his real name is mike williams. this is his mother's farm. >> i got a couple facebook messages. didn't even know who they were talking about at first. it was chelsea's sister that messaged big mike. >> people were messaging me. go lack through your field. >> but go look for what? a body. surely not. >> i took my dog and we went hiking through the field. probably hiked a couple miles and my dog stumbled on a fox trap. >> reporter: mike took his bleeding dog back to his house. there encountered chelsea's mom who gave him a chilly reception. he excused himself, took his dog to the vet. >> then i came back here. there were probably 15 people here all searching through the field. that's when started gelling more alarming. she's missing. >> her family was frantic and did not waste time. it was like their base for a little bit. >> do they put up a tent? >> they have a generator and port potty. my attorney said let's leave them alone for now and they will go away. we just let them do their thing. you meent if they set up here. >> i think they just asked. they suspected me. i don't think

there are things related to that including mike pompeo and william barr. pompeo is on his way to europe. what are we hearing from the secretary of state? was --concern is that he it was reported he was listening in on that phone call. that is one of the things the three committees in the house want to hear about. they want to hear from him and also how that call was handled afterwards. he is saying he is concerned about this and he will block to have by the house his staff provide documents. this is a showdown with mr. pompeo as well as the president. they have subpoenaed rudy giuliani, the president's personal lawyer, with regard to any contact he has had with craney and officials on the president's behalf. matt: senior international editor jody schneider on the latest in the impeachment investigation. up inquiry heats washington. secretary of state pompeo has flown to europe. at the center of his visit is the prospect of new u.s. tariffs in retaliation for the eu's aid to airbus. pompeo met with giuseppe conte to voice his concerns over the impact levees

cease fire between turkey and kurdish forces that was brokered just yesterday by vice president mike pence. williamte house is waking up to some rough news. how do you think they're going to handle it? >> well, i think that they should stay the course there. that's what they're going to do. as president trump and secretary esper have talked about, the united states doesn't want to be involved in an ancient conflict between the turks and the kurds and they don't want to be the police force. what they should do and what they may do is actually double down on this and pull the troops out and pull those troops out of syria all together. cheryl: but the vice president went to ankara. it has to be in response at least in part to the mass amounts of criticism from most members of the republican party and then you had the house vote that was frankly bipartisan that said that the united states should not be pulling, those troops out of syria, that we should not just hand over the region to frankly the russians and iran. >> i mean, they really should have the courage here to stand firm because it's in the un

including mike pence. william barr, the toernl attorney general.implicated by the testimony. >> john i wanted i want to read part wlaf ambassador sondland said last we can. said inviting a foreign government to undertake investigations for the purpose of influencing an upcoming u.s. election would be wrong. withholding foreign aide to pressure a foreign government to take such steps would be wrong. i did not and would not participate in such undertakings. now, according to taylor's testimony today, i mean that's exactly what he did at the behest the president trump. >> certainly sounds that way, anderson. what we have here to me is most striking about taylor's testimony. he is describing a conspiracy in operation. and they -- he glets a lit of information about what is what is going on. but he certainly doesn't become a coconspiratorer and doesn't like what he learns about that conspiracy. so i think that it's also striking that the justice department is ignoring this whole conspiracy, which is in a sense is still ongoing. if it's not ended soon we

we are joined by mike pence, attorney general william barr, and k james. also with this is that's terrific family. he was a good husband. for the first 38 years. with children and grandchildren and great grandson, he grabbed me and said i like this guy. edwin meese was born into a family committed to public service. police court clerk, his dad had some incredible stories from what i was told. stories of serving the people of oakland inspired his lifetime of passion and his law enforcement career was unparalleled. after graduating from yale in 1953 he attended the california berkeley law school and servant two years of active-duty in the united states army. he remained in the reserves another two decades retiring as a colonel in 1984. i didn't know that. that was pretty good. he married ursula, the love of his life coming in 1958, they wanted me to say that and he meant it truly, the love of his life, a beautiful thing. he then became deputy district attorney of alameda county, california, the same county where he had grown up and regularly road with local

