Cnn White House Reporter Sarah Westwood is live at the white house for us. Kelly says he warned President Trump months ago that hed be impeached. We now have this impeachment inquiry in overdrive, even conducting hearings on the weekend. Does the white house have a strategy yet .

Case . But first we begin with an exclusive report from nbc news about some of the 65 hours of closeddoor testimony given to the house impeachment committees by Trump Administration officials. Nbc news reports at least three current and former u. S. Officials have all made the same startling admission, a coveted white house vivid for the new ukrainian leader had been explicitly conditioned on his agreeing to investigations that could have helped President Trumps reelection. And when Gordon Sondland was asked pointblank under oath whether that constituted a quid pro quo, he did not dispute it, people with knowledge of his testimony said. Nbc news reports that, thanks to testimony like this and thanks to Public Comments from trump, his aides, and his allies, quote, a portrait is emerging of a quid pro quo that evolved over time when the president progressively upping the ante when his demands were not met.
