priscilla alvarez is at the white house, so priscilla, what kind of responses coming from the white house? >> well, the white house is continuing to ramp up its pressure on republicans and particularly putting a focus on house republicans. because as you heard there from katelyn, the senate passed a foreign aid package with those $60 billion in additional aid to ukraine, but it remains stalled in the house which has been on recess. but today, the national security adviser, jake sullivan, went a step further and called out house speaker mike johnson by name the reality is that putin gains every day that ukraine does not get the resources it needs. and ukraine suffers. and there is a strong bipartisan majority in the house, standing ready to pass this bill if it comes to the floor? and that decision rests on the shoulders of one person. and history is watching whether speaker johnson will put that bill on the floor. if he does, it will pass, will get ukraine what it needs for ukraine to succeed if he doesn't, then we will not be able to give ukraine the tools required for it to stand up to

i want to go to mj lee at the white house for us. mj, any reaction from the white house? >> reporter: no official reaction from the white house or the white house counsel office, the office that the white house typically refers all questions, including earlier today, relating to this investigation. they of course have known that this was going to be out any day now, because remember, the white house counsel office did have a time to review the investigation in full for any matters of executive privilege, which he decided not to exert. i know that you have been talking about the two major headlines, which is that no criminal charges are being brought. but also, that despite that decision, the investigation uncovered evidence that the president willfully retained and disclosed classified materials. i think there is also a potentially very damaging political headline that we really need to take a beat to talk about, as well. and that is, simply put, that the president is an elderly man with a bad memory. if you look through the report, and i am just still going through every

now here, the white house is trying to take matters into their own hands. now, the republican pushback here might be, look, you've had this the 30 all along, but what the white house is trying to make clear is that nothing quite equates to what would be in legislation because this action, if the white house moves forward with it will likely also be challenged in court. and the president making clear that he is open to shutting down the border. take a listen to what he said last month it also, give me as president emergency authority to shut down the border until it could get back under control. if that bill or the law today, i'd shut down the border right now and fix it quickly. >> all of this, of course, as president biden faces a tough reelection campaign and former president donald trump makes immigration a key part of his campaign going into november, are persil, i want you to stay with us. i also want to bring in our political and legal experts to assess what's going on. kate bedingfield, i'll start with you. this move would likely provoke fears backla
