12:01 pm
we begin with breaking news. republican storming today's impeachment deposition in one of the most aggressive moves that we've seen so far to push for more transparency. right now, house republicans are essentially occupying a secure facility and preventing a pentagon official from testifying this afternoon. the video of when they barged in earlier today, our senior producer on capitol hill, chad pergram reporting about a dozen republicans are refusing to leave at this hour. chad also tells us that some of them brought phones and electronic devices into the secure room which is known as a scif. that you may know is a major no-no. one republican saying he took the phones out of the room but the deposition is still delayed. a lot of chaos going on. today's testimony was set to be from laura cooper. she's a deputy assistant secretary of defense who oversees ukraine. lawmakers word eventually hear from her we expect about the
12:02 pm
approximately month long delay them in hundreds of millions of dollars of aid that was to go to the ukrainians and eventually did. that's the money that's in question of course in the impeachment inquiry. the search to determine whether or not there was a quid pro quo for said money in return for the investigation of biden business dealings in ukraine. new reporting on all of that as we are hearing about what happened inside ukraine months before a phone call between the countries leader in president trump. here. >> good afternoon. the associated press reporting more than two months before the phone call was launched, this impeachment inquiry, but the newly elected leader of ukraine, zelensky, concerned about pressure coming from president trump to investigate former vice president joe biden. the ap says that zelensky gathered advisors on may 7 and spent much of the discussion talking about president trump and his personal attorney
12:03 pm
rudy giuliani insisting on a probe. ukrainian leadership. about how to avoid becoming entangled in the american election. here in capitol hill survey, pentagon official laura cooper arrived. it's believed she played a critical role in trying to move military aid ukraine forward but her deposition has been put on hold. about 30 republican lawmakers from other committees including armed services decided they'd had enough of these closed-door briefings not being allowed to attend so they stormed the secure location in the capital. some are continuing a sit in demanding a inclusive process. >> i'm gathered here with dozens of my congressional colleagues underground in the basement of the capital because behind those doors they intend to overturn the results of an american presidential election, we want to know what's going on. >> key democrats as republicans
12:04 pm
are getting desperate. >> they are doing this because this is what the guilty do. innocent people cooperate with investigations. innocent people follow the rules. people heard doing this clearly doing it at the behest of the president, not at the behest of order or anything that would honor our oath to the constitution. >> so far no new testimony today. >> martha: what about yesterday's testimony from mr. taylor? that is still causing a lot of commotion and interest. >> bill taylor, top american diplomat to ukraine, contradicting some things and other witness of said also contradicting things president trump has said about it. acting u.s. ambassador to ukraine give his deposition as part of the impeachment probe. harris has president trump pushed ukraine to investigate election interference in a company like the former vice president joe biden. -- former vice president joe biden's son. he was willing to withhold
12:05 pm
military aid to get it. white house allies say that should be out in the open. >> the fundamental question is one of fairness and especially on a most important vote. >> a key democrats as a case must be made openly to the american people. >> i do think they should go public. right now we are in the fact icles of impeachment are introduced, the public has a right to that testimony and i know the speaker is committed to making sure there is public testimony and public debate. >> is a great deal of tension right now here in capitol hill. >> martha: thank you very much. let's bring in the senior producer for capitol hill, chad pergram. the sit in, somewhat unusual. >> after go back to 2016 when house democrats took over for a sit in on firearms and that's
12:06 pm
essentially whatever republicans do today. there are pretty strict rules about serving on committees. your given committee assignments and you're only supposed to participate in those activities. have the house intelligent oversight and foreign affairs committees looking into this impeachment inquiry right now. they had other members kind of birch the doors here and try to get in and demand some of that information. there was just a comment here from an official with the intelligence committee who says "it was a stopped, a circus like atmosphere, behavior, and the pro-libertarian rules they violated house rules." one of the other things happen, some republicans went in with their phones and watches. those things are prohibited in the scif. the secure facility. i was told they had to go through and try to scrub it again to make sure that that wasn't violated in any way. one source said they might face ethics charges because you're not supposed to take those devices into the scif. it's not out of the question
12:07 pm
