he told "l.a. times" no pressure or blackmail from the united states. he told japan's kioto news, i was never pressured and no conditions being imposed. it was not corruption. it was just a call. the ukrainian president stood in front of the world press and repeatedly, consistently over and over again, interview after interview said he had no knowledge of military aid being withheld and no quid pro quo, no demands, no threats, no blackmail, nothing corrupt. unlike the first 45 minutes that we heard from the democrats today, that's not second-hand information. that's not hearsay and not what someone overheard ambassador sondland say. that was his exact testimony. ambassador, do you have any evidence to assert that president zelensky was lying to the world press when he said those things? yes or no? >> mr. ratcliffe -- >> my time is short. yes or no. reason to doubt what the president said in his -- >> okay. very good. in this impeachment hearing today whereac we impeach presidents for treason or bribery or high crimes. where is the impeachable offense in

a white house reporter for the "l.a. times." what did your sources tell you about these conversations. if impeachment hearings go on and on that will push us right up against the election. >> yeah, and at the senate talking to republicans it became clear there is a divide in the senate gop. some want to push for a long trial and they think the democrats should squirm because they called for this impeachment in the first place. at the same time some are more hesitant about a trial and they want to have a quick dismissal or vote because they think there is too much political risk in an extended trial. >> what do you think, brandon? could it backfire for the president? he wants to talk about a fight, wouldn't a lengthy trial work for him? >> i don't know, he doesn't seem to love the conversation around impeachment. now look, mitch mcconnell certainly enjoying toying with democrats, no doubt about that. the important thing to understand is that he alone, mitch mcconnell, decides what happens. and i think there are two main flaws wit

that came in a private talk with diplomats which someone recorded and gave to the "l.a. times." >> who is the person who gave the whistleblower the information? that's close to a spy. do you know what we used to do in the old days when we were smart, right? with spies. we used to handle it a little differently than we do now. >> the president has also been openly accused of threatening a witness. his former attorney michael cohenier this year, cohen postponed his testimony in the house. his lawyer lanny davis that that was due to ongoing threats against his family from trump. in tv interviews, trump talked about alleged wrongdoing by his wife and father-in-law. he warned that they would be exposed. a trump tweet in january saying of cohen, lying to reduce his jail time. watch father-in-law. he denied any wrongdoing by his wife and father-in-law. trump himself denied threatening cohen saying cohen was only threatened by the truthful but trump has denigrated a public witness who was not in the public domain. who was very uncomfortable in spotlight. that was christine blasi ford

>> anjelica, i know you received your daca status 20 years ago and you wrote an article in the "l.a. timestalking having having a conversation with a student who encouraged her to go on and get a higher education. that is a pretty specific commonality you have with some of these students. what do the students you talk with fear? >> my students are concerned like when their parents are coming in a few minutes late after work, they are concerned that they have potentially been deported so they have all of these countermeasures and go online and check to see if their parents had been deep obtained and make sure their parents are well-informed and they, themselves, are well-informed so they are consistently thinking how will i pay for college and make sure i'm safe? and so it's been a lot of pressure for my students, a lot of anxiety, but it's awesome because i'm able to help them out and help them realize that even though we are putting in these very dehumanizing situations, that we can still contribute to our country and we can still contribute to our community and so i feel like that is som

"historic hearings begin." this was the print edition of politico. "democrats land damning new evidence in testimony." this was one of my favorites actually, the providence journal in rhode island. they kept it simple this is the whole top half of the front page all driven by that big photo and the supporting photos in the supporting cast of characters, but that simple headline, "impeachment begins." if you still subscribe to the print edition of the paper, number one god bless you. that's how i learned how to read as a little kid was reading the newspaper at the kitchen table. thank you mom and dad for always having at least one newspaper around. you do get the print edition of your paper wherever you live today with whatever your local paper's headline was on the front page with the start of the impeachment, this is probably one of those issues of the newspaper you want to tuck away and

this was the headline on the front page of the l.a. times this morning.and implicates president. ambassador says he was following trump's orders in pressuring ukraine. you see the picture there. this was actually very good story telling in terms of the photo editing and headline editing. so sondland implicates the president is the big headline. and the picture is sondland getting legal advice, his lawyer talking to him from behind his hand. and then you see that is actually in support of the sort of secondary front page story there below the main headline which is, he saved himself, not trump.
