Faira Trial News Today

Number of republicans considering assuring we have a fair trial. this is not a criminal trial, but we certainly do look to what happens in other trial contexts to make decisions about how we proceed. in normal trials, you have interviews of witnesses, and they come and present their version of the story to the jurors so the jurors can hear it firsthand. that would be a reasonable way for us to deal with this set of facts. if im the president and i believe that im innocent, then i dont know what ...

Network he was saying in 1999 on the clinton impeachment trial there should be witnesses there, and so he should follow the advice he was giving then, it was right then and its right now. >> what if there were no trial? senator chris murphy, your colleague, just said earlier on this program that it should be sentis over, they have a constitutional right to a senate trial and it should go over sooner rather than later? is there a scenario where the house s democrats would hold itp indefinitely an...

[ audience reacts ] >> coming up, john dingells wife and political successor, congresswoman debbie dingell, joins me here. and good day, im andrea mitchell in washington where hou...

Comes next in this process. and to clarify this for people because these rules between the house and the senate, its arcane, it can be confusing. look, there were two additional steps that house democrats had to do in order to tee up a senate trial. one was that the house speaker had to name the house impeachment managers, that group of house lawmakers who will basically act as prosecutors on the senate floor. the other thing they had to do was transmit the articles of impeachment. but after the...

Thats not my desire. my desire is to run a trial thats all about the facts. and i remain open to changing my mind if there is evidence that the president didnt do what it seems pretty clear by the evidence thus far that he did. >> senator chris murphy, thanks for being with us today. coming up, reality bites. president trump says he does not feel like hes being impeached, just as the house was voting to impeach him. you heard that right. youre watching "andrea mitchell reports" on msnbc. when ...

As possible. >> what do you think about mitch mcconnell, lindsey graham, and several others saying theyve already reached their conclusion, indicating there wont be witnesses, that it will be very speedy and theyve made up their minds? >> so i think this is a really tricky question. so i havent been shy to disclose my feelings about whether the presidents conduct warrants removal. i think what hes done deserves impeachment and i think it certainly rises to the level of having him removed from of...

When to send the articles over. i would hope she sends them over sooner rather than later. we have to come to a decision in the senate as to how were going to structure this trial. and i think thats really a decision that the senate has to come to. i understand the house may want to have impact on that decision, but it ultimately is our constitutional responsibility. i hope that mitch mcconnell agrees to run a fair trial where we make factfinding the centerpiece of our work. but ive listened to ...

The midterms that flipped the house. it was steve bannon two days ago who said it was bloomberg who flipped the house. to say hes coming out of nowhere, hes not coming out of nowhere, but he has to find some heart to inspire the american people. >> stephanie ruhle, not surprised you got the big interview. >> i do know mike bloomberg very well, i worked for bloomberg news for five years before i came here. >> but also to say that you know what youre talking about when you talk about new york city...

If its just going to be a rigged jury. she has a right to ask that. again the president deserves thatag and the american people deserve that. >> congressman, you think there is going to be a senate trial? perhaps not january 6th, but at some point? >> i hope so. theres an urgency here because the president has invoked the upcoming election, which is affecting our national security and the integrity of the ballot box, but the president has refused to allow witnesses and documents to come forward....

I respect that and again, the speaker is saying we have done the work of the initial investigation, put forward powerful evidence the president allowed no witnesses of the 14 people we asked him to provide to come forward. he sent zero documents. we provided overwhelming evidence he abused his office, but if were going to send these articles over and our managers we o need to know what rules ar and the american people should have who hes blocked in the senate. >> t we understand senator schur is...
