jeff merkley. good to see you, senator. >> good to see you, chris. >> do you think witnesses are likely? very unlikely. i think they want to wrap this up, be done. they feel like they have the votes now. i would be surprised. >> the house managers couldn't unilaterally move for witnesses? >> if they had wanted to do so, they should have done so when they were presenting their case. so i wouldn't think they feel now there is a rebuttal role. but you never really know exactly how these impeachment trials will play out, they're so rare. so i couldn't say for sure. but not likely. >> as you were looking around the room, the tuberville call that the defense attorneys tried to dismiss as hearsay, tuberville then came forward and said it's not hearsay, it happened exactly as i said it did, he mentioned that the vp was being taken out. the call with mccarthy and the depth of the animus of the president towards a guy who is his ally who is asking for help. did any of that seem to make a difference? >> it was hard to read what was going on in the minds of my colleagues. i think their main sense, t

chris cuomo interviewing his brother. i think it will be too little, too late on the medias part but now that jeff isn't in there former presidentre i think, you know, the press hungered for coverage in a post- trump era and they will make cuomo their next target. howie: cnn's position is that it made an exception early in the pandemic for the governor to appear on the program and now rules again. cuomo's press secretary says as far as lindsay's allegations are civilly not true but isn't it news, former top aide who resigned over this and do you think that the new account from charlotte bennett might make people, journalists, more likely to believe that lindsay was onto something as well. >> well, in cases where you have accusations of sexual harassment, patterns are part of the story and i think journalists have to be able to cooperate accusations on their own and i know a number of media outlets are trying to do that just as we speak with the cuomo allegations. look, do some left-leaning opinion shows not cover this as much because he's a democrat? i don't know, maybe. to some white ring leaning outlets not cover accusations a
