2020 candidate. We expect President Trump will address the impeachment inquiry and the memo of his july phone call with the president of ukraine. Thank you for watching. Deadline white house with Nicolle Wallace begins right now. Hi, everyone. Its 4 00 in new york where we are moments away from the first president ial press Conference Since House Speaker Nancy Pelosis announcement that she would begin Impeachment Proceedings into donald trump. And, donald trump, if youre listening, everything yo...

It is 12 00 in new york. Were following what has already been a dramatic day of testimony on capitol hill from two key witnesses, former nsc Senior Adviser fiona hill and current u. S. Diplomat david holmes, both witnesses raising alarms today about the conduct they witnessed between the Trump Administration and ukraine, namely the conditioning of both military aid and a white house meeting on a commitment from the ukrainians into those investigations designed to hurt the bidens, a Smear Campaig...

Only hearsay witnesses, folks who werent on the call, we already had the schedule that there were witnesses who were listening to the call who would be coming to testify in the next few days. so you have seen -- and you could see it coming down the line, this evolution of talking points and evolution of the republican defense. thats why i mentioned the other pillars. the only one i didnt mention would be the throw rudy under the bus defense. gordon sondland made it very clear he wasnt going to g...

Congressman, as we hit here right now, russia is still attacking our democracy. the next day he picked up the phone and made that call at the heart of his own impeachment. >> this is exactly what the russian government was hoping for. >> one quick point on this because chuck is the most fair minded, elegant, and balanced man i know, and i would say that is the most generous reading and we have evidence that donald trump understood quite well and that giuliani on may 9th saying im donald trumps d...

Loves your" bleep, ew. who would make that up? >> its very bleepable. if you remember the complaints about hillary clinton using an email server, im certainly not justifying that, but here you have a call on a cellphone, lots of discussions about sending emails and texts, but this is one where youve heard from everyone who is in ukraine, you worry about everything being tapped. so one of the interesting things going through my mind is, why isnt the president and ambassador sondland worried about...

That, whatever you can do with the attorney general of the united states would be great. biden wednesday around bragging, it goes on. he comes back to it later in the same call notes, mr. giuliani will give you a call, ill also have attorney general barr call, we will get to the bottom of it. added to this very incriminating information, as you say, is the testimony of the people who were involved, at the top, in the middle, and even now in kiev, the people who happen to be in a restaurant, not ...

Person and isnt that right where your information comes from. and taylor says thats correct. and thats the kind of muddying the waters, making it clear that a lot of these conversations that these people are testifying to are second-hand or third-hand and theyre going to hope that that clouds the information that weve all seen. >> thats why trump probably doesnt really want mulvaney to go up there or john bolton. >> or mulvaneys chief of staff or deputy at the office of management and budget. so...

Policy, but theres less well-defined kind of evidence that the president himself did some of this. and the call with the president of ukraine notwithstanding, there are some pieces of that. but the republicans are pretty confident, if you talk to them they were somewhat kind of back on their heels a few weeks ago. they feel much more optimistic now that they can poke enough holes in this that at least in public opinion -- they still assume the democrats will go ahead and impeach the president, b...

Discussing with him first? is there anyone at the department of justice taken the kind of steps those in the state department were forced into taking, taking contemporaneous notes and raising red flags about inappropriate behavior? those are oech questions. we have had people who have testified but no one yet from the justice department. we do know william barr has generally viewed his role of attorney general to be that of personally defending and protecting the president politically. remember ...

The call with the president of ukraine and barr refused. i dont know why but one idea might be is because part of that would be barr would have to take live questions from reporters about his role in the whole ukrainian extortion scheme. quote, i would like to have the attorney general call you or your people and significantly, quote, theres a lot of talk about bidens son, that biden stop said the prosecution so whatever you can do with the prosecution that would be great? so did william barr ev...
