So, Kerry, what is the cost of all of this turmoil?

So, Carrie, the Supreme Court said in an immunity case last year that a president has absolute control over the Justice Department.

How is President Trump using some of that newfound authority?

A spokesperson for the European Commission says a lot of work remains to be done regarding Ukraine peace proposals.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters that President Trump's 28-point plan has changed since discussions between the U.S., Ukraine, and European countries began over the weekend in Geneva.

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadipur characterized the talks as a decisive success for Europeans.
