see first here on out front. massive reeducation effort. it s a damning report, saying some of them are up for adoption, others being trained now to join the military. let s go out front. good evening, welcome to a special edition of out front. i m erin burnett. we begin with breaking news, tonight for trump s former chief of staff mark meadows subpoenaed by the special counsel investigating the former presidents attempt to cling to power. of course, remember, meadows helped lay the groundwork for trump s election lies, which ultimately feel the outrage and violence that we all saw on january 6th. he was literally by trump side during the insurrection itself. much more on that in just a moment because there is so much breaking developments here tonight. we also have other breaking news this hour from the justice department. we are learning that the special counsel investigating trump s locked now in at least eight secret court battles. the special counsel jack smith tryin
even questioning how this came to light. merrick garland was getting creamed in the pr war as trump repeatedly slammed the search as a break-in, but the attorney general felt he couldn t publicly respond. so justice department officials made hair case through leaks their case through leaks which violate the rights of a potential defendant who hasn t been charged with anything and may not be. they made garland s case from a behind a curtain of anonymity. a poll-up piece in the washington post cited people with direct information. as an ethical matter, the leaks are indefensible. i m howard kurtz, and this is mediabuzz. howard: ahead, we ll question senior white house adviser gene sperling on the fierce debate over the president forgiving college debt for millions. that new york times story triggered a media explosion, especially the part about donald trump repeatedly holding on to documents so sensitive they could only be seen in a secure government room and a deep s
price tag of $300 billion and that that s a low estimate. taxpayers like you and me will fit the bill. here is the president. i believe my plan is responsible and fair. i find it interesting how some of my republican friends who voted for those tax cuts and others think we shouldn t be helping these folks. the outrage over helping working people with student loans is simply wrong to. it s unfair to people who paid the student loads or chose not to take out loans? is it fair to people who do not own multi-million-dollar business is seeing these guys get tax cuts? is that fair? what boat people who struggle to pay their loans and no others don t have to? the costly cancellation of debt sure to unleash a tidal wave of anger from americans who already paid off their loans and those who never went to college in the first place. senator elizabeth warren claims this will help everyone. because of student loan debt there are many people who do not move out of their mom s
general, this is what you say. genocidal campaigns, and they re taking over children, young children, training them for the military, training them to be russian, indoctrinating them. what does this day to you? well, it tells me the russians are trying to eliminate the culture of ukraine and subjugate the ukrainian population. but more importantly, erin, it is a war crime. it s a direct violation of the fourth geneva convention relative to the protection of civilian persons in a time of war. it specifically violates protocol 1 of the convention, which talks about women, children, civilian medical personnel, and special protection for german, for journalists, i m sorry. it is what we ve come to expect from russia. as a former soldier, i saw many things in combat that were horrid and disgusting, but this is despicable. as a father and a grandfather, it is evil, inhuman, and unimaginable.
