People. Nancy pelosi says this to the white house should be warned to continue to try to hide the truth of the abuse of power will be regarded is further evidence of obstruction. Mr. President , you are not about the law and you will be held accountable. And moments ago, Vice President joe biden for the first time calling for President Trump to be impeached. He should be impeached. Not only because of what he has done, but to answer whether he has committed acts sufficient towards impeachment is obvious. But we have to remember that impeachment isnt only about what the president has done. Its about the threat the president poses to the nation if allowed to remain in office. Dana joined me now as a Ranking Member on the house judiciary committee, Georgia Republican congressman doug collins. As these things go, donald trump right there tweeting, so pathetic to see Sleepy Joe Biden who with his son hunter and to the detriment of the american taxpayer has ripped off at least two countries for millions of dollars coming from a impeachment and i did nothing wrong. Joes failing campaign give him no other choice. You sir are focused on the process and the law. Where do you think and things stand now . Is good to be with you. She said the white house is continuing to hide his actions, and thats not true. The speaker needs to be more careful with what she says because there has not been an impeachment inquiry in any historical fashion. The clinton investigation in the late 90s, the nixon impeachment series, there was always a fairness issue and the American People are beginning to see that nancy pelosi and adam schiff like going behind closed doors where no one can examine what they are doing what they can only leak out information that they want to have and nobody in this country believes that that is american. They believe on a look at it on face value they dont even like with the president is doing. They do not believe that it should be done in an unfair way and thats what shes doing right now. Theres a little bit more back and forth. This is the acting director and he had this to say. Yesterdays letter speaks for itself. We will not be part of any sham process thats designed to it, could relitigate the last election when the American People spoke clearly and soundly saying they want President Trump to be their president and that is now being used to influence the next election. Dana adam schiff, chairman of the house and Intel Committee tweeted this. The white house says theres nothing wrong with pressuring a Foreign Government and they say they will not cooperate with an impeachment inquiry unless its on their terms. They mean the president is above the law and the constitution says otherwise. To make it very clear for folks, the democrats maintain that they dont have to hold an actual vote in order to actually charge the president with obstruction. Is that how you read the constitution . What i read here is what the house has done in this historical preference. Lets put this back where it needs to be. When the house comes together to form an inquiry, that is their discussion to see if theres something actually there that they will then take and write articles of impeachment which are the actual documents in which she would impeach the president with. The problem they are having here is, every time and ive lived through the circus of the house judiciary committee. This is about a 2016 election moving into a 2020 election. If its to be fair, the inquiry just to be as it was under constant puts rights and procedures in place where the minority has rights with the president and his team having input into the processes and they are not wanting that. Every time they wanted to have an investigation cleared the president or it showed that there is no impeachable offenses. This president is a disruptor, this president does things and this president is action orientated. They just simply have now found the tool and the solution. Dont do it out in public, dont have due process. Let adam schiff run his little gang according to how he wants to. Understand in america you have the right to defend yourself and nancy pelosi, adam schiff, jerry nadler and the rest of the crew dont like that because theyve gained nothing in nine months and the people are is starting to understand it. She did not want to go to this impeachment inquiry. Now it feels like its on hyperspeed and ive just been told recently in the last couple hours that because of the president s letter in which he says we are not participated in this, she might actually speed things up and go forward with a vote, an article of impeachment on obstruction. Do you think that that could happen as soon as next week . I dont think it will happen as soon as next week. If Speaker Pelosi is willing to put her house speakership on the line, if shes willing to go forward to the American People and explain to the American People why shes being unfair, why she is being unamerican, why she has not ask for due process, then thats the choice that shes going to have to make. This president has been very clear. Shes the one to save the American People and we have to understand if shes wanting to do this on obstruction, shes doing this to force her members. Congressman doug collins of georgia, thanks for being with us today. Lets bring in jim trustee, a former Justice Department prosecutor. Maybe you can help us understand this issue even more. About what the constitution says, what is obstruction, does the white house have a point and a good one at the house should have to vote on this before they are actually able to get subpoenaed documents. Theres a lot to unpack there but it does seem that the houses specifically avoiding the use of subpoenas, which is easy if you havent voted on everything. And, if they want to try to compel the attendance of witnesses or documents, they have two subpoenas which is what triggers the court part. Its a subpoena, they are headed there in a dramatic and open way and during the other side to buckle. Dana and its happening quickly. You think democrats ought to be careful with what they ask for . Even the first witness they were talking about, it was someone who was probably pretty friendly or pretty helpful to President Trump on this issue of the ukraine. Fast forward a little bit to rudy giuliani, that will be the ultimate televised circus. He will be an incredible person to help on the stand who will probably call out chairman schiff and anyone else who gets in his way and probably inject a few of his own opinions into the proceedings. Dana and he has a new lawyer, too. Trey gowdy is coming on board to help the president. The circus that you are talking about, part of it is the protection of the whistleblower and is trying to have all this done in secret, the congressman was pointing out that having that done in secret, that is actually unfair. In a court of law that would not hold up but impeachment is not about law. Impeachment is a political decision. Impeachment is, its a process according to the court of law but its utterly foreign to go forward. To have this concept of removing the president from office or pitched on his approval will shock a lot of people. And now what you have with the whistleblower, and i think thats a very generous use of the word whistleblower, is a person that they are saying might be threatened with death who gives this kind of invulnerability. How dare you attack this brave american and anonymous person who suddenly being threatened with death . I dont buy that. But thats a new tactic to make sure nobody challenges the reliability of someone who has some inherent challenges. Dana the whistleblower laws are important in our country. Isnt that about making sure that that person is not fired . Right. Its designed to promote the concept that if your conscience grabs you and you see something around you thats going wrong or you are participating on some level of something going wrong, you can freely come out and talk to an attorney general or Inspector General and say, i see something thats wrong, now go investigate it. You keep that channel open at all times. And that makes sense. When you right a term paper giving a Closing Argument as to why they think that might be a violation of law. The whistleblower says in the complaint, does not have firsthand information. Somebody had to give him that information. Is that someone possibly in trouble here, in violation of anything . It depends on what kind of information. And thats the hunt within the hunt remember in the clinton, and we dont have anything like that here. So its wide open as to not only what the facts are, and people are hidden from view. Dana and thats where we are with all the latest of elements.

