the white house turned down the offer from the democratic majority on the judiciary committee to have their lawyers come and offer their own perspective on the history of impeachment leaving jonathan to do it instead. so there's a lot of deflection and defiance and distraction and screaming but not a lot of debating the facts. everything was in secret. the minute there were hearings it was a show trial. if it's too fast, they're rushing it for a calendar. if they go on too long it will be a grinding on witch hunt that they're obsessing about. they do this because they really don't want to stand up as people that took an oath to the constitution and not the man and say this is acceptable and normalize it for all of history and for future presidents to say what he did is fine. and the faster it goes, i think the better it is for republicans because they can, you know, have a lot of drama about tactics and when are we going to get a witness day and you guys are being mean to us but if this goes on and on i think it will be more clear to the public that that's just what it is. >> and spea

now the white house turned down an invitation to participate in wednesday's hearing saying they were not given enough time to provide witnesses and saying this is a sham process as they've done so far. they can participate in future hearings. but they have until friday to respond to that. but already republicans are attacking this process. democrats believe there are far more than enough evidence to say to the president abused his office and deserves to be impeached and the democrats will detail the findings tonight and publicly tomorrow we'll see it. >> republicans just released their own report. how are they defending the president, manu? >> reporter: republicans released a 123-page report that we obtained and reviewed and it is a full-throated defense of the president's actions contending that none of the central allegations that the president did are wrong. saying the president was within his rights to withhold the military assistance to ukraine saying it needed to be reviewed and that ukraine is historically corrupt country and he had -- within the president's responsibilities t

white house we go to cnn's pamela brown who helped break this story. what are you learning, pamela? >> reporter: brooke, our team the white house further clamped downr of administration officials allowed to listen in to the president's calls with foreign leaders. a sign of the white house's fears about at so-called deep state in the wake of the ukraine controversy. also we've learned from several sources transcripts readouts of trump's calls with world leaders disseminated to a far smaller group of people inside the white house continuing an effort that began early in this administration to limit the number of people with insight and information about those conversations. after a career staffer lieutenant corner alex vindman raised concerns about the president's call to the ukrainian president, later testified to congress about it, the white house now excludes career staffers and detailees we've learned whose roles include taking notes and providing edits to the eventual transcripts of the conversations meant to clarify what was said and also heavily involved in policymaking. now, brooke, only a handful of political officials listen in. i spoke wit

partisan process and he's not even going to try to be impartial he is there to support the white house how's that going down well so what do you guess that earlier that you know everyone's made up their mind and that's partially true but that's different from saying i'm coordinating with the defendant if a jury is coordinating with the defendant that's a little bit over the top i think. well ok at this point i want to bring in a couple more guests we have 2 more experts to help us break down what's happening in washington so he will talk to philip others who is the associate counsel to the office of the president under president casa he's in new york but fast let's chat to alan baron he's a former special impeachment counsel so the house of representatives and he joins us now from washington d.c. mr baron i've just been having this conversation him with clyde about the partisan nature of this process now potentially was that what the founding fathers had imagined when they wrote these impeachment proceedings will that when they laid the foundations for that probably not. i mean they weren't naive and they t

they just got a ruling from the former white house counsel that me down in their favor. when i testified last in congress, i encouraged them to bring those cases and i said i thought they would win. if they brought a case two months ago with john bolton, they would be close to or have a ruling by now. the difference is that that adds credility. the problem is that this impeachment investigation has been so short. we've gone from the event on augu 31 to an impeacby the end of december. you are saying i'm going to impeach you because you have not turned over material in that short period of time.a: laome people say you contradict yourself -- you uraddressed this today in mn co- but you did write before that violation of public trust could be grounds for impeachment. nvn't withholding military aid in return for antigation of a political rival arguably in violation of public trust? have to expect that type of spin. exact same thing in clinton as i did yesterday. in fact, the testimony was soos i wasn't guilty of self contradiction as much as self plagiarism. igsctually took

we're learning the white house has cracked down even harder on who exactly is allowed to listen to thehone calls with foreign leaders. multiple white house officials telling cnn that now only the most senior, politically appointed officials close to trump are allowed to listen. the national security adviser and the secretary of state, as well as the acting chief of staff. but those career officials, the advisors and experts detailed to the national security counsel, they are no longer to participate. results in, as one official told me, a smaller circle of loyalists in all policymaking discussions. reflects the fear of leaks and the distrust that has gripped this white house. one official jokingly told cnn that it's being called the vindman rule after alexander vindman. the ukraine director who was lisening to the july 25th call and was so disturbed by it that he reported to the lawyers and testified to congress. another official told me if the zelensky call were held tomorrow, vindman would not be on it. we also learned that transcripts of the calls are being disseminated to a far sma

