pam bondi was the attorney general of florida.hers after was thinking about having florida jo join these other states suing trump university as fraud. big headline, right? florida might be joining the big lawsuit against trump university. although it was less than a week later, september 17 when pam bon bondi's re-election pac got one of the biggest donation it received that cycle, that check for $25,000 from donald j. trump's chair rity. and then what do you know, a few weeks after that pam bondi's office in florida decided that they had looked into it, but they wouldn't pursue a lawsuit against trump university after all. ta da. and i mean, where do you want to start with that one, right? first of all, charities like the trump foundation can't give money to political campaigns and pacs and candidates so that donation itself, no matter the timing was not allowed under law, and the timing was super suspicious, and in terms of that charity, it wasn't a one-off in terms of something that looked a little hingky. donald trump turned o

pam bondy on the other hand has landed on her feet.se to be a lawyer on the president's impeachment defense team. in order to take that role, though, and this is awkward, she had to resign from a lobbying firm she'd been working at. a firm called ballard partners. if that sounds at all familiar to you, it's because you might have seen headlines about ballard partners being one of the entities that has been subpoenaed in the criminal case running in the criminal court in new york basically parallel to the impeachment proceedings on capitol hill. this is criminal case in the southern district of new york that involves igor fruman and lev parnas. they took part in a scheme for which president trump will be impeached, working with rudy giuliani. they are charged in the southern district of new york now with multiple felonies. and according to "the new york times," this lobbying firm that pam bondy worked at until like five minutes ago, ballard partners, they've been subpoenaed in that case in part because they paid thousands of dollars to

pam bondi spoke about the process today. what do you think? >> the white house is really shifting its focus to the senate where, of course, the president will face a trial if he indeed is impeached by the house of representatives. white house lawyers are busy preparing for the potential of that trial, and the senate in the white house's messaging operation is also in full force. that's where we find pam bondi, a special adviser over this impeachment matter. she says the senate and house see the impeachment trial as an opportunity for a fair process. >> we weren't given a fair trial in the house at all. now it goes to the senators, and the president deserves to be heard. we should be working hand in hand with them. the rules of evidence will apply. these are the senators who will decide if our president is impeached, which will not happen. we should work hand in hand with them. >> and those comments come, of course, despite the fact the democrats have been extremely critical of both the house and the senate leader mitch mcconnell by talking abo

pam bondi? >> well, that may have been a little bit of an audition today. vision, and ms. bondi was performing there and articulating the position that many people in the white house feel and certainly that the president feels. so what would it mean? i mean it would mean having somebody with her background and, you know, that person being part of the legal team. i know there's been some reporting in the last few days that the president is not sure if he wants the lead white house counsel, pat cipollone, to be the main attorney because he doesn't have a lot of experience on television, and that -- he sort of referred to that although not to the lawyer specifically last week when we were in the oval office and asked him if he wanted a long or a short trial. and there's obviously been some comments from senators like lindsey graham advocating for a short one, but the president may have a preference for a longer one and more of a show. >> scott, if you look at it, did the comey i'm sorries help or her democrats, and when you see pam bondi, that also gives you a

we heard on sunday from white house adviser pam bondi, the former attorney general of the state of florida, who is advising the president on impeachment. she said that the president hopes the trial in the senate with republicans in the majority will make for a fair trial. >> so we weren't given a fair trial in the house at all. now it goes to the senate, and these senators -- the president deserves to be heard. we should be working hand in hand with them. the rules of evidence will apply. these are the senators who will decide if our president is impeached, which will not happen. we should and will work hand in hand with them. >> now, despite what pam bondi said there about the president wanting to be heard in a senate trial, there is no indication that the president will testify in that trial. in fact, senate republicans and the white house have started coalescing around this notion of a shorter trial that would have no witnesses. but just as that is happening, we've now heard from the senate minority leader, the top democrat in the senate, chuck schumer, and he is making his pitch for wh

