Easter sunday. There is still rubble in front of here. The clock tower is stuck at 8 45 a. M. Thats when the bomber is believed to have attacked when worshippers gathered here. The death toll is staggering here. More than 500 wond unded. A memo cites a Foreign Intelligence Agency saying they had chatter of possible threats coming from a Sri Lankan Group and the possibility that they were planning suicide attacks against catholic churches and against the Indian High Commission here. Despite the warning, nothing was in place to protect this church from the deadly attack and the other two churches nor the three Luxury Hotels also attacked. One government minister called it negligence and in competenco. The government has apologized for letting the crucial piece of information slip through the cracks. There has not yet been a claim of responsibility. This is a country thats still very much in shock and mourning. One government minister said this is a new type of terrorism for sri lanka. That says a lot in a country that fought a civil war for decades here. Eye cthank you very much. Joining us is the editor and Editorial Board member ott bloomberg, bobby gosch. What do we know about the local terror group . We know little about them. They are so small they have barely registered on the radarov radarover radar of Counter Terrorism officials. They were known for vandalism, attacks on buddhist statues. One of the leaders was arrested and charged for inciting racial hatred. This is a huge leap to go from there to pull off a massive multi pronged terrorism attack. One of the biggest, deadliest terrorist attacks in asia. 300 people killed. Seven suicide bombers, six targets, three cities. This is an enormous group for a group that small. My sense is we are just beginning to hear the first when you say that you means the possible they coordinated with a larger outfit . That would be the immediate suggestion. In january police there found a weapons cache and a bunch of explosives in another town, not one of those attacked. At that time they said these weapons and this ammunition had something to do with the islamic state. There was no mention. They thought these would be used against buddhist targets, not the christian minority. People will be tempted to join dots together. Its too early to tell. We dont know enough it sounds like not enough dots were connected. There were red flags. A Police Source said they had a warning that something was coming. Now the top cabinet official says we are sorry as a government. We have to apologize to the. Fas a families and institutions. I dont know if they were out of practice because they havent had something electronic this for a long time. They didnt sound out the proper alerts they hadnt had practice for a long time. Suicide bombings familiar to those of a certain age. You have a generation of young people who have small memories of that war. That was connected to a small group with no real history. That allowed the authorities. Well continue to follow it throughout the morning. Thank you very much for being here. John . Democrats are grappling with the next move after the Mueller Report. At least two democratic president ial hopefuls are calling for impeachment. Saab abby philip is live at the white house with the latest. Reporter President Trump turned his anger to the testimony of those contributing to the second portion of the Mueller Report. Democrats are grappling with the idea that they may need to begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi scheduling a Conference Call with the Democratic Caucus today insisting Congress Wont be silent after a redacted version of the special counsels. Report was released last week. House Intelligence Committee chairman adam schiff said the caucus will weigh the option of impeachment over the coming weeks. We have to decide the best thing for the country. Is the best thing for the country to take up an impeachment proceeding or is it in the best interest of the country not to take up impeachment we know wont be successful because the Republican Leadership wont do its duty. Reporter jerry nadler saying he wants to hear mueller testify first. If proving some of this would be impeachable, yes. Obstruction would be impeachable. Reporter mueller outlined places where the president tried to thwart his probe. As a handful of the caucuss more progressive members and two 2020 candidates call for impeachment proceedings to begin this isnt politics. This is about what the president of the United States should be able to do and what the role of congress is in saying, no, a president doesnt get to come in and stop an investigation about a foreign power that attacked this country. Reporter President Trump respond how you impeach a republican president for a crime committed by democrats . As members of the administration falsely insist the president was exonerated the president is not going to jail. Hes staying in the white house for five and a half more years. Reporter Rudy Giuliani raising eyebrows with this defense of the willingness to accept political help from russians. Any candidate in the world in america would take information from a foreign source . A hostile foreign source . Who says its illegal . There is nothing wrong with taking information from russi s russians. Depends on where it came from. Reporter it would require 20 Senate Republicans to join with democrats to impeach President Trump. A high bar. One republican senator mitt romney did criticize President Trump for conduct described in the Mueller Report only to be attacked by Rudy Giuliani on the sunday morning shows and by President