the white house statement, let me read it once again from stephanie grisham, the press secretary.e of impeachment inquiry in the house judiciary committee has reached its shameful end. he was offered lots of opportunities to participate, him personally, as well as the white house counsel, in the house procedures. >> one thing we learned here is that talking points don't die in the face of facts. that one has stuck and it will continue to stick. the whole thing about the secret stalinesque process in the basement, even though there were equal representation from republicans there, or even the essential facts of the charge here. for instance, the ukrainians never knew about the delay of aid. i heard half a dozen republican congressmen say that yesterday, even though those same congressmen were in the room when they heard sworn testimony from a defense department official say, in fact, they were asking way back in july. so facts don't penetrate the talking points or apparently the positions here. and that's ---ion, that's the kind of process we saw at the end of the day. >> there is

stephanie grisham never gives pressers. and so the stone walling they have done, that i think is criminal, it is maybe the most dangerous thing that has happened. what donald trump did was horrible, but it could set a precedent that could be really bad. >> before we go, if they can call whomever they want and hunter biden has to show up, should democrats start to rethink their strategy in terms of not just saying listen he doesn't have to come, could they say it did stink, i wish he didn't do that. you would be hard pressed to find anyone that says i think it made sense that he had that job. >> i don't think that having hunter biden testify will be a total deal killer to impeachment and is going to net donald trump some huge sweeping victory where everyone all of his sins are atoned. i think hunter biden will say anything like that. it doesn't have much to do with him right now except that his dad is running for president against donald trump. >> coming up, a question that we're asking often on this show. are you better off

i don't know what stephanie grisham does. i don't know if she has a real job. certainly not a press secretary, but there are people who certainly look at that and say, he makes it really difficult for himself when he does that. but they're not in control of what he does. >> i do want to move on to the other big news overnight. we just got a little add on to that big news is nancy pelosi suggesting she's going to wait to transmit the articles of impeachment to the senate which could have the effect of delaying that trial. >> is this the big news -- >> also the big news the president was impeached. 800-point font. but the house majority whip, i was asking him how long will you be willing to wait? he said he'd be willing to wait forever. >> that was a fascinating interview. congressional leadership. and he did not say that, you know, we haven't really made up our minds about this. he indicated there have been conversations and he'd wait it out on the senate. there's a real question about whether that increases their leverage with mitch mcconnell to get the witness

. >> harris: white house press secretary stephanie grisham joins me now. thank you for being here live. >> thank you. >> harris: this is a development from the attorney general to break from the i.g.on the findings of the report that they were justified to open up an investigation into whether or not there was any connection between the trump campaign and russia. >> correct. i.g. has lower threshold opening an investigation f. they hear from somebody something could be going on, you can start an investigation, the threshold is low. from there, the i.g. report showed the investigation continued and continue itd and continued and toefdz contrary showing nothing wrong being done by trump campaign. that was ignored repeatedly and documents were illegally altered by an f.b.i. attorney and the fisa report repeatedly lied to. 17 errors, big errors that have ruined people's lives. >> harris: the ramp up has been the investigation among republicans that this was going to be a bombshell, this was going to put democrats, those who might at least vote in that way, ins

joining us tonight, white house press secretary stephanie grisham. good to have you with us. know the white house has to be well pleased by ginsburg's hold. where does it go from here. is it simply a matter of waiting for the court to decide? >> i think it's exactly right. it's a matter of waiting. we are pleased with that. i think that was the right thing to do. lou: the right thing to do, the president's attorney, pat cipollone. i think he wrote something very correct, telling the democrats to stuff it on the judiciary committee until they can find a legitimate process they might want to get involved in. because this is not it. >> it's been a circus to watch. and chairman nadler fell asleep. this whole thing is crazy. the american people know what's going on. they know the job numbers today. 266,000 jobs added in november because of this president's policies. he was just in nato working on behalf of the country. the president continues to work and the democrats try to punch at anything they can to stop him from winning in 2020. lou: the level of response from the left, even

