Tonight, straight from the source. President biden urging the world not to grow weary on standing with ukraine, but that might be a tougher sell in washington. The republican chair of the Foreign Affairs committee is here with me. Plus, what a central witness in the Trump Classified documents case has now reportedly told federal investigators. Something that the expresident apparently urged her not to tell them. And if Rudy Giuliani did not have enough legal problems already facing him, they just got a lot worse. He is now being sued by his own attorney. Im kaitlan collins, and this is the scource. In a rare visit to the United States, ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy is issuing a blunt warning about russia, saying that evil cannot be trusted. He was speaking today to World Leaders at the United NationsGeneral Assembly here in new york in person, but its not clear if all of the World Leaders who were in the room or even some republicans in washington got that message. This is what zelenskyy told wolf blitzer about what is on the line in this fight. We hear their voices on the front line, and we hear them, and they are demotivated. The russians are demotivated. They are afraid of us. And all putin wants now, all things he wants really to push United States, to change the minds of society, to push eu partners to change the mind of the people of eu countries. He ensure that only by propaganda, he cannot win. He cannot to lose this war. President biden is also here in new york where he sought to rally other World Leaders behind ukraine, urging democracies to stand by their core principles. Russia believes that the world will grow weary and allow it to brutalize ukraine without consequence. We have to stand up to this naked aggression today and deter other wouldbe aggressors tomorrow. If you were listening closely to President Bidens speech today, that message was not just intended for the World Leaders and the diplomats who are gathered here in new york. That impassioned plea was also intended for lawmakers back in washington, where some republicans on the far right are fighting against more funding for ukraine. That is only part of why we could be just 11 days away from the federal government running out of money. The Republican Party is so far apart right now on agreeing on how to fund the government, House Republicans were even voting against their own defense bill on capitol hill today. That almost never happens. House speaker Kevin Mccarthy is working furiously to keep his Party Together but also to keep his job. All of this is happening as president zelenskyy is set to visit washington later on this week. Tonight one of the key republicans who is not only meeting with the ukrainian leader but who is also on the front lines of fighting to keep the government open is here with me. Lets get straight to the source with the chairman of the house Foreign Affairs committee, texas congressman michael mccaul. Congressman, thank you for being here. President biden says the u. S. Will continue to stand with, quote, the brave people of ukraine. But a vocal faction of your party is saying no to more money. Do you think your party will eventually vote to pass another aid package to ukraine . Well, i do think the majority the majorities in both house and Senate Support this effort. Well be meeting with zelenskyy on thursday. That will be House Republican leadership. But i think we also need answers. I mean to have a supplemental dropped on us, we need to know a lot of members want to know what is the plan for victory . Why arent we putting the weapons into ukraine that they need to win rather than a slow, bleeding survival rate that was counterproductive to the counteroffensive . So i think you have republicans wanting to support this but seeing the administration not really managing it very well. And they also want to make sure that our nato partners are paying their fair share of the price tag on this. But a lot of the republicans who are voicing opposition to funding more funding for ukraine arent making those conditions. Some of them are, people like Speaker Mccarthy is wanting to know where its going. But several of them are not. Theyre not saying they have questions. Theyre just saying no more funding, period. Right. And i think thats still not in the majority. But i will say that i think it is in our National Security interest for ukraine to win. But we need to see a plan, and perhaps congress should be drafting the plan for victory. And i think thats one of the bigger issues here is that we dont want a long, draggedout war. Putin wants a war of attrition, and thats what hes getting right now. And the longer this drags out, the more difficult its going to be because he knows he can drive the will of the American People down and perhaps our european partners. I want to see ukraine win because it has enormous stakes from a National Security standpoint. Will it directly impact how chairman xi and china views taiwan. We have the greatest threat to the pacific, and if we dont get this right, were going to find ourselves having to commit u. S. Troops, which so far we havent had to commit one u. S. Soldier. Well, given that, congressman, when Speaker Mccarthy was asked today about committing to another round of funding, this was his answer. Is zelenskyy elected to congress . Is he our president . I dont think i have to commit anything. I have questions for him. Wheres the accountability on the money we already spent . What is the plan for victory . I think thats what the American Public wants to know. Youre talking about the majority of the majority supporting this. Does that sound like a House Speaker to you who does want to pass more funding for ukraine . Well, the speaker, i know, supports our efforts in ukraine. But hes raising questions that we hear from our conference, you know, all the time. I think were going to meet with zelenskyy. I certainly support, you know, this effort. But i think as this war drags out, there are more and more questions from our members about what is the plan for victory . Why arent you putting the weapons in necessary to win rather than to just survive . This counteroffensive has not gone as well as we had hoped, and we dont want a long, draggedout war of attrition. But the white house and Jake Sullivan have taken the slow walk in terms of weapons systems. Why arent they giving the atacms that could hit crimea . I dont understand that. Ive been a strong critic about this. Im going to support ukraine because its the right side of history, and the right thing to do, but there are mounting and growing questions within our party and our conference and questions that quite frankly deserve answers. I also want to ask you about this deal that was made to bring Five Americans who were wrongfully detained in iran home. We saw their families celebrating, crying as they were finally able to greet them and to hug them. Do