Trump. Thanks, abby. Well dig deeper now with sun min kim, democrats at the crossroads. How do they see the riskreward ratio . Its a delicate balancing act for nancy pelosi and her leadership team. The consensus they have is they want to continue to investigation. They want to continue digging. Its the impeachment question. Since the redacted Mueller Report was released you saw a caucus struggling with this. They look at the report and see information about the president s conduct they feel they cannot ignore. They also recognize the reality that hes not going to be removed from office except through the normal electoral process. So they are wrestling with this question. Now it will be debated later in calls and meetings. What Elijah Cummings of the Oversight Committee said was interesting when he said history will smile on democrats in the house if they proceed with this, even if it doesnt have a chance in the Senate History may smile, politics may not. Thats the rub. Is the consensus among the leadership to let the investigations go forward and how much pressure will the left exert on president ial candidates . Its a lot of pressure coming from some of the president ial candidates. Im not sure what Elizabeth Warren and jouulian castro have said will rain down on the other candidates. The drumbeat you will continue to hear from House Democrats now is the requests for more information. We know democrats were not satisfied with the redacted report. They were asking for the entire report for weeks now, including the underlying information. You see how that demand serves an they can punt the impeachment question saying to make a full determine first nation on whether we pursue impeachment we need more information. We need the full up redacted report. The public supports them on this. A recent poll said 60 of voters support Congress Getting the full report. But the public doesnt support them on the impeachment question not even a little. Stand on triprinciple, risk political backlash . Well see. Wait for this story. A comedian who rose to fame playing the president of ukraine on tv is about to become the new president of ukraine. Exit polls show the comic beating the incumbent in a landslide victory. Phil black is live in kiev with more. Tell us how this happens, phil. Reporter it looks like a spectacular victory for vladimir zalinsky. It was an extraordinary campaign. Hes not a politician. He has no experience. S he became famous through pretending to be the president on television. Through playing the character of a regular guy who accidentally becomes president and goes about fighti fighting corruption. He did it in a vague way. No detailed policy, no real public discussions or rallies. Rather slick online videos where he mocked the old guard of ukrainian politics. It really resonated across ukraine either with people who were desperate for change. The protest vote, if you like. Or those who were sold on him and are looking to him to deliver on their hopes and dreams. On day one of his presidency hell face a long list of big problems including the economy, quality of life and poverty. There is the war in the east of the country against russianbacked separatists. Thats a significant problem. We are now looking at a scenario where the man who has become famous as a professional clown is the person who will be standing up to, negotiating with a man not known for his easy smiles, the russian president vladimir putin. An cr an incredibly experienced leader. President trump has called him to congratulate him. The last president was kicked out of office through a violent, hard won roevolution. That was only five years ago very interesting times. To say the least. Alec baldwin is on line two. Wants to me the when hell get in the race. On that note we have breaking news. Another democratic member of congress is jumping into the race. Thats next. You wouldnt accept an incomplete job from any one else. Why accept it from your allergy pills . Flonase relieves your worst symptoms including nasal congestion, which most pills dont. Flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. Most pills only block one. Flonase. We have breaking 2020 news. Seth mollton of massachusetts is rouning for president. We need to restore our moral authority. Whether its appointing a cabinet member, negotiating a treaty or signing an executive or order. I will uphold americas values. I want us to beat donald trump because i love this country. We have never been a country that gets everything right. At our best, we think we might. I would be honored if you would join me in this mission it is a crowded field of democrats. I think thats fair to say 19. Exactly right. These are the people challenging donald trump. We are joined by abby philip. Great to see you this morning. We have had seth moulton on the program. Hes an impressive guy with an impressive background. Seung min, what is the mental calculation somebody undertakes when they say there are 18 other people, but there is still a lane. Whats the thinking here . The phrase has been ever senator gets up in the morning and sees the president. I guess every house member also sees that. This is a crowded lane. What congressman moulton is seeking to do is to. Create a platform centered on National Security. No candidate made it his or her specific lane, specific focus. There are two other veterans in the race. Mayor Pete Buttigieg and tulsi gabbard. They have been focused on broader issues. Congressman moulton wants to see how that resonates in this crowded field. Hes gotten some backlash at home. It will be an interesting candidacy to watch fascinating. 