shao powering progress your house, solomon in new york and this is cnn welcome to the lean. i'm jake tapper. this hour. what's going on at the f the ic lawmakers are trying to get at exactly that. they grilled the man in charge of that key federal bank regulator. >> he's facing calls to resign after accusations of pervasive

sexual harassment and discrimination at the fdic and the bullying of lower level employees coming up. >> the tough questions that the chair of the fdic face today on capitol hill, plus and attempted assassination of slovakia's prime minister shot multiple times earlier today, the sheer panic in the streets as this attack went down and leading this hour a moment of truth that needs to play out tomorrow in the new york hush money cover up case against former president trump the criminal conviction or acquittal of a former president could really come down to this question. does the jury believe donald trump, a defendant, or michael cohen, the key witness tomorrow? >> jurors are going to continue to hear testimony from michael cohen, the key witness in this case. it was once a self-described quote designated thug, unquote for donald trump. cohen will resume intense cross-examination as the defense argues, that cohen can simply not be trusted just to give you a sense of how the defense set the tone yesterday.

here was trump attorney todd blanche on his very first exchange with michael cohen mr. cohen, my name is todd blanche. you and i have never spoken or met before halfway cohen. we have not. blanche, but you know who i am, don't you? cohen? i do blanche. as a matter of fact, on april 23rd, so after the trial started in the case, you went on tiktok and called me a crying little didn't you? cohen? >> sounds like something i would say unquote apologies for the cursing there, but that's the transcript from court. >> the judge then sustained an objection from the prosecution. the defense highlighted cohen's penchant for serial lying and going over a litany of insults that cohen has unleashed on trump since they became estranged. that includes calling trump a quote, boorish, cartoon misogynist and a quote cheeto-dusted cartoon villain cohen's go response every time he was asked something like, quote, sounds like something i'd say. >> the defense also got cohen

to say he has built up a lucrative business, especially from books focused on criticizing his former mentor and donald trump but before the defense was unleashed on trump's former lawyer, the prosecution had walked cohen through the most important part of the case so far, not what cohen has said but cohen confirming that donald trump falsified business records to cover up the hush money payment scheme to stormy daniel's doing this in an effort to influence once the 2016 election by hiding those payments from the public. >> now, that is the alleged crime that trump is on trial for, and cohen is testifying under oath saying, yes, my former boss is guilty of this of course, it is also true as we will here tomorrow from the defense being under oath has not stopped michael cohen from lying before he has pleaded guilty on a charge of lying to congress in 2018 in this trial, he testified the lies to congress were meant to protect trump. he says, you can believe him now because he was later reformed after a quasi

intervention from his family. so this is a tale of two cohen's and all of that is what this manhattan jury is left to ponder as the prosecution could rest its case as early as tomorrow. let's discuss with lanny davis, former attorney for michael cohen, and crisis management mean specialist. first of all, let me correct something i said because i'd said he lied to congress in 2018. i think i meant 2017. right? that's when he lied, testifying behind closed doors before the intelligence committees investigating ties that trump had with russia. his justification is, i did that at the behest of mr. trump but that doesn't make it any better. >> know all of his lies on behalf of according to federal prosecutors who prosecuted michael cohen, they wrote at the direction that was there were of mr. trump does not excuse the lies, but it just shows that he was at that time of his life doing anything. as i perceived him for ten years,

lying all the time. donald trump the defense drew jurors attention to cohen social media posts and his podcasts and the like. >> dragging trump. he said cohen made money off books dragging trump's name more than $3 million, going testify. that's a lot of money for two books. you've written books. i mean, i didn't make that much. yeah. and that's what got me to this could all come down to whether the jury believes michael cohen or donald trump, both of whom have had their issues with facts in the past why should the jury believe michael cohen and not donald trump? >> so my disagreement is the assumption behind not just you, but everyone that michael cohen needs to be believed for the jury to convict for two years. i've watched the prosecutor, the same team that you're seeing the paired this case with michael in the room? with documents, text messages, and now we know testimony from david pecker from hope hicks, from others and most important, a hot document, meaning a

