Washington Today (12-12-23): Pres. Zelensky meets House, Senate leaders & Pres. Biden on Ukraine aid

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington, DC meets with U.S. Senators, the House Speaker and Minority Leader, and President Joe Biden, making the case for Congress to approve President Biden's $60 billion aid request for Ukraine. But Senate leaders say they are still far from a deal on U.S. border security and immigration changes that Republicans say must be attached to Ukraine aid. House Rules Committee passes a resolution to authorize an impeachment inquiry of President Biden, with a full House vote expected Wednesday. The House will no longer vote this week on reauthorizing the Section 702 program of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, after Speaker Johnson's plan to put two different reform proposals up for votes ran into republican opposition who wanted to offer their own amendments. Section 702 allows warrant-less wiretaps of non-U.S. citizens in other countries, but has been controversial because of admitted past FBI abuse that led to U.S. citizens being targeted. The Labor Department's inflation report says prices rose 0.1 percent from October to November, a little slower than the month before. We will hear from Treasury Sec Janet Yellen A Senate subcommittee holds a hearing with U.S. Coast Guard Academy whistleblowers who say they were sexually assaulted and harassed, and the crimes were covered up. Smithsonian Institution Secretary Lonnie Bunch asked at a House hearing about the effort to bring pandas back to the National Zoo.
