quo in military aid to the country, now reportedly to testify that he only backed that up because the president told him and hunter biden publicly defended work in ukraine. hunter is planning to step down from the board of a chinese private equity firm. counselor kellyanne conway saying all this is long overdue. >> he should have done this quite a while ago, in fact, he probably shouldn't have been on the board to begin with, he hitched a ride in air force 2, the vice president of the united states, his father. joe biden is in big trouble, calling for president's impeachment because he doesn't have a path to beat the president at the ballot box. eric: fox news coverage and breaking developments for you, kevin corke, latest reaction

from the white house and let's begin with mollie hemingway. >> the company shanghai investment fund management company, hunter biden's lawyer says former vice president's son, quote, has not received any compensation for being on bhr's board of directors and has not received any return on his investment, still his lawyer says hunter biden intends to resign from the bhr board of directors by the end of this month, moreover according to statement today hunter biden made this commitment about his future business dealings if his father were to win the presidency. quote, under a biden administration hunter will readily comply with any and all guidelines or standards a president biden may issue including any restrictions related to overseas business interests, in any event hunter will grow not to serve on boards of or work on behalf of

foreign-owned companies. republicans suggest this backseat -- backs up what president trump suggested that he needed to be investigated. >> it's pretty amazing after light has been shined to what seemingly interesting deals in ukraine and china, now come out and say i will step away because it might seem conflict with my father which he ever becomes president. this just shows you how much this is a messed up situation and how much -- if there were other things going on -- >> meanwhile on capitol hill democrats are trying to figure out how to proceed with the whistleblowers and impeachment inquiry, they want whistleblowers to provide written answers to questions, republicans don't want it all kept in secret. the democratic chairman of the house intelligence committee on that. >> the republicans would like nothing better because they view their role as defending the president, the president's

lawyers, if witnesses could tailor their testimony, for one witness to hear that another witness can hear to know what they can give away. there's a reason grand jury proceedings, for example, are done out of public view initially. >> republican congressman collin says he wants to pick the lock on any closed doors in this impeachment inquiry and open it up to americans can see what has actually been happening. eric. eric: thanks so much, arthel. arthel: now for white house reaction to all of this, we go to kevin live on the north lawn. >> arthel, if the president is going to move away from rudy giuliani, there's no indication of that happening any time soon, certainly not if you listened to the content of his conversation with judge jeanine last night, he didn't know about any possible investigation into long-time friend and lawyer nor did he know what if anything a possible federal probe might

have to do with giuliani's association with two men who you may recall were arrested this past week in washington, but here at the the only client thas to matter. >> i stand behind rudy giuliani, absolutely. one of the greatest, maybe the greatest mayor in the history of new york, he was a fantastic prosecutor, i know nothing about him being under investigation. >> meanwhile over on capitol hill as you no doubt heard the march toward impeachment continues unabated but i think it's also fair to point this out, not without a bit of criticism for the person leading the charge, that, of course, california congressman adam schiff. >> i want adam schiff under oath every time he talks from now on because he does what liars and

cheaters, he lies to the american people, 100 republicans have called and don't have faith that he can be impartialed here and neither do we. >> strong criticism from the white house and kellyanne conway, we will hear more from adam schiff in the next half hour or make it next hour as he responds to criticisms about conducting the probe primarily in secret. arthel: kevin corke, thank you very much. eric. eric: the president to pull special forces out of syria, new warnings of growing humanitarian crisis and turkey is mounting a genocide and mass slaughter of our allies the kurds, defense secretary defending the president's move insisting he says that turkey was ready to invade to attack the kurdish forces regardless of u.s. actions, this, of course, amid mounting civilian death toll continue report of war atrocities committed by the armed militias backed by turkey who have invaded, garrett tenney

has more on the unfolding story, garrett. >> last night president trump ordered all u.s. troops to be withdrawn in northern syria after he ordered forces to pull out of specific area which opened the door to turkish offensive, without protection of american troops, the kurdish fighters in the area are now cutting a deal with the russian-backed syrian government forces to help push back turkey and prevent has slaughter, on fox news sunday defense secretary mark defended president trump's decision. >> what we are facing is u.s. forces in -- trapped between a syrian-russian army moving north to take on the turkish army that's moving south, puts us in a terrible position and the protection safety of service members comes first to me. >> the president has received a lot of criticism for abandoning the kurdish fighters who have

