taxpayers' expense senators could also vote to bar him publicly from running for public office well gabriel elizondo is following the story from washington and joins us live now we've been speaking about is gathering momentum for president trump to be impeached a 2nd time gabe does that include an increasing number of republicans. the short answer is yes there's many there are as many as 4 republican senators now that are calling for trump to be removed from office that is very significant because of course there are only 100 u.s. senators in the house of representatives there are also numerous republicans that have indicated that they might sign on to the impeachment in the house of representatives donald trump as well so there are calls from all quarters including even republicans that are no they used to work for donald trump or used to be in the white house that are no longer in the white house so there is essentially 3 scenarios that could play out here number one is trump is impeached by the house of representatives that seems very likely at this point and that could come as early as the middl

where we can join gabriel elizondo gave a pretty stunning revelation coming out of washington that leaks call have people been reacting to that. well i would say a mix of shock and outrage quite frankly is what we're hearing from many lawmakers on capitol hill and elsewhere here in washington give you a little sample of what we've been hearing some of the reaction house judiciary committee chairman jerry nadler in a statement saying that trump very well could have subjected himself to criminal liability and what he said on that recording there amy clopas sure the senator from minnesota staying in that insinuating that trump could have been breaking the law by what he was saying on that tape and then chuck schumer the senate minority leader the top democrat in the senate saying that you want to investigate election fraud start with this and then delete linked to the entire one hour recording donald trump and then adam schiff from the house of representatives lawmaker from the state of california saying trump's contempt for democracy is laid bare once again this time on tape and bernie san

abuse of power by a corrupt man who would be a despots we will not allow him let's get more from gabriel elizondo who's in washington d.c. for as. far reaction there from adam schiff. one of others been saying about this. yeah the reaction has been far and wide here in washington as you probably can imagine go through ist of a few top lawmakers that have. said something about trump's comments jerry nadler the chairman of the house judiciary committee a democrat said that trump might have subjective himself to criminal liability based on what he said in those tapes amy clover sure a senator from minnesota has said that trump's actions were his words in those tapes could be could have potentially be breaking the law that we heard from bernie sanders and he said that no donald trump there are no more votes for you to find on january 20th you will no longer be president of the united states now we heard from hank johnson he's a representative from the state of georgia he said the trump should resign in his words now and said that on monday he will be putting forth a resolution in congress to censor d

well let's get more now from gabriel elizondo he joins us live from washington d.c. i gave that was the vice president elect speaking there but there has been what's of reaction coming out after that call recording was released and then just talk us through the main thrust of the reactions we've seen so far. in one word shock i think that's what you're seeing a lot of people that are commenting about this here in washington just a little over an hour ago we heard from hank johnson he's a congressman from the state of georgia and he tweeted that trump needs to step down now but he also said that on monday that he would be pursuing a resolution in congress that would censure donald trump that's essentially a slap on the wrist but it's the way for congress to voice their displeasure formally over the actions or words of a colleague in this case it would be donald trump there's no legal ramifications to this but it just shows you how seriously this is being taken by so many people here in washington while hank johnson isn't very well known internationally or even here in

election disputes would take us into dangerous unlawful and unconstitutional territory or from gabriel elizondo. this letter is remarkable on several levels but number one is these 10 former secretaries of defense are all from different political persuasions donald rumsfeld dick cheney both staunch republicans signed this letter as well as robert gates william cohen and leon panetta all former secretaries of states that were secretary of defense excuse me that work for democratic presidents and also jim mattis 5 star general signed on to this letter as well so it's remarkable that you get this. unity in a letter such as this and simply remarkable they felt that they even needed to put it out i will also say they also said in their letter this and it's very important they said acting defense secretary christopher miller and his subordinates are bound by law and precedents to facilitate the entry into office of the incoming administration and to do so wholeheartedly as they wrote there this is a direct response to criticism from the president elect joe biden and his advisors who have said that th

back from there they're saying that people should find alternative routes let's say now from gabriel elizondo has this update from washington d.c. . the c.d.c. the centers for disease control issued a new new order in the last 24 hours that masks must be worn on all forms of public transportation in the united states he says airplanes buses trains subways ferries ride share vehicles this is now an order and you might be asking ourselves what were people in the us wearing masks on public transport already well the answer to that is yes but it was not it was not required by the federal government it was left up to individual states and individual jurisdictions and airlines for example to enforce that and to lay out their own standards on masks wearing but now this is an order from the federal government and it's very sweeping and very specific as well it says that the masks must be worn at all times while traveling on any form of public transportation and it says that the masks must be proper masks with 2 layers it can no longer be a handkerchief store or simply little pieces of fabric that man

election fraud he's accused of inciting the siege of the capitol building earlier this month gabriel elizondo is in washington and says in any case democrats will struggle to get enough republicans to support a trump conviction. according to a trump official this was a quote mutual decision but nevertheless this throws his impeachment trial defense indicate awesome he was a chaos president in many ways and he appears to be a chaos. former president as well this is sort of donald trump's style but clearly this comes at a bad time for him as you mentioned just a little over a week away till that trial is supposed to begin but also on this tuesday coming up is when the trump's legal defense team was expected to submit their response to the senate a written response to the senate on the impeachment charges against him for a conviction in the senate you need 2 thirds to vote for a conviction if you have all of the democrats vote for it which seems very likely he would need 17 republicans in the senate to vote for a conviction right now only 5 republicans have indicated that they likely will do tha

intelligence agencies work to identify the perpetrators more than 50 people have been arrested gabriel elizondo has more now from washington d.c. . it's expected that if it does go to a vote that it will probably pass fairly easily because all they need is a simple majority the democrats control the house of representatives narrowly but they control it but it won't even matter much because we're also hearing about republicans who are expected to potentially sign on to these articles of impeachment as well after that though it gets a little trickier because then it's going to go to the senate for a quote unquote trial as it's called and donald trump will not be removed from office unless the senate or 3 fourths of the senate agrees to actually for lack of a better word convict him there's 2 problems here number one can they get 3 fourths of the senate to agree upon that it's unsure on that and then the other issue as young as 11 more days in office would they be able to do that in the next 11 days that's also potentially problematic as well however we do know there are at least 4 u.s. senators t
