This is the cbs evening news with Norah Odonnell reporting tonight from washington. Odonnell good evening, and thank you so much for joining us. There are indications tonight that what weve heard so far in the impeachment inquiry is just the tip of the iceberg. The president s former National Security adviser john bolton and his lawyer indicating today he has personal knowledge of key meetings and conversations that have not come up thus far in the investigation. This indicates theres so much more that we still dont know. Were also learning tonight that fiona hill, a former top analyst for the white house, told congressional investigators that she received Death Threats before testifying last month. Testimony from hill and Army Lieutenant colonel Alexander Vindman have now brought the ukraine scandal one step away from the president and his top aide and acting chief of staff. Nancy cordes leads us off tonight from capitol hill. Im not concerned about anything. The testimony has all been fine. Reporter the president insisted again today that he did nothing wrong, but newly released transcripts from two key witnesses suggest the president s own acting chief of staff helped establish the terms of a quid pro quo. Fiona hill, the former white house senior russia director, told lawmakers that Mick Mulvaneys name came up at a july meeting. She says u. S. Ambassador to the e. U. , gordon sondland, was talking about how he had an agreement with chief of staff mulvaney for a president ial meeting with the ukrainians if they were going to go forward with investigations. White house ukraine director alex vindman was at the meetingg rainiald havto bidens. T it was explicit. D th this d coordinated with chief of staff mulvaney. The money held up had absolutely nothing to do with biden. Reporter mulvaney, who ignored a subpoena today, has downplayed his role. I never said there was a quid pro quo. Because there isnt. Reporter but fiona hill says former National Security adviser john bolton was so alarmed by the meeting that he told her to go straight to a Top White House lawyer. Tell eisenberg that i am not part of whatever drug deal sondland and mulvaney are cooking up on this, he said. In a court filing today, lawyers suggested that bolton has more he can share with congress if a federal judge clears the way. Bolton, they write, had many relevant meetings and conversations that have not yet been discussed in the testimonies so far. Odonnell nancy joins us from the hill. So many details. What about fiona hill . She revealed today shes been harassed and received Death Threats. Is she still willing to testify publicly . Reporter amazingly, yes, norah. Though she said she has gotten calls at her home, people screaming obscenities, one individual even banging on her door, all, apparently, because she agreed to speak to lawmakers. She says that she knows of one other witness, marie yovanovitch, who went through something similar after Rudy Giuliani spread unfounded ienspiracy theories about her, both here in the u. S. And abroad. Odonnell all right, nancy, thank you. Tonight, were hearing from one of the few Trump Administration officials who parted ways with the president on relatively good terms. Former South Carolina governor nikki haley served for nearly two years as President Trumps ambassador to the united nations. She has a new book coming out that details what she saw during her time in the administration. We interviewed haley for cbs sunday morning. Do you think ultimately the president will be impeached and removed from office . No. On what . Youre going to impeach a president for asking for a favor that didnhayou wo impeach him on. And, look, norah, impeachment is like the Death Penalty for a public official. When you look at the transcript, theres nothing in that transcript that warrants the Death Penalty for the president. And i think that to be clear it was not a complete transcript. There are still things that are ssssing from it, and in it he does say, i would like you to do us a favor, though. The ukrainians never did the investigation, and the president released the funds. I mean, when you look at those, theres just nothing impeachable there. And more than that, i think the biggest thing that bothers me is the American People should decide this. Why do we have a bunch of people in Congress Making this decision . , odonnell well, you can see more of our interview with former u. N. Ambassador nikki haley on cbs sunday morning. President trump said today he may release a new transcript of his first call with the leader of ukraine. At the same time, his daughter publicly disagreed with his desire to reveal the whistleblowers identity. Reula reid now on conflicting views in the trump family. Reporter President Trump continued his attack on the whistleblower who led House Democrats to open the impeachment inquiry. The whistleblower is a disgrace to our country, a disgrace. And the whistleblower, because of that, should be revealed. Reporter the president s repeated accusations about the whistleblower prompted the individuals attorney to send a cease and desist letter to the white house, warning that as a direct consequence of the president s irresponsible rhetoric and behavior, their clients physical safety became a significant concern. Traveling in morocco, ivanka trump took a different view than her father on the