Impeached. House Democratic Leaders know they have the votes to pass both articles of impeachment, one, obstruction of justice, two, abuse of power. The vast majority of the caucus members, people who werent sure which way they would go on this issue, theyre voting yes. All but one or two have committed to doing just that. This is a foregone conclusion at this point. However, youre going to want to Pay Attention to the house floor throughout the course of this day as they debate this momentous occasion. Youre going to have democrats make clear why they believe the president has conducted impeachable acts, why they believe the president withheld funds to ukraine. Youre going to have republicans also unified to a person. Not a single republican expected to break and vote with democrats, why they appose this and have opposed this, each step of this process every step of the way from the closed door depositions, the impeachment hearing, the rules Committee Meeting that went for hours on end yesterday and today, the house floor vote. Ly tell you this. Speaker nancy pelosi on tuesday night shortly before members broke for the evening sending a letter to all of her democratic colleagues, asking every Single Member of the Democratic Caucus to join her on the floor when the floor opens up at 9 00 a. M. Keep an eye on that as well. Everyone knows the stakes and whats left to do. They have to vote. President trump also fired off this remarkable letter. Its a singlepage sixpage singlepage tirade addressed to speaker pelosi. It attacks the people and processes lined up against him sometimes in very personal terms. He intends the letter for the purpts of history. Jim acosta with more from the white house. Dave and christine, President Trump is taking some very personal swieps at democrats as the house is hours away from this Impeachment Vote. The president fired off an angry letter to House Speaker nancy pelosi accusing her of trying to orchestrate a coup. He told me in the oval office he, quote, takes zero responsibility on what will certainly go down as a stin on his legacy. Heres more of what he had to say at the white house. Mr. President , do you take any responsibility for the fact youre about to be impeached . No, i dont take any, zero to put it mildly. They took a perfect phone call i had with the president of ukraine, an absolutely perfect call. You know it, they all notice, nothing was said wrong in that call, to impeach the president of the United States for that is a disgrace and its a mark on our country. The president sounded hopeful that the senate would hold a trade deal before an impeachment trial, but that by wishful thinking. If its delayed, the president wont take the blame for that either. As for the letter, it comes across more like a Campaign Speech or tweet than a document from the white house. Hes accusing pelosi of viewing democracy as an enemy. Dave and christine . Jim, thanks. Heres more from this remarkable letter from the president to the House Speaker plchl trump writes, there are not many people who could have taken the punishment inflicted during that period of time and yet done so much for the success of america and its citizens. He goes on to tell pelosi. You apparently have so little respect for the American People that you expect them to believe youre approaching this impeachment somberly, reservedly, and reluctantly. No intelligent person believes what you are saying. Heres speaker pelosis respo e response. Your reaction to the president s letter . Ridiculous. Ive seen the essence of it. Its really sick. Just hours after the president released the letter to the speaker, she sent a letter of her own to her democratic colleagues telling them they would be derelict in their duty if they dont vote for impeachment. Chuck schumer has called for witnesses at the impeachment trial and shot down by majority leader mitch mcconnell. Schumer wants to hear from four witnesses including Mick Mulvaney, former National Security adviser john bolton. Mcconnell, though, has other ideas. The senate is meant to act as judge and jury to hear a trial, not to rerun the entire background and investigation because angry partisans rushed sloppily through it. By announcing that he doesnt want to have witnesses, he doesnt want to have documents is not rising to the level that a senator should rise to. Hes being a pure partisan. All we need is four republicans to vote with us, to produce these witnesses, to produce the documents, and i expect that some will. I expect that some will. It should be noted this is a complete reversal of senator mckochblt. Every other impeachment has had witnesses, its not unusual to have witnesses in a trial. So why the aboutface 20 years later . Mcconnell is not being coy about it. Im not an impartial juror. This is a political process, theres nothing judicial about it. Impeachment is a political decision. Im not impartial about this at all. Mcconnell is even predicting a, quote, partisan outcome with the president being acquitted. Protesters in dozens of u u. S. Cities rallying against President Trump and for his impeachme impeachment. [ chanting ] thousands of people taking to the streets in cities like new york, nashville, portland, phoenix, den version and atlanta, all of them echoing the same theme t president must be removed from office. And this represents an existential threat to our country, the biggest threat to democracy certainly in my lifetime. Its crazy were going through this right now.

