congressman cicilline, what's going to happen tomorrow morning? >> lawrence, we finished the hearing today where we heard in detail the conclusions of the intelligence committee investigation where the president clearly put his own personal political interests ahead of the national interest and attempted persuade a foreign leader to interfere in an "a" parking lot election and leverage taxpayer funds appropriated by congress to accomplish that objective. we also heard in detail about the president's effort to prevent the investigation of this misconduct. and it really strikes at the very heart of our democracy, of the right of people to decide their own future and to select their own political leaders. we were here all weekend engaged in robust discussions about what the specific articles should look like. we met today after the hearing as a committee to go over the evidence again that we heard. we're going to meet again first thing in the morning and continue our work until we have articles of impeachment ready for consideration by the full commi

congressman cicilline has been at the forefront of the fight.it is done and things have changed. how a psz is living a new reality and so are we all. our 45th president is now also the number three with a giant mark of impeachment that will be an asterisk next to it forever. congressman cicilline, thank you for joining us. how do you feel? >> it was a very sad day for the country. i think we demonstrated throughout the koors of the day we had no choice but to move f r forward with articles of impeachment. we heard a lot about america is based on free and fair elections. we promote that around the world. and the president of the united states nds mined the national security of our country, betrayed his oelgt of office and tried to cover up the conduct. we were left with no choice but to go forward with impeachment. we did taken a oath whether we began our service to protect and defend the constitution. >> if it's so clear, why not a single republican vote? in 1998, five democrats voted to impeach himt. he was saved in the senate by republicans. h

cicilline sec reek recognition? >> move to strike the last word. >> gentleman is recognized. >> i want to respond to the gentleman from ohio's reference that people listening on a call should just shut up. couldn't disagree more passionately. the extraordinary courageous patriots who love our country spoke up withhen they saw sometg that was wrong, violated the law, violated the constitution, and undermined the national security interests of the united states. and thank god they did. otherwise, the president of the united states would have gotten away with this scheme of dragging foreign interference into our elections to help him cheat in 2020. so i salute the extraordinary men and women in the foreign service and our intelligence community for the courage they've shown inle toing forw c forward reporting what they've seen. i wish we could find more of it on this committee. i want to say, facts are a stubborn thing. this amendment, unfortunately, is just not true because what we know is this scheme called a drug de

cicilline's time. >> i yield back, mr. chairman. >> the gentleman yields back. mr. johnson, for what purposes mr. johnson seek resolution? >> strike to move the last swa rhetorical question. it's kind of a silly one. i do want to refute what mr. cicilline has said and what some of the others have said that there is just no evidence in the record that the president was concerned about corruption. i mean, of course that's absurd. everybody at home knows this. the president's been talking about foreign governments and foreign corruption and the misuse of american taxpayer as treasurer since before he ran for president. he tweets about it all the time. i mean, everybody knows this. this is one of these things in the law that's just well understood. but every witness in the record every witness testified that president trump was concerned about corruption when foreign governments, that includes ukraine. and the white house released a transcript of the remarks between president trump and president zelensky before the bilateral meeting in new york september 25th. this is a

cicilline: i think what we saw clearly from the witnesses this morning is overwhelming evidence that the president used the power of his office not to advance the public interests or the public good, for his own political advantage. republicans focus on process. not a single effort to refute the overwhelming evidence of misconduct and wrongdoing by this president. and as i listen to my colleagues become so desperate about subpoena for phone records and a reset, if they show show the same outrage about the president asking a foreign leader to interfere in an american presidential elections and using taxpayer dollars, goes to the heart for our democracy. people wait in long lines to vote, have their voices heard and determine their future. is not for the president to interfere in our elections. that right belongs to the american people. know what : we all now is that the facts are pretty overwhelming. but what is amazing to me. we all know that candidate trump said these words, russia, if you're listening, which means he invited a foreign power to interfere in our election. but what ha

