This morning nearly one month after peaimpeaching president tp House Speakers are ready to send it to the senate. Nancy pelosi is about to name her managers. Nancy is inside the capitol with more on the story. What do we know about the managers . Speaker pelosi is keeping us in suspension until the last moment. The press conference expected to get under way any minute now. We have seen staffers for jerry nadler and adam schiff arrive at the press conference location. So that is yet another suggestion that those two individuals, who led the house investigation, are probably going to lead the team of house impeachment managers as well. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell says that the trial is going to get under way next week, after the Senate Receives these articles of impeachment today and there is now new evidence indicating that the president s allies were willing to go to greater lengths than we previously knew to uncover dirt about the bidensbidens, and tho lengths included having a u. S. Ambassador tracked. The impeachment hoax, its a hoax reporter hours before President Trump railed against impeachment in wisconsin at a rally. The House Intelligence Committee released new evidence from lev parnas, an indicted businessman who helped Rudy Giuliani pressure ukraine to investigate the buy denidenbidens. In one text message, the top prosecutor appeared to agree to help with the biden investigation if the u. S. Ambassador to ukraine was removed. This has been a very painful period. Former ambassador Marie Yovanovitch testified last year she was ousted after being smeared by the president and his allies, including parnas. Text messages suggest that parnas and associates were tracking her movements. In one, robert hyde appears to say, they know shes a political puppet. Theyll let me know when shes on the move. Calling for an investigation writing, the notion that american citizens and others were monitoring ambassador yovanovitchs movements for unknown purposes is disturbing. Democrats acknowledge that parnas himself has some credibility problems. You think he may not be a reliable witness . Somebody whos been indicted for multiple felonies, yes. There are questions of credibility there that have to be processed through. Reporter democrats and some key republicans do want to hear from other witnesses at the senate trial, including former National Security advisor john bolton, who has said he would testify. If you want the truth, you have to have witnesses. You have to have documents. Reporter as we await speaker pelosis press conference, a couple other lawmakers we have seen arriving at that location. Zoe loftgran of california. Along with schiff and nadler. So thats an indication they too will be joining the team of house impeachment managers. They are on the house Judiciary Committee. Later today, the impeachment managers will actually walk these articles of impeachment from the House Chamber to the Senate Chamber, past the hallway behind us on the second floor of the capital. Theyll go through the rotunda, through the hall, past the Old Senate Chamber before arriving at the Senate Chamber itself. A bit of pomp and sir couple stance what we saw 21 years ago before the clinton impeachment trial. A historic walk on another historic day in washington. Nancy, thank you very much. We saw President Trump on the campaign trail last night in wisconsin. Now six of the Democratic Candidates trying to stop mr. Trump met in iowa for their first debate of the new year. Also their last p event together before the iowa caucuses. The candidates reached out to voters but a split between senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders got the biggest response. At the end it appeared that warren refused a hand shake with her longtime ally. Ed okeefe covered the debate for us. Good morning. Whats behind this disagreement . Reporter the dispute between sanders and warren began on monday and became a flash point in the debate when moderators brought it up. Warren said sanders once told her he doesnt think a woman can become president hp last night he denied all that. I didnt say it. Reporter senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, longtime allies now they say they remember a 2018 conversation differently. Anybody who knows me know its incomprehensible that i would think that a woman could not be president of the United States. What did you think when senator sanders told you a woman could not win the election . I disagreed. Bernie is my friend, and im not here to try to fight with bernie. But look, this question about whether or not a woman can be president has been raised, and its time for us to attack it head on. Can a woman beat donald trump . Look at the men on this stage, collectively bring in the rest of our cbs stations for a cbs special report. As you know, our founders and our eze t impornce of time, because everything is about time. How we use it, how we mark it, and today is an important today because today is the day that we name the managers who go to the floor to pass the resolution to transmit the articles of impeachment to the senate, and later in the day when we have our engrossment, that we march those articles of impeachment to the United States senate. As ive said, its always been our founders, when they started, when in the course of human events it becomes necessary when Abraham Lincoln forescore and years ago, these are the times that have found us. Again and again. Even our poets, longfellow, listen, my children, and you will hear of the Midnight Ride of paul revere on the 18th of april of 75, and we remember the famous day and year. Its always about marking history, using time. On december 18th, the house of representatives impeached the president of the United States. An impeachment that will last forever. Since december 18th, there have been comments about when are we going to send the articles over. Well, we had hoped that the courtesy would be extended that we would have seen what the process would be in the senate. Short of that, the time has revealed many things since then. Time has been our friend in all of this, because as weve yielded incriminating evidence and more truth into the public domain. Since we passed the articles on december 20th, two days later, new emails showed that 91 minutes after trumps phone call with president zelensky, a top office of management and budget aide asked the department to hold off on ukraine aid. On december 29th, new information emerged about the delay of effort by lawyers in the administration to just fify the delay, and the alarm that the delay caused within the administration. On january 2nd, newly unredacted pentagon emails which the house subpoenaed raised serious concerns by the Trump Administration officials. By Trump Administration officials, they were concerned about the legality of the president s hold on the aid to ukraine. On january 6th, former trump National Security adviser john bolton said he would comply with a subpoena to testify