Com. 5 41 eastern time. Just hours from now a historic day begins on capitol hill. For only the third time in u. S. History, a president will be impeached, this time almost entirely along party lines with the president and his allies lashing out as the democrats push to end the trump presidency. Lets bring in cnns writer zach wolf. Good morning, zach. There will be civics class and others showing kids history here. In your impeachment watch letter you make a grilling point right off the top. The good news for trump is no impeached president has ever been removed from office, but then you lay out the bad news. Tell us sth the bad news is the party of no impeached president has ever won the next president ial election. No impeached president has ever been on the ballot. Andrew johnson tried and failed to be the democratic nominee after he was impeached. Usually this is a second term play, a second term drama that unfolds. It was that case for bill clinton and richard nixon. So this will be a unique thing having someone impeached assuming hes acquitted by the president whos essentially up for reelection. Let me ask you then historically. Lets talk nixon and clinton. Though they were not on the ballot, wu impeachment on the ballot . Yes, i think it certainly was. And neither of those president s parties won. Al gore, you know, famously lost to george w. Bush, and jarrett bush lost to jimmy carter. So the party of the president has never won after impeachment. And, of course, with andrew johnson, the republicans although thats a tote aly different scenario after the war and reconstruction, the republicans took over the white house after his impeachment as well. Its such a rare move and such a stunning rebuke of a sits president. I think that bears repeating. For 240 years, americans dont do this lightly and clearly this president is very concerned about the legacy here, the legacy for him and his presidency. It will be one of the first sentences written in his obituary some day, right . In the history books lchl eats talk about the process today. What do you expect to see happen here . How is this going to play out . Basically the house comes to order, and theres some of the general house business that occurs, and then theyll essentially split up debate on this impeachment measure and youll see a lot of speeches, short speeches from house members, and by the end of the day, President Trump will essentially be impeached. They will have this historic vote and hell go in the history books for the reason he does not want to go into the history books. One other thing going into the history friday books is this historic sixpage letter which indicates the president is taking this vir well, writing part, you are the ones, speaking to democrats, interfearing in americas democrats yochl ryu the ones on strucking justice, bringing pain and suffering to our republic for your own selfish personal, political, and partisan gain, adding later, more due process was afforded to those accused in the salem witch trials. What was the desired effect by the president in your estimation . It certainly took over at least on the morning of this people vote the news, and a lot of people are talking about this letter and how he is unbowed by this historic rebuke coming his way. I think its interesting to note that bill clinton, when he was on the road to being impeached was apologetic. Those are obviously different circumstances. He was accused of Something Else entirely. He wasnt exactly, you know, putting on this fighting face. I think it shows you exactly how trump is going to act leading up to and after impeachment. This is going to be something that he, you know, completely uses, i guess, im not going to say to his advantage, ultimately im not sure its going to help him in the way he says it will, but its certainly something hell talk about in a very unapologetic, you know he just will pretend he doesnt care, but clearly he does. We saw that yesterday, the complete lack of contrition. He was in the oval auchs and asked about this. Listen. Mr. President , do you take any responsibility for the fact youre about to be impeached . No, i dont take any, zero to put it mildly. Thats our jim acosta asking that question of the president. But when you look at that letter, clearly it irks him. The whole process irks him. It is getting under his skin. Yeah, its getting under his skin. He has a tendency to act more you know, even more erratic, i think, when those things happen. Who know as what hell come up with next to sort of distract us from all of this immediately after impeachment. Thats what ill be interested in seeing. Rudy giuliani has been in ukraine trying to double down on what led to impeachment in the first place. More importantly, well find out. Hell rally tonight in michigan with a split screen, rallying his supporters. Its a historic day. Cnns special coverage of todays Impeachment Vote begins at 8 00 a. M. Impeachment time.

It includes a pay raise for military and civilian federal workers, funding for Election Security grants and gun research and repeals three taxes that help pay for obamacare. Its far less than the white house was seeking. The measure still needs to clear the senate, and President Trump must sign it before federal spending expires on friday. For the first time in more than two decades, congress is allocating money to spend on gun violence. Half of the money will go to the cdc. The other half is ear marked for the National Institutes of health. A democratic congresswoman of new york led. Paid family and medical leave for 2. 1 million federal workers passed by the senate in a historic vote. The measure was backed by ivanka trump, and the president has already said he will sign it. It provides paid leave for 12 weeks. The president s daughter said she will continue to advocate for making paid family leave a possibility for all American Workers heading into the election year. Former trump adviser rick gates was sentenced to 45 days in jail and 3 year year probat. Ga gates admits to helping manafort hide money in Bank Accounts during his years in his lobbying works. He told the judge he accepts responsibility. Paul manafort is in the hospital with a heart ailment. His lawyer claims he and manaforts family are being kept in the dark about his specific medical condition. The federal bureau of prisons is not commenting citing privacy and safety concerns for inmates. Tomorrow nights democratic primary debate will go on as scheduled. A labor dispute has been tent actively resolved. All seven democratic hopefuls participating the debate declaired their support for the union last week. They said they would not attend if they had to cross the picket line. That left others frantically searching for a solution. Once a tentative deal was reached, senator Elizabeth Warren celebrated with union workers. Congratulations, unite here. You have won.
