a major drawdown. thousands of u.s. troops could soon be pulled from afghanistan. u.s. senator lindsey graham makes it clear he's not trying to be fair about donald trump's expected impeachment. and trial. also ahead this hour, snow, ice, and rain spreading coast to coast in the u.s. derek will have the forecast about that. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. coming to you live from atlanta, g.a., where it is 5:00 in the morning. i'm natalie allen. "newsroom" starts right now.
2:02 am
thank you again for joining us. our top story, new developments in america's longest war. thousands of u.s. troops are expected to be withdrawn from afghanistan. that's coming to us from a senior trump administration official. the move has been in the works for quite some time and is being welcomed by the taliban as a good step. for more on it, here's white house correspondent jeremy diamond with more about it. >> reporter: well, the trump administration is preparing to announce the withdrawal of about 4,000 troops from afghanistan. that would take the total number of u.s. troops, which is currently estimated to be between 12,000 and 13,000, to the range of 8,600. that is the number that the president himself floated back in august when he said that the u.s. was likely going to be drawing down the number of u.s. troops in afghanistan. so this is something that has been in the works for quite some time. now a senior administration
2:03 am
official is indeed telling me that is a plan to move forward with this troop withdrawal and that it could happen as early as next week. of course the timing is very much in flux. that was the note of caution i got from this senior administration official. all of this of course coming as the u.s. has resorted peace talks with the taliban following president trump's visit to afghanistan over the thanksgiving holiday. that was the president's first visit to afghanistan during his presidency. and while he was there, he suggested that the taliban were now open to a cease-fire. that is not something that the taliban leaders have so far admitted to. and, in fact, they were quite caught off guard by the president trump's comments. the question of course is how this will all play in the negotiations. the withdrawal of 4,000 troops could be viewed as a unilateral concession by the united states.
2:04 am
certainly it will have an affect with the peace talks. sam kiley following developments from abu dhabi. sam, hello to you. first of all, can you elaborate how the withdrawal may affect the peace talks? >> reporter: well, there are two different alternatives there, natalie. the first is they clearly could affect peace talks in a positive way. the other side of the argument it could be seen as a sign of good faith. we simply don't know how the taliban will react. we do know during the last set of negotiations that went well as far as both sides were concerned, the taliban insisted on continuing to prosecute their violent campaign, particularly in the capital city kabul, which in the end drove the u.s. president to suspend or abandon those talks. but on friday, the leading u.s.
2:05 am
diplomat involved in the talks with the taliban, was in pakistan talking to authorities there, a sign that they are definitely trying to move this forward. of course the pakistanis are absolutely key. they have a very high level of influence over the taliban and very, very key players to get buy-in for any future dispensation in afghanistan, natalie. >> right and then once this drawdown occurs, what might the taliban do? how may they push into the country more? >> reporter: well, they will be faced with a choice. do they use this drawdown of u.s. troops as an opportunity to try to expand their operations, or entrench themselves more as a political moveme and less as a military movement. that will depend on whether they think they will be able to be a partner, probably a dominant
2:06 am
partner in any dispensation that comes out of talks. afghan government is not yet involved in this process. and the assumption is, certainly on the afghan government's side, the reduction in u.s. troops could make them vulnerable. that would only be in the center east, parts of the southwest -- south of the country. of course in the north of the country, the taliban are extremely unpopular because of their ideology and ethnic frictions between the north and the south. it's not a foregone conclusion that the taliban could overtake the whole country. the issue is would they create more ungoverned space and then become a rolling environment for other proxies, particularly, as far as the pakistanis are concerned, they are very worried by indian influence coming through the back door, if you like, through kabul.
