Spicer thanks for joining us in washington the battle between the white house and Congressional Democrats intensified on friday 3 Investigative Committee subpoenaed secretary of state mike pump for documents related to the controversial phone call between President Trump and the president of ukraine. But trump is hitting back he says a whistle blowers claims about that phone call are inaccurate hes accusing the democrats of trying to steal next years election by conducting what he calls a witch hunt and he says that spies are behind the allegations and we can discuss where things stand now with all of our solider washington correspondent this is all moving very fast help us push the pause button here and understand the latest would you absolutely making as you just mentioned secretary of state mike pompeo has been subpoenaed together with 5 other state Department Officials over a variety of documents related to the ukraine phone call that he so far has refused to hand in the is also being threatened by with obstruction charges if he does not comply with the subpoena now at the center of the subpoena is the roll off of President Trumps private lawyer Rudy Giuliani he allegedly had several meetings with ukrainian officials in the past and that of course is illegal because it does not include the wide tells in the government and therefore things that have been said and done in these meetings can be really controlled and recorded the assumption then right now is that the secretary of state or the state Department Must have known about these meetings with the big question of course if might even have been an accomplice to President Trumps alleged wrongdoing and how is the government responding to the democrats demands is it being overall cooperative. Well President Trump in particular has responded in his old fashion he took to twitter countless times he called this all a witch hunt and a hoax as he is always done it with every allegation against him in particular right now hes trying to question the credibility thats his line of defense off the whistleblower but it weve also heard some very shocking words from him at a press availability in new york at the United Nations just yesterday where he in fact to the Death Penalty he called the whistleblower a traitor and a spy even though whistleblowers are protected by law in the United States and you can hear some concern here even within republicans right now some senators and governors have voiced serious concerns that something is unraveling here even within the Republican Party and just how is Public Opinion in the United States reacting to all this well today weve witnessed a significant change in the in the Public Opinion really just a week ago a great majority was actually against impeachment proceedings right now it seems the country is very much split over that question so things are moving really fast here and that might also be part of the democratic strategy because they know they cant win and cant really impeach donald trump at the end the senate has to say the final verdict in this is hold by the republicans but they know they can dig up many damaging material against the president and also damage his reputation among the voters ok thanks for that.