been the staunchest allies in the region in fight against isis and defended the move, the kurds and turkey have been fighting for many years, turkey considereds the pkk the worst terrorist of all, others my want to come in and fight for one side or the other, let them, we are monitoring the situation closely, endless wars. on nbc meet the press, the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee said there's nothing more disgusting than what the president is allowing to happen to the kurds. >> trust the united states to be ally, who you would think that it pays for them to align themselves with us, nobody, this is going to make people flee from us and it's just absolutely disgraceful that the president of the united states is facilitating all of this. >> the white house has warned turkey that if it goes too far there will be consequences including sanctions from the

u.s. but so far the president and his administration have not defined exactly what too far looks like, eric. eric: all right, garrett, in a few moments we will hear more from all of this who will be here live with the united nations security council view. arthel. arthel: thank you, for more on this now, republican congressman peter king of new york and member of the house homeland security committee, congressman, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you, arthel. arthel: i want to start here as we we were reporting, president trump ordering withdrawal of a thousand u.s. troops from northern syria, leaving the kurds, syrian democratic forces behind to be slaughtered in their words, what's your reaction to this move? >> now, i strongly disagree with the president's decision, i think it's essential that we have a presence there and that fact that we were a presence to me is what did allow for some sense of normalcy there.

once we pull out the way we did, that's going to undermine the credibility, this is similar to what president obama did when he allowed syria to cross the red sign as far as using chemical weapons back in 2013-2014 and what is more important than anything in the middle east is not the amount of troops we have but keeping our word, keeping our credibility, that's what enables countries like jordan and israel, saudi arabia and others to make decisions based on the reliance of the u.s., once we pull out so quickly as we've done that undermines our credibility and increases the chance of war, this is not an endless war the u.s. is involved in, the fact is that those troops were there, they were not suffering casualty, if they were it was minimal, this was not a war going on that the u.s. was heavily engaged, we were there as stabilizing force and by pulling out it will increase violence and weaken our credibility and strengthen iran.

arthel: in the process of unraveling situation with turkey and turkey's rebooted war, isis prisoners released or able to escape, should americans be afraid or concerned about retaliation or a new attack from isis or their foot soldiers? >> yes, isis caliphate has been destroyed but thousands and thousands of isis members an those isis troops that are right now being held by the kurds, if they are turned loose, that means they can be on their way to the united states, this is a real issue and, again, again europe and the united states, as far as flights going back and forth, so many terrorists have come through europe into the united states so this definitely creates a security issue for the united states and it's to me, if they are released and the kurds, no choice but to release them, that's definitely a threat to the united states. arthel: will you and your committee start now formulating some sort of plan of -- attack

for lack of a better word at the moment but plan to protect our homeland in the event of these possible new arrivals of mortar risks coming here? >> yeah, homeland security committee, again, bipartisan, democrats control it now, but our main purpose is to protect us against the attacks, protect the homeland from being attacked and hundreds or thousands of isis prisoners going back into europe or loose in the middle east, that increase it is chance of them coming to the united states, so they'll have to definitely as far as i'm concerned, definite increase in security measures taken by the united states against this threat. arthel: now to former acting homeland security secretary kevin mcaleenan quitting temporary job after 6 months of being there, what's your reaction to resignation and what does it take to stick in this position and who has what it

takes? >> yeah, again, kevin mcaleenan, he has done a very good job, i think some of the agreement that is he worked out with central american countries will be helpful to the united states, again, professional, as to who would take his place, i don't know, the president says there's a number of people, there are qualified people in the government and obviously right now the focus of homeland security is on border control, so i assume it'll be somebody with experience on dealing with the border but i have no names in mind. arthel: fair enough, should the next candidate whoever he or she may be be formally nominated for a senate confirmation? >> i think that may have to be done at this stage, i don't know how many acting you can have, to me it's better to get somebody

confirmed and have them in office because that gives them, not just freedom to move more, but it let's people in the department know that this guy or this woman is going to be there and it gives them more authority in dealing with the bureaucracy because it can be different views within the bureaucracy and the secretary has to have the assurance that those under him know he's going to be there and have to do what he says or she says. arthel: this means now that president trump has to choose a fifth dhs secretary in 3 years, i mean, does this resolving door leave security in the homeland in jeopardy or compromised? >> i would hope not. there are professionals in homeland security department, congress is in contact with them, local police, state police, other law enforcement agencies are in contact with them, they are providing information needed, from my own perspective i view homeland security's main obligation to protect us from another 9/11 or

