The new pickup truck that could change the Auto Industry and what went wrong during the big reveal. And more than just a win. The postme ancemt th got this Football Team so excited. Good friday morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us. We begin with a possible new time line for the impeachment investigation after two weeks of testimony on capitol hill. As democrats move forward, abc news has learned talks are under way concerning a likely impeachment trial in the senate. The last scheduled hearing in the house featured blunt accounts from two career diplomats who are frustrated by the administrations campaign to pressure ukraine. One of them delivered a stark warning about russia and how its already targeting the 2020 election. Abcs Elizabeth Hur joins us with the new details. Elizabeth, good morning. Reporter kenneth and janai, good morning. After nearly 40 hours of public hearings, democrats say they are preparing to move forward and republicans are conceding a trial cannot be avoided and so they are getting ready. House democrats wrapping two weeks of public impeachment hearings convinced the testimonies they heard are proof President Trump abused his power. This president believes he is above the law, beyond accountability, and i would just say to people watching here at home and around the world, in the words of my great colleague, we are better than that. Adjourned. The scheduled public hearings ending thursday with former Top National Security council official dr. Fiona hill quoting former National Security adviser john bolton as calling the president s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani a hand grenade who is going to blow everybody up. Did you understand what he meant by that . That he was clearly pushing forward issues and ideas that would, you know, probably come back to haunt us and, in fact, i think that thats where we are today. Reporter but republicans called the democrats push to impeach the president a political hit job. The democrats promised they would be different. They promised they would govern. But we found out from the very first day of swearing in that the true goal here was to impeach the president. I do not see any indication at least right now of any defections on the republican side, not in the senate, and not in the house on the question of impeachment. Reporter even still, abc news learning the white house is now bracing for an impeachment trial with Senior Administration officials meeting to talk strategy and President Trump hosting a lunch with eight gop senators including two of his critics, mitt romney and susan collins. Now, if the house votes to impeach, thats when the process moves to the senate, and it takes twothirds of the senate to convict and remove the president from office. Kenneth. All right, Elizabeth Hur, thank you. Former new york mayor Michael Bloomberg is moving closer to entering the race for president. Hes now filed papers with the federal Election Commission to create a president ial campaign committee. Bloomberg has yet to officially say whether hes entering the race, but his announcement is expected soon. The military is investigating the deadly crash of two fighter jets in oklahoma. One of the training jets landed upside down near a runway at Vance Air Force base. Two airmen were killed. Its the second crash involving that kind of training jet in oklahoma in the last 15 months. In the previous crash, the pilot was able to eject in time. A major scare for passengers on a flight from los angeles. They had just left l. A. X. When they saw those flames that you see shooting from an engine and heard what they describe sounded like gunshots. A burst of fire coming from the right engine of the Philippine Airlines jet were visible even from the ground, but it was especially tense on board where a little girl saw the flames from her seat. Her father captured the moment on camera. I could see like flashes of light. I thought it was some kind of just from the sunlight, and then i just started hearing like boom, boom, boom, and then i look out of the window, and these balls of fire just shooting out of the engine. Experts blame the problem on whats called a compressor surge when excess fuel ignites while leaving the engine similar to a car backfiring. They say it rarely threatens a jetliner. We turn now to the growing scandal involving Prince Andrew and his ties to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Prince andrew has already stepped aside from his royal duties, but this morning a new epstein accuser has come forward demanding the prince speak to investigators. This morning Prince Andrew spotted in public for the First Time Since stepping down from his royal duties because of his association with Jeffrey Epstein. The convicted sex offender who died by suicide while on trial for sex trafficking. The sighting came hours after a new accuser of epstein came forward demanding Prince Andrew speak to the fbi about what he knows about epstein. Theres no need to wait for a gold engraved invitation. It should be done without delay. Reporter epsteins new accuser, teala davies, says epstein sexually assaulted her when she was 17. She showed a picture of them in a helicopter over the Virgin Islands around the time of the alleged abuse. I was a little girl. It took me a long time to break free from his mind control and abuse. Reporter her attorney, gloria allred, says davies met with several highprofile people while she was with epstein. Allred did not say whether Prince Andrew was one of those people. During that time she met a number of celebrities, but were not going to disclose the names of those wellknown people at this time. Reporter also speaking out about the princes decision to step aside, Virginia Roberts giuffre who says she was one of epsteins teenage sex slaves ordered to have sex with Prince Andrew, something the prince denies. In a new statement Roberts Giuffre says Prince Andrew basing his decision to step away from his duties due to his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is only a half truth. He clearly had a longterm association with Ghislaine Maxwell who we maintain was epsteins coconspirator and played a central role in devastating the lives of countless women. Maxwell has denied any involvement in epsteins crimes. She has not been seen publicly in months. Now to new trouble for a close ally of President Trump. Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has been indicted on bribery and fraud charges. He is accused of taking gifts for political favors. Netanyahu claims he is the victim of a coup attempt.

Hes being called racist and sexist, but this morning despite the outrage, the university where he works says he will not be fired. This morning a professor at Indiana University igniting controversy accused of sharing racist, sexist and homophobic messages on social media. I noticed a lot of replies to a tweet i had made a week or so before, and those were mounting. Reporter earlier this month, business professor Eric Rasmusen shared an article on twitter with the headline, are women destroying academia . Probably. He then quoted a line that read, geniuses are overwhelmingly male. The university was then inundated with demands that he be removed. In a scathing letter, the schools provost says rasmusen has pushed bigoted views on social media for years including that women dont belong in the workplace, that gay men shouldnt be in the classrooms because they are promiscuous and that black students are academically inferior to white students, but she says the professor will not be fired because he is protected by the First Amendment. Vile as i find them, were a public institution, and unlike private employers were bound by the First Amendment of the constitution. Reporter rasmusen has been teaching at the school since 1992 and has tenure. He says his critics are overreacting. Oh, thats a kneejerk reaction. Most people dont understand academia anyway and so and they know that in some businesses people get fired for having conservative views and they figure if they complain to the dean here, they might fire me too. And its possible it might happen, but i have tenure, so it would be against the law to do it. Reporter the university is now providing alternative classes for students if they dont want to take rasmusens classes.
