when is good to call you? and ambassador sondland makes clear the urgency texting important, do you have five minutes? now, ambassador volker made clear to mr. yermak that the statement needed the two key items mr. giuliani required for the president. here's ambassador volker's testimony to that effect. >> hi andrey, good talking, following insert text at the end for the two key items, we will work on official request. >> and you'll see the highlighted part of the next text. the other is identical to the previous one and adds including these involving the burisma and 2016 elections, is that right? >> that is correct. >> and that is what mr. giuliani insisted on adding to the statement. >> that is what he said would be necessary for that to be credible. >> the ewe yukrainians did not that statement? >> that's correct. >> and he did not get the white house meeting. >> not yet. >> president zelensky is still waiting for that oval office meeting. ronald reagan, in a speech that he delivered in 1987 at the foot of

there are no close calls. thees evidence shows president trump unlawfully withheld military assistance appropriated by congress to aid our allies to extort the government into help with reelection and then tried to cover it up when he got caught. this is a story about government wide effort to draw officials and executive branch agencies in the office of the president. this effort threatens the security of ukraine in the military struggle with russia to compromise their own national security interests because the president cares only about the personal political interest. spring 2019 the people of ukraine elected a new leader who campaigned on a platform of rooting out corruption. his plight is welcomed by the united states and its allies. also threatening the work of the chief aid to ukraine rudy giuliani. as this was taking power he was already engaged in efforts to convince ukrainian officials to announce to sham investigations. the first was former vice president joe biden. second designed to undermine the

by the way, don't call me again. i'll call you when i have done what i asked.his is in character what the president was trying to communicate. it's fake. that's not the real call. that's not the evidence here. that's not the transcript esther cipollone just referenced. we can shrug it off and say we were making flight or a joke but that was a hearing in the united states house of representatives discussing the removal of the president of the united states. there very things few things that can be grave and as serious. let's stick with the evidence in this case. the most important piece of evidence we have in the case, and before you, is the one we began with nearly four months ago. the actual transcript of the july 25, 2019 telephone call be between president trump and president zelensky. the real transcript. if that were the only evidence we had, it would be enough to show the democrats the entire theory is completely unfounded. the transcript is far from the only evidence demonstrating that the president did nothing wrong. once you sweep away all of the innue

on the july 25th call, mr. trump could have endeavored to strengthen the relationship with this new ukrainian leader. instead, president trump focused on securing a personal favor. he wanted ukraine to conduct phony investigations designed to enhance his political standing and solicit foreign interference in the 2020 election. on a july 25th call, president trump maligned a highly respected american ambassador known as an anti-corruption crusader. at the same time, he praised a corrupt former ukrainian prosecutor, and on multiple occasions, president trump directed ukraine's new leader to speak with his personal lawyer, rudolph giuliani, on an official call. mr. giuliani is not a member of the trump administration. for these and other reasons. the july 25th call warrants our close scrutiny. it presents significant and shocking evidence of president trump's corrupt intent. the call lays bare the president's willingness to do whatever it takes to get what he wants, even if his behavior undermines the national sec

of what happened on the call.nd they said things over and over again that are simply not true. one ofaipl them was there's no evidence of president trump's interest in burden-sharing. that wasn't the real reason. but they didn't tell you that burden-sharing was discussed in the call, in the transcript of the call. they didn't tell you that. why? let me read it to you. here's the president. and we'll go through the entire transcript. i'm not going to read the whole transcript. we'll make it available.si i'm sure you have it, but we'll make available copies of the transcript so you can have it. the president said, and they read s this line, i will say tht we to a lot for ukraine. we spent a lot of effort and a lot of time. but they stopped this. they didn't read the following: much more than european countries are doing. and they should be helping you more than they are. germany does almost nothing for you. all they do is talk. and i think it's something that you should really ask them about. when i was speaking to

just 90 points after tminutes a 25th call, mr. duffey e-mailed officials at the department of defense that they should hold off on any additional d.o.d. obligations of these funds. mr. duffey added that the request was sensitive and that they should keep this information closely held. the timing is important. because if the aid wasn't linked to the july 25th call, ifs it wasn't related, why the sensitive, closely held request made within two hours of that call? let's just ask mr. duffey. mr. duffey and mr. blair can testify about these by d.o.d. to the office of management and budget, about the illegality of the hold and why it remained in place even after d.o.d. warned the administration that it would violate the empowerment control act. now the president, of course, has disputed this fact. but we have demonstrated that omb was warned repeatedly by d.o.d. officials of two things, first, continuing to withhold the aid would prevent the department of defense from spending the money before the end of the fiscal year and, second, the