boston marathon bombing, obviously immigration is also important because you have terrorists coming across the border, but, no, i have not seen any let up as far as effectiveness in homeland security in dealing with terrorists coming overseas. arthel: all right, i have to leave it there, always a pleasure, we thank you for your time on sunday mornings, thank you. eric: some top democratic candidates campaigning in iowa, including former vice president joe biden, pitching union members, latest from iowa on the democratic race. plus more on the turkish slaughter in syria, our allies killed, isis prisoners reported free, the community condemning erdogan, one voice, karen pierce is here to tell us how turkish invasion can stop liberty mutual customizes your car insurance,

hundreds of isis prisoners escaped from coalition base. trey yngst with all details. trey. >> much of what is happening we can't show you, the images are too graphic but there's evidence today of war crimes being committed, civilians being targeted and isis prisoners escaping, all of this after the trump administration made a decision to withdraw a group of american forces meant to deter such an invasion from occurring, today the u.s. secretary of defense marked full u.s. withdrawal from northern syria is underway. >> last night he directed that we begin a withdrawal of u.s. forces from northern part of syria. chris: how many people are we talking about and how quickly are they going to move out? >> less than a thousand, i can't give you a timeline because it

changes hourly. >> president trump tweeted multiple times about the situation, he's dealing with congress about imposing sanctions on turkey, turkish president erdoga information claims that more than 20 kurdish villages have been taken over by his forces, as turkish air strikes consider to come -- bombard kurdish towns. syrian democratic forces says isis fighters and family members have escaped and at least 40 civilian casualties are being reported since the beginning of the operation on the syrian side as well as 18 on the turkish side. the united nations says 100,000 civilians in syria have actually fled amid the new round of violence since it began just last week, to give you a better idea of what is unfolding on the ground, turkish forces have taken over a number of key roads in the area, on one occasion

prominent kurdish politician stopped and reportedly dragged on the vehicle and executed on the spot, worst of humanity is unfolding today in syria as president trump tweets, congress considers sanctions that wouldn't actually be implemented until a later date and the world watches, arthel. arthel: trey yngst thank you. >> the u.s. has not in any way endorsed the decision of the government of turkey to mount a military incursion into northeast syria. president trump has emphasized to the government of turkey that they bear full responsibility to protecting the kurdish population and religious minorities including christians and ensuring that no humanitarian crisis takes place. eric: u.s. ambassador to the united nations after emergency security council meeting this past week and turkey's invasion of syria, the 5 european members of the council then condemn

turkey's action, full council vote could not agree on statement of condemnation, one of those diplomats announcing turkey's aggression joins us now, british ambassador to the united nations karen, madame ambassador thank you for being here. critics on both sides of the aisle, republicans and democrats are saying that the president's withdrawal of u.s. troops has committed erdogan to killing allies, the kurds, the president wants to end endless wars, what is the security council's response? >> the security council had a meeting earlier this week on the situation, we looked at two things, we looked at the security situation, we also had a briefing on the humanitarian side on the refugees, and the worry is threefold really, one is about the stability of the region which this is a setback

to, one is about prosecution which threatens to undermine. eric: do you have discussions with turkish counterparts and ordering them or trying to have them stop? >> yes, we have, our prime minister boris johnson has been in touch with president erdogan and former secretary has been in touch with the turkish foreign minister, we've made clear we don't support the operation, we want it to stop, we've urged the turks to show restraint on the ground, we recognize turkey's legitimate security concerns, they've had the concerns about that area for decades really, but we believe that the best thing to do is to get back into dialogue and discussion with the americans and others about how

best to ensure the safety of that area so we are calling for operation to stop. >> is there concern in your government about the president's reported phone call with erdogan last sunday when he went off talking points and some say gave the green light for this, others as you heard kelly kraft say that the americans do not support this is the concern about the president's actions? >> i think the concern is more about the decision that the turks have taken, as i say they are a nato ally, they have been extremely generous in looking after refugees in prolonged syrian war but this is a step that's very, very difficult to understand, we want it to stop, we want the un to be able to help the civilians in the area and we want the focus to get back on fighting isis. >> 3.6 million or so and erdogan supposedly claims to release them that means in your

