and pushing for investigation against president potential political rival joe biden and chairman of the judiciary committee jerry never said that this would be endangering the american constitution as well as american democracy and number 2 the 2nd article of impeachment will be obstruction of congress interesting leave that dates back to right after the impeachment inquiry began when president trump decided to not cooperate with the committees he instructed the white house to withhold documents for instance prohibited his aides to testify so those of the 2 articles the 3rd article that was discussed but was not put on the table eventually dates back to the model report and that would have been struction off just as when president trump tried to fire the special counsel robert muller however critics within the democratic party said let's just focus on now on this latest case with the in famous ukraine phone call otherwise it was it would weaken their own case all right now take us through some of their reactions are the republicans still keeping up a united front. they are until now the republican and republican

biden's. everything shifts to the judiciary committee this morning led by jerry nadler. we will hear from four constitutional law experts about impeachment weather the president's conduct merits removal. republican is will be united in their opposition. >> the impeachment process slowly drags on with no direction, no focus because they're having one big problem and the big problem is, the president did nothing wrong and they cannot prove it. >> reporter: when tonight, the capitol christmas tree will be lit, a reminder the end-of-the- year is rapidly approaching. some democratic sources say the idea of wrapping up impeachment before christmas is looking less and less likely. >> it raises the possibility of impeaching the president in early january, pushing back a likely senate trial even further. in washington, doug luzader, foxnews. >> thank you doug, make sure you stay here on ktvu fox 2 . we will have live uninterrupted coverage on ktvu plus beginning at 7:00 in. here is a look at some of the top stories this morning, world leaders in london will formally meet today fo

about, because from a political point of view, if you're going to call hunter biden that, has pros and cons. >> the chair jerry seem to indicate that abuse of power is in these articles. how would you identify other articles, high crimes and misdemeanors? >> it's interesting because the report we just saw from that committee goes to great pains to give the constitutional definitions of these impeachable offenses, and actually the abuse of power becomes a subset of the high crimes and misdemeanors. they identified three areas that are overlapping that would look at corruption, they look at betrayal of the u.s. interests, and they also look at whether the president has put his own interests above that of democracy. so we're going to see the abuse of power be presented in a pattern of conduct, and we've heard a number of democrats talk about that. so i think you will see, looking at the 2016 election where the president called for foreign interference as well as his more recent calls for it as well as ukraine, i think that's all going to be presented as part of a pattern of misconduct. >> and then really quick, h

biden. listen to how judiciary committee chairman jerry nadler spoke about the charges this morning. >> elections are the cornerstone of democracy and are foundational to the rule of law. but the integrity of our next election is at risk, from a president who has already sought foreign interference in the 2016 and 2020 elections and who consistently puts himself above country. that is why we must act now. >> now, look, it does feel like we are covering historic events on a daily basis with such speed, it's whiplash inducing, but make no mistake, this is history. this will be just the fourth time in history a president will be facing articles of impeachment. cnn's senior congressional correspondent manu raju is standing by, live on the hill. pamela brown standing by as well. let's go to manu. manu, what happens now? what are you hearing? >> we expect the house judiciary committee to vote on these two articles of impeachment on thursday. we're actually first waiting to see the immediate text of those articles of impeachment that have yet to be released. democrats have been talking about what they w

biden be called to testify. it is very unlikely that chairman jerry nadler will approve that request.ler did ask fellow democrats to stay in washington this weekend. it is believed they will hold mock hearings to prepare for next week. >>> talk now with cnn legal analyst and former assistant district attorney elie honig and former congresswoman from new york and author of the case for "impeaching trump." good morning to you both. elizabeth, start with you. we know moderate democrats are a bit frustrated with leadership over potentially expanding the scope of their consideration. maybe the mueller report findings and drawing up these articles of impeachment. your book "the case for impeaching trump" was published in november of last year. do you think it's a mistake not to include anything beyond the ukraine matter? >> yes. i think it would be a mistake, although, you know, i'm still at a distance, and the members of the committee really have to, who have been digging into this deeply have the best feel, but my sense is that the, what the president did is so egregious, not just with re

