presidential election he said he was instructed by a candidate it understood to be tunneled trump to make payments to two women to finance their obligations they had extramarital affairs with trump in an interview on fox news trump tonight breaking the law or did they come out of the campaign and they didn't come out of the campaign they came for me and i did about it you know i put i don't know if you know but i thought we did. about the payments but they didn't come out of the campaign my first question when i heard about it was did they come out of the campaign because that could be a little dicey and the line out of the white house is clear as the president said we've stated many times he did nothing wrong there are no charges against him he did nothing wrong there are no charges against him in this he did nothing wrong there are no charges against him the congress which will do as much authority as the executive branch at least on paper may see things differently impeachment becomes a possibility when there's evidence of what the u.s.
2:07 pm
constitution calls high crimes and misdemeanors but no make is a treading carefully prepared and i just don't think that engaging in speculation is the way to go and certainly i think impeachment talk is something that is not something we should be engaging in right now i don't think i've witnessed anything like that with this over the last year and. probably the american people haven't in modern times if there weren't people in rb of your show you wouldn't expect. to make it be so. do you hear what the house of representatives goes very that's because it's the house the votes to open an impeachment trial which then takes place in the senate republicans control both houses of congress that might be of some comfort to trump but by no means office total security. turning now to a stranger which is embroiled in a leadership crisis that could topple prime minister malcolm turnbull a new prime minister would be australia's sixth and less than
2:08 pm
a decade now to what has survived one leadership vote within his ruling liberal party this week and is now facing a second one on friday he described the challenge against him as an internal insurgency to move his conservative party to the far right. the reality is that i and my norah in the party room. supported by. others outside the parliament have sought to. bully intimidate others into. making this chinese leadership that they're seeking but obviously if people do want to. conduct an internal insurgency they're very hard to stop so we will have to let the democratic process play out. joining me now from sydney is journalist roger may not
2:09 pm
roger we just heard what prime minister turnbull had to say tell us more about the man who challenge him peter dutton he's a very polarizing figure in australia isn't. he's a he's a former policeman and he's proud to call himself a conservative right of center straight talking politician and he is certainly that he was the home affairs minister which covered integration. took a very large line of immigration and other people refugees asylum seekers are coming to us trailer he's been in parliament for the past seventeen years or so but despite that he's still fairly unknown to the electorate at large there was an opinion poll earlier this week in queensland and people showed his photograph and only anybody recognised him so these are a fairly unknown figure perhaps unkindly being branded a racist in the flashes by its critics despite all that he comes with you know
2:10 pm
fairly humble beginnings as a his father was a bricklayer his mother was a center worker and he's basically described as a social conservative a solid performer a grassroots painter but is he the man to run the country we will have to find out tomorrow and actually over the last ten years have been at many of what people are going to leadership spans explain what that means and why as a stray we're going to these leadership challenges within the party we had cabin rudd prime message and again our tony abbott and don't himself came in a party room coup in two thousand and fifteen. it was a leadership spill is essentially a vote for a new leader and he has can call a leadership spill and of the the sitting tenant they are the prime minister has to hold a vote. to reelect him or her or elect somebody else that's essentially a spill in australian parlance anyway why would there be so many still as well basically i suppose australian politicians lose their popularity quite quickly
2:11 pm
other been for politicians for prime ministers and the bar eight years alone and when they lose their popularity the opinion polls members of their own party get disenchanted with them and the same applies to the electorate at large and so there's quite a big push to get rid of them and most australians tend to be rather disenchanted with their are politicians and are eager to know move on to the next person if you like and the prime minister tell me no straight is quite short it's just three years now what is expected to happen on friday is a malcolm turnbull going to new as his health how much public support is there for him before you can roger. there is quite a bit of public support the base of what happens tomorrow and there's no guarantee the spill will happen there have to be forty three people other m.p.'s so only the petition for their leadership will actually takes place turnbull is said if there is a spill then he would ordinarily stand down and make way for other people the most
