what he would hope for. may god bless the very honorable elijah cummings and may god bless the city in the state in this nation that he loved. god blessed you. [applause] >> with me is susan ferrechio chief congressional correspondent of the washington examiner. looking at the week ahead we have the house considering the partisan legislation with sanctions on turkey while the sun is blocking, can you tell us more about the congressional response of turkeys recent military action after the president withdrew your troops from syria. >> with sanctions turkey in they

would also pick it up it is possible they will. it is being sold on in the senate because the republicans in the chamber want to give the cease-fire a chance and they want to give the president a chance to see if the deal that he has worked out is going to be successful. but the kind of having sanctions as plan b. so the house will pass in the currently working into junction worse than republicans who are not opposed to what the houses drink they just want to give the president a chance and i think i recall the president saying cease-fire is not successful he could reimpose the sanctions that he had placed from executive branch. so congress is taking it up in the house and the senate is in a

wait-and-see mode. to see what happens if things stabilize in the region and the kurds are protected in the isis terrorist who are in prison stay that way. and if things fall apart then you might see the senate press or to act and were willing to act on the hospital that is more likely to see move next week. >> also in the senate we see lawmakers to planning working on 2020 federal spending closing in on the november 21 go november e point we heard from the procreation committee richard shelby this past week that another bill to keep the government running will likely be needed. what what are the key hurdles the house of senate members have to clear to settle on the spending level for the upcoming year? >> at this point the congress has agreed republicans and democrats on a topline spending

figure that would lift federal spending caps for the next two years. they settled on that, that deal is several weeks old, they have an agreement. how do you divide the money, there are 12 federal spending bills that make up all government spending. democrats and republicans at this point cannot agree on how that is divided up. at this point republicans, according to democrats have allocated too much money toward areas of the government they don't support including money that would be used on the southern border for a structure or a border wall. they want that money changed in a way that is provided for other government services and not for a wall. that is one of the problems. there is also disagreement over language that is not about money but more about how the government addresses abortion

funding and taxpayer funding of abortion. so there is disagreement but the main problem is how the money is divided amongst the 12. they want the deal on that before they move forward in the house. so at this point things are pretty much told and i think were getting the picture now that the house democrats are not fully willing to work with republicans and those are both the majority until they get the deal. and they're closing in on the november 21 deadline so it's looking more like they will do a stop capital which funds the government at current levels. the question is how long will that last, summer months, several weeks, i'm hearing different proposals some say till the spring and others are talking a few weeks. we'll be hearing or about that releasing them because we are getting into november and the

really running out of time because thanksgiving will come and logo for another break in the want to have something settled by then. it does look like they will not finish the 2020 spending bill but instead do a temporary funding at 2019 level sprayed the question is for how long. >> of course we still have the house impeachment inquiry, you're right, congress is bracing for a protracted impeachment fight with more depositions expectable for house committees and congressional republicans continuing to impose the inquiry process through legislation. and then interrupting the closed-door interviews as we have seen, briefly what are the next steps that we can accept in the impeachment inquiry into president trump? >> i expect the positions in fighting with a ministration because impeachment process by democrats, the ministration is run by republicans so

republicans with the effect that fully willing to cooperate with impeachment inquiry and not allowing -- to try to block people from testifying and also played the documents the democrats are asking for. today they subpoenaed three more trump administration officials in two of them from the management including the acting director. i do not expect that to show up and go under subpoena. they will decide the subpoena to not show up and testify in november when they been called to do so and you'll see more of back-and-forth fights over witnesses and documents and then you will also see more people coming in and testifying who are willing to participate and eventually i believe the house democrats schedule a public hearing that have not been scheduled yet or even discussed but there are expected and i expect to see some of the

transcript from the closed-door depositions released and finally i anticipate at some point this year that the house democrats will raise articles of impeachment on the house for and call for a vote on the and if that does pass the house you would see a senate trial happened pretty soon after the duration is hard to define depending on how many articles the house passes in the senate. that's all things are mostly to proceed, the question remains when the race articles of impeachment. and when the hold the public hearings that has been anticipated. and we don't have an answer to that yet. we know that they expect to do so at some point and we know they would hope to finish this up pretty quickly but we still don't have a set timeline and things could drag on into the new year.
