Bought on black friday and cyber monday so is your smart tv spying on you . Plus the peloton tv ad thats raising eyebrows and certainly raising conversation amid a growing controversy early today starts right now good to be with you. Im Frances Rivera and im cori coffin the impeachment inquiry is officially in the hands of the House Judiciary Committee this morning. Democrats will now try to take their case on why President Trump deserves impeachment by first laying out the constitutional groundwork here now, in just hours a bevy of constitutional scholars will be testifying at the judiciarys first public hearing on whether the president s actions are worthy of removal from office. And underpinning the case is the ruinous new report release the by the House Intelligence Committee. Nbcs tracie potts joins us with the very latest from d. C and tracie, this report really serves as a road map for impeachment for democrats. Reporter exactly, cori its 300 pages this is the report from the House Intelligence Committee led by adam schiff after those hearings that they held last month. The report outlines what they say was abuse of power by President Trump in asking ukraine, pressuring ukraine to investigate his political rival joe biden and withholding aid from ukraine until they did and promising a prowess meeting. The report is scathing, saying that the president put National Security at risk with his actions and the actions of those around him, calling out the Vice President and secretary of state as others who were involved or aware of what democrats call a scheme here. And that report has now been turned over to the Judiciary Committee for todays hearing in phase two of this inquiry. This is not about ukraine this is about our democracy. This is about our National Security and if we dont care about this we can darn well be sure the president will be back at it doing this all over again. The impeachment hoax is going nowhere. The Republican Party has never now. So unified as it is right reporter thats President Trump. Hes been monitoring the impeachment inquiry and the hearings from overseas at the nato meeting in london meanwhile, today is that first Judiciary Committee hearing. There are four constitutional scholars, three picked by democrats, one selected by republicans set to explain what bribery and high crimes and misdemeanors mean in the context of impeachment cori all right just all of this ramping up as we have these nato hearings. Thank you so much, tracie. And of course our special coverage of todays impeachment hearings begin this morning at 10 00 a. M. Eastern and while democrats focus on impeachment at home, the president is taking on different battles overseas at the nato summit in london the president had a confrontation with french president Emmanuel Macron mr. Trump suggested that European Countries should do a better job of taking back captured isis fighters would you like some nice isis fighters i could give them to you you can take every one you want. Lets be serious. The back and forth started earlier in the day with President Trump slamming macron over his recent criticisms of nato the tense day was capped off with the president and the first lady celebrating the 70th anniversary of nato at an event hosted by the queen. Nbcs Erin Mclaughlin joins us now from london. So erin, talk about the level of progress that was made at those meetings reporter hey, frances. We just heard from the nato secretarygeneral trying to project the alliances strength saying that the alliance is strong, the alliance is agile, that its themost Effective Alliance in human history. But he also gave a nod to the differences, differences that were on full display yesterday in that bilateral meeting between President Trump and president macron macron standing by his brain death comment, something that President Trump was very critical of earlier in the day, saying the comments were nasty but macron saying the comments were warranted he said that this alliance does not stray strategy going forward, that yes, theres an emphasis thats needed on burden sharing, which is a priority of President Trump, but it also needs a common strategy and thats distinctly lacking. Something theyll likely discuss during their threehour working session today. Each leader will get about three or four minutes to address the alliance we are expecting President Trump to arrive here shortly he also has a number of bilateral meetings on schedule including the german chancellor as well as the danish Prime Minister well certainly be watching, especially if any snipes are taken back and forth there erin, thank you.
