Analysis of the week's top stories by the best reporters in Washington. Moderated by @TheAtlantic's @JeffreyGoldberg. Friday nights at 8/7c on @PBS.
- "Peter and I lived through Vladimir Putin's rollback of Russian democracy 20 years ago ... and the time to defend democratic institutions is before they're taken away," says @sbg1. "I don't think that people have really processed how quickly this can happen."
00:00 - .@peterbakernyt: "If you woke up on January 7th of 2021 with the glass still shattered on the floor of the Capitol and the smoke rising and the troops are surrounding the building, and you had said that Donald Trump will be president in 4 years, nobody would have believed that."
00:00 - "It's a really extraordinary moment, we have an out-of-power ex-president who is in effect, dictating American foreign policy on behalf of a foreign dictator or with the interests of a foreign dictator in mind," @anneapplebaum tells @JeffreyGoldberg.
00:00 - .@Yamiche says goodbye as she signs off for the final time after two years of moderating Washington Week.
00:00 - .@JeffreyGoldberg: What would a Ukrainian defeat look like from an American national security perspective? @anneapplebaum: "Defeat means the elimination of the U.S. as a security guarantor for Europe. It means that the U.S. is no longer seen as a reliable ally by anybody."
00:00 - "When you actually look at the documents that they listed in the indictment, there were some documents where even the classification markings were redacted," @hugolowell said. "That speaks to the extent and the sensitivity of some of the material that Trump had kept."
00:00 - "It's very unlikely this was the first time that they were using Signal," said @peterbakernyt. "It raises the questions: ... How much have they been doing this? What kinds of conversations have they been doing? Have they preserved the records? And who else has been listening?"
00:00 - Today, #WashWeekPBS remembers the remarkable life and legacy of Gwen Ifill on her birthday. As former moderator of Washington Week, Gwen made history, broke barriers, and worked to inspire the next generation of journalists. Your legacy still lives on Gwen, happy birthday.
- Is there any proof that President-elect Donald Trump has more sway over Russian President Vladimir Putin than President Biden? @RadioFreeTom: "No, it's probably the other way around. I mean, throughout his first term, Trump seemed genuinely intimidated by Putin."
00:00 - The Jan. 6 committee offered new details on former President Trump pressuring former Vice President Pence to overturn the 2020 election. @MacFarlaneNews tells @Yamiche about his takeaways from the Jan. 6 hearings.
00:00 - "Page 30 of this 38-page affidavit says something we've never seen before, that the FBI argued there were 'fruits of crime' potentially at the residence of a former U.S. President," @MacFarlaneNews tells @Yamiche.
00:00 - WATCH: Locks changed on expelled Rep. George Santos' Capitol Hill office after House vote
