Rep. Ro Khanna said his office alerted the U.S. embassy in Israel of his visit to the West Bank, where he said he was detained by Israeli settlers, but Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Dr. Michael Leiter tells Margaret Brennan, “There was not an alert. There was a question about visas, that is all.” He adds, “When we requested he coordinate the trip with us, he rejected that by basically staying silent. So, that’s unfortunate. This whole incident is unfortunate.”

Rahm Emanuel says his speech criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Tel Aviv University was more than criticism — he says he “laid out a plan that gets out of Israel being a pariah.” “It went from technological prowess to a territorial pariah,” he tells Margaret Brennan. “And for a small nation, that's not survivable. In 22 years, it will be 100 years old. You cannot survive like this.”

When asked about the recent settlement that prevents the IRS from auditing any Trump family tax records, Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) says President Trump “obviously had claims that he brought against the government as a result of” the Biden administration. “I think when it comes to any agreements that the president has made with the IRS, from my vantage point, you know, I think looking back at what the Biden administration did,” he says. “They certainly weaponized the government and were targeting the president.”

![Former Biden administration senior advisor Amos Hochstein says he supported last summer’s Operation Midnight Hammer, in which the Trump administration struck Iran’s nuclear facilities, because “we had thought internally in the Biden administration we may have to take [strikes] if there was a second term.” “We did war games. We did some practice runs on what it would look like to look into it, because that may have had to happen under our watch as well," he says.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2045909658892702104/amplify_video_thumb/2045909611891380224/img/tdMJuSgWU-M91qO2.jpg)

Former Vice President Mike Pence says he has “certainly seen evidence” of the Trump administration deliberately whitewashing the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, but says “an effort by some to rewrite” the history of that day won’t work. “Particularly, I was offended on the anniversary of January 6, when the White House put out a timeline that literally blamed Capitol Hill police for the riot that took place that day,” Pence tells Margaret Brennan.

When asked whether Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner passes the “character test,” after CBS confirmed reporting that Platner's wife told his campaign about sexually explicit texts he sent to other women, Sen Chris Murphy (D-CT) says Platner has lived a life of service to the U.S., but “also made mistakes and he has admitted that.” “I think this is going to be a pretty clear contrast in Maine between somebody who has spent his life protecting us versus somebody who seems to be protecting Donald Trump's corruption,” he says.

.JD Vance says he thinks the child tax credit "should be bigger" than it was under the Biden administration, suggesting a credit of $5,000 per child. "I think you want it to apply to all American families. I don't think that you want this massive cut off for lower income families, which you have right now. You don't want a different policy for higher income families. You just want to have a pro-family Child Tax Credit.” Asked if a Trump-Vance administration’s policies would also apply to gay families, Vance says, “All families would be included, of course."