president trump's inner circle his personal lawyer rudy giuliani, secretary of state mike pompeo, and attorney general william barr all now at the center of the impeachment investigation. here's nbc's peter alexander. >> reporter: mike pompeo tonight ignoring questions in italy. >> do you have any comment on reports you're on the july 25th call with president zelensky >> reporter: thesecretary of s, with new revelat call where president trump asked the ukrainian president to investigate joe biden what he knew about that conversation. >> so you just gave me a report about a ic -- whistle-blower complaint none of which i have seen. >> reporter: pompeo today trading accusations with house democrats, who subpoenaed him for documents, accusing them of trying to bully five current and former state department officials called to testify. pompeo vowing to prevent or expose any attempts to intimidate democratic lawmakers later warning his actions could serve as evidence of obstruction. another member of the president's inner circle under growing scrutiny, personal lawyer rudy giuliani, now hiring his own lawyer after

now two top officials, mike pompeo and william barr, the latest high-profile names entangled in presidentts to get foreign governments to act on his behalf. today secretary pompeo is taking aim as democrats who want to depose his staff in the wake of that july phone call where president trump repeatedly urged his ukrainian counterpart to investigate both joe biden and his son hunter and, again a reminder to everyone. there is no evidence of wrongdoing by either biden. pompeo tweet add letter he sent to the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee where he wrote

now two top officials, mike pompeo and william barr, the latest high-profile names entangled in president trump's attempts to get foreign governments to act on his behalf. today secretary pompeo is taking aim as democrats who want to depose his staff in the wake of that july phone call where president trump repeatedly urged his ukrainian counterpart to investigate both joe biden and his son hunter and, again a reminder to everyone. there is no evidence of wrongdoing by either biden. pompeo tweet add letter he sent to the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee where he wrote the depositions are an attempt p attempt to, his words, intimidate and bully state department officials adding that he would "prevent any attempts to do so." now, the secretary's defiance comes as sources tell cnn pompeo was actually listening in on the phone call and contrast that with a little over a week ago when pompeo claimed he hadn't even read the whistle-blower complaint about that conversation. and then there is bill barr. the nation's top law enforcement official who'll reportedly has been meeting wi

giuliani, secretary of state mike pompeo, and attorney general william barr are all drawn deeper after allegations of the administration's contacts emerged. kevin cirilli has more. are we looking at? has subpoenaede rudy giuliani come up with that phone call now in question between president trump and y,raine's president zelensk and whether or not the president was asking for political dirt on the democratic president will front-runner. all of this comes as house members are in congressional but until committee chair adam schiff has still been working through the process. yesterday there were also reports that secretary of state mike pompeo was on that trump-zelensky phone call. otheres as pompeo and state officials are said to be asked i the house intelligence committee to provide documents, as well as any other information as it relates to that phone call. meanwhile, another phone call now in question. the new york times first reporting last evening that president trump reach out to australian prime minister scott morrison to see whether or not he would be willing to look into the or

back and not come forward, and that's deeply concerning. >> i'm stunned by the behavior of mike pompeo and william barr, especially where it is in the calendar. we're possibly 18 months away from a new justice department run by a democratic attorney general who's empowered to investigate everything they've been doing. for anyone who lived through the nixon experience, the idea that an attorney general would go near to the edges of this kind of behavior or a secretary of state is just stunning but i have the same sensation. i remember in high school, you know, being glued to the watergate hearings. it's the same sense of an administration that is just -- has no sense of accountability, has no sense there's ever going to be scrutiny. the zelensky call trump made from the private living quarters. and i think what is finally happening is, indeed, that things are catching up. so we're seeing that with barr and with pompeo, as i said, i think pence may be next. >> the next whibls might be aimed at mike pence. we will see. congress andre carson, nichols christophe, matt miller, thank you for starting us

to inies pressure, widening their impeachment probe to include secretary of state mike pompeo, attorney general william barr and president's personal attorney rudy guliani. >> president of the united states encouraging a foreign nation to interfere and help his campaign by investigating a rival is a fundamental bleach of the president oath of office, it endangers our election and national security. reporter: tomorrow is deadline for pompeo to turnover documents related to this impeachment inquiry. in a separate note, administration moving forward with tariffs on eu. imports to united states, reason they could do this, because the wto said that u.s. wins a case against airbus, airbus gets subsidies, the stuff on the planes, on airbus it be under tariffs, that is french wine, italian cheese, british sweaters, aircraft and scotch whisky . and saying that boeing gets subsidies from the u.s., that case, will be disietde decided t few months. elizabeth: a check of the markets, people call this the kitchen sink market, everything thrown at it. bad numbers on the economy. stocks did rise, investor bet that fed

