in certain offices in washington, the white house, washington - the state department of the us ministrydefense firmly and unwaveringly support the ukrainian position and our peace formula, there is no doubt about the french president one thing about mr. macron is what he stated 2:3 days ago. and what did france do today? well , france sent more than tens of tons of necessary energy equipment and weapons for ukraine. with their terrorist missiles, the terrorists damaged so much energy infrastructure from lviv to kramatorsk, there is not a single power plant of ukraine left that they tried to damage, but the french, france, macron is an ally here and now it took and helped and these are today's results and today's position of france, therefore i believe that we should not look for negativity, even scheming and possible sometimes misunderstandings with european, especially partners, but look for what makes us allies and what makes us an ally allies, a common position to repel russian aggression once and for the restoration of the economy of ukraine as a future member of the european union,

use of tiktok on government phones is actually included in the omnibus which was a last-minute surprise, of course, there are some agencies in the government including the white house state department where employees cannot use the app currently on their government phones but there is a bipartisan concern about tiktok. i think the question is, you know, where does this blanket ban in the u.s. that senator rubio and actually bipartisan duo of members in the house introduced, there hasn't been a democratic sponsor in the senate. i think it would need that to get anywhere and democrats by and large are really waiting for the white house, the biden administration to finish their own review of tiktok which has been ongoing for several months now. >> all right, politics reporter for semafor, morgan chalfant, thank you. >>> the so-called crypto king is released on a $250 million bond while awaiting arraignment for fraud and other criminal charges. we'll have the latest on his case.

employees already all the administration of the white house, now woke up and the pentagon politician quotes a high-ranking anonymous from the us departmente, i think there are fears that he will return to the same work that he did in the past. to send weapons to all american enemies in a circle from africa to venezuela. moreover, ukraine, of course, is constantly mentioned. i am sure that putin and the russian hope that mr. bout will resume his former idea of ​​activity, in short, america and deep state realized that he had gotten a heavy slap in the face. we have to ask a question. what are the consequences now for the rest of the americans who continue to be held. now their exchange price has gone up, which puts all americans at risk because would-be hostage-takers see that we're willing to bargain. and that's very dangerous. when americans take hostages , america should unleash all hell on those who hold them. but america itself, of course, is not forbidden to take hostages, therefore they do not get out of the air. those who had direct attitude to provocations against buta. they seem to be also recognized as victims as a result of th

we had a meeting this morning, initially going to be a white house state department strategy session, but elizabeth whelan joined usnd we spent 45 minus talking over strategy. why i want you to know that is it's not just the government that solves the problem. we partner with families, work with families, create strategies together. we don't have a monopy on all the good ideas and sometimes engaging with families produces a solution or strategy we might not have thought of ourselves. we are working hard engaging with the family and we will bring paul home. amna: i have been in touch with the family of another american detained in russia, mark vogel, who has not been designated wrongfully detained by the u.s. government. his family believes he should be designated that way and we should be working to retrieve them. why do you see mark vogel's case as different? roger: we don't discuss the determination process for obvious reasons. i can tell you his case is under review and it will stay under review. it's not like we look at a case and put it awa if a case rises due under review, it is constantly staying there. we k

department of defense. and also with us stephanie grisham, the former trump white house communications director.re. ryan, these 46 new transcripts, people like pat cipollone, bill barr, ivanka trump, how important are they, in your view? >> i think they're very important in the sense that they give us visibility into the white house, and decisions that are being made by trump, his insight, his mindset with respect to winning or losing the election and trying to overturn it. and i also think they show kind of the road map for the justice department. it gives us an dedian indicatio things like ivanka trump turning over text messages. it's good for us as the american public to know that the justice department will have that. and then to see the kinds of questions that the committee asked even if they weren't answered. because they're a powerful committee made up of former federal prosecutors and the like. triangulating time and again. those kinds of questions that they didn't get answers to are the questions that the justice department very well could because people are not able to claim executive

it is indicated that the white house is already completing preparations for sending the patriot anti-aircraft missile system to ukraine, the plan developed by the us department of defense must be approved by the head of the pentagon, lloyd austin, and then the document will be sent to the signature of the president of the united states and joe biden is expected what will be announced about the delivery already this week and an explosion was placed under melitopol in the zaporizhzhia region, it is damaged the support of the road bridge confirmed this the night before and the mayor of the city and the occupying russian authorities in the telegram channel, the mayor of melitopol ivan fedorov reported that the bridge quote is tired and this nose connected the city with kostiantynivka, it is one of the strategically important bridges after the damage to the crimean bridge, and it is strategically important for the russians it was through him that the occupiers transported military equipment from the eastern direction, wrote fedoriv, ​​and earlier he also stated that in the evening an explosion was heard from tokmok with mykhailivka, a certain suburb of melitopol

a meeting this morning, it was initially going to be just a white house and state department strategy session, but elizabeth whelan joined us spent about a good 45 minutes talking over strategies with elizabeth. it is not just the government that solves the problem. we partner with families, work with families, create strategies together. we don't have a monopoly on good ideas. sometimes engaging with families produces the solution or strategy we would not have thought about by ourselves. we are on the job, working hard, engaging with the family, and we will find a way to bring paul home. amna: one of the families of another american detained in russia, who has not been designated wrongfully detained by the u.s. government and there is a distinction, but his family believes he should be designated in that way and we should be working to free him. why do you see mark fogel's case is different? roger: we don't discuss i guess the determination process for obvious reasons. i can tell you his case is under review and it will stay in review. it's not like we look at a case and put it away. if it rises to the point that it is und

