Russia's Vladimir Putin is very pleased with the U.S. impeachment hearing, saying "Thank God, no one is accusing us of interfering in the U.S. elections anymore."

Public testimony in the impeachment inquiry will come from a diplomat and three national security officials. And the latest NPR poll takes the temperature on impeachment.

Why does President Trump hold such a negative view of Ukraine? The country relies heavily on the U.S. and therefore has a strong incentive to work with the U.S. president and not to undermine him.

Meet Mike Lofgren, a long-time congressional staffer who describes himself as a political independent. He says the current discourse has turned his notion of a 'deep state' into a 'Frankenstein.'
