>> two key impeachment med lines today. lawmakers on capitol hill will submit and publicly release a house trial brief by 5 p.m. the white house must issue their answer to the official articles of impeachment, just an hour later, by no later than 6 p.m. tonight. we're tracking all of that live for you here at america's news headquarters in washington. i'm gillian turner. leland, it's great to be with you. >> it's a saturday, but very much a workday here in the nation's capital. i'm leland vittert.

and they have relee -- released documents that one of rudy giuliani's associates talked with nunes' top aide. >> and they're burning the weekend oil. >> that's right, we're just beyond the 5 p.m. deadline where they put it forth and speaker of the house enjoyed late night tv. >> there are some who said they wanted to be impeached. just for the record, being impeached is a bad thing, right? >> and you're impeached forever. [applause] >> no matter what the senate does, it can never be erased. >> last night, house democrats released new documents showing what they say is more evidence of the trump administration wanting to pressure top ukrainian officials to investigate joe biden. the documents show messages between lev parnas and associate

a rudy giant and a top aide of devin nunes, a leader defender of the president and the messages shows that harvey and parnas were working to arrange interviews with ukrainians claiming wrongdoing by the bidens. >> she says they don't want to hear from anyone else. >> there is no need for additional witnesses. we need to remember this is going to extend quite a while if you have additional witnesses, it will go on much longer. we have several senators who would rather be out on the campaign trail. >> and leader mcconnell, hasn't shown resolution. we expect that we will have votes on the witnesses on tuesday, but can't be sure until we see the resolution that mcconnell has put together. >> it's quiet here on capitol hill, but we expect the foot traffic to increase as we approach that 5 p.m. eastern deadline. leland. >> all right. and we will wait for that to

break it down, if it happens. lucas, thank you. >> gillian. >> well, as the trial getting underway in the senate, president trump's legal teamworking through the weekend. we're hearing they're drafting legal response to the two official articles of impeachment. they're due by 6 p.m. this evening, mark meredith is in palm beach where the president is spending the weekend with the latest details. mark, what is the thinking this weekend? >> gillian, president trump is only going to be in florida for a certain period of time. they're gearing up for what will likely be a historic and busy week ahead. as you mentioned we expect to see some paper work filed a couple of hours from now, and while we're still unclear exactly what the impeachment strategy is going to be from the defense team, the white house says it's confident in its legal defense team that they've put forth. >> i'm in a lot of meeting with pat cipollone. he's strong, but he's definitely in the silent. he and jay seculow are running

this team and they'll do it flawlessly and you can believe that we're prepared for whatever happens in the senate. >> well, the white house has selected some eight lawyers to represent the president in his defense. they include some high profile names, including former independent counsel, ken starr, someone the president criticized years ago as well as harvard professor alan dershowitz. dershowitz has been telling the media he'll play a small part in this. and the eight people on the screen. >> i see ken starr, a man who pushed the weakness impeachment case certainly in my lifetime, and now he's up here to defend the strongest impeachment case in my lifetime. well, that's their choice, but it's a weird choice. >> the white house has put out a statement as they announced who the their lawyers are going to be.

it's time for congress to turn its attention back to the work of the people and leave sham political investigations like this one in the past. of course the president insisted that impeachment is something that his opposition has been working on ever since he took office back in january of 2017, but democrats insist that this is all about trying to ensure corruption is not tolerated. we're looking to see if the president makes any comments on twitter. we don't expect to see him on camera today and he'll be in washington before heading out of an economic summit in switzerland. >> mark, and one of those folks, alan dershowitz already pushing back and saying overnight, he's not part of the full-time team, he's more part-time, he's part of a consultant and we'll keep our eye on that, too. >> he wanted to present a nonpartisan view of impeachment. >> he did. >> it's hard to imagine there's any nonpartisan views of impeachment. a man who knows that all too well, a man involved in the last

impeachment trial. former congressman and impeachment manager, bob barr, who was quite in demand these days on the television networks. we appreciate you making time for us. we'll put up the list of house impeachment managers, those who had had your job or in this current impeachment or have your job in this current impeachment. what is this weekend like for them, sir? >> very busy. contrairy to what senators leah and schumer just said on your show, the defense team that the white house has put up here is very strong and you can see that they anticipate various arguments on the part of the impeachment team. they are prepared for it, they have individuals from the constitutional law background, they have individuals who are very familiar with the process of the senate. they have lawyers that are very close with president clinton so i think it's important, a very

strong defense team that the white house put forward. >> we're looking at a picture of the house managers, those who had had your job back during the clinton impeachment or you had their job during the clinton impeachment. take us through that process. what happens? what are they preparing for for the coming weeks? >> it's a little bit different from the job that we had. the job that we had back in 1999 was to layout the evidence that had already been presented in the house that established that president clinton violated federal laws. in accord with what we viewed then and i view now as the standard in the constitution for impeachment. the job that these house managers have is very different, their job is to try and convince the united states senate or at least some members of the yits senate that a president should be removed from office even though he violated no law because the articles of impeachment now allege no

violation of any law. >> part of their argument conceivably is going to center around these new documents that came out from lev parnas who says is a questionable kwig, shadowy from the ukrainian oligarch and he himself has been charged with a number of crimes. this is what david french wrote about the latest batch of documents and known to hang out with rudy giuliani. and the support for the narrative that trump was pushing for the ukraine to investigate joe biden and they paint a picture of a slap-dash clown car diplomacy referring to president trump, rudy giuliani, others dealing with ukraine. take out that part of this.