congress, democrats are running their impeachment inquiry, investigating second of state mike pompeo, attorney general williamarr, and the president's attorney rudy giuliani. on a conference call, house speaker nancy pelosi said, "i think that our chairman used really good word for barr and pompeo and giuliani, and they are henchmen." house minority leader kevin mccarthy rode this bigger this morning requesting she spent all impeachment efforts until house democrats establish transparent rules governing it. the president received support from his vice president, mike pence. >> the american people have the right to know whether or not the vice president of the united states or his family profited from his position. you look at the video of vice president biden and you see there was clearly a quid pro quo. >> mike pence and other republicans charge then vice president biden pushed out a ukrainian prosecutor for investigating a natural gas company. his son, hunter, served on the company's board. bidens defenders have pointed out that american allies in western europe also pushed ukraine to fire the prosecutor ov

, the more we listen to rudy giuliani, it's not clear to me that his interests align with william barr's or mike it's not sure if any of them align we the president here. >> it's clear rudy giuliani's interests do not align with mike pompeo. he was not acting as a rogue figure here. he was doing it on behalf of the state department. because that protects him. the state department is saying, no, you weren't. and william barr gets put in here because he looked at his justice department looked at the initial ig report and said nothing to see here. so all of them are exposed. and what we know about people around trump, they'll do whatever they can to take care of themselves. not just for democrats on the hill, but journalists covering the story as people try to cover themselves moving forward. >> this is also why it's going to be so important to hear from volcker tomorrow. because it's important that it was kurt volker who asked giuliani to intercede. you hear again in a transcript of that phone call that zelensky wants to talk to giuliani. he says i want to talk to your guy giuliani. >> he may very

mike pompeo. rudy giuliani and william barr. we will tell you what barr and the us attorney dura mater after, the academic epicenter of the counterintelligence russia probe. giuliani calls him a deep state operative. mueller had a different take. what do we know about the man who has apparently vanished. breaking news from overseas, dozens of protesters in court after he today meant to mark the anniversary of the communist takeover of china. a teenager shot. hong kong police say he would be the one facing charges. the young leader of the pro-democracy movement joins us from hong kong with a message for america. we began with fox team coverage, katherine herridge with the attorney general digging into, mark meredith with a closer look at hunter biden but we begin with jillian turner only developments in the democrats ukraine investigation. what are they up to tonight? >> democrats are claiming mike pompeo is the fact witness to the impeachment inquiry. using only at the moment, planning a press availability for tomorrow. democrat

rudy giuliani, secretary of state mike pompeo, and attorney general william barr are drawn deep into inquiry after new details about the admin's ration's foreign contacts emerged monday. >> the house issuing a subpoena to rudy giuliani as well as the president's personal attorney. they want to know specifically what his role was in orchestrating some type of overseas communications with ukraine following that phone call now in question between president trump and the ukraine president. yesterday, there were also reports secretary of state mike pompeo was on that phone call. meanwhile, another phone call now in question. the new york times first reporting last evening that president trump reached out to australian prime minister scott morrison to see if he would be willing to look into the origin of the mueller report and work with attorney general william barr. it is just the latest in a series of questions for this administration about president trump's communications with global leaders. >> the japanese government finally raising the national consumption tax to 10% after twice post

house democrats interested in investigating rudy giuliani and secretary of state mike pompeo and attorney general williamarr or are you trying to stay laser focused on what president trump did? >> thank you for having me, alisyn. and i can tell you that we are squarely focused on the whistle-blower complaint, the allegations of abuse of power by this president. putting his political gain over the interests of our national security and the american people. that is what we are going to be investigating in this impeachment inquiry. and we are doing it with urgency. but i have to say, the facts are come fast and furious. and we will proceed with urgency, but we also want to do it with consistency. and fairness. and so that is how we are going to conduct this inquiry. but it really stems from the whistle-blower complaint. >> okay. so, let's talk about what that's going to look like. let's tell our viewers and the american people what to expect this month. because it does seem as though things have shifted into a higher gear. so, just, for instance, i mean, this week, the house intel committee will be calling

