This is America and the morning from Westwood One News I'm John trout It's Wednesday December 11th 2019 coming up on American Morning political history was made as official charges were levied against the president abuse of power and obstruction of Congress those are the articles of impeachment the actions of President Trump gave Congress no alternative canyoning blushing to House Democrats move toward impeachment they also give the president a win of sorts on the u.s. M.c.a. I'm Bob Constantini at the White House and hours long gun battle between police and 2 men in Jersey City left the detective and 3 innocent victims dead along with the 2 gunmen I'm Steve cast and would you buy a plant based burger at McDonald's I'm Stephanie Shelton millions of student debt will be forgiven under the f.t.c. Biggest ever settlement against a for profit college I'm Dan Johnson word of a years worth a triple. Yes there's a story. All ahead on American Morning. 7 minutes after the hour House Democrats have officially announced another landmark step in the impeachment process correspondent Linda Kenyatta has the details House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler made the announcement the House Committee on the judiciary is introducing 2 articles of impeachment The 1st is for abuse of power and the 2nd for obstruction of Congress chairman Adler explained the charges stem from the president's efforts to pressure Ukraine to announce investigations of Trump's political rivals notably Joe Biden as he would help Congressionally approved military aid to that country Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff defended the articles and the speed with which the house arrived at the argument why don't you just wait amounts to this why don't you just let him cheat in one more election chairman Adler explains what comes next the Judiciary Committee will need to consider these articles of impeachment and to make. A recommendation to the full House of Representatives House minority leader Kevin McCarthy decries the action by House Democrats I just hope no Congress ever repeats what we're going through today leader McCarthy accused Democrats of blank pure politics Alexander Hamilton warned us that this day would come that a majority would use their political power just for politics even though we all raise our hands to uphold the Constitution House Minority Whip Steve scholastic uses Democrats of abuse of power Speaker Pelosi Adam Schefter and her counterparts have been abusing the power of impeachment because they're afraid Donald Trump will get reelected on his own with the House Judiciary Committee on track to vote on articles of impeachment by week's end and the full House to follow by the end of next week the focus will soon turn to the u.s. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says an impeachment trial will come after the Christmas break the House managers had come over to make their argument the president's lawyers would respond after that says McConnell the Senate has 2 choices calling witnesses and basically having another trial or it could decide and again $51.00 members could make the decision that they've heard enough and believe they know what would happen and could move to vote on the 2 articles of impeachment it would take $67.00 senators to vote to convict President Trump on the 2 articles of impeachment a very high hurdle indeed says Leader McConnell tough it out that totally surprised if there were 67 senators to remove the president Linda Kenney on Capitol Hill this is Bob Costin Teenie at the White House on his way to a campaign rally in Hershey Pennsylvania President Trump dismissing the 2 articles of impeachment drawn up by the House Judiciary Committee would see terrible thing where they do something like that but now it goes to I guess a voted nice SUV. They will probably have the votes are very weak article the president thanks Republicans for sticking together against what he called once again a witch on. Labeling his phone call with Ukraine's leader a perfect conversation the president was watching the articles of impeachment announcement tweeting in response now just said that I pressured Ukraine to interfere in our 2020 election ridiculous and he knows that is not true both the president in foreign minister of Ukraine said many times that they are in all caps was no pressure now there in the Dems know this but refuse to acknowledge with impeachment in one hand in the other Democrats were giving President Trump a much needed win on the Us Mexico Canada agreement the replacement for NAFTA that tightens regulations and promises more work for auto industries in particular and his her she rally President Trump accused the speaker Nancy Pelosi of wanting it both ways they do the it Pietschmann that right away let's do us subsidies right on top of it you'd think she'd wait like a day she wanted to smother the impeachment crowd but Democrats many of whom were not fans of NAFTA say approval was told to so they could insist on changes to the original document sent up by the Trump White House that u.s.m.c.

