it starts with one name -- kate coosey. in 2009, johnny was reading his local paper and found an obituary for a woman who had been in africa with the peace corps. she was just 24. johnny didn't know kate, didn't know her family, but he felt called to tax and spend her funeral. he sat quietly in the very back and listened to her friends, her family, ministers, peace corps colleagues. unassumingly, he invited the family to stay in touch if there was anything he could ever do. only later did they relate what wasn't in the obituary. kate had been murdered in the dark of night after sounding the alarm on child abuse in her village in the african country of benin. johnny isakson was on the case from that day forward. not only was he a fixture on the foreign relations committee, he was actually ranking member on the africa subcommittee, so he put a framed photo of kate on his desk and leapt into action. senator isakson flew to benin to personally lean on its president. he met with peace corps officials. he built a legislative coal

i'm kate bolduan in for brooke baldwin. thank you for joining us for a special christmas edition of "cnn newsroom." the date, the time may not be known, but president trump is still hoping that mitch mcconnell will kick off 2020 with what could be described as a belated christmas gift. a speedy acquittal in his senate impeachment trial. of course, not so fast, mr. president, because before senate republicans can act they actually need to get those articles of impeachment in hand. from house speaker nancy pelosi, of course. and she is showing no sign of budging in this moment. in a letter to house democrats, actually, pelosi notes this in part. the house solemnly honored our oath of office by passing articles of impeachment. it remains for the senate to present the rules under which we will proceed. pelosi added the vote was overwhelming and inspiring. start with cnn's boris sanchez traveling with the president. he joins us from west palm beach, florida, right now. boris, the president has definitely blasted democrats repeat

i'm kate bolduan. president trump is on the world stage once again and it has been a morning of rapid-fire press conferences quite frankly with the president and other world leaders. first with the secretary-general of nato, then with the president of france and just now as you saw with the prime minister of canada. the big headlines really coming out of the president's meeting with french president emmanuel macron, where as these meetings typically include pleasantries between world leaders, statements about the strength of relationships between nations this morning we did not really see that. their interaction, macron and trump was tense to say the very least. president trump accusing emmanuel macron of giving a nonanswer on the question of taking back isis fighters into france and this is just hours after president trump called previous comments from macron about nato nasty. macron defended his remark that the world is facing the quote/unquote brain death of nato when they were sitting right next to

kate? >> appreciate it. >>> despite president trump's claims that republicans are united in the impeachment fight and they largely are, there are a handful of senators who may be making the white house and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell nervous. one of them is alaska's republican senator lisa murkowski, a moderate memorably did not vote with republicans on brett kavanaugh's supreme court position, you might recall. now coordinating and be in lock step with the white house when it comes to impeachment trial strategy. >> in fairness when i heard that i was disturbed. to me it means we have to take that step back from being hand in glove with the defense. and so i -- i heard what leader mcconnell had said. i happen to think that that has further confused the process. for me to prejudge and say, there's nothing there, or on the other hand, he should be impeached yesterday, that's wrong. in my view, that's wrong. >> joining me now, samantha vin gr vingrad and thank you all for being with

kate, do you wa nt to this on its front page.emin's can between killing a chechen rebel in a berlin park. this talks about the death of a chechen man in a berlin park. he was shot. and germany is blaming two russian agents and has expelled them. they had not heard about this case at all. it has echoes of the sergei skripal attack, the salisbury attack, where you have russian agents operating within a country and some really horrific deaths being carried out. i think there was some more details not only in the ft but the times covers it as well. it talks about the russian agents working out of a base in the french alps and it gives them access to european countries they are able to move in and out of. at the end of the day, this killing has seen two russian spies effectively being kicked out of germany and it has certainly ramped up tensions between germany and russia. going back to salisbury, the russians, they are a rogue state and they do these things at will. and if they have this, you know, it is, we have the james bond trail
