sick and has killed two. the cdc is sending 100 health officials to assist at san francisco international airport, l.a.x. and new york's jfk where this flight from the outbreak city of wuhan arrived overnight. experts say this new type of virus called the coronavirus typically causes symptoms of the common cold but can lead to pneumonia. federal health officials will take temperatures and ask passengers if they have any symptoms. they're expecting to screen about 5,000 passengers at these three airports for the next few weeks. >> they're really going to be diverted into a separate area from everyone else so we're not expecting this to affect the over >> reporter: many cases tracked back to this food market in wuhan. coronaviruses are often found in animals. countries like thailand and japan screening incoming airline passengers as well as a precaution. >> we have done the best we can. we have alerted people to take

precaution when they travel from china or to china. >> reporter: the cdc is taking that extra precaution here. they've even set up special quarantine areas here at the airport. whit. >> all right, stephanie, our thanks to you. let's bring in dr. jennifer ashton. dr. ashton. >> good morning, whit. >> there seems to be a lot of unknowns with this virus. what is the most important thing for people to know? >> well, let's start with what we know and what we don't know. this coronavirus is a novel or new strain. ge c coratcold-like symptoms. what we don't know, if it could change.de or moderate cold-like symptoms. what we don't know, if it could chang or moderate cold-like symptoms. what we don't know, if it could change. we don't know the incubation period. we don't know how contagious this is in humans so right now a lot to be discovered about this. >> when people hear about airport screenings it's very alarming to hear that sort of

thing especially if you're traveling. why is the cdc taking this important step? >> well, i think this is not just for optics. it's not just for show. there is no reason to panic here but i think that in speaking to some of the country's top public health officialsnd iastlast, they made it clear to me that this is an evolving and dynamic situation. the thought that the risk to the overall u.s. population at this time is low but history is important. this comes from the same family as the sars and mers virus and that's why people are taking it seriously. >> all right, dr. ashton, thank you very much. president trump's impeachment trial beginning in earnest on tuesday in the united states senate. overnight the white house announcing who will be on the president's defense team. abc's david wright is in florida where the president is waking up this morning. david, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. >> reporter: good morning, dan. ken starr is back.

not as a special prosecutor but as one of president trump's defense lawyers. the president is spending a few days in florida ahead of next week's impeachment trial. house managers are working through the weekend preparing their case. overnight from the house judiciary committee, a document dump. material obtained from former rudy giuliani associate lev parnas, now part of the official impeachment record. no smoking guns, it would seem but the documents do include more text messages by connecticut congressional candidate robert hyde claiming he was stalking former u.s. ambassador marie yovanovitch months before she was recalled. >> did you feel threatened? >> i did. >> reporter: parnas told msnbc he didn't take hyde seriously. >> he's a weird character. i don't believe -- he was either drunk or he's -- was trying to make himself bigger than he was. >> reporter: hyde denies he ever visited ukraine much less threatened the u.s. ambassador

saying he sent those texts after a few drinks. the state department and the ukrainian government are now investigating. meanwhile, trump has beefed up his legal team ahead of next week's impeachment trial adding ken starr, the former special prosecutor whose investigation of president clinton's interactions with monica lewinsky triggered bill clinton's impeachment. and former harvard law professor alan dershowitz. >> they would be abusing their power if they impeach president trump. >> reporter: both have been vocal defenders of the president on fox news but dershowitz says his role in the case will be limited. >> i'm not a full-fledged member of his legal team in the sense that i have a limited role. i will appear one day in the senate. >> reporter: as for ken starr trump has not always had kind things to say. >> i think ken starr is a lunatic. i really think that ken starr is a disaster. >> reporter: in all a total of >> reporter: in all a total of eight lawyers will be there representing the president.

now, today the house managers face a 5:00 p.m. deadline to brief summarizing their case. the president's lawyers will file a response monday. on tuesday the trial is expected to begin in earnest. dan. >> all right, david wright in florida, thank you. so much to talk about, so let's bring in matthew dowd on set with us this morning. great to see you, sir. >> you too, sir. >> is the outcome of this trial predetermined? >> well, you know, in this disruptive time it's hard to say anything is predetermined in what's going on. we thought hillary clinton was predetermined to be president of the news 2016 and thought the new england patriots and baltimore ravens would be playing -- >> why do you make it personal? >> nobody knew the tennessee titans would play tomorrow. i think the likelihood is that 20 republicans aren't going to go against the president but i think as we've seen over the last 72 hours with all this information that's come out with parnas and other memos and we'll see more of this, i'm sure, is it's hard to say for sure what will happen.

what we all want to do, watch the process, see what unfolds and ultimately see if they have witnesses at the trial in the senate. >> what are the big risks for the democrats going forward here? >> to overplay their hand. i think the biggest risk is democrats overplay their hand. >> some would say they already have. >> as of right now the public wants this trial to take place, but i think if the democrats overplay this and make it way there's risks on both sides. everybody is walking across the pond that's thin and anybody could fall through but i think the democrats have to worry about overplaying their hand. >> given that the odds are reasonably low that he'll be convicted and removed? >> the big risk for president trump and the republicans, especially republicans is if they vote to find the president innocent and don't convict him, if more information comes out after that happens, if more documents come out, more witnesses come forward, that puts them in a bad bind especially if they haven't asked

for witnesses and voted for witnesses in the united states senate. >> if they're seen to have shut down sources of new information or witnesses and then information comes out subsequently. >> that's problematic because the majority of the country wants witnesses in the senate to come forward. >> matthew dowd, always great to see you. thank you very much. >> happy birthday, a.a. milne's birthday "winnie the pooh." what character are you? >> eeyore. >> is he tigger. >> he is. >> tops are made out of rubber, bottoms are made out of springs. >> and kanga. >> thanks for putting some levity into this. we'll have live coverage of the impeachment trial tuesday at 1:00 p.m. eastern time. >> all right, turning to other news, new arrest investigators are tied to what authorities describe as a neo-nazi group. the arrest announced before the