mike pompeo. and now william barr faces scrutiny over what we've learned are his globetrotting efforts to dig up dirte 2016 election. asking foreign officials for their help in an investigation into the investigators in the mueller probe the department of justice confirms to nbc news president trump sought help in a recent phone call at attorney general barr's request. back in may barr signed john durham to examine the origins of it russia investigation. and "the washington post" reports barr has personally taken an active role. barr has held private meetings overseas with foreign intelligence officials seeking their help in a justice department inquiry. and last week the attorney general traveled to italy where he and u.s. attorney john durham met senior italian government officials. back with us right now and joined by the white house correspondent for pbs news hour. he's put together a crew, right, and they're out there chasing the white whale, the white whale being any evidence trump and the russians had nothing to do with each other. he wants to whitewash the whole thing and he's obsessed with i

mike pompeo. rudy giuliani and william barr.e will tell you what barr and the us attorney dura mater after, the academic epicenter of the counterintelligence russia probe. giuliani calls him a deep state

like mike pence and attorney general william barr is up to his eyeballs in all of this. speak of barr the scandal unfolding at the department of justice, the attorney general un has apparently been flying across the globe basically trying to dig up ammo for trump tv. what he runs is our department of justice, a department of justice tasked with enforcing the law for all of us. william barr should be investigating the actions of the president, not spending taxpayer money to undermine american intelligence services because keep in mind we know president trump has already done just that. it was just four days ago "the washington post" reported that president trump told two senior russian officials in that infamous 2017 oval office meeting that he was unconcerned -- unconcerned about moskow's interference in the 2016 presidential election because the united states did the same to other countries. in other words, have at it, boys. it is a stunning breach of public trust by a president of the united states, a breach that undercuts american intelligence, law enforcement, a viol

>>> with each passing day, more questions need to be asked of secretary of state mike pompeo and attorney general william barr. what did they know, and when did they know it? one of senators hoping to ask some of those questions is senator kamala harris who's a member of the senate intelligence committee and the senate judiciary committee. she asked attorney general barr one of most important questions he's ever been asked under oath. senator harris joins us next. er. senator harris joins us next e pn that keeps you up again, and again. advil pm silences pain, and you sleep the whole night. advil pm but it's not really something yoyou want to buy.. it's not sexy... oh delicious. or delicious... or fun. ♪ but since you need both car and home insurance, why not bundle them with esurance and save up to 10%. which you can spend on things you really want to buy, like ah well i don't know what you'd wanna buy cause i'm just a guy on your tv. esurance. it's surprisingly painless. that could allow hackers devices into your home.ys and like all doors, they're safer when locked. that's why you need xfinity xfi. wi

state department hat, taking politics as much out of this as we can, to attack william taylor, who came back to service at mikeompeo's request against the advice of his own wife, as he testified, what is your reaction to the way he's been characterized by the white house press secretary? >> it's disgraceful, the way he's being treated, the way marie yovanovitch is being treated, the former secretary of mike pompeo, the way they're being treated is a disgrace. secretary pompeo he's a choice to make. he can either stand up for the men and women of the state department, foreign service officers, civil servants, or frankly, he should leave. but i would like to hear from him what's been done. the statement from the white house is really hard to put in words how abysmal it is. bill taylor, as people have pointed out, is a west point grad. he served in vietnam. he was then on the ground as an ambassador, an envoy in iraq and afghanistan. he served in republican and democratic administrations since 1985, for president reagan, both president bushes, as well as democratic presidents. there's west point honor code. he's

john meacham, we have a government in the state department with mike pompeo and justice with william barr running around, literally running around the world inbe barr's case, going to meetings in italy, to protect him to chase his conspiracy theories. the government is now operating on the whims, the personal whims, the political whims of the president of the united states. it's no way to run a country. >> it's not, and you're right. we basically had a constitutionalization of narcissism that is essentially what's happened here. on the history point, what's important, i think, to push back against the coup stuff is there was a clear debate in philadelphia and in the ratification conventions in the 1780s about could you impeach a president for what was called mal administration, just screwing things up, and they decided, no. that that was for the voters. it was very specifically designed for treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors. there was an absolute sense that this was very serious. it should only be undertaken in the event of the betrayal of the country, putting y

