compiling everything, putting it succinctly into a report and compacting everything we heard in those hearings. exactly. timing-wise the president is taking aim at all of this. he criticized the proceedings in a tweet yesterday. he noted, hey, i m going to be in london that day. does this at all signal that the white house will not send a representative for that hearing? because we know today is the deadline to make that decision. right. today is the deadline to make the decision for the wednesday hearing. at the end of the week is another deadline for whether the president or his counsel will participate in any of these hearings. i think it still remains to be seen whether we are going to see any participation from the white house or the white house counsel. certainly the president has very able allies in the republican congressional republicans who will be serving on this judiciary committee, including people like matt gates and jim
left field, coming in about what trump did or didn t do, there s not much question. it s an open and shut case, and for anybody that doesn t vote vote for impeachment, they are abusing their oath of office. representative you heard your fellow colleagues on the right say hang on one second, representative cohen. aren t you supposed to not have made a decision as of yet, that that you ve already made up a decision before you re open and listening to both sides of the argument? yes and no. they ve made up their minds, they ve said this is a witch hunt. they ve said it s a hoax. they ve said there s no quid pro quo. they ve said that there s nothing there, there s no there there. they ve made up their minds, so they can t really what s called estopple in the law. they re estopped to guy somebody made up their mind. in my opinion, the facts are clear, and they will be made more clear when the intelligence committee report comes out and

committee. joining me now scott wong report from the hill. good morning, scott. let s get to what house democrats are doing which is going on a pretty fast moving pace here. walk us through what s happening. do they get ahold of this tomorrow night, those on the intel committee and others to look through it and then pass it along? that s what it looks like at this point, intelligence committee aides are saying that the members themselves will get their first look at this report that adam schiff and his team have been compiling and working on throughout this thanksgiving recess. members will get the first look on monday night, they will then have 24 hours to review it, perhaps suggest changes to it and then the committee will vote on it on tuesday evening as lawmakers return from this thanksgiving recess. at that point that is the official handoff from the intelligence committee to jerry
you know, they they mulvaney saw it when he went back to try to justify their actions. after he found out about the intelligence committee report. and he tried to find a way to justify it. the president saw the same thing. they knew they d stepped in it. and and it was sticking. and they started to smell it. congressman steve cohen, congressman, happy thanksgiving. thanks very much for joining us. happy thanksgiving to you, katy. and may your turkey smell better than my description. we re going to leave it there. thank you very much. next up, elizabeth warren takes another hit in the polls. is medicare for all the wrong prescription for her campaign? keep it right here.