doug collins, top republican sending a letter to jerry nadler asking eight specific witnesses to be called. among those witnesses, adam schiff, hunter biden, the whistleblower, all witnesses based on the house impeachment inquiry won't be called. democrats have the power to say no to all of them and likely will, underscoring where the republican defense has been, will be and will continue to be during the course of the house inquiry but senate inquiry as the house ramps up for that. >> thank you very much from capitol hill. >>> we're joined now by house democrat on the judiciary committee drafting articles of impeachment, congresswoman madeleine dean. >> good evening. >> saying the impeachment is baseless as it turns down participating in it. what's your response to the administration's criticism? >> i am not surprised they're not doing that because we have the evidence, sadly. it is a sad time in this country. it is about the president's words and his behavior betraying his oath and our country and interference in our elections. >> there is clearly division emerging in your democratic party whether to include mueller's findings in the ar

jerry nadler postponed the vote. there are two articles up for a vote, abuse of power for withholding aid while pressuring ukraine to investigate joe biden and obstruction of congress which republicans tried unsuccessfully to remove. >> president of the united states shook down a foreign power to get involved in our election. >> none of your fact witnesses were able to establish any evidence. >> despite the delay, the democratic majority in the house of representatives almost assures the president will be impeached and tried in the senate but senate republicans may block witnesses from testifying. we'll have a live report from washington ahead at 5:00. >>> today's the deadline for governor newsom to give a thumbs up or down on pg&e's multibillion-dollar settlement with victims of the wildfires. >> "today in the bay's" bob redell joins us live from fremont outside of one of the utility service centers there. bob, let's talk about what happens if the governor says no. >> reporter: if the governor doesn't prove the settlement, the settlement would be terminated. the utility reached a $13.5 billion agreement with the victims of last year's c

secretary for democratic congressman jerry nadler, writing democrats should actually hooking heat at thes senate trial embrace the idea having someone like hunter biden testify. let me read why he says this. should be, should happen. there is no real down side for schumer. democrats need not worry about the younger biden or anyone's testimony helping trump. schumer should agree to the witnesses trump claims he wants. do so, both republicans and the president will have to explain why they are now reversing course and not making them testify. is that a double -- a double loop de loop, actual back flip? >> or a triple -- who's playing chess or three or four dimensional chess? donald trump doesn't play chess. he plays checkers. if everyone thinks he's playing chess and he plays checkers, he gets the advantage. simple moves. they aren't complicated, we make them overly complicated and subscribe to a strategy when they're being straightforward. the what we saw with the mueller report. as long as donald trump is not found guilty, he's not going to be easy he's not going to be just he wasn't found guilty he'll blow it up to a big, beautiful exoneration. the

biden was involved in any wrongdoing. >> i wonder though to both of you, michael let's start with you, jerry nadler's own words a year agoach and a key one of them is bipartisan support of the american people so you don't rip this country apart. you don't have that. >> that's right. you don't have that. it is a very noble aspiration. it may be very difficult to accomplish. one thing that complicates what the chairman said is that once he says bipartisan is essential for impeachment to move forward, he hands over to the republicans the opportunity simply to not agree. >> and you were neff going neve because the decision was made not to act in a bipartisan matter the day donald trump was sworn in. house republicans have been in lock step with the president. so the question of bipartisanship is far bigger than impeachment. this goes back to sort of president trump's role with respect to republicans in congress from day one. >> it is part of why congressman heck is retiring. what he wrote yesterday. bipartisanship compromise getting you nowhere, i'm out. >> that is one thing both parties agree on, that bipartisanship largely

jerry nadler said, this kind of impeachment would. we need to talk to the people that got it all -- that brought about the circumstances in dealing with ukraine, biden, russia. we need to be able to question about ukraine, about biden, about russia and all these intermingling ties. it is critical. we have got to be able to have that. and of course reference, same person in the mueller report . en where he's in the mueller report shown or is indicated to be the source of allegations that russia told or putin told trump to fire mueller. r comey. in any event, this is all rather tragic where partisan politics, just as jerry nadler predicted in 1998, is about to take a huge step toward finishing off this little experiment in self-government. no government lasts forever. this one won't. but the actions that are being taken now have far-ranging consequences toward destroying the best hope for freedom the world has ever had. people may hate this country, but you talk to people honestly around the world that have some freedom, like i did with three people from australia, and i was kidding around, i said, had a few members say, if we lose our freedom, we can
