Ill pass. The impeachment trial of President Donald Trump is nearing its conclusion after over two weeks of arguments and questioning. Last night the senate voted 5149 along party lines to bar any new testimony from witnesses, nearly guaranteeing the president s acquittal. The trial resumes next week with closing arguments beginning on monday following by potential Senate Speeches on tuesday and final vote on wednesday. However, just hours after efforts to examine new evidence, the Justice Department revealed that it has two dozen emails detailing President Trumps decision to halt Security Assistance to ukraine. The filings described email exchanges involving Defense Department officials and in some cases White House Office of management and budget officials regarding the ukraine assistance freeze. However, the Trump Administration continues to block these emails from congressional investigators. Lets bring in our panel. Former spokesperson for the House Oversight committee, host of wo
After u. S. Pilots shot down a syrian jet over syria. And i know at one level that sounds like another fraught thing that happened in the unending civil war in syria but this is actually something that never happens. It has been more than a decade since the United States shot down a manned aircraft from another countrys military. Its just something that doesnt happen. But now it has happened and we dont know what the response is going to be in syria or anywhere else. Syrias government is internationally isolated but they do have allies. Most relevant ones here are russia and iran. Both of which are heavily involved in the war in syria on the syrian governments side. We dont know what either of the countries or syria will do in response to this but this shoot down of a Syrian Military plane, this is a very unusual thing that the United States has just done. And even though i know that news from the Syrian Civil War can kind of blur, can all kind of start to seem like a different version
Family announced that he died. The white house put out a statement mourning his death and condemning the brutality of the north korean regime. But there really is no clarity on what happened here. No clarity on what happened to this young man. And honestly, no sense from the white house or from the administration more broadly that they have any sense that theyre going to get clarity on what happened here. But now this young man is dead. We are also watching tonight to see if theres another shoe thats going to drop militarily after u. S. Pilots shot down a syrian jet over syria. And i know at one level that sounds like another fraught thing that happened in the unending civil war in syria but this is actually something that never happens.

We have the manafort filing that you talked about a moment ago on your show. Were going to get into it a little more. Rachel, thank you, have a wonderful weekend. Tonight, donald trump is once again forcing us to ask what is behind the president s public affection for russia . Its a question weve been asking since at least the summer of 2016 when donald trump and i had this exchange right after he asked russia to hack the emails of the democratic president ial candidate. You said the russians he has no respect. You said i welcome them to find those 30,000 emails. They probably have them. Id like to have them released. Does that not give you pause . No. You know what gives me more pause, that a person in our government, crooked Hillary Clinton be quiet, i know you want to save her. If russia or china or any other country has those emails, to be honest with you id love to see them. Donald trumps strange affection for russia has now opened a new rift between america and its closest allies
