The Last Word With Lawrence ODonnell

don't have any statement of attribution for who is behind these except for the fact that israel has been vowing to respond here. again, i have to say, we still don't know who or what caused these explosions in these three locations. we have been working on this feverishly for a matter of hours now and we will continue but at this point, the u.s. and the israelis are not saying anything and even iran, while acknowledging there have been explosions, is not saying who or what is behind them. >> courtney kube, pentagon correspondent, thank you for that. we will come back to you as the story develops. joining us now is been roads who served for president obama. he is a political analyst. ne, on the issue of attribution, will the united states issue a statement of having nothing to do with it possibly?

national security officials that must be available at all times to brief the president on any contingency, on any crisis. now, there is a deputy secretary of defense, kathleen hicks. she is very capable. doesn't really answer the question. secretary austin is a very private person, i'm sure. i'm absolutely sure. he wanted to maintain his health privacy. but he is a public figure, he is a top figure and is reporting out tonight here in washington that even some members of congress and members of the national security council did not know for several days at the secretary of defense was in the hospital. that's unprecedented. there's going to be a lot of questions. all right, well, tonight, we will leave it there but barbara starr, long—time pentagon correspondent, as always, great to talk to you. thank you.

Katy Tur Reports

their value is, katie. >> lisa and vaughn, thank you very much. let's go back to news of yevgeny prigozhin. josh letterman and pentagon correspondent, courtney kube. i understand you have reaction from inside of russia. >> that's right, katy. we've now heard from a telegram channel that is associated with the wagner group that now says that they have confirmed that he died in this plane crash. they are calling him a victim of traitor within russia calling him a patriot for russia. we still don't have definitive confirmation of that, but that would seem to throw cold water on this theory that we'd heard from some wagner-associated groups in the past few hours suggesting that he might have been on a second plane and could potentially still be alive, but in the meantime, reaction now coming in throughout social media and on television from ukraine including from a close adviser to president zelenskyy