president's personal attorney rudy giuliani, the nation's top law enforcement agent william barr and the vice president mikece and secretary of state pompeo. why is pompeo attacking democrats today? >> clearly upset he's caught up in the web of scandal around that phone call with president trump and the president of ukraine asking a foreign ally t son hunter. and he yo he didn't want the transcript released and white house attorneys had this locked up in a classified computer file normally resumed, reserved for state secrets. as you noted he's not the only one. look at william barr at the justice department. he's roped in because president trump told the ukrainians they should work with him on this investigation of the bidens even though there was zero evidence the bidens did anything wrong. also we know the president asked other countries including australia to work with barr on his investigation into the origins of the russia investigation, which so bedevilled the white house. giuliani, private attorney for the president. he's caught up in it, same reason. because the president told the ukrainians work wi

have a date certain of impeachment on trump, but also on vice president pence, also of william barr, also of mikeo, and say this is all happening, folks. you are invited to come down and testify. if you don't show up, you're also going to be held in contempt of congress. would you do that? would you start holding people in immediate contempt? or what would you do? what would you advise democrats to do right now? >> well, i wouldn't bring impeachment proceedings against the vice president, because that might stop prevent proceedings against the president. no republicans are going to come along if nancy pelosi's going to be the next president. so, you have to really think about that carefully. i mean, that's one of the consequences of that. one of the reasons that we were able to impeach richard nixon is that gerald ford had been picked to replace spiro agnew and was the vice president. so when nixon was removed, there still was a republican president. contrary to what donald trump says, this is not a coup. impeachment is not a coup. you replace the president with someone of the same party. if you

this is "bloomberg: surveillance ." , secretary of state mike pompeo, attorney general william barr wererawn deeper into a house inquiry after new details of the administration's foreign contacts monday. subpoenas records of dealings on trump's behalf. stephanie baker has been covering this from the beginning. what is the likelihood rudy giuliani complies and if he doesn't, what happens to the house subpoenas? >> these got until october 15 to comply and this is records of telephone calls, communications, text messages which could tell white houseer officials it was in communication with and were part of this effort he was leading to dig up dirt on the bidens in ukraine. he has said he is considering the request but it raises interesting issues about attorney-client privilege. that will be his line of argument, that since he is trump's personal lawyer he will try to invoke attorney-client privilege but he will have a hard time doing that because he has been on cable news talking andt all this repeatedly, it really has nothing to do with him defending the president as he was doing in the m

william. he needed livery from carlin the tailor, for mike when he arrived at mount vernon. carlin charged washington's will liverymaking as well as putting pockets into an repairing the suit. we know that washington's household livery -- they are always colors hemorrhoid? the -- colors, right? we can assume that that might be for livery. william lee arrived at mount vernon in 1768 when he was 18 years old. he received livery from carlin the tailor after a year of service at the estate and this is surely not his first suit of livery and it would not be his last. william makes another appearance in the accounts in june of 1771, and again, carlin charges washington for making will livery, coat, and breeches. carlin also made frank a suit, made nat a waistcoat and breeches. who are these people? frank was william's younger brother who came to the estate in 1768. frank served the household as a also furnished with washington's signature red and white livery. nat's in at least four the slavery database. forin charged washington altering a pair of leather breeches for giles. he wa

investigation now is spreading, looking at rudy giuliani, attorney general william barr, and looking at secretary of state mikepeo and what roles they might have played in trying to convince officials to investigate things on the president's by half -- behalf. rudy giuliani has been subpoenaed, asking for documents that relate to his potential meetings or his meetings with ukrainian officials on the president's behalf. we have seen the secretary of state, mike pompeo, reporting has shown that he was among the people who were listening in to that july 25 phone call between president trump and the ukrainian leader, which is now at the heart of that impeachment inquiry in the u.s. house. now, we are seeing that william barr, the attorney general, has been reported to have sought the help of foreign officials in investigating the origins of the justice department's investigation into the 2016 election and potential russian meddling. they are moving -- they are sweeping up more people, more subpoenas are out, and more questions are being asked. manus: you are going to be with meet through all of this -- me through

