I gave kendis my highlighter as a peace offering for being late. I expect drink tickets any day now, alex. Enjoy your weekend 37 hi, everybody. Were following several major developments today in the impeachment inquiry into President Trump. The top democrat in charge of the investigation says that the whistleblower at the center of the probe is expected to testify very soon. Meantime troubling new revelations about the back channel diplomacy with ukraine being conducted by President Trumps personal attorney Rudy Giuliani. One columneist says the presidet is putting his interests above the national interests. And the state department is ramping up its own investigation not into the whistleblower complaint but instead into the email records of dozens of current and former officials who sent messages to then secretary of state Hillary Clinton. Just because, you know, 2016 is the longest decade ever. We are going to start this hour though with what could be the start of a tense few weeks f
I think anthony is really somebody that is very much out of control. He doesnt have what it takes. He really doesnt. He wanted to come back into the administration for the last five months. Begging me to come back in. I said, i cant take you in, im sorry. I said, anthony, im sorry, i cant do that. Hes got to stop all those phone calls. Too many calls, anthony. I wouldnt take his call and lo and behold, he feels differently. Differently. But anthony was upset because he wanted certain things, to come back to the administration. As you remember better than i do, he was a disaster. Reporter [indistinct question] President Trump we have tremendous plastics coming over from asian and china.

Welcome to weekends with alex witt. Another wild 24 hours of impeachment developments, including gripping testimony at a critical hearing. A leading democrat talks about how much closer congress is to the truth. Theyre pursuing an illegal, invalid, and unconstitutional bull [ bleep ] impeachment. Yep, ugly language. The president resorts to coarse language again at his latest rally. So, whats this a sign of . After midnight, how one call from the Trump Administration tried to stop a key impeachment witness and why that call failed, for now. Disappearing act. Some of the president s closest aides stopped talking as the impeachment inquiry unfolds, but why . New detai
Criminal conversation according to some democrats. Many of whom are now saying it might have been an impeachable conversation. It is the conversation President Trump had with ukrainian president , and it is sung of a expressed whistle blower report suppressed by President Trumps acting director of National Intelligence. Well be devoting much of the hour of the breaking news of the latest trump crisis. Joined once again by a reporter of the Washington Post who has been doing extraordinary work, repeatedly breaking news on this story this week. And well be joined by who dont remember undersecretary of state Wendy Sherman who will share her unique political perspective on all of this and well discuss the sound of silence from republicans who once claimed to be concerned with intelligence issues.

For a democrat i think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty. Isnt that antisemitic . Its only antisemitic in your head. Were talking about indexing. Im not looking to do indexing. Ive been thinking about payroll taxes. We dont need it. Bring up background checks like weve never had before. We have very, very strong background checks right now. The prime ministers statement that it was absurd, it was an absurd idea, was nasty. You dont talk to the United States that way. At least to me. Excuse me, somebody had to do it. I am the chosen one. Trumpologists say this is all getting worse that is it looks wacky because it is increasingly wacky. Thats not just critics but his own people. Fewer aides around him willing or able to challenge him much less restain this less impulsive instincts. Which might explain why some other conservatives are stepping up, talk of an antitrump coalition on the right, look over at the far right where former republican congressman joe wa