is parnas helpful or hurtful to the democrat's days? >> he's utterly irrelevant to the democrat's case. if they believe that parnas is a key, a linchpin to their case against president trump why didn't they interview him and bring him before the house intelligence or the house judiciary committees? this is no secret what he was doing, he was giving interviews on various networks last fall, yet, the house managers, the house intelligence and judiciary committees, that is didn't call him and now they want to call him? that's not right. that's not proper and that's not-- that has no precedent. speaking of precedent. where do we go on this issue of witnesses in the senate? during the clinton impeachment, we didn't see monica lewinsky or betty curry or vernon jordan testify because of the agreement between the majority leader and the minority leader in the senate. do you anticipate that kind of

agreement coming out for this impeachment hearing or is this going to be the made for tv free for all everybody from unt hadar biden to les parnas to john bolden testifying? >> one a has to keep in mind. both senators leahy and senator schumer now clamoring for witnesses and new evidence, were part of the unanimous vote in the senate last time around that didn't want any new evidence and didn't want any new witnesses. and i suspect that the majority under senator mcconnell's leadership will decide not to have witnesses and not to introduce new evidence although i think the democrats will vote for that. i think that the republicans will hold strong and say, look, that's not the job of the senate. we're not going to do what the house refused to do. >> it is noteworthy that as the shoe, as you point out, is on

different feet for this version of the clinton impeachment, people have sudden views on what is and is not constitutional prerogative and meaning, from your perspective, this idea of a condensed timeline we're hearing now. mitch mcconnell has been awfully tight-lipped about his plans, but the idea of 24 hours of opening statements that you had before the senate during the clinton impeachment may be the same 24 hours, but only condensed into two days, does that play well for the prosecution for the managers or for president trump's defense team? >> i think it puts additional pressure on the managers, because as i say, they have a far tougher job than we had back then,because we had clear evidence after criminal case. the evidence was already very, very clear, in this case, they have a very important fundamental argument that they have to overcome and that is the constitution requires commission of a crime on the part of a president before they can be

removed from office. and the house did not show that, and now the managers are going to have to try and convince the senators notwithstanding that, they should still remove president trump from office. >> well, we know that you, like many of those who are on the impeachment manager list this time around served time as a prosecutor. you as a federal prosecutor and certainly appreciate your expertise in sharing with us here on a saturday, sir. we'll talk to you soon. >> my pleasure being with you. >> thank you. all right, a lot more on this tomorrow. chris wallace has an exclusive interview with the chairman of the house judiciary committee, south carolina republican senator lindsey graham. he has things to say how he views the impeachment inquiry and plus, howard kurtz is going to analyze the coverage starting up to the impeachment in the senate and media buzz starting tomorrow 11 a.m. eastern. >> we're taking you to live pictures now coming out of

beirut, lebanon, where protesters are demonstrating in the streets against what they're calling widespread corruption and mismanagement of the country's government. >> that is lebanese security forces guarding the entrance to a road leading up to the lebanese parliament building. this protest is following on comments yesterday from a senior hezbollah official who warned lebanon could fall into complete chaos and even completely collapse unless a new government is formed. the country has been undergoing a crippling financial crisis and mass protests for several weeks. also today iranian state media announced that the black boxes from the ukrainian jetliner that was shot down by iran's military is going to be sent to the

ukraine for further examination. from our own greg palkot in amman, jordan. why did they make that decision? >> it's an interesting decision and coming from the central agency in iran. it should have some validity. saying that the data and voice recorder black boxes recovered that ukrainian crash last week, and they threatened to hold onto on ukraine. there it's reported the data from the crash that left 176 people dead, will be viewed by experts from france, canada and united states and if they fail to extract that data they'll send it on to france where there's more rigorous equipment there. i think basically we're looking at a major climb down from iran. another effort to play catchup with something that they have acknowledged was a terrible error on their part. meanwhile, we're getting more

reaction to a fiery public sermon coming yesterday at friday prayers in tehran from iran supreme leader, the ayatollah khamenei, the first time he's done this in this forum. among other things, he branded the united states clowns, arrogant and cowardly, to which as you can imagine, president trump fired back with a few tweets overnight. let's read one. the so-called supreme leader of iran not so supreme lately had some nasty things to say about the united states and europe, and the people are suffering, he should be careful with his words. one more report from last night, a fundraiser at mar-a-lago and president trump spoke at that and apparently according to transcripts what he said he recounted the minutes leading up to the drone strike which ended up in the killing of the top general qasem soleimani and came up with another reason for doing this, it's another reported quote from the president, he was

saying bad things about our country. back to you. >> interesting, greg, to hear those comments from the grand ayatollah. he's known for making some of the et outlandish comments out. and don't mistake that for the sentiment of the iranian people. thank you for that reporting. we'll check back with you later next hour. if you want to hear more about this, we've got the latest from retired four-star general and strategic only list jack keane. he knows what military options president trump is now mulling over for iran. we are going to get him to tell us. >> authorities at three major u.s. airports are now screening passengers flying in from china. amid reports that a new viral outbreak that killed at least two people in a central chinese city could be on the move. christina coleman is outside of lax. one of these with entranced

screening, what they're looking for and why, hi, christina. >> hi, leland. china has reported 45 cases of the virus so far and there have been two deaths, which is why government officials are working hard right now to prevent this virus from spreading. there are about 100 c.d.c. officials skraeng passengers from passengers from a flight in china at kennedy airport and los angeles and san francisco airports. these passengers will be checked for fever, coughing, signs. corona virus. passengers who could be affected will underdp further testing and could be taken to noesh hospitals. on december 30th, china reported the outbreak of this respiratory disease in the city, a major transportation hub 700 miles south of beijing that has more than 11 million people. the c.d.c. says the risk of this corona virus to the general public is low, but they don't want to take any chances. especially since travel is heavy to and from china right now as

people take trips to celebrate the hewn r nar-- lunar new year. the earlier we get this virus the better we'll be able to protect people. >> and some had a large link to a large seafood market. this was closed earlier this year for cleaning. and they'll watch the developing situation. three cases of the virus were identified outside of china, two in thailand and one in japan. some are seriously ill and others were able to recover and the c.d.c. is working on creating a specific diagnostic test and they'll be distributing to different state health departments. leland. >> we'll watch to see if they find anybody coming in with the

virus. christina coleman at lax. thank you. >> and the party is now on in baton rouge where the parade is making its way through the streets. celebrations there now of the ncaa national champions of college football, the lsu tigers. the team capped off their undefeated season this week with a visit to the white house. >> they do know how to party down there. millions of americans in the path after major winter storm. it's already caused hundreds of flight cancellations and as you can see, the dangerous road conditions. adam foxx tracking the storm as it moves further and is in the bulls eye. this is a major system, you're seeing snow in the upper midwest and it's working its way to the mid atlantic. snow is on the way. how much snow? we'll answer that question in my full forecast after the break. wow!

that's ensure max protein, with high protein and 1 gram sugar. it's a sit-up, banana! bend at the waist! i'm tryin'! keep it up. you'll get there. whoa-hoa-hoa! 30 grams of protein, and one gram of sugar. ensure max protein.

uh, "fifteen minutes could save you 15%ain? or more on car insurance." i think we're gonna swap over to "over seventy-five years of savings and service." what, we're just gonna swap over? yep. pump the breaks on this, swap it over to that. pump the breaks, and, uh, swap over? that's right. instead of all this that i've already-? yeah. what are we gonna do with these? keep it at your desk, and save it for next time. geico. over 75 years of savings and service.

