the united states committee is an order and we have an interesting hearing today with all of our interest and participation here today and i'd like to say good afternoon to all of those of our guests that are gonna be very enlightening in the discussion from earlier today and the situation we have it's quite fluid that will help us get up to date which is difficult as fast as the situation is moving this hearing today is intended to assess the geopolitical and humanitarian impact of turkey's cross-border attack on u.s. interests in the middle east, determined how best to salvage u.s. interests moving forward and evaluate the state of u.s./turkey relations. before we talk about the current state of affairs in syria, it's important to recall the path that brought us here. to begin, the syrian civil war is a complex, multisided conflict that has drawn in russia, iran, the u.s. nato allies, and other entities. over the course of this eight-year-long conflict, syria's brutal dictator, ai bar shal ai said, with the support of russia and iran, has relentlessly bombed cities and towns across syri

committees around the world. whether haitian or somali or other group. how is this reorganization group, if at all, will greatly opportunities for you in terms of immigrant communities in the united states and perhaps committee gait through them to the mother country of origin or to other groups and is there any further need for amendment to smith mud to allow you to do more than you are doing now? >> to your first question a large part of a conversation and a focus on bringing data and insight and analytics to the core of how we operate is making all her medications and strategies audience centric. in designing campaigns and strategies around who we are trying to reach and influence. i think if we are thinking about how we will engage in certain communities or diaspora american or foreign it comes down to who our audience is ultimately the best way to reach them and we will lean on or reject and analytics. we do have an office of public engagement focused on communicating in the united states with communities who are interested in the state department or who are engaged in foreign policy so they are certainly integrated to how we think about communications but definitely a part of usin

committee names, abraham lincoln when he came on the committee, this was his committee assignment when he was in the united states congress. it's interesting, he became known as spotty because he was challenging the president where were the origins of the mexican american war, there's a great history of the committee an what it's been able to do. what's interesting is what changed when i left because the oversight and government reform committee changed and now nancy pelosi, elijah cummings changed the name of the committee, the committee on oversight and reform. see, democrats don't believe that government is the problem, they think it's a solution, government is all good, what you see now are hearings and a press to go after individual and individual corporations, that is not necessarily the purview of the united states congress. again, the committee is wide, probably the widest birth of any sort of jurisdiction, supreme court case that is we lay out here where oversight, wings were clipped back to try to get him on the straight narrows can look after government, we had hearings, for instance, mylan and pharmac

operation is just one example of the incredible determination and great skill of the united states military committee joins us now live from washington d.c. so a bit of a different tone and different message that compared to what the u.s. president was was messaging after the killing of baghdad the right. yeah so the u.s. president had very much a victory lap approach to his announcement of the death of the isolated what we're hearing from the defense secretary and also the chair of the joint chiefs of staff general milley is essentially that they recognize well the ice a leader has been killed what hasn't died is the ideology behind the eisel group so this is sort of something that they are projecting in their message will also giving forward the the details elaborating a little bit on the details of the operation that led to the death of abu bakar alba dotty what's important to note in all of this is some of the discrepancies even within the press conference that just wrapped up in the last hour or so sami specifically when it comes to the messaging the fact that the u.s. president had said with pa

believes strongly that he acted at all times in the best interests of the united states and he stands ready to answer the committee's questions fully and truthfully. his attorney says he traveled from brussels to appear this morning. stands ready to testify on short notice whenever allowed. state department has no comment. text messages submitted to three house committees show him working with the president's personal attorney rudy giuliani as he pushed for ukraine to investigate former president joe biden and also a conversation where the top american official in the u.s.

