Justice Breyer Retires and The Latest from Ukraine

Season 2022 Episode 8 | 25m 51s

President Biden has been consumed with two major issues: The Supreme Court and the growing threat of a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine. On Thursday, Justice Stephen Breyer announced that he will retire, giving Biden a chance to leave his mark on the court. Meanwhile, on Monday, the Pentagon announced it has put 8,500 American troops on "high alert" for possible deployment to Eastern Europe.
