what he's the one who's dividing the country on this we are honoring the constitution of the united states palosi has asked the house judiciary committee to draw up charges which could include abuse of power and obstruction of justice trumps response was characteristically direct on his preferred communication channel twitter. they have no impeachment case and not demeaning our country he treated but nothing matters to them they've gone crazy therefore i say if you're going to impeach me do it now fast so we can have a fair trial in the senate. his regular cheerleaders supported him calling impeachment is a just a mess are we ok with it we think it is concede a legitimate process it will continue to be americans seem divided on the issue. i think the evidence is very clear that he put his own personal interests before the interests of our country. but i felt that poorly. and i have to say i'm really really disappointed. that the republicans. in government don't seem to be able to put their country 1st. well right quite frankly i think it's very bad timing it's christmas time is going to be you kn

united states who is impeached now now something else. wondrous and absolutely unique happened after the vote that's palosi and the leadership to have their request for a little press conference and answer some questions she said there that she will be holding back sending the articles of impeachment that means article one article 2 will hold those back to send them over to the senate what you have here is historic too because there is no precedent for that and the democrats are using this for leverage why because the senate as you also said is republican controlled and the leader of the republicans in the senate has already said that there's no chance for a fair trial whatsoever and that he's correlating incorporating with the white house to squash the entire impeachment effort and the trial which happens in the senate off the off the bat so what's happening now here is and that is absolutely unique is a political knife fight which you have not seen in an impeachment battle before ever in history of the united states again briefly so what then happens now. well if let's say the democrats send over the articles of impeachment then the tri

palosi responded. this is about the constitution of the united states and the facts that lead to the president's violation of his oath of office and as a catholic i resent your using the word hate in a sentence that addresses me i don't hate anyone i was raised in a way that is full of heart full of love and always prayed for the president and i still pray for the president a pray for the president all the time so don't mess with me when it comes to words like that. and democrats have been claiming all along that this is ok jd and that they are fulfilling the duty of their office that no one is looking forward to impeaching him even perhaps removing the president from office now the next thing will see is on monday the judiciary committee will continue with more hearings to help craft what those articles of impeachment exactly. thank you for the. stay in washington and cross over to white house correspondent kimberly halkett kimberly what are they saying over there about this announcement. yeah well we've just had a statement from the white house press secretary stephanie grisham and just the last few mom

dancing palosi made that very clear in the way she shut down democrats who started to cheer as she was reading out the votes so it's really a solemn day for the united states in our history i think so how does this vote how does this more a given pietschmann what does that do to trump's presidency how will people per potentially view president trump now from this day forward the word impeachment is going to be associated with donald trump's presidency and that bothers him that he doesn't see it doesn't seem like the ball exactly but donald trump cares about how he's perceived in public he's he cares about how the public sees him and you can tell that b. because of what he says over twitter from the letter he sent to nancy pelosi even what he was saying during the michigan rally that he held last night so this is something that is going to hang over his presidency and it's something that he's going to fight against people because it really does get to the heart of who gets. to speaking about the impeachment proceedings it's of course the lawmakers who do the actual vote and we saw that last night but public opinion does play a big role in terms of potential
