Hour. Ali velshi is here. That would be wild if there wasnt a mention of emoluments in the konsz constitution. Even without it. If you look at the way business operates, the way we operate, the way politics operates, you protect against seeming like seeming like. For your own pocket. Even if the impression is there you protect against that. This was the danger when people didnt take the emoluments clause seriously when we discussed it. It becomes more and more on normal. We started discussing it the way he was inaugurated, talking about the trump d. C. Hotel and it has been a consistent issue ever few months since then. New stories arise, does donald trump, is he working for himself, is he working for the American Public, his golf course in scotland the blind trust thats not blind. The air force stopping and staying inviting everybody from the

To investigate what happened in the past and apply its own laws. No one in the new team had anything to do with anything that may have happened in 2016. They were making Television Shows at the time. Iral i also said it is credible to me that he would have been influenced by financial or personal motives in carrying out duties as Vice President. A different issue is whether some individual ukrainians may have attempted to influence the 2016 election or thought they could buy influence. That is at least plausible given ukraines reputation for corruption. The accusation that he acted independently did not seem credible to me. I connected mayor giuliani and the aide by text lantand later t i phone. They met in person on august 2, 2019. In conversations with me following that meeting which i did not attend, mr. Giuliani said that he had stressed the importance of ukraine conducting investigations into what happened in the past and mr. Yermoc stressed, he said it is their position to conduc
They put out a 300page report that is direct and damning and flatout says our president placed his own personal and political interests above the National Interests of the United States. Then they name names other than trump, all of them big names with a lot to lose. And there are Phone Records they link trumps guy, Rudy Giuliani, to the white house ph Budget Office and they link devin nunes with lev parnas, who may be working for the feds. All of this on the next wave of impeachment hearings, donald trump is in london. Kamala harris is out of the race. We have it all covered as The 11th Hour gets under way this tuesday night. O good evening once again from our nbc news headquarters here in new york, day 1,048 of this Trump Administration. And tonight, as expected, the
house Intelligence Committee moved the Impeachment Case to the next step. It was a straightup partyline vote 139, and with it comes a rather withering 300page report that methodically accuses the president of the United
Thank you. Ms. Divine. Thank you, mr. Maguire, for being here. We appreciate your life of Public Service. My question relates to prior to the transmission on august 26 from the ig to the dni, were there any conversations that you had with the ig prior to august 26 related to this matter . Congresswoman, theres been a lot thats happened in the last several weeks. As far as the timeline is concerned, i think that id like to get back to you and give you a full chronology if i may on the actual timeline of events. That would be very helpful to this committee in terms of, if there were any preliminary conversation, what was discussed and if there was any action taken as a result of those conversations. I want to turn to the complaint itself which is made public for the American Public to read. Let me preface this by saying i greatly appreciate your statement that you believe the whistleblower is operating in
good faith. I think thats very important for americans to hear. But on page one, an
Truth. Those facts. This is so far off field, this is ispolitical. This is totally political. And it is a dangerous moment for our country that the doj has i mean, doesnt the meeting on the tarmac with bill clinton and the airplane look quaint now . Actually, thats a perfect it looks quaint. We have been talking about what feels like a frantic publicrelations effort. Two statements released from william barr on a report hes had for some time. An extraordinary report about ao open,t ongoing investigation. Some of the most sensitive intelligence and Law Enforcement in our country. And now, guess whos weighing in . Guess. Guess. Guess. Donald j. Trump. Lets listen. Okay. Thank you very much. The ig report just came out. And i was just briefed on it and its a disgrace whats happened with respect to the things that were done to our country. It should never again happen to another president. It is incredible. Far worse than i would have ever thought possible. And its its an embarrassment to
