Reporter this hearing lasted more than five and a half hours. During that time, democrats and republicans tried to use these witnesses to make their clear case about if the president committed an Impeachable Offense or not. The real question is, how will this impact Public Opinion . The facts that have come to light are very much what the founders had in mind. This is an abject failer for the democrats and for adam schiff. Reporter a stark contrast. Acting u. S. Ambassador to the ukraine, william taylor, and senior official, george kent testified. Taylor revealed new information about the president s focus on investigating joe and hunter biden. The member of my staff asked ambassador sondland what the president thought about ukraine. Mr. Sondland responded that the president cares more about biden. Reporter the president after trumps call with ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky. At issue, democrats believe the president used his office to extort ukraine to dig up dirt on the bidens. Including withholding nearly 400 million in military aid. It was not just the white house meeting that was dependent on the investigations. He said it was now everything. It included the security assistance. You did not listen to the president and lindseys call . I did not. You never met the president. Thats correct. Reporter the republicans pressed on what they called second and third hand information. They also question Hunter Bidens work in the ukraine. Uc hastings constitutional law says both sides made some traction. He also believes the severity of the president s reported actions are far worse than president clinton or nixon. We know far more about what impeachment was for. This is exactly what they were talking about. Fear of foreign entanglement. Fear of misuse of power. I havent watched for one minute because ive been with the president , which is much more important as far as im concerned. This is a sham. Reporter President Trump and republicans pushed again today to have the whistle blower testify. One issue is this clash of the regular channel of diplomacy, versus what he called the irregular channel. More are scheduled for next week, including ambassador son sondland, which is going to be a big one. You talk about the republican defense for these two men today who said that basically they had second hand, and third hand knowledge. Sondland had direct access to the president. If this phone call holds true, was speaking to him about the ukraine pressure campaign. Theyre going to ask him about that heavily, and ask what his direct contact with the president was in this. One of the things about the Mueller Report is that it was very complex. I think what you saw from the council from the democrats was very quick, pointed questions. They wanted to get to the point. They wanted frankly to get sound bites, because this was a public hearing, and not everyone was going to have a chance to look at five and a half hours of testimony. They want to hit the nail on the head of lets focus on, did the president do this, and is it a high crime or misdemeanor, making it very simple. Did the first day move the public needles any, in how the americans look at President Trump. Still 49 in favor of impeachment. When you look at the republican party, theres still a lot of people against this. What youll see probably is no matter what happens, the house and the senate are going to vote along party lines. I tend to think the American People are kind of following that mold. And in the senate they need 2 3rds, and the democrats have noy mere 2 3rds. The president will likely face impeachment. Its hard to expect 2 3rdsor any of the republicans will move on that. Well have the fall hearing as well as reaction on our home page. Just go to ktvu. Com.

Reporter the sheriffs office, which provides Police Services to both orinda, and lafayette can ask for help from moraga pd. Lets say theres a physical fight somewhere, or a burglary in progress.