white the counsel represent republican side in the senate. that still hasn't been ompletely nailed down. it would be unusual to have the white houseel run the republican side in the senate. it would show a sort of collapse of the separation of powers between the senate and the white house. but mcconnell has said very clearly that he doesn't want daylight between him and the white house as the impeachment proceedings move forward. host: mike debonis, when will or will they, the two leaders in the senate, actually talk and will they negotiate or will mitch mcconnell go to susan collins and lisa murkowski and say can you live with this, or other republicans who might defect? guest: we don't know. we started to have a conversation. i think that's going to probably begin in earnest as soon as the house votes on wednesday, perhaps before that. but both mcconnell and schumer know the situation here, which is, you know, there's these rules in place, and they were written in 1998, 1999, and they're not necessarily the best rules for this particular situation. for both sides. so, unfortunately in the senate, you really can't do anything unl

the white house president's house is just down pennsylvania avenue. where do we start with the story? ash was seized and prince georges county in 1839 in one of these what i would call sudden sales. he was taken quickly and sent to the yellow house. williams planned to transport him and sell him in louisiana. when we pulled back and look at the broad scope of this interstate slave trade, we are talking about between 1820 and sold 1.5 million people out of maryland and virginia and delaware and sent into the south, the cotton south and sugar fields. 1.5 million people. 186,000 children. spouses 260,000 separated. ok? one scholar has estimated that every 3.6 minutes between 1820 and 1860, a family was broken up and a person was sold. every 3.6 minutes, a person was sold, for 40 years. the scope and scale of the interstate slave trade is something we have to reckon with and think about as americans, and understand. this forced migration. every 3.6 minutes for four years. taken, sold,ho was sent to the yellow house, and it was there that he somehow has th

the white house turned that down so they would not participate in that. also criticized the basement proceedings that occurred in the house intelligence committee investigation behind closed doors. republicans did participate in those closed door depositions. asked as many questions as democrats and criticized the leaks that cake out of there and they often came from the witnesses attorneys who provided opening statements of that, their testimony to various members of the press to provide their arguments going in and later the transcripts were released of all those who testified, but this has all been part of the argument that the president made, he's been a victim. it's an unfair process. trying to attack nancy pelosi, adam schiff over all that. interesting thing, now saying republicans should not provide fair process in the eyes of democrats because of the way he was treated in the house. so the question is, will the republicans listen to him? at the moment they don't want to give the witnesses the house has been asking for. >> mitch mcconnell and congre

one edge of that sword she's arguing persuasively that the white house is shut down the possibility ofetting documents and witnesses. all the key witnesses. and therefore it's not the full facts haven't come out and democrats are entitled to have the full facts if they'll have a trial. that's a legitimate argument. on the other hand there's the side of the sword. that the democrats have been arguing hustle up we have to hurry. and they have the impeachment done they are saying slow down. we're not sure we'll send the articles. you can maintain that for a short period of type. i do not think it's a sustainable position over a long period of time. it looks too cute. and mark short had a point. a lot of other republicans and independents will agree, there's something hypocritical about we want quick now we want it slow. and we were willing to do this without witnesses over on our side of the aisle. now you have to do it with witnesses on your side. i think it's a double edge sword. >> as they pump the brakes we have seen more information come out. since wednesday. we learned that about 90

he gets accused of shaking down the ukrainians and he goes out to the driveway in front of the white housent of all the television cameras as if to say just because i'm doing it in public must mean that it's okay. you know, if this had been barack obama who had done what donald trump is accused of doing here, i can assure you he would have been impeached long ago. >> do you think hearing from rudy giuliani or mick mulvaney or john bolton would change minds? >> i don't know, but i think it would create, it would help create a record that we're going to need, that i would like us to have coming out of this trial. so the american people know what actually happened here. this is dispicable. if any mayor did what donald trump had done as president, he would be hustled off to jail as a result of it. and we somehow have to use this as an opportunity to reestablish the standard of conduct we want out of our presidents whether republican or democrats. >> we have the sound bite, but more inest thering if inesteres you can't vote for impeachment, give us the due justs to the case. don't decide the ca

do we know if any white house officials have been down there with him? >> it's been a rotating cast of characters. the first couple of nights we saw robert o'brien, we saw his acting chief of staff mick mulvaney, we saw his former press secretary sara sander was there as well as his current press secretary. and half of them are leaving where more of them are coming in. they are expected to really rotate in and out here. we know one of the biggest concerns of his white house aides was that a long time here, numerous hours, numerous days, which is what he's slated to be here for, could lead him to be more open to outside influence. they wanted to make sure that he had people around him who kept him focused on certainly parts of the trial that republicans agreed on like the idea of having a shorter trial and less witnesses. >> kristen holmes, thanks so much for your reporting there. let's open this up to conversation. joining me now political analyst and senior editor for the atlantic, ron brownstein, and former communications director, doug hide. doug, i w

