complaint to schiff version made up of the july 25th call. closed-door interviewers, schiff, judge, jury and witness coach. everyday he loved getting american trunk on his favorite cocktail three ingredients, cherry picking leaks with key facts and misstating evidence. in a deposition in public hearings, the president council was not invited to attend, present evidence or cross-examine witnesses. republicans were not allowed to call witnesses like hunter biden, joe biden and many others. the house judiciary debacle where schiff could not show up to present his reports. he had to have one of his staffers presented it for him. this impeachment is ripping the country in half. it is a process of substance from intentions and consequences. it is a total schiff show. i am encourage all of my colleagues to vote no. i think the speaker, we continue to reserve the pal of our time. the gentleman from georgia.
which were eventually delivered but democrats allege the $400 million of military aid was held up by the president who tried to use it as leverage to pressure ukraine to investigate former vice president joe biden and his son, hunter. republicans today digging in in defense of the president. you know, that s a thing about facts. they don t change. we have the call transcript, we have the two individuals on the call, president trump, president zelensky, there was no link, pressure, or pushing whatsoever. reporter: in public hearings this week, three veteran ghats voicing their concerns about the president s conduct. late friday a fourth diplomat describing a phone call he overheard between president trump and eu ambassador gordon sondland the day after mr. trump s phone call with ukraine s president. state department official david holmes telling investigators he could hear the president s voice through ear piece of the phone asking about the investigation. holmes testified sondland
u.s. ambassador to ukraine. making clear that that is not the u.s. policy, it never has been and, in fact, according to him, that is what the u.s. is traditionally castigating other countries for doing. so you re going to see that probably come out in a kump more transcripts in the next day or two, but you re going to see that in public hearings next week. i think what we ve seen is a continued thread that lines up with one another and that s going to blow into the public sphere next week. wednesday, taylor and kent testify. friday, yavonovich testifies and all of this is going to move to camera live and in living color. and the public is going to watch everything we ve been reading in these transcripts. and that s exactly right. and it reinforces an important point to reiterate.
the days and weeks ahead. you re going to have a lot of legislative issues with trade and drug prices and stuff like that. but to keep an eye on these press conferences right now, what you want to hear or what we will most likely be asking the democrats you re going on hear from is to lay out more specifiesky of the process. now the rules of the rouls road are set. what we don t know is the timeline. we don t know who is going to be testifying in public hearings. what we don t know is the scale and scope of articles of impeachment will look like when we get to that point. if they reveal them, those are unanswered questions you re looking for. this was one vote. this is a very, very almost certain chance there will be another noor volt and one with bigger implications here in the near future. it will be interesting to see if they re hearing any concerns from their members about where this ends up in the end. public hearings, how the public views those hearings and this process going for
what say you former national security advisor ben rhodes? totally crazy, craig. and, frankly, who are these people who are applauding this absurdity coming from trump? we were not on some pathway to war with north korea. in fact, the only time that we were afraid we might get into a major war with north korea is when donald trump was tweeting threats at rocket man in 2017. he created the crisis himself. then he reaches out and lavishes praise on kim jong-un. he s called for the second summit. we know from the intelligence community of donald trump the people he appointed to lead the cia and the u.s. intelligence community, they told us in public hearings last month that north korea is not taking steps to denuclearize. there are reports that since the last summit north korea has potentially advanced elements of its nuclear plan.