>> well, at least one person is now pronounced dead. another seriously injured after an avalanche at a local popular take tahoe ski resort. cole comstock was identified. the other man injured has not yet been identified, but taken

to the hospital with quote, severe lower body injuries. this comes just after a storm dumped over two feet of snow throughout the surrounding area. >> little bit farther east now. parts of the country, including chicago pummelled. the winter weather is creating harsh conditions across the northern border of the united states and the snow now making its way to the eastern seaboard and the fox extreme weather center last night. in chicago they stopped every flight for a few hours, it got so bad, adam. >> this is a real mess especially on the back side. this is the area you were talking about. this is the entire frontal boundary and the rain to the south and east and snow out in front of this and on the back side of the system where the air is really cold. this is some of the nastiest of the snowstorm. so moving across portions of wisconsin and now moving into portions of michigan. those are areas that continue to see nasty weather and cold

temperatures and the circulation grabs cold air out of canada and pulls it down behind it and these are the current wind chills and spots are negative 10 to negative 20 degrees as the entire system shifts off to the east it's going to pull the cold air with it and if you're out in front of where they're currently cold it will get a whole lot colder in the next couple of days. the winter storm watches and warnings, and continuing from the mid atlantic and the east coast and across the upper midwest and where we'll see the snowfall and blizzard-like conditions in some of the spo the to pay attention to. as far as timing goes, i'll show you quick. there's the motion of this. the snow that we'll see happens today and ends tonight and look at the temperatures on the back side of the system and pretty much down to the teens and in some cases down to single digits and this is a real winter storm system and it will bring that as it moves on out. >> we'll continue to watch it and the flight delays around the

country. adam, thanks. >> another trove of evidence in the college admissions scandal has now been made public. newly revealed e-mail shows how laurie loughlin and her husband massey mow giannuli got their daughters in on the crew team despite the fact that neither one of them actually played the sport. so far 14 people have been sentenced in this case. they range from six months in prison to no jail time at all. a big gap there. joining us now to break down why this is the case and what it all means, for lori loughlin's defense strategy. thank you for being with us. i want you to break do you know the evidence that we're seeing and first i want to pull down the e-mail from high school where the two daughters went.

l.a. merrymont high school, and the counselor to usc says conducted routine counselor call with usc to check up on dozens applicants that year. wh when we got to that, she was flagged for the crew team and i had no knowledge of crew and based on what i knew of her doubted she was involved in crew. so, here we have, if i'm mott mistaken, we have at high school telling the college that neither of these two women, you know, like played any sports at all. >> and that plays right into lori loughlin's hands and the hands of other defendants in these cases. i think the ultimate black eye is going to be on usc and other schools who are involved. because some of the other e-mails made it crystal clear that the school knows what's going on and other e-mails usc is basically telling people, including lori loughlin, hey,

look, your kid can get in if you consider getting a donation and that's not message that usc grads want out and not the message that usc wants. it's a black eye for the schools. gillian: usc recently fired three top officials from their athletic departments who they say was involved in this operation. is that not enough holding the athletics department accountable? >> no, i mean, that's throwing someone into the mix and saying, look, it's a sacraficial lamb. these practices have been going on at top schools, including harvard, yale, princeton, usc for the better part of 100 years. it's a valid defense and now lori loughlin and the other parents are making it and i promise people at usc are cringing. >> part of the argument that loughlin and others and her husband are making, it's not just about these departments at these problem schools, it's about this wider culture that these schools have actually created where it turns these parents into monsters. you know, they'll run over your

grandmother to get your, you know, second cousin into some program. it's a cultural problem in the united states that, you know, the wider community has to grapple with. it sounds like you're kind of on board with that? >> yeah, absolutely and i think that's also a valid defense for lori loughlin, she's going to say you'll a parent trying to do the best for my kid. i was overzealous, is that a crime especially at a school of this sort, stuff has been going on for so long. usc will have a black eye. gillian: she was doing before she switched her defense strategy. at first she was saying we don't know about this. we were in the dark, we didn't know we were taken for this ride so let's pull up this new piece of evidence we've got. an e-mail from rick singer, this recruit/master mind, to lori loughlin's husband.

he says laurie and mossy met with usc need for pdf and test, and a picture of her like a real athlete, too. isn't this now case closed? >> i don't think it's case closed, but is certainly doesn't make lori loughlin look good and 1.5 million e-mails are out there, another 500,000 documents so i will guarantee you this is not the last of the bad e-mails. >> what i mean is, she can make this case about the broader problem of this competitive climate, but this specific e-mail here shows that the three of them, i think isser, mossimo giannuli, her husband and lori herself, they all knew and admitted to themselves, none of them, they were not athletes and

photos of them where they looked like they were athletes. she can make the case that it's somebody else's fault, too, but this clearly the blame rests with her at least in part. >> that's right, she has top defense lawyers and they're going to basically try to get the jury and judge to look away from those documents and look at the broader culture, but those e-mails are bad for lori loughlin. it makes it crystal clear that she knew what she was doing. and the $64,000 question, was that a prescribe she offered or what the parents do for kids -- for parents to get their kids in prestigious universities. gillian: a statement from usc, responding after these documents have been made public. they're saying in a statement, what was offered to the giannulis was neither special or unique, tours, classes, and meetings, and to flag and the outcome of the admissions

process, it's not a substitute for otherwise being qualified for usc. that's the pushback from the school. andrew, thank you for joining us this afternoon, we appreciate it. >> anytime. gillian: you bet. leland: we'll be right back as we look at the women's marches around the country. i don't keep track of regrets.

and i don't add up the years. but what i do count on is boost high protein. and now, introducing new boost mobility with collagen for joint health. when taken daily, its key nutrients help support joints, muscles, and strong bones. new, boost mobility.