we should and will work hand in hand with them. >> despite what pam bondi said there about the president wanting to be heard in a senate trial, there is no indication that the president will testify in that trial. in fact, senate republicans and the white house have started coalescing around this notion of a shorter trial that would have no witnesses. but just as that is happening, we've now heard from the senate minority leader, the top democrat in the senate, chuck schumer, and he is making his pitch for what he would like to see in a senate trial. and it involves witnesses. it involves subpoenaing documents. four key witnesses that senate democrats want senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and the republicans to agree to bring forward and subpoena in a senate trial. they are the white house chief of staff mick mulvaney, his senior adviser robert blair, the former national security adviser john bolton, as well as michael duffy, who is the associate director for national security programs. he's one of those officials who actually signed off on several of the documents relating to that

that gives you an indication, especially when you add up all the comments this morning from pam bondi as well as mitch mcconnell last night that there's going to be no daylight between senate republicans and this white house. regardless of o who ends up representing the president, will it be pat sip ocipollone. when you don't hear the word trial, that's an indication that this could potentially, i stress potentially, be dismissed before it gets to that phase. >> chuck, is that something we've seen before? >> well, this would be odd. david jolly made a very important point earlier. we shouldn't presume the outcome in the full house. theoretically enough democrats could defect and articles of impeachment would not ultimately approved. let's assume they are. senators must take a separate oath, another oath for them to sit in judgment of a president being tried for impeachment. you would hope that those senators, those jurors would abide do that oath, would be to listen to the evidence and render a judgment based on facts. the notion we wouldn't have a trial there is i think deeply proble

rob: special white house counsel pam bondi agreeing with james comey admission that he was wrong about fisa process. jillian: the so-called sloppiness falls on him. >> he's right the men and the women of fbi deserve much better than what they had, much better than what they had in james comey, the man was fired in disgrace, he must have read a different report than we all read, he presided over the fbi in times worse than what jay edgar hoover was at the fbi, that man led the fbi and it's unbelievable. the steele dossier was essential and essential to this report, it was fake, we know it was fake and he says that his people did nothing wrong and first of all, he was the leader, he was the one charged with briefing the president when in fact, he was spying on the president, that guy needs a lawyer, by the way. rob: right now unclear if the white house will pursue legal action against james comey, we will see. >> inspector general michael horowitz gearing up for new round of testimony in capitol hill, he will be grilled for second time on wednesday of his probe into the fbi's russia inve

pam bondi standing by. we begin with mike emanuel live on capitol hill where we're about to hear from leader mcconnell. good morning. >> good morning. plenty of drama on capitol hill. president trump weighing in writing this morning i got impeached last night without one republican vote being cast with the do-nothing dems on their continuation of the greatest witch hunt in american history. now the do nothing party want to do nothing with the articles and not deliver them to the senate. it is senate's call. the reason for the drama is the reason with speaker pelosi would announce impeachment managers after the votes last night but hinted she might not send the articles of impeachment over to the senate. >> i said we're not sending it tonight because it is difficult to determine who the managers would be until we see the arena in which we will be participating. that's all i said. i never raised the process. >> mitch mcconnell teased he will speak on the floor this hour about what he described as, quote, hous

here's pam bondy talk about just that. >> so we weren't given a fair trial in the house at all. now it goes e senate and these senators, the president deserves to be heard. we should be working hand in hand with them. the rules of evidence will apply. these are the senators who will decide if our president is impeached, which will not happen, we should and will work hand in hand with them. >> as you can hear there, what she's talking about when talking about fair trial in the senate is not an impartial one, but one instead that would favor the president because of the fact republicans would have control over a lot of the proceedings and the way it goes down including whether or not there are any witnesses brought forward. as this moves into a senate trial does not mean the president will be getting on the stand to testify in his own defense. that seems very unlikely. using his social media mechanisms as well as the white house messaging operation, continuing to attack this as a ho hoax. >> good to have you. now from the correspondents to the analysts, with me now is molly ball,

here with reaction, former florida attorney general pam bondi, florida congressman matt gaetz. m, i'll go to you and your legal expertise. he got the phone records from, what, phone company? >> sean, he needs to tread very carefully. right, attorney-client privilege. what he's doing, and that's why today in the white house, we wrote a letter, pat wrote a letter to nadler saying that nancy pelosi has already predetermined guilt. she's ordered them to go ahead with articles of impeachment, so why in the world would we participate in any of this sham? they need to drop it now. but if they don't, we wrote in our letter, you know what? if you don't do it fast, get it to the senate, where we can have a fair trial, because you know who we want to call? adam schiff. we want to call the whistleblower, and we want to call hunter biden, and don't you find it interesting, sean, that adam schiff won't even be presenting his report. he's having the lawyer, counsel do it instead of him. i wonder why he doesn't want to testify? ken starr presented his report, but adam schiff sure doesn't want t

