Kushner on Ukraine:
“President Putin's laid out his line of what he wants to achieve. If Ukraine, you know, wanted to withdraw to that line, then obviously, you know, we have the rest of the deal set up and put together. Ukraine right now does not want to do that.”

Heinrich: Is ICE going to be raiding polling places?
Homan: "I have not seen any operational plans…They don't want ICE near polling places, don't want voters ID, don't want observers. What are they hiding? There is no plan for enforcement action at polling places."
