumenthal is afternoon example. he's tough on
