A reluctant to leave and i who begin on capitol hill where the u. S. House of representatives as just voted to send the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the senate it also passed a resolution authorizing the appointment of 7 manages for the trial earlier House Speaker nancy pelosi and outs the Prosecution Team naming House Intelligence Committee chairman adam schiff as the leader trump as accused of threatening to withhold military aid to ukraine in exchange for an investigation into his political rival joe biden impeachment trial is expected to begin properly next week the task before us is a grave one but one demanded by our oath the impeachment inquiry undertaken by the house of representatives found that president donald j. Trump abused his power and sought to cover it up with an Unprecedented Campaign of obstruction President Trump put his own personal interests above the National Interests above our National Security and if not stopped he will do it again for that reason he was impeached and for that reason the house managers will take the case to the senate and to the American People because the appropriate remedy indeed the only remedy is the conviction and removal from office of President Donald Trump. Is live from capitol hill in washington d. C. Tell us where we are now in this process. Lauren so the vote has been made us fishel those impeachment managers have been named and the articles will be transmitted by the end of the day what we expect to see now is in a few hours time Speaker Nancy Pelosi will sign those articles and i think rosemond ceremony and then right after she accompanied by those 17 spent managers will hold those printed impeachment articles in their hands in and the loaves and will hand over them by marching across the u. S. Capitol from one side where the u. S. House of representatives meets to the other side where the senate will be awaiting the reception of those articles and crossing that threshold across the u. S. Capitol is also the moment that they will cross the threshold in u. S. History and picking off what will soon be the trial of President Donald Trump he is only the 3rd u. S. President to face an impeachment trial which will determine whether or not he remains in office and we expect senators to be sworn in shortly after that they will be the jurors to. Herman his guilt or innocence it does take a 2 thirds majority in that chamber which is controlled by republicans trumps own party in order to convict the president of a very High Standard to meet to remove him from Office Although all eyes are on exactly what the senators will hear whether or not theyll be allowed to consider new evidence and new witnesses who may change the trajectory of exactly where this trial is going and you mentioned the impeachment managers how significant are they. Well they are in the essence the prosecutors that will be arguing the case against President Trump so in this upcoming trial we will be seeing a lot of them with their arguments played out at American Television screens and in the selection of these 7 Congress PeopleSpeaker Nancy Pelosi was obviously very keen to be inclusive of members from both the progressive caucus there are 3 members among the 7 who are progressive as well as the other wing of her Democratic Party the moderates who were just elected in from swing districts and that one of the congressmen who will be one of the peace managers he is among the freshman democrats from a trump friendly district who wrote a op ed in the beginning of this whole impeachment episode that kicked everything off when he threw his support behind launching the inquiry that ultimately brought us to this point. Thank you very much indeed. White house correspondent can really help in washington d. C. As well what reaction has there been from the president can really. Well the president has been tweeting it was a bit unusual it didnt really mean anything so im not going to read it back to you because were not exactly sure what it meant other than it was it ever by this president to inject his voice into a process that is about him but essentially he has no involvement in at the moment so what the president has been doing in addition is also holding a signing ceremony with the representatives from china this is phase one of a trade agreement with china normally wed be making a lot of noise about this would be a big headline and i think the white house was hoping that would be the case again but instead the real fixation here in washington or around the world has been the events that are taking place on capitol hill so perhaps because the white house wasnt getting the attention it wanted or the narrative wasnt going in the direction that they wanted there was a phone call between some of the senior Top Administration officials and members of the media to kind of give us a sense of how this white house is hoping this trial in the u. S. Senate will go moving forward and what this white house is pushing for right now is for this to be a very quick trial with essentially no witnesses being called now this is a big problem for members of the Democratic Party not just in the house of representatives but also in the u. S. Senate because their argument is there need to be witnesses called theres still more evidence the American People have not heard they want to hear from people like the secretary of state my pump alle the former National Security adviser john bolton in fact he would have some evidence that certainly would be pertinent to this case given his close proximity to the president however it is one question that still remains an answered is whether or not the white house will invoke executive privilege and this is something that these senior Administration Officials would simply not answer they said they didnt want to get ahead of the president but certainly we know from the president s interviews that he did last week he is saying that he would invoke executive privilege to. Prevent some of this information coming out he says its a threat to u. S. National security democrats say this is an effort to obstruct much as they allege the president did when the impeachment inquiry was going on so theres a real battle back and forth i think its safe to assume its politics as usual depending which side of the aisle youre on there is certainly an effort to shape this trial that is set to kick off early next week in the u. S. Senate committee howard thank you very much indeed.
