welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. it is 2:00 p.m. in washington, it is o2:00 oa.m. in beijing. this is "cnn newsroom." taking aim at democrats. donald trump holds his first rally since the impeachment inkwquiry began and he was on fire. new indictments and a possible new problem for the president. two men with ties to rudy giuliani face federal charges. also balancing act. how the nba is trying to keep fans and the chinese government happy.
11:01 pm
thank you for joining us. donald trump is back on the campaign trail for the first time since house democrats launched their impeachment inquiry. he was in full-on attack mode against democratic presidential candidate joe biden and his family. he went after minnesota congresswoman and called the impeachment inquiry a partisan witchhunt. >> the washington swamp has been trying to nullify the results of a truly great and democratic election. the election of 2016. they want to erase your voice and they want to erace your future. but they will fail because in america the people rule again. >> back in washington two
11:02 pm
associates of mr. trump's personal attorney, rudy giuliani, are now under arrest for campaign finance charges. they're directly connected to rude agiuliani's efforts to uncover dirt on joe biden. it's not clear when or where this was recorded. we get more about the details from cnn's jessica snider. >> two associates of president trump's pursersonal attorney, r giuliani indicted on charges they made political donations to a u.s. congressman on behalf of at least one ukrainian official who wanted her gone. that's the same ambassador trump removed from ukrain this year partially at the behest of rudy giuliani. they're charged with conspiracy and funneling foreign money into
11:03 pm
u.s. elections. >> they were arrested around 6:00 p.m. last night as they were about to board an international flight with one-way tickets. >> the two men, along with two others also indicted allegedly gave hundreds of thousands to a trump-aligned superpack. laying out that contributions were made to advance their personal fine ancial interests d they allegedly made contributions to state candidates in nevada to further a marijuana business venture that never happened. that foreign money coming in part from a unnamed russian citizen whose involvement they hid because of his had russian roots and political paranoia about it. acocording to prosecutors, the men pushed a former u.s. congressman who sources say is pete sessions, to help get former u.s. ambassador deer to
11:04 pm
ukrain fired. the indictment alleges they attempted to gain influence by committing to raise $20,000 eror more for a then sitting u.s. congressman and that he sought that congressman's assistance in causing the u.s. government to remove or recall the then u.s. ambassador to ukrain at the request off one or omore ukrainian government officials. he was recalled in may in part because rudy giuliani accused her of hampering efforts to dig up dirt on joe biden. >> i can heard bad things about her for a long period of time. >> reporter: one key question is how these men fit into the broader scope of the impeachment inquiry. today's indictment adding intrigue to what is known. they work would jude yawny to dig up dirt on joe biden. the same can dirt he dug up with the ukrainian president. the same phone call where he
11:05 pm
mentioned the ousted ambassador where the complaint alleges they were trying to get trump to fire because a ukrainian official ask them to. >> it will be interesting what they have to share and what giuliani's involvement was. >> the president's personal lawerror saying in a statement to cnn neither the candidate nor campaign have anything to do with the scheme these guys were involved in. these two men will ultimately face charges in new york but for now being placed on $1 million bond. investigators want to know more about their role in ukrain and also their relationship with rudy giuliani. jessica schneider. house democrats have now subpoenaed energy secretary rick perry. perry admits he asked donald trump multiple times to call ukrain's president. but he says he wantedthem to
11:06 pm
talk about energy, not joe biden. last week perry pledged to work with law makers looking into it a whistleblower complaint about the now infamous phone call. but it the administration has blocked other officials from cooperating. cnn legal analyst who teaches law joins us. thank you so much for can coming in. i want to begin with your reaction to the arrest othese two men. one from ukrain and other from bell ruse, both naturalized citizens. >> these guys were arrested today on campaign finance-related charges. there are strict lummeimits of donations and in particular you can't have donations can coming from foreign nationals. so these guys were arrested at
11:07 pm
the airport reportedly attempt itting to leave on campaign- finance-related charges. among the it recipients of those funds were republican politicians, their campaign funds and campaign funds related to the president. so that's the fundamental charge. the big issue here is their connection to the president's personal lawyer. the president's personal lawyer said these guys were working with him to help get information from ukrainians related to joe biden who's running for president. and that's a significant connection to the president's lawyer. >> do you think this investigation could reach giuliani? >> you know, rudy giuliani's fingerprints are all over this situation involving these guys. so giuliani himself said he's
11:08 pm
working with these guys. and said these guys were working with rudy giuliani. so giuliani's role and interactions with these guys is definitely under scrutiny. and so one of the questions is how much did rudy giuliani, the president's lawyer, know about what these guys were doing and how much did he tell the president? >> so how does this look for president trump that these arrests touch his personal lawyer? >> it is never a good day when your lawyer is potentially in trouble. so that is not a good sign for the president and comes at a very delicate time. the house of representatives is ramping up its inquiry of the president. with respect to impeachment and they've been very active in the pasts few weeks.
