Ukraine, marie yovanovitch ousted in may by donald trump who would later tell the president of ukraine, quote, she is going to go through some things. with the bombshell in todays proceedings came from trump himself when he attacked yovanovitch anew. it was another smear against a veteran diplomat who served the united states for more than 30 years under six presidents four of them republicans. and while we dont need to dignify the presidents invective by repeating it or showing it here, we want...

Witnesses who could exonerate him, who were directly in communication with him, like mick mulvaney or john bolton, he should allow them to come testify. the fact that hes blocking them from testifying, i think, means that they cant help him. >> if, by the end of this, the testimony thats scheduled so far, if there has not been a breakthrough moment or an a-ha moment for a lot of people, could you foresee an extension in which you wait to go through the courts to see if you can get bolton to test...

And democrat, calling their senators, i think to say i care about this. >> one of the refrains from the republicans, obviously, has been and was today, look, this is essentially a hearsay or you heard somebody say this, or you heard multiple people and that youre interpreting what they said, its how you feel about something. its not the president of the united states said to you face-to-face. >> well, the presidents call record, the transcript, is an admission by the president. that would be adm...

Described as this simple story of holding up military aid for the corrupt demand of dirt on political rivals? >> the presidents call record confirms that he was asking the president of ukraine to investigate his political opponent. thats not really in dispute. but i think ambassador taylor describing being on the eastern front of this war in ukraine and that this is a matter of life and death, and as he said undoubtedly more ukrainians would die if security assistance was not given to them. that...

Trying to question the voracity of witnesses who werent in the room with donald trump. do you see any sort of exposure in terms of the case that youve built with the more than dozen witnesses that you have so far? and will there be a renewed effort to get people like mick mulvaney and john bolton in front of your committee? >> well, they would also then have to question the voracity of the presidents own call record where he never misrepresentations the words "corruption" never says "burisma" bu...

Question and we have established a straight, sharp line between the president and rudy giuliani. we have multiple witnesses who have told us that the president told them in the oval office on ukraine, talk to rudy. we have the establishment of rudy giuliani as the presidents lawyer so there is an agency relationship there. so any act that rudy takes on behalf of the president is an act for the president. lawyers do not act outside of their clients wishes and also what rudy giuliani was doing for...

None of them talked to president trump about this ukraine scandal, wouldnt it be good to have somebody whether ambassador sondland or rudy giuliani or mick mulvaney, somebody who had talked to trump about this? >> this is just a first week of public hearings. were going to have more. if you look at the witness depositions, sondland talked directly to the president a number of times. but beyond that, we have actual call record of july 25th between donald trump and lizzinski talking about military...

The podium during that terrible press conference. those tweets are definitely kind of eyebrow-raising. "what are you talking about?" a little bit. when you have this much evidence, i dont think it impacts the inquiry at all. >> melissa: are sort of agree with what shes saying and sense that we all know what happened. the question is, do we think its worth reversing an election? >> harris: of course we know what happened. thats on one side. on the flip side, you got adam schiff, the house until c...

Action activities, why would a call record that the president would have the country believe was perfect, why would it be hidden in this classified system? clearly the white house does not want him to testify. they do not want the american people to know why mr. eisenberg or others made that decision. i think we can infer that the reason they dont want the public to hear from mr. eisenberg is that it would tend to corroborate allegations against the president. but thats the very reason we want t...

Obstruction of our constitutional duties. these witnesses are significant and the white house understands theyre significant. based on the testimony the committees have already received, we know that these witnesses, those that were in the law office of the national security council, those who worked for mulvaney either in the chief of staffs office or the office of management budget are firsthand witnesses to allegations of serious misconduct, both vis-a-vis the suspension of military aid and t...
