six days after choosing radcliffe. before leaving for his new jersey home, he talked about what is now the 35th time he has withdrawn a possible nomination often because his choices were not thoroughly vetted. >> they felt that congressman radcliffe was being treated unfairly. i asked him, do you want to go through this or do you want me to do something else? he thought about it. a lot of times you do a very good job. not always. >> radcliffe tweeting saying, i i do not wish for a national security and intelligence debate. >> serving on the house intelligence committee and officials saying radcliffe was disengaged. >>> also new, a majority of the house democrats are now publicly supporting an impeachment inquiry. in a new statement, house speaker pelosi is saying, quote, no present or future president can dishonor the oath of office without being held accountable." let's talk about the radcliffe story first. there appears to be some resist tense from his own party? >> as the president acknowledged, there was resistance

congressman john radcliff forced to withdraw. >> i felt that congressman radcliff was being treated very unfairly. he is too good. he doesn't deserve it. >> trump blaming the media. but the truth is that republican senators had serious concerns about radcliff's qualifications. gop leadership never came out to support his nomination. gop members called the trump white ho impassioned defense of president trump in the mueller hearing. >> americans need to know this as they listen to the democrats and socialists on the other side of the aisle as they do dramatic readings from in report that volume two of in report was not authorized unthe law. to be written. >> it's all part of what one gop source tonight calls trump as shi blank show. according to the course republicans are quote all tired of trying to tying shi blank show. another part of the show trump bloating that the news elijah dumbing's home was wrecken in. bad news exclamation . .baltimore house of luge cummings robbed. too bad. days after the president's tweet rant against consumings where he called cummings a racist and called the

he is not going to put forth john radcliffe's name to be the director of national intelligence. that was something he talked about earlier this week. there has been some push back from the hill and the media, and the president deciding this would not be the nomination he would make. your thoughts on that? >> reporter: well, texas is a state, as will hurd, will hurd and john radcliffe both from there. maybe they need him in texas. i don't know of any of the details but republican retirements in texas, there have already been three. if losing radcliffe potentially is something republicans want to do. >> dana: that's an interesting take. we're just getting this news. we don't know the back of that. but let's keep that in mind. peter doocy is the one who pointed that out. tell me the last word to you about concerns for the republicans about retirements in general for the house. it's natural to have some, if they decide not to run again, but are they worried they could put their potential win of the house in jeopardy if they lose more people? >> there is concern about that, but repub

radcliff got his job because he looked the part.npartisan way, just what are you if you're a good manager. you try to hire and retain topnotch people and you try to make sure the best people get the job and then what do you do if you're mistaken? you take the responsibility yourself and try to grow. what does donald trump say? he says i had a candidate who wasn't competent, who we didn't vet and it's the media's fault and then turns around and says to the media but i'm very wily and i let you vet for me. >> president trump relies on rallies to fire up his base. he had one in cincinnati this week but has political theater become too predictable for the president? speaker pelosi under pressure as a majority of the house democratic caucus now calls for impeachment. e house democratic caucus now calls for impeachment. >>> this is "up" i'm david gura and the list of democrats calling partner impeachment is getting longer and yet speaker nancy pelosi seems unmoved. undeterred by the growing pressure from her caucus, speaker pelosi has urg

remember john radcliffe is a three term congressman who most don't know and who has hardly any foreigno we here at cnn have dug into what he said behind closed doors as well as fox news with his many appearances on that network and his comments reveal someone who's a fierce defender of the president, extremely skeptical of the mueller investigation and of the intelligence community that he wants to lead. take a listen. >> think about that. a dossier funded by the democrats, pedaled through the obama intelligence community, falsely verified by the obama justice department, then sold to the american people by those very same elected democrats. there's been so much focus on the fbi and department of justice, martha, but a lot of the questions that remt late toe origins of this go to the cia. >> and all these past comments are coming to light as radcliffe is having to defend himself against accusations he's had in his rÉsume. specifically one line of his bio that says as a u.s. attorney in texas he put terrorists in prison. we've done a search of court records. we couldn't have any cases o

with radcliffe out, the question becomes who will replace him ? certainly sets to be the talk of chatter in the intel world. radcliffe was a front runner, and many people were thinking it would be a done deal, so this is a surprise. cirilli, thank you for jumping on that news for us. we will bring you president trump's comments on eu trade in washington as soon as he makes an appearance. all of this means that there's a lot of factors weighing on markets this friday. trade concerns are top of mine, with u.s. economic data. jobsyers added 164,000 last month, shy of estimates but in line with consensus. the mile -- meanwhile, the 3.7%.oyment rate held at let's bring in noel corum -- noelle koran from invesco. what is most consequential in terms of how you position your portfolio? elle: we are thinking more long-term, so the fed is more focused from here. after the fed meeting -- i do not want to get too much in the weeds, but the front end of the curve had some price cuts out flattened10's significantly. that is telling a pretty big story. it is tel

radcliff was put forward. he had almost no intelligence experience.ng on his resume. he never prosecuted a terrorism case. republicans had already been skeptical of him. many don't know who he is even though he's a house republican who was on television during the mueller hearings. it turned out he wasn't going on trips with the house intelligence community. all of that plus his sort of uncertainty whether he wanted to subject himself to this added up to the end of that. >> and part of the concern and senator warner spoke to this, that he was so critical of the russia investigation and the fact that intelligence officials have said look, russia's currently trying to meddle in the u.s. election. >> he was the worst nightmare of people who feared donald trump would put in a political lackey who had been smearing robert mueller and the russia investigation. there is a chance to set the table. there's a boomlet going on right now for sue gordon, the principal deputy, a long time cia officer has a lot of support on the hill and the community. until a few h