2:07 am
the first stage certainly as far as the americans are concerned, is trying to keep the taliban talking. natalie? . >> right. you have to think of the people citizens caught up in the middle of this. sam kiley for us. ahead of a historic vote in washington this week, one of president donald trump's biggest supporters is pushing for a quick impeachment trial in the senate. republican lindsey graham said he will do everything in his power to ensure it dies quickly. that's a quote. this is what he told our becky anderson at a conference in qatar. >> i want this to end as quick as possible for the good of the senate, for the good of the country, and i think the best thing for america to do is get this behind us. we know how it's going to end. i have tried to give a pretty clear signal that i have made up my mind. >> i wasn't in any doubt at this point.
2:08 am
>> we will have more of becky anderson's interview with senator graham later this hour. before we get to a senate trial, of course, the u.s. house of representatives still has to vote on two articles of impeachment. obstruction of congress and abuse of power. that vote likely to happen in the coming days. cnn's lauren fox reports from washington. >> reporter: another big week in washington as the house of representatives is poised to vote to impeach president donald trump as soon as wednesday. that's putting pressure on moderate democrats, some of them who won in districts president donald trump won in in 2016. representative van drew is expected to switch parties soon. that's according to one senior democratic source who said van drew has told fellow members that that is his plan moving forward. van drew said he was not going to be supporting the articles of impeachment, but it just shows the pressure that the democrats are under. another democrat in a swing
2:09 am
district, malinowski, held a townhall where he heard from supporters and opponents of president trump. here's what happened when he said he would support the two articles of impeachment. >> based on the evidence i have seen in the depositions, in the hearings, in the documents i have seen, i believe that on the two counts of impeachment that have been put before us, the vote should be yes. and i will be voting yes. >> reporter: plans are still developing in the senate where majority leader mitch mcconnell made no secret of the fact that he would prefer a shorter trial with no witnesses. meanwhile, president trump has been telling his allies privately that he would prefer a longer trial, more of a show to defend himself. where that goes will be uncertain until democrats and republicans in the senate return from their holiday break in january. for cnn, lauren fox, washington. all right.
2:10 am
let's talk more about all of the goings on with scott lucas, professor of international politics at the university of birmingham. he's joining me now. good morning, scott. >> reporter: good morning, natalie. >> well, where do you begin with this saga? why don't we begin with lindsey graham and mitch mcconnell stating they will not be impartial jurors in the trial of president trump, which when they took the oath they declared they would be impartial. >> reporter: yeah. let me begin with what mitch mcconnell signaled, they are all in with the white house. mitch mcconnell's statement said he saw no chance of conviction came after he met with white house counsel pat cipollone for several hours. they are not serving as jurors. they are serving as part of the defense team. we have two narratives here. one is the narrative that is the evidence, the legal process, the
2:11 am
u.s. constitution, all of which we are supposed to adhere to. and the other is the political process. unless 20 of 53 republicans politically detach themselves from president trump he will not be convicted and he will fight the 2020 election, along with senators who will vote to keep him in office. >> right. we just saw in that previous report a house member stating he would impeach. and there were cheers and jeers from his constituents. do you think there will be a public paradigm shift? next week will be in bold and i italics that the president will be impeached? >> reporter: i think americans may not as much be tuned out as much as in. there are two narratives here. if you go with the narrative that is 17 current and former officials in months of hearing
2:12 am
that documents alongside those witnesses established that donald trump put pressure on a foreign government, ukraine, to investigate one of his political rivals for his personal gain. if you're on that narrative, you think impeach and convict. but if you're on the narrative, which has been the republican tactics all along, not to deal with the evidence, not to deal with the legal issues but to say it's a hoax, it's a witch-hunt, it's all an attempt to get a cou to overthrow donald trump, if you are imbedded with that, you have already acquitted him. natalie, i return to this. the more we talked about public opinion as being the barometer of this, the more we miss the central point. that there is a u.s. constitution, there is a u.s. system. there is american foreign policy, according to those witnesses, has been compromised by the men in the white house. and if you simply gauge this by public opinion, you let all of those issues slide.
