Reporter well, david, they are concerned, and officials just now identifying 16 people they believe this patient came into close contact with, but this man did not show symptoms until he arrived home in washington and because he knew he was high risk, he immediately went to urgent care, alerted them of his travels and so doctors there were able to take proper precautions in treating him. And david, so far, none of those doctors have shown any symptoms. That is encouraging. Kayna whitworth leading us off again on this story. Thank you. And now to the impeachment trial of President Trump tonight, day two, and now the democrats up first. Making their case. They get 24 hours over three days to do this. They are arguing at this hour, the president abused his power, they say, trying to get ukraine to announce an investigation into the bidens and withholding u. S. Aid that had already been passed by congress. Lead maker adam schiff arguing the president should be removed from office. And trying to convince key moderate republican senators to allow for witnesses in the trial, to make it a fair trial, he says. Tonight, the president s team already responding and abcs mary bruce on the hill. Reporter in the Senate Chamber today, the democratic prosecutors invoking the words of alexander hamilton, saying the framers warned against a president like donald trump. And his object is to throw things into confuse, that he might ride the storm and direct the whirlwind. Reporter chairman adam schiff saying thepresidtshoonv instige joe biden is exactly the kind of scenario the framers feared. They feared that a president would subvert our democracy by abusing the awesome power of his office for his own personal or political gain. Reporter democrats say the president withheld nearly 400 million in military aid to serve his own political needs. The president used the hold on military aid as leverage to pressure ukraine to announce these investigations that he hoped would help his reelection campaign. Reporter the president , it appears, was watching from air force one, just 30 minutes later, trump tweeting, no pressure. In a series of methodical speeches, the democrats laid out their case, arguing the facts are not in dispute. They cant contest the facts. The president was the key player in this scheme. Everyone was in the loop. He directed the actions of his team. He personally asked a Foreign Government to investigate his opponent. Reporter democrats warned the president must be removed from office to protect the 2020 election. The president went to extraordinary lengths to cheat in the next election. Reporter the democrats say the evidence paints a, quote, overwhelming and damning picture, and are imploring republicans to let them call additional witnesses the white house has blocked. Only then, they say, will the world know the full extent of the president s wrongdoing. Youll hear from witnesses who have not yet testified, like john bolton and mick mulvaney, mr. Blair and mr. Duffy. And if you can believe the president s words last month, you will also hear from secretary pompeo. You will hear their testimony at the same time as the american people. That is, if you allow it. But that remains an open question tonight. Mary bruce live at the capitol, and mary, as democrats there try to convince those moderate republicans to allow for witnesses, the president s defense team already prepared to argue against that, and tonight, theyre already vowing to challenge the facts already presented today . Reporter david, throughout this entire day, the president s team has had to sit silently in the chamber. They say that they are now revising their defense, based on what they have heard from the democrats and, of course, how the president reacts. David . Thats right. They have to sit through three days of this before they make their case. Mary bruce, thank you. And President Trump in switzerland, calling a News Conference on all of this, weighing in on the length of the trial, on the idea of witnesses and some very candid words from the president when it comes to the idea of hearing from john bolton in the impeachment trial. Abcs Kyra Phillips traveling with the president tonight. Reporter President Trump returning from europe tonight after lashing out at the democrats who put him on trial. They talked about their tremendous case and its all done they tremendous case. They had no case. Its a hoax. Its a con job. Reporter hes charged with abuse of power. His lawyers claim thats not an Impeachable Offense. But the president . Not so sure. Is abuse of power an Impeachable Offense . Well, it depends. But if you take a look at this and from what everybody tells me, all i do is, im honest. Reporter senior white house sources tell abc news theyre planning for a short trial. But the president says he wants a long one. He also claims he wants to hear from witnesses like former National Security adviser john bolton, even though he is the one blocking bolton from testifying. The problem with john is that its a National Security problem. You know, you cant have somebody whos at National Security. And if you think about it, john, he knows some of my thoughts. He knows other things. And i dont know if we left in the best of terms, i would say probably not, you know. And so, you dont like people testifying when they didnt leave on good terms. Reporter the president seemed to relish the idea of crashing the impeachment trial and staring down democrats himself. So, what do you think . Will you show up at your trial any day in any way shape or form . Id love to go. Wouldnt that be great . Wouldnt it be beautiful . Reporter so why dont you go . I dont know. I sort of love sit right there in the front row and stare at their corrupt faces. Kyra phillips with us live from switzerland tonight. And kyra, the president was asked if abuse of power is an Impeachable Offense. His answer was, it depends. His legal team will argue it is not. And there are headlines that his own troernl in the past has taken a much different view. Reporter thats right, david. Before he was attorney general, barr issued a confidential memo for the Justice Department and trumps legal team while special Counsel Robert Mueller was conducting his probe, saying that president s who abuse their power could be subject to penalties, including impeachment. He said thats up to congress, david. Kyra phillips tonight reporting in. Thank you, kyra. Next, that major storm on the move tonight.