time minutes after that vote in the house judiciary committee the white house press secretary stephanie grisham issuing this statement this desperate charade of an impeachment inquiry in the house judiciary committee has reached its shameful end the president looks forward to receiving in the senate the fair treatment and due process which continues to be described as fully denied to him by the house again that coming from the white house press secretary stephanie grisham and just the last few moments we're told according to poor porter here at the white house that the president has also been speaking about this watching carefully to see what he may have said in the oval office as he greeted the president of paraguayan what we're hearing is that he once again has called this a sham a hoax and also that the people are disgusted there's no question this is a president that is taking this very personally this is a stage on his refutation of blemish on the agenda that he's believes he was elected in 2016 to put in place for the american public he's already made the case that this is something that

party has never been so affronted but they've never been so united as they are right now. >> stephanie grishamations director. she joins us from washington. stephanie, good morning. thanks for being here. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> our ben tracy reported in the first half hour that sources in the white house told him that the president was concerned about what impeachment means for his legacy. is he concerned? >> well, he's talked about that before. he has said nobody wants impeachment on their resume. so i think that's not a surprise to anyone. however, this impeachment in particular is going to go down in history as one that was done on partisan, political lines. and it's concerning for future presidents, whether they'll be republicans or democrats because if this is the standard that we're going to have, presidents can be impeached by just having a policy dispute. and that's not good for the country. >> you seem to recognize the gravity of the moment in an angry letter. people called it scathing, irate, to speaker nancy pelosi. how can he move forward? given the way he appare

stephanie grisham said it was laughable, this request from chuck schumer, asking for officials like the former national security adviser john bolton, acting chief of staff mick mulvaney to testify. the white house saying this is a sign that the democrats don't have a case to convict and remove the president from office. one thing that the white house did not say is, yes, you can have your witnesses, which is why people like chuck schumer is saying what does the white house have to hide? talking to my source this is evening, there is a view inside the white house that what chuck schumer did earlier today was essentially respond to the president and other republicans saying they want to see hunter biden, the whistle-blower testify as if chuck shoomer is saying if you want to bring in your witnesses we'll want to bring in our witnesses, which means it will be in the interest of both sides to have a speedier trial. >> any sense that the president wants a longer, more drawn-out trial or a shorter one? we've heard conflicting things. >> yeah. anderson, i think he pines for one. i think he wou

we heard before that from republicans and stephanie grisham spoke with the white house who also sent out a statement saying today was a good day for president trump but a bad day for the democrats. only thing the liberal professors established determined nadler's hearing is local bias against the president and did nothing to change the fact of despite weeks of hearings in the process that the president did nothing wrong and were taking your phone calls and hear what you had to say about today's hearing. we'll continue to watch as lawmakers come through the hallways and capitol hill in case any of them speak to reporters out there. we did have told be on the line will get him to finish up his comments. toe be, are you still with us? like >> i said, i want to point out the biased of the so-called witnesses that the democrats brought forward. they brought such contempt for a president in my whole life and the threat those witnesses did. one of them was a self confessed democrat and they shouldn't even be taken place. there is no evidence per se that will show anything that the president

press secretary stephanie grisham sent a statement out. let me read it in part.the announcement of two baseless articles of impeachment does not hurt the president, it hurts the american people, who expect their elected officials to work on their behalf to strengthen our nation. she goes on to say, the president will address these false charges in the senate and expects to be fully exonerated, because he did nothing wrong. >> we're joined now by eli honig, ross garber, and david gergen back with us. david gergen, tell me about the politics of the last 90 minutes in our country's history. >> a lot. the juxtaposition. >> nancy pelosi announcing those articles of impeachment and then perhaps preempting that point from stephanie grisham there, announcing a major trade deal to make the case to american voters, they are doing something for the american people. >> listen, i think it does go beyond politics, but the politics are pretty clear, and that is, this has been a major priority for president trump for this year and his critics say they don't like it, but they hav

where we are right now and in fact i've just got an update from the white house press secretary stephanie grisham in the last few moments where she has tweeted out that the president has arrived in battle creek michigan and she says well the dems meaning democrats blather on about appeasement president troposphere to speak directly to the american people i happen to attack somebody that i know inside that stadium who is a trump supporter i asked her what the mood is incent side is this historic vote comes down she says excitement everyone is ignoring the impeachment there with trump all the way certainly the white house officially is saying this is a sad and solemn day we heard there as we've been talking throughout the day republicans saying that they believe that this is a weapon izing of the impeachment process expect the president will make that argument as he has been doing on twitter throughout the day although when he left here he was quiet we expect that he's saving much of his feelings and some ations after watching these proceedings we're told in the white house residence off and on for

