mr. president. i see i have some additional time. we're waiting on senator schumer, i think i'm going to take my additional time and cut it short if senator schumer is here to talk about another issue. i want to talk about the european union's approach to russia. we know, mr. president, that in february the russian government sentenced alexei navalny, a very prominent opposition leader to mr. putin, to almost three years in prison. and shortly afterwards mr. putin directed that thousands of mr. navalny's supporters who were protesting be arrested. what was he-- what were his supporters arrested for? criticizing mr. putin. navalny's imprisonment comes in the wake of his near fatal poisoning about which we've all read and what happened to mr. navalny should be a wake why up call to our friends in europe. it's certainly a wake-up call to the american people. this isn't the first time that mr. putin has tried to get rid of a dissident. unfortunately, probably won't be the last. ... abroad. mr. putin has made trouble here in america, about which we all know. domestically

mr. phillips, to senate majority leader chuck schumer on the senate floor defending the go-big approach. >> if we don't act enhanced unemployment benefits will expire for millions of americans in need. if we don't act, millions of struggling families will miss out on direct payments and an expansion of the child tax credit. if we don't act, we risk the same, long slow and painful recovery we experienced after the financial crisis in 2008 when congress did too little to get our country back on track. the worst thing we could do would be to slow down now before the race is won. we will not, not do that. >> tim phillips, how do you respond? >> the government has gone big. no one would argue that $3.7 trillion, which they've already appropriated, the most money in american history, we've been around a long time. that's a lot of money. they need to make sure that they're using that money to help the folks who were struggling. and i mentioned earlier, up to $1 trillion of that money is still just sitting there. politicians like to kind of talk big sometimes rather than roll up their sleeves an

schumer there. let's speak to our north america correspondent david willis. david, mrtrump david, mras had some trouble getting and holding a defence lawyer. to this thing in more detail? —— what are they saying? in more detail? -- what are they saying?— in more detail? -- what are they saying? in more detail? -- what are the sa inc? ., , , ., they saying? donald trump is to refer to these _ they saying? donald trump is to refer to these proceedings - they saying? donald trump is to refer to these proceedings as i they saying? donald trump is to refer to these proceedings as a l refer to these proceedings as a witch hunts, hoaxes, and that is the tone struck by his lawyers in this deposition they filed today for some they've basically called the democrats action in active political theatre, they are making the point that is all part of a continuing political vendetta, if you like, against donald trump, and they're particular on procedural matters here rather than specifically the merits of the case against donald trump. challenging the constitutionality of bringing impeachment procee

although, the last i heard, senator schumer does not want to call it mrs..pe they reconsider that deal. amy: this is the key point. i am sure many people who deeply care about civil liberties and free speech are concerned that if someone says something and then someone else goes and commits a violent act and says it was because of what this guy said, that that is -- they're concerned about making those links. but the point he said in his speech, "i am going to be marching with you," of course he then scurried back to the white house with safety in the oval office, and watched what happened, are we going to learn about these conversations? republican after republican, calling him, told he would not take the calls, begging him to say something but he did not just say anything, he did issue a statement despite the fact is defense lawyers are not going to say he was horrified by the violence committed. in fact, he did make a statement at the time was how the desecration of the capitol. he called them patriots and said "i love you." >> i am in agreement. as i sai

chuck schumer's talking let's go to the senate floor. thank you mr president. or alan so i think that was an announcement by patrick leahy presiding over this that they're going to recess until 1230 if i heard him correctly right. some of the quorum call runs out at some point and you can't keep a quorum call going for too long so essentially what they've done is come back and say look we need to go into recess which they have done. which gives them more time so it gives them 45 minutes so it would suggest that maybe they're close to some sort of agreement about witnesses and we might get something from them when they come back at 1230. and saw the whole point then would be you were asking me do i think donald trump is going to be convicted it depends what they get these witnesses and it depends if it's one witness or they get kevin mccarthy or they decide that they want to subpoena mike pence or the even subpoena donald trump himself you'll know that in the last impeachment they thought about subpoenaing donald trump but he would be able to essentially slow up

mr. punch bowl by senate majority leader chuck schumer yesterday.ith liz cheney who, you know, you watch what she has to say. it sounds sensible, straight forward and like the way that any republican that used to dominate capitol hill would sound like, but she is in many ways an outlier and being so blunt and direct. what does that say about her future? where do you think she stands right now inside the republican conference, in the house? and what's the future of the battle between those who agree with her and those who seem much more willing to indulge the fantasies of the former president? >> well, right now she's safe. she had -- she was challenged for her leadership position. the house minority leader kevin mccarthy came to her rescue, and her own support inside the conference. she beat back a vote to remove her from her leadership position after she voted to impeach former president trump. so, right now she's safe. but i do think her comments yesterday are probably raise some eyebrows. there were a lot of republicans inside the conference want

mr. raskin and the other house managers wanted witnesses, i think the leadership, chuck schumer and nancysi, made a different political calculation and said, why should we do that? we probably won't get a conviction anyway, let's just leave mitch mcconnell and liz cheney to fight their own battle and we will move forward and have better prospects for reelection in 2024. because otherwise, it makes no sense for jamie raskin on the one hand to ask for witnesses after he had earlier asked that mr. trump be a witness, and then turn around and accept something that is no witnesses at all after he'd only engaged with the defense counsel -- nothing more -- and his argument, i say, well, he already had the evidence. if that were true, why did he even ask for adding the statement of b congress womanuetler? i think this was a deal cut at the top level between the democratic leadership letting republicans be at each other's roads for the next four years. amy: and a lot of talk, for example, chris coons, considered one of the biden whispers, senator from delaware, walking in on the house managers and