>> the democrats campaigning for 2020 out now in full force in iowa. they're looking to rein it in over the crucial final days before the state's first in the nation caucuses. ellison barber is there tracking all of them. ellison, what are they up to today? >> hey, gillian, yeah, it's less than 20 days until the iowa caucuses. at this point every single day matters. the candidates know that. we just heard four of them speak at an education event in this building behind me, but for some of that the impeachment trial is creating additional obstacles. there are ways to campaign in iowa from outside of the state,

but every single candidate impacted by the impeachment trial says that's less than ideal. iowans, they value candidate to voter face time and impeachment. you have four senators, frontrunners in iowa running for president and they're having to adjust their campaign plans in the final stretch. amy klobuchar, michael bennet, bernie sanders bernie sanders and they have to return and others like about pete buttigieg remain on the ground. and andrew yang is just starting to make stops in iowa every day between now and the february 3rd caucuses and the senators seem to be banking on the idea most voters know they have a constitutional duty to be at the impeachment trial. if they could they would be in iowa right now. senator amy klobuchar just spoke to reporters after speaking to the iowa state education, and

she plans to double down and campaign harder, reminding reporters she made roughly 10 stops a day during her iowa bus tour. and with the impeachment trial she'll have to do more. >> i'm balancing and found some way to get here. i'm not canceling events and that's how i run my life and how i'm going to run this campaign to the very end. >> warren, sanders and klobuchar all are expected to send surrogates and family members to campaign in plieses like iowa. primarily iowa and a little m new hampshire as well because that caucus happened eight days after this one so they can have a presence here even though they're not physically here. amy klobuchar is polling under 15% in the state. and her campaign say they plan to skype and phone into some events here in iowa. gillian. gillian: it's a unique political conundrum these dems are facing at this point.

we'll check back with you next hour for more on that. thank you. leland: all right. there are a lot of undecided voters still in iowa at least according to the polls so with that we bring in doug wagner, the cedar rapids radio host. pick up where ellison left off, doug. do iowa caucus goers ding warren, sanders, klobuchar, bennet for not being there these next couple of weeks? >> you know, i don't think they do. first of all, thanks for having me on the program again, leland. i don't think they do because everybody understands it's a constitutional dutiy and that they're physically required to be there in the first place. the one thing that is interesting, you had the des moines register, and the poll that came out before the last debate in iowa and the only other poll since then is a poll that switched over in the last two months, it's gone up from 28%, people who were firm on their first choice to 43% so

they're starting to get to that point. one of the things that was unique about the iowa caucuses is that you have to have a minimum of 15% support in order to make each successive round. so it's really critical that if you are not a first choice at least you're somebody's second choice. leland: there's a lot of discussion in terms of how this works with the undecideds, and how barack obama was able to pull it out. and the 2020 race is a mess, uncertainty verging on anxiety and panic, and the iowans feel as they seek to have a nominee that could beat the president. is there a divide between who they like and who they think could beat him versus president

trump? >> and what's interesting the same monmont poll, the top four issues they had were health care, climate change, foreign affairs and last, and only four of them had double digits and at 10% was somebody who could beat donald trump so it's in the top four, but it's still well down the line at this point and really, you only have four of the top candidates that are polling above 15% at this point, that biden, sanders, warren and pete buttigieg. amy klobuchar is bringing up the back and she is ate the only one really that picked up a lot of momentum in addition with joe biden since it looks like against the battle between sanders and warren at this point. leland: we don't know whether it's the weather or whether just the connection from cedar rapids, but we're getting a little bit of breakup there on your shot. appreciate your expertise, as doug noted it's iowa caucus season and it's already snowing with wind chills near zero out

there as people campaign. we'll check back in with doug in the coming weeks. gillian. >> the inferno rages on in australia and mass sale destruction of homes and habitat leaving humans and animals dead and the lucky ones dehydrated and injured. the australia government is now lasering in on a containment strategy. we'll tell you what moves they're considering coming up next. it's tough to quit smoking cold turkey.

dangero dangerous. leland: more than 40,000 square miles have now been consumed by flames. firefighters are battling massive fires throughout the southern region of australia. at least 28 people have been killed, more than 2600 homes destroyed. the blazes are also taking a toll on the wildfire there. one estimate says more than a billion animals have been killed like many like this thirsty koala bear turning to humans as their last hope as they flee the flames. flames. >> russian president puth put today opposes the idea of an unlimited presidential term for them. a lot of russians aren't buying it. it's only days ago there was a fast track for constitution that allows him to stay in office

after his term ends. and analysts say he made the move to cement his power for many more years to come. >> amendments that were proposed yesterday didn't concern the fundamental basis of the constitution. we won't be different from any other countries who have already taken similar decisions. russia's prime minister immediately resigning after these were renounced by putin along with the entire russian duma cabinet. and they approved putting new prime minister, a career bureaucrat who claims and insists he's always veered away from politics. sounds to a lot of folks i've been talking to who, you know, have deep expertise in russian politics that putin is taking on the african model. you don't like the laws, we'll change the laws. you don't like the constitution. leland: for a guy who says he doesn't want to be president for life you could be mistaken for.

gillian: he's been in power for two decades already. leland: you think about two u.s. presidents, both president bush who said i looked in vladimir putin in the eyes when he saw him down in crawford, texas and president obama, both of whom thought they could get along with putin and somehow this new type of russian leader, both were completely either fooled or in some other way misled by putin. gillian: every new american president, republican, democrat, comes into office and launches a, quote, russia reset. they think they can change the situation. leland: wasn't it hillary clinton that had a reset button that wasn't a reset? >> she never became president. if you look at bush, clinton, both bushes, president obama, president trump think they can change the game on the ground there. leland: and putin is still there. and some say he's actually the richest man in the world when you look at the assets he controls there. we'll continue to watch the news out of russia. there's this on the streets of

converge with the other group making their way up from manhattan. they split in two and there are allegations that the group was anti-semitic and that it was too white. the two sides have tried to present a united front this election year and they say it's really important to get out and present a united states. one starts uptown and heads south and there are marches happening in d.c., chicago, denver, philadelphia, los angeles and allied groups marching in nigeria, germany, spain, india and belgium. women's marches are rallying for several causes including climate, immigration and reproductive rights. they took a pole from supporters and identified those causes as the most important for them. the turnout is expected to be lower than years past and filed a permit for protesters and this year it's a reminder of how important it is to vote in november. especially with middle east

tensions after we struck down iranian commander soleimani and sparked fears the country to approach a war. >> the message is unity. we want to unify the city and talk about our issues and making sure we get everything out to perpetuate the message. >> i think it's successful because it's by a woman and women, when we do something united we are very successful. >> and another thing that's different different-- >> seems that we have lost our connection to jacqui heinrich. there she is. leland: maybe cold, we're not sure. gillian: maybe the system froze. we'll bring her back after the break. leland: a little more on impeachment, too, we'll be back in a minute. ature. so, we met in the middle. ohhhhh! look who just woke up! you are so cute! but one thing we could both agree on was getting geico to help with homeowners insurance.