. >> reporter: pam bondi is the florida who defended mitch mcconnell in shaping the trial. >> the presidentves to be heard. we should be working hand in hand with him. >> reporter: jake, you remember the trip that rudy giuliani made to ukraine last week where he told "the wall street journal" he got more information than the president could imagine. today, when the president was asked what had rudy giuliani told him about the trip, he said, quote, not much. >> one wonders how much of that information was accurate. kaitlan collins, appreciate that. >>> in world lead, rudy giuliani has given the clearest admission yet he worked to get the u.s. ambassador to ukraine marie yovanovitch removed from her position because she was hurting his, quote, investigation into the bidens. giuliani telling the new yorker i believed i needed yovanovitch out of the way, she was going to make the investigations difficult for everybody. rudy giuliani's self proclaimed fact-finding mission is being condemned today by anti-corruption activists in ukraine, and being applauded by the kremlin. rudy giuliani's efforts

you saw pam bondi doing hers yesterday. it's quite unlikely they'll go along with what the democratic senator is proposing, but he does have to meet with mcconnell this week and they'll have to come guaforward with what their proposal will look like. the question is whether mcconnell can appeal to the president and say, no, it's not in your favor to have these people questioned. >> john bolton, through his deputy fiona hill, on the record saying, i thought this was a drug deal. what's happening? he wanted no part of it, told his aides to tell his lawyers about it. mick mulvaney in that white house briefing said on camera, there was a quid pro quo. get over it. that's how we do things. then he tried to pull back. it's a counterbalance. so a lot of the weekend fwas spent on jeff van drew who may be a former house member before this all played out. he was already a no. conservative democrat already a no. facing a primary challenge as he looks for finality. >> a lot of republicans are troubled by what the president did -- >> li

>> yeah, in addition to all the work pam bondi laid out, the president is spending an awful lot of timeer, and following the impeachment proceedings on television and in the media. he actually broke records last week, the most tweets he has sent in his presidency, on some of those days and phones were buzzing every few minutes with a tweet and retweet from him, which i think speaks to the president's anxiety and his concern, grievances with the impeachment proceedings and the fact that this designation, becoming the third president to be impeached, is very near and very likely. >> i want to get your reaction to the latest fox news poll with regard to the president and abuse of office and obstruction of congress. 53% believing that the president abused his power of office. 38%, melanie, believe that he obstructed congress and 45% believe he committed bribery. obviously not an article of impeachment there. what do you make of the latest numbers from this fox news poll? >> these are not great numbers for the president. let's be clear. he took to twitter to bash fox news and their polling,

pam bondi, white house impeachment spokesman said they didn't get a fair trial in the house. of course, there's no trial in the house. you have a trial in the senate. the president is asking for witnesses in sort of the maga world, wants to drag in the whistle-blower, hunter biden, joe biden and everybody related to them. then you have mitch mcconnell who are thinking straight, who knows the witnesses will boomerang on the president and say throw those articles on the floor, hear lawyer arguments. we don't need witnesses after everyone has been telling us they need witnesses and due process and to tell his side of the story. it's not a vindication story. it's a distraction. it's a way to muddy up joe biden again. but there's powerful forces that want that. mitch mcconnell seems to have convinced the white house but he has to get all the way to january, keeping the president on board. >> 51 republicans against -- here is what fiona hill said that john bolton did. >> specific instruction was that i had to go to the lawyers, to john isenberg for national security council to basi

