Impeachment probe, john. >> manu, thank you for bringing us that breaking news. joining us, cnn politics reporter, chris cillizza and political analyst david gregory. david, whats the state department afraid of? i mean, why now? why at the 11th hour, literally, the 11th hour, why are they stopping this meeting that had been negotiated for weeks? >> well, i think theyll say that this is a process fight that they dont like how democrats are going about it. you heard secretary of state pompeo say a...
