CNN host Jim Sciutto repeatedly clashed with CNN political commentator Brad Todd in a debate over Trump's Department of Justice moving to drop charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams and the Ukraine war. 

"This is normal," Todd said, referring to the resignation of several U.S. attorneys. "Every time a new president is elected, the U.S. attorneys are removed from their jobs." 

"It's absolutely normal," Todd said. 

"They didn't do that after a change in the administration, they did it in protest to this decision," Sciutto said. 

"They know they're going to get fired," Todd responded, later asking Sciutto after multiple interruptions: "Are you asking questions or are you on the panel?"

In another discussion on the Ukraine War later in the same hour, Sciutto and Todd disputed former President Obama's legacy as the war continues between Russia and Ukraine. 

"No Jim, that's false," Todd said. "Barack Obama let Russia keep Crimea after they invaded Crimea. He did nothing to stop it. That's just a false assertion." 

"I understand you're not willing to criticize anything President Trump will say," Sciutto said.
