Cell phone video capturing the exact moment a construction site at the Hard Rock Hotel in new orleans came crashing down. Announcer this is new day weekend with Victor Blackwell and christi paul. We start this hour with the new reporting on one of the key witnesses in the impeachment inquiry. The Washington Post says that Gordon Sondland, the u. S. Ambassador to the europe union, will Tell Congress that President Trump told him exactly what to write in the text message he sent to the top u. S. Diplomat in ukraine denying quid pro quo. The text is a major focal point of House Democrats impeachment probe. Soo Sarah Westwood is joining us from washington. We are should point out sondland is expected to say he doesnt fif the president was telling him the truth when he directed him to send that text message. Reporter the white house not commenteding specifically on what the Washington Post is reporting that Gordon Sondland is expected to tell lawmakers but keep in mind the Trump Administration did try to block sondlands system this week. We saw the white house declare war on the impeachment proceedings. Sondland, according to the Washington Post, is expected to tell lawmakers that in a phone conversation, President Trump told him exactly what to write in that september 9th text exchange. Keep in mind in that Exchange Bill taylor, the top u. S. Diplomat in ukraine, said that it would be crazy to withhold aid with help with the campaign and Gordon Sondland replied, bill, i believe you are inindirect about President Trumps intentions. The president has been chris cal clear no quid wrote quos of any kind. Sondland is expected to tell lawmakers that President Trump told him to write that and expected to tell lawmakers at the time he did not noknow the motivations for the reason for the administration was withholding 400 Million Dollar security aid to ukraine. Sondland is not the only official expected to testify on capitol hill this week. Tomorrow youll see hill testifying and tuesday youll see george kent, Deputy Assistant secretary at the state department and then sondland and brechbuhl is expected to testify and then bill taylor. All of this led by House Democrats. President trump was railing against the democrats last night when he spoke at the value voter summit and even threatened to sue adam schiff and speaker pelosi. Take a listen. I tell my lawyers, sue him any way. He has got immunity. But they cant mean immunity for that. I said sue him any way. Even if we lose, the American Public will understand. And sue nancy pelosi. Or maybe we should just impeach them. Reporter as we have noted, that is not a thing. You cant sue a member of congress for something that they say on the floor of congress. Lawmakers will return to washington after a break this week and we will see these impeachment proceedings deepen. Sarah westwood, thank you. President trump is defending Rudy Giuliani calling him a great guy who is rough around the edges sometimes. Yesterday, the New York Times reported that giulianis dealings with ukraine are part of a federal investigation but in a phone conversation last night, the president had nothing but praise for his personal attorney. Hes a great gentleman. He was a great mayor. Maybe one of the greatest mayor in the history of new york. He was a fantastic prosecutor. I know nothing about him being under investigation. As somebody said, i heard a report today. I cant imagine it. He is a man that looks for corruption and whatever he does, i really believe he is a totally i mean, i know he is an honorable man. I stand behind Rudy Giuliani. Absolutely. Again, he was a crime fighter from day one. Its a change from friday when the president told reporters that he didnt know if Rudy Giuliani was his lawyer. Rudy giuliani tells cnn he is not aware that he is under investigation. Lets break out a bit here this president s threat to sue. The president s attorney jay sekulow says the president s threat to sue schiff and pelosi is nothing off the table. The constitution takes it off the table. The speech and debate clause senators and representatives in automatic cases except treason, felony, and breach of the spes be privileged from arrest during their attendance of the session of their respective houses and for any speech or debate in either house they shall not be questioned in any other place. James wilson one of the original justices of Supreme Court explained this about members of congress. It is necessary he should enjoy thefuls liberty of speech and be protected from the resentment of everyone, however, powerful, to whom the exercise of that liberty may occasion offense. That is the constitution regardless of what the president says about suing nancy pelosi and adam schiff. Lets bring in now april ryan, White House Correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks and cnn political analyst. April, good morning to you first. Good morning, victor. We have settled that. Lets talk about what the white house, those around the president , regardless of what he says at a summit, are they confident in a defense or a narrative that they are trying to put up what we are seeing against the democrats in the house . No, they are never confident. Because you have a president who could be on the page with them for a moment and then hell change the script. So its always flying by the seat of your pants at the white house. But at the end of the day, this president is going to do what he wants, what he wants. It may not always necessarily be about the American People. At this moment, this lawsuit is about the president or the potential or his threat of a lawsuit of adam schiff and nancy pelosi. Its about him, businehis persob and not about the American People. At the end of the day i talked with senator benefit cardan and he said this is a serious constitutional issue for members of the house and senate to undertake as it realities to the impeachment inquiry and if it goes into articles of impeachment and they have the impeachment hearings and things of that nature. That is serious and under the constitution and this president should not try to impede the process. We will see how close his attorney Rudy Giuliani comes to that process. On twitter he called him a legendary crime buster and the greatest mayor in the history of the New York Times. There was some vacillating on friday with, i dont know if he is my attorney, has been. Right. We have seen the space the president between himself and mike cohen and paul man a forty. Does this relationship appear to be different than those . It depends on the day. And the news of the day and whatever happens behind the closed doors we dont know about, where the president stands with whomever it is. Rudy giuliani, yes, we know him. We knew him as a hero during 9 11. He was the mayor. He was the worlds mayor. He was there when the twin towers came down and all of the havoc that happened around one of the worst terrorist attacks on american soil. But there has been times since then. He is now playing a different role. He is now this bombastic man who goes on television and says things as the president s lawyer that maybe he shouldnt say. You know, he talked about going over to the ukraine and doing Opposition Research on joe biden. Now he is in trouble for it. Now the president is in trouble about it and the president has gone out talking about, you know, getting china, communist country to investigate the United States. One good lawyer would say shut up. Giuliani is putting himself and the president in jeopardy and they need to be quiet but its too late. The or more stark juxtaposition you mentioned 9 11. According to the New York Times he is being investigated by the office he once led there in the Southern District of new york. 30 seconds on this if you can just limit it to that. We know that Gordon Sondland, the ambassador to the eu, will be on capitol hill this week, expected to tell lawmakers that what he text that there is no quid pro quo, that came directly from the president. We will see what he says late this week. What is the reaction to inside the white house to these employees defying the orders from the state department, from the administration, not to cooperate . They dont like it, bottom line. They dont like it i. Will there be a consequence or any indication a consequence . There is always retaliation. Even beyond what we know, there will be retaliation from this president and this administration for whomever defies what the president says. End of story. April ryan, good to have you. By the way by the way i knew there was something by the way yesterday, the Morgan State University won yesterday for our homecoming. Im so sorry but im happy.