they interfered in the 2016 elections, and that was not isolated to the united states. this committee pointed out mr. putin's arsenal of attacking democratic countries in europe and the united states. he invaded and occupied, and still occupies, ukraine, in violation of helsinki accord. he is also occupying georgia and moldova. he has violated human rights of his own citizens, leading to the enactment of the magnitsky law not only in the united states but around the world. mr. chairman, we need a confirmed ambassador who will support our democratic principles and give hope to the voices in russia that stand up to the repressive regime of mr. putin. conclude with the nomination hearing that senator sullivan referred to, when the nominee told us that our greatest asset is the commitment toward the fundamental values expressed with our nation, the pursuit of happiness. at the heart of leadership in the world. i am grateful that mr. sullivan will step forward to take this challenge. sen. risch: i understand you have a commitment. >> i have a commitment also. >> you do. again, i want to th

committee names, abraham lincoln when he came on the committee and this was his committee assignment when he was in the united statesress it was interesting he became known as spotty because he was challenging me president where his origins of the mexican-american war. it is a great history of this committee and what's been able to do. what's interesting is what changed when i left because the oversight and government reform committee changed and now nancy pelosi elijah cummings change the name of committee it's just called the committee on oversight and reform. democrats don't believe government is a problem they think it's a solution to everything. they don't need to go look at what governments doing the government is is all good. what you see now are hearings and a press to go after individuals and individual corporations. that is not necessarily the purview of united states congress. the committee is the widest birth of any jurisdiction there are two supreme court cases we lay out more oversight wings were clipped back to try to get it on the straight and narrow witches look after government. we had hearings myl

committee is conducting a very robust investigation. we've never undertaken an investigation of this magnitude in the second oldest kennedy in the united states congress -- committee in the united states congress. we have received hundreds of thousands of pages of documents from boeing. they've been cooperative in providing the documents and agree that we could use those documents in the public hearing. and we have received tens of thousands of pages from the faa and we have conducted some hearings with the employees and we have others that we wish to interview. we are told we have to be in line behind the justice department, so those are still forthcoming. there are a lot of unanswered questions that we need to get to the bottom of. we know that a novel system took these two planes into an uncontrollable altitude after it triggered something to do with faulty sensors these were wired to the one sensor and in may be then acting administrator sat there and i asked them they said yes. then how could it have been approved to trigger a single point of failure and he had no answer to that. how could they approve it, how could the manufacturer do t

committee. probably helped write it now he is referring there to the complaints written by the whistleblower you've got a direct accusation from the president of the united states to the chair up the house intelligence committee say that he probably helped write this complaint a few sentences later he said he did write this complaint now this is an absolutely astounding accusation made by a sitting president so you can see once again this is an indication of trump's absolute fury on going fury at this particular process another note to mention as. well is president trump posed in this news conference and earlier when he was speaking to the finnish president use the term started off repeatedly he used the term stron script of his conversation with the ukrainian president the white house made very clear there is no transcript there is no. statement written by word for word it was essentially a memorandum containing the sense of a conversation not the detailed conversation ok m i can i thank you for that from washington d.c. so just a reminder over the past few hours we've heard increasingly sharp words being exchanged between donald trump and democrats nancy pelo

any of our assets that have been providing us intelligence whether now talk to the united states intelligence committee't rely on us when times get tough and we will abandon them the way the president has just abanded our kurdish allies. >> on impeachment, where does the senate stand? >> i support the investigation by the house and i'm just going to let the house move forward with the investigation. there is a lot of work that still needs too big done here in the senate that while we wait for that investigation to move on forward, we have a lot of work that we need to focus on for the maeamerican people. i'm working on a highway transportation bill, for example. we need to put money into lockes and dams on the mississippi. we need to help farmers who are in crisis right now. so let the investigation in the house move forward and in the meantime, the senate needs to do its job. we have a whole bunch of bills we should be passing here in the senate that mitch mcconnell won't let us vote on. things like universal background checks for people who buy guns, for example. i want to focus on doing the job here

set you free so it's not surprising that the committee wants to wants to hear and so the view of people like me is that he is an enemy of the united states i would hope that if he's ever brought back in front of a committee it would be part of a package that he was bringing being brought back to the united states also to face what i think should be criminal charges. since april 11th 2019 hearings have been ongoing at a court in westminster in london isaan supporters are demanding his release. and. the former ecuadorian consul to be done by as has also attended. you know not if you go they've notified julian that the charges against him justify his extradition . and have asked him if you'll oppose it. just about this year and he said yes. but the british are the closest allies of the us when it's a matter of occupying other countries or starting wars. embodied by east is that it's quite unlikely that the authorities will dare to deny the extradition request . on sea got on their sail to get him into the study so. julian asuncion is being held in belmarsh prison which some have called britain's guantanamo. jennifer robinson is one of the a

united states senate. you are the chairman of a committee that sort of oversees the activities with ukraine. d the united states among other positions you hold in the united states senate. we have this document that came out, president's phone call, a transcript of it. with the president of ukraine. back in july. people are trying to democrats in media in particular, say that president was seeking a quid pro quo. i don't read this in here, you have some back ground on this. you had a meeting with president and others in may this year. >> in just that transcript, i read, that i think it is a gracious phone call on part of the president. i went to ukraine in may 20. to attend the inauguration of president zelensky, i went with secretary perry, gordon sondland and kirk volcker. we were the delegation. we felt it was important coming back, we were impressed with zelensky, he thought it was important to meet with the president, get him supportive of ukraine. we had a meeting in oal office may 23, this year, making a cup points. and appoint a ambassador that could get strong bipartisan support, we

responsibility of the president of the united states to uphold our democracy and the constitution of the united states. >> you're on the senate judiciary committeeey general, former district attorney. i know that you consider this behavior to be an abuse of power and impeachable. is it also illegal? is there a criminal statute that the president is violating by calling on foreign powers, ukraine and now china, to investigate his political opponents? >> well, we'll see as the impeachment process proceeds, but i will say, jake, it is a classic case in terms of what he has been doing as it relates to the whistle-blower, in an attempt to suppress evidence and intimidate a witness, which is why i've also called on donald trump's twitter privileges to be revoked, because he has -- even as many other members of congress have indicated, he seems to be eliciting fear and threatening a witness to what could be a crime against america, our democracy and try to suppress that evidence. that is a classic example of a crime. >> i guess the question about -- i know you wrote to twitter and the ceo, jack dorsey, and asked him to take away the president's twitter

united states. these were congressional candidates as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars that allegedly were going to a pro-trump political action committee here in the united states. all, of course, is illegal for you to do because under u.s. law you're not allowed to donate foreign money into u.s. candidates. so that's how close they were, and the question now, obviously, not only how far does this go? we know that giuliani obviously was very tied to these men and you heard the president saying he had no idea who they were, but is that true? who else was involved in this? >> obviously a lot of questions and several pictures. obviously there are a lot of pictures with the president with a lot of people and these are repetitive events and this ties back for trump's attempt to get dirt from joe biden from ukraine. >> right. exactly. one of the broader questions that's being asked tonight, erin is whether or not the effort to smear joe biden was perhaps another influence operation, foreign influence operation itself. was it perhaps something that people we don't know about, perhaps the russians, people who are pro-russian business people in

county clerk , >> abraham lincoln, when he came on the committee, this was his committee assignment when he was in the united states congress. it's interesting, he became known as spotty, because he was challenging the president where were the origins of the mexican-american war, and he didn't believe -- there's a great history there of this committee, of what it's been able to do. what's interesting is what changed when i left, because the oversight and government reform committee changed, and now nan is i pelosi and -- nan i city pelosi and elijiah cummings changed this committee, it's called the committee on oversight and reform. see, democrats don't believe that government is a problem, they think it's a solution to everything. they don't need to hook at what government's doing because government is all good. and what you see now are hearings and a press that go after individuals and individual corporations. that is not necessarily the purview of the united states congress. again, the committee is this wide, probably the widest berth of any sort of jurisdiction. there are two supreme court cases that we lay out