backyard. >> migration is a very difficult when it concerns this part of the world, european union including britain has been having intensive talks to tackle difficult problem. i don't think it's helpful if threats are made in this respect, these are real people, real lives we are talking about, very difficult to see how they can properly be helped, but the european union is urgently on the case. >> talk about turkey being a nato ally, of course, the u.s. has a base there and we have nuclear reportedly have nuclear bombs and weapons there. is this how a friend should act? they buy russian military equipment, the missile system, should turkey be kicked out of nato, should they be suspended or censored? >> we believe that turkey is a strong nato ally, we believe he's a strong partner of the united kingdom. >> despite what they're doing? >> strategically long-term turkey has been, we hope will be a good nato ally.

this particular operation as we just said gives us lots of cause for concern, whether or not it affects turkey strategic posture something we hope will not happen but obviously something we need to talk to the turks about. >> would your government call for arm's embargo against turkish officials similar like washington is talking about or is it too premature? >> i would personally say it's premature, i haven't seen anything to suggest that either measures are eminent, european foreign ministers are having regular meetings on monday, i'm sure this issue will be discussed, but i think at the moment it's premature to talk of sanctions, but what we do want is to encourage the turks to stop the operation, to allow humanitarian access, the turks themselves have said that they will abide by international humanitarian law which governs conflict, we look for them to do that. >> finally, ambassador, can this be ended this week, how do you

see this rolling out potentially, what's your prediction? >> i would hope that it could be ended as soon as possible, but i feel that the disposition of forces on the ground is going to make that terribly difficult but what i would say that every day it goes on the risks of refugees goes up and the risks of humanitarian suffering goes up and the risks that we start reversing some of the gains we've all made including turkey in the fight against isis, that goes out as well. the only people who benefit from this are assad and the russians and that's not the situation we want to be. eric: explain that very briefly o how russia and iran basically can be helped by this? >> i think i think that has division between nato allies is good news for russia, doesn't have to have a direct effect, it's a good thing for them, it also may mean that the kurds in that part of syria need to turn to the syrian government for

assistance, and then that in turn would lead to some of the stability that we've seen throughout syria being put in jeopardy and it would take the focus off getting back to an international consensus about how to take the political process in syria forward. fundamentally we all need to get back to forging that international consensus and this actually syria, whether turkish side or syrian side doesn't help us get to that goal. eric: it is a heartbreaking situation certainly not only on the ground but as you say strategically for nato allies and the west, ambassador karen, thank you very much. thank you for coming in, of course. arthel. arthel: democrats on the move in iowa in today's big event and why questions about joe biden's son business dealings won't go away, plus president trump hammering the impeachment push, republicans claim that the democrats have not been transparent about the latest

move. >> i've now spent over 20 hours behind closed doors listening to testimony and if that testimony were to come out, you would realize that it would be exhibit a and exhibit b on -- on the exoneration of this president

arthel: house democrats firing back at the trump administration over attempt to block witnesses from testifying in the impeachment inquiry, committee chairman saying they will view any such efforts as obstruction, the ranking republican on the house judiciary committee doug collins on sunday morning futures this mourning voicing concerns about a lack of transparency on the democrats' part. >> democrats realize that in light of day they couldn't find anything to impeach president trump on so now they are going behind closed doors and believing that the american public is not smart enough to realize what they are doing and leak out what they want to and influence this next application

cycle. arthel: let's bring in now former u.s. attorney guy lewis, served with william barr at the justice department during president george h.w. bush administration. we will get back to those comments later but i want to start here and move the story forward, you have gordon, u.s. ambassador to european union who, just to set this up, text messenger to ukraine bill taylor said that i think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with the political campaign, now, this is after speaking with president trump because they were going back and forth on text messages, but then hours past by and after speaking with president trump responded that there were no quote, no quid pro quos of any kind. he's going to say that he,

quote, relied on the president's assurances and good faith and passed these along, talking about the text message, i ask you mr. lewis, what is the impact of this testimony this week, what will the impact be? >> well, it's interesting because, look, you've got the president who is getting major pushback in this entire effort and really when you take a step or two back, arthel, you know, i think his position is legitimate to give pushback because, look, who in their right mind will participate in a process where, look, the other side's lawyer can be present but yours can't? arthel: okay, we are getting off subject already, please let's stick to the point and i asked you what do you think will be the impact of ambassador's deposition this week, if you can start there? >> i think he's got to get firsthand account of what exactly happened, which is contained in the -- the emails

