FIONA HILL

The following is a transcript of an interview with Fiona Hill and Chris Krebs that aired Sunday, Dec. 11, 2022, on "Face the Nation."

J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff, and more, will appear on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" this Sunday.

"People's sense of the civil and civic ways of resolving disputes" is "out the window," Fiona Hill told Insider, warning of the potential for "civil conflict."

"In this country, we don't do that," the vice chairman for the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time said. "It's not who we are."

The Jan. 6 congressional hearings have paused, at least for now, and Washington is taking stock of what was learned about the actions of Donald Trump and associates surrounding the Capitol attack.

Putin's frustration over Trump's poor understanding of geopolitics played into Moscow's decision on the timing of Russia's war in Ukraine, Hill said.

Former Trump advisor Fiona Hill said Putin smelled "almost like he had stepped out of some special preparatory bath" when she met him.

As Russia has escalated its invasion, the U.S. and its allies have escalated sanctions. The sanctions, however, won't stop Russian tanks.

Thanks to his skills at the influence game, Putin knew how to "soften up the enemy" — and get a swath of the U.S. public cheering for him.

Is he choreographing madness and threats of a nuclear holocaust to frighten the West? Or does Putin know precisely what he’s doing? The questions are reasonable, but ultimately unanswerable. There is a data point, however: Russian and German scientists at Moscow’s aptly named Research Institute of the Brain in 1925 sliced and diced 30,953 sections of Vladimir Lenin’s cytoa

There's one unsung group the Russian president "probably has to worry about," the former National Security Council analyst said.

"So if anybody thinks that Putin wouldn't use something that he's got that is unusual and cruel, think again," Hill said.

Donald Trump's former Russia advisor, Fiona Hill, was critical of his approach to dealing with Russia, saying he was driven by self interest.

For much of his political career, Joe Biden has watched democracy expand in Europe.

Fiona Hill, a Russia scholar who has served in the past three U.S. administrations, is offering a sober assessment of the Ukraine crisis.

The Kremlin has become a top destination for European leaders spooked at the prospect of war in Ukraine.

Rarely in recent years has the Kremlin been so popular with European visitors. French President Emmanuel Macron arrives Monday. All are hoping to get through to President Vladimir Putin, the man who singlehandedly shapes Russia's course amid its military buildup near Ukraine and whose designs are a mystery even for his own narrow inner circle.

Russia’s decision to send paratroopers into Kazakhstan, where a crackdown on violent anti-government protests has left dozens dead, injects additional uncertainty into upcoming talks over a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Russia’s decision to send paratroopers into Kazakhstan, where a crackdown on violent anti-government protests has left dozens dead, injects additional uncertainty into upcoming talks over a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine. The question is whether the unrest in Kazakhstan has changed the calculations of Russian President Vladimir Putin as he weighs his options in Ukraine. The instability in Kazakhstan may even add new urgency to Putin's desire to shore up Russia's power in the region.

A year after the violent assault on the U.S. Capitol, the United States is split in nearly every way.

From Dr. Anthony Fauci to Sacha Baron Cohen, the year's most popular Fresh Air web pages reflect the show's strength as a place where artists, authors and journalists speak to the moment.

New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu and New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy appear on "Face the Nation" Sunday.

The biggest foreign policy challenge for President Biden is coming not from Asia, but from a more traditional nemesis, Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

"You've got to take it seriously because Russia has crossed the Rubicon many times before when people said they wouldn't," one expert warned.

Steele argues that it's largely inconceivable that his report contained Russian disinformation. But his defense is too neat and tidy.

Even the president’s closest allies are alarmed that he’s not making voting rights a front-and-center issue.

Fiona Hill, a former National Security Council official, served as a key witness in the 2019 Trump impeachment hearings.

In her new book, Fiona Hill lays out her experiences as the Russia adviser in Donald Trump’s White House and the circumstances behind her riveting congressional testimony in Trump's first impeachment.

Vladimir Putin paid scant attention to Fiona Hill, a preeminent U.S. expert on Russia, when she was seated next to him at dinners. Hill expected not to be similarly invisible when she later went to work for another world leader, Donald Trump, as his Russia adviser in the White House.

Fiona Hill was a key witnesses at Trump's first impeachment hearing. Now she's warning about the threat to American democracy that comes from within. Her memoir is There is Nothing For You Here.