11:09 pm
in addition one of the lawyers the president intended to bring on his team, a former congressman himself was disclosed is actually not going to be able to join at least until january. it's a delicate and difficult time for the president. >> and now we learn the energy secretary, rick perry has been subpoenaed. what is his alleged connection to the ukrain issue? >> so far what the house of representatives has been doing is explaining what kind of information they're looking for and publicizing the letters. in today's letter the house of representatives noted they want to talk to rick perry about his potential involvement in arguinging for a change in organizational structure at a ukrainian energy company. there's still a lot we don't know. but what we do know is the house
11:10 pm
of representatives is interested in his potential role in that. >> we can know friday the former ambassador is expected to testify, whom mr. trump recalled. earlier this week he blocked the ambassador from the eu from testifying. do you expect they'll let this testimony proceed? >> that is a big question. we don't know whether the white house will attempt to block her testimony and if it they attempt to block her testimony she has two choices. maybe three. one is to comply. the second is to say i'm testifying anyway and you can fire me and the third is to resign. at this point we don't know which of those scenarios will play out. right now i think we are expecting her totestify. >> and we have others who have been subpoenaed as well. but from the white house we know they've declared war on this impeachment inquiry. as it grows wideer, do you
11:11 pm
expect the white house will be able to continue to stonewall? >> the white house sent a very, very strong political letter to the house this week saying that this investigation, they say, is completely bogus, unwarrantsed,ing constitutional and esepgsalsentially we're not cooperating. weir not playing the game. that could be negotiating tactics, draw a line in the sand and that has happened inmany administrations. in the obama administration, the attorney was held in criminal contempt for refusing to provide information to congress and there was a lawsuit and they eventually worked most of it out o. that may be what happens here. but in the impeachment context things get heated.
11:12 pm
so it's still early and hard to say. >> we'll see what happens friday. thank you. >> you bet. democrats in the u.s. presidential race took the streets hoping to win the key support of lgbtq voters. this was part of a cnn town hall on equality. how they plan to fight for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, rights. heertz arer some of what they said. >> this is a civil rights issue. it is covered by, in my view, and the court may not agree. this is a civil rights issue. protect itted by civil rights and the civil rights act and we should be focusing on how to enforce that. we talk about being able to get married on sunday and -- or
11:13 pm
saturday and get fired on monday. the vast majority of the american people don't think that's possible. the vast majority of people don't know that is possible. >> we know the case is resting in the supreme court. but we all have to remember about this case. supreme court rules as it should, that lgbtq people are protected under current law, we're done. weevl ar we've got it. if not we need pass the equality act. we need get through collegeress. you ask the right question. we get through the house because we got a majority in the house and all it takes is a simple majority to get done. what it's going to talk in the senate, i'm going to be blunt. we've got to have more can democrats in the senate. >> our country is so torn apart.
11:14 pm
year so fragmented and here we have the lgbtq plus world everywhere. we' we're in every state, every community, every family and that means we can also have the power to build bridges. and when somebody's weighing whether to can come out andoerer or just coming to terms, it'ser important to know they're going to be accepted. there is no right or wrong way to be gay, queer, trans. and i hope that our own community, even as we struggle to define what our identity means, defines it in a way that lets everybody know they belong among us. >> sarah kate ellis is the it president oof glad. first up what's your reaction to an hour's long debate just focusing on issues effecting the lgbtq community? >> i think it's wonderful and about time. we hosted one about
11:15 pm
two weeks ago that lasted about two hours with all of the candidates in iowa and tonight we had four more hours off seeking specifically about lgbtq issues and that's really important right now because we are living under an administration who is rolling back our rights and attacking us through rhetoric. and so right now this week the supreme court heard three arguments about employment discrimination. this election is critical. so having this time hearing from the candidates. i think what was overriding and really wonderful was that most of the candidates, all of the candidates really came out in true support of of the lgbtq
11:16 pm
community. they support nondiscrimination for housing and employment. so i think that was really important. having elizabeth warren talk about trans issues and many of the candidates talk about transgender issues and how it's especially effecting transgender women of can color has been crit canical. >> and they're the recipients of of silence. >> the rise in violence against the community and specifically against transwomen of colorer has been absolutely epidemic at this point in time and needs be addressed and needs to be addressed by the highest office in can which now we have a president who is putting targets on the trans community backs whether it's banningthem thrum military, rescinding rights, especially young kids in school
