Mexico border, thats less than the 6 billion the president demanded last year during the shutdown battle. Also raises the age to buy tribe products from 18 to 21. The spending package is projected to add 400 billion to the deficit over the next decade. It is now the icans move in the impeachmentpubl stalemate in the senate. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell met with democratic leader Chuck Schumer but says they are still at an impasse on how to proceed with an impeachment trial expected next month. Congress is out for the holiday recess, and the president is in florida, as we mentioned, for the next two weeks. Chip reid is in West Palm Beach with the latest this morning. Good morning. Reporter good morning. President trump arrived in florida late last night leaving behind a bitterly divided Congress Following his impeachment. Speaker pelosi has not yet sent those articles of impeachment from the house to the senate where the trial is expected to occur because the leaders in the senate just cant agree on how to proceed. Prior to boarding air force one last night, President Trump signed the 2020 Defense Authorization bill in a hangar at joint base andrews before several hundred military personn personnel. The law im signing provides 738 billion, thats with a b. 738 billion in defense funding for the 2020. An alltime record in the history of our country. Reporter earlier, senior white house advisers visited capitol hill for a tour of the senate floor where the impeachment trial will take place. The leader and his team, assemble everybody so we can meet and see where locations are. We remain at an impasse on these logistics. Reporter Senate Leaders Mitch Mcconnell and Chuck Schumer have yet to agree on how the senate trial would proceed. I told leader mcconnell that we would not support any trial without witnesses and documents. Reporter House Speaker nancy pelosi says she wants to know details on witnesses and procedures before sending it to the senate. We hope it would be a fair process, as we hope that they would honor the constitution. Reporter christianity today, a magazine popular with evangelical christians, a key part of the president s base, called for his removal from office, writing in an editorial, none of the president s positives can balance the moral and political danger we face under a leader of such grossly immoral character. The president lashed out at the magazine in a series of tweets calling it far left and adding, no president has done more for the evangelical community. Yesterday the president accepted speaker pelosis invitation to give the annual state of the Union Address on february 4th. Incredibly, that came just two days after pelosi oversaw the president s impeachment. Jeff . Thank you so much. Washington post National Correspondent philip bump joins us now. Good morning. Good morning. Any indication, any insight now as to when the articles of impeachment get sent over . Could they be held indefinitely . Yeah, they can be held as long as the house wants to do it. What were seeing is a power struggle. The democrats have controlled the impeachment process for months. Theyre very eager to try and help set the terms and conditions under which the senate trial moves forward. I think theyre also happy to have this sort of atmosphere of questions about how fair the senate trial will be because that will help color the actual result. On this issue of witnesses, i distinctly remember the impeachment of another president , and Mitch Mcconnell was leading the chorus on we have to have them. So how are you able to stand behind this this sort of flood of people on the republican side saying no witnesses, moving forward speedily, and will there be i mean, is there any recourse for democrats . Theres not a lot. I mean, all it takes is a majority vote if the senate to set the rules for what happens. Republicans have the majority there. Theres a lot of talk about precede precedent. The impeachment of clinton of 1998 and 1999. This question of witnesses is interesting because the republicans dont want to necessarily open the floodgates for witnesses because they have a lot of moderates. The moderates arent going to go along with bringing in random people who can impugn the impeachment process. Mitch mcconnell also doesnt want to open the doors for them bringing in witnesses that will attack President Trump. He may say no witnesses at all in order to avoid that. You mentioned some of the positive for the Democrats Holding on to the articles of impeachment. Overall democrats for the president , what the danger Going Forward if they stay in the house and dont go forward . I think i havent seen a lot of evidence so far that republicans are that worried. Republicans dont like the impeachment. I dont think theyre eager to spend a lot of time, again, airing the president s dirty laundry on the ukraine things. The president himself is eager to have senate vote and say, no, ive been acquitted. He wants to stand at a rally and say that. Im sure hes putting pressure on them. Im not sure how strong this is. Isnt this also what people are so annoyed by politics, by is this an idea of a stalemate an seithdideer exten. Our policies are so polarized anyway that all the democrats are going to have one feeling, and all the republicans will have another feeling. Weve seen that over the course of the impeachment. The last democratic debate was thursday, Peter Buttigieg came under fire like never before. There were seven candidates on stage. Next debate is in january. How many on stage then . What happens then . A good question. Theyve again escalated the requirements for getting on stage. It remains to be seen. I think its four or five have already qualified. One of the things the candidates have seen is there hasnt been a lot of change after the debates. One of the reasons Pete Buttigieg came under fire is because his poll numbers go up and down. I think people are starting to transition to, okay, once the primaries and caucuses start, thats when theres going to be a big shakeup. And january may end up being sort of a placeholder until we actually start voting. Philip bump, thank you. Have a good holiday. Tomorrow on face the nation, democratic president ial candidate Amy Klobuchar will be a guest. A surprising twist in the case of the missing texas woman and her newborn child. Police say the 1monthold child, margo, is safe and now in protective custody. But it appears her mother, heidi broussard, was strangled. Investigators say a tip led them to the houston area where broussards longtime friend magen fieramuca was arrested friday. Her neighbors could not believe it. Ive been following her story as having been missing and thought what in the world could have happened to her. And lord jesus, here she back yard. Magen fieramuca faces two charges of kidnapping and one charge of tampering with a corpse. Officials say more criminal charges may be filed. The wife of an american diplomat now formally charged in the death of a british teenager is refusing to return to britain to face trial. Anne sacoolas fled after she was accused of causing a crash that killed 19yearold motorist harry dunn. We spoke with the family. Reporter harry dunns parents shed tears of relief. We feel that weve taken a huge step in the start of achieving the promise to harry that we made. Reporter to bring Anne Sacoolas to justice. British authorities charged sacoolas with harry dunns death. She admits to hitting him while driving on the wrong side of the road outside this British Military base where her husband, a u. S. Intelligence official, was stationed. The 42yearold american fled the uk just days after the collision under diplomatic immunity. Been fighting so long for this news to get Anne Sacoolas charged. Hows it feel . Huge relief. Weight off our shoulders at the moment. At the moment. But its only the first part. Reporter and now that that first huge hurdle has been cleared, the second is for the british government. It now has to ask for Anne Sacoolas extradition from the United States. Her lawyers are already saying theres no chance whatsoever shell voluntarily turn herself in. Jeff . Heartbreaking case. Thank you so much.