2:13 am
and anyone in the white house, not just donald trump, at the end of the day can say, let's not pay attention to the constitution. let's not pay attention to our own security. let's see what the opinion polls are saying today >> that's a good point. and i was going to ask you what about democrat backlash? ivanka trump said democrats have been out to get her father since day one, and this is just part of that. >> reporter: ivanka trump would say that. . >> i know. >> reporter: what got donald trump in trouble? let's be honest with it. claims, which have largely been substantiated that he and his staff cooperated with russian officials either directly or cutouts in the 2016 election. what got donald trump in trouble was far from getting rid of conflicts of interest, including those involving his family such as his daughter ivanka, he maintained the conflicts of interest and allegedly profited by the tunes of millions from his office. what got donald trump in trouble is that his business and tax
2:14 am
dealings continue to be under scrutiny to where he paid a $2 million fine this week from paying from his. you try to put smoke in everyone's eyes to keep daddy in the white house. . >> we have heard witch-hunt, witch-hunt. and we heard that again from richard nixon. so that's not something new when faced with impeachment. scott lucas, we appreciate your insights. thanks for being with us. >> reporter: thank you, natalie. next here, new details of the deadly stabbing of a beloved new york college student. a 13-year-old suspect is talking to police about the killing. plus, from coast to coast, we are tracking winter storms across the u.s. a look at the expected snowfall coming up. and you'll be surprised at how easily starting small... ...can lead to something big.

when a nasty cold won't let you sleep, try nyquil severe with vicks vapocool whoa! and vaporize it. ahhhhh! shhhhh! nyquil severe with vicks vapocool. the vaporizing nighttime, coughing, aching, stuffy head, best sleep with a cold, medicine. new york prosecutors are deciding if a 13-year-old boy should be charged as an adult in the stabbing death of a college student. 18-year-old tessa majors was killed just blocks away from her campus. the suspect, again, just 13, reported told police he watched as his two friends grabbed her. and then one of them stabbed her. polo sandoval is following this for us.
2:18 am
>> reporter: student enrollment includes students from 57 different countries. as you can imagine, the cold-blooded murder of one of their own is sending shock waves here in new york. but also throughout the international community. police do say that the teen they have in custody was found with a knife and admitted to being involved in wednesday's attempted robbery and deadly stabbing. but the question prosecutors are asking, to what extent? see, according to the "new york times", the 13-year-old faces felony murder charge, meaning he is not accused of stabbing tessa majors but of taking part in the robbery. the "times" also reporting that a detective testified during the 13-year-old's hearing yesterday. he reportedly told the court that the teen and two other teenage accomplices walked into that manhattan park on wednesday specifically to rob people. the boy told detectives he watched his two friends grab the 18-year-old college freshman and put her in a choke hold. he claims they removed items from her pockets and eventually slashed her repeatedly with a knife.
2:19 am
a source telling cnn, a second person, also a young individual, is in custody but has not been charged. the attorney says there is no allegation against her client claiming that he touched the victim, rather he was merely present when this took place. we have reached out to prosecutors who ultimately decide if this teenager will be charged as an adult. in a statement yesterday her family wrote, we lost a very special, very talented and well-loved young woman. tess shone brightly in this world and our hearts will never be the same. new york authorities are trying to get to the bottom of this, trying to find out if they can prevent something like this from happening again. they are considering increasing patrols in this park. the mayor called this an unacceptable reality. polo sandoval, cnn, new york. just absolutely terrible. >> authorities in new zealand are starting to release the names of some of those killed in last week's volcanic eruption.
2:20 am
police named five victims. one of them is 21-year-old crystal browitt from australia. family and friends are leaving flowers, balloons and messages at a dock near white island. the eruption killed at least 16 people. police are continuing their search for victims. contaminated waters, low visibility, and the threat of another eruption are slowing down recovery efforts. all right. let's turn to the u.s. now. parts getting slammed with wicked winter weather. derri derek is here to tell us more about it. >> reporter: you have 24 hours before a major snowstorm and ice storm potential knocks on your doorstep. i'm giving you a heads-up in d.c. that is where we expect it to impact your monday morning commute. first, let me take you to the west coast. it is impacting many parts of the u.s. at the moment.
