On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: US officials believe Russia is engaging in obfuscation regarding Ukraine. The US maintains the threat of an invasion remains strong. At the same time, in the battle against the Omicron variant, cases and deaths in the US are down, but the Covid-19 Response Team remains unconvinced the virus threat is over. There is an ongoing investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe, in which Hilary Clinton's name has now been thrown into the fold. Senior Editor at the Federalist and Cofounder of RightForge, Christopher Bedford, joins to tell us more about this. Meanwhile, Republicans and Democrats are in open conflict over several of President Joe Biden's nominees. And, the Vatican is set to study the relationship between priests and lay people.
