The house impeachment inquiry may be entering a new phase after a day of testimony that democrats call detailed, damning, and disturbing. The top u. S. Diplomats in ukraine, thats bill taylor, laid out how President Trump held up military aid for ukraine as he pushed its leaders to investigate democrats and a company linked to farmer Vice President joe bidens son. The white house called the inquiry a coordinated Smear Campaign and said there was no quid pro quo on ukraine. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Nancy, what else did we learn from taylors testimony . Reporter yes, we learned that there were meetings and phone calls and cables where this controversial strategy was discussed and where the ukrainians were pushed to cooperate, even told what to say to make the president happy. Ambassador taylor called the situation alarming and made it clear that he felt it was a quid pro quo. Mr. Taylor, what led you to be concerned about a quid pro quo . Reporter in nearly ten hours of testimony, ambassador bill taylor described a secret campaign to pressure ukraine, using millions in military aid as leverage. This is my most disturbing day in congress so far. Very troubling. He is probably one of the most credible witnesses ive ever seen. Reporter taylor is a veteran Civil Servant who was asked to return to his post in ukraine this summer, according to his 15page opening statement. He encountered a highly irregular u. S. Policymaking effort there, led by the president s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani. This is not just rogue Rudy Giuliani, selfdealing in ukraine. Hes an agent of the president. Reporter taylor said that by midjuly, it was becoming clear that a meeting the ukrainian president sought with mr. Trump was conditioned on the investigation of burris isma, t Energy Company that employed the son of president ial candidate joe biden. Taylor said he was told that everything, including millions of dollars in u. S. Security assistance depended o zelensky publicly announcing an investigation related to the bidens and the 2016 election. The money held up had absolutely nothing to do with biden. Reporter taylors testimony directly contradicted the white house line. There was no quid pro quo. At all. Reporter mr. Trump isnt making it easy for allies to defend him. The pnt h said that you told him that his phone call with the ukrainian president was perfect and innocent. We have not had any conversations on that subject. Reporter so he was lying about that . Youll have to ask him. Reporter still, mcconnell and other republicans insist the president is being denied due process. And after that tenhour deposition wrapped up, one republican, mark meadows, came out and said he still doesnt see evidence of a quid pro quo. Anthony . Nancy, in a tweet, the president used the word lynching to describe the democrats inquiry. What was the reaction on the hill to that . Reporter well, harsh condemnation from democrats who argue that the president s language minimized hate crimes against black americans while many republicans also said that they didnt feel that the language was appropriate, but there were other republicans who argued that this is hardly the first time that that word has been used in a political context. They pointed to the fact that joe biden himself used it back in 1998 when discussing the impeachment of then president bill clinton. That led biden to take to twitter to say that it wasnt the right word to use and that hes sorry about that. Trump, on the other hand, he argued, chose his words deliberately in his use of the word lynching, and biden said continues to stoke racial divides in this country. All right, nancy cordes. Thank you, nancy. Facebook Ceo Mark Zuckerberg is testifying this morning on capitol hill. His hearing is supposed to be about cryptocurrency, but that is not likely to be the only line of questioning from members of congress. Ed okeefe is outside the hearing room. Ed, good morning. So, what are the issues on the minds of zuckerberg, but also the Committee Members . Reporter well, good morning, tony. When zuckerberg appears here today before the House Financial Services committee, hes set to push lawmakers and federal regulators to take a more active role in policing harmful content online, protecting elections, and improving online security. But members of both parties are poised to push him to explain what hes doing on those issues. Zuckerbergs appearance here comes just days after facebook announced it will more prominently label posts that include false or partially false information. Theyre also launching new tools to help political candidates monitor social media accounts for potential hacking. But facebook and instagram will still allow political candidates to advertise with few restrictions. Thats earned criticism, especially from democratic president ial candidates who say facebook is helping President Trump spread lies about his potential opponents. Zuckerberg says it shouldnt be up to Tech Companies to decide what you can and cannot see online. So, whether its cryptocurrency or election interference, this is a reminder, facebook plays a big role in the lives of millions of americans and billions around the world. And gail, heylgayle, hes set t rough day in the witness chair. Thank you. Iraqs defense minister said this morning that u. S. Troops pulled out of syria will leave iraq in four weeks.