democratic congressman david cicilline of rhode island. do you feel you got guidance or illumination today on the task of drafting articles of impeachment? >> i thought the witnesses provided what the constitutional standards are for bribery, high crimes and misdemeanors. a lot of the history of the articles of impeachment included in the constitution, interestingly our founding fathers were worried about foreign interference. george washington warned of it. james madison said this is the gravest danger to the public. the idea there would be foreign interference in our election is a direct attack on the right of the american people to elect their own political leaders and decide their own future. the idea a president of the united states to help him and use taxpayer funded military aid as leverage to try to make that happen is shocking, and it really does undermine our national security. it undermines our democracy. and we heard today that although our founders weren't prophets, they really understood the dangers of foreign interference in

please welcome democratic congressman david cicilline. what was that vote about to you this morning? was it about stopping -- was it about the election? was that the sort of first and foremost thing in your mind? >> absolutely. it was about improving our right as citizens in this country to decide our own futures, to decide who will represent us in the white house and who will really control our democracy. and, you know, one of the most extraordinary things about this country is it's a country of self-government. it's a dem ocracy than example o the world. if we let the president of the united states cheat in this election by dragging in a foreign power to help him win, we'll lose our democracy. we'll have a dictatorship, a monarchy. this is about improving what made this country so great in this world. >> i heard you say that to your colleagues and then i thought if you're going to impeach imand then he's going to keep doing that so what's that mean? >> we really don't have a choice. you cannot watch this grave misconduct of the presiden

congressman cicilline has been at the forefront of this fight. how does he feel?oes he think about the holdup? what does it mean about what comes next? next. mike bloomberg's never been afraid of tough fights, the ones that make a true difference in people's lives. and mike's won them, which is important right this minute, because if he could beat america's biggest gun lobby, helping pass background check laws and defeat nra backed politicians across this country, beat big coal, helping shut down hundreds of polluting plants and beat big tobacco, helping pass laws to save the next generation from addiction. all against big odds you can beat him. i'm mike bloomberg and i approve this message. >>> it is done and things have changed. our president is living a new reality and so are we all. our 45th president is now also the number three with a giant mark of impeachment that will be an asterisk next to it forever. let's get to one of the people behind that vote. congressman cicilline, thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. >> how do you feel? >> it was a very sad d

cicilline. >> thank you, mr. chairman. since our founders ratified the constitution in 1788, the president of the united states has had a duty to advance our national interests not his own personal or political interests. 220 years later, a congressman on this committee said and i quote, in business of high crimes appear misdemeanors goes to the question of whether or not the person serving as president of the united states put their own interests personal interests ahead of public service, end quote. the congressman who said this was mike pence. and he was exactly right. impeachman offenses as stander hamilton explained are and i quote abuses of public trust. injuries done to society itself. end quote. high crimes and in other words are abuses of power committed the people. this is exactly what president trump has done. and yet i have to admit i think the president's distractions are working. because most folks are sitting at home thinking what in the world has any of this got to do with me? how does stopping foreign aid

congressional portuguese caucus, and member of the hispanic caucus, i join with congress members cicilline, nunes, and others in being the original co-sponsor of the act. i want to thank my colleagues this week for their support and passage on a bipartisan basis. our friendship with portugal and the contributions of hardworking portuguese americans i, immigrants, are an important part of our country's history and our heritage. as well as our economy. the united states is portugal's largest trading power -- partner outside the european union. it in 2018 alone, trading between our two countries reached an excess of $5 billion. this will only increase that economic activity. this bill, because this bill will make it easier for portuguese investors, businesspeople, to increase their operations in the united states. growing both our economies, drawing our nations even closer together, and guess what? creating more and more jobs. more than 100 portuguese companies today already have operations in the united states. what did those operation does? they create jobs, opportunities, and they build ad

cicilline. mr. cicilline: mr. speaker, i rise in support of the articles of impeachment against donald j. trump, the 45th president of the united states. mr. speaker, no one runs for congress to impeach a president. but this president has left us no choice. president trump abused the enormous powers of his office when he solicited foreign interference for the purpose of helping him in his re-election campaign in 2020. the president betrayed our national security and undermined the security of our elections when he put his own personal political interests ahead of the interests of our country. he tried to cheat to win re-election. and this wasn't an attack on vice president biden. this was an attack on our democracy. and if we do not hold the president accountable today, we will no longer live in a democracy. we will live in a dictatorship where any future president will be free to abuse their office in order to get re-electioned. today every member of this chamber faces a choice. whether to do what the constitutio

