Regarding the rules of the future impeachment trial in the senate and whether senate majority leader mitch mcconnell will allow witnesses to testify. senate minority leader chuck schumer tried to negotiate with donald trump via tweet. he wrote donald trump, if you are so confident that you did nothing wrong, why wont you release the emails and that witnesses testify under oath? democrats wish list includes former national security adviser john bolton and acting chief of staff mick mulvaney. cong...

Now, lisa murkowski infuriating democrats but also republicans choosing a moderate republicanie for the lt and shes in an interview this week that mcconnells comments disturbed her and have further confused the process. while some democrats praised pelosi p for holding onto the article, others are ready to get things moving. >> my strong feeling is that we will avoid any unnecessary delay. we should move forward with purpose. >> tonight, just a few hours ago, senate majority leader chuck schumer...

Should testify. the thing we kept hearing at the beginning of the story is this story is so much more simple than the mueller report. i am not sure we are still there, if you have not been following this minute to minute. but i do think this question of whether or not people should be allowed to testify is simple and is much easier to put to a voter. >> very few things are simple in the trump era. and thats because he likes to have control over situations like this which are especially hitting c...

I dont know how long you want this impeachment to go on. if you wouldnt show up in the house, why would the white house ever allow people to show up in the senate? if the court did compel them, im not sure their lawyers would advise them to answer questions. to me, i think a lot of people want to go through this exercise to drag this out. but the result is going to be what its going to be. the president is not going to be removed from office and the american people are going to decide how they f...

Witnesses or not, but which witnesses. and in that vote, that was kind of split along party lines. but there were enough democrats that said we ought to hear from miss lewinsky. so there were three witnesses. so thats not what mitch mcconnell is talking about right now. hes being a little disingenuous. >> when you look at the senators who could be persuadable. its really about the question of witnesses more than the highest bar that exists which is removal. which none of the previous presidents ...

If he claim that is the call was perfect and they did nothing wrong, then why isnt he going to testify? this is not like a criminal trial where the defendant cannot testify and the prosecution cannot call the defendant. thats because this is a civil matter. trump has no fifth amendment privilege in term of refusing to get up on the witness stand. he has to get up if hes called. >> oh, wow. >> and if hes testifying, theres no way he can talk himself out of this. thats the problem that the republi...

Trying to make his voters feel they, in fact, are the real target. some evidence? >> it doesnt really feel like were being impeached. the country is doing better than ever before. we did nothing wrong. we did nothing wrong, and we have tremendous support in the republican party like weve never had before. nobodys ever had this kind of support. the people are trying to impeach us for doing all of the things that theyve wanted to do for so many years. >> we? us? hmm, well he tweeted this just afte...

Theres no doubt about that because it happened on live tv. but hes now spinning this hard, trying to make his voters feel they, in fact, are the real target. some evidence? >> it doesnt really feel like were being impeached. the country is doing better than ever before. we did nothing wrong. we did nothing wrong, and we have tremendous support in the republican party like weve never had before. nobodys ever had this kind of support. the people are trying to impeach us for doing all of the things...

Very special christmas music surprise a little bit later. >> thats going to be good. >> president trump is spending the holidays at his florida estate. the president is expected to speak with troops serves overseas in a video call in about an hour. but his impeachment trial looms and congress is stuck in a stalemate. chuck schumer, the top senate democrat, is still pushing for documents and witnesses with real information. this comes after new emails raise questions about how the aid to ukraine ...

Zelensky trial, there was a hold put on money going -- money going to ukraine. we didnt even have that information. so house counsel themselves raised the notion that there could be more impeachment and indeed it looks like the president could indeed, since he thought he has done nothing wrong, continue to commit impeachable offenses. >> so before we get to perhaps additional articles of impeachment, we still have the existing ones your body recently passed. and speaker pelosi saying these not g...
