Synopsis
In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, Vice President JD Vance defends Republicans' push to redraw congressional maps after Texas approved a plan that could add up to five GOP seats. Vice President JD Vance joins Meet the Press in an exclusive interview after FBI agents search the home of John Bolton, a former national security adviser to Donald Trump and now a staunch critic of the president. In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) calls President Trump's summit with Russian President Putin "a failure," arguing that the region is no closer to peace. In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says the Russians "want peace in Ukraine," even as Russia launches one of its heaviest bombardments in weeks. In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismisses reports that a Russian strike in western Ukraine hit a U.S.-owned factory, injuring at least 15 workers. In an exclusive interview with Meet the Press, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says, "Putin is ready to meet with Zelenskyy when the agenda would be ready for a summit," but adds that Moscow does not believe those conditions have been met — contradicting the White House, which has said such plans are underway.