why aren't they calling me to testify -- why do they need biden? call me. me what biden did wrong. >> do you think they're afraid of calling you? >> i think they're very afraid of me. i think they're afraid of me because i think they made a mistake by, you know, trying to do what they did to me. >> if you could say anything to the president, what would he say? >> he needs to understand he's not a king. he needs to understand there's a democracy, there's rules. even if you don't like him, even if you don't agree with him. it's all fun and dandy going to these rallies and standing up in rallies. i was there. i was front stage -- i was the first one at the trump. it's scary if he wins another four years. i don't know what will happen. i don't know what will happen to me because i guess i'm enemy number one right now. i pray that i have good counsel and that i'll be protected and that we'll fight this. but i'm glad the truth is out. i feel good. i feel good that i was able to do my civil duty in front of congress and i'm here to help the senate, congress, and h

if it was, in fact, a perfect call, we should hear from mick mulvaney about that call. and the actions that preceded it and followed. we should here from john bolton. >> as jefferies was talking to us reporters, the senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell, was speaking on the senate floor and he reiterated the vision that he has for a senate trial and i'll tell you what, craig, it doesn't sound like he's too keen on having any witnesses. mcconnell said if the existing case is strong, there is no reason for the judge and jury, he means the senate, to reopen the investigation. >> jeff, stand by if you can for me, kristen welker. what are we hearing about how the white house is preparing for this trial? >> reporter: well, craig, they're having ongoing conversations about what the president's defense is going to look like. here is what we know so far. we know that white house counsel pat scippillone is expected to take the lead and will be joined by jake sekulow. jay sekulow has been with president trump through thick and thin, frankly, throughout this administration. he is

in the clinton trial, the house wanted to call ten witnesses. there were three that were called, they were interviewed behind closed doors. they might interview witnesses but we might not see it. >> melissa: it was a piece of video was shown, they weren't called as witnesses. >> dagen: they videotaped closed-door depositions. >> jessica: i think with susan collins specifically, the most outstanding example of this where electoral politics comes into play. susan collins is the single most unpopular senator sitting right now. when people are in tight races like what's going on in colorado, she has an opponent there versus -- they are going to be under pressure to be doing what their electorate, their constituents want. public opinion has weighed in favor of having witnesses. >> harris: based on, you know, the example that bill just gave, she is independent usually of all of that. >> jessica: the kavanaugh vote really from that, "i'm deeply troubled" and it's become a joke, she said "i'm concerned about that but then she goes in line with president

so don't wait, call now. (announcer) and when you call right now, you'll also get this free prescription savings card that can help you save up to 80% on prescription drugs. >>> lev parnas handed over a treasure trove of evidence to house investigators this week. including this handwritten note from parnas with a simple directive. get to zelensky to announce that the biden case will be investigated. he literally wrote it down. joining me now, josh letterman, political reporter, philip, you went through and you annotated this letter from parnas. and i want you to break it down for us. he says, that he needs to go and get this information to investigate the bidens. walk me through it. >> so the document is four pages, written on the vienna ritz-carlton note pad, evocative in itself. it walks through, apparently he's on the phone with someone. giuliani is giving him instructions about what this thrust of this campaign will look like. so there are a number of indicators in there about ways in which they're going

haiti's president is calling for an overhaul of what he calls a deeply flawed international aid system haiti's marking 10 years since the devastating earthquake that saw hundreds of thousands killed every symbol spoke to president in the capital port au prince. my 1st question is it's been 10 years since horrific earthquake devastated this country. millions of dollars were pledged to help haiti. what has been achieved in all this years is true president usually i am the president of the country i can tell you where in the country or in the surrounding of the capital city any village built with the aid money from the earthquake that can fit a 1000 families in terms of results there has not been any reconstruction process for the country i am someone who believes in the structural the long lasting the sustainable there has been many small achievements but small achievements are made with little amount of money but when you want to talk about major achievements you have to have access to large amounts of money he to spend billions to do a lot of people are still in temporary settlements l

trump called and fired coming so call me trigger a special counsel.unior when muller knew there was no collusion. what was he doing? is just building an obstruction case against the president. that dark cloud caused republicans the house. velpar finally got there and called her bluff. no collusion, no obstruction. in the same week the muller hearing, adam schiff patched the whistleblower part. so trump called their bluff again and released a transcript. no pressure. here are the facts. he makes up my sentence. he said the president of ukraine repeated and declared there was no pressure, he didn't want to say we said say it, you crooked pastor. say it. [laughter] remember, bribery and this and that. where are they? they are not even trying. this is the lightest, weakest impeachment. >> when the democrats realized there was no quit protocol, adam schiff made up. >> i will say this only seven times so you better listen good. i want you to make up on my political opponent, lots of it. by the way, don't call me again. i'll call you when i you've done one o