40 years old, former marine. Only politician im aware of who didnt talk about medals hed won. The folks on National Security are letting someone else make the argument will be joe biden. You are hearing this will make his big announcement this week. Tell us more. John, we expect joe biden to make things official after months of deliberation and deadlines that seemed to pass. Im told by those involved in the discussions that he will li likely be announcing via video followed by a series of events. Really, bidens entry in the race will answer the biggest remaining question about what the field will look like. We could see other candidates enter into the coming weeks as well. Biden is one big name people are waiting so see how hell shake up the race. Hes the front runner in the polls. One interesting thing is that biden has never run as a frontrunner. How will he handle the status as he expects arrows to come his way. Also from his fellow democrats do folks at the white house put joe biden in a different category from the rest of the candidates . They do. Unlike most of the candidates biden has what President Trump has which is universal name recognition. Its important in a race where you have 19 candidates, all at various levels of notoriety in the public sphere. Biden for one is at the top of the pack. People know who he is. Beyond that there is a really issue for the white house about bidens potential platform, his ris nan resonance with working class voters. The hold on households that shifted to President Trump in the last election. Trump advisers, if they are being honest, will tell you thats a big piece of the puzzle. If hes going to recite it, hes going to hold onto many of the people in the industrial midwest and states like pennsylvania and elsewhere. Biden is one person they think has the best chance of doing that in the next race how is biding being seen in the democratic field . Obviously an icon as president obamas vice president. He would be one of the oldest. Might he be on the wrong side of the timeline and not liberal enough . Hes leading in democratic polling. Him and senator bernie sanders. A lot of that seems to be universal name recognition. There is no doubt hes the front runner. There is also no doubt hell have to contend with a lot of questions about his past, whether its behavior. We know theres been a lot of stories about different women who said they werent comfortable with his physical affection in recent years. Also questions about his policies and how he handled certain high profile issues as a senator looking at financial policy, looking at how he handled the anita hill hearing as a member of the judiciary committee. They are questions that as the Democratic Party has shifted more progressive. They are questions that biden is preparing for and has to answer. Once he officially gets in the race as this is happening, there is also the question as we start the new week of what democrats are going to do now that they have seen, for the most part, Robert Muellers findings. They are all having meetings, debating what their next course of action is. Let me play for you what one of the president ial candidates, senator Elizabeth Warren said shes been the most vocal about calling for impeachment investigations. Listen to this. I took an oath to the constitution of the United States and the constitution makes it clear that the accountability of the president lies through congress. Thats the impeachment process is there a feeling that the idea is gaining momentum. We are see iing different strategies. You have Elizabeth Warren and Julian Castro saying they should begin impeachment proceedings. Its basically not saying they have to push for impeachment. They need to have hearings and let the process play out. Whats interesting to watch is whether the bet that someone like Elizabeth Warren is making on gloioing ahead and making th impeachment proceedings, putting that front and center. Whether it will play off with a core base of voters who feel they would like to see the president impeached. One thing the democratic primary candidates are noting is they are not getting questions about the Mueller Report or impeachment on the campaign trail. Well see how it plays out as we await fallout from the report speaking of defining the debate. I have to ask you what the reaction is to Rudy Giuliani going on the show this weekend and telling jake tapper getting information from russia is no big deal there is nothing wrong with taking information from russians. Nothing wrong depends on where it came from. Youre assuming that the giving of information is a campaign Trail Campaign contribution. The law is pretty much against that. People get information from this person, that person you would have accepted information from russians against a candidate if you were running in the president ial election . I probably wouldnt. I wasnt asked. I would have advised out of an excess of caution, dont do it is this the new white house line . People have been saying for weeks that Rudy Giuliani maybe lost it. Some people say hes crazy like a fox. This might be one of the examples where Rudy Giuliani is doing what hes done for the president for the last year and change which is basically moving the goal posts in the public sphere. Changing the debate about whats wrong and whats right. On pen and paper, what hes saying in the clip is it is not illegal. As a result of that its permissib permissible. You cant criticize President Trump for that. Thats a political argument aimed at undermining the talk about impeachment we have been talking about. I wouldnt be surprised if you hear the president s a