2:21 am
you can see individuals skidding out on the roadways, putting chains on their tires. let's get to the lighter side and bring you to lambeau field in green bay. just so the packers can play their football game outdoors today. so let's talk about what's in store for the u.s. this is the weather maker that is clearing out from western u.s. that brought the snowfall and slick roads in the mountainous areas of california. here it is in terms of winter weather advisories and alerts from the national weather service from the plains through the ohio river valley. and i wouldn't be surprised within the next 12 to 24 hours we start to see some of the watches and warnings hoisted for the mid atlantic and parts of new england as well. this is the precipitation type over the next 48 hours. you can see rain in the green. shading of purple -- excuse me, pink is ice. blue the snowfall.
2:22 am
the plains through indiana, ohio, into west virginia, as well as pennsylvania. and monday morning's commute in the nation's capital will be a tricky one. we do expect a rain/snow mix, maybe ice. as we head into new york city late monday evening, tuesday morning, you'll have troubles on the roadways pause of the storm system sliding along the east coast. this is one computer model's depiction and how much potential ice we could see by tuesday morning. this is incredible. we have the potential to see upwards of one half to three-quarters ice across south central pennsylvania and mountainous regions of west virginia. be prepared for that. that will stick to the ground. on top of that, frozen snowfall, that can create all kinds of problems on the roadways. you can see the expected snowfall from st. louis, cincinnati, pittsburgh, philadelphia. definitely travel headaches not only on the ground but in the air as well. the evolution of the storm system, lots to decode here. but the bottom line is you need
2:23 am
to be prepared for winter weather and get out the winter driving skills because you'll need them heading into the early parts of the workweek. and of course we're ramping up for the holiday week, the next two weeks, we should say, the wild weather will continue that's for sure. >> hazardous holiday shopping. . >> to say the least. shopping, right. i'm on my way home today and it could be tricky for me. >> in michigan. that's right. thanks, derek. as the u.s. house sets for an historic vote on impeachment, it will be a snowy washington, d.c. it appears he and his attorney are still digging for dirt on the bidens. giuliani was in ukraine last week. before his plane landed back in new york, the president was reportedly calling him for the lowdown. here's cnn's jason carroll.
2:24 am
>> reporter: rudy giuliani, the president's personal attorney, showed up at the white house early friday with notebooks in hand. the timing of his arrival, the same morning the house judiciary committee voted to impeach president trump on two articles of impeachment, abuse of power and obstructing congress. and while critics say giuliani is partly to blame for what happened to trump, giuliani and his client, president trump, remain intent on his quest to dig up dirt on trump's political rival, joe biden and his son hunter. last week, giuliani traveled to ukraine to meet with officials. back at home, constitutional experts were testifying on capitol hill about the parameters for different articles of impeachment. on monday, giuliani appeared on a podcast and promised to reveal what he says he has found in ukraine. >> i was going to do an outline of it and try to present it at
2:25 am
the convenience of the republicans in the congress and the attorney general at the end of this week. i should probably have it ready on wednesday or thursday. i don't know exactly when it will be made public. but it should be ready by then. i worked on it all weekend. >> reporter: trump called giuliani sunday as soon as his plane landed in new york and asked, what did you get? he replied, more than you can imagine. . >> he will make a report to the attorney general and to congress. he says he has a lot of good information >> reporter: giuliani is a central character in the house impeachment inquiry into trump. he has made a number of unsupported allegations asserting corruption by former vice president joe biden and his son hunter. though there is no evidence of wrongdoing by either of them. and he continues to push unsubstantiated claims ukraine meddled in the 2016 election
2:26 am
