out in time for you to make a e complete and informed judgment as to the guilt or innocence of the president. reporter: today president trump denied the rort -- saying i never instructed john bolton to set up a meeting with giuliani elensky.with president >> here you have the president saying john bolton is not let's find out. let's put john bolton under th. let's find out who's telling the truth. reporter: schumer argued a trial without witnesses will lead to a trial without meaning. >> ify republican colleagues refuse to even consider witnesses and documents in this trial, this country is headed towards the greatest cover-up since water gavet. >> but two key republican senators weren't convinced and voted against new witnesses. dries criticized the speed of

democrats' case and said there n will beo fair trial in the senate. i don't believe the continuation of in process will admit anything. it's sad fordme to that as an institution, the congress has famed. late last night lamar alexander of tennessee said there'so ed to go on with something that's already been proven. he said it was inappropriate for a president to ask a foreign ader to investigate his political opponent and to withhold t united states' aid to encourage that investigation. democrats seelsed ohat criticism. >> senate alexander said out loud that i think most senate reference bteieve in pri that yes, the president did withhold military assistance to tripe to get ukraine to help him in his elections. reporter: h democrats promised to take only one week for new

witnesses. the president's lawyers called that unrealistic and warned they would call all 17 witnesses that were in their investigati. >> just a weeknd get it done. no way that would b proper. reporter: at the heart of it is the presidential poifls before you cranial. for five years ukraine ran soldiers had used american weapons in training to confront rushend bac soldiers. 14,000 ukrainians have dialed. today in the capital of ukraine, poeo visitted a memorial for those killed. and he and zelensky tried to show a united front. >>his is a new step iur relationship. a new sentiment and attitude. we've had numerous meeting and i don't think they've beened influeut the impeachment

i'm nick schifrin. udy: weur turn to lisa desjardins and yamiche alcindor. lisa, withol in now 51 against witnesses and 49 for, tell us about those swing senators we were watching and their decisn to swinggainst this. what went into their thinking? >> in the end, the two decisive volts for the president were those of senators lisa murkowski and lamar alexander and if you dig deeper into the statement, nick posted some good pamplets those. you'll see that they had very serious problems with the house process. lisa murkowski wrote -- the whouls house chose to sends articles of impeachment that are rushed and flawe it has also been colleen clear that some of my colagues intend to further politicize this congress and drive the supreme court into the fray while taxicabbing the chief justice. hat seems to be a reference of senator warren who asked a question of the two participants involved t that chief justice

was apt the heart of. her question was if chief justice himself was compromise and would whether the confidence the supreme court was undermined by him presiding inr this. that rubbed lisa murkowski so much that she talked about it. on the topic ofipartisanship, same with alexander. he wrote, if the shallow, wholly part of impeachment were to rip this would country apart. . this is a sign that the white house is pounding argumen that the house is moving in a partisan way and it s a rebuke of adam schf, who apparently was not able to defend themselves -- himself with these two senators. udy: one of the witnesses the hear from was the former national security advisor to the president johnolton. the "new york times" reporting today new information from this ohbook that bolton has written. what about that and what is the white house sayi? about reporter: the white house is celebrating the fact that republicans were able to block

witnesses, new witnesses from being called to testify as part of the senate impeachment trial. president trump has been denying this drip, drip, dripf new information coming out of this month you script wntten by j bolton. the white hse has put out statements from both the vice president as well as nick mulvany and they've been saying wh bolton is wry -- writing about is not true. howehor, the white is very happy that john bolton won't be testifying at the senate and as a result they're celebrating the fact that noother people in the white house, including mulvany will be subjects to be asked about b whethton wrote about was true. the white house in some ways el ike they're sell bait -- brating the fact the president --elebrating the fact the president has been acquitted. that hasn't happened yet. but rudy giuliani says his

acriticism will prove democrats made it a partisan process. udy: i know you've been talking to the president's legal team. where do they see this going in the next few days? >> things a very, very fluid at this hour. thpresident's team as well as the white house legal team is stressing that they want the president to be acquitted as soon as possible but the president could be acquitted as late as wednesday or as early as tonight. it's not really clear. what is clear is the quhowls is pushing for an accelerated calendar. they want the perspecve to be able to be able to say at the state of the uon, i was acquittaled. even on a busy day lik today the white house is stressing that the president isn't focused only only impeachment. just today the perspectivesi add countries to the travel ban and put new immigration restrictions on that, including the largest country in africa, nigeria. they're saying the president is

focused on a signature whichou were issue, immigration and they're saying he's not waiting acquittaled to go other things. senate?t about in the what is the thinking there about how this wraps up? >> right now it's completely unclear. ource texted me bakayos. both parties right now arene ing separately in their luncheon and dinner rooms trying to figure out the way fward. it does not look like senator mcconnell has1 votes for any one path forward among his republicans o only,r it's also possible that he ufpbleses that democrats can just keep this process going as long as they t was becau motion to acquittal the president on impeachment,an democrats amend that motion and propose as many amendments as they lik for as long as they like. senator schumer'sffice said they feel like they have a lot of leverage because of that. right now it doesn't look like the two sides are really talking withach other.