that some members of congress if you serve on a committee and have an interest in another one, to ask committee chair to sit in. it's kind of a gentle person's agreement. adam schiff has been saying we have to have just these three committees. intelligence, foreign affairs, oversight. >> martha: does he have a legitimate reason for doing that? there's a lot of backlash now on the way it looks. if they want to press forward, perhaps transparency is on their side. >> it cuts two ways. we believe will happen is they will put the information to the judiciary committee which will write the articles of impeachment and that's what everyone will get to review the transcripts and have public hearings. that's a few steps away. the problem is they haven't codified the investigation with a full vote on the house floor and that's why republicans are complaining about the process because nobody knows exactly what the rules on the road are but the democrats will say we are doing it that we want. it's clear in the constitution that you don't have to have it
12:08 pm
and therefore we don't have to have the full vote on the house floor and we can do it with these three committees. >> martha: thank you very much. team fox coverage continues with chief white house correspondent john roberts reporting live from the north lawn this afternoon. hi, john. >> good afternoon. nothing from president trump on camera today on the impeachment inquiry and what's going on about capitol hill today. we thought when he stopped for cameras on the way to the helicopter to go to pennsylvania that in addition to remarks he made on syria that he would take questions on this but he didn't. he turned on his heels and walked to the helicopter. the resident is giving a nine impeachment quoting john ratcliffe from your show last night. contradicting testimony from bill taylor. taylor telling congressional investigators he believed there was a quid pro quo in ukraine, that military it was being held up unless you can begin investigating bidens and the
12:09 pm
2016 election. here's what radcliffe told you last night. >> i can't tell you what he said but i can tell you what he didn't say. neither he nor any other witness has provided testimony that the ukrainians were aware that military aid was being withheld. if you can't have a pro quo with no quo. >> the president saying "where is the whistle-blower? the do-nothing democrats case is dead. "in terms of the timing of when ukraine learned that aid was being held up, "new york times" advancing the timeline to early august when top ukrainian officials were being told aid was held on. it was said that ukraine didn't know about it until september but it still puts the timeline beyond july 25 that the president had with president zelensky of ukraine. >> martha: will keep following
12:10 pm
it. thank you. john roberts of the white house. also today, president trump says turkey has agreed to a permanent cease-fire. the president said you never know how permanent anything is in the middle east but this is obviously happening along the border in syria after forcing critters allies out of the area. the president says he's lifting all the sanctions for now against turkey. >> the government of turkey informed my administration they would be stopping combat and their offensive in syria and it will indeed be permanent. however, you would also define the word permanent in that part of the world a somewhat questionable. we all understand that. we've saved the lives of many, many kurds. >> martha: president trump's decision to pull back u.s. troops from syria. reports on the ground have been
12:11 pm
disturbing. turkish fact finders accused of ethnic cleansing, intentionally releasing isis prisoners, and brutally executing our kurdish partners who fought and died alongside the united states special forces against the islamic state. a u.s. official confirming more than 100 isis fighters escaped amid the chaos. president trump claims they've been largely captured in his words. we come back now to john roberts for more on that. >> in an address to the nation before noon, president trump claiming a breakthrough that they 120 our five day interim cease-fire had produced enough results that he talked to president erdogan of turkey and erdogan said he was ready to declare permanent cease-fire between turkey and the kurds but as you pointed out, the president saying that in the middle east, permanent can be defined in many different ways. the president announcing as well as he pointed out that he would lift all sanctions that were imposed against turkey in the wake of their invasion of
12:12 pm
northern syria a couple weeks ago. while he was harshly criticized for pulling american forces away from the border region which many people believed if not giving a green light to turkey advance certainly set the conditions for them to be able to invade. the president said if it weren't for the intense fighting for a number of days between turkey and the kurds, this permanent cease-fire would never have happened. >> by getting the cease-fire to stick, moved on something that's very, very special. troops are safe. the pain and suffering of the three-day fight that occurred was directly responsible for our ability to make an agreement with turkey and the kurds that could never have been made without this short-term outburst. >> democratic senator bob menendez accusing the president of kowtowing to turkey and russia, abandoning the kurds and opening the door to an isis resurgence. menendez sang "the only question
12:13 pm
remaining is whether president trump is acting directly at the behest of russian and turkish leaders or whether he is willfully blind to his own failures." after linus hunter lindsey graham applauding the president's actions. >> i agree with the president. without sanctions, there would've been no cease-fire. i'm hope we can make it a historic win-win but you cannot rely on syria, russia, or turkey to protect the united states against isis. >> kurdish fighters thinking president trump, general mazlo mazloum. his position today is different than it was ten days ago when kurdish leaders are saying our allies stabbed us in the back. martha. >> martha: they were trying to make as much peace with as many parties as they can. john, thank you very much.