why would he go down to the eisenhower office building next to white house and pick up some dirt and then the next morning goes back down to the white house and says i just found something that supports trump's position? why would he become an operate chb? w why is a congressman running around like he's an employee of this president? do they got something on him? does he have a staffer who's leading him in the wrong direction because he's really working with the bad guys? why would nunes do this? what's his motive? ben? >> well, i think, you know, it's a signal of where the republican party is today in 2019. devin nunes doesn't see the way he gets ahead as doing his job, serving his constituents, trying to do right by the constitution, trying to do right by our national security. he thinks is to be the most pro-trump guy up there, and when he's up there putting on these performances, out there trying to dig up dirt, false daughter by the way on the bidens what he's doing is speaking to an audience of one which is donald trump. but he also knows there's an entire media world out of the

the most recent ideas has been to have white house counsel past and represents the republican side in the senate. that's still hasn't been completely nailed down. it would be unusual to have the white house counsel run the republican side in elthe senate. it would show a sort of collapse of the separation of powers between the senate and the white house but mcconnell has said clearly that he doesn't want daylight between him and the white house as the proceedings moveforward . >> when will or will they to leaders in the senate actually talk and will they negotiate or will mitch mcconnell go to susan collins and lisa murkowski and say can youlive with this for these other republicans might defect ? >> we assume thisk la and they were written in 1998, 1999 and they're not necessarily the best rules for this particular situation for both sides but unfortunately in the senate you really can't do anything unless everyone agrees and that's going to be a tough order in something as divisive asthis . back in 1999 everybody got it, it literally got into a room and hashed out an agreement on the rules . and it ended up passing on 100 zero vote.at nobody

they are busy being down the impeaching instead of being here at the white house being with the president and first lady and anybody else, how can you work together? they have no interest in this. they do not want to work together, but you ignore that? almost like an out-of-body experience for us. we will be there for the senate trying to be a real trial that the country can relate to. >> laura: as i said after the kavanaugh -- >> great analogy. >> laura: people leaks documents and they never paid. they were never exposed. >> they will pay when donald trump is president for five years. >> laura: back actors and the fbi and bad actors still in politics. kellyanne, great to see you

trump's personal attorney rudy giuliani was at the white house this morning shortly after the house judiciary committee voted down party lines to send the 2 impeachment charges to the house floor. the first abuse of power, the second obstruction of congress. >> if we let the president get away with this conduct, it means that every president for all time will be able to bring foreign powers into our elections. >> reporter: the full house vote to impeach the president could take place as early as next wednesday. democratic house leaders expect a few defections from moderate members in swing districts, but they expect they have the votes they need to pass. if that happens, it goes to the senate for a trial early next year. on fox news last night, the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said there's 0 chance the president will be removed from office. >> and everything i do in this, i'm coordinating with white house counsel. there's no difference between the president's position and our position as to how to handle this. >> reporter: democrats pushed back on republicans' plans, urging americans to call their senat

white house aide of being a white supremacist. reports leaked e-mails suggest steven miller was promoting stories with an anti-immigration narrative. >> reporter: we sat downbart editor who says she knows all too well that steven biller is a white nationalist. former breitbart news editor says she is doing her first television interview for one reason. she wants to expose a white supremacist in the white house. >> you think steven miller is a white nationalist. >> a white supremacist i would say because i believe his ideology is one of domination and control over people of color. >> steven miller is a senior aide to president donald trump. he did not respond to our request for comment. a white house spokesperson has said that miller is not a racist and is being attacked because he's jewish. mccue says that's laughable. she says on his rise to the white house, while working for senator jeff sessions. >> are you ready to send donald j. trump to the white house? >> and later on trump's campaign, miller was in constant contact with her pushing stories that fit an anti-immigration narrative. stories she wrote for breitbart without question. >> were you a white

mcconnell when he said he was in complete cooperation with the white house, she had pretty strong words for schumer, too, and said he didn't sit down with the white house and talk about this privately. i was talking to schumer yesterday and he said a lot of that tactic rubbed our members the wrong way. he is one of the top republican leaders so he has a messaging role here. but what you're seeing spill out on the senate floor right now through comments to the press, it does not -- clearly does not bode well for any bipartisan negotiations between chuck and mitch at this point. >> the attorney deputy is respected among his colleagues. he said, something like this really needs to move forward in a way that builds upon some sort of bipartisanship that suggests it is not just chaos around here. there is nothing to build on. >> look, that's what underscores the dramatic difference between what's playing out now, what played out in the last several months as impeachment marched forward, but also what played out in the aftermath of the vote and what played out with president clinton. there was partisanship 20 years ago but it wasn't a com

i remember sitting down with some folks in the white house early on. the clearing house for not only the budgetary stuff, but the regulatory affairs. talking about how excited we were about the deregulatory successes in a little less excited about the legislative process. remember telling folks, look, there are certain things that are easier than others in washington, d.c. we don't have to work with congress to do most of our deregulatory agenda which is why it was successful. you move down to legislation, then we have to convince congress to do something. the hardest on that spectrum. another country to change the practice. that could be really difficult to do. we seen that. at the root of all this, what with was the discussion? >> it was about whether or not china wants to join the first of nations. german controlled entity to do business. the chances of them participating in the attempt to steal your stuff. china needs to step up to that game. >> we are raising the issues that need to be raised. >> in fact it is economic model seems to be working qu