Forces would continue operating against isis from iraq. Russia and turkey made a deal yesterday without the u. S. To take control of northeastern syria and force out kurdish fighters who fought alongside u. S. Troops. This morning, Holly Williams is in syria, where she has exclusive access to Turkish Forces that have crossed the border. Reporter just three weeks ago, kurdishled forces allied with the u. S. Were in control of this territory here in northeastern syria. Now, turkey is in control. This is the turkish military, turkish soldiers. We came across the border with them this morning. It has been a tumultuous time. Earlier this month, President Trump ordered u. S. Troops to pull back from the turkey syria border. American forces are now withdrawing from eastern syria. Following that, turkey launched an offensive into northeastern syria, targeting those Kurdish Forces that were partnered with the u. S. In the fight against isis, but turkey regards them as a terrorist organization. Last night, we saw turkeys president , recep tayyip erdogan, and russian president Vladimir Putin making a deal about the future of this part of syria. They agreed on a ceasefire. Turkey will get a nearly 20miledeep safe zone along its border, and turkish soldiers will carry out joint patrols with Russian Troops. Weve already seen Russian Troops moving into areas that were controlled by kurdish all of this is a powerful illustration of how the u. S. Is ceding influence here in the middle east to russia. Now, those kurdishled forces say that they are Still Holding around 12,000 accused isis fighters, including 4,500 foreigners. And one big question Going Forward is who will take control of those prisons . Who will stop a mass prison break . Who will prevent isis reforming its army of militants . Thank you, holly.

Major League Baseball is investigating expletivefilled comments the astros assistant general manager made to a group of female reporters. Cbs this morning saturdays cohost Dana Jacobson is here. Dana, this is putting a cloud over the series. Anthony, at the very least, you could say that the astros are in damage control mode. The comments you mentioned happened in houstons clubhouse after they clinched the American League pennant over the weekend. Assistant gm Brandon Taubman is accused of turning to three female reporters, then launching into a gratuitous celebration of a controversial player who the astros had initially been criticized for acquiring after hed been accused of Domestic Violence. The world series yeah reporter this was the setting in which Brandon Taubmans explosive comments took place. Sports illustrated reporter epapstein wrote that taubman turned to three female reporters, one of whom was we domtic violence bracelet, and yelled thank god we got osuna im so expletive glad we got osuna he was referring to pitcher roberto osuna, picked up by the astros after he was arrested on Domestic Violence charges in 2018 for allegedly assaulting the mother of his young child. Charges against osuna were later dropped, but he was found to have violated major League Baseballs Domestic Violence policy and served a 75game suspension. My name is Brandon Taubman reporter the astros initially said the report was misleading and irresponsible. But other reporters backed up apsteins account.

No one i dont it doesnt matter if its a player, a coach, a manager, any of you members of the media should ever feel like when you come into our clubhouse that youre going to be uncomfortable or disrespected. Reporter it is worth noting, the reporters did not ask any questions about osuna, who pitched poorly in the game prior to that and also that osuna has denied any of those Domestic Violence allegations. Major League Baseball issued a statement after taubmans apology condemning any action that would minimize the seriousness of Domestic Violence and said it would interview those involved in this incident. A lot of questions still. A big part of this seems to be that the astros suggested this didnt happen. Yes. And had not explained now at this point why they said that initially. They called the report fabricated story by this t was Sports Illustrated reporter. Yeah, they were standing by their executive, but now even the executive is saying i used strong language. Hes kind of walking up to the line of a full apology. I think a lot of people would like to see that full apology. No doubt. Dana, thank you very much. Thank you.