11:17 pm
who identify as trans, making it hard for them at school in different ways. so i think we are looking at the selection as a moment for the community to once again become a priority or at least be considered by the administration. >> right. so the administration is one thing and the democratic can candidates as well. the question is how they take this from the debate and move across america and keep these issues at the forefront. what will you be looking for? >> a lot of what we're looking for is the media to keep this at the forefront. i think in 2016 election trump got pass and then the first day that he got into office he erace said us from the website and started rolling back our rights. and he said on stage one time that he was for lgbtq people. >> he's spoken that he supports -- >> and none of of his actions back that up and he needs be to
11:18 pm
held accountable and we'll hold the media accountable. when we narrow the field down and we have the final candidates to hold them accountable of how they're going to threat to lgbtq community. it's an important building block that you want when you're winning the race. >> sarah kate ellis with glad. thanks for giving us your insights. we have breaking news to tell you about. an iranian oil tanker erupted in flames after an explosion acan cording to iranian media. they report the tanker was in the red sea about 100 kilometers from the saudi port of of jettau. there are few details right now but reports say the ship has suffered structural damage. as we get more information, we'll bring it to you. a humanitarian crisis in the making.

s welcome back. ashumanitarian crisis is unfolding in northern syria. the international rescue committee says more than 50,000 people have been forced to escape and that number could become hundreds of thousands. turkey said it has killed terrorist but they're mostly syrian kurds who have been the allies in the fight against isis, that long fight. and we're learning the u.s. president wants to broker a ceasefire. the u.s. tried that in what's called the security mechanism. it saw turkey got access to intelligence but that was likely used by turkey to draw up its target list.
11:24 pm
for more on all of this, chief international correspondent is in northern syria. >> reporter: we spent the day right on the bord boarder with turkey. there had been shelling earlier that day. the it town was more or oless dedeserted. the streets were emptied. as we got closer to the boarder, we came across small protest its, less than a hundred people insisting they were going to walk right up to the boarder to show they would not be cowed by the turkish military operation. however, kurdish fighting forces on the ground telling them to dissipate, that it was not safe. there was a steady stream of artillery coming into various targets around the town and we heard out going rounds with kurdish fighters firing back at the turkish military.
11:25 pm
they were also setting fire to big piles of tires to create a coordinated smoke screen across the town. the people we saw fleeing much like people we saw yesterday fleeing saying essentially they don't can know where they are going. they don't know where is safe anymore in northern syria. they don't know how big this operation is going to get. who will do anything to stop turkey from furtherer expanding, further pushing in? and the real fear is if this does turn into a ground incursion, things will only get bloodier, raising the risk of of civilian casualties and that number could easily climb to hundreds of thousands in the coming days. clarissa ward, cnn, northern syria. >> let's talk more about it now. michael muran, the cee .
11:26 pm
was there any surprise that as soon as president trump announced a pullback of u.s. troops that turk itey would mak move against the kurds? michael, can you hear me? >> i do not. >> cannot hear me. so i guess we're going to work on that. michael, we will get back to you in just a moment. we'll move on o. next here the nba is doing everything it can to keep from alienating china and losing what could be as much as 10% of the entire revenue. we'll tell you why this relationship is on the rocks ahead here. and bernie sanders telling

effort to uncover dirt on joe biden, funneled money into u.s. politics. house democrats have subpoena under aerj secretary rick perry for documents related to the trump administration's contacts with ukrain. he admits he asked donald trump multiple times to contact you chron's president but wanted them to talk about inarj, not joe biden. mixed signals on the latest round of trade talks between u.s. and china. u.s. officials began the day with low expectations but came away with hopes for a faith saving mini deal and president trump sounded optimistic ahead of of a meeting in the day ahead. he may hold off on new tariffs if china agreed to buy more u.s. foreign products. elsewhere the nba is trying to save its relationship with china

and keep access to billions of dollars in potential revenue. it's been a day since nba's general manager tweeted a support for protests in hong kong. a league commissioner says he respects the manager's freedom of expression. watch what happens when we asked two hooutsen rockets stars about the controversy in a news conference. >> the it nba has always been a league that prides itself on its players and coaches being able to speak out openly about political and societal affairs. i wonder after the events this week the fallout whether you would feel differently about speaking out in that way in the future? it's a legitimate question. this is an event that's happened this week during the nba.