Heavily armed police converged on a kosher grocery store where 2 gunmen were held up earlier they were involved in a shooting of a police officer at a nearby cemetery a Jersey City detective was approaching a van that he thought was connected to a gang related murder in Bayonne officials said he was shot in the head and was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital later in the day police say the gunman stole a U.-Haul truck which they then ditched and ran into the store that's when the gun battle erupted our officers were under fire for hours Jersey City Police Chief Michael Kelly said the gunman were firing high powered rifles indiscriminately at anything and everything that included a school across the street. Massive response from police from several jurisdictions followed several hours later 5 people inside the store were dead we believe 2 of them are bad guys we believe from Rio more not maybe civilians that were inside the store they were reportedly 2 customers and a cashier Chief Kelly said preliminarily they believe the 3 innocent people were killed by the gunman but the investigation will make a final determination that a tech who was killed was 40 year old Joseph seals a father of 5 Chief Kelly said he worked daily with the unit dedicated to removing illegal guns from the streets he was Eileen police officer moving guns from the street dozens and dozens of handguns who's responsible for removing from the street New Jersey governor Phil Murphy who gave his life in the line of duty and in the name of service to his community he praised the Jersey City police officers and other law enforcement agents who responded to the shoot out and we cannot thank them enough.

Tricks that would like to and are raising the idea of a sensor but Speaker Pelosi is from San Francisco the chairmen are also from very strong Democratic districts they said we're going forward so we're going forward and some of them have primary opponents who attack them as hard as it is for many of us to believe from the left that's true of Nancy Pelosi it is true of Gerry dad or the chair of the Judiciary Committee and some of them are afraid that they might meet the same fate that Joe Crowley bad at the hands of a l c Yes I think that's a good point and a lot of analysis has been like what's good for the party what's good for the party and certainly Speaker Pelosi Gerrie Nel or Adam Schiff they want what's good for the party but their priority is what's good for themselves in the reelection they're all from very big Democratic districts 83 percent of Democrats want to move forward it's going to be hard for them not to move forward and California's top 2 system plus he's always faced a Republican in the general but if a Democrat gets 11 percent and qualifies for the general ballot a democratic socialist that would be trouble for her so she's got to consolidate support now and yet as much as they want to be reelected they also want to retain their committee chairmanships there were in her case the speakership and this process forward certainly dangers those 31 Democrats in the House districts carried by Donald Trump in 2016 so that's a risk that they're taking Yeah it's a risk and earlier in the spring of last year she said she would move forward unless it was bipartisan with overwhelming evidence kind of playing that role of speaker to protect those $31.00 but now that we're close to election and support amongst Democrats is so high she's got to move forward for a home district but you're right she still wants the Democratic Party keep majority there's 204 Democrats not from trauma districts they also have Justin Amash 2 is a former Republican independent out of Michigan that's 2 a 5 they need to 18 a pass they only need 13 of those $31.00. Yes and he has their phone number see a man have already figured out that he has 13 here in the Senate we then would see a sort of trial in the New Year ad there now apparently a sub disagreement between the Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell and President trub about how to proceed Connell has said he wants to get this out of the way quickly to move efficiently through the trial get on to other business he's already have outs that after Speaker Pelosi and President drop announce the deal on the new day after that that there will not be a vote of the Senate on that until after such a trial he'd like to get around to that the president of the other had apparently is of the view that a show trial would work to his favor so far the peach but proceedings of the House have increased his approval rating his standing in the polls and he thinks that that would be increased even further by a more lengthy trial your thoughts your rights so President Trump it's interested in having a full trial which is interesting because one of the charges is obstruction of Congress and he's interested in the Senate doing a full trial but the majority leader Mitch McConnell is not as interested in this a 3rd of the senators are up for reelection also in their states and he would like to move on when possible other significant differences between what is approaching here and the previous 2 Senate trials of Andrew Johnson 868 and Bill Clinton and like Gene 98 or 9 I guess it was yes so it depends on who you ask I think if you ask a Democrat the similarity here is Nixon both in the charges but if you ask a Republican they might say the similarity of the Andrew Johnson trial the Andrew Johnson trial was about can the president do his job and or Johnson wanted to fire the secretary of war which we largely think the president does control their cabinet that had been President Lincoln's person in. Secretary Warren Johnson wanted to replace him and so that was the charge back for Andrew Johnson is also very partisan scenario it's not like Bill Clinton where we had an independent counsel and we were patient and also Clinton was caught into a judicial proceeding with a court case so that's not happening here with Trump doctrine of the idle cognate of Charlton State University in Texas and 16 till now President Trump has long been pushing for a replacement for the North American Free Trade Agreement He's now on the verge of getting his wish John Lawrence reports a major moment for the Trump White House Congress will soon vote on my new trade deal the u.s. Or Mexico Canada agreement or u.s. M.c.a.
