do you see parallels to what hailey is seeing and what other concerns have been brought? >> i mean the difference is that those other folks aren't running for president in 2024 and i think this is entirely about hailey positioning herself. she's essentially buying in and kind of giving fuel to the deep state narrative that has become so prevalent among trump supporters. that trump was just trying to do the will of the american people, but was being stopped by all these shady people. she's attacking tillerson and kelly who have no political base and this is a way of engrashuating herself with trump supporters and she's a chameleon. when she ran for president in 2016, she was nowhere near where trump is on a lot of issues, but she can see the way the wind is blowing in the republican party so she's positioning herself that way for the post trump era. >> let me bring in melissa murray, a law professor at new york university's law school. let' zone in on the testimony this week. you know democrats are in charge of the house hearings. when they get underway this week. and toda

what was hailey trying to convey in picking these moments to detail, do you think? was an extraordinary moment that the white house chief of staff and secretary of state are trying to enlist the u.n. ambassador to defy the president? this is really something that's pretty remarkable. and it very much fits with that explosive op-ed that the "new york times" ran on september 8th of last year by anonymous. you know, you go back and look at the language in that op-ed and the language that nikki haley uses in describing this exchange. they are very similar and this conversation she had in the chief of staff's office took place a week or two before the column ran in "the new york times". it made me ask her, does she think that anonymous is either john kelly or rex tillerson? and she declined to speculate. >> fascinating. so if you add -- this is really -- i think actually, a really important point. when you take the episode that you're describing, that she describes in the book that you interviewed her about and the anonymous op-ed that you just talked about. because the

whether it's a description from nikki hailey about what was happening with john kelly. whether it's anonymous accounts from this author from people who have left the administration. they're all described in a very consistent story and for republicans who continue to say that it's all fake news, people see right through that. as you said, that's why wednesday is a test for the country. it's the beginning of a test for the country because all of these facts have been lining up for the better part of three years. >> i think a lot of what we've seen what she's talking about we've seen before but let's not forget this book is a political document for nikki haileyly she had a decision to make. she was one of the people who defied donald trump while she was the u.n. secretary, on charlottesville for one where she made a strong statement, but shemts to be president. she wants to be the candidate in '24. she might want to be the vp candidate and i think she's sorely disappointed the republican never trumpers because she's come out very strongly and created this it's a little bit

former trump appointee nikki hailey has a book coming out and she says that former top white house officials rex til lerson and john kelly asked her to undermine the president. here she is sunday about that. let's listen. >> instead of saying that to me, they should have been saying that to the president. not asking me to join them on their side bar plan. it should have been go tell the president what your differences are and quit if you don't like what he's doing. >> let's talk about what she's referring to. she claims that both of these men wanted to undermine the president and asked her to work to undermine the president because she writes they said that he doesn't know what he's doing. he's incompetent and that they are trying to save the country. that's quiet a revealing look at the west wing and the chaos that has really been there from the beginning. >> it stecertainly is. the first thing to remember is the backdrop of it. she wants to sell books and set up her political career career. there's been speculation she might some day run for president. but to the point that you make, the d

to her credit ambassador hailey is not trying to have it both ways. was a truthful person? >> yes. he was truthful, he listened and he was great to work with. >> wow, trump? truthful? great to work with? a listener? who is this man she speaks of? i'd swipe right on him. i mean, if i was on tinder, which i'm not. before we address the president's inability to lie, a super power that apparently only nikki haley can see, let's address the good listener part. have you ever seen him at a cabinet meeting sitting there with his arms crossed, he looks like a guy who wished he had some meatloaf in front of him. just about everyone who has fled this white house has commented on the president's short attention span and lack of interest in reading or listening to long, detailed briefings. as to nikki haley's claim that trump is a truthful person, bless her heart. i'm not sure how she qualified it will get her any kudos when she said "in every instance i dealt with him he was truthful." it like saying "all i can tell you is what i saw." actually, no. for instance,

leland: but this is the point that nikki hailey is going to make here in a minute. but the idea that -- how do you have a crime if the a aid was eventually released, which it was. take a listen to nikki haley. >> you're going to impeach a president president for asking for a favor that didn't happen and giving money and it wasn't withheld? i don't know what you would impeach him on. look, impeachment is like the death penalty for a public official. when you look at the transcript, there's nothing in that transcript that warrants the death penalty for the president president. leland: founders in their infinite wisdom said high crimes and misdemeanors. where is the high crime? >> well, first of all, it's a really bad argument to say that the aid was ultimately restored and, therefore, he didn't commit a crime. that's sort of like saying attempted murders is not a crime. the aid was withheld contrary to what nikki haley just said. it was frozen for weeks. it constituted 10% of the ukrainian defense budget at a time when they were under attack by russia and the only rea

secretary hailey was rarely a participant in my many meetings and is not in a position to know what iay or may not have said to the president. ian bremerman joins us. people look at this and say nikki haley positioning herself for the future. that's interesting. i continue to think the underlying issue of this is fascinate chicago ing which is haley is saying. if you put that in conjunction with the anonymous book and all the quotes about that, that's a statement. >> i remember the first time this came up was back when gary cohn was concerned that trump was going to try to break the u.s./south korea trade deal. and he ordered sort of a briefing put together and comey said i'm not going to put that on the president's desk. i'm going to take that away. you could argue that's insubordination. that's also someone who is trying to advise the president best for the country and protect him and the team as a whole. i mean, you know, this is a gray area. and when i see tillerson and kelly and nikki haley arguing about this, i see a lot of public positions. i don't see a lot of real substantive

ambassador hailey made the argument that the aid flowed.ems like it flowed after people at the white house got the inkling they were blowing the whistle on this whole caper. secondly, she said that the ukrainians -- that was the main part, that the money did flow. >> what's important about that, "the new york times" has done reporting in ukraine about how close the regime, the new president came to basically folding. >> yes, exactly. >> the president's advisers were saying, look, we desperately need this aid even though our whole program is to battle corruption and not have phony investigations for corrupt political purposes. we're -- you know, we may have to do that. >> they were about to move forward. it was reported that they were about to move forward when this whole thing blew up. >> yeah. >> so the haley argument really doesn't hold up here either. this goes back to the fundamental dilemma. republicans don't have a real great place to land here. >> one of the things that surfaced in the transcript of catherine croft which was released
