To other news now the u. S. House Judiciary Committee is holding its final debate on 2 articles of impeachment against donald trump the House Democrats the leading efforts to formally charge the president with the use of power and obstruction of Congress Trumps accused of withholding aid to ukraine to pressure ukraine and to investigating potential white house rival joe biden well in just a few items will go to our White House Correspondent Committee Health and but 1st lets bring in heidi show koster she is live for us on capitol hill and some thought i would as the Committee Considers the mend bones to the impeachment articles heidi. Thats right because today is a day with historical significance if these articles are passed out of the committee as fully expected it will be only the 3rd time in u. S. History that and it heats from proceeding against a president has come this far and indeed the stakes are very high and weve seen a lot of partisanship going into the debate today with republicans introducing the 1st significant amendment was she seeks to kill the 1st article altogether this is the article that alleges abuse of power along with the 2nd charge of obstruction of congress and republicans are pointing at democrats saying that its days who are guilty of abusing their power for launching this impeachment in the 1st place but of course democrats hold the majority on this committee as well as the full house and it is fully expected that by the end of the day we will have these impeachment articles passed out of the committee which then sets up for it next week when the full house will take up this issue and again very likely will be passing the articles which would at that point formally impeach President Trump then looking forward into the new year thats when this would move on to the senate which is a very different dynamic with the president s own party the republicans holding. The majority there and it is fully expected that republicans in the senate will the new move to acquit the president which begs the question from the American Public as well as observers why democrats are going on this impeachment in the 1st place if it is almost certainly ordained to fail to remove trump the answer from democratic leadership is that there is a duty bound by the constitution for congress to oversee the president and they say if they were not to press forward with this impeachment and they themselves would be complicit in what they view as the president s high crimes and misdemeanors heidi thank you for that lets bring in now our White House Correspondent Committee Held committee it sounds like the president has even more than usual to say about the proceedings. Yeah he has been tweeting and retreating feverish lay much of it one messages weve heard before essentially calling this process a sham and also really trying to discredit the process but whether or not the president was watching these proceedings seemed to be a bit of a question we went in to discuss that with the press office they wouldnt say but the president in the last hour or so has been instead not watching these proceedings on capitol hill but instead he has been advocating at an event for paid family leave something the United States lags behind significantly in terms of comparison to other developed nations to the president s message in the last hour has been one of look at what i have done as president for children and for families really distancing himself for whats happening on capitol hill letting those republican defenders do the work for him where there seems to be a bit of a court needed message that has come from the white house and that is something that the president has highlighted before hes always maintained no wrongdoing in these proceedings and we should note there has been a pointing out that the president has been accused of extortion of bribery of collusion the white house informally telling me that of course those are not listed in the articles of impeachment in fact even the obstruction of justice a very serious criminal charge is absent so this is something that the white house is trying to underscore and messaging that has been sent up to capitol hill well the president watches from the sidelines in between what he says is doing the work for the American People the voters who ultimately will have to decide in less than a years time whether or not to give him another 4 years in the White House Committee thank you for that White House Correspondent committee how could live washington d.
