CHRIS CUOMO, CNN ANCHOR: A very big night for the country. And when President Trump delivers his first State of the Union Address, he's expected to call for more military spending and likely discuss achievements in the war on terror. What will he say about America's longest war, the one in Afghanistan? That country is reeling from a series of deadly terror attacks. It is hard to make the case that there is victory on that ground. CNN's Barbara Starr live at the Pentagon with more. Barbara.</s>BARBARA STARR, CNN PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Chris. If the president wants to say he's winning in Afghanistan, that may be a tough sell right now. Three attacks, as you say, in Kabul in a week, devastating to the people there. Raising real questions about whether that government can provide real security to its people. This now comes as an independent auditor for the U.S. government has been told by the Pentagon it can no longer publish data about how that war is going. Crucial data about how much of Afghanistan is under Taliban insurgent control or influence. It's data that's been published for years. It's a key indicator of how the war is going. The Pentagon now says no more. The American taxpayer people cannot know that information. So we went to a different Pentagon report. And what we found was that by the end -- at the end of last year, 40 percent of Afghanistan's population, 13 million people, still, after all this time, under insurgent control or influence. Data very hard to come by in the coming weeks about Afghanistan. The Pentagon does not want to have it published. But here's some data for everybody. America's longest war, it is now reaching $1 trillion, 2,000 Americans killed, over 20,000 Americans wounded in that longest war.

So the House Intel Committee voting to release that controversial Republican memo that alleges surveillance abuses by the FBI. Will President Trump make this report public? That's next.