the democrats are seeing if mcconnell can get 51 votes for any one way forward and this is move this quickly and democrats wants the vote after the state of the yoifpble. ught now it's completelp in the airplane. kind of a friday night iffhanger. judy: i know the both of you will continue to watch in very closely. we'll be reporting on it here and online as soons we know anything. thank you both. and one other note a key figure in the impeachment story marie yovanovitch has retired from the state department . shdwas for out as u.s. ambassador to ukraine by the ear.e house last our special live coverage of the impeachment is continuing on air an on line tonight. check your local pbs station or join us online at pbs.org/newshour or on our youtube pages.

still to ce, the trump administraon expands the reach of its controversial travel ban. on the ground in io where caucus goers are gearing up to make a pivotal choice. david brooks and rutharcus break down the latest from the senate impeachment trial. plus, remembering jim lehrer. memories of our friend and co-founder as we say goodbye. announcer: this is the "pbs newshour," from weta news studios in washington and in the west from the walter cronkite school of journalm atzona state university. judy: as we reported, the trump administration announced it will expand the travel ban to six more countries. the latest iteration will suspend immigrant advise east from knee smbreera, myanmar, riltrilt and kyrgyzstan and it

woule bar peo from sudan and tanzania from the u.s. the seniors tay visa program, which provides green cards to immigrants. >> we're joined by the president and executivere or of muslim advocates. the group has first timed 10 lalmts against previous iterations of the travel ban and ishe driving force behin the no-ban act in congress. that act would rescrind thend travel ban allow more rules in the future.lc ome and thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> let's looat the maps. this is the existing travel ban in place right now. ve those nations. currently citizens from there are affected. iran, libya, somalia, syria, yemen. venezuela swalea and north korea. this is the new updated map ifa

when the new travel bans go into effect at the end of february if. they say the administratio this is about security. that when these counies immediate -- meet a higher standard of vetting and i.d. requirement, the administration will reassess. what do you say about tt? >> i say that is like putting lipstick on a pig. unfortunately this is really about bigotry. the president made clear when he was run fg president that he wanted a total and cleat shutdown of muslims entering the country. m e rece years he's also spoken disdainfullycabout af immigrants, even saying to america, would not want to return to their humiditiese' from what seeing today, we can dispense that this is a travel ban. what today's ban clearly is on immigrants, basically parents who wants to be reunitedith their chin. a fiance wanting to be reunited

with a spouse who might be married to a green cardholder, an american citizen. the ban today does not ban visitsors. the president is saying, come, we want your money and labor. visit here. we want your resource but don't make america your home. >> flfs only a smallf portion o visas far affected. mmigrant visas, people who wants to immigrant here and stay. i think everyone out there remembers what happeneafter that first travel ban was enacted days after president trumpook office. there was chaos and confusion at the airports and it prompted protests across the country. people showing up to say we don't want this in place and then the trump administration pulled it, reassessed, rked through measurement m iterations and that's now been held up by the -- by the supreme court. they will say this is legal, they have the right to do this in the name ofational security.

hi what policy is actually doing is ripping families waurment apart. we see this through the eyes of our community. where literally tense ofes th of americans are hurting today because they're not being allowed to be reunited with their family members and loved ones. it's not rooted in any kind of security justice at all. we've not yet seen the administration kindif of ju or explain exactly how banning babi and grands motusrs makes safer. a blanket ban doesn't make us safer at all a if in truly was a national security jusfication, a concern about identity management and passport controls then why would you say it's ok for tourists to come, >> tourism visas go through a lower vettin standard. >> right, it seems it's actually

anti-into you active. it doesn't make stens and this iseally aboutigotry and the president's ultimate agenda is a white -- agendaoff. >> the original ban did include one country, chad. when it met theirar sta, it was removed and it also says people can apply for waivers. what's the impact and do nose waivers get processed? >> we've found that t waiver process is a sham. family members are supposed to get an exception but in reality, it's not clear how you even apply for a waiver. ni and nose quest waivers are being reviewed andapproved in an extremely slow mann. there have been people waiting literally three years. that is way too long and now by countries, we're inflicting harm