Fiona Hill wrote that women faced unique challenges working in Trump's White House because of an overt emphasis on physical appearance and style.

Richard Grenell, who would go on to become Trump's Dir. of National Intelligence, also accused Fiona Hill of being "Anonymous," according to her book.

Hill wrote in her memoir that she was "busted" by Ivanka Trump walking into the room in stilettos and "flashing me a look of surprise."

He attacked Obama, Bush, and Clinton "for failing to do something or simply for being 'idiots'" and claimed "success for himself wherever they had failed," Hill wrote.

According to details from a new book by Trump's former press secretary, Putin tried to distract Trump at a 2019 G20 meeting in Osaka.

Trump is famously averse to germs and sickness, and Putin is often accused of trying to unsettle other world leaders at their meetings.

The fall book season will be packed with new works by such high-profile authors as Jonathan Franzen, Sally Rooney and Colson Whitehead.

Did Putin get 'exactly what he wanted' out of Biden summit?

Navalny was poisoned with Novichok, a Soviet-era nerve agent.

On the eve of the Biden-Putin summit in Geneva, Navalny's chief of staff is in Washington talking to American officials on confronting Vladimir Putin.

Hill said Russia was ruthless in terms of its pursuit of intelligence and indifferent to any damage inflicted in the process.

Biden is preparing to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for the first time as president on June 16.

After some European countries blocked access to Belarusian airlines after officials arrested an opposition journalist on a commercial flight, NPR asks an expert about Putin's support for Belarus.

But Trump’s imprint on America’s place in the world — viewed as good or bad — will not be easily erased. U.S. allies aren’t blind to the large constituency of American voters who continue to support Trump’s nationalist tendencies and his belief that the United States should stay out of world conflicts. The national security and foreign policy staff that he has named so far are champions of multilateralism. The United States has pledged to pull all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by May 1, just months after Biden takes office, but it's unclear if he will. IRANIn 2018, Trump pulled the United States out of the Iran nuclear deal, in which world powers agreed to lift sanctions on Tehran if it curbed its nuclear program.

Then it became an assault, a riot, an insurrection, domestic terrorism or even a coup attempt. The language used by the American media to describe last week's Capitol siege proves one thing whatever your perspective: Words matter. Phrases like “mob,” “riot” and “insurrection” were appropriate, noted John Daniszewski, vice president and editor at large for standards. There was no riot, insurrection or storming” at the Capitol. The New York Times, Washington Post, CBS, NBC, ABC and CNN have all used riot to describe the day.

Experts say its going to take months to kick elite hackers widely believed to be Russian out of U.S. government networks. The hackers have been quietly rifling through those networks for months in Washingtons worst cyberespionage failure on record. Experts say there simply are not enough skilled threat-hunting teams to duly identify all the government and private-sector systems that may have been hacked. Many federal workers — and others in the private sector — must presume that unclassified networks are teeming with spies. The Pentagon has said it has so far not detected any intrusions from the SolarWinds campaign in any of its networks — classified or unclassified.

WASHINGTON Fiona Hill, a key witness in President Donald Trump's impeachment inquiry, is going to be sharing her views about the future of a polarized America. The New York-based Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Books & Media announced on Wednesday that it has acquired a book by Hill, former deputy assistant to the president and senior director for European and Russian affairs on the National Security Council at the White House. Senior editor Alex Littlefield acquired North American rights to the book from Andrew Nurnberg Associates, based in London. Hill's book, titled There Is Nothing for You Here: Opportunity in an Age of Decline," is to be released in the fall of 2021. She said she joined the Trump White House because she shared the Republican presidents belief that relations with Russia needed to improve.

Fiona Hill, the president's former top adviser on Russia whose testimony was central to his impeachment inquiry, says Russia knows how to exploit our society's divisions to put Americans on edge just where its president, Vladimir Putin, wants us. "But the Russians understand a lot of those divisions, and they understand how to exploit them." The disillusionment and anxiety caused by the broadening divisions are exactly what Putin wants. "Putin, sadly, has got all of our political class, every single one of us, including the media, exactly where he wants us," Hill says. Asked whether the U.S. and Russia are in another Cold War, Hill replies, in part, "There is no ideological struggle.