really harmful document to mr. trump by mr. bison. i know you're gonna bring about let's show everybody the allen weisselberg document. >> if if we can folks because i do, it is important we're bringing that up in a second, but why is that document from asl in weisselberg key because you have called it the smoking gun. >> well, we saw that at the time and i still see that the time because if the jury has any question about whether these were legal fees, which is what mr. trump? he said falsely, or whether they were reimbursements for a criminal payment that michael cohen went to jail for? that's the second issue in the case where they legal fees, as trump says, or where are they reimbursements as michael cohen serwer, there it is this is the document we're showing here. this isn weisselberg. and it's a document that basically comes up with the amount that they are going to pay michael cohen, which is reimbursement for the payment to stormy daniels according to the prosecutors and michael cohen, plus 50,000 more for this other thing having to do with like some

lunch at bogus polling or whatever that's $180,000 times two, so that there's no tax penalty plus $150,000 because michael cohen was upset. he didn't get a good christmas bonus that's in total. that's $420,000. and then it says $35,000 every month from donald trump that is the scheme and we haven't heard an alternate suggestions as to what this is. >> it's taking a number, adding all those things up including the illegal hush money, which federal prosecutors said was politically motivated based on the evidence, is hush money in itself illegal. >> it's if it's politically motivated, yeah, it's illegal. >> and it deprives the american people of information be bright presidential, okay. but the second issue is the tougher issue. and the weisselberg document proves that by taking those numbers in dividing by 12, you don't come up with illegal retainer. you're taking numbers dividing by 12 and repaying michael cohen in part for the criminal money that he went to prison for if they decide that that document

shows that weisselberg knew there were no legal fees on television? i don't know if that's been introduced yet. rudy giuliani said they were reimbursed, reimbursements. yeah. and there's more than enough evidence that they were reimbursements. now it's up to the jury to decide. do we need donald trump to personally look? at the bookkeeper writing down legal expenses, which is fraudulent, or can we conclude? and that's why i use my snow on the ground circumstantial evidence prove a jury uses it's common sense. is there any other explanation? then reimbursing michael cohen's. so do you have $35,000 checks? well, i mean they say the defense says that was michael cohen being paid $35,000 every month because he was on retainer. i know that cohen saying that's that's both a document by document, contradicts that you keep talking about rudy giuliani saying and it calling it a reimbursement. i don't think they've introduced that in trial, at least not that i'm aware of. have they and why haven't they if they have not? >> that's a very good question.

it would be hearsay unless you've got rudy giuliani on the witness stamp, but that's probably something that jury can't consider is rudy giuliani, but everybody knew within the organization that michael cohen was not honore retainer and the federal prosecutors said there was never a retainer agreement, so donald trump has, in recent weeks, been abiding by the gag order. he has refrained from attacking michael cohen. he has refrained from attacking stormy daniels. he has refrained from attacking the jury. he has been doing that. michael cohen has not abided by the request that people have made of him to stop insulting donald trump. he's he's definitely the dial that back a little bit, but even i think it was a week ago, he was seeing wearing a shirt with an image of donald trump in a jumpsuit behind bars at the mar-a-lago jail. there it is have you said to him throughout this process, can you just dial it back or not go after him because that's only going to help donald trump well i'm no longer is right. >> but you're his friend. i misspent i think i can tell you

that he's not going to do that again. now that the child has started, but i do want on his behalf to say there's a difference between a man whose indicted and michael cohen has been attacked, his family has been attacked by trump. he has lived in fear because of trump's. so he's an angry man and doesn't mind calling out trump but as two now, during the trial, i would say it's not a good idea. >> is there anything that you wish the prosecution has had done differently no, i think the summary argument will be my final test to see whether they can make the argument that i certainly saw unfolding when who's in the room and then prepared months after months of preparing him and going through to say to the jury you can change the subject about what the evidence witnesses, emails weisselberg documents speak for themselves, right. >> and change the subject by having this an attack on michael cohen decision by you.

or you can look at the documents and see whether michael cohen is corroborated by everyone. and then judge, whether someone who did admit to lying for ten years and own that lie and expressed his shame for those lies can be believed on this occasion it's up to the jury, miami davis. it's good. as well. we're going to have you on the show tomorrow you know, i'm traveling to visit my son tomorrow. >> okay. well, that's certainly a worthy excuse, but we do like have you there to represent michael cohen. he doesn't have a lot of defenders out there. lady david. thank you so much. and big news in the 2024 raised today, president biden, donald trump accepting invitations for two debates and the very first one is right here on cnn just next month. you got to hear how they accepted the invites. president biden was just asked about the back-and-forth of the white house stay with us adrenaline. just like at every