>> the interesting thing here is cicilline, a representative who is leading the house judiciary committee'snvestigation into antitrust and tech issues also seems to be involved in this. he would be an obvious candidate to introduce new antitrust legislation. he had said he won't do anything until that investigation wraps up early 2020. taylor: it was interesting that the was also looking to ban no -- non-competes and agreements. what could be the potential ripple effects if that were passed? >> there are a lot of other provisions in this bill, it will be interesting to see if they stay in. as you mentioned, there was language about noncompete, no poaching, also language to guarantee the rights of gig economy workers to organize. if those stayed in, that would significant. taylor: those are a bunch of different issues thrown into one. is there one that appears to be the bigger issue, is it anticompetitive behavior or is it protecting worker rights, let's say of uber drivers? >> when you look at antitrust legislation, the target is acquisitions made by the largest companies. this bill would p

one of your colleagues made the point i didn't want this either, the idea that someday, oh, cicilline, how do you feel about that being your legacy? >> nobody runs for congress to say i'm here to impeach a president. we ran on taking on corruption and washington and getting government to work for the people again. we've passed nearly 400 pieces of legislation, 2 5 bipartisan bills that do many of those things that are sitting on mitch mcconnell's desk. that's why we ran to being when you're confronted with the president of the united states kaemting to corrupt our elections, we take an oath when we start, i will protect and defend the constitution. this is a is on the but we owe it to this generations and future generations, we need to say we did everything we could toboro ticket our democracy, a people get to use then own president. >> david ciccoline, thank you very much. thank you for spending time on the show. >>. >> the clerk: thank you. >> few people know sack will but we do have someone who consults with the president, understands the media business and understands his objectiv

cicilline. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from rhode island is recognized for one minute. mr. cicilline: i rise to support h.res. 326, the lowenthal resolution to support a two-state solution to the israeli-palestinian conflict. i want to thank my good friend, alan loan tall, for the hard work he's done to support israel and bring this resolution to the floor today. it strongly ream firms long-standing bipartisan u.s. policy regarding the israeli-palestinian conflict. this includes support for a two-state solution and expresses opposition to efforts that undermine the prospects for a lasting peace. . is good strong israel for america, but i've become increasingly concern that this decision to n's this is lly change detrimental to the long-term prospects for peace. this resolution makes clear that best and only real solution to achieving peace is the two-state solution, and i, again, want to thank mr. lowenthal, thank bringing this for to the floor, this resolution, and i urge my colleagues to support it and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the yields back. the gentle

cicilline? >> move to strike. i want to begin to respond to the gentleman of ohio's lamenting about the productivity of this congress. we have passed nearly 400 pieces of legislation since the democratic has taken to pass. they are for prescription drugs and to provide equal pay for equal work, and to raise the minimum wage, and the biggest anti-corruption bill since watergate and to respond to net neutrality and climate crisis and recently completed the negotiations on the new trade deal, and it is exhausting. so sadly, 80% of the bills are laying on mitch mcconnell's desk. so instead of trying to mischaracterize what has been the most productive congress in modern history, we should assert some energy to persuading mitch mcconnell to do his job and bring those bills to the floor. now, back to the facts of the impeachment inquiry. so now, there is an effort to confuse what this is about, and it is the impeachment about the president of the united states to use the power of his office to smear a political opponent

cicilline seek recognition? i'mek sorry. for what purpose does mr. chabot seek recognition? >> strike the last word. >> theik gentleman is recognize. >> thank you. i said that you were investigating the wrong guy, that it should have been biden or bidens, that ukraine was the third most corrupt nation on earth and that hunter biden had just put himself right smack dab in the middle of that corruption and that even though democrats and many of their friends in the media would have you believe that this burisma/biden corruption, that this was all just the vast right-wing conspiracy when in actuality it was the obama administration thatam raised this issue first. in 2015 george kent reported his concerns about hunter biden to the vice president's office. the former ambassador to ukraine, marie yovanovitch was asked pesky questions on hunter biden and burisma that might arise in her senate confirmation process. nearly every single witness who testified at the intelligence committee impeachment inquiry agreedqu that hunter biden's burisma deal created at the very least the appear

