And seeking justice for their loved ones the new push to see if war crimes were committed in afghanistan. Welcome to the program 3 legal experts called by u. S. Democrats have testified that president trunk committed impeachable offenses a 4th scholar invited by republicans says the evidence is insufficient trump is accused of abusing his power to push ukraine into investigating his political rival joe biden castro reports now from washington d. C. You swear or affirm under penalty of perjury some of us constitutional scholars have weighed in the President Trumps ukraine scandal is an impeachable then nothing is and professor gary hart did President Trump commit the impeachable high crime and misdemeanor of abuse of power we 3 are unanimous yes the 3 law professors call by democrats running in unison alarm bells that the countrys democracy is under threat by the president s actions what has happened in the case today is something that i do not think we have ever seen before a president who has doubled down on violating his oath to faithfully execute the laws and to protect and defend the constitution this president has attacked each of the constitutions safeguards against establishing a monarchy in this country in the simplest possible terms the president put his personal game ahead of the National Security interest its better to be on t. V. Than by a whole. 4th scholar said if trump had tried to force ukraine to investigate a political rival in exchange for military aid it would be impeachable but the scholar wednesdays sole republican witness testified the case against trump has not been proven this would be the 1st impeachment in history where there would be considerable debate in my view not compelling evidence of the commission of a crime more than a dozen white house and state department professionals have testified that trump used the power of his office to pressure ukraine to open an investigation into joe biden a potential political rival in the upcoming us president ial election the House Intelligence Committee drafted a report saying there was overwhelming evidence for this including trumps own words in a phone call with the president of ukraine thats not politics as usual at least not in the United States or not in any mature democracy trump. The law professors called by democrats represents the liberal left but he declined to testify himself and refused to send white House Attorneys to represent his case for innocence what theyre doing is a very bad thing for our country its of no merit and the Republican Party has never been more unified ever trump is counting on republicans who control the senate to acquit him of wrongdoing in an eventual impeachment trial how do you castro aljazeera washington her lichtman is the former u. S. Justice Department Official and the host of talking feds podcast i spoke to me earlier and i asked him what happens next i think things were divided along partisan lines in the clinton impeachment but everybody understood the facts and the need to confront but here only one side seems to see this as important and grave how how will it proceed from here i expect you know its just along party lines as it did for during the overwhelming presentation of facts before the Intelligence Committee and the republicans i think are telegraphing their content to make it a procedural circus and not to take it seriously and if they do it that way and particularly in the senate the democrats efforts to make it a serious National Sort of civics discussion are limited the pentagon says a u.

To be about something of their victory and Financial Issues as all of this particular one. I thought if the voices of reassurance were left sounding a bit thin. Always been able to overcome these differences and then unite around the record toss to protect the Founding Fathers and thats exactly what to do today the question it all raises is central to what nato is and what it exists for what happens to an alliance built on collective defense when that collective commitment that spirit of unity isnt just solid as some would like it to be nato member turkeys president richard tired earlier on earlier demanded that the kurds abandoned by trump in Northern Syria be recognized as what he called terrorists or hed veto the Alliance Efforts to bolster eastern defenses against russia this was a threat that represented a fracturing of natos central accord is what trump and macron do seem to agree on but many others dont that russia is no longer the enemy it was and while nato is focus has widened to include china Cyber Security hybrid warfare the alliance cant hide from the difficult truth that multiple challenges mean multiple conflicting interests undermining the unity theyd come here to celebrate going to aljazeera at watford north london russias president is accusing the u.