and the texts that occurred at the time, so there's your best evidence. arthel: okay. >> but still the process matters, look, you can -- you can spin this any way you want. arthel: i'm not spinning, i'm asking questions and the next question i have for you is can the state department once again ban or prevent ambassador from testifying? >> well, they can insist on process being followed, again, process matters. arthel: right. being subpoenaed by the committee that has the power to subpoena him and compel him to testify, that's what's happening. that's the process. >> but there's a process for this. look, my point is there's a process for this. you can't issue a subpoena on friday which has happened before in this committee. arthel: that's what's happening, i mean, it's kind of a game here. >> well, look, both sides are

trying to get an advantage during the testimony, my point is, issue the subpoena, conduct the interview and, yes, i agree with the prior representative, let the american people decide, process matters, procedure matters, be fair, that's all i'm saying. arthel: absolutely, that is -- i agree with you on that. >> we are on the same page. arthel: we are on the same page, listen, this is really a sobering time, nobody wants to see any -- any of our presidents going through an impeachment process, so this is certainly nothing to be, my concern is about patriotism and not about politics. let me read a statement of democratic chairman of 3 house committees conducting impeachment inquiry, any efforts by the trump administration officials to prevent witness cooperation with the committees will be deemed obstruction of a

coequal branch of government and fair inference maybe drawn against the president on the underlying allegations of corruption and/or cover-up, is it in his right to determine who testifies before congress or is it obstruction of justice? >> well, i don't think it's obstruction of justice and i do think that the executive branch when -- when the legislative branch is issuing subpoenas to members of the executive branch, again, they are entitled to participate in the process, whether it's through their lawyers, whether through asking questions or issuing subpoenas, again, that's the kind of fairness -- arthel: how are they being banned or barred from participating? >> well, their lawyers are not allowed to ask questions. they're not allowed to issue subpoenas, they've not even

voted, and that's why the republicans are up in arms on this. they've not even voted on the process. follow the same procedure they used in clinton, is that too much to ask in arthel: i want to ask you, i was told i have a minute and i know that you served with william barr at the department of justice under president bush 41 and strictly from a legal and constitutional perspective, what's your assessment of attorney general william barr's actions throughout the process? >> i think he's followed the book, crossed t's and dotted i's, i think only fidelity is to the constitution, it's interesting because barr is not a trumper, barr's initial interaction was with h.w. bush and then george w. bush the son, that's where his service has

been, his loyalty is to the constitution and rule of law. arthel: all right, we will leave it there, mr. lewis, thank you very much for joining us. >> okay. arthel: take care eric: turning to 2020 presidential campaign, candidates making pitch to union members in iowa today, part 2 of the united food and commercial workers international unions candidates form and man, are these people flying all over the country to attend these things, former vice president joe biden is said to be there as well as rival elizabeth warren, she's been gaining ground and kamala harris and mayor pete also. ellison barber on the ground where this is being held, hey, ellison. >> hey, eric, big group of people heading here today, certainly the biggest name that we expect to hear from is former vice president joe biden among candidates that are appearing on the event, he's doing the best in the polls, he's also getting a lot of attention from the man

in the white house, president trump held two campaign-style rally this is week and spent extensive amount of time attacking former vice president joe biden as well as his son hunter, president trump won house with help of blue-collar voters, biden could threaten the block because he has historically done very well with blue-collar voters, today biden will address workers with the largest private sector union and try to convince them that he should be in the oval office, surely he will take questions of impeachment and today's news that his son resigned on the board of chinese company, can the question is biden do that without letting campaign issues that voters prioritize, pete buttigieg, harris and sanders, senator sanders spent 3 days in

the hospital 2 weeks ago after suffering heart attack, he's feeling well and doctors support eventual report to vigorous campaigning, for now he's trying to separate himself from elizabeth warren as she rises in the polls. >> there are differences between elizabeth and myself, she's a capitalist, i'm the only candidate who is going say to the ruling class of this country, the corporate elite, enough enough with your greed and your corruption, we need real change in the country. >> senator warren participated in forum hosted by the same union acid -- as did senator klobuchar. >> the latest on the search for one person still missing, plus a woman shot and killed in her home, her own home by police responding to a nonemergency