Dana President Trump is defending his moves on syria as we are learning that turkey has a military operation now under way and that northern part of the country, northern syria. National security correspondent Jennifer Griffin is live from the pentagon with this. Sources tell fox that turkish operations are much broader than originally believed, far whiter and far deeper than expected. The Syrian Democratic forces and the kurdish allies of the u. S. Are requesting urgent air support from the u. S. Military and the creation of a nofly zone. President trump has ordered the u. S. Military not to help. Turkish air strikes on kurdish positions have begun and u. S. Military commanders are warned repeatedly that this could lead to the ethnic cleansing of kurdish fighters who fought site u. S. Forces to defeat the isis. The turkish president ignored the president of the United States and they warned him of this likely and mike millie were both on the sunday night phone call with turkey, when trump signaled the u. S. Was pulling out. They pull back those 3050 u. S. Troops when they were promised the courage they keep with the turkey. The u. S. Can interfere those troops would be overrun. U. S. Troops in syria do not know what comes next. The kurds have they have fought sidebyside with said they never thought the u. S. Would betray them like this. Now the fear is the kurds will leave them with isis fighters imprisoned in Eastern Syria which would cause the rebirth of the isis insurgency. Dana for more on this, daniel hoffman, and can i ask you about that point that jennifer just made which is, there are many isis prisoners that are being held by the kurds, but if the herds have to lead to protect themselves what happens to those prisoners . Thats a great concern. They are roughly estimated may be 70,000 prisoners, may be 10,000 of whom are those hardened fighters. President trump was in a tough spot because europe and other countries wouldnt take them back, they prefer they be tried where they committed their crimes but at the end of the day they were stuck in prison. And it, they will continue to be free and export trade themselves and attacked the region and beyond. Dana Michael Durrant of the Hudson Institute road and the New York Post today, why pg and basically saying in the meantime, america also held a turkey at bay. However lindsey graham, the center for turf from South Carolina said it, pray for our kurdish allies that have been shamelessly abandoned by the trump administration. We have to recognize that the kurds played a Critical Role along with their very small special Operations Forces can do. I think the small troop commitment we had there was leveraged for a possible diplomatic solution. But we didnt get to that point unfortunately and the kurds will suffer as a result. What im worried about again, isis has destroyed their self all called a caliphate but they will go back to their roots which is an insurgency and continue to be a threat to us in the region. That was a situation that was terrible. And in order to help beat back isis, do you really think thats the risk . I think there is concern about where we go from here. And thats an ongoing commitment, openended arguably so that we can continue to preempt threats and stop them before they are visited on our shores. We have troops in europe and south korea, and that was the argument that the chairman of the joint chief of staff was making for syria. Dana thats all unfolding right now and we will be back in touch with you. Daniel hoffman, thank you. Disgraced former anchor matt lauer facing a brandnew accusation.

Matt lauer released a lengthy letter to variety this morning just moments after th the today show broadcast ended defending himself against the new allegations putting himself in a hotel and forcing himself on an associate producer who said she cried and a pillow throughout the assault. And a former staffer Brooke Neville tells farrell that lauer her in his hotel room while the two were on assignment. Matt lauers conduct was appalling, horrific and reprehensible. Thats why he was fired within 24 hours of us first learning of the complaint. Our hearts break again for our colleague. Neville says after a boozy night at their hotel bar, she went to his hotel room. She claims lauer pushed her onto a bed asking her if she liked a particular type of. She claims she said no several times but that he just did it. Lauers former nbc colleagues reacted to the allegations this morning. We dont know all the facts and all of this but there are not allegations of an affair, its allegations of a crime. I think that is shocking to all of us here who have sat with matt for many, many years. Lauer claims the sochi hotel was the beginning of a several month long affair. He released a statement which read in recent part, i had an extramarital affair with Brooke Nevill
