testify that he was actually a conversation. he said that pence, that he told pence the vice president, the aid was linked the to investigations and pence simply nodded. so to show what a fraud this whole investigation has been, he said there was a prebroefing before the meeting. that was in a secure environment. i was a part of that. i asked everybody else in that and nobody remembers sondland saying such a thing which is why we believe his allegation is entirely false, but, wolf, again, the democrat witnesses who came forward themselves said in every conversation the vice president had in his meetings he had, he never raised burisma, the bidens, specific vest g investigatio investigations. you think sondland is lying? they their own witnesses said it didn t happen. it sondland lying to congr s congress? i m not going to suggest he s lying.
that reporter was out of line. it s out of line for doug collins to say that we hate the president. but her point was those are election issues. this is an issue of urgency on impeachment and if we re going to honor our oath to the constitution, we have to act now. let s talk about what nancy pelosi announced today in an historic moment this morning when she said the house of representatives has no choice but to proceed with articles of impeachment. do you already know what those will contain? well, we know what the president s exposure is. we saw powerful uncontradicted evidence during the intelligence committee hearings, that he used his office, our tax pare dollars to ask a foreign government to cheat in an election. that exposes him to abuse of power as it relates to extortion. also the offense of bribery and congress and his unwillingness to communicate any documents to congress as well as any potential obstruction of justice. the exposure and now we have to figure out what
appearance that i think america will have is they re wondering why isn t congress doing things they should be doing. what s happening to trade deals? what s happening to drug pricing legislation? what s happening to infrastructure legislation? they want to know why is congress wasting this time on this sham investigation when an election is 11 months off. there s about to be articles of impeachment against the president. i assume you re not going to cooperate with the house of representatives, the white house, not you personally, but what about when there s a senate trial, what s the strategy? i think you re going to see a very wholesome defense when it gets to the senate because i believe there will be a fair process there. when the president keep tweeting if there s a trial, he wants hunter biden to testify, nancy pelosi, adam schiff. all these individuals. is that realistic? i don t know. i look right now, the current situation is you have documents you ve read about the vic
past as well as the election which led me b to believe the obstruction of justice act. which would be no surprise which given there s been stone walling effort after effort to try to evade congress from having a fruitful investigation. the that and of course the abuse of power umbrella about having to compromise national security for one s campaign. she had a rather nasty change with a reporter after her news conference today. let me play this. you hate the president? because i don t hate anybody. representative don t hate anybody. not anybody in the world. i resent you re using the word in the sentence that addresses me. i don t hate anyone. i was raised in a way that is full of, a heart full of love and always pray for the president. and i still pray for the president. i pray for the president all the time. so don t mess with me when it comes to words like that.
a reporter who asked her if she hates president trump and she said don t mess with me. straight to capitol hill. our senior congressional correspondent is joining us. pelosi s announcement truly historic and is clear now that the democrats are moving very quickly to impeach the president by christmas. yeah, virtually no doubt the president will get impeached by the house. ultimate ly the question can is what do those articles of impeachment look like. how many democrats for and what we re hearing from our sources is that the discussions are centering on abuse of power also potentially bribery. that would also include obstruction of congress for defying sdefy ing subpoenas and they may be hooking beyond ukraine and whether he abused his office in his dealings to also include