on tense of thousands more americans. and we believe according to census data in the united states today based on now the 13 countries on the banned list, that involves at least a million ericans. a million americans had their ace of birth in these 13 countries and they obviously have family memberers so this is inflicting harm on people and this isot about national security at all. >> president and executive director of the muslim group. thanks for being with usoday. >> thank you. ♪ judy: and now we turn to iowa, just flee days out frommonday's first in the natn presidential caucuses. 1 there are sti democrats remaining. polls show many likely democratic caucus g are

still undecided and as national correspondints instead of ead of reports, in a statement that's predominantly white, candidates in this tight race are trying to tap into the growing minory population. >> can i look for you to spread if hope that is needed? >> this is our time tream big. >> iowa started the revolution. in iowa let's complete the revolution! the character of the nation is on the ballot. reporter: in this crded democratic field, no candidate has broken away from the pack and a lot of iowans we spoke to haven't made up their mind. >> i'm uncided annow that it's coming down to the wire, i would like someo to purr suede me to have a clear kurt decision. >>ut there's no lack of enthusiasm here. >> this is the first time i'm going to participate so i'm looking forward to it. matter but our volts matter so --

enth. >> henderson says the nely 1,700 precincts are preparing far record turnout. driven partly by new efforts to engage iowans like the once at that -- onenings at this mock caucus that might not normally turn out. that includes a rising number of non-white numbers. the of black, latino and asian residents havmultiplile plied in the last 10 years. >> do you think iowad shove as much leverage as it has in choosing the democrac nominee? hat's a difficulties one to ask an kyrie wan. i would say it -- iowan. i would sayt seems a little old to me. i enjoy itcht but in reality perhaps we aren't as representative as some other areas of the kiffin. >> how many have participated in caucuses before? reporter: perez a u.s. citizen

who imgrated froms hondu nearly 40 years ago is trying to engage potential caucusgoers new to the process. >> i want the country that adopte smemma and that i've seen be welcoming to me in many ys that changed duamatically ng the 2016 election and a lot of the conversation changed. i don't want to feel insulted or attacked. reporter:, who is backing massachusetts setor elizabeth warren believes keablets cano i longore minority voters here. and these campaigns anow in tight race every vote counts, whether it's voluntrs making calls at warren's ia city headquarters -- she's willi tht for showg people. >> or organizing san vassars at a predominantly black neighborhoodike at this field

so bodydon't care -- who can beat donald trump. reporter: the problem is no one really nose who that is. caucus goers here in iowa still seem scared to commitmen they're looking yorled in -- beyond this sintatement t to figure out who can win in november. judy? dy: thank you. and that brings us to the analysis of david brooks and washington post" column analyst ruth marcus. hello to bothf you. . let's start by talking about the ws of the evening. it was just about 6:00 eastern time that the senate did take a society -- vote on witnessesmo evidence and it went down. 51 against to 49 for. how do you sum up what's been happening in this trial? the arguments that both sides have>> made? y view of the whole affair hasn't changed since we read that first transcript of that

first call lo these many months ago, which is he certainly did it and we've had evi nce after evidence that yes, he certainly did it and whether john bolton writes i his book or not, he would be witness number 937 that it certainly happened and my reaction all the way along has been that this probay rits removal and i have to say glad he'sot being removed on wednesday. if they took a vote and removed the presidt with the country accomplishment -- split, with no public mindsn having bade up. with, if anything, trump rising in approval a little, i think it would be a cataclysm for the country and 43% of the country would feel it would be a cpe des tay. judy: how do you look at this? >> a couple of things.hi one is vote on witnesses. i've seen, we've all seen a lot of dispirlting volts in the

united states senate. this is one of the most appalling to me because i have some of the same reservations, though not quite to the extent that david has about the gravity of removing a president from office,specially with a country split like this andpe ally with a country facing election in november. ough i would, in fact, volt to convict him. but at the very l least,et's get the witnesses out there. whether we have known it fm the start, he has denied it in the start. there's been dispute including from his own lawyers about whether or not this happened and it's a bizarre vacation because they're engaging in a cover-up that they know is going to be exsed if not weeks and day because more information is coming out. the bolton book is coming out so at least have witnesses. >> what would we learn? i could seef you don'tope if a crime occur canned, if a

