glaude, nick confessore, mara, steve schmidt, most of all to you for watching. "mtp daily" with chuck todd starts now. welcome to thursday. it's "meet the press daily." good evening and i am chuck todd here in washington. on a day that's raised more questions about impeachment than answers. it began with house speaker nancy pelosi formally instructing democratic leaders to proceed with drafting articles of impeachment. essentially, the indictment that they would send over to the senate in the wake of a house intelligence committee's report about the president's conduct with ukraine. but then pelosi told reporters that she believes the heart of the democrats' case for removing president trump doesn't revolve around ukraine. it revolves around russia.