11:33 pm
this particular question has not been answered. >> any other questions? >> well, latter the nba issued an apology about that right there saying a team representative inappropriately interjected to prevent christina macfarlane from receiving an answer to her question. this was inconsistent with how the nba conducts media events. let's go to david colver in shanghai. our reporter caught up in the delicate balance perhaps that the nba is playing in china. >> reporter: this is not about sensationalizingi sensationalizing a moment. it's a very telling moment she was not able to go forward with getting answerers for that, as she put it very legitimate questions. er add to that what we
11:34 pm
experienced here in shanghai where the game was supposed to have a pregame press conference with adam silver and a post game press conference where we were suppose o supposed to be able to ask the players questions. so it shows you in that moment and where we are right now how sensitive this still is. how concerned the nba is that either their commissioner or somebody representing them in some fashion will say something that in china will be taken furtherer out of contectst and further deteriorate what is already a strained relationship. while they're not being broadcasted in china, the folks who can actually see those games have tickets to the games themselves. the big broadcaster not showing them, severing their ties after that houston rockets general manager tweet went out nearly a week ago and since then we've
11:35 pm
seen the relationship take a dive. er for it's almost at a point where adam silver may not be able to salvage the relationship and at the same time keep that strength orf support towards freedom of expression and speech. that's the del cicate balance hs in the midst of right now. it's south of here where the lakers and nets are headed to as we speak right now. >> david colver on the latest from shanghai. an aid group, the international rescue committee says morthan 60,000 civilians in northern syria have fled their homes as turkey continues the military offensive against can kurdish-led forces. the aim to end the presence of terrorists and 277 have been killed. syrian kurds were a major american cin the fight against isis.
11:36 pm
we have the ceo of transformative risk. well, lltszet's get back to the question. was there any surprise that turk itty would make a move against our allies? >> not at all. i mean the quid pro quo is pretty obvious. the analogy you could draw is what's referred to as a trip wire force in south korea which somewhat dangerously the president has suggested withdrawing at some point. you take him away and there's nothing stopping the people across the boarder with much greater power and all the motives in the world from rolling unand getting what they want. there must have bun a clear understanding. the president has received bipartisan condemnation for the move.
11:37 pm
was this a miscalculation from president? because now he's talking about trying to stop the fighting which he green lighted and trying to work on a truce. >> that would assume there was a calculation. i don't think there was. i think this is tip itical of the way he does things. he has deep disdain from everyone thrum intelligence to the military command structure to his own national security advisors. and he gets on the phone with an authoritarian leader. they cut a deal. that's the art of his deal and this is the result of the deal. >> so let's talk about the eresults and putenotential resu. there's the risk of a humanitarian catastrophe that seems to be happening. isis is still there and the kurds are trying to protect the
11:38 pm
isis prisoners and keep them in prison. they've been guarding them but now the kurds are distracted with having to defend themselves. >> obviously the isis threat had been largely contained by the kurds with the enormous logistical and advising from u.s. special forces on the ground. but the turks were all the time very unhappy with the relationship the united states had developed with the can kurds. the kurds uneiraq and syria are viewed as a threat to their territory. they've historically not wanted them to gain legit maesz and they were seen as close to the united states but having performed an enormously important service to the united states by being the one whose really shed their blood to defeat isis.
11:39 pm
now we see a situation where we've essentially, in the words of of one kurdish leader, we stabbed them in the back. what does this do internationally to the reputation of the united states? which for better or worse upholds statuses quos all over the planet with its guarantees to the baltic states, to taiwan, south korea, to can countries all over the world who have been told by generation after generation of american presidents that we've got your back. and here we are gettingthem in the back. >> right. if turkey succeeds in creating this new zone, how might that complicate an already dangerous region in the world? >> it will be a huge headache for the turk its. after the first bell flr was a disaster. they held the number of miles into the rock where the can
11:40 pm
kurds had fled sudom, in part because we stopped essentially -- stopped keeping him at bay and he went after the shiite and the kurds in the country. they really had trouble there and pulled out without accomplishing a good deal. and had a very significant independence referendum two years ago can which overwhelmingly voted for independence. but they've shown great restraint and once again these are not the syrian kurds but another group who the united states has promised be patient. we've got your back. the other part is if you lack at what israelis did in the 80s rr, they set up a security zoin in the northern part of lebanon and that became a bleeding wound for them.
