carly, todd. >> thank you so much. declassified email from 2016 revealing a leading diplomat warning about hunter biden's $1 million job with ukrainian energy company. george has come of the event deputy chief at the u.s. embassy in ukraine writing "someone in washington needed to engage vp biden and the presence on the reasonable board undercut the anticorruption message. the vp and we were advancing in ukraine. sent the email to state department officials according to "just the news" with a bombshell email. the state department never acknowledged it. >> morehead's good role in the wake of the resignation from cnn. insiders telling "the daily mail" brian stelter should be the next to go. the chief media correspond failing to report the relationship between zucker and fellow executive and widely being known. stepping down as part of the probe into chris cuomo. cnn previously working for, you guessed it, disgraced ex-governor of new york state andrew cuomo. here is dan bongino on cnn, not so reliable sources. >> do you

todd: how is your family doing? >> it was tiring taking the burden on ourselves, she made a good point, we are in a position of adrenaline and getting our family out of this country into poland. we haven't processed what it means for our lives but everyone is safe. our baby is 15 months old and on a big road trip, smiling at everyone. that is the best part, she won't remember any of this. the rest of us are tired but we see the resistance ukrainians are putting up, vladimir putin didn't think they would but we knew they would and reading the stories of pushing them back, fighting, not giving up made our problems seem like nothing. carley: are you saying ukrainians are hopeful they will end up winning this war? what are they saying to you about how they are feeling? >> they are willing to fight as long as possible but if there's a change in major support, harsher sanctions, more weapons coming in, we saw weapons when we were driving out but there needs to be more and more. they can't hold out forever. it doesn't look

she came from a very connected family in kentucky the todd family very rich attic family there. she was close friends as a youth with henry clay one of abraham lincoln's great idols in the us senate so she had a very political background. she would read the newspapers and talk politics with her father. she was extraordinarily well educated so when she met lincoln, i think she saw him kind of a rough version of what he could be and she realized that there was a leader that she was seeing a future leader there. so i think she prodded him along the way i think she pushed him a little bit. i think she's definitely supported him. they were really good political pair obviously issues particularly later in her life, but as you put that pair together, they won heck of a political pair. so as a lawyer abraham and made a name from self and central illinois, but also as a politician in the state legislature, but again, he aspired higher he had great ambitions and a couple times he ran for the us senate most famously in 1858 and we know that because of course the great debates for steven do

todd?g to declare cyber war on putin's russia invades ukraine. here to break down what that means, the first u.s. air force base forest software officer. could see again. can they do any real damage? >> in the last two days, that's a first. they went after the russian government sites first and targeted the russian media tv site, and the largest russian energy company was down, as well. unfortunately these attacks were filtered by russia very rapidly and you now have these websites back up and running. it's only because russia decided to filter the traffic coming from outside of russia. so the websites are fully accessible for the citizens. the impact so far, anonymous announced that they managed to allegedly hack into the minister of defense russia database. so there might be a leak of data coming soon. we don't know the extent of that yet. they also announced for the first time that they might consider going after the systems powering the critical infrastructure of russia, the water and p
