always has been. >> final question, congresswoman sewell. they had been stonewalling you but they have released two damning documents in two days. do you expect you'll be able to get more? >> you know, they only released it, chris, because they were forced to release it. it's clear that there was this whole scheme has been going on for months by the trump administration, that donald trump wanted to dirt on biden. and the fact that the state department and white house officials knew about it and chose to put the readout in a separate server just to me shows how complicitous they are. so i think it's really important that we got on the record that the office of odni thought, first of all, that the whistle-blower was credible, that he did everything rip and appropriate, that he totally said to us he didn't think he was a political hacker. i think it's really important that we don't get caught up in trump's fairy tale and that we don't let him divert attention away from the real source of the problem, and that is an extreme abuse of presidential

two members of the house intelligence committee, republican will hurd and democrat terry sewell will join us, plus democratic senator chris murphy will be here along with our political panel, just ahead only "face the nation". >> good morning, and welcome to "face the nation" from capitol hill. it has been a mind-boggling week of developments in the whistle blower case near washington. each new revelation brings more questions. we will be talking today with key lawmakers from both sides of the aisle as well as then thhistleblower call a central figure in the case, president trump's personal attorney rudy giuliani. >> there is a sharp political divide among americans on whether or not there should be an impeachment inquiry. a cbs news national poll just out says more than half, 55 percent of americans say there should be an impeachment inquiry into the president. that includes 87 percent of democrats and the 23 percent of republicans. independents are split. 42 percent of americans say he deserves to be impeached over the ukraine controversy, 36 percent say the president does not. and

sewell: my concern, i think it is a valid one. what has happened with this whistleblower episode, it will have a chilling effect. i want to ask you, have you given direction to this whistleblower, that he can, in congress, whene the president called the whistleblower a political hack and suggested that he or she was potentially disloyal to the country, you remain silent, i am not sure why, but i think that adds the chilling effect. clear, you seems shall, everybody has a role to play. the process seems clear. part of it includes you directing the whistleblower of his or her protected rights. can you confirm that you directed at whistleblower that he or she can come before congress? director maguire: there are several questions there. one, i do not know the identity of the whistleblower. two, now that the complaint has come forward, we are working with his counsel in order to be able to provide them with security clearance. my question is pretty simple. can you assure this committee and the american public that the whistleblower is

. >> cnn's brian todd is in sewell's point, florida, just north of west palm beach. brian, that area surrounded by two rivers and the ocean. you said the hurricane is starting to push all that water up into town. >> reporter: that's right, jake. this is an example of it. we are on sewell's point road. that is one of the rivers you talked about. the indian river lagoon. you have the st. lucie river kind of catty corner to this and c conventi con converges with the atlantic ocean. the water was coming straight from the river into the street and then it goes down these streets here. we encountered ten square blocks of this area that were flooded. and we did ask a lady who lives down this way whether this is normal after a normal rainstorm. she said this is not normal. th these streets are not normally flood today this degree. they are dealing with this though, as tom mentioned, these bonds are pulling away. we are still getting hit with some of those bands. as tom said, this is saturation. this area can't take much more of this rain. this is not well equipped to eel wi

sewell. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized for two minutes. ms. sewell: madam speaker, this is a sobering moment in our nation's history when the rule of law and constitutional duty requires congress to move swiftly to protect our national security and the integrity of our democracy. in my time on the house intelligence committee, i have been amazed and grateful for the work of our intelligence community performing every day. we hold these men and women accountable to the rule of law and expect them to adhere to the principles of our constitution. in return, those great americans expect their elected leaders to be held accountable to the same standards. above all, their commander in chief. president trump's refusal to adhere to the whistleblower statute and his unwarranted attacks against one ever these professionals flies in the face of that compact. the statute is clear, madam speaker. the director of the national intelligence shall provide the intelligence community -- committee with all whistleblower complaints, especially those that the i.g.

sewell, for five minutes. madam speaker, today i rise to honor the remarkable life and legacy of mrs. juanita abernathy, a selfless leader in the struggle for civil rights whose direction and tireless engagement was an integral part in the movement of civil rights and voting rights in america. she sadly passed earlier this month. from montgomery bus boycott to the marches from selma to montgomery and onward to washington, d.c., and beyond mrs. abernathy played a key role in our nation's proudest instance of civic engagement. she fought alongside her husband, reverend dr. aber natty, and her dear friends and fellow act text of the movement, reverend dr. martin luther king jr. and mrs. coretta scott king. while many male leaders of the civil rights movement have rightfully become household names, the women of the movement who struggled and sacrifices were equal and participation was necessary, have not enjoyed the same recognition. . she was a brilliant, courageous leader in her own right and oday we recognize h