let's put that question to stephanie grisham.munications director. good morning, and merry christmas. >> good morning, and merry, merry christ.as ed: good to have you. what in the world is going on now? what's the white house view about what happens next here since nancy pelosi's holding back the articles? >> well, as the president has said, we're hoping for a very quick trial in the senate, which clearly that's not going to happen right now. it looks like, you know, the house democrats have thrown our country into chaos for absolutely no reason. they impeached a president who did absolutely nothing wrong, and now they don't have the guts to see it through and send it over to the senate. so we're in a holding pattern, obviously, which is unfortunate, because, again, it's put the country into chaos. pete: stephanie, i have to correct you because nancy pelosi did indeed deliver the articles of impeachment last night. watch. >> i brought you two gifts, mr. president. they're the articles of impeachment. >> oh, great give it to mitch

we did confirm that the president was watching these proceedings officially press secretary stephanie grisham telling us that it is in between his meetings but the president at one point tweeting in all caps he also one point to maintain what he has since the beginning of this impeachment inquiry i did nothing wrong this should never happen to another president again say a prayer well certainly someone who does pray a lot the vice president mike pence who is a devout christian he has been in battle creek michigan where the president is heading for his rally and he gave us a sense or a preview of what the president might say essentially defending the president and maintaining the president is the victim of partisan politics what's happening on capitol hill to do so a disgrace you know the truth is they're trying to impeach this president because they know they can't defeat this president. they're trying to run down this president because they know they can't run against our record they can't run against our results they're pushing this partisan impeachment because they know they can't stop you

the day started with the white house press secretary stephanie grisham saying, quote, the president will be working all day. he will be briefed by staff throughout that day, and could catch some of the proceedings between meetings." but he seemed to take in a lot of the debate -- tweeting and retweeting some 45 times before noon -- almost all about the impeachment debate. the tweets started a dawn. "can you believe that i will be impeached today," the president tweeted at 7:30 in the morning. "i did nothing wrong!" five hours later, just after speaker of the house nancy pelosi spoke on the house floor, the president vented in all caps -- "such atrocious lies by the radical left, do nothing democrats. this is an assault on america and an assault on the republican party!" >> so, let's get right to jon karl. and jon, the president has repeatedly called impeachment an ugly word, a disgusting word. he did not want this to happen, but it would appear, jon, that he is also ready for battle. >> reporter: impeachment clearly bothers him, david. but he is in battle mode. he'll be out, of course, a

white house press secretary stephanie grisham him was on fox news this morning. >>> we are not goingbe but as putting in the sham hearing that doesn't him and he writes. they get to choose alternative things. moving rules. >> reporter: late friday, the president's counsel announced that in ministrations will not be participating in the impeachment hearings. the judiciary german jerry nadler invited the white house to send witnesses. but that will not happen. the letter and part of a weed says that your page inquiry is completely baseless and has violated the basic principles of due process and from the mental fairness. that is from white house counsel on monday. the house judiciary committee will hold a formal hearing here accepting the report for the house intelligence committee. that will be 9:00 monday morning. report on capitol hill, david spot, fox news. >>> how a man with a umbrella from that a shooting. >>> witnesses described before san francisco police opened fire on a burglary suspect. >>> the fbi now investigating whether it's shooter into the attack at a naval air station

white house press secretary stephanie grisham has released a statement saying... buckler is in washington. this is dramatic. the press conference was dramatic and the reports are dramatic for isn't really a ny reports are dramatic for isn't really any different to what we were hearing from adam schiff a week two ago? at the heart of this, all of these accusations have been led out. some of them in public hearings, shown on television across the united states. but there is something about a 300 page report that essentially details all of what the democrats say are the actions of the democrats say are the actions of the president that warrant an impeachment inquiry into the first place. we go through it, they accuse him of intimidating witnesses, trying to stop others from giving testimony, and also come at the heart of it, the fact that he used his position to try and abandon us foreign policy to benefit him from a personal political point of view. specifically, with the eyes on the 2020 election. certainly, that is going to be effective in trying to push this forw

