Second whistleblowers come forward in the impeachment inquiry against President Trump the lawyer whos now representing both people says his client actually witnessed the phone call between President Trump and his ukrainian counterpart alan fischer reports. An unusually low profile we can for President Trump despite a new development in the high profile preachment quality of lawyers for the whistleblower who expressed concern over the controversial phone call with the ukrainian president have now confirmed on twitter there is another witness it said this Government Official has firsthand knowledge and supports the claims of the force was so blown the new witness is cooperating with the intelligence communitys Inspector General and the real we can tweet President Trump dismiss the news writing they are going to the bench and another whistleblower is coming in from the deep state keep them coming but this weakens one leg of Donald Trumps defense that the original complaint was based on here see he asked his ukrainian counterpart to investigate one of his political rivals to biden during a call in july he insists he has every right to ask another country to examine wrongdoing involving americans but american law prohibits foreign interference in president ial elections the whistleblower claimed this was part of a pattern of behavior where the president used his political power to push his personal agenda the white house didnt provide anyone for the sunday political talk shows to defend the president in fact republicans were thin on the ground one who did make an appearance insisted the president did nothing wrong im not here defending the president im not here to denounce him either what im here is telling you my my piece of this puzzle here given you my honest assessment of what i heard how the president told me repeatedly in the may 23rd oval office visit on the phone of the 31st the reason here very legitimate concerns and reservations are ukraine is 1st corruption generalizes in damage we all know that. Democrats are pushing ahead with gathering more evidence this coming week insisting its important to get to the bottom of the allegations im deeply scared by the positioning that republicans have chosen to take that interview was just a giant green light to the president of the United States to continue to solicit foreign interference in u. S. Elections he telegraph that hes going to ask china to do the same thing that he asked the ukrainians to do this week because republicans are allowing to are allowing him to do it and this entire country should be scared that in a moment when we need patriots what were getting is blind partisan loyalty public support for the impeachment of President Trump is still under 50 percent heres the thing for him though as more information comes out that number is going up alan fischer aljazeera washington. Now there are to be a Record Number of candidates to contest sri lankas elections coming up in november the hopefuls have been filing papers at the countrys Election Commission in the capital colombo but there is one notable name missing that see incumbent president my 3 palace city center has decided not to run after 4 years in office as total correspondent whos in colombo minal finance has and see my 3 palace city centers decision not to run again should be seen as a casualty of those easter bombings such a disastrous results for the people the sri lankan. Martin that was one reason placer horsed of that has dotted his ted leo as the executive president of sri lanka obviously he did when he came into power and nouns quite confidently that he wouldnt seek a 2nd term he was coming in to bring change things changed as he sort of held office we did see in recent months him did you know mounting a bid to try and get support to run a 2nd time but this just did not happen and he was forced to admit that it was not something that was on the cards at all so the phrase that we have seen handing in their nomination papers at the Election Commission office you see behind me has involved quite an interesting mix we heard that 41 people had posted cash bones so far today weve had 33 potential candidates handing in the nomination papers in fact theyre still sitting down with the Election Commission officials going through obviously nitty gritty detail and there is also basically a time window we have about another 35 minutes for objections this is the formal process once you have candidates have. Being in their papers there is room for objections against candidates that have handed in their papers for candidacy so weve got the former defense secretary the brother of the former president mind the rajapaksa did the defense agree go top rajapaksa a former Army Commander the deputy leader of one of the biggest Political Parties the un p. And that is. He happens to be the son of a former president who was assassinated theres an environmentalist theres a Buddhist Monk so quite a colorful line up martin but i suppose the Headline News will be the return of one if not more of the rajapaksa which of course is a very popular day in the state in sri lanka. Thats right martin i mean its literally taken one of someone else in office at which point the rajapaksa as before were voted out but they are staging a comeback in fact we have 2 rajapakse is in the room with the Election Commission today we had the former defense secretary the form what weve seen being the only one of the 2 handing in their papers this was a back up plan because the former defense secretary still has a bit of a cloud around him regarding his eligibility there is still some uncertainty because he opted in u. S. Nationality citizenship in 2003 then he went on to renounce obviously lost to sri lankan citizenship so there is basically a cloud as to whether hes able to establish that he renounced his u. S. Citizenship as he claims the most recent amendment of the constitution of sri lanka does not allow dual national to run for presidency now good of a rajapaksa says that he renounced his u. S. Citizenship in may of this year however we are yet to see any documentary evidence out in the Public Domain so this is something that continues to sort of haunt him little really there are things that have come up before the countrys court the court of appeal listened to a petition that was filed they found in favor of go to the rajapaksa they dismissed the case but there will still be questions that continue to plague him as the Campaign Goes ahead.