when the entire intelligence community concurs it was russia. christopher wray cautioning americans to be careful about where they get their information. >> there's all kinds of people saying all kinds of things out there. i think it's important for the american people to be thoughtful consumers of information and to think about the sources of it and to think about the support and bred indication for what they hear. >> reporter: giuliani was a loyal lieutenant to the president even before he was hired as an unpaid personal attorney in april 2018. but lately there are debates in political circles as to whether giuliani should be sidelined. two giuliani associates linked to his efforts in ukraine plead not guilty for funneling money into u.s. elections. prosecutors accused one of them, lev parnas, failing to disclose that he received 1 million dollars from a russian a bank
2:27 am
account a month before he was charged. according to the "washington post", attorney general william barr counseled trump that giuliani has become a liability and a problem for the administration. cnn has previously reported investigators have been looking into giuliani's business dealings in ukraine and dug i o intoen tanningments with corrupt figures to counterintelligence concerns raised by some of the business ties according to people briefed. he has denied any wrongdoing and trump has his back. >> rudy giuliani was one of the great crime fighters of all time. he's also a friend of mine. he's a great person, an iconic figure in this country. >> reporter: some have been written off by the president. just ask former attorney michael cohen. for now the jewgiuliani-trump b

2:32 am
you're watching cnn "newsroom" live from atlanta. a taliban spokesman said an expected u.s. troop drawdown is a good step but all u.s. forces must ultimately leave to resolve the conflict. a trump administration official tells cnn the departure of some 4,000 troops will be announced in the coming days. while the u.s. house of representatives is set to vote on articles of impeachment in the coming days, one of mr. trump's closest allies is already pushing for a quick senate trial. lindsey graham says he will do everything in his power to make it, quote, die quickly. democrats on capitol hill are fighting to keep a colleague from crossing party lines. a senior public official said democratic congressman jeff van drew is expected to become a republican. he previously said he would vote against all articles of impeachment. okay. more now on the rather frank
2:33 am
comments from republican senator graham. he's making it clear under no circumstances would he vote to remove president trump from office. here's how he put it to our becky anderson. >> i want this to end as quick as possible for the good of the senate, for the good of the country, and i think the best thing for america to do is get this behind us. we know how it's going to end, so we can focus on the problems we talked about today. if you don't like president trump, you can vote against him in less than a year. it's not like a politician is unaccountable if you don't impeach him. so i think impeachment is going to end quickly in the senate. i would prefer it to end as quickly as possible. use the record that was assembled in the house to pass impeachment articles as your trial record. i don't want to call anybody. i don't need to hear from hunter biden. i don't need to hear from joe biden. we can deal with that outside of impeachment.
2:34 am
i don't want to talk to pompeo. i don't want to talk to pence. i want to hear the house make their case based on the record they established in the house, and i want to vote. >> the senate has a constitutional duty in holding this trial and comprehensively evaluating the case. agreed? >> no, it doesn't say that in the constitution. it says that the senate will -- i am trying to give a pretty clear signal i have made up my mind. >> i wasn't in any doubt at this point. >> i'm telling you right now if mueller had found something against trump, i would have been his loudest critic and would have told the president to his face. what i see happening today is just a partisan nonsense. >> you have voiced strong opinions about this impeachment piece. but you are, along with the rest of your senate fellows, jurors. is it appropriate to be voicing
2:35 am
your opinion even before this gets to the senate as a trial? >> well, i must think so because i'm doing it. so this is a political exercise by politicians. when you look at the history of why you have impeachment in the constitution, what i am saying is that i view this as a political exercise. i view this to be more about nancy pelosi's speakership than wrongdoing by president trump. and i like speaker pelosi. i want to congratulate her on negotiating the usmca trade deal as they impeach the president. that is a feat for her and president trump. so i see the whole process and how it's dangerous to the presidency. every other impeachment by this one was generated by outside counsel, people who were nonpartisan. this is being driven by people who are partisan politicians. no real ability to defend
2:36 am