you think this was the wrong deal . Thats what were worried about because, well, first of all, to unleash and unfreeze these sanctioned assets, 6 billion to the largest State Sponsor of terror, you know, the Jcpoa Under Obama was only half a billion dollars. Now were pouring 6 billion into the Islamic Republic of iran that they will then and i was told for humanitarian purposes only. But now we hear from the president of iran that its going to be used for any purpose they want. That would include their terror proxies, whether it be hezbollah, hamas, shia militias, all throughout the middle east. Since that time, youve seen iran kick out a third of the ii iaeas inspectors out of iran, and now the saudis are questioning whether they should be doing this deal with israel. Its having a direct impact. And, kaitlan, to be honest with you, our Chief Negotiator is now under investigation for the mishandling of classified documents. And we still havent gotten to the bottom of that. But on the assets themselves, theyre frozen iranian assets that were in south korea, that theyre essentially unfreezed. Its not like its u. S. Money thats going to this. The white house says they will have strict oversight of it. All of this is separate from iran but back to ukraine. What were seeing happening where you on capitol hill right now, this fight over funding the government. House republicans today were even voting against their own defense bill. Is all of this all of the fight that is happening over spending and funding the government really worth jeopardizing Service Members paychecks . No, i dont think so. I agree with you. I think in the 20 years ive served in congress, ive never seen the rule brought down on a Defense Appropriations Bill. I think its disrespectful to our active duty, to our veterans and our current Service Members. They deserve better than this from congress. Its a good bill. And you know whos enjoying this more than anybody, kaitlan, is chairman xi and china. He often says to the president tsai of taiwan or he says it to us, you know, democracy doesnt work. Democracy is a failure. I can make a decision like that, and i am more effective than democracy. And what i worry about is we just proved him right with this vote today, taking down the rule on a Defense Appropriations Bill that is desperately needed. Im a conferree, but if were going to authorize but not fund our department of defense, were putting ourselves in jeopardy and emboldening our adversaries, which i would say, you know, this ukraine thing is tied to that as well because youre talking about iran putting drones in ukraine. Now putin is begging kim jongun, panhandling for weapons and money, and hes aligned with so why is your party so dysfunctional . Why cant they get these spending bills passed . Its a handful. But theyre able to take down potentially not funding the government. I think against the will of the American People. Youre talking about five members that dont represent the conference in my judgment. They may have their own reasons, but i dont quite understand it, and i think its dangerous because our adversaries are watching. And when they see Something Like this take place on the house floor, it only emboldens our adversaries. It does not strike any fear into them. And thats dangerous. I want to follow up with you on something you said recently about the Impeachment Inquiry that has just been launched into President Biden. This is what you said for our viewers who didnt hear that. With respect to Foreign Policy decisions the president may have made or Vice President at that time with respect to money coming in to try to tie the two, we dont have the evidence now. But we may find it later. Congressman, are you acknowledging that you do not have the evidence against President Biden . If so, why pursue that Impeachment Inquiry . Why not just have the committees that were having these investigations continue to do so . Why take this next step if theres not evidence to back it up . Well, i think there is i think theres predication, enough predication to open an investigation into that. What do i mean . 20 million in wire transfers going to hunter biden and possibly family members. Its not just me. The judge, the federal judge threw out the plea agreement, which is almost unprecedented, based upon the amicus brief of the irs you know, the whistleblower that talked about how his leads to the family were cut off by higher levels at the Justice Department. Thats not supposed to happen at justice, and thats why the federal judge did what she did. Its also why Merrick Garland has now appointed weiss as a Special Prosecutor to investigate but we havent seen anything tied directly to President Biden. Thats the issue, i think, people have raised. Well, its too early in the investigation. I mean the Justice Department has decided to open this investigation. The federal judge thinks its warranted. But not into President Biden. Hunter biden is separate from this. Im saying any evidence directly tieing it to President Biden. Thats the Impeachment Inquiry is into President Biden, not hunter biden, as you know. I worked at doj for many years. I worked on the Johnny Chung Case where he had all this money coming from china into Shell Corporations and then laundered to go into the president s reelection. This is nothing new, whether it be china or russia. The money i mean when youve got that kind of money going into Shell Corporations that have no legitimate purpose, that automatically raises an alarm and a flag. And i think it warrants an investigation not just by the Justice Department at the behest of the federal judge, but also by the congress. Still no direct evidence to President Biden. We will wait to see obviously. Up next tonight, there is brandnew reporting from the New York Times on a key witness in the Trump Classified documents case. This is a longtime aide to the former president , who worked for him in the white house, traveled with him to maralago, and now apparently has been talking to federal investigators and has told them something he did not want them to know. Plus, Rudy Giuliani already struggling with his mounting legal bills. Now his former longtime lawyer wants him to pay up. That meann still feels hehealthy and smooth now. Now. And now too.

A close aide to former President Donald Trump, who followed him from the white house to maralago, has now reportedly told investigators that he wanted her to apparently lie to them, or at least certainly not tell them the truth. Molly michaels was trumps assistant in the white house and after his presidency. And the New York Times is reporting tonight that trump wanted her to say that she didnt know anything about the boxes containing classified documents that were found at his florida resort and taken with him when he left office. When he learned that federal officials wanted to speak with her, he told her, according to the New York Ti
