a significant step by the house intelligence committee as it examines whether trump abused the office of president when he asked ukraine's president to dig up dirt on political rival joe biden this country trump has been pushing back aggressively firing at verbal barbs against democrats leading the impeachment probe reports on the whistleblower that prompted us probably figured i made a call the call was perfect when the whistleblower reported it he made a senator and then you have that i'm sure of who even worse made up my words which i think is just horrible that everything that they are going to but the allegations against the president are mushrooming the australian government has confirmed that trump recently urged prime minister scott morrison to help him discredit the miller inquiry another instance of trump pushing his own personal political interests with

a foreign leader. the new york times reports that the wise has then restricted access to the call a breach of convention also used to conceal trump's call with the ukrainian president. well let's bring in the washington correspondent of a cellar to unpack today's events of a welcome public opinion finally seems to have shifted about half an hour support the impeachment inquiry what's behind that you think. well we've seen a steady search here since last week where numbers went up 8 percent so nearly every 2nd american now supports an impeachment inquiry against president trump that was a pretty much different just a couple weeks ago and so what began of very much as a political risk full of the democratic party looks like a successful path at least until now because what the democrats also know is that

they eventually will have very difficult to pass to impeach the president before the senate the senate has to speak the final verdict and the senate is controlled by the republicans but what they also know right now is with this growing public support that this could also damage president trump in the 2020 election campaign will trump's personal lawyer rudy giuliani is now being subpoenaed and trump is lashing out how much pressure do you think the president is feeling right now well he's under a lot of pressure and 1st and foremost rudy giuliani is president trump's private lawyer who travel to madrid to meet ukrainian officials and press sensually press the ukraine to initiate investigations against joe biden and his son hunter biden the front runner of the democratic party and therefore a likely potential political rival of president trump so that's very problematic in

and off itself and 3 the committees are now believing that president trump and rudy giuliani could have been jeopardizing the national security with their behavior by pressing the ukraine to interfere in national election and that is obviously for the president very dangerous as the rudy giuliani was acting on his behalf. and on another front all of the new york times reported today that trump has been in touch with the astray the in prime minister scott morrison asking for 5 is what can you tell us about that well following that report on the investigation on russian election meddling in the 2016 campaign the so-called moller investigation was initiated after tips came from australian officials and all following that report president trump pressed the old australian prime minister on the phone to start investigating the beginnings of the mahler investigation

obviously in an attempt to spin that back to raise doubts about the credibility of these 2 investigations the transcript reportedly was then treated the same way that the transcript of the selenski call the ukrainian president was treated that it was saved on a high security computer system so that very much looks like a common practice under. the white house under president trump to try to make material that is potentially damaging simply disappear of a cell in washington thanks be time now to some of the other stories making news around the world but as prime minister barak johnson says he'll release his final plan this week to to get a deal for britain to leave the european union at the end of october report suggests his ideas include an island economic zone and for the e.u.
