And then there was a stunning charge from congressman adam schiff, alleging the president repeated kremlin propaganda and undermined u. S. Intelligence. Nancy cordes reports from capitol hill. Tal ancef thhouss authority to investigate credible allegations. Reporter obstruction of congress, the managers say, continues to this day as President Trump threatens to block key witnesses from testifying in this trial. There is no telling how many government officials would have come forward if the president hadnt issued this order. Reporter some republicans told us theyve already heard enough. I challenge anybody here if there was one new piece of information. Reporter senator, on one hand youre saying theres no new information. On the other hand, you dont want to hear from new witnesses . If its just going to delay only. I think its a question we all have to ask do we need more info . Reporter democrats say yes. Ive tried cases from the richmond Traffic Court and the u. S. Supreme court and everywhere in between. You do not have a trial without witnesses or documents. Reporter the prosecutions bottom line today President Trump embraced russian propaganda and pressured ukraine to do the same. Hes promoting this kooky, crazy server theory cooked up by the kremlin. Its a breathtaking success of russian intelligence. Reporter when it comes to adam schiff concluding tonight by urging the senate to quote, give america a fair trial, she deserves it. The president s defense team begins its opening arguments tomorrow. All right, nancy. A new report says President Trump was caught on tape at an intimate dinner at his Washington Hotel discussing the ouster of a u. S. Ambassador with two controversial figures now under indictment. Paula reid is at the white house with this story. Reporter there is new evidence tonight of the president s efforts to oust thenu. S. Ambassador to ukraine, marie yovanovitch. The recording of a private dinner at the trump hotel in april, 2018, reviewed by abc news, reveals mr. Trump telling former white house aide, John Destefano, to get rid of her. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out, a full year before yovanovitch was removed. The dinner party included lev parnas and igor fruman, two now indicted associates of rudy giuliani, who told the president yovanovitch was criticizing him to colleagues in kyiv and stood in the way of their desired investigations of the bidens. Our opinion, that she is bad mouthing him, and his reaction was he looked at me, got very angry, and basically turned around to John Destefano and said, fire her. I dont know them. Reporter the president has repeatedly denied knowing parnas or fruman, despite appearing in multiple pictures alongside them. This afternoon, he also denied discussing yovanovitchs firing at the dinner and defended her removal. I have a right to hire and fire ambassadors. Reporter the president has made his views about yovanovitch well known, calling her bad news, in the july 25 conversation with ukrainian president zelensky. I was shocked, absolutely shocked. Reporter california democrat adam schiff said the president s dinner conversation supports the ongoing impeachment efforts. It would certainly corroborate much of what weve heard.

Ever mindful of television ratings, President Trump complained today that his lawyers will begin their case tomorrow on a saturday morning which he dubbed tvs death valley. Norah. Odonnell all right, paula, thank you. President trump isnt the only one who thinks a saturday Senate Session isnt the best idea. We spoke today with vermonts bernie sanders, one of four Democratic Senators running for president here in washington, with the Iowa Caucuses just 10 days away. On saturday, the president s legal team will make their presentation. Is there anything they could say that would change your mind . Look, i am functioning as a jurist. I want to hear all sides. But i will tell you right now what has upset me the most and upset American People is how do you have a fair trial when you dont have witnesses, when you cant get documents . What is the president what are the republicans hiding . Odonnell i want to talk about your agenda. You want the government to pay for everyones health care. I want the United States to do what every other major country on earth does guarantee health care as a human right. Odonnell you have been confronted by voters on the campaign trail and acknowledged that there will be job losses as a result of such a plan. Is that a hard sell that your plan yeah, if it were true, it might be a hard sell. The American People want a Health Care System that works for them, not huge profits for the Drug Companies who are ripping us off every day and the insurance companies. At the end of the day, we will create more jobs. Will there be some job loss, yes, there will. Were going to create more jobs. We need more doctors. We need more nurses. We need more psychologists and psychiatrists to help us deal with the opioid epidemic. There will be a net plus for jobs. Odonnell you are a self proclaimed socialist. Democratic, put in there, please. Odonnell thank you. Your agenda has promised Free Health Care for everybody, Free College Tuition and to pay off Peoples College loans. The price tag for that is estimated to be 60 trillion over 10 years. Correct . Well, look, we have political opponents. Odonnell you dont know how much your plan costs . You dont know. Nobody knows. Odonnell youre going to propose a plan to the American People and not tell them how much it much it costs . Of course, i will. Do you know exactly what Health Care Costs will be one minute in the next 10 years if we do nothing . It will be a lot more expensive than a medicare for all, single payer system. Odonnell let me ask you about Vice President joe biden. He is looking for an apology of a video circulated by your campaign which he says takes his position on Social Security out of context. Will you apologize . No, of course i wont, not on that one, i wont. For many, many years as a United States senator joe biden has been on the floor and elsewhere talking about the need to freeze or cut Social Security benefits. He voted for the balanced budget amendment. Odonnell so you believe it is wrong that Vice President biden supported a freeze of cost of living adjustments in Social Security . Absolutely, bad vote. I voted against it. There are ways to raise money in order to protect working families of this country. Cutting Social Security aint one of them. Odonnell all right, senator bernie sanders, thank you for being here. Thank you.

Taylor swift is nominated for one of the biggest awards song of the year, the category rocked by allegations from suspended Recording Academy c. E. O. Deborah dugan, including that this years song of the year nomination was manipulated to include a lessdeserving artist. Can you name who that is . I dont want to name who that is for the artists integrity. Reporter the academy says dugans allegations are false.

Odonnell tonight, an arizona woman who dreamed of becoming a mom after battling cancer is considering her next move after losing in court, and her battle could impact the future of fertility treatments. Carter evans looks at this emotional case. This was my last chance to feel motherhood, to be able to carry a child and feel a kick. Reporter ruby torres is coming to terms with the fact that she may never give birth to her own child, after the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that she must donate her seven frozen embryos to someone else. It hurts very much to know that they wont be with me, that i may never see them grow. Reporter torres froze her eggs in 2014 after she was diagnosed with cancer. At the time, she and her husband both agreed to give express written consent before one could use the embryos to achieve a pregnancy. If the couple divorced, they agreed to donate the embryos. When the couple did divorce in 2017, her exhusband refused to let torres use the embryos. No one should be forced to become a father with his exwife against his wishes. Reporter the court agreed, saying torres must follow the contract she signed and donate embryos. But her case propelled arizona lawmakers to create a firstin thenation law, which now says in the case of divorce, frozen embryos will go to the spouse who intends to use them to have a baby. The law wont, however, help torres. It hurts, but im also glad that maybe somebody else who wants the opportunity to have a child will get to have one. Reporter carter evans, cbs news.