former florida attorney general pam bondi, now working with a white house on impeachment said, the report is troubling. >> i think the american people really should be terrified that they could fabricate, falsify emails, lie, and omit exculpatory evidence in order to continue this witch hunt against the president of the united states. >> democrats also links the horowitz report with the impeachment inquiry, saying the report proves it was russia and to not ukraine that was meddling in the 2016 election. as he pointed out at the top, bret, the president is eagerly awaiting the next shoe to drop, from prosecutor john durham, who disagreed with the horowitz report, completes its investigation. bret? >> bret: that was fascinating. john roberts, thank you. let's get some insight into the impeachment hearing and the ig report from texas are public and congressman john ratcliffe, who serves on both the intelligencey committees. thank you for coming here it live. we appreciated. we'll ask about impeachment first. is it a foregone conclusion that the house will vote to impeach president trump? >>

and pam bondi, who is one of the people working on communications here at the white house as it relates to impeachment, has said no final decision has yet been made. also worth noting, andrea, the president's outside attorney rudy giuliani was here at the white house today. we couldn't get any confirmation from white house officials if he was specifically meeting with president trump. i've reached out to giuliani to see if he would give us a readout of any meetings he may have had at the white house. we know he was in ukraine trying to dig up dirt on the bidens from ukrainian officials there. >> we see him walking under an umbrella, a rainy day in washington. chris matthews, a rainy day for the president. this is an historic moment. he's trying to say it's a sham, it doesn't matter, but the fact is, it's only the third time in american history, 242 years, that an american president is going to be impeached. >> he's trying to make the best of it. the silver lining for him is it's the politics of grievance that got him elected. the cultural elite that hillary clinton represents. this wasn

thank you. >> bill: before they drop the gavel i want to bring in pam bondi and get reaction. i think we'll be interrupted in a moment. how do you score the week? >> i score it great for the white house and for president trump because again you heard that earlier, they have no crime because no crime was ever committed. this has been a hit job on president trump since day one since before he was sworn into office. that's why they aren't even charging him with a crime. abuse of power? it's absurd and obstruction of congress? it's not even a close call here. >> bill: there is a suggestion as we move to the senate the president might prefer a long, drawn-out trial. are you resolved on that yes or no? >> this has been a sham from day one, a witch hunt. they held secret hearings in the bunker, the president didn't get to defend himself. so that's why he believes that -- we all believe he will get a fair trial in the senate and why he wants to be heard. >> bill: we'll bring you back for that. chairman nadler now gaveling. >> point of order. i want to make a point of order against con

but what concerns me the most when you hear mitch mcconnell and lindsey graham and pam bondi today, thes democracy, at this republic. and i fear that they don't realize it is not easily replaceable. they're not tearing down democrats when they do this. they're tearing down the only institutions of democracy we've had over the past 200 plus years. >> brendan, what's your take on republican leadership proclaim coordination with the white house as this impeachment moves forward? >> yeah, you know, i'm not terribly surprised. i don't think there's any process in the senate that does not end with the president being acquitted. i think that's pretty obvious. the president has done a remarkable job of convincing gop base voters that the fix is in, that democrats were out to get them from the start, and so there's really no risk of any republican senators, maybe outside of mitt romney, voting for him. so, you know, republicans have been pretty well coordinated all along, i don't think it's terribly surprising that when you get to this point that they're continuing to do that. and i think mitch

here's pam bondy from the white house. >> why would we participate in this of this sham? they need to drop it now. if they don't, we wrote in our letter, you know what, if you don't do it fast, get it to the senate, where we can have a fair trial -- because you know who we want to call? adam schiff. we want to call the whistleblower. and we want to call hunter biden. adam schiff won't even be presenting his report? he's having the lawyer, the counsel do it instead of him? wonder why he doesn't want to testify. ken starr presented his report but adam schiff sure doesn't want to present his. if this goes to the senate, we want to hear from adam schiff. >> we'll stay on top of this all morning as well. devin nunes will be here with us later this morning. >> why would you be involved in the house trial which is already slanted against you when you can bring your evidence in the senate. >> adam schiff made a mistake when he held the hearings in the skiff, selectively released information, didn't bring republicans into the process and in return he lost them. he lost the ability