2024 elite earlier today president biden challenge former president trump to two debates saying, quote, make my day, pal, trump fired back saying, let's get ready to rumble meanwhile, the stage is set for a historically early showdown in an election year after both men agreed to face off right here on cnn on thursday, june 27th, i'm going to get to co-moderator the debate with my colleague and friend dana bash moments ago at the white house, reporters tried to shout questions such as why he won't commit to a third debate and why a june debate? >> but with all the shouting, you couldn't really make out president biden's response. let's bring in cnn's mj lee at the white house and kristen holmes here in studio. she covers the trump campaign for us. first to mj mj. why was biden's campaign so eager to get this on the calendar so early in june yeah. >> what we saw jake was a total smack down by the biden campaign of the presidential debate calendar that the commission on presidential debates had proposed what the

biden campaign said was that this idea that the first debate between the two candidates wouldn't take place until mid-september was just ludicrous. it was too late. it would the after some voters that actually participated already in early voting in some parts of the country. and jen o'malley, dillon saying in a letter to the commission that the calendar shows a series its limitations of the cpd's outdated approach. and this, of course, was not the only issue that the biden campaign took with the commission. the cnn studio, the atlanta studio were the first debate is going to take place in june, is not going to have a live audience canceled the biden campaign had said that the way that these debates were arranged in the past with these large audiences, that they had become spectacles and really a distraction for the viewers who are really trying to learn about the positions of the candidates that are involved. now, one thing we have learned about debate prep is that one person who will be participating is wrong claim. this is of course, the president's former chief of staff and very close adviser. he tells me that he's going to be taking some vacation time to

party dissipate in these prep sessions. the question that we don't know the answer to, of course yet is who is going to be filling in and the role of donald trump, the person that played that role at back in 2020 was bob bauer, the president's personal lawyer, and kristen holmes. >> you follow the trum campaign for us very closely, very well. this all happened rather for quickly. >> how did it come together behind the scenes? >> well, for former president trump, he has made debating biden a key part of his campaign. they passed out notes to surrogates trying to get them to talk about how trump would debate biden anywhere at any time trump has actually been carrying around an extra podium that he puts next to him at his rally rallies to try and mock biden or at least push them into debating because biden had not reactant. so it's not surprising that trump's team jumped on this. now we were told that there was at least one conversation behind the scenes between the two camps, essentially saying that they both agreed that this was it's important to have these debates, but they were not prepared. the trump team for what happened today and

what i've actually been told by some of the senior advisers is that they're a little bit irked at the fact that it seems as though by biden took control of the debate narratives, something they've been trying to hammer home over and over again for the past several weeks and biden got out there first accepted first, but i will let you know in case you were worried, the mud slinging has not stopped yet, donald trump's still on truth, social tacking. joe biden saying he's the worst debater. he's ever gone up again, it can't even string a sentence together. i think we can expect more of that all the way through june an mj. >> so president biden and former president trump have agreed to two debates. the first one here on cnn, the second one over at abc on truth, social, trump said he accepted an offer for a third debate on fox. now how is the white house, the biden white house responding to that offer? >> yeah. they shut that down pretty quickly. jen o'malley, dillon saying in a statement that donald trump has a history of playing games when it comes to these debates. and she said

no more games, no more chaos, no more debates about the debate. so basically the two debates, june 27th and september 10, those are the only two that the biden campaign is going to agree to. and what i think is interesting, jake, is at the biden campaign, clearly, as kristen was sort of referencing here, try to use this debate to get on the offensive. they want it to be the first to say, here are the two sort of approximate date that we are proposing. they're going to be earlier than what the commission in said and sort of force the trump campaign to accept and respond to that offer. and we've also seen moments of the biden campaign's sort of trying to needle the trump campaign as well. that president biden, for example, said earlier in a video, i hear you're free on wednesdays that obviously is a clear reference to the fact that the former president has been spending a lot of time stuck in a new york city courtroom. >> yeah. so one of the things that the biden team did is they said that whoever did the debate didn't need it to be a channel that had hosted republican debates in 2016 and