congressman david cicilline spoke with chris wallace just a few hours ago. listen. >> the judiciary committee will hear from the intelligence committee counsel who will detail that the president of the united states attempted to coerce a foreign leader to interfere in american presidential election, to assist him in his re-election, undermining the national security of the united states for his own benefit. this is a classic example of an impeachable offense. >> reporter: ed, think of tomorrow as opening arguments in a trial. it's really one step closer to voting for impeachment on the house floor. this morning congressman mark meadows also weighed in. >> we have the judiciary team changing the guidelines and the rules for what impeachment is all about. all of a sudden there's newfound evidence by jerry nadler and his team, it's because the facts are not supporting their argument. >> reporter: and late friday the president's counsel announced the administration really wants nothing to do with participating in the hearings. judiciary chairman nadler invited t

we have david cicilline, we'll ask what he knows about articles of impeachment that will be announced

i'm told though that her office is talking to david cicilline as a cosponsor. he is leading the house anti-trust investigation into big tech that has yet to wrap up. so the time line for introduction is still up in the air. meanwhile sources do caution that this is a work in progress. so those $40 billion and $15 billion-dollar thresholds could still change maybe the metrics should be something like total assets of market share or perhaps all of the above. but ultimately the goals of concrete parameters for mergers and shifting the burden to business to explain why mergers make sense, those aren't going to change, scott back to you. >> that's ylan mui in d.c. a work in progress from a candidate who is not even -- not close to getting the nomination just sounds like a little out there now. >> well, i mean, $15 billion, $40 billion. >> nothing. >> if these are bright lines it's blinding light when you talk about real companies. and a doj there to do this job and evaluate every deal based on upon the the merits of the deal or the actual ability or whether there ar

cicilline. >> i moved to strike the last word. >> you are recognized. >> i want to respond to the gentleman from ohio was lamenting about the productivity of this congress and remind my friends on the other side of the island the american people that we have passed nearly 400 pieces of legislation since democrats took the majority. 275 of those bills are bipartisan. they range in legislation to drive down the cost of prescription drugs, to protect coverage for pre-existing conditions, provide equal pay for equal work, to raise the minimum wage for 33 million americans. the biggest anticorruption bill since watergate. legislation to restore net neutrality, to respond to the climate crisis, universal background checks. the recently completed negotiations on the new trade deals with that list is exhaustive. sadly, 80% of those bills are lying on mitch mcconnell's desk awaiting action so i urge my colleagues to maybe instead of trying to mischaracterize what is one of the most productive congresses in modern history, we ought to assert some energy in persuading mitch mcconnell to do his job i b

other people like congressman david cicilline who has been in charge of the messaging for the democrats a lot. we don't know yet, but they'll be a really important role. >> most likely adam schiff will be one of them. >> adam schiff and other chairmen will likely be among them. >> mick mulvaney was asked this morning if he would testify at a senate trial. this is what he said in a new interview. >> we'll do whatever the president wants us to do. if the senate decides to take live witnesses and the president directs us to do it, we will. if he directs us not to, he won't. folks ask why don't you testify before the house? first of all, the president told us not to. number two, who in this room would go under those circumstances without your law. i very much look forward to the opportunity if the president asks me -- >> sounds like the white house is taking the fifth. why not just say -- >> that's just not right. you take the fifth when you're in court. that's not what this is. this is a kangaroo process. >> a couple of caveats there, he would be happy to do it if the president wants him t

cicilline wish to seek recognition? >> to strike the last word. the member from ohio who suggested that those who are listening in on the call should just shut up. thank god they valued the law. otherwise, the president would have gotten away with this scheme to help him cheat in 2020. i salute the men and women in the foreign service and intelligence community for the courage they've shown of coming forward and reporting what they've seen. i wish we could see it more on this committee. facts are a stubborn thing. this amendment, unfortunately, is just not true. what we know is that this scheme, called a drug deal by the president's own mr. bolton, called it domestic political errand by another trump appointee for which there was no explanation, my republican colleagues are trying to find an answer. they say it's because he was fighting corruption. the idea that donald trump was leading an anti-corruption effort is like kim jong-un leading a human rights effort. it's just not credible. it's just not credible. and we have facts that will demonstrat
