In our news wrap Friday, the Biden administration says overseas travelers to the U.S. will no longer have to test negative for COVID-19 within a day before they fly after the CDC determined the requirement is no longer necessary, the U.S. and other Western Hemisphere nations announced principles for handling migrants and refugees at the Summit of the Americas, and fighting raged in east Ukraine.

The Jan. 6 congressional committee is set to lay out its evidence in detail starting Monday after a dramatic opening night. In primetime Thursday, the panel accused then-President Trump of an attempted coup. In turn, the former president went online today to deny he urged supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol. Amna Nawaz reports.

Opposition to the select committee is nearly unanimous from House Republicans, who've attacked the work as illegitimate and politically motivated. Indiana Rep. Jim Banks was House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's pick to serve as ranking member on the committee, but Speaker Pelosi blocked his appointment. Banks, one of the most vocal critics of the Jan. 6 panel, joins Lisa Desjardins to discuss.

For more takeaways from Thursday night's hearing, we turn to a member of the Jan. 6 select committee, who also served as the lead impeachment manager in President Trump's second impeachment trial. Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin joins Judy Woodruff to discuss some of the revelations from the first public hearing on the Capitol insurrection.

As the war in Ukraine grinds on its fourth month, the fight for the eastern Donbas continues. Relentless Russian shelling and Ukrainian counter-strikes have laid waste to vast swathes of the region. As William Brangham reports, the daily struggle for those still there, and their loved ones who have left, is immense.

New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart join Judy Woodruff to discuss the week in politics, including how the country is reckoning with the fallout from Jan. 6 after the House select committee held its first public hearing on the Capitol attack, and the continued debate over gun safety legislation after a spate on mass shootings.
