Can one peace deal spark another?; John Bolton vs. the Justice Department

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is in Washington today, pressing his case for a new aid package as the war in Eastern Europe grinds on. The visit comes just as President Trump rides a wave of momentum from his surprise Middle East peace deal, but, can that diplomatic momentum stretch from Gaza to Kyiv? John E. Herbst, senior director of the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center and former Ukraine ambassador, joins host Morgan Chesky. Plus, John Bolton, who once held the role of President Trump’s national security adviser, surrendered this morning to authorities following yesterday’s 18-count federal indictment in connection with his alleged mishandling of classified information. He pleaded not guilty in court. Bolton, the third critic of President Trump to face criminal charges in recent weeks, has called this prosecution “retribution.” NBC News senior justice reporter Ryan Reilly breaks down the case.