12:14 pm
we are expecting to hear from the president later this hour from pittsburgh. we will see if he weighs in on any of these breaking stories that are happening. we will also head live to the middle east. correspondent benjamin hall with reaction around the region and whether our allies and adversaries see the cease-fire announcement as a white house win or a sign of weakness. from all the journalists at fox news, this is "fox news reporting." the only one to combine a safe sleep aid. and the 12-hour pain relieving strength of aleve. so...magic mornings happen. there's a better choice. aleve pm. pan' oneighbor: yes. takin' it off road station wagon? you know it's an suv! i know for fact your suv does not suck. why is that? it ain't got that vacuum in the back! we got to go. ♪ vacuum in the back, hallelujah! ♪ and i...was...shocked.

12:16 pm
12:17 pm
12:18 pm
>> martha: we are back with breaking news. senior producer for capitol hill reporting the stand up in congress could soon be over or is over i believe at this point. testimony with laura cooper can get underway as was. she's the top pentagon official overseeing ukraine. we are going to check back in with chad in a moment on that. first a foxed urgent as we are waiting for president trump to speak this hour at an energy conference in pittsburgh.
12:19 pm
it comes after an earlier announcement the united states going to live sections on turkey after the country agreed to a permanent cease-fire between the american allied kurds and the turkish military. the president says nearly all u.s. troops are leaving syria. they will be remaining though in the eastern part of the country to ignore the oil fields which are represented using the gray dots. three general areas where will be leaving troops to protect and prevent iran from coming into take over those areas where the oil facilities are. that as russian troops have moved into the northeastern zone of the country. benjamin hall reporting live from erbril, iraq. good evening. >> good evening, martha. the cease-fire has been holding. people are very happy about that. what we are seeing now instead is the carving up of northeastern syria by russia and
12:20 pm
turkey. just over the last day or so, we have seen russian troops mobilized, pushing north by land and air, moving into the areas where the u.s. had previously been deployed. the kremlin has also taken charge of overseeing the departure of kurds and stf fighters from the 20-mile exclusion zone and they are being tough saying the next six days, the kurds have to leave the area or they risk being steamrolled by turkish forces. there are certainly some threats perhaps still ahead. the agreement reached by president erdogan and putin really has transformed the map of northeast syria. turkey is going to hold on to the areas it seized in the regions invasion while russian syria control the rest. as you alluded to, the u.s. is going to keep a small contingent of troops around the key oil facilities to stop those falling into either syrian or perhaps isis hands. as for the u.s. troops who left syria in the last few days, iraq
12:21 pm
has closed the door to leave them in iraq. mark esper met with his iraqi counterpart who told him those troops were only allowed to transit through iraq and they would have to leave in four weeks. the planet bent to leave them there perhaps for much longer. perchance isis would remarriage took a reemerge, they would be there >> marthastephen thank you. benjamin hall in iraq. imagine having to watch her child go through chemotherapy. i now imagine if you were told sorry but we are out of the life-saving drug that your child is in the middle of treatments for. that scenario is a reality for some families in this country and children's lives could depend on what happens next. ws. veterans can refinance their va loans with no income verification, no appraisal, and no out of pocket costs.