11:41 pm
aerialtia roan who decided to leave of all people. they decided at the end of the day it was more trouble than it was worth and they pulled back behind their boarder. so it's no easy thing the turks are attempting to do here. >> we appreciate your expertise on this. it has been one week since bernie sanders learned he had a heart attack. >> the god's truth is you're sitting there and said bernie, did you have a heart attack last week and i said what are you talking about? i feel great. >> dr. sanjay gupta talked about what happened and what it means for his campaign when we can come back. on those travel sites but there was always a catch. like somehow you wind up getting less. but now that i book at hilton.com, and i get all these great perks. i got to select my room from the floor plan... very nice... i know, i'm good at picking stuff. free wi-fi... laptop by the pool is a bold choice... and the price match guarantee.

11:45 pm
raging. riverside county is east of of los angeles and scorched more than 700 acres. that's 300 hectors and a fire north of los angeles right here is lighting up the night sky. it ignited near a residential neighborhood. residents are being urged to grab belongings and get out. strong winds push the flames uphill and force the shutdown of a nearby freeway. our meteorologist is here with more about it and it's like here we go again with california. >> and they're turn ittiing off power pre-emptively. this is in order to prevent fire risk in these high-prone areas in potentially dangerous weather can conditions which we're clearly seeing as we speak. it has been an unrelenting day of brush fires across northern this is fresh to cnn, some
11:46 pm
visuals from some of our affiliates there. look at how some of the smoke is racing and the trees swaying in the distance. this is an area north of los angeles that is threatened constantly by fire just within the past hour. it was called into the fire department and the fire spread so quickly because we have an influx of what is santa ana winds. that's there local name for the strong winds that push through the mountain side and funnel into region. get to the graphics. you can see we have over 19 million americans under a red flag warning. that's the weather service issuing that. and it jumped the highway, interstate 210 going eastbound.
11:47 pm
we saw the flames literally jump from the west to the east side. going to the day today we have an extreme fire danger thanks to the triple threat, dry fuels and remember earlier in the year we had a copious amount of rain that built up the vegetation and we turned the taps off. no more rain in the summer months and all that extra vegetation is fuel for the flames. that pushes in the winds across the mountains over southern california through the canyons and that is what woo call santa ana winds and some of of the gusts have been incredible. we've been clocking 72 mile-per-hour winds at san bernardino that california state university. that's two mile-per-hour shy of hurricane-forced winds. incredible. we have another 12 hours off strong winds if into saturday morning. so another difficult 12- hour
11:48 pm
period for california as multiple brush fire continue to spread. and this region where you saw some of the fire video a moment ago. only a 7% chance of relative humidity. that's a recipe for disaster. next here bernie sanders says he can't wait to get back on the campaign trail. next he tells dr. sanjay gupta what was happening the very moment he had a heart attack days ago. er ♪ we would walk on the sidewalk ♪ ♪ all around the wind blows ♪ we would only hold on to let go ♪ ♪ blow a kiss into the sun ♪ we need someone to lean on ♪ blow a kiss into the sun ♪ we needed somebody to lean on ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ all we need is someone to lean on ♪

chief raoni who led a campaign to protect the amazon from deforestation and new zealand's prime minister. the u.s. presidentsial candidate, bernie sanders is recover canning from a heart attack just days ago. we sat down to discuss his health and campaign. >> it's almost a silly question to ask how you're feeling. >> the god's truth is if you're sitting there and say bernie, tid you have a heart attack last week? what are you talking about? i feel great. not an ounce of of pain. i've been walking around playing ball with the kids. so i feel really good and i'm confident we're go to run a vigorous campaign. what i would say, what i kick myself a little bit about and i hope people understand and hear
11:54 pm
this is i should have paid more attention to some of of the symptoms that were occurring. when you do four rallies a day and you run all over the country, you get tired. but i was more tired than i usually have been. had more trouble sleeping than ordinarily. occasionally i'd be up there at the podium and feel unsteady. and one time i was just lifting literally holding the mic up to my arm and my arm hurt. and i should have paid more attention to the symptoms. so i hope people learn from my mistake. >> they tell you you're having a heart attack. this is tuesday night. obviously that's frightening. the worst kind of news. did you think this could be fatal? >> first of all we were
11:55 pm
driving -- i was at an eevent and because i was speaking and for the first time in my life i said get me a chair. i have to sit down and i was sweating profusely and normally we do selfies and have discussions. i was in no state to do that and i felt badly for the people in the audience but essentially i took a few questions. is said to my staff we got to get out of here. my first thought was let's get back to the hotel and i started feeling a pain in my arm. we went to the urgent care place near hootell and the doctor made a diagnoses in about three seconds and i went by ambulance to bethesda springs hospital and they had been told i was coming and the procedure was done in i think 45 minutes. >> so very quick.
