Im dave briggs. December 6th. Were 59 days to the Iowa Caucuses and one step closer to impeachment. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has officially directed the Judiciary Committee to lay out the charges against the president in articles of impeachment. Just hours ago, at a live cnn town hall, pelosi said the constitution and the facts are now clear. This is a very sad day, i think, for our country. Its something i would hope we could have avoided. But the president s actions made it necessary. You cannot violate the constitution in full view. Here are the next steps in the process. The white house has until 5 00 p. M. This afternoon to decide whether they will participate in a hearing on monday. Lawyers from the intelligence and Judiciary Committee will present their findings from investigations into the president. Mondays hearing sets up a issue judiciary vote with a vote of the full house possible the week before christmas. Lauren fox with more from capitol hill. Reporter dave and christine, nancy pelosi, the speaker of the house, making it clear, the democrats are moving forward with impeaching the president. The president leaves us no choice but to act, because he is trying to corrupt, once again, the election, for his own benefit. Reporter now, what we do know is that next week is going to be another explosive one on capitol hill. On monday, the house Judiciary Committee will hold another hearing, this one to discuss that 300page report from the house intelligence committee, all revolving around that july 25th phone call between donald trump and ukraines president , zelensky. The democrats will have to be drafting the articles of impeoplement. We have a sense of where they are going. Whether or not the president obstructed congress, not allowing witnesses or information to be revealed to the intelligence committee. We know theyre looking at the abuse of power charges against the president. And there is a debate within the Democratic Caucus whether to broaden this out to include anything in the mueller report. We know that could potentially come in the form of an obstruction of justice article of impeachment. All that will have to be voted out of the house Judiciary Committee. And then, the week after, they vote on the house floor whether or not to impeach president donald trump. If thats the move the democrats want to move, it would make donald trump the third in history be to be impeached. Speaker nancy pelosi had this scathele answer to a reporting. A reporter from the Sinclair Broadcast Group asked if she hates President Trump. She came back with a passionate no. As a catholic, i resent your using the word hate in a sentence that addresses me. I dont hate anyone. I was raised in a way that is a heart full of love. And always pray for the president. And i still pray for the president. I pray for the president all the time. So, dont mess with me when it comes to words like that. President trump reacted with a tweet. He accused pelosi of having a, quote, nervous fit in that moment and lying about praying for him. Pelosi was asked about the reporters question and the president s tweet at cnns town hall last night. The word hate is a terrible word. For him to say that was really disgusting to me. The president is a master at projecting. When you call somebody else nervous, hes the nervous one. When he suspects somebodys not praying, hes probably not praying. But i do pray for him because he is the president of the United States. And i pray that god will open his heart to meeting the needs of people in our country. After months of trying to stop the impeachment in the democratic house, the president and his aides and allies have accepted its all but certain and are turning their attention to his trial in the republicanled senate. The white house signaling it will try to turn the tables on democrats, aimed not only to stop the president s reprooufl but to turn the senate trial to his political advance. That story at the white house. Reporter dave and christine, with impeachment likely a foregone conclusion, the senate is mounting a robust defense of President Trump. The white house is going to try to use this as an opportunity to bash democrats and score points. The president tipping his hand a bit on twitter, writing he may compel some prominent democrats to testify. He writes, schiff, the bidens, pelosi and many more testify and well reveal for the first time how corrupt our system is. I was elected to clean the swamp and thats what im doing. Trump later tweeting its a good thing that republicans have never been more united. Trump will lean on Senate Republicans to bide a senate trial in a way thats favorable for the white house. And to potentially call up the roster of witnesses he says he would like to hear from. Notably the white house counsel, pat cipollone, whomembers of th White House Communications team has been meeting with republicans for weeks trying to iron out strategy and messaging and fix problems before they pop up. Disagreements whether that whistleblower whose complaint led to the impeachment process should testify. Plenty for the two sides to iron out. The president , though, sounding confident he was asked on thursday, if he believed that impeachment would be a stain on his legacy. Listen to what he said. Is this a stain on your legacy . Not at all. Its a hoax. A big, fat hoax. Reporter one other note. While weve been hearing from forces that the president is unlikely to grasp the reality that he will be impeached from the white house, he is hiring dozens of attorneys for what will come in january. Thanks, boris. New developments on trade. China is considering tax exceptions on some pork and soy products from the u. S. The tariff waivers were based on applications of individual firms for park imports. Thats what the finance Ministry Said in a statement. Tend of the year is coming and President Trump has not closed on two big deals he campaigned for in 2016. China and the north america trade deal. For china, the tariffs on chinese good is december 16th. The wall street journal reports the hangup here, the u. S. Hangup, is on the size of the farm goods purchases. Chinese state media said china wants current tariffs rolled back, specifically the ones that rolled in september. Thats their hangup. The president said this about additional tariffs. Right now, were moving along. Were having major discussions. On december 15th, something could happen. But were not discussing that yet. Bottom line, everything is up for grabs here. Trump said a deal was imminent in october. Back in june, the treasury secretary said the deal was 90 complete. Thursday, talks were progressing. Then, trumps north american deal the usmca. They are trying to ratify that deal before the holiday recess. The president complained that house Speaker Nancy Pelosi is holding up the deal. It is clear that trade wars are not easy to win. And competing headlines will be the Market Drivers until something is decided. Back to the usmca, whats the hold up in that deal . Theres a couple of things. The democrats want more labor protections. They want enforcement of labor protections. They want to be able to see that factories in mexico have the same standards that u. S. Factories have. Not likely. The Mexican Government look. Theres a lot there up for grabs. Protections for u. S. Workers seem to be at issues for the democrats. All right. Ahead, a terrifying rush hour scene. A Deadly Police gun battle in broad daylight. Details, next. A frightening fatal gun battle breaks out when Armed Robbers hijack a u. P. S. Truck during rush hour and led police on a dramatic chase. It started when two men robbed a Coral Gables Jewelry score. One woman at the store was hurt. Minutes later, the police said they took a hostage at gunpoint. And they led police on a breakneck 20mile chase, driving on sidewalks and through a barricade with dozens of emergency vehicles in pursuit. This is what dangerous people do to get away. And this is what people will do to avoid capture. If people give up and are held accountable for their crimes, we wouldnt put these many people in danger. Police approached the truck when it got stuck in heavy traffic. They say both suspects, the u. P. S. Driver, and a bystander at the end of the chase, were killed. It is day seven of joe bidens barnstorming tour across iowa. He will be joined by john kerry, who just endorsed biden. On day six, biden had a Heated Exchange with a voter at a town hall.

He is the winner of the Iowa Caucuses, a failed president ial candidate in the general. But he does know how to win the caucuses. He hopes his endorsement will help the former Vice President over the next two months or so in iowa. It was a different home from a town hall on thursday in new hampton, iowa, that overshadowed that news. You, on the other hand, sent your sunday over there to work for a gas company that he had no experience with. In order to get access to the public for the president.