12:28 pm

12:29 pm

12:35 pm
some of you can ask him. that's the whole point of being challenge. >> reporter: does the white house need to do a better job on communicating about impeachment? >> martha: senator lindsey graham, at the center of this conversation on capitol hill. let's go to chad pergram standing by. >> in just the past couple moments, the closed-door transcribed interviews, the deposition with laura cooper, the pentagon official, started. this was delayed by about five and half hours because you had republicans who are not on the intelligence oversight and foreign affairs committee storm the scif, the secure facility where they do these closed your interviews right behind me. basically they couldn't start because adam schiff said you're not a member of the community. you shouldn't be there. there's also a security issue where some members brought in their cell phones and their electronic watches. that's a big no-no. but they seem to have come to some sort of an agreement and we been seeing a parade of members from those three committees filing back into the room. we expect this to go late into
12:36 pm
the night. on this question of never trumpers, i will read a tweet from president trump. he says "the never trumper republicans, though on respirators with no money left are certainly worse for our country than the do-nothing democrats. a few minutes ago we spoke with kevin mccarthy. whether or not republicans were doing enough to defend the president and he said "you have to ask the president." as for those guerrilla tactics that we saw this morning, mccarthy said how is a confrontational for a member to walk in to a committee and asked for information on something they will be asked on. here's the other issue. laura cooper is under subpoena and she agreed to come on the expectation that she would be taking questions from three committees. when you have other members from other committee show up, it breaks the of the agreement.
12:37 pm
at some point we are expecting the transcripts of all the interviews to be published. i was told late last night that they thought the interviews would start to slow down because they had pretty much gotten to the completeness of the universe of all the people who knew about this ukraine issue. >> martha: thank you. chad pergram reporting on capitol hill. the pentagon just held a briefing on the woman testifying on the impeachment inquiry. jennifer griffin has more information on her background and what she brings to the table. she is live at the pentagon. >> hi, martha. the briefing was off-camera and it was a senior defense official. laura cooper is a 20 year bureaucrat who is worked in the pentagon on ukraine and russian issues for many, many years. what we just learned in this briefing is that as soon as she was asked to voluntarily appear
12:38 pm
for this impeachment hearing, she immediately hired private counsel. the background that is that the house barred agency councils. the pentagon council couldn't attend the hearing with laura cooper. she's had two out-of-pocket higher private counsel. this morning she was issued a subpoena to appear before the committee even though she'd already agreed to appear. right now where things stand in terms of the subpoena of documents. pentagon related to the delay in ukraine aid that's at the center of this controversy, there are thousands of pages of documents. we are told the pentagon will comply with the subpoena but they are going to scrub the documents and determine which ones fall under potential executive privilege and then they will defer. dod council will refer to the white house counsel so basically defer to the white house and of the white house counsel decides
12:39 pm
not to share the documents with the committees on capitol hill, by asserting executive privilege, then dod will comply because they are an agency that falls under the white house. big developments. laura cooper is testifying right now. we did not get any indication about what she would say in the testimony but she has had to hire private counsel and at this point the pentagon legal counsel's office is feeling quite overwhelmed with the request for documentation. they say they are a small office and they cannot keep up with the requests from capitol hill regarding this and other inquiries. the one key quote was "we are in uncharted territory." a somewhat emotional briefing and got a bit heated at times as pentagon press corps reporters questioned the defense officials about why they were not able to hand over the documents that the house democrats were requesting.
12:40 pm
>> martha: we will see if the documents get out one way or another and if she has an opening statement. we have seen those over the course of these interviews begin to trickle out as the day moves on. we'll keep an eye out for that. jennifer, thank you. jennifer griffin reporting from the pentagon. two men with close connections to president trump's personal lawyer rudy giuliani pleading not guilty to fondling foreign money into a pro-trump super pac and other american campaigns. the feds accuse the man of campaign finance violations. talking about plans to fight the charges. >> many false things have been said about me and my family recently. i look forward to defending myself vigorously in court and i'm certain the truth will be revealed and i will be vindicated. >> martha: these two men are american citizens, one from belarus and the other morning

12:42 pm
federal races hoping to gain influence and eventually enrich themselves. parnas' attorney says they will be vindicated. >> this is the beginning of the legal process, the initial appearance in this jurisdiction. we look forward to defending mr. parnas in the courts. based upon the evidence or not a smear campaign driven by self-serving and misleading leaks apparently from the highest levels of our governme government. >> the judge said the man can't contact other until the next court date on december 2. martha. >> martha: thank you very muc much. a new exhibit at the national 9/11 memorial and museum displaying items from the mission to find bin laden and bring him to justice. one of the exhibits advisors who spent 25 years at the fbi working on the case is here next. year lows. veterans can refinance their va loans with no income