. >> as a former white house counsel, could you help us read between the lines of the summary released by the committee? what are they signaling to the justice department like, quote, the committee believes that the white house counsel, pat cipollone, gave a particularly important account of the events of january 6th, unquote? what does that tell you about the importance, the day, placed on cipollone, as opposed to other witnesses they very clearly considered evasive and not fully cooperating, like tony ornato or kayleigh mcenany? >> well, apparently this report throughout gives credibility assessments of many, many witnesses, which is important to the department because if a witness dissemble in front of the congress still want to know that. that isn't a very reliable witness. that also maybe somebody who can be prosecuted or squeezed if they have important information. so, all those will be signals to the department. and i'll be a record for them to study and pursue their own case. they make their own judgments though, very much so. yet they will have this additional material. cipollone is probably one of the key witnesses going forward if both the d

i think the people you speak to in the white house and state department, national security council, they're already ahead of use state department has said that the kremlin told them that it was griner of knowing of any sense of what they want for paul's freedom. >> no, they have in the past seem to have always wanted parity, if the u.s. government denied it. the russians with the nigh nine pieces if the russians kicked up nine people. it's about parity. that's where it's going, and the u.s. government was not able to find anything on hand that could get into the russians. maybe that they're waiting for a russians by the big captured outside because paul has been labeled a spy in russia. that for that might be the parody, i don't know, but it seems that whatever it is, the u.s. government is not having it. i hope that there are able to figure out how to fill that need for the russian government. >> being the operative word there. paul did say that he was quickly disappointed that more has not been done to secure his release. can you just talk about what this has been like from your perspective. >> it's been dif

has exclusive news for us eh dima i congratulate you, tell me what they say in the usa well, actually there are already statements from the white house from the state department and as far as i understand it is very serious and the american administration, american intelligence, the pentagon monitored all this, well and first of all, i would like to quote the words of cain jean-pierre, the spokeswoman for the administration , she said that america is concerned about the role of belarus in this war, and it is minsk that, in principle , made it possible for the war to start. is concerned about the role of belarusians in russia's aggression. belarus contributed to russia's war against ukraine by providing support to moscow and allowing the use of the territory of belarus as a bridgehead for russian troops. therefore, we continue to closely monitor russia's actions, this is what we have done and will continue to do, including monitoring the situation in belarus and remain in close contact with ukraine, as it bravely defends itself against russian aggression. well, here i have to explain to you what kerinder means when he says that we are closely monitoring the ac

the employees are already all of the white house administration, now the pentagon has woken up and the pentagon quotes a high-ranking anonymous from the us departmentnse, i think there are fears that he will return to the same work that he did in the past a richer fantasy and those who are not under pressure by shoulder straps are already drawing pictures of how they will be. returning to moscow, he begins to send weapons to all american enemies in a circle from africa to venezuela. moreover, ukraine, of course, is mentioned constantly. i am sure that putin and the russian hope that mr. bout will resume his former activities. in short, the american deep state realized that they had gotten a heavy slap in the face. we have to ask a question. what are the consequences now for the rest of the americans, who continue to be held back now their exchange price has risen greatly, which puts everyone at risk. americans, because would-be hostage-takers see that we're willing to bargain. and this is very dangerous. when americans take hostages, america must unleash all hell on those who hold them back. but america itself, of course, is not forbidden to take h

struck us a bit harder, as we'd been expecting, based on the state department's statements about a substantial offer being made to the russian government, that paul would be coming home. the white houset what's going on and that's helpful to detainee families. there is still a lot that goes on behind the scenes, so we may not know until the very last minute and it could happen at any time. but my concern as months go by and probably years at this point go by, my parents may not be back, may not be here for paul. there's also the matter of viktor bout, known as the merchant of death, the notorious arms dealer was exchanged for brittney griner, a professional athlete. he told russian media that he wished her good luck on the tarmac. republicans argue the swap warranted two americans in exchange. it's put the white house on the defence. they were not willing to — and i said this yesterday — to negotiate in good faith for paul whelan. and so it was either brittney griner, one american, or no american. as for paul whelan, there's still hope. russia and the united states signalled a rare moment of co—operation amidst the war in ukraine. translation: are other exchanges possible? - yes, eve

the end of november, the state department was still blasting the kremlin for a failure to bargain in good faith. over the summer, white house officials repeatedly told us that they had made an offer for a prisoner swap, but that they were getting no response. now that's not the type of thing that they usually reveal publicly. but in this case they said they felt they had no choice but to up the public pressure because the russians.o silence griner's run for bout is the biden administration's second prisoner swap with russia. back in april they swapped marine veteran trevor reed for a russian who had been convicted of smuggling cocaine. at the time the u.s. used flight tracking services to make sure that the prisoner exchange was taking place as planned, and that's something they may have used today again during the exchange of griner who was coming from russia and bout coming from the united states. now we don't know exactly where griner's plane is going to be headed next, but we do know that the eventual destination, of course, is here in the u.s. >> all right, nancy, thank you so much. you know, we had the interview with cherelle griner, brittney's w
