The evening edit starts right now. Liz welcome to the show. Youre watching the fox business network. The latest update on impeachment. Chad pergram on capitol hill with more. Chad . Reporter good evening elisabeth. We have two emerging items regarding impeachment in the past couple minutes four committees investigating impeachment for the house of representatives announce they will send over Additional Information to the senate as part of the impeachment inquire rye. Were sifting through some of those documents much the other news flash, the House Speaker said at 10 00 eastern time she will roll out the impeachment managers prosecutors who present the case to the senate. Well find out who they are tomorrow at 10 00. Probably sometime early in the afternoon, a short debate a vote to send the articles of impeachment to the senate. Probably late in the day tomorrow they will actually walk the articles of impeachment over to the senate. The Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell indicates they will have the opening day, kind of bookkeeping, House Keeping to start the senate trial where they present the articles of impeachment to the senate on thursday morning. The big lingering question on capitol hill is about witnesses. Here is Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell. Well be dealing with the witness issue at the appropriate time into the trial. And i think it is certainly appropriate to point out both sides would want to call witnesses that they wanted to hear from. So when you get to that issue, i cant imagine that only the witnesses that are democratic colleagues would want to call would be called. There is little or no sentiment in republican conference for a motion to dismiss. You really got to wonder, what the definition of a fair trial is. Reporter now democrats, especially in the house of representatives are insisting there be witnesses. Here is Hakeem Jeffries of new york. He is the chairman of the House Democratic caucus. The senate should conduct a fair trial, a fair trial involves witnesses and documents. What is the president hiding from the American People . If it was in fact a perfect call, we should hear from mick mulvaney. We should hear from john bolton. About that july 25th phone call. And the geopolitical shakedown. Reporter we dont think they will get to the heart of the debate in the senate trial until next week or later. The other thing that is going to be interesting, just how long this trial lasts. Again, four of the jurors are democratic president ial candidates. Democratic senators. We think that the trial will probably upend some of their campaigning in both New Hampshire and iowa. Elizabeth. Back to you. Liz were in historic times. Chad, thanks so much. Great to see you. A senate trial could possibly start next week. The democrats push now to delegitimatize the Senate Impeachment and the trial there. On the senate floor, Senate Leader Mitch Mcconnell ripped into House Speaker nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer saying House Democrats wanted to impeach trump from day one. They failed to prove their case. Theyre looking for the senate to pick up the ball. It is senates job to judge the case, not help them make it. Joining me now republican mike johnson of louisiana much he is a member of the house judiciary. Listen about Mitch Mcconnell. Secondhand impressions of civil servants, this was a predetermined, political conclusion. Members of her conference had been publicly promising it literally for years. That is why the investigation stopped long before the house had come anywhere near proving what they allege. They pulled the plug early because of the facts were never the point. They were never the point. The point was to check a political box. Liz now lets bring in, weve got republican mike johnson of louisiana. You are a member of the house judiciary. Your reaction to what senator mcconnell was saying today . Hey, elizabeth. He summarized that very well. If you took all our comment in defense in the house judiciary meetings during all these weeks that is a good sum of what happened. They rushed this. They did this impeachment sham 20 times faster than impeachment against bill clinton. They want ad predetermined political outcome. They wanted to i will peach president donald j. Trump by christmas. It is a joke. In house judiciary committee, 24 members, 24 democrats. 