i think what's changed is the involvement is jeffrey berman. this is a name a lot of people don't know. he is the u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. hers are the one who had these two side kicks arrested and launched an investigation of rudy giuliani. he was not stopped from doing that by his boss bill barr, which suggests he recognizes he has jeopardy too. if he were to intervene, he would have a problem. so berman now has free reign. what that means is we now have a parallel investigation. for the impeachment investigation. this whole matter is now the subject of a criminal investigation. >> translation, you underscore an important point. a lot of times people define this by is there a special counsel or not? a special counsel has the same powers as a u.s. attorney. you're saying mr. berman is here so in some ways you're saying this is as intense or more so than mueller. >> it is very similar to mueller except that he has a permanent staff of crack investigators. this is the most prestigious u.s. attorney's office in the cou

today is unclear whether charles berman will make an appearance. he had been called to testify today. however he has submitted basically a challenge to that in court and the white house as specifically requested that he not comply with the request so we will wait and see. later this week there are schedule testimonies from a number of national security council's professionals as well as the dod to discuss the ukrainian aid and whether that was confirmed or maybe straight from previous testimony from fiona hill and others. >> and alex wade, is the white house taking the approach in terms of people who testify before the committee, are they taking an individual approach in terms of allowing administration officials to testify before the committee or have a made a blanket statement that no administration can testify? >> trump has made a blanket statement no administration officials to testify but a lot had shown up anyway. the white house said personal letters to some officials in the state department, personal letters to officials warning them not to
