reporter: at 9:00 am, one of the most anticipated witnesses, ambassador to the eu gordon houthi ainsley: gordon sondland will appear along with david hail. lots more on tap today. heather: afternoon into evening as it was yesterday. witnesses in the impeachment hearing reiterating hunter biden raised concerns of potential conflicts of interest, real clear investigation, mark hemingway agrees, the story doesn t add up. hunter biden, doesn t make sense. his lawyer put out a statement last month saying it was all about corporate reform and transparency, helping improve business practices.
now trying to save himself, telling a story that in some ways doesn t add up. he says, of course it s not appropriate for the president s outside attorney to be directing foreign policy, that should be done by the state department. he said it s not appropriate for the president to direct a foreign government to investigate one of his political opponents. he says throughout this time he was working to get ukraine to advance an investigation into corruption into buries ma. he had no idea that made joe biden and hunter biden, and when the president first brought this up, he thought it was part of a legitimate effort by the president to advance our interests to have ukraine investigate corruption. this, of course, was just several weeks after the new york times reported multiple stories what rudy giuliani was after on behalf of the president was to get an investigation into joe biden. i think in some ways sondland s story doesn t add up. i think it s important he s here testifying and do
dictators and authoritarians over those own intelligence agencies, and he has done it with putin in russia, he has done it with the crown prince of saudi arabia, and now he is doing it with kim. it is especially of north korea. it is especially galling because he doesn t seem to relate to the fact that kim runs these huge concentration camps. the u.n. says he has anywhere between 80,000 to 120,000 people in gioulags. he murdered two members of his own family, he medically experiments with his own people. and this young man comes home and trump says, i believe him about how this young man, otto warmbier, died. the story doesn t add up. he also is claiming i got warmbier out of there. how did he do that without kim being absolutely on top of it and knowing exactly what was going on? right. kim had to know right from the beginning. right. it is not as if there s, you know, flights coming and going that kim jong-un would be unaware, oh, a comatose american
authoritarians over his own intelligence agencies. he had done it with putin in russia, the crown prince of saudi arabia, and now with kim. it s especially of north korea and especially galling because he doesn t seem to relate to the fact that kim runs these huge concentration camps. the u.n. says he s got 80,000 to 120,000 people in gulags. he s murdered two members of his own family. he medically experiments with people, and this young man, and trump says well, i believe him about how this young man, otto warmbier, died. the story doesn t add up. he s also claiming, i got warmbier out of there. how did he do that without kim being absolutely on top of it and knowing exactly what was going on? kim had to know right from the beginning. it s not as if there s flights coming and going that kim would be unaware. oh, a come toez american is being flown out of the country.
indicating it did not involve the crown prince. any standing order. this came from under the previous king. everything that we hear and every iteration does seem to be designed to protect crown prince muhammad bin salman in all of this. it is damaging because it doesn t add up. each story doesn t add up. you have to wait for the next accounting of the facts. we are hearing it is no longer credible. what is becoming apparent, we just heard the german chancellor angela merkel just spoke with the saudi king. we heard they are reaching over the heads of of tthe crown prin. president trump talked to gina haspel over what she learned and the information turkey gave her. thank you, nic. 14 kindergartners injured at the school in southwest china.