democratic debates in 2020. and i think that eliminated both fox and msnbc so that's their only four channels left, including cnn. there is not going to be a live audience at these debates. donald trump loves crowds. he loves to play off the crowd. house he reacting to that, i think they wanted to get out there. >> jake and accept very quickly. remember, again, they were making this a key part of their campaign. it didn't want to seem at any point as of donald trump trump was dragging his feet so they did agree to the terms that were set forward. but whether or not donald trump can thrive in an environment like that remains to be seen. we can obviously assume there'll be doing at least some preparation even though donald trump doesn't like to do any sort of preparation at all, but also part of this is going to be how he actually reacts once he's in the room none of us can guess how that's going to be heap. there's a reason he has these big crowds. there's a reason that he always wants to be around a live audience. he plays off of them. he jokes off with them. he gets energy from those, from that audience. so

when you're in a room without that, be very interesting to see how that works. former. >> all right. >> mj lee, kristen holmes, thanks to both you i said anything day again, cnn is going to host the very first 2024 general election presidential debate. i will get to coe, moderate with my friend and colleague dana bash its june 27, thursday, 9:00 p.m. eastern, right here and cnn streaming on macs also on cnn espanol. tough questions for the head of the fdic. that is the agency that regulates banks. he's facing questions today about allegations of sexual harassment as well as discrimination and bullying at the agency, as well as discrimination and bullying as a cultural problem, the confrontation today on capitol hill next hey, you've seen this all right. >> what's the everyone. >> you're telling me you can get directtv got good stuff, and you don't need a satellite dish. i used to love do on my business on those things. one

lawmakers on capitol hill today over the release of a scathing 234 page report describing a culture of widespread sexual harassment and discrimination at the fdic in his opening statement, greenberg apologized for for the toxic workplace culture i accept the findings of the report and is chairman, i take full responsibility to anyone who has experienced sexual harassment, discrimination, or other misconduct at the fdic again personally want to apologize cnn's manu raju is live on capitol hill for us at mano that apology didn't stop lawmakers for calling on him to resign yeah. in fact, you face most of those resignation calls from republicans, even though we faced up my raj of criticism decrats and republicans alike. jake, i want to pause right here because i'm not trying to ask councilman henry

cuellar, who has been indicted on federal charges. sure. about that. go horror comes require three three of your people are ties to just pleaded guilty in this bribery case against you. what's the reaction to that we're not afraid of the truth what's that's what i mean, two of them where you're once a consultant and a campaign chairman who said that funneling bribes two years. like i said, we're not afraid of the truth. >> what about the sixth? it's hundred thousand dollars in payments. well, how did that get in your bank account when he was he resigned? >> well, you resign well, that was separate story. >> of course, jake, this is henry cuellar, a texas democrat, just indicted a couple of weeks back about the about $600,000 and alleged bribes he received from to foreign entities and just about in the past week three of his associates were pleaded guilty, including two bove is top aides to allegedly funneling bribes to him. he has not yet commented on any of this, so i

just had a chance, as you heard, there, try to ask them about this. decided to, of course, not exactly say other than the fact that the he believes a truth will come out, not wanting to discuss this further as he walked in the elevator that are jake all right. >> thank you so much. do you wanna give us a little update there on the fdic hearing at all yeah. >> that's right. so as we were saying in that hearing, the republicans and democrats both laid, made clear there an anger at the fdic chairman over this report that was conducted by an outside law firm finding widespread sexual harassment at this agency and many of the republicans called on him to resign, democrats too. so they did not have confidence in them, and they made clear they let their anger known. take a listen to the fdic is own reporting more than 80% of harassment complaints resulted in zero discipline and when there were repercussions, not a single one resulted in removal reductions in greater pay, or any discipline more serious

that a temporary suspension i'm so tired of white men failing up. but as i sit here right now if i'm gonna be honest, i'm off. i heard people talk about a subset a poll, but i'm off you're on a short leash you know, a lot of people here like to see you gone, to be honest with you and jake, this is an agency that chairman greenberg has led for ten of the past 13 years. joe biden named him to this position for a five-year term. he was sworn in back in january, and there's a reason why democrats perhaps have not gone as far as calling on him to resign. because if he were to step aside, then there'll be a republican vice chair who had lead this panel. this agency, and essentially a level of regulation since that are now being considered under the fdic, could come to us halt. perhaps that's one reason why the white house itself has not gone as far as calling on him to resign. not yet commenting he and his hearing yet, either jake other the senate banking

