Through changes at the International Court of justice to defend her countrys treatment of writing a muslim. Us democrats have officially revealed to articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump in their bid to remove him from office the articles outlined charges including abuse of power and obstruction of the congressional inquiry where trump and his White House Team accused of withholding aid to ukraine to pressure it and to investigating joe biden a potential democratic challenger in the 2020 president ial race in service to our duty to the constitution and to our country. The House Committee on the judiciary is introducing 2 articles of impeachment charging the president of the United States donald j. Trump with committing high crimes and misdemeanors the 1st article is for abuse of power it is an Impeachable Offense for the president to exercise the powers of his Public Office to obtain an improper personal benefit while ignoring or in injuring the National Interest this gives rise to the 2nd article of impeachment for obstruction of congress here too we see a familiar pattern in President Trumps misconduct a president who declares himself above accountability above the American People and the budget congresss power of impeachment which is meant to protect against threats to our Democratic Institutions is a president who sees himself as above the law we must be clear no one not even the president is above the law. When i was house Correspondent Committee health good is standing by for us but 1st lets go to has your cost her shes live for us on capitol hill and the House Judiciary Committee releasing the formal written articles of impeachment against trump heidi. Thats right and they are 9 pages of very damning charges against the president starting with the accusation that he quote he trade the nation and that he remains a threat to National Security if allowed to remain in office breaking down those 2 articles the 1st being abuse of power this is for trumps conduct in soliciting election interference from ukraine the democrats say was intended to benefit his own chances of reelection he did so they say by using corrupt motives and withholding official acts from the u. S. To ukraine that included withholding security aid as well as a coveted white house invitation for ukraines president and the article lays out that trump did this in order to personally politically benefit from this at the cost of compromising National Security and undermining the integrity of the Us Democratic process and the 2nd article of impeachment obstruction of congress this goes into what democrats see as trumps attempt to cover up what he had done with ukraine by by not allowing members of the executive branch should lie with congressional subpoenas to testify before impeachment investigators and withholding documents the article says that this was directed as an unprecedented defiance of subpoenas from congress and that now it sets up. More it at stake than just Holding Trump accountable and self but also at stake is. The president this and this sets up for future president s of the United States whether or not they can do things without being held accountable by congress and that all comes down to why congress why democrats in congress are pressing forward with this impeachment at such a breakneck speed because there is a president ial election looming in less than a year elizabeth democrats are saying theres simply no time to wait for the courts to intervene on these outstanding legal questions and they must all the president accountable now heidi thank you for the cost her live on capitol hill well donald trump has once again been denouncing the whole process as a witch hunt on twitter lets bring in our white house Correspondent Committee health kits and so the president s strategy and how he engages with the impeachment process very much remaining the same even after the charges are announced kimberly. Yeah the president remains the most vocal spokesperson in terms of his defense today no exception before the announcement of the articles of impeachment and we expect even as that vote takes place likely next week in the house of representatives and the senate trial the president will continue to maintain no wrongdoing in fact he tweeted saying that he has called this not only a witch hunt but ridiculous horrible fraudulent and the phone call he had with ukrainian president letter is a lengthy that that he maintains that there was no pressure in any way in other words he did not try to withhold aid no quid pro quo is a phrase that you hear a lot in washington these Stephanie Grisha of the press secretary for the white house also sending out or formulated response to the announcement by democrats saying this is baseless 2 and a partisan attempt to undermine a sitting president to overturn the votes of 63000000 americans calling again these articles baseless well where does this go it goes into the court of Public Opinion where the polling has been pretty consistent that americans are divided along party lines whether or not the president should be impeached with while notable exception the president won it to win the white house and 2016 in 3 key battleground states wisconsin michigan pennsylvania and in those 3 states it appears support for the president has actually gone up as a result of this impeachment inquiry the president has to be a master marketer it appears hes doing that again in fact hes not even wasting any time we know that in the coming hours he will be heading to middletown pennsylvania where he will continue to make the case to his supporters that he has committed no wrongdoing committee thank you for that Committee Help it live in washington d. C. Well staying in washington and us House Democrats have announced a revised north American Free trade pact House Speaker nancy pelosi called it a victory for American Workers following a year of negotiations democrats had been demanding mexico to trenton the enforcement of labor noise they made to offer.

Has barred from entry the saudi diplomat who headed the kingdoms istanbul consulate when journalist was murdered mohammad that a baby who was the saudi consul general has been accused of Human Rights Violations mood inside the consulate spot to global criticism against saudi arabia and the cia and some western governments have said they believe crown Prince Mohammed bin sandman ordered the killing the official say he had no role lets get more on this now correspondent jane is joining us live from washington d. C. So how serious an action is this against the former saudi consul general and why is the u. S. Taking this action now. Well they say its because its International Human rights day so what they did is they looked across the globe and they decided to say these 2 individuals are being one of them what does it do absolutely nothing that they hadnt already done to him because hed already been sanctioned under the global magnitsky act which took his assets if you had me in the u. S. Told him he couldnt come in the country until the americans that they can do business with them so what is this new designation do it basically says him and his family cant come to the u. S. He already was allowed to come to the u. S. The more significant question is why the u. S. State department decided to look all across the globe and human rights abuses and name just 2 people including this Saudi Arabian citizen this is a story the murder of democracy that really has disappeared from the headlines people are talking about it we know the trouble ministration is really pushed so that people would move on they have gone against congress in any sort of sanctions of saudi arabia because of the killing so interesting that the state department decided to put him on this list even though its not going to have any real world impact perhaps sending a different kind of message or i pad to thank you for that finale that is the latest live in washington d. C. Thank you. Now.
