Overview

• CNN's Jim Sciutto confronted GOP strategist Brad Todd over President Trump's approach to the Ukraine-Russia war and his pre-negotiation concessions to Russia.
• Trump recently claimed to have initiated negotiations with Putin and Zelenskyy, proposing a ceasefire but suggesting Ukraine may have to cede territory to Russia.
• Todd defended Trump's stance by criticizing former President Obama's handling of Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea, calling it the 'original sin' in the conflict.
• Sciutto highlighted concerns over Trump’s willingness to let Russia retain invaded territory, a move unprecedented since World War II.
• The discussion also touched on the DOJ's controversial decision to drop a bribery case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams, which led to multiple resignations of federal prosecutors in protest.