we're asking the house to authorize and direct the committee on the judiciary to investigate the conduct of the president of the united states. he further says such a resolution has always been passed by the house. the committee has voted unanimously to recommend that the house of representatives adopt this resolution. this is necessary step if we're meeting our obligation. wow, andrew johnson richgd nixon bill clinton all treated completely differently than the president trump. why is that? we'll get to that in a minute. president's procedural rights also in this resolution rpghting impeachment inquiry into bill clinton. prior to the october five committee meeting sun rays concern about procedural fairness and encourage committee to adopt rules similar to those that adopted by committee in 1974 investigating nixon. when were divide the president with with certain procedural rights -- after voting on the hyde resolution committee adopted by voice vote by a number of protections. protections for the president president being clinton. the president and his counsel shall be invitedded to teapgd all executive session in open com

united states senate. you are the chairman of the committee that oversees the cavities with ukraine and the united states amongther positions you hold in the united states senate. we have this document that came out, the president's phonecall a transcript of it that the president of ukraine. in fact back in july and people are trying to, the democrats in particular, say the president was seeking a quid pro quo. i don't read this in here. you have this sum back roundedness. you hadan a meeting with the president in may of this year. do you want to tell us about that? >> sure and the transcript i think it's a pretty gracious phonecall on the part of the president but i went to ukraine in may, on may 20 for the inauguration of president zelensky credit when they were secretary perry the ambassador to the european union and kurt volker who was the special on very to ukraine. we felt it was important coming back, we were impressed with zelensky and we thought it was important to me with the president and give him support of ukraine. we had a meeting in the oval office on may 23 of this year and again just making up

issue for the united states and it's to me, if they are released and the kurds, no choice but to release them, that's definitely a threat to the united states. arthel: will you and your committeert now formulating some sort of plan of -- attack for lack of a better word at the moment but plan to protect our homeland in the event of these possible new arrivals of mortar risks coming here? >> yeah, homeland security committee, again, bipartisan, democrats control it now, but our main purpose is to protect us against the attacks, protect the homeland from being attacked and hundreds or thousands of isis prisoners going back into europe or loose in the middle east, that increase it is chance of them coming to the united states, so they'll have to definitely as far as i'm concerned, definite increase in security measures taken by the united states against this threat. arthel: now to former acting homeland security secretary kevin mcaleenan quitting temporary job after 6 months of being there, what's your reaction to resignation and what does it take to stick in this position and who has what it takes? >> yeah, again, kevin mcaleenan, he has done a very good job, i think some of the

phi beta -- he's kappa from howard and chairman, very important committee in the congress of the united states. he lived the american dream. and he wanted it for everyone else. he spoke with unsurpassed clarity and moral integrity when he spoke on the floor. had the -- just coincidental opportunity to speak -- to be at breakfast with someone who served with him in the state legislature in maryland, and he said when elijah cummings would stand up in the state legislature, the house of delegates as it's called there, the room would fall silent. . was going to be better for them and that they would bring with our values. in that regard, in terms of a i'm so proud that richie neal announced in the markup, owering the cost of prescription drugs, that he was uggesting to name the bill for elijah cummings. so appropriate because elijah fighter for lowering the cost of prescription drugs, eaching across the aisle to do so. he always stroefb to reach across -- strove to reach across the aisle and even have dialogue with the president for an aisle subject -- for a while on this subject. elijah ld now be

state department and the ukraine. the inspector general wants to brief several committees including the senate intelligence committee. we'll be joined by senator kamala harris who is now a candidate for president of the united states. she serves in the senate judiciary committee chuck grassley who picked sides and it will surprise you whose side senator grassley is on. it is not so surprising. we will consider why donald trump has not yet attacked chuck grassley for chuck grassley's very strong defense today of the whistleblower. and at the end of the hour, we will be joined by american journalism's highest authority on impeachment. elizabeth drew is now covering her third impeachment proceeding of the president of the united states. she is a washington congresswoman for the new yorker. elizabeth drew wrote the book about that process which remains the highest standard in impeachment reporting. washington journal reporting watergate and richard nixon's downfall. elizabeth's drew's reporting has always been mandatory reading for me, and i can assure you her op-ed speech in the "new york times" has been treated as mandatory reading by the staff of all the house committees involved in the impeachment process a
