Testify. written answers, not acceptable. now, remember, donald trump himself provided written answers to special counsel robert mueller in the 2016 russian election meddling investigation. joining me now, national security lawyer bradley moss. bradley works for the law firm representing the whistle-blower who initiated the impeachment inquiry. bradley, good to see you again. there seems to be a relentless effort that is meant to lead to the whistle-blowers identity being made public. >> yeah. t...

Basically articulating the trump defense and, that is, theres nothing to see here. nothing done wrong. the revealing testimony, chris, that weve had over the last week, two weeks, has come from officials that we hadnt heard from before. so fiona hill. mr. sondland over at the state department. those are people that had basically been silent. at this point, though, we know what perrys version of events are. so i dont know how much more officials on capitol hill will learn based on what he testifi...