committee plans to hear from him tomorrow to expect some fireworks. there as well. >> the state of washington, dc 2024, we have to interrupt prompt one report on a scandal at the fdic to bring you an interview in the hallway with a different scandal subject to a congressman who has been indicted, manu raju on top of all of it for us. thank you so much. appreciate it coming up next, the attempted assassination today of slovakia's prime minister shot multiple times. what are official saying about his condition plus why someone might have wanted to come after him in the first place, stay with us when we say it will be on time, they expect it to be on time turned shipping to your advantage. it does expectations with reliable ground shipping thanks, brandon with usps, ground advantage i want a, lot of businesses, so my ten and my network need to keep up. thank you. verizon business now, our businesses get fast and reliable internet from the same network that powers our phones. >> so whatever's next we're

this is cnn, the world's news tapping our worldly today, chaotic scenes as aids rushed slovakia's prime minister into a car after an assassination attempt earlier today, prime minister robert fico was shot five times after a government meeting and is now quote, fighting for his life according to slovak officials, he was initially stabilized at a nearby hospital, then taken by helicopter to a hospital with a higher level trauma facility where he was rushed into surgery. the suspect is now in police custody, seen here after the shooting, slovakia's interior minister says this was quote, politically motivated prime minister fito is considered a divisive figure.

he won his third term by criticizing western support for you, for ukraine. meanwhile, in ukraine, president volodymyr zelenskyy is canceling all upcoming international trips as his country comes under running nude intense attack by russia as us secretary of state, antony blinken tries to assure ukraine that much need of us weapons and ammunition are being rushed to the front lines, announcing another $2 billion in us military very financing before he wrapped up his surprise trip. let's get right to cnn's nick paton walsh on the ground in the north-eastern city of kharkiv and nick, it sounds as though russia made even more gains near where you are. tell us what you are experiencing yeah, look behind me. you can barely see the second largest city of ukraine because of the blackout and it's occasionally punctuated by explosion referred to in the last half hour or so again, this huge city which felt frankly in the first year of the war, 2022, when russian forces were kicked out of this whole area and enlightening move by ukraine

that it had seen the worst of the wall behind it. now, having to get its head around the idea that it's coming back fast the last five days, jacob seen in an extraordinary move by russia on essentially an entirely new front pushing again back from their territory between down towards kharkiv. here are key tanno on the border called vovchansk cosine, lots of the fighting today, ukraine said they had to reposition their troops within that a euphemism basically for a tactical withdrawal that was coupled by local police chief saying eat or gunfire in the streets. clearly russian troops now fighting it out for that particular town. they also say russia, they've got about a double-digits worth of villages and now border area under their control droll now if they keep moving, which sit appears to be the case, then their guns may get in range of here and that will be both a huge blow for ukraine's psyche and also to a big during on already fatigued, you ukrainian resources will is an ascii. yes. you said council this travel there so important to go around allies asking for more aid fast that but he also

reassured ukrainians that the fight and the resources they need to throw it the fight here in kharkiv would not see other losses along very stretched frontlines in the east. in particular, we've seen jake remarkable gains by russia over the past month down near avdiivka in the east. that continues as i speak and a sense here, i think that the delay of that age certainly has left ukraine starved of ammunition in its morale tanked back in december when they learn they weren't going to get that $61 potentially a tall. now it's just delayed. but i think a feeling here that russia has seen a window where ukrainian week, it doesn't have the weapons yet moscow does has the weapons. it does have the manpower and it's using it fast and fierce out towards vovchansk today we have multiple airstrike, some landing near as it is really intense. russia's moves here and they are not stopping jake, nick will ukraine be able to fight back with this ammunition, with these weapons?

>> the question is how fast? i mean, secretary state blinken was antony blinken was in key of the last two days sounding the message of solidarity, trying to remind ukraine that the us is with them fight the feeling that they've had frankly that had been left to fight this by themselves. >> the weapons may start coming into their hands yeah, fine. this week today, but it hasn't materially changed. the speed of russia's advance. and certainly up here in the northern areas, it's flat territory there's not a lot of it until you start getting into an area right here where you could punish kharkiv with its artillery. so that's a key threat now. but the real thing to watch jake is how ukraine in this next month has to spread the thin resources it has across multiple areas of bad news if the weapons will start to come in, but they haven't they haven't been able to hold russia back yet. and there's a danger here. i think too, that while we in the west here that $61 billion is on its way and we hear blinken talk about