>> news star citizen of this week, but first, as lawmakers must file a trial brief for impeachment by 5:00 p.m. tonight. the white house responded an hour later at 6:00 p.m. the loan is to come. today from washington, is finally here. >> i was going to say, i bet you can not contain yourself. you will countdown the minutes until five and then expand. >> we are saying now as we head towards his trial on impeachment that senators are going to work

six days a week. that is something i have never heard of senators doing. it's a new experience for them. >> in about two minutes we will ask blackburn about this and she is exhausted. and she is working today with us. i'm julian turner on all of this coming out, the judiciary committee is releasing a new document that show atop a in-house intelligence committee, within regular contact and is contributing to virtual rudy giuliani. before we tell you have the right present is responding to all of this, we are bringing in of person who is tracking the line developments today on capitol hill. >> we're just just hours away from that 5:00 p.m. deadline. they will finally make their case against president trump in the trial. the white house will have an hour to respond. lastly the speaker of the house was keeping plate hours.

>> mitch mcconnell, you have tipped right up to the line. basically calling an american. >> thus night houston press release new documents claim they have more evidence that president between harness and so she did rudy giuliani and gary harvey, present to congressman. the leading defender of the president, this will show harvey working to arrange interviews that ukrainian officials have started lines. sen. ted cruz explains the next steps. >> their legal teams will stand up and present their case and make arguments. they will come forward whatever evidence they want in those arguments. and then we will move to questions from senators that we write down in the chief justice asked for us.

>> it is unclear if house democrats will call for witnesses and if they do republicans you can bet, are going to hear from hunter biden. jane. >> thank you for that. >> is a senate trial moves forward, the speaker the house and you just saw, burning her message, the president trump has been impeached quote forever. many insects with a question that the president and response. following the president's trip from palm beach. how involved is the president on a minute by minute basis today. >> we been watching to see tweets whether or not the president will make additional comments. so far we have not seen it. we know that his legal team is hard at work. those deadlines will be happening later on today. in the white house will have to respond to. what is interesting is on friday, the white house unveiled who will be representing the president that part of his legal

defense team. we want to show you who they say people are going to be. they include two people with close ties to the president including baloney in the president's lawyer, and can start named many people. investigated bill clinton. he will beyond the presence team as well. and former law professor. we are prepared for whatever happens in the senate. it just turns out to be a long drawn out process, with witnesses, we are ready. it is some version in between, and shorter and a couple of witnesses, we are ready. if it's absolutely dismissed which it should be, we are ready fo well. >> but what happens next really does depend on what senate leaders decide to do to fight whether or not witnesses should be able to testify. will continue in the president has said he may have invoked executive privilege if they want to go down that route if he wants to block people. they're still so many questions

of the year at this point. when we are talking about what is happening behind the scenes with his legal team, the president is expected to head out of the country monday. he is going to be going to switzerland an economic summit. we've been looking to see whether or not the schedule change. so far it appears that trip remains on schedule. >> we will await that. we'll see if the president tweets anything on that as he has back on his golf club. >> were in sight on impeachment trial is shaping. we will ring and republican kennedy senator. marsha blackburn. senator, thanks so much for being with us on this saturday. you said earlier this week, that the force democrat senators running for president in 2020, they need to accuse themselves from this upcoming trial. you say that they have an unparalleled oh parallel thing from saint this president removed from office.

>> correct, think about it. they were sworn in to take this oath of office and deliver impartial justice. geppetto on thursday. and where did they immediately had, to iowa where they are all campaigning this weekend. so i think they need to make a decision. are they going to do their day job or the going to stay with their extracurricular activities and continue running for president. we know this is coming to us. we are going to convene at 1:00 o'clock on tuesday. we will move forward with adopting out resolutions. in preparing to hear from the house and the president's team. >> senator if we are focusing on fairness here. and we're really only want senators or senate jurors who don't have invested personal political interest in the outcome of this trial, when god folks like tom cotton, senators

lindsey graham who in the past have had interest in serving in president trump's cabinet. she did accuse themselves to pretty. >> i think what we have to realize that that the democrats who are running for president are saint millions of dollars they are spending millions of dollars and hundreds of hours, and they are wanting to remove donald trump from office. they want to defeat him. and other members of the senate who may at some point in time, run for president. or 79 cabinet are not approaching it with that. and we have to realize two, anybody could serve on a grand jury. they have opinions. they have a point of view. but they are able to look at the facts in front of them and make a decision. i think that's the way the majority of the senate approaches this. it is not the way those who are running for president enter even this weekend, i'll campaigning

even in an iowa snowstorm. that is not going to be the way. >> a lot of americans would say they find the idea that any senator on either side of the aisle, any of the hundred city senators could be in some way politically impartial in this trial. and they say it's laughable. so for going to start eliminating democrats, do we need to be fair about who among your own colleagues are sort of hopelessly biased peer. >> we have to realize that every day, members of the senate, go to work and many of the things that we approach are done in a bipartisan manner. and work together on these issues. when it is expanding access to high-speed internet, whether it is the successful trade deal. when the president trump finish this week in the usmc eight that got 89 votes. in the u.s. senate and the china trade deals which have been

widely applauded. those tier one signings that took place. and therein agreement that went into effect on january 1st. that'll has wide bipartisan. there's a difference of opinion. baron mind the only bipartisanship in the house impeachment vote was a bipartisan vote against the impeachment of president trump. it was a partisan partyline vote for an impeachment. >> what you make of this new legal defense team the president has climbed up. eight folks, the kind of spanned the gamut in terms of how long they have been practicing and where in the nation they have been practicing, interesting that overnight, one was an asset by the white house in their own official rollout, is already trying to put distance between himself and the president here. he's missing he's only going to be part-time. he's not really part of this official all-star lineup.

