natural gas industry come i didn t speak ukrainian and yet he made millions. why did they pay him? part of the reason is his father was overseeing the obama administration s anticorruption efforts in ukraine. after hunter biden got his job, his father excessively demanded the firing of the ukrainian prosecutor who could ve investigated him. a normal person would look at that and think that s a little suspicious, definitely may be corrupt but it is criminal, actually. according to nbc news, suspecting any of this is debunked conspiracy theory. he would have to be an idiot to think otherwise according to nbc but if hunter biden did nothing shady in ukraine, it would at least be a break from the standard practice in the united states. court documents filed monday in the paternity case he is facing in the state of arkansas is a whole different story, but the mother of biden s child says that hunter biden is currently

i m don lemon. there s a lot to get to tonight. we ll catch you up in the hour ahead. noepgs, mitch mcconnell locked in a standoff over the president s impeachment trial. the speaker says the house won t vote on impeachment managers or send over the articles of impeachment until she knows more about the senate trial. but president trump wants a trial soon. so does that mean mcconnell will have to negotiate? and the president on a twitter tear today. after a scathing op-ed by the leading evangelical magazine called him grossly immoral, christianity today calling for his removal from office. what does it mean for the president s relationship with evangelical voters? and where did he come up with the debunked conspiracy theory that ukraine attacked the 2016 election? according to a former senior white house official quoted in the washington post, putin himself told him so. we ll go to moscow for a report. also a really disturbing story.
inconvenient truths, evidence-based arguments for impeaching donald trump, for doing what donald trump says he did which was to ask for investigations into burisma and a debunked conspiracy theory of 2016. the republicans on the other hand, they were playing for this nano second, for this political nano second. it is a known unknown what happens next election day. we didn t get 16 right. it s hard to predict what 2020 will bring. and the republicans spent the last, you know, ten hours or so playing it for this nano second in american politics. all of us would normally be tuning in to hear chris hayes as luck would have it is part of our family at this hour. i think what was most striking today is there were certain members of our caucuses
government, with investigating corruption. that is inherently within the authority of the president, and the department of justice to do, and that is their responsibility. here is the thing. the transcript of the july 25th phone call does not indicate that president trump brought up the issue of broad government corruption. when trump asks zelensky for the favor, his focus turns to crowdstrike and a debunked conspiracy theory suggesting ukraine meddled in the 2016 election and despite promising to follow the oath as a juror, cruz seemed to prognosticate the outcome of a trial in the senate. i think this is the beginning of the end for this show trial that we ve seen in the house. i think it is going to come to the senate. we will have fair proceedings and then not going anywhere, because the facts aren t there. joining us from washington, deputy news editor for the washington examiner david mark, good morning to you, thanks for joining us on this. good morning. politically sp