alabama congresswoman terri sewell, congresswoman, welcome. >> thank you so much, margaret. >> brennan: now the accusation is that democrats were chomping at the bit to impeach but you say you were actually very reluctant to move ahead with this. >> look, it is not because i didn't think that there were really unpresidential behavior by this president from moment one, but because i was worried that it would get us sidetracked from other more important items for the american people, but i do believe that we have crossed a rubicon here. i do believe that this whistleblower allegation is so serious it gets to the very heart of our nation's democracy, the integrity of our elections, and if any district understands that, it is my district, alabama seventh congressional district which was the civil rights district where people died, fought, bled fortis are at ques. wh pnt of the united states asks a foreign leader for a favor and then withholds millions of dollars of foreign aid in order to solicit interference in our election, i don't think it gets more important than that. >> brennan: as y

. >> that was terry sewell speaking with me of growing concerns of what this means for whistleblower.re seeing right now will have a chilling effect for whistleblower seeshl since president trump was at the united nation yesterday saying this. >> i wonder who's the person that gave the whistleblower and information? >> you know the old days when we were sport with spies and treason. >> we newsed to do it ditly. >> jobbing me now john, it is so good for you to come on. we ask the obvious question. what did you think when you heard the president say anyone give b the type of information to a whistleblower, that you know what used to happen to this spy, it is suggesting it could be treason. >> whistleblowers have been central to the fronting of our democracy since the beginning. we had strong support from leaders of both parties. we had sailors witnessing work crimes and torturing a prisoner. their commondor threw them in jail. >> pass the first blo blow -- whistleblower. to see this president den grading whistle employer and shooting the mes censs messenge counter productive. >> what us

it's still continuing here at sewell's point. and behind me you can see the storm surge still pretty strong. all of our forecasters telling us it's about 1 foot over normal stages. we're going to show you a bit about the homes here in danger of the storm surge and how close they are to the shoreline. that house there has been boarded up but you can see how close. houses like these are going to be in some danger, and you can see these people boarded up and they took off. another factor here is we are at the convergence of two large rivers and the ocean. you can see again look how violent the storm surge here is, and it could get worse. two large rivers and an ocean, bodies of water absoarirbing a of that storm surge and bringing it over here. this is the causeway, and it's closed. what local officials are telling us is that if conditions get worse over the next 24 hours or even after that, they're not going to be able to get first responders over that privilege and to the island if people are stuck. a lot of people are chosen to r

. >> i just want to offer, in the doug jones race, you have to give credit to congresswoman terry sewellk woman who built a coalition in the state of alabama. she recruited black women validaters across the country. without her, i don't think doug jones would have made it. still look at the exit polls, it was still an uncomfortably kro close race. black women saved an accused pedophile from roaming the senate, but still very thin margins after that race. >> fascinating conversations, thank you so much. >>> in a few moments, young people will be hearing from people getting lifesaving medical treatment in the united states. the medical deferred action program as it's called, allows people who live in other countries to come here and stay for medical treatment. the trump administration is trying to shut it down. before the hearing starts, house democrats hosted some people who are receiving treatment. they've already received deportation threats including a 14-year-old girl named serena who has a life-threatening heart condition. she spoke just a few moments ago. >> i miss everything back h

i want to go to cnn's brian todd who's in sewell point, florida, to get a sense of how things are there. brian. >> reporter: right, john. this scene right here is the reason why people, officials from this area up to jacksonville are telling citizens not to let down their guard, do not return from evacuation because of the storm surge. this area right here, this jetty out of sewall's point, we just talked to a local police officer. he said normally this is three or four feet below what you're seeing now. this is very high storm surge. he said you can usually walk down to the beach and we're just getting sprayed as the storm comes this way. a lot of the outer bands are hitting us intermittently but they're often very strong surges when they hit like this. we're going to get some rain here soon. this area over here, that's sewall's point, the town of sewall's point. about 75% of that town has evacuated according to the local police chief. but you can see this is the indian river lagoon and how low it is to some of these houses. we've already seen some flooded roads and they are telling pe

sewell. >> thank you mr. chairman in director maguire thank you so much for being here but i want to turn to what i fear may be one of the most damaging long-term effects of this whistleblower episode and that is the chilling effect that it will have on others and government who may have witnessed misconduct but now may be afraid to come forward to report it. sir i am worried that government employees and contractors may see how important this situation has played out and decide it's not worth putting themselves on the line. the fact that a whistleblower followed all of the proper procedures to report misconduct and then the department of justice white house seems to avoid in to keep the complaint hidden his problematic surf. i want to know whether or not you see how problematic this will be and having a chilling effect on members of the iac that you are sworn to represent and ostensibly protect. >> congresswoman i don't disagree with what you said. i have endeavored to transfer to the intelligence community