that's on a great look for the defense team. >> what you have is a group that is a diverse wealth of experience and i really like that. the fact that they come from different disciplines and different backgrounds, i have always found that when building a team, as i was leading an organization that i wanted to see was within that team was a diversity of experience. and different levels of experience. different age ranges, so that you have that strength. that comes from that diversity. you see that in the president's team. i know they are going to serve him well. my goal is to be certain that we are fair in this process and that we have moved through this in an expedient manner and get back to the nation news business. >> sundar blackburn, thank you so much for your time. we look forward to seeing you in the air next week when the trial

gets underway. >> absolutely thank you. >> president trump to the bit of a victory lap this week even invented backup of the impeachment trial. you just heard from senator blackburn, two major cradles. >> we just made the largest radios in history. one was china and the other with mexico canada. [applause]. and was china, we will be taking into hundred and 50 billion a year and with mexico canada will be taking an hundreds of billions of dollars a year. >> markets also responded in the news, the dow closing above 29000 points on friday. nasdaq and s&p 500 also making games. the spring and former deputy assistant matt holt, professor as well with a resume a little bit too long to read on television. you can google it for yourself. there is a professor, you have been a trump skeptic if you will when it comes to trade. and other issues especially when it comes to u.s. and ca.

is it worth giving the president a big black. >> when he did with usmca, is pulled some of its provisions in the agreement into what was nafta, but now we have those professions only from mexico and canada and not from of the other nine countries. >> it seems hard to give them away and when we just ask a basic question. >> he doesn't really deserve it. he done a in the know martin and norma's amount of damage your relationship with canada and mexico. >> is such a bad deal. and why do some a democrats vote for it. >> usmca. the original net that was not ideal. a lot of democrats, the whole country supported it because they wanted to end the uncertainty in north american trade trump himself created when

constantly threatened to withdraw from that. this is a classic example of him creating problem than solving it. the improvement, there is a large number in an ca. most of them were by the obama administration. some forgotten by the nancy pelosi, most of the things from himself are looking for he didn't get. i can give you a long list of those if you want to hear about them printed. >> your criticism of the president is sort of. but if we look at where the markets are, who are typically agnostic in terms of political, they are more interested in the only color they really care about is green. they seem to really love the usmca deal. and they love the president's policies the past two months. are you saying only follow your advice it would be better. >> absolutely. the market was the end of the uncertainty created by trump's constant threat to full out nafta. the market loves it.

[inaudible conversation] >> by then measure sir, has the president threatened all trade wars with china and pulled out an app. the market to take. it did anything but. we have had record highs for the past three years. >> there are a lot of things driving market though. the tax cut, and other things that are driving the market. in eight years in which president obama took the country, i call it a cliff economically and he brought it back. then came the tax cut. a lot of things fuel the market. and generally, at the same time, trump's basically cut on how high the market would've gone with his trade war against china. and also with the stress to pull out of nafta and then later on, when a result those two fears,. [inaudible conversation] >> i am fascinated by this. the market almost doubled since the president took office right. so you saying we would've

tripled it if he did not threaten the world share trade with china. >> universally if we never had a trade war with china it would be higher than it is now. >> conceivably the thought would be go the president had to put some kind of redline down with china. the obama administration did a number of deals with china. and he was shaking the president's hand. >> is no question that china took on a large obligations with the united states when they joined the wto news and did not fulfill them. there's also no question about the engagement with obama and china, to slowly someone had to do something. no question about that. and i give trump credit for recognizing the many had to do something. but what trump did was to severely undermine the rating system. the system which we were the primary architects and agreements of which we would've primary authors. the agreements that have served our purposes for global stability and national security

and our economy. that was our way to to go about it. >> a lot of manufacturing jobs would be taking issues with some of the sauce. i appreciate it sir. >> former republican congressman of new york is now in 26 months behind bars. the judge issued his sentence yesterday. it begins in march. he's also been smashed with a $200,000 fine and is going to be on parole for a year after he finishes his present time. collins guilty of security fraud and lying and admitted using confidential information about drug trials to help out his son was trying to avoid 700,000 dollars in losses. his son is now said to be sentence himself. that was next week. >> going for that. meantime out of new york. new york's new belt reform law is facing a growing backlash. residents in the art of wearing that serial offenders will be back on the streets without even

posting a dollar invested. husband possible. >> under this new law, you could do four times in a week. you could get arrested and still back on the streets bentley trial. that's not just a hypothetical scenario. he was arrested january 844 heisey was allegedly involved in. robberies in south carolina but do team new york's belt reform law, he was released within a couple of days and then just four hours after he left police custody, he allegedly robbed another bank. following that arrest, the attorney said that criticizing the law saying it is mayday bad situation worse. no sound rational and criminal justice system requires them to be released to have such determination to commit serious crimes. other critics of tiffany harris, who allegedly sold his orthodox

jewish women three times in less than a week, and was released after being arrested each time. this morning on fox, a congressman piles on the criticism. >> sent is happening, it is happening multiple times. we are saying instead of the handcuffing of criminals, they are taking handcuffs off and they're essentially handcuffing lady justice. >> under the new law, 90 percent of those who are arrested in york are now released back onto the streets. supporters such as new york governor, are standing by the reform. they argued that cash mill disproportionately affects minorities and the poor. >> mail is predicated on wealth. so if you can have access to well, e-mail and if you don't have access to wealth, you can't get milk. this is still a work in progress and there are other changes that have to be made and again is literally three or four days legislature comes back next year and why to work on it.

