President trump and zelensky. sources say she had concerns about the content of that call. whats unclear is how far up the line she raised those concerns internally. but theres an understanding she had concerns. also another element key. she was with the vice president in the september 1st meeting in warsaw between pence and zelensky. it was after that meeting when eu ambassador sondland said he explicitly told a top aide to president zelensky that u.s. aid to ukraine nearly $400 million, was co...

Investigation specifically of his political rival or he was holding up this aid, but that he wanted this, not that he ordered it, just that he had said to them talk to rudy. does that keep trumps hands clean? >> not at all. you can put the dots together. obviously trump would have had to be the one to tell the defense department to hold up the aid. he might not have told zelensky im going to hold up the aid. he might have said id like a favor, id like you to do something, but he let zelensky kno...

Other people? who would those people be? would they be witnesses who have said no to congressional subpoenas to give a more loyalist take, if you will. think about this as the building blocks. theyre trying to make the case what happened. the democrats say it was corrupt and abuse of power. what happened comes from bill taylor. there was an irregular foreign channel of u.s. policy making with ukraine one that included volker, sondland, rick perry and mr. giuliani. to your point, the democrats ca...

Military aid was linked in some way to what they were trying to do in terms of leveraging an investigation with ukraine. i wouldnt be surprised if you hear over and over again in the public hearings did president trump ever tell you he held up aid for this reason? did you hear this from the presidents mouth? i think were going to see that line of questioning. >> that is why the inside the white house witnesses, could they get john bolton, mick mulvaney, colonel vindman? is there somebody who has...

Message loud and clear for everyone to hear. [cheers and applause] >> just days after air force one left lexington. >> president trump: if you lose, its on the really bad message. >> im sure you will all be writing about the history that was made in kentucky. >> kentucky and virginia might not be presidential battlegrounds next year, but pennsylvania should be. they lost for the first time since the civil war. democrats believe the common denominator is donald trump. >> its about patriotism and ...

Though a number of white house officials continue to stonewall the request to defy subpoenas and not show up behind closed door, something that adam schiff says could be used as evidence of obstruction of congress. >> lets see how those mount up. manu, thank you so much. so it is easy to get bogged down in the hundreds of pages of transcripts that were already released from these closed door interviews. but do not lose sight of a key part of the story that is unfolding here. at the core of it, w...

And poroshenkos willingness then as president to, perhaps, help shut down the mueller investigation and to -- to make it harder to go after paul manafort. there appears to be more of a clear linkage in that area, but its not necessarily clear that this was something that the president was asking. the united states president was asking in exchange for the missiles. and so thats the part thats less clear. whether or not it was just something that poroshenko was offering. >> so we can see all the d...

Essentially, that those things might have been linked or might have been decisions made by the same people? >> theres reporting by andrew kramer who is, you know, gotten the best information on this that suggests that if there is a linkage, its, perhaps, a linkage between the willingness to provide the javelin missiles and poroshenkos willingness then as president to, perhaps, help shut down the mueller investigation and to -- to make it harder to go after paul manafort. there appears to be more...
