LESTER HOLT: Garrett, President Biden also faces a new hurdle in Michigan related to next week's Democratic primary. What can you tell us?
GARRETT HAAKE: That's right, Lester. A movement among the state's sizable Arab-American population, including progressive Congresswoman Raschida Tlaib, to vote “Uncommitted” in that primary as a protest against the Biden administration's support for…

KRISTEN WELKER: Well, let me ask you this. The report described President Biden as a, quote, “elderly man with a poor memory”. Do you think the White House should allow the release of the full transcript without claiming executive privilege for the sake of transparency, Senator?
SEN. AMY KLOBUCHAR (D-MN): You know, that is going to be, again, up to the president and his lawyers, but I've got to…
CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD: You can't keep saying there's a threat to democracy and democracy as we know it is going to be gone, but not act like it.
JON KARL: Right.
CHARLAMAGNE: And the other problem is they've always done this with every single Republican candidate. Since I have been alive, whoever the Republican candidate has been gets demonized. It doesn't matter who it is. It doesn’t matter…
ROBERT COSTA: Nikki Haley has been tough. She has been a longtime ally of yours, not so much anymore. Her son, her adult son, Nalin, has referred to you as “Judas” for endorsing former President Donald Trump. What's your response to Nalin Haley and to Nikki Haley, who has not really disavowed that comment, though she's kind of shushed her son from time to time?
SEN. TIM SCOTT (R-SC): Well,…
DAVID MUIR: And we do begin tonight with that stunning moment in court. The high drama playing out in Georgia late today. The prosecutor who brought the case against Donald Trump and his alleged co-conspirators taking the stand herself to defend herself. The dramatic moment when D.A.

KENT: Another hurdle for the Biden campaign, voter concerns about his age- again a focus after special counsel Robert Hur's report questioning the president’s mental fitness.
It called President Biden a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. Do you agree with that?
YELLEN: I absolutely disagree with that. I work very closely with President Biden and I’m often with him on foreign trips.…
LESTER HOLT: Peter, you also have new reporting this evening about President Biden's interview with the special counsel, Robert Hur.
PETER ALEXANDER: Lester, President Biden became heated, you'll remember, responding to the special counsel's assertion that he could not remember within several years when his son Beau died. Last week the president criticized Hur for asking him about it. …
LESTER HOLT: Now to the economy and a rough day for the markets. The Dow falling more than 500 points after inflation slowed last month, but not as much as expected. The January Consumer Price Index rose 3.1%, still far from the Federal Reserve's target. Our senior business correspondent Christine Romans is here to explain what drove the surprise.
