It looks like republicans will get the boat on impeachment procedure theyve been demanding. If the Party Leadership tonight however is encouraging a no vote. The resolution allows for open Intelligence Committee hearings and the House Minority can request witnesses and introduce evidence, but only with agreement from the democrats. One witness is still testifying on capitol hill at this hour. Lieutenant colonel Alexander Lindeman dressed in military blue uniform, the First Official who listened in on that phone call to testify. We have Fox Team Coverage done it, john roberts looks at the Administration Response to the resolution and the testimony ca. Within the last hour House Republican aides told reporters the resolution allows democrats to curate the narrative and limit access for the president s counsel to witness evidence as democrats take a quote on my formal step towards codifying their investigation. The House Democratic majority it made official, releasing the text of a resolution formally affirming and impeachment inquiry head of a planned thursday for vote. The house authorizes the committee on the judiciary to conduct proceedings relating to the impeachment inquiry, including such procedures as to allow for the participation of the president and his counsel. Republicans said the move prove their point, that the democratled inquiry is unfair. The resolution that was filed today, Speaker Pelosi affirms the soviet style process thats been going on and continues to deny due process. Colonel, vindman, will you take some questions . According to his prepared remarks, Alexander Vindman, told investigators behind closed doors told them i am not the whistleblower, but he added i did convey certain concerns internally to National Security officials in accordance with my decades of experience in training, sense of duty, and obligation to operate within the chain of command. Unlike previous witnesses, vindman says he has direct knowledge of the july 25th phone call between President Trump and the recentlyelected ukrainian leader, which launched the democrats impeachment inquiry. I listened in on the call. I did not think it was proper to demand that a Foreign Government investigator u. S. Citizen, and i was worried about the implications for the u. S. Government support of ukraine. House lawmakers debated the significance of vindmans testimony along familiar party lines. The transcripts get released for todays deposition, you will see just how much you were misled. You will see just how much you have been misled on so many different depositions on so many different days. This is about the United States constitution. This is about the rule of law. This is about National Security. This is about abuse of power. This is about the fact that the president betrayed his oath of office. Vindman told investigators that last summer all was going well until the ukrainians broached a meeting between President Trump and his ukrainian counterpart, at which point vindman claims Ambassador Gordon Sondland started to speak about ukraine delivering specific investigations in order to secure the meeting. I stated to ambassador sondland that his statements were inappropriate, that the request to investigate biden and his son had nothing to do with National Security. House republicans also accused democratic chairman of the house Intelligence Committee adam schiff of shutting down multiple lines of questioning today, including who vindman talked to immediately after that july 25th phone call, brett. Bret Catherine Herridge live on capitol hill, thanks. For weeks, republicans have dismissed the impeachment inquiry is based on secondhand information and not authorized by a full houseboat. Both defenses are now in question. Chief White House Correspondent john roberts is on the north lombardy of administration is not holding back the criticism of this process. Good evening. Good evening to you. The white house has made it quite clear for the last few weeks that it will not comply with the house impeachment inquiry unless and until nancy pelosi holds a vote in the full house to authorize it. Now that that vote is scheduled for thursday, the white house is digging in its heels even further. The resolution in the house appears to give President Trump at least some of what he wanted, including a vote in the full house, but in a statement late this afternoon, the white house of the resolution confirms that House Democrats impeachment has been an illegitimate sham from the start as it lacked an improper to my proper authorization by houseboat. The white house complains it is barred from participating at all until after chairman schiff conducts two rounds of onesided hearings to generate a bias report for the Judiciary Committee and points out the white house yesterday as rights remain undefined, unclear, and uncertain, because those rules still havent been written. On capitol hill, the president s allies are keeping up the drumbeat that the entire process is invalid. I applaud for finally admitting it is a sham but you cant put the genie back in the bottle. Due process starts at the beginning. President trump reaching out to his base not to go wobbly in the face of a more robust impeachment proceeding, tweeting nervous nancy pelosi is doing Everything Possible to destroy the republican party. Our polls show what is going to be just the opposite. The donothing dems will lose many seats in 2020. They have a death wish led by a corrupt politician, adam schiff while the president claims the resolution continues to deny him due process, democrats say it allows the president and his counsel to present their case and respond to evidence, attend hearings, open or closed, raise objections to testimony, and crossexamine witnesses. They realize that their defenses are declining and so first it was procedural, and now Speaker Pelosi has met their major procedural objections. But republicans still say that process is partisan, unfair, and ridiculous. The speaker is going to try to dress it up a little bit, put a little lipstick on the pig, as they say, at this vote on thursday, but its not going to change anything and i think youre going to see every single republican vote against it. On top of the proposed expansion of the impeachment inquiry, house investigators heard from the first witness wad from a witness was lit my glistening in on the phone call with ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky. While Alexander Vindman has been an employee of the National Security council since july 2018, President Trump today dismissed him. In one tweet calling him a nevertrumper witness, in another tweeting why are people ive never even heard of testifying about the call. Just read the halt on my call transcript in the impeachment hoax is over. Ukraine signal pressure. And that is the bottom line for the president and for republicans in congress. The democrats can haul as many witnesses as they want up to capitol hill but it doesnt change the basic fact that the transcript of that call is out there for all the world to see and come to their own conclusions. No doubt, bret, this resolution is going to be topic a at a republican fundraiser down the street at the Trump International hotel this evening. Bret.

But not everyone on capitol hill is a fan of the change.