solidarity and weapons the more money it hasn't actually turned up. here yet. it hasn't turned the tide here at all. >> and that sense of solidarity hasn't translated into a change of fortunes on the ground until it does. >> ukraine is seeing possibly the worst periods had since the invasion jake, cnn's nick paton walsh on the ground for us and ukraine please stay safe. >> thank you so much joining us now the former printed prime minister of the uk, boris johnson, prime minister johnson you've been to ukraine three. good afternoon, sir. you've been to ukraine three times since leaving office what is your assessment of this renewed russian offense? and do you think this new flow of military aid will be enough for ukraine to push back well, this was inevitable, and yes, i'm confident that the ukrainians now have the money flowing through to enable them to push back very well. >> they've got to have permission, of course, to be able to attack the russian forces as they mass within

russia itself. and i was very interested to hear what secretary blinken said about that. i should say, by the way, how grateful i am as a supporter of ukraine. to america for the $61 it will make a huge difference as you'll shown is rightly been saying unfortunately, it hasn't been able to make a big difference yet, but i've no doubt that it will. in the meantime we were just discussing and you'll show what can be done to help the ukrainians more urgently put the pressure on putin with the 330 billion dollars worth of russian assets that are frozen outside russia expropriate their expert period that give that to the ukraine is that would definitely put pressure on putin right now, making think twice about continuing his vicious, vicious attacks and the other thing i'd say is do something about crimea. give the ukrainians more stuff with

which to imperiled putin's positions in crimea. that's what needs to happen as a conservative, how frustrating wasn't for you to watch the conservatives here in the united states and the congress delay the delivery of this aid. and in some cases, completely opposed it. >> well you know the conservatives were brought church and i understand people's feelings about america has always had a strain of isolationism but i would just say to all my fellow conservatives in the look don't forget that for a tiny, tiny proportion of the annual us defense budget supporting the ukrainians in their fight against a completely illegal criminal, cruel invasion you are helping them to stabilize and pacify the whole

euro-atlantic area. >> because if putin wins in ukraine, believe me, he'll come again for the baltic states, for georgia, for all the areas around the old soviet union that he wants to rebuild, say, it's a massive investment in peace. >> and of course, what you're also do is sending a signal to jiajing pain and china that aggression, trying to change borders by force is not something that the united states of america the oslo of democracy is going to allow to happen easily. and that's a very, very powerful and important message right now. >> an article in this weekend, sunday times, a conservative british papers shed some light on how british politicians are engaged in a quote, stealthy effort to try to convince trump that it is in america's interests to help ukraine to resist russia. the article went on to say that, you had a quote, handful of direct conversations with trump by telephone in the past few months on the topic, what

approach has proven most useful when you have these conversations with mr. trump who is skeptical of continued aid to ukraine well, people say this about the former president, president trump and actually you look at his record who was the guy who actually gave the ukrainians the javelin anti-tank weapons, which was so vital in that initial defensive of kyiv when putin thought that his tanks, we're going to roll in within a matter of days and take the ukrainian capital. it was donald trump who gave the ukrainians those weapons. and you remember in 2014 the obama white house actually didn't really do very much to support ukraine. so actually, the paradoxes that i think don't trump has a good record on ukrainian when it came to the 61 billion to the supplemental and again, i paid tribute to

the united states of america my understanding of what happened is that the president, president trump played a very important role in reassuring congressional figures that this was a sensible thing to do because it was structured as you know, as a alone like the lend-lease loan to britain in the second world war. and my understanding and correct, i've of course, been talking to politicians across the united states about about this issue. and i want to go into the details of it, but my understanding is that the president was very important in that respect. >> i wasn't expecting an fdr churchill lend lend lease reference in an interview, but i appreciate it. lastly, sir, as somebody who feels very strongly about helping ukraine, do you think that president trump or president biden would be better on that? issue look,

it's not for me to i'm a i'm a friendly friendly observer of an supporter of the united states of america. >> it's not for me to get involved in the domestic issues of the election coming up all i can say is that i believe the interests of america, the long-term interests of america are profoundly served by ensuring peace and stability in the euro atlantic area. >> pushing putin back, stopping this act of a criminal aggression but because of the message it sends to potential aggressors around the world and particularly obviously in the whole asia-pacific region. born on the upper east side of manhattan, former british prime minister boris johnson, always good to see you, sir. thanks for joining nice to see you, jay, coming up next is a special report on a friend of the lead who appears often here on the show. >> her battle with cancer, and
