Putin Says Vote For Joe!
The Russian President says he wants Biden, not Trump, in the White House.
Love is in the air鈥r is it? Vladimir Putin expressed his preference for the next American president on Valentine鈥檚 Day - but critics suspect there might be more to his endorsement than meets the eye. His comments come in the wake of Donald Trump鈥檚 disparaging declaration against NATO and that Russia should 鈥渄o whatever the hell they want鈥 to countries that don't pay up.
And after our emergency episode on Special Counsel Robert Hur鈥檚 report on Joe Biden鈥檚 handling of classified documents, we respond to your questions about how, if at all, President Biden could be removed from office.