there are consequences that we have to adjust for. >> is you were there, mounting pressure for changes to be made in the governor says he is now open to tweaking the law which is he described, is a work in progress. yet to think about that great work in progress. the main product b promises are also people are robbing makes could be behind bars. that list of offenses do not require bail. that is fascinating. a lot more and that on "fox news" .com. a lot more on the story to come. garrett thank you. >> said the virginia state supreme court is upholding the temporary ban on guns enrichments capital square. governor has caused man late on wednesday. is sent to continue through monday. when the city will host the major gun rights valley. incredible threats the rally would attract violence in the president trump pushing back weighing in on this decision with a tweet. your second amendment is under very serious attack in the great

houma virginia. that's what happens when you vote for democrats. it will take your guns away. republicans will win merging virginia in 2020. thank you. >> we will watch that including the rally on monday. meantime, mexico is wrapping up security. there are hundreds of migrants that are expected to attempt to enter guatemala. from guatemala to mexico. the national guard says they are standing by in mexico's government says that migrants trying to cross out registering will not be allowed to cross the border and they are seeking asylum. however that will still be allowed to apply. >> major headaches for americans that are out on the road and the air force cost america, a giant storm moves into the northeast. and across tracking it all as the oysters for us. anna. >> either jillian, this that big

i since no crippling air travel across the nation this weekend. you can see this video from kids' city missouri where plaintiffs get off of the slippery runway. we are told there were no injuries reported. but there's a little bit of a wait there on the tarmac. a winter storm is march across the great plains in the midwest. chicago o'hare international airport canceled just this morning 1185 flights. >> and asset storm travels across the northeast blizzard conditions are now expected to bring more heavy snow and i.c.e. across the east and more of what to expect this weekend. when he returned to the fox extreme center meteorologist adam has been tracking the storm all day today. and what is the latest. >> just now are beginning to see the leading edge of the system run up on new york city. so just very lightly begin to accumulate. back off toward the west and

spend: causing a problem now. on the backside of this up towards michigan and wisconsin a little while ago chicago. that is where there is still winds up to 40 and 50 miles per hour. some blowing snow on the ground is very heavy snow at times. this is farther south and as a rainmaker because the temperatures continue to be more. a huge area where we've got winter storm watches and warnings. we are in the mid atlantic avenue and to be a played in the back across the upper midwest. everything in the red there, that is a blizzard warning. the conditions get down below a part of a mile. the system is not going to be a slow mover. it keeps moving. you can pay attention to the timestamp appear in the quarter. afternoon, something is become more heavy across portions of new england. and as we get into the evening hours, 7:00 p.m., still heavy snow. but by the time get into early sunday morning, most of the system up and what you begin to notice us on the backside of the system, it is pulling in some really cold air and temperatures drop absolutely everywhere. you getting down into the 20s in the teens.

this continues for the end of the day and saturday and into early sunday morning where it is just bone chilling cold. i believe you this with this joint. the totals, new york city just an inch or two. if you get further upstate, maybe as much as five or 6 inches of snow. but for udc, probably just a dusting. >> when we woke up this morning was what looked to be an inch or two in dc. more than with god in this season so far. thank you for that. we appreciate it. >> supreme leader in iran for some choice words for president trump during friday's bearers printed on say he has to say next. -meg! there you are. did you take a picture of the cake

watch us on this one. my break. >> high, and these very tense times, some very tough talk. first of all coming from around supreme leader. the ayatollah, use the form of friday prayers to for public sermon into run and he hasn't done that and eight years and he said that too much out among other things he branded the u.s. clowns. arrogant and cowardly. too much overnight as you can imagine, president trump responded via a couple of tweets. one of them said the so-called supreme leader has not been so supreme leader lately and some nasty things to say. their economy is crashing and his people are suffering. he should be very careful with his words. meanwhile another climbdown from around them is saying, though send the black box voice recorders from the ukraine passenger plane shot down bus wait to ukraine for examination.

the official reports experts in canada france in the u.s., will look to the data if they have any difficulties, the goods the expertise. everyone had initially said they would hold onto those boxes. but it also took three days for them to complain about them actually shooting down the plane. finally, we are seeing some ukrainian immediate reports saying that the 11th ukrainian victims of the crash remains will be brought back to their home and there were a hundred and 796 on board and they were all killed. many of most of them, iranian citizens or iranian dual nationals. >> so many questions about how this will all play with the canadians as well. thank you greg. gillian. >> joining us now, will discuss the u.s. strategy for a run going forward.

we'll bring in a tv analyst and also by chance, a retired four-star general rated always great to have you with us. a lot of hate being made this weekend about news that in the aftermath of this kind of spat between the u.s. and iran over the last two weeks turned out to be after the strike on u.s. facilities, i think 11 americans soldiers were treated at local hospitals. is that something that changes in the calculus for you. >> strategically doesn't change anything. certainly for those 11 servicemen. we care about their health and hopefully they're able to get back to duty in iraq or someplace else in the world. that was an actual back down that we saw take place. president trump had achieved deterrence. kemeny actually did escalated the crisis and he hasn't had back down like that and his producers did in the 80s was

probably gun. the only two presidents who have ever confronted the iranian regime, i believe was a major turning point. in a new path where on going forward. it. >> president trump managed to de-escalate of the last two weeks. meaning this never erupted to some full-fledged military confrontation the way a lot of folks who were worried it would. however, a lot of folks still point out that the big threat, run remains. and that is their ability to develop a nuclear weapon. i took a look along the room, it turns on american nuclear scientists are predicting that they got about somewhere between seven and 11 months before they have a weapon. what you do with that. in terms of the military plans credit. >> for small the united states and israel could possibly mean military confrontation if they pursue a path like that. i don't believe that we in the past. the major turning point, here is the iranians have run out of options. they are confronting the president they did not expect

with to confront. and therefore is a magenta, they backed down. why did they backing down. the end escalated, they knew what president trump would indent them militarily. taking out the industrial base of all of the refineries and their strategic deterrence ballistic missiles in all of the cruise missiles at all and whatnot. and for the regime on the beginning of the end. they would force their collapse. it. >> they did say this past week though, that anomaly where the billing on the nuclear deal, but that are not linked to any of the tenets of the iran nuclear deal being they're pick up enrichment and pick up the pace. >> what happened here is that president trump has forced their hand and now the europeans are joining president trump. that's actually what is taking place. the uk french and germany, they will now join president trump in pursuing a nuclear deal. it i believe the path that

kemeny is actually on, is at some point, he is going to go back to the negotiating table because in their minds it did serve them well at one time, although he was a one person that said you can't trust the united states because they make changes on this. i think that is the path we are on. the equation is that they are looking very much at body politic an american. his talk going to be reelected and operated they perceive that he is not going to be reelected if he perceives that, that gives them a total different option in terms of time. and then they would do one thing. if they believe he will get reelected, president trump will get elected, then they will possibly start negotiations before the election. >> how quickly does he want to get or whether he sits down at the negotiation table or not, how soon does he want to have the u.s. and abroad talking again about some kind of nuclear

