press conference today. phillip rucker, let me start with you. we just got into the numbers and how dramatically the situation on capitol hill have changed just this week in terms of an outright majority now saying they want some type of impeachment action. you're tracking this inside the white house. i'm curious with the conversations you're having there with folks around the president, and is there a sense on their part that impeachment is now something that is inevitab inevitab inevitable? >> it's increasingly looking inever tai inevitab inevitable, and the comments around the white house is this could play to the president's political advantage, but when you talk in a more private conversation, they're much more candid and reveal there is some concern here, there is anxiety here, there is a feeling that president trump for months has been preparing for impeachment. he's almost in some ways been goading nancy pelosi to take this step.
