Friday the president s former ambassador to ukraine testified before a Congressional Panel about how she was removed from her job. Is as the New York Times reports federal prosecutors are investigating mr. Trumps personal attorney, rudy giuliani, for his involvement in ukraine. The president went to the campaign trail in louisiana to vent his frustrations and to rally his base. Natalie brand begins our coverage in all this. She is at the white house where President Trump returned last night. Good morning. Reporter good morning to you. The Campaign Rally came hours after the president announced a partial trade deal with china. While that was mentioned last night, it certainly wasnt the focus. It was the impeachment inquiry that had the president most fired up, describing it in profane terms. They know they cant win on action day so theyre pursuing an illegal, invalid, and unconstitutional [ bleep ] impeachment. [ cheers ] reporter President Trump again railed against House Democrats as he rallied supporters for the second night in arow. For nearly three years, democrats have waged a nonstop battle to overturn your vote, overall your voice overrule your voice, override your values. Reporter nearly three weeks into the formal impeachment inquiry, ten subpoenas have now been issued with deadlines next week for rudy giuliani. On friday the president appeared to distance himself from giuliani. Your personal attorney i dont know. I havent spoken to rudy. I spoke to him yesterday briefly. Hes a very good attorney, and he has been my attorney, yes. Reporter cbs news has learned giuliani will stay on mr. Trumps legal team but will not participate in matters related to ukraine. On thursday, two giuliani associates, lev parnas and igor fruman, were arrested on federal Campaign Finance charges. While giuliani was not named in the indictment, the two are linked to his efforts to investigate former Vice President joe biden and his son, hunter. As the impeachment investigation escalates, the ongoing trade war with china appeared to ratchet down friday. We knew that we were going to have a very successful phase one. Reporter the president and chinas vice premier announced an agreement in principle on phase one of a trade deal. While specifics have not been released, the president says china has agreed to some intellectual property protections and will step up agricultural purchase to an billion. In return, the u. S. Will hold off on the tariff hike that had been scheduled to take effect next week on 250 billion worth of chinese imports. A decision has not been made on the tariffs scheduled for december, and the administration acknowledges much work remains to be done in the weeks and months ahead. Phase one of this deal must still be finalized before negotiators can begin to tackle phase two. All right. Thank you. Former u. S. Ambassador to the ukraine, marie yovanovitch, defied a state Department Order and testified before a house committee. Behind closed doors, she described what she calls as a concerted effort to oust her from office, and she said it was led by the presen nancy cordes is on capitol hill. I jest dont know her i just dont know her. Reporter President Trump suddenly softened friday on the woman he fired, but that didnt stop marie yovanovitch. The former ambassador to ukraine defied his orders and spoke to congress. Behind closed doors, the 33year veteran of the foreign service, said she was abruptly ordered this april to come back to washington on the next plane. She says the deputy secretary of state told her she had done nothing wrong but that the president had lost confidence in her and that there had been a Concerted Campaign against her. She got fired finally, but she was blocking it. Reporter that Concerted Campaign may have originated with the president s personal lawyer, rudy giuliani, who repeatedly claimed that yovanovitch was keeping ukraine from investigating the president s campaign rival, joe biden. We were blocked by the ambassador who eventually got fired. Reporter but there is no evidence biden did anything wrong. And yovanovitch says she never asked ukraine to refrain from investigating actual corruption. In fact, quite the opposite. There has been progress, including this year the establishment of the anticorruption court. Reporter yovanovitch speculates that contacts of mr. Giuliani, like the two men arrested this week, may well have believed that their personal financial ambitions were stymied by our anticorruption policy in ukraine. House democrats say her removal is more evidence of the president bending his Foreign Policy apparatus. I heard very bad things about her. Reporter to serve his personal crusade against biden. Let me get back to biden. Right . Remember . Wheres hunter . Last night i id wheres hunter . Reporter at least four more witnesses have been scheduled for depositions next week. And some of them, like yovanovitch, now say that they will cooperate despite white house orders. For cbs this morning saturday, im nancy cordes on capitol hill.

The secret service and election and cybersecurity. House democrats are one step closer to gaining access to some of President Trumps key financial records. Mr. Trump has refused to release documents that would shed light on his business interests. Friday a federal Appeals Court ruled an Accounting Firms records documenting trump dealings from 2011 to 2018 can be turned over to the House Oversight committee. Those documents do not include mr. Trumps tax returns, a focus of another court battle. The president could appeal the latest ruling to the supreme court.