saying that there was no pressure now this isn't accurate by the white house press secretary stephanie grisham who sent out a more polished statement saying that this was a baseless and partisan attempt to undermine a sitting president and to overturn the votes of 63000000 americans calling these articles out early baseless well it doesn't look like the president is going to change his tactic as we see this heading towards eventually a vote in the house of representatives and let a trial in the u.s. senate where we also see this fight going on though is in the court of public opinion the democrats did have a sort of difficult calculation to make in all of this would that if they pressed forward with the articles of peaches with this potentially backfire on them and where we're seeing some key polling right now in 3 battleground states the president won in 2016 is that since this has occurred the support for the president in those battleground states support for president trump has actually gone up. committee thank you for that for now that is the committee how can live in washington d.c. . wel

. >> stephanie grisham bar is a phrase from michelle obama, she says when democrats go to the president's high. >> it continues to be a crazy sham, continues to be something i don't think any of us understand. the great thing about this whole thing is when nancy pelosi goes low our poll numbers keep going high so that is a fantastic thing. the people leading this crazy effort, nancy pelosi and schumer and the likes of them will go down in history as the people who weapon eyes to impeachment and this is going to go on for years to come. other presidents cannot get impeached over policy disputes, we will see what happens, you got to get it over to the senate because the impeachment isn't going to be valid. it's not going to be legitimate in the eyes of the american people and once it goes to the senate will be exactly what we have been saying all along, the president did absolutely nothing wrong. >> congress back in session on january 3rd. >> the first photo is released of heidi broussard's 3-week mac daughter being reunited with her family overnight. child protective services returning bab

this yeah reacting almost immediately 1st with the statement by his white house press secretary stephanie grisham calling the process a sham surely there after yet another visit by a foreign leader overshadowed in the oval office by domestic politics the u.s. president lashing out at his critics who have been involved in this process claiming no wrongdoing also arguing that this is a process that if his political rivals aren't careful could eventually be weaponized against them as well. it's a witch hunt it's a sham it's a hoax nothing was done wrong 0 was done wrong i think it's a horrible thing to be using the tool of impeachment which is supposed to be used in an emergency and it would seem many many many years apart to be using this for a perfect phone call where the president of that country said there was no pressure whatsoever didn't even know what we were talking about it was perfect the relationship is perfect i've done much more for them than obama did for them it's a scam it's something that shouldn't be allowed. now we know that there will be the full vote vote in the house of represe

lou: joining us tonight, white house press secretary stephanie grisham with reaction to what has been busy and strange day in washington, d.c. great to have you with us. first, the president's reaction to these two charges which have already in point of fact been rebutted by just common sense and the evidence. >> he said it as he was walking out to marine one, the democrats have nothing. the two articles of impeachment they put together are just grasping at straws. obstruction of congress means they didn't play nice with us and they are angry. abuse of power, the dems have been abecausing power for months now. the only evidence they have is the toronto script showing no wrongdoing. the only two articles of impeachment they were able to produce were these two. lou: when you look at it in terms of obstructing congress, all the president was doing was seeking for himself and for the members of his administration their legal rights. where do you find those? in court. and that takes time. it's preposterous what the democrats have put up as these two charges. >> the due process that was aff

jillian: let's look at a response from stephanie grisham, quote, democrats should be ashamed, donaldmp has done nothing but lead our country resulting in a booming economy, more jobs and a stronger military to name a few of his major accomplishments. we look forward to a fair trial in the senate. if it does go forward as it is right now, what do you think will happen when it gets to the senate? >> the democrats have no case but i expect this to be drawn out for an uncomfortable. go of time and nancy pelosi and company will regret this decision to speed forward with impeachment based on nothing but their disdain and dislike for the president. rob: we will see the horror with investigation looking into fisa abuse on monday and that could be a big day and you will hear from horwitz on wednesday. we expect to hear something like the fbi had some bad actors in it, and russian collusion. what do you make of that? what will you do with that? >> important to note the timing on this impeachment announcement, getting out in front of the horowitz reported interesting facts about the horowitz re
