let's get more on all of this with democratic congressman eric swalwell of california. he's start with impeachment. are you expecting to learn who the impeachment managers will be? >> can't say. i don't know the answer to that. i can say the expectation is the majority leader, mitch mcconnell will tell what you say the parameters are. what arena we'll be in and assure the american people they'll have a fair trial. i saw a poll today where 66 percent of persons are saying they want john bolton to testify. he's a relevant witness. in trials relevant witnesses testify. >> will you sit on the house intelligence committee and the chairman, adam schiff, said he is considering a subpoena for the former security adviser. do you think that will happen from the house? >> he and i and the committee don't want it to come to that. we would like to see assurances. >> is he not really considering it? >> he is. what he is saying is that ideally john bolton would be called in the senate. the proper venue but if not, we're not going to rule out getting john bolton's testimony. just decla

and joining me now is eric swalwell who serves on the intelligence and judiciary committees and was runningdent yourself this year. first of all, what do you know about this recent report? >> not enough, andrea. that's the problem is that myself and especially the gang of eight were not told either. but it's clear that russia is still listening. russia is still attacking. and as far as i see it now, knowing that this president in the past has invited, welcomed and planned to benefit as a candidate from russia's help, if he does not condemn this, i and many americans will hold him as complicit in any attack on any candidates that seek to benefit donald trump. >> congressman, one of the things that was stunning about this, we first learned it from the "new york times," just as rachel maddow was going on the air last night, she had both senator schumer and adam schiff, who both are members of the gang of eight, the top eight leaders in both parties who are supposed to be notified of critical intelligence, and they read about it in the "new york times." how can the administration defend the int

joining me now, democratic member of the house intelligence committee, congressman eric swalwell.nk you for coming in. >> thank you for having me back. >> you were briefed in a classified setting and since the president put this out there, and mike pompeo has said that -- said that the threat was two embassies including embassies, did they tell you there was a threat to u.s. embassies in your briefing? >> so it is not confusing to me, kate, so i can't go into specific details, what i can tell you is consistently in the multiple briefings i received on this, they have not shown imminen imminence, but they have also now consistently shown that the president, whether it is on russia, ukraine, or iran, with this recent wall street journal reporting, puts his interests above america's interests. it is wall street journal reporting seems to be more consistent with who donald trump is, over the holidays, gop senators who would be crucial to him for the impeachment trial were urging him to take actions in iran and that's connected to what he did. that is -- >> congressman, congressman, si

many thought we would see shawn patrick maloney, eric swalwell. >> no, i was not surprised that they're on. i think the speaker, i worked closely with her, she's good at understanding the roles that various members of congress play. i think two members that you mention will play a huge role in terms of communicating to the public and cable news, network news. i think that this group of her choices represents the way she wants to communicate the seriousness of the case. i think representative garcia, for example, was a judge. so she understands judicial proceedings, val demings was a sheriff in new orleans. i think this is a smart set of choices, other members will play roles they do and the speaker will expect them to. >> if these are workhorses, not show horses, given all of the information that's come out in the last few days, do you think we will see more republicans in the senate start to bend and say we need to hear from more witnesses? >> depends how the managers present their case, how well they do. i think we're skipping ahead to witness question without seeing what kind of case
