The charges are not yet finalized but followed a late night meeting monday over chinese food and a contentious tenhour hearing. Bang it harder. It still doesnt make the point that youre not doing it right. Sharp crossexamination of a witness is not badgering the witness. The gentleman will continue. Mr. Chairman. If it is if its by another witness. Reporter while republicans continue to defend the president and criticize the protest. Its outrageous were trying to remove a president with a Kangaroo Court like this. Reporter and democrats say this is about a clear violation of the president s oath of office. He placed his own private interests ahead of our National Security and the integrity of our elections and constitutes a continuing threat to the integrity of our elections and to our democratic system of government. President trumps persistent and continuing effort to coerce a foreign country to help him cheat to win an election is a clear and present danger to our free and fair elections.

All right, serena, thank you. Abc news will bring you live today News Conference on capitol hill beginning at 9 00 a. M. Eastern. President trump and russias foreign minister are meeting in the oval office today, one day after a new report found the fbi was justified in launching the russia investigation back in 2016. The justice departments Inspector General uncovered no evidence of political bias or spying undercutting claims by President Trump, but the report criticized agents for serious errors and omissions in handling secret service warrants. Fbi director Christopher Wray says changes will be made but wray and his predecessor james comey are defending the bureau. Based on the findings in the Inspector General report, is the fbi part of some deep state . Well, i think thats the kind of label that is a disservice to the 37,000 men and women who work at the fbi. Thats not a term i would ever use to describe our workforce and i think its an afront to them. The fbi had to wait two years while the president and his followers lied about the institution. Finally the truth gets told. I hope its not too late but on all the important things it tells the truth. Attorney general william barr criticized the report saying it was launched on the, quote, thinnest of suspicions. Hes overseeing a separate criminal investigation into the origins of the investigation. We turn to the deadly volcanic eruption in new zealand. Overnight we learned nine americans are among the injured and missing. Authorities are now launching a criminal investigation.

New video shows the moments after the blast on white island sent ash soaring 12,000 feet into the air. This webcam image shows a group of people inside the crater taken just minutes before the eruption. Rescue helicopters raced to the island soon after the volcano erupted bringing some injured back to shore for treatment. These newlyweds from virginia were among the nine americans on the island at the time. According to inside edition, matthew urey left this voice mail for his mother. This isnt a joke. The volcano actually erupted while we were on the island. Lauren and i got pretty badly burned so were at the hospital in new zealand. High my hands are burned so i cant use my phone. Reporter the volcano has long been known as unpredictable and scientists recently reported an increase in gases and small tremors leaving many demanding answers to why tourists were allowed to climb it. It was a relatively small explosion, and the reason why it turned deadly was not because of all large it was, it was because of how close the people were to where the explosion occurred. Reporter and now authorities in new zealand have launched a criminal investigation focusing on the circumstances of the deaths from the eruption. Well look into if there was anyone criminally responsible for the deaths and injuries. Its early days yet, so were just going to have to work through the evidence, talk to people and conduct the investigation. Authorities say the island is too unstable to begin efforts to find those eight missing people. They say theres a 50 chance the volcano could erupt again in the next 24 hours.

The Golden Globes is facing new criticism this year for once again failing to nominate any female filmmakers. Women directed some of the most critically acclaimed films of the year such as hustlers, book smart and a Beautiful Day in the neighborhood but were snubbed for an all male lineup of nominees including Martin Scorseses and quentin tarantino. Little women were among the biggest shutouts. There were so many more films directed by women and great quality films so a lot of these women were considered to be shooins to land nominations so when they didnt the snub seemed even bigger. In the 77history of the Golden Globes only five women nominated for best director. The patriots are denying new allegations of cheating after videotape of the lithe bengals broke a league rule by filming the sidelines during the bengals claim in cleveland but the team says the crew was made up of independent contractors working on a web series for the patriots about the teams scouting department. Those scouts were watching the bengals because they face the patriots this weekend. The league is now investigating. If the patriots are admitting in their statement that they violated a rule even inadvertently, then, yes, you would have to think the league has to do at least something. Now, when they were caught doing illegal videotaping in 2007, they were punished severely. The patriots got permission from the browns to shoot the video but did not inform the bengals or the league. The team calls that a, quote, unintended oversight. A disappointing return to action last night for giants quarterback eli manning. In his first start since september, manning helped the giants build a 14point lead over the eagles but philly stormed back scoring the teams final 20 points including a touchdown in overtime.