yourself. most of it is hearsay. closed-door hearings. no right to confront the witnesses against you. i want to make sure that this process is soundly rejected in the senate because i think it's a danger to the presidency himself. >> can i just underline what we have been talking about here. whether or not the president is impeached and removed, you clearly tonight think that's going to happen. is it ever appropriate for a president to ask a foreign leader to get involved in a domestic --. >> if you read the phone call, i'm okay with it. you ran against corruption. some people believe, and cnn and other groups have not lifted a finger to look -- if mike pence's son had done this, i think you may have a little more looking by the media. can you imagine if mike pence's son was on a board in the ukraine making $50,000 a month not knowing anything about gas
2:37 am
and the prosecutors fired of mike pence's state government, you might want to know more about that. i love joe biden, but nobody is above scrutiny. we're not going to have a country where only republicans are looked at. i would suggest that donald trump and his family have been scrutinized. so to my democratic friends, it's okay i guess to look at everything trump all the time. it never ends. don't complain when it comes your way. well, now the u.s. president is taking a long, hard look at the director of the fbi. and he apparently doesn't like what he sees. you'll notice that doing battle with the bureau has become a common theme with his administration. we watched it play out again this past week as mr. trump took direct aim at fbi chief
2:38 am
christopher wray. brian todd has the story. >> reporter: president trump vents his anger at another fbi director. in a twitter broadside, the president saying, i don't know what report current director of the fbi christopher wray was reading, but it sure wasn't the one given to me. with that kind of attitude, we will never be able to fix the fbi, which is badly broken. he said he was pleased that they found the russian interference investigation was properly launched and no political bias influencing decisions in the probe. wray brushed back that some in the fbi were in a deep state conspiracy against him. >> that is the kind of label that is a disservice to the 37,000 men and women who work at the fbi who i think tackle their jobs with professionalism, with rigor, with objectivity and courage. it is an affront to them. >> reporter: but william barr
2:39 am
doubled down on president trump's criticisms of the russian investigation. >> they kept investigating the president well into his administration. after the case collapsed. >> reporter: trump has had notorious public battles with fbi directors and other bureau officials. he fired his first fbi director james comey after clashing with him over the russia investigation. . >> comey lies and leaks. he's a liar and he's a leaker much >> reporter: trump accused his immediate replacement, andrew mccabe and james baker of being out to get him and eviscerated peter strzok and lisa page, who had a relationship with each other, accusing them of being part of a cabal of haters. >> lisa page, who was forced to leave the fbi, and her lover peter strzok, who we got their
2:40 am
text messages and that they said in those text messages was shocking when you talk about bias. >> reporter: in one tweet, trump called comey, mccabe, strzok and page clowns and losers. a trump biographer isn't challenged by those around him. >> it doesn't matter if it's a spouse who is telling the truth about his infidelities or a law enforcement officer trying to do his duty. the right thing to do where donald trump is concerned is to serve him. any other duty is superfluous. and he will be angry at you and really try to destroy you if you cross him. >> reporter: analysts are concerned that repeated attacks on fbi directors and their aides have serious security consequences. >> the president's statements are harmful because what he is doing is he is undermining the credibility of the fbi with the
2:41 am
public. and the fbi needs the public in order to satisfy its law enforcement and national security mission. >> reporter: cnn has reached out to the white house to ask if president trump has or will ask for christopher wray to resign as fbi director. white house officials told us that's unlikely. but they acknowledged trump could act without warning. brian todd, cnn, washington. next here, the u.s. lost about 3,000 dairy farms last year. now farmers in michigan are hopeful a new trade deal will help reverse that trend. that's next. so we're making it easier than ever to become part of our family. that's why our chevy employee discount is now available to everyone. the chevy price you pay is what we pay. not a cent more. family is important to us. and we want you to be part of ours. so happy holidays. and welcome to the family. all: the chevy family! get the chevy employee discount for everyone today.