and that he has new relevant information. On january 13th, reports emerged the russian government hacked the Gas Company Burisma in an ongoing effort to influence elections in support of President Trump, and just yesterday, the House Committee, two of our chairmen here, chairman nadler and chairman schiff and the chairman of Foreign Affairs and government reform, they released new evidence pursuant to a house subpoena, lev parnas, you know who that is, an associate of Rudy Giuliani, that further proves the president was an central player in the scheme to pressure ukraine for his own benefit in the 2020 election. This is about the constitution of the United States, and its important for the president to know and putin to know the american voter, voters in america, should decide who our president is, not Vladimir Putin and russia. So today im very proud to present the managers who will bring the case which we have great confidence in in terms of impeaching the president and his removal. But this further evidence insists that and we wouldnt be in this situation had we not waited, insists that there be witnesses and that we see documentation. And now you see some of that change happening on the senate side. I hope it does for the good of our country and to honor our constitution. So today on the floor well pass a resolution naming the managers, as i mentioned, appropriating the funds for the trial, and transmitting the articles of impeachment of the president of the United States for trying to influence a Foreign Government for his own personal and political benefit. Chair adam schiff of california, lead manager, chairman schiff, as you know, is chair of the select committee on intelligence and is serving his tenth term in congress. Before congress mr. Schiff was a california state senator and served as a federal prosecutor in the u. S. Attorneys office in los angeles for six years. Most notably prosecuting the First Federal fbi agent ever to be indicted for espionage. Chairman jerry nadler is serving his 15th term in congress. Mr. Nadler served as the top democrat on the judiciary subcommittee on constitution, civil rights and Civil Liberties for 13 years. Before congress, mr. Nadler served the new York State Assembly for 16 years. Chair lofgren, chair of the House Committee on administration, which has jurisdiction over federal elections, is a Senior Member of the house Judiciary Committee. Mrs. Lofgren is serving her 13th term in congress. This is chairwoman lofgrens third impeachment, as a Judiciary Committee staffer in the nixon impeachment, as a member of the Judiciary Committee in the clinton impeachment, and now as a manager in this impeachment of President Trump. Chair jeffries of new york, is the chair of the House Democratic caucus and is currently serving his fourth term in congress. Hes a member of the house Judiciary Committee. Before being in congress, he served in the assembly of new york for six years, an accomplished litigator in private practice before running for elected office. Mr. Refuse jees clerked for the honorable bear junior for the Southern District of new york. Congresswomen demmings of florida, congresswoman is both a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on intelligence and the house Judiciary Committee. Ms. Demming is serving her second term in congress. Before that she served in the Orlando Police department for 27 years, part of that time as the First Woman Police chief in orlando. Congressman jason crow of colorado is a member of the House Armed Services committee. Mr. Crow served his country, our country, bravely as an army ranger in iraq and afghanistan. Before running for congress, mr. Crow was a respected litigator in private practice in colorado. Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia of texas is a member of the house Judiciary Committee committee. Before congress, ms. Garcia served in Texas State Senate previously. She was the director and presiding judge of the houston municipal system and was elected city controller. Ms. Garcia was later elected the first hispanic and first woman to be elected in her own right to the Harris County commissioners court. As you can see from these descriptions, the emphasis is on litigators. The emphasis is on Comfort Level in the courtroom. The emphasis is making the strongest possible case to protect and defend our constitution to seek the truth for the american people. Im very proud and honored that these seven members, distinguished members, have accepted this serious responsibility, again to protect and defend for the people, defending our democracy. When we leave here a little bit later at noon, well go to the floor and pass the resolution naming the managers officially. But i wanted to say more about them here and to say that decisions to come down in favor of litigators is necessitated by the clear evidence that we should have witnesses and we should have documentation and we have to make the strongest prosecution, not only of our very strong case, but of all the information that has come forth since. Were going to take a few questions. Speaker pelosi, if time strengthened your case, why did you rush thats House Speaker nancy pelosi revealing the names of the managers who will now represent House Democrats during the Senate Impeachment trial. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the story. She just introduced us to the seven members. Are these the names we expected . Reporter we didnt know exactly what to expect. We did know th aker pelosi was trying to achieve not only some racial and Ethnic Diversity in the group that she chose, but also geographical diversity. And so you see lawmakers up there with her who are not just from new york and california, but also from colorado and texas, and florida. And interestingly, a couple of members who are new to congress. This is their first term. So she was clearly looking not only to bring in seasoned lawmakers, but also individuals who represent the very large crop of new members in the Democratic Party here on capitol hill. Most of them are lawyers. She said that the emphasis was on litigators and on individuals who had a Comfort Level in the courtroom. Val demmings, for example, not a lawyer, but she was the chief of police for the Orlando Police department before she came here to capitol hill. Nancy, thank you very much. It was interesting how nancy pelosi said that she wanted to emphasize the litigation experience and she had been criticized for taking so long to carry over the articles of impeachment, but as she pointed out, it gave them more truth and more evidence. Thank you very much, nancy cordes. Of course we will have more on this story later today when the articles of impeachment are carried to the senate this afternoon, well bring it to you of course in a cbs news special report. Our coverage will continue on our 24hour streaming network, cbsn, and of course you can watch it on cbsnews. Com or on our cbs news app. There will be more to come on your local news station.
