12 subpoenas, six witnesses, 53 hours of testimony so far. and were not even a month into the impeachment inquiry. that torrid pace not expected to slow this week. in fact, it could be the opposite. our colleague heidi przybilla reports, "house democrats are zeroing in on a framework for their impeachment case against donald trump that quote multiple sources involved in deliberations say will distill into a simple abuse of power narrative involving his alleged misconduct related to ukraine." ano...

Thats troubling? >> absolutely. there are lots of things that weve seen that are troubling. we saw yesterday mick mulvaney who came out and explicitly talked about a quid pro quo. not that a quid pro quo is necessary in something like this. everyone tries to make this out like a criminal case. its not a criminal case. its an impeachment case. the conversation that the president had with the president of ukraine was very troubling. >> why? whats wrong with it? >> he said it was perfect. >> yeah. ...

Moments to make their impeachment case. and each of them ignoring the trump administrations demand for many of them not to show up. but theres yet another straw added here to that camels back. also thursday, the white house said the presidents struggling doral resort would now be the next venue for the next g7 meeting. this ignores critics charges that he is padding his own pocks and violating the emoluments clause. perhaps the worst week ever and weeks like this are starting to have an effect...

Did mulvaney open himself up to a possible subpoena for testimony? then just 16 hours ago, mulvaney added to the controversy on ukraine. he missed a key friday subpoena deadline to turn documents over to congress. energy secretary rick perry did the very same. also, ignoring a congressional subpoena for documents that were due friday. this was just after this week he surprised some when he announced he would resign amid allegations of wrongdoing in this ukraine case. and then theres more adding ...

Face. i think just stepping back from all of this t my only concern, honestly, is that there is also evidence. we already know that the president of the united states, and there is a transcript showing that he tried to get dirt on a potential opponent from a foreign power. and we also know that that is impeachable. thats an impeachable offense. the more complex this becomes, the more we go into rudy giuliani and john bolton and all these other characters, it builds up a case potentially for impe...

Need to hear from fiona hill today to build their impeachment case? >> fiona hill is not a central part of this -- of this query. but she is somebody who can support some of the claims that democrats are making. essentially that donald trump and rudy giuliani were doing this operation and going around the officials within the white house and the state department to try to set up this sort of shadow diplomacy with ukraine that was built around pressuring them and to investigate corruption, meanin...

Looked on as more of an ally to this white house. what exactly does congress expect from him? >> well, in the fact that sondland was a major trump donor and was again thought of as an ally makes the fact that he is coming back here now under subpoena all the more important in and of itself as well. here, once again, you have someone still a member of the trump administration essentially flouting that letter that the white house sent to congress last week saying that he will, in fact, show up to ...

Biden, wanting that you crane prosecutor to be fired and really trying to push that issue , and so how involved he was, how involved that rudy guiliani was in this whole push to ask ukraine to investigate the bidens is very important to their impeachment case. >> but back to the two men who were arrested they were born in ukraine back when it was part of the soviet union they are now businessmen in florida, and they were arrested on charges of apparently funneling money to a trump campaign which...

Investigating hunter biden, because these were, these two men were arrested because there was some question about whether the money they donated to a pro- trump superpack was not, they werent really able to donate that and so those were the charges they were arrested on. granted because they are ukraine born, now american citizens, i do believe, and living in florida and working with guiliani there is going to be a lot of muddying there perhaps as we have some more investigations and subpoena th...

The charges they were arrested on. granted because they are ukraine born, now american citizens, i do believe, and living in florida and working with guiliani there is going to be a lot of muddying there perhaps as we have some more investigations and subpoena there will be more information that cops out but as of now theres no direct connection but as i mentioned earlier, the more that democrats and joe biden can show that things are being very disfunctional and maybe some shady dealings going ...