deal. it. >> i suspect, i have no inside information here. i'm just using my and six. we have been working with the swiss and talking to the iranians before the soleimani attack and after the somali attack and since the airline came down, and i believe that we probably laid out for them what we think is a general framework of negotiations. and he want to do that secretly and covertly, then be fine with the united states to expose some of the regime has an humiliating and embarrassed by it. so i think eventually were going beyond that. i don't believe that everybody is convinced that they want to lead to a nuclear arms race in the u.s. >> we to leave it there. season printed. >> we learn that there is a statement by the queen about. megan is part of the royal

family saying that after months of conversation in a recent discussion, i am pleased that together we have had a constructive and supportive way forward for my grandson and his family. this is a statement from the queen. harry and megan and archie will always be much beloved members of my family. i recognize the challenges they have experience as a result of the intense scrutiny over the past two years and support their wish for a more independent life. continuing from the queen speaking about. megan essentially leaving the royal family, i want to thank you for all the dedication and work dedicated work across the country to commonwealth pentagon and am so proud of how we can consequently become part of the family. i hope that the agreement allows them to start a happy and successful life. that is from the queen. now comes the statement from buckingham palace. the duke and duchess of sussex meeting. megan, are grateful to her majesty the royal family for

their ongoing support as they embark on the next chapter of their lives. they agreed to this arrangement date our understanding that they have to step back from duties. we will no longer receive public funds for royal duties. interesting to note julian, as a keen observer of the story that you are, the queens statement begins with the words, following many months of conversation. seems as though this is been in the work for a lot longer than we were led to believe initially. >> if you follow the british press, harry is been cut in himself off. he's been getting this break and separating himself with the press, gravitate the last two years. and shortly, for the royal wedding began. he started speaking publicly about the way he felt the british fresh press was mistreating him and mistreating megan, the way they were mistreating the royal family undertones of racism. sexism and anti- americanism.

even in some of what he was reading everyday about his wife. he was already saying that i had enough. megan launching a suit last year against one of these papers. if these have been bubbling up. it. >> there was a very different relationship between harry and megan need to be british people regarding other members etc. this is very interesting. this is a keen observer of british politics just texted me, looks like it is a hard accent from that statement. >> people mincing out for weeks that if they are going to do this, they're going to split. it needs to be a clean break can't be 1 foot in the door. they either got to be all in or all out it was like a came to that understanding that they decided that were just going to do a clean break. he said that is because obviously, no matter what financial considerations they made megan and harry would as

partial members of the royal family be continue to be a big considerable option. >> what is missing from this statement essentially and you talk about the finances which is evidently been a big part of this negotiation. and is that they do get a large part of the funding from the public and being part of the public family. this now opens up mary and harry and megan to cash and printed. >> it doesn't it doesn't right. people are now saying essentially they are gearing up to get themselves off from the royal grants. that's what sustained and supported by the british taxpayer. this supports most members of the senior members of the royal family. their state there are no longer going to take money from that. harris. it's a tremendous amount of money from his father. where does that come from. prince charles hasn't made money a lot of money on his own.

some people are rightly questioning this. they see they are cut in themselves off from the royal fresh trade with are not really. >> now they're opened up to receive all sourcing deals. with every book deals and endorsement deals, new acting deals. >> are the pet deal. >> there open to other deals now but they were not me for. this is breaking now 630 uk time, so about 13 minutes ago, in the uk, one can only imagine what the british papers will look like tomorrow. this is going to be some awesome headlights. one is saying that if they are duke and duchess of sussex anymore, what will they be called now. these are papers from earlier in the past couple of weeks. and as this exit discussion was beginning. >> let's write down here.

we're going to be joined by "fox news" gal from london. she's going to sit with us right after the break. we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it - with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition... for strength and energy! whoo-hoo! great-tasting ensure. with nine grams of protein and twenty-seven vitamins and minerals. ensure, for strength and energy. i learned about myuse grandfather's life. on ancestry and it was a remarkable

and "fox news" alert now in what some are calling a hard exit. essentially, harry and megan are out. >> there are 100 percent out. >> are done. >> they are done and they are going to canada. and that's it. my question is, how long will they be stuck in canada. so they clearly don't want to live in the uk anymore. they want to live in the u.s. but not while donald trump of this is the president so they're going to be stuck for some time. >> all the time to decide to be stuck in canada, winter is not exactly were you just move there. >> there were pictures of megan all bundled up yesterday people

already saying that she made this transition away from bring the process. >> the statement from the queen came out at about 630 local time in london saturday night. were monitoring developments there with kate. you can imagine the headlines tomorrow morning. >> and did you can printed what is interesting in the is that it gives the british public a lot of what they were asking for. i think the concern was that away prints. megan markle will going to have a little bit of their cake and eating it but this makes it very clear in the statement from the queen and from her king news palace, with the conditions are in one of those crucial conditions and assess here", and this arrangement, they understand they are required to step back from royalty including official military apartments. they will no longer receive public funds for royalty.

that is very important. because i think that was for the public concerns. that some help with the duke and duchess would continue to receive public money while using their lives as they please in canada. there is another important part of the statement regarding expenditure. the duke and duchess of sussex captured the wish to repay the expenditure to refurbishment and this is the property and was given to them by the claim. as they renovated it. "high cost. very high cost. and that has a lot of public criticisms. in the third, and by no means, they will no longer have those royal. they will no longer be called the duke and duchess of sussex. >> going to see exactly what the be called. already there are some 2020 names on twitter.

suggestions who don't share here but you can look them up for yourselves. it will come up with a little bit more analysis what buckingham palace is that coming to save the money they aren't repaying and back on the other side.

support worldwide when it comes to pushing back against the british media. i think a lot of people look at this and say, he endured this horrible tragedy. he believes it was the fault of the media. he should be able to do whatever he wants. >> the british media to get a word in tomorrow morning morning will have those headlines tomorrow. also on monday they were still be a lot of talk about this. also impeachment on the united states. bill will debut. he reports at 3:00 p.m. eastern on monday. sandra smith and henry at the anchor desk at 9:00 a.m. eastern. as one of the classes divides all time. talking about how important being friend is honest desk and the steps in being with the was all. ♪ ♪
