Only three have faced impeachment proceedings. Donald trump is the fourth. Nancy pelosi officially launching an impeachment inquiry against the president for possibly investigating joe biden at the time Ukrainian Military aid was being withheld. The president has fought oversight at every turn. Pelosi resisted impeachment calls for months but she now seems to believe necessity outweighs possible political fallout in the 2020 election. The white house plans to issue two key documents to slow the democratic momentum. It will release the whistleblower complaint that set off the scandal. The white house will put out the transcript of mr. Trumps call with the ukraine president. Joseph maguire appears before the committee tomorrow. Chairman adam schiff says he wants to speak to his panel. More now from manu raju. Good morning, christine and dave. After months of infighting, House Speaker nancy pelosi finally got behind the idea of an impeachment inquiry after democrat after democrat in her caucus called for impeachment proceedings at least to move forward. Theres the dishonorable act of the president s betrayal of his oath of office, National Security and betrayal of the integrity of our elections. Therefore today im announcing the house of representatives is moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry. The president must be healld accountable. No one is above the law. She made very clear the straw that broke the camels back was the complaint issued by this whistleblower and the president s handling of it as well as the substance of the allegation, the president himself talking on the phone with the ukrainian president talking about it. Shes saying thats one reason why, the big reason why we need to move forward. What does that actually mean . She says the six committees will continue their investigations and will ultimately decide whether to move on impeople. Then the house judiciary would vote and then the full house. You only need twothirds of the majority which includes republicans, which could take months. She wants it done expeditiously. While it may not lead to an imimpeachment, its historic in itself as hes only the fourth president. The groundswell is growing in the house. 196 now support it. An increase of 50 members in the day. A good deal of the holdouts were democrats in swing states. The ukraine whistleblower fallout was simply the final straw. I have been patient when we tried every other path and used every other tool. We will never find the truth unless we use the power given to the house of representatives and the house alone to begin an official investigation. Pelosi is telling colleagues the investigation will be done expeditiously. Democrats hope to have it done by the end of the year. This is the last week in session for the house before a twoweek recess. Obsession with impeachment. Thats how President Trump is trying to state it. They released this dramatic video less than 30 minutes after Nancy Pelosis official announcement. Cnn learns it was prepared week ago. Quote, we were ready in case the democrats were that dumb, and they were. On monday he said it was all about corruption. On tuesday he blamed europe. My complaint has always been and i withhold again and ill continue to withhold until such time as europe and other nations tribute to ukraine, because theyre not doing it. Just the United States. Were putting up the bulk of the money, and im asking why is that. The president claims there was never any, quote, quid pro quo withholding of release of money. Joe biden will call on the impeople. If the president doesnt comply. If we allow the president to shred the United States constitution, that will last forever. He continues to obstruction congress and ft. Lauderdale the law, donald trump will in my view leave congress no choice but to initiate impeachment. That would be a tragedy but a tragedy of his own making. Many said they should take up full impeachment proceedings. Overnight more extensive reporting from the Washington Post detailing how the president s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani prepared a shadowy timeline. Senior officials being circumvented and the suspension of hundreds of millions of dollars in aid. Several officials described tensions with some fearing the president was prepared to leverage the new ukrainian president for personal political gain. It should be an interesting visual when he and president zelensky me. They will meet at the u. N. Today. Matthew is in kiev today. They dont want to make it any worse for them. As bad as its coming for president through it, theyre fighting a war with russianbacked rebels east of the country. Theyve got a different kpanl under way to take back crimea that was annexed back in 2014. Both have had the strong backing of the United States. Yesterday i spoke to the former foreign minister of this country. Hes basically the only official speaking to us. Hes a former official at that and hes saying this is weakening ukraines position and handling the victory to the kremlin. For them, its a best way for them to in our unique i mean unique, not part of bipartisan support for ukraine. Now the russians should be should be held responsible. Do you hold President Trump responsible for driving that wedge . No. We have to remember during the summit and the idea to get the russians back into the g7. For me, you could not make America Great again by letting him feel better. Well, the transcript of the conversation in question, we expect, is going to be released later on today. Ukrainians are keep iing quiet about that. President zelensky said that conversation as far as hes concerned was private and confidential. Thank you. Take it a step back. Its remarkable a former comedian is at the center of the political universe. Quite a dynamic today between the two. Up next, parliament back in session after the minister argued it was unlawful as it changed the timeline for brexit. Cnn london next. After my dvt blood clot, i wondered. Could another come around the corner. Or could it play out differently . I wanted to help protect myself. My doctor recommended eliquis. Eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. Almost 98 of patients on eliquis didnt experience another. And eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling numbness or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planed medical or dental procedures. Whats around the corner could be your moment. Ask your doctor about eliquis. danny s voice of course you donte because you didnt . Your job isnt doing hard work. Its making them do hard work.

Lawmaker makers return to work in the United Kingdom after the ruling was made that Prime Minister johnsons law was unlawful. Lets go to tlondon and speak with kristen. They werent meant to be back until october 14th. As a result of that ruling theyre back. In over two hours time theyll be back in the house of opposition and revels itching to get their hands back on that brexit process. Boris johnson, his hands are very the hands of the opposition, rather, are very much tied. They simply cannot hold a vote of no confidence for the time being because the risk would be that the constitutional process would be so long that the United Kingdom would come crashing out on the 3 1st of october without anything done. So in a sense theyre leakiikel see the Prime Minister come back as weak as he is and all they can do is hold that brexit as tightly as he can. Talk a listen to what he said just before he left last night. We respect the judiciary in our country, the court. I disagree profoundly with what they had to say. Now, we dont know whether hell be speaking in the commons today. We expect he will be obliged to come explain himself. What he will have to say to them will be extremely interesting.

Right now had left the diplomatic circles and iran certainly wouldnt come back. I want you to look at the Iranian Foreign minister when our cameras caught up with him. He seemed to say no as well. Lets listen as well. Has there been any progress in talks with the United States, sir . We dont talk to the united stat states. We dont talk to the United States.
