Putin Leverages the Iran War in Ukraine; Trump Taps a Real Estate Mogul as New Intel Chief

from Here's the Scoop · host Yasmin Vossoughian, Dan De Luce, Steve Kornacki

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is pushing for more U.S. aid after a series of Russian attacks killed more than 20 people and injured more than 100 others. Ukrainian journalist Illia Ponomarenko joins from Bucha to explain how the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran has given Russian President Vladimir Putin more leverage in Ukraine. Then, National Security and Global Affairs Reporter Dan De Luce explains why President Donald Trump may have tapped Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to be his new acting director of national intelligence despite having no known intelligence experience.
