3:45 pm
green light to all of his top aides to cooperate with the committee. you will hear those voices on thursday, including live testimony from his former chief counsel. this is the lawyer who was at pence's side throughout it all, as donald trump and those outside lawyers were trying to pressure him to use his power, power that he didn't really have, to overturn the election. >> all right, jon karl with us tonight. jon, thank you. in the meantime, we turn to the war in ukraine tonight, and to a major development in the battle for that key city in the donbas. all of the bridges in that critical city in the east have now been destroyed tonight. this is a victory, obviously, eaern raine.nom of severodonetsk all but cut off. satellite images show the last of the bridges to ukrainian-controlled territory smashed by russian shelling.