foreign minister is at the state department today meeting with mike pompeo and a shouted question from our own producer there, abigail williamsesponded with no response, on the fact that ambassador sondland is not being allowed to testify despite the fact that last night they were saying he would show up. how do you feel about them blocking ambassadors from appearing before official inquiries? >> first of all, i would just like to say that a nonpartisan, nonpolitical diplomatic corps is essential to the national security of the united states. this is a really terrible situation where career foreign service officers like ambassador yovanovitch and george kent are being put between a rock and a hard place, having to choose between instruction they're getting from secretary poimpeo and from their constitutional duty to answer questions from the legislative branch. and i don't see mr. pompeo sticking up for the career service the way that we would expect him to do. mr. sondland he's a direct line into the white house. i'm sure he's getting very high quality legal advice. but what he was doing was not really within the character o

mike pompeo convinced him to do it.t. you're are absolutely correct about that. william tataylor is a long time for diplomat.worked under different administrations in the past, very much part of u.s. foreign policy for many years. insay he led the embassy ukraine. not that he was the ambassador. that is significant because he was appointed on an interim basis to replace maria, who was the investor to ukraine. she was recalled by donald trump. this is important because she was very critical of ukrainian prosecutor that giuliani and trump wanted to investigate both the bidens as well as this theory that ukraine was actually behind the theft of the dnc emails. it has been reported that marie yovanovitch had a very strange relationshipip with this prosecutor.. she accused him of corruption and he did not like her whatsoever. the trump administration had maria not a veg recalled. she was replaced by william taylor. william taylor is important because you will remember a couple of weeks ago we got the transcripts of text messages taylor,between william gordon sondland, and kurt volker about trying to create a meet

. >> mike schmidt, secretary perry, just the latest cabinet official to get swept up. we are keeping sort of an unofficial count here. attorney general william barr was named in the whistle-blower complaint by that call that he released. secretary pompeo squarely in the center of this. mike pence yesterday dodging questions from our own reporter. this seems different from the mueller probe in another way which is that as president he risks ensnaring a whole lot of cabinet officials in this scandal. >> well, i mean, all sorts of aides had to go and meet with mueller and could've been easily, you know, gotten into a lot more trouble if things had gotten worse in the mueller investigation. but i guess what's different here is the interesting thing about perry is he kind of flew under the radar for the first few years of the administration. didn't do a lot of media. you didn't see him out there a lot. he wasn't one of the faces of the white house. ngs that he's been involved in. his contacts with trump. what was trump telling him to do? what did trump say to him about whether ukraine policy had to go through giuliani? what was the impression tha

william burns. thank you, both, for being here. >> thank you. >> thank you. brennan: i want to start with the mediate crisis around syria. mike, you know the general who clearly knows what is happening on the ground. he was slight in what he said. his frustration in terms of the promise made to the kurds is clear. how much of a loss to u.s. intelligence is it to have this pull out from northern syria. >> the kurds were doing a number of things for us. they were fighting isis for us in a very significant way. that is now lost. they were also collected intelligence for us, giving that to us so we could use it in our fight against isis and the other side of the border, what the iraqies were doing. i don't know if we have lost that, i bet you we have or it's at significant risk. >> brennan: who pw *epbt benefis besides isis. >> isis and russian. they get the intelligence now. the syrian regime benefits. the biggest winner here is isis. >> brennan: bill, you have negotiated with erdogan. typically it's a rule that there is leverage in a negotiation. when vice president pence went to turkey this week he promised to lift u.s. sancti

william taylor filling in some of the gaps and testimony by other witnesses. mike emanuel, you're covering this on capitol hill for us. mike, you have to remind everybody, who is taylor and why does he matter in the big picture here? >> dana, good afternoon. bill taylor is a key player in this impeachment probe as the top diplomat in the ukraine. he's a westpoint graduate, a vietnam veteran and held multiple posts overseas including middle east, nato and afghanistan. he arrived on capitol hill about five hours ago. he expressed concern about withholding military aid from ukraine for help with a political campaign. fox news told the state department tried to keep taylor from testifying today, so the intelligence committee issued a subpoena. that makes this session a deposition and fox has learned taylor is complying with the subpoena and answering questions from both sides. earlier a democrat on the foreign affairs committee sounded alarmed. >> all i have to say is that in my ten short months in congress, not even new, this is my most disturbing day in congress so f
