committee it's widely expected that the department of justice will appeal against the decision the moeller investigation found that russia had worked to disrupt the 2016 presidential election to undermine the democratic candidate hillary clinton. for more we spoke to our washington correspondent pablo fully ileus well this latest twist is a big victory for the democrats am it gives validity to the ongoing impeachment inquiry against president trump and chief u.s. district judge beryl how. missed the administration's arguments for withholding materials from congress and one of those out of months is that there was a need to keep the information secret even though the miller investigation has and that the judge also said that the department of justice is claims that it couldn't provide grand jury material was wrong and claims by the white house and some republicans that a formal vote was needed for impeachment was also deemed incorrect she said it had never been required what's unclear is how much new material related to the president is actually contained in the grand jury transcripts which

moeller, were demoralized.but the final stages of the process and by what was going into the report. were you aware ofng that and doctor was a little bit about that. >> sure, i can't speak to the morale of the team. i have not been connected with the spokes as i left the bureau. i've read the same reports, you can't say how accurate that is. as far as the report goes, for my personal perspective, i was both kind of amazed and impressed by some aspects of it and then a little disappointed by other aspects as well. much of the same way that monday folks who really read it, and dug into this. >> what disappointed you. and in mr. moeller his performance and for congress, disappoint you. >> when i read the report particularly about obstruction. that to me is very much the product a bumbler. he sat down and the whole thing by himself. but what comes out of that, is a moeller his sense of fairness, and propriety. but more i thinknk went as far s he possibly could, essentially called every ball in the president his fav

but but let me just tell you the whole thing is a scam the moeller deal was a scam the russian collusion was a scam you can as putin nobody's been rougher on russia than donald trump ok now with that being said to be great to get along with russia and we will get along with russia because it's smart but nobody's been tougher on russia than donald trump ok yes one place yes president initial good to see you again you had a conversation with president trump about 5 g. 8 and how nokia finland's big company could fill in that space you also met with chinese president xi during the summer which you really had the ties of friendship between the 2 nations do you believe that countries particularly western countries that put walkway equipment in their 5 g. corps are at risk of national security thank you like i told you already in europe their situation is maybe a bit different from that here because. the main company you mentioned is inside europe partly at least what european union is now doing is making own risk assessment. asking you to contrary what kind of experience what kind of what you

fact as your correspondent so well pointed out that good judge friedrich back in july admonished moeller and his group to stop referring to concord and to ira as a core of the russian government because it can't be proven and here's something interesting a lead prosecutor on muller's team jonathan kravis testified in poor in court that the moeller report itself does not state anywhere that the russian government was behind the internet resets research agency and quote so here you have maulers own people saying this what happened is more and guided concorde thinking there's no way in heck that these guys are going to show up when in fact panic attacks they did show up they did charge and that is when actually muller requested to stay requested a lot of extra time because there was a panic for him just while you've been speaking to me and we've been showing some of the pictures on the screen all of the reports there's a lot of blocks there there's a lot of red ducted lines foreign issues so far reaching consequential in international relations terms to say the least shouldn't a dumbing rep

perception in moscow that this report will go over very quietly without much interest because after the moeller investigation was concluded moscow believes and some even in the trump ministration believe that americans don't care about any investigation that is tied to russia but i think this what this report showcases is a real need to focus again on this issue because it's an issue that will continue to harm the united states in our next election system confiscate great to get you and fight on this we do appreciate your time that is much in the confiscate knives and washington d.c. thank you thanks. there plenty more ahead on the news hour including satirical cartoon south park become the latest target of chinese censorship but its creators aren't backing down. a night in jail and straight back to the streets we speak to one climate activists undeterred by the police response to the extinction rebellion demonstrations and. what including how south africa became the latest side to qualify for the rugby world cup qualifier. now kurdish forces have warned any military escalation in syria could l

president is not all that interested in complying they were very recalcitrant in responding to the moeller investigation mr miller never required mr trump to testify personally and backed down from a fight with the white house and i don't think adam schiff however is going to back down in the same way so when they issue subpoenas to the white house in the white house refuses to comply i think will find the matter in the federal courts and it will be very interesting to see how that goes particularly in light of in another case yesterday a federal judge a well respected republican appointed federal judge talked about how this is a dark time many is concerned about obstruction at the white house are you getting a sense at all. how much public appetite there is for the impeachment inquiry going forward. well new polls issued today show that the public is increasingly supportive of impeachment so while trump's base still is with him and the president has raised our record amounts of campaign cash more and more of the public is concerned and as we see the state department the secretary of state

you know why because because it's so important that we get to the bottom we went through the whole moeller scam 2 and half years we went through that and it had 34 days where it was like over and then i'm walking into the united nations and they released it as i'm walking in mr ambassador i'm walking in i'm going to meet with i won't name but one of the top leaders of the world. and i see up on the screen and people start screening about this scam called impeachment you can't impeach a president for doing a great you can't impeach a president for having the lowest and best unemployment numbers that we've had in 51 years you can't impeach a president for tax cuts and regulation cuts and creating and even the ambassador would say the strongest economy in the world with the strongest economy in the world this is a scam and the people are wise to it and that's why my polls one up i think they said 17 points in the last 2 or 3 days i've never had that one i've never had that one so i think it's very sad for a country i think it makes it harder to do my job but i do my job and i do it better tha