burglary occurred so we know the burglary occurred. do we expec the witnesses to change any minds? would change. publican minds do we expect them to give us a very different picture of what happened? i document that. your own newspaper reported today that john bolton tells us that the conversations, including directly with the out to zelensky, the president u aine, something we had not known before. bolton declined to it. this is not about one perfect wh conversationh was not perfect. commfs a very disturbing conversation on its own. we've read that terrorist as the president has asked us to do. this is part of a long-term effo on part the president to use his power as president to damage a politicalt. oppon that is as serious as it gets and as we learn more details about that, maybe minds don't know but at least we'll

what we're dealing with. >> i do think since the first transcript appeared, w learned over the course of all these "tmz" it wasn't just one call, it was an extended campan an i guess we have one more chament they were that with bolton. to me, it's diminishing rurges. >> ihink that argumentbout diminishing returns, david. , and i'm saying this with al the affection itch for you is a really old argument for a urnalist to make. we want to get to the facts and we should make decisions based on the facts. >> go back to my fallback position, it wouldn't hurt anything to have bolton testify. i'm just trying to annoy ruth. udy: lamar alexander said it was not right what the president did but he shouldn't be f removedm

office. tackle that. >> this is not merely a political trial, and you ever to take into can, the larger context. it would make me very nervous if we had persuaded nobody within the american public and maybe america is not persuadeable by evidence and facts anymore. if -- in that case, we have a problem. but if the people saying he shld bempeopled or removed haven't changed a single mind and h wee a society where everything is degitimized, i ink it would matchly delegitimize washington and maybe at's the fault of the voters and trump supporters but it's a repea y lamar alexander used a ver milk toast adjective to scribe the president'behavior, he said it was inappropriate. and i agree, if you any his w

behavis merely stem to take to oust a dule big elected president. but it was the not just inappropriate. this was at the heart of what the framers considered to be a impeachable defense. the reason we know that is thatr jonathany, who was the hepublican's witness said in the house tat if proven this would be an impeachable offense. he didn't say muffs convict and remove but it'ser veryus. judy: where does it leave u they haven't had the final volt. they're now saying the middle of next week but david, whe does it leave the government in this country that we've been through this? >> it's been a wrenching periods and it's been a wrenching periods for the republican party who really did not, as the republican party did i watergate, they stemmed back from their partisan affiliation and seemed to be fair-minded

jurors. i thought frankly they did better than i expected them to. my expectations were fox news level. so i think theyid actually some wrestling but w did not have wwhat yld call a fair even explanation of what they were secretlyin tng. you just happened the sense of massive bad faith, which is noe three old in the republicans' minds, where they're thinking one thing inside and mouthsing a bun of republican slogans on the ousmed. >> one thing to watch isheer the republicans back lamar t exander republicans and least break with the president bout whether his conduct w perfect or whether they will buy into a different argument, w is that it just doesn't rise to the level. i'm sorry, whether it will stay with the perfect or say it doesn't rise to the le judy: we're watching in the days to come and waiting to find out

right now when this piece of it is going to be resolv. well heard the instead of instead of report. it sounds like -- stephanie s report. we don't know. what's your sense of iowa and what it's going to say? >> i would say in the last week or 10 days it makes sense to pay atntion to the vectors, which way things are moving and things areg retty clearly mov a sangedsers direction. he clearly has some surge going on biden isn't doing terribly but interesting to me is warren is falling a but not as mu sanders is surging. so it's not just he's tanging volts from her. he's taking voltm fmebody else and the other surge worth mentionings amy klobuchar, who's also surging and she's within a shot of taking a rren, and even buttigieg now.

these thing tend to g further than you think but i take a a sandersnd klobuchar not m winning buing up. i would take that seriously. >> to agree with f david a change, that is ratified andby underscorehe fact that they've definitively made up their nds. i think that that sanders is a serious threat to win both in iowa and in new hampire and that happened be -- and this is not just the sort of usualu argument at -- in the democratic party. this is a struggle for the heart and soul party. it's an argument between young and old, it'sn guments between left and center/moderate and it's much more than last time around, which was the first chapter of this between hillary clinton and bernie sanders. this is really a surginging of the democratic party that is way left.

the latest nbc/"wall street journal" poll had just 12% of sanders voters supporting capitalism. having a positive view of capitalism. that's a really big deal. 60% had a positive view of socialism. judy: what is it going to as we heard in stephanie's report, this is a state thatis a big majority caucasian white. sawhat does it about the democratic party and where in race go? >> i dn't think that kamela harris' or cory booker's chances were killed by the fact that iowa is largely kwlimet. i think iowa is still a fair place to begin because they take it so seriously. they're not too great on the republan side but on the reasonable side they've done a if your candidate loses, for warren and all the others, theom