17 of them wanted to impeach President Trump before the call to zelensky took place. They had three impeachment votes before they. People have zero confidence what happened to this point. Liz no crimes alleged like the nixon and clinton impeachment. To your point, the nixon impeachment took 14 months of hearings. Mountains and mountains of inquiry evidence looked into. The case is seemingly so rushed, so weak, the house wants the senate to quote, go on a fishing expedition, to quote north senator Mitch Mcconnell. Again no crimes charged. Ukraine leaders said they saw no pressure to investigate joe biden or quid pro quo. Democrats own witnesses pretty much said the same. Watch this. Either of you ever have any evidence of quid pro quo, mr. Morrison. No, maam. Ambassador volcker . I did not. Any evidence of bribery. No, maam. No, maam. Not that i recall. They did not. He said i want nothing, i want no quid pro quo. You testified you had no direct knowledge of any nefarious motivations to withhold aid to ukraine, correct . Correct. And to your knowledge you testified that there were no Strings Attached to the aid, correct . That is page 184 of your deposition. I had no such knowledge. Liz ukraine leader said the same. No bribery in the articles as a charge. No obstruction from the Mueller Probe in the charge. Whats their case . They dont have one and it is a great point, elizabeth. This is the reason this is only the third time this happened in the 243year history of our republic. It was designed by the framers of constitution to be exceedingly rare thing. Impeachment was only reserved when a president is engaged in treason, bribery, high crime or many of as you point out there is no crime here at all. The abuse of power is amorphous thing that says majority of the party in the house disagrees with the president s policies and the way he communicates. The second charge is this obstruction of congress is equally without merit. They could have simply gone down to the street to federal court and gotten a judge to sort out the differences whenner requesting in discovery from the white house. They were rushing it through to get predetermined political out come and they have slowwalked it for a month. The American People lost any confidence they might have had in the procedure. Having trial in senate and getting it done quickly is best interests of the country. Liz within six month the president being inaugurated it went to impeach 45. You will see right now the push to impeach trump. Nine articles and resolutions introduced. The next thing to watch senators who are pushing for witnesses to testify. We know senators roy blount susan collins, mitt romney say they possibly want to see witnesses but ted cruz, rand paul saying you call john bolton as a witness, we will demand joe biden and hunter biden appear. Do you think that will happen . Well, i dont know if they will get toness witnesses at all. Leader mcconnell should follow exactly right. The only procedure in the modern era. The precedent is impeachment of clinton trial. Opening statements. Both sides put on the case. Allowed for questions of the senator through the chief justice who presides over the trial. Then you determine if witnesses are needed. You cant do that prematurely. If there are witnesses the bidens would be the first on the list because that was the genesis of this whole controversy. Theres a lot of Unanswered Questions we love to have answered. It is muddy. Liz did the president say help us out, look into joe biden . Was that military aid withheld directly because of biden because of corruption in ukraine . Looks like the house didnt make the sale to the u. S. Voter. Congressman, thanks so much for joining us. Well be watching of course. Well move on next to iran. Saying iran, enough is enough. Now threatening sanctions on iran if it pursues a nuclear bomb. That obama nuke deal, collapsing. More on the stockpile of money iran has on the side to fund middle east terror. As its people suffer iranian demonstrators now say to the regime, you want to know who the great satan is . Look in the mirror. R problem. Ahh no, come on. I saw you eating poop earlier. Hey my focus is on the road, and thats saving me cash with drivewise. Whos the dummy now . Whoof whoof so get allstate where good drivers save 40 for avoiding mayhem, like me. Sorry hes a baby hey. Hey. You must be stevens phone.

