earlier today, president trump called on allies to intensify pressure on iran, as you just saw. tonight fox news sunday anchor chris wallace talks exclusively to the iranian leader. chris: mr. president , you heard president trump s speech today, he said no nation should support iran, and i quote blood lust and fanatical quest for nuclear weapons. your response? i am amazed at the interpretations of mr. trump vis-a-vis terrorism. those who succeeded in syria and iraq to bring terrorism to an end eradicate isis. with the help of the iraqi people and the syrian people, that was iran, that was the country of iran and the country that is present and flying over
an international agreement, so if united states of america has government is willing to talk, it must create the needed conditions. chris: but it is no longer just president trump, because this week the european countries who signed on to the iran nuclear deal i m talking about britain and france and germany now say that they agree with president trump that it was iran that was responsible for the saudi attack. the attack on saudi oil facilities and, like mr. trump, they say iran should now agree to a bigger new deal on nuclear weapons and on regional stability and missile systems. when you agree to reopen the talks? translator: well, once we carried on negotiations with the united states of america for two years and during a 17-day period, the foreign minister