causeed in in country and theest of rest of the world? you plan to do nothing. are you going to depend on the w.h.o.? watch. covid-19 may have been man made and escaped from a lab of china are conspiracy theories or does he think that s possible? we went through this journey together yesterday. let s do it again. the president believes there needs to be an independent investigation run by the international community. it s an international pandemic that killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world. the chinese need to put forward data and be more transparent and hopes that will be the case. every theory should be explored but we should not jump to conclusions before that information is made available. sean: instead of the biden
also assurance of u.s. support. professor feldman, you ve stated that the president s demand to the president of ukraine constituted an abuse of power s how does the president s decision to withhold military aid affect your analysis? it means it wasn t just an abuse of power, because the president was serving his own personal interests but also an abuse of power insofar as the president was putting american national security interests behind his own personal interests. it brought together two important aspects of the abuse of power. self-gain and undercutting our national security interests. theest points to president trump using military aid for his personal benefit, not for the benefit of any official u.s. policy. prompt karlan, how would the framers have interpreted that? well, i can t speak for the framers themselves, obviously. my view is that they would say that the president s authority
removed from office? no. on what? you re going to impeach a president for asking for a favor that didn t happen and giving money and it wasn t withheld? i don t know what you would impeach him on. look, impeachment is like the death penalty for a public official. when you look at the transcript, there s nothing in that transcript that warrants the death penalty for the president. to her point about the death penalty, she s 100% right. with theest are of it, be a politician gets impeached, it is the death penalty, but to the rest of it? she didn t exonerate the president. she said when you look at the president, she doesn t think it s impeachable. that s up to the public. that will be up to us as we go through this public phase of the public hearing. every member of the house will have a chance to review the transcripts, hear the testimony and then my assumption is will draw up articles of the

helicopters trying to evacuate those in need of medical urgent care. and more than a dozen coast guard are ready to help as needed. we saw you in theest of this yesterday. there you are now as this thing is moving northward. what are you seeing as the extent of the damage? the good news is that weather conditions are somewhat better. but we still have tlaut much of this island tropical storm force winds or even hurricane force winds, and that is complicating any search and rescue operations. we are hoping for the first time in days to be able to get out and do some news gathering and see what the situation is like. last nights in our building here we saw people from the area coming in the middle of the night. these are people that evacuated as the water came crashing into