significance of the whistleblowers identity. To me, its not particularly relevant, aside from what the motivation behind all of this was. Reporter her comments came as a soontobe published book by an anonymous senior Trump Administration official is topping the bestseller list. The author claims that senior Trump Administration officials were so concerned about the president s conduct, that they considered resigning en mass last year in a midnight self massacre. They ultimately rejected the idea out of concern it would further destabilize an already teetering government. White House Press Secretary haephanie grisham said, the coward who wrote this book didnt put their name on it because its nothing but lies. The author says he or she does not describe events in great detail because they dont want to make it too easy to figure out who wrote the book. But, norah, the author says he or she may be willing to go public at some point. Odonnell all right, paula, thank you. Tonight, former new york city mayor Michael Bloomberg is a big step closer to announcing that hes running for president. An adviser says bloomberg would likely skip campaigning in early voting states like iowa and New Hampshire, and instead focus on super tuesday states. Ed okeefe tonight on that other new york billionaire who could shake up the race. Reporter former mayor Mike Bloomberg kept a low profile today as his aides turned in paperwork for the primary in alabama, and there are plans to do so in other states next beak. But a wouldbe democratic opponents believe bloomberg should spend his billions some other way. I think its a savagely broken system that people who have wealth can somehow leapfrog others who might be as viable or more viable candidates. Reporter senator elizabeth trren welcomed him to the race by tweeting out a link to the billionaires calculator showing what he would owe in taxes if she were president. S the mayor said hed previously stay out of the race because of former vice vice all right, where i do sign, boss . Reporter but the former veep, who filed his own president ial paperwork in New Hampshire today, is falling behind warren and Bernie Sanders in some polls. Biden says bloomberg neednt worry. And in terms of hes running because of me, in the last polls i looked at im pretty far ahead. Reporter and then theres a fellow new yorker with a strong opinion President Trump. But he doesnt have the magic to do well. There is nobody id rather run against than little michael. That i can tell. Duthier a new nickname, ed, night. Look, bloomberg was the republican mayor of new york city. Now hes running as a democrat. How does he fit in . Well he would run as a moderate and he would run on his record as mayor, on issues like healthcare and gun control, an issue which he gets a lot of credit these days from democrats. A poll last month found just 6 of likely democratic primary voters said theyd definitely vote for him if he runs. Odonnell ed, thank you so much. Winter is still 43 days away, but for many of us the big chill ig already here. At least a dozen states are shivering with temperatures below freezing, and its going to get worse. More than 170 cities face recordcold temperatures in the days ahead, and in some places, it could be 30 degrees below normal. The president of turkey visits washington next week at President Trumps invitation. Protests are expected over turkeys invasion into syria and the slaughter of americas abandoned allies. As Charlie Dagata reports from inside syria, the kurds are fighting back. Reporter men hauling sledgehammers, women loaded up with rocks, teenagers even Children Armed with eggs. Kurdish protesters who lost loved ones in turkeys invasion were not about to let a turkish and russian convoy pass through without a fight. Theyve been gathering in this field for a couple of hours and they actually put some stones down in the road in order to slow the vehicles as they pass by. The convoy came into sight, but then took a sharp right. Protesters gave chase, cut them off at the next turn, and unleashed their anger. Erlting them with everything they had. A hint of the competing forces, u. S. Troops must now contend with. This chaos just gives you an idea how congested this region is as russian and turkish patrols pass through an area that at least on some level is supposed to be under control of america and its kurdish allies here. And they say this is americas fault for abandoning syrian kurds in the first place. What about your message to america . America . If you make a promise, keep it, she said. Otherwise, just leave and let us deal with it ourselves. In that crowd today, norah, we found the mother of a female politician executed in the street by turkishbacked gunmen. She blames the u. S. For her death, and refuse told speak with us, an American News crew. Odonnell all right, amarlie, thank you.

Rhonita miller and her four children, including eightmonth old twins. They were laid to rest in their home town, the remote colonia lebaron. Of the eight children who survived, several are still recovering, including eight yearold cody who, according to a relative, will not be able to talk for six weeks following surgery where his jaw had to be wired shut. And while Mexican Security forces have provided protection for family members during the funerals, many worry about what happened when those forces are gone.