Backfiring. Britain, germany, france, now taking a step toward sanctions on iran to get iran back into compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal. This as reuters now reporting canadas Prime Minister, justin trudeau, joining irans religious dictators and blaming President Trump for the shootdown of that ukraine plane that killed 176 people on board, including 57 canadians. Fox news Benjamin Hall has more from amman, jordan. Benjamin . Good evening, liz. Today iran announced it was arresting a number of people in connection to the downing of this plane. Many people saying that it is signifying theyre trying to placate the people who have been protesting ever since the plane came down but we dont know how many people have been arrested. We dont know who they are. Hassan rouhani called the act an unforgivable error. The protest are the not only about the downing of the plane. They are about unemployment. They are about corruption. They are about money spent abroad by iran on foreign wars while at home iranians have so little. A few dozen protesters were also arrested today. On capitol hill there is hearing looking to assassination of qassem soleimani. Experts were there to offer their views on the assassination and where it leaves the u. S. Now the pause in military exchanges between the United States and iran is just that a pause. Iran is not standing down. It will continue to take military actions against the United States i believe as well as our allies. Reporter irans government has more problems. Britain, france, germany today say they are triggering a dispute mechanism part of the nuclear deal over irans failure to live up to the terms of the pact. They say, they can no longer leave the growing iranian violations unanswered. Boris johnson said perhaps it was time to move on from president obamas iran deal. The jcpoa, maybe it is time to look forward to President Trumps deal. Liz Benjamin Hall from amman, jordan the thank you so much. As benjamin was reporting the Obama Nuclear deal is on the brink of collapse. Iranian street protest now in their fourth day. Demonstrators saying you want to know who the great satan is, iranian dictators. Just look in the mirror. Look as u. S. Stock market, u. S. Economy going strong. Oil prices not reacting, not rising as Iranian Regime in paralysis. That iranian public that the leaders are weak. Fox news military analyst, retired colonel david hunt. Good to see you. Your thoughts to reaction of the killing of general soleimani . Nothing difficult. Nothing unexpected. The business about rioting we have to be careful. We have been hoping for overthrow of the iranian government for almost 40 years. But only way that it is ever going to happen is the Iranian Military participants. They are massively corrupt at the senior level, owning businesses just like the chinese do. So i dont see any way that the rioters in the streets are going to overturn the iranian government and, lets say a miracle they do. We want always, when there is regime change, to have a new regime be friends of ours. So, we dont have that kind of control. We have very seldom, if ever had that kind of control when weve been directly involved in regime change. It is hard to do. Liz understood. You get the worst end of the stick. Liz understood. Maybe move from religious dictatorship into a military dictatorship. We dont know. A great point you made, colonel. Reports irans economy is not sustainable. One out of four young men are jobless. That could stop it from retaliating. It has to focus on problems at home. Colonel, former israeli ambassador to the u. S. Danny ayalon told us that iran has a slush fund on the side to fund terror in the middle east. Lets listen to this. It is no secret that khamenei has a slush fund, a secretive fund of 200 billion that he is using at his discretion for their own corruption on the one hand and on the other hand using it for undermining the regimes in the surrounding area of iran, destablizing the entire situation. Liz your reaction . Number one, you got to breaking news story because that is very classified bit of information that the ambassador just talked about, about the slush fund. Yes, they, iranians have a slush fund that they dont just use for terrorism. It is in the hundreds of billions of dollars. The point they have a worldwide reach with their, with, their terrorism organization. Liz what do they use it for what do they use it for . Sorry . Liz what do they use the fund for . Oh, the 200 billiondollar slush fund is primarily put in their on pockets. This money is used for payoffs. This is money if you check private Bank Accounts have most of the money in it. Some of the money is used for terrorism. The ambassador, no idea why he wanted to let that information out. They got a lot. Liz were running out of time. John kerry is also excusing the Obama Administration giving 50 billion to the, to the Iranian Regime when they have a slush fund on the side. The New York Times had created impression in the story that the soleimani drone strike was done rationally right after the embassy attack. Then the Washington Post and nbc saying no, this planning for the drone strike on the general was months, if not years in the making. I want to move on to this. Nancy pelosi minimized the iranian demonstrations. Lets watch this, take a listen. The fact is this. The, there were protesters in the streets before against the regime. After the taking out of soleimani, there were protesters in the streets joined together as you know against us. That wasnt good. But there are Different Reasons why people are in the street. Of course we would love to see the aspirations of the people of iran realized with a better situation there but, escalating the situation, unless we have exhausted every other recommend. Which we havent . Well we dont know that. Liz people are dying on the streets of iran. Theyre being tortured and oppressed. Critics saying this is not a good look for democrats to be taking this position right now. Republican Kevin Mccarthy introduced a resolution to show more solidarity along with the president. The president already has shown this with the iranian street demonstrators. We hear your. , about efficacy and effectiveness of the demonstrations. Your reaction nancy pelosi minimizing it . Staggering. Soleimani was a bad guy but or and. Like killing baghdadi. This is a very, very bad man needed to die in the war on terror. The mistake the Administration Made was justifying this with imminent attack business for 20 years could have been dropped. All they had to say we killed him because of the war on terror. This is a time for people to be standing behind this country and behind the president for which was a very difficult decision to make. The right decision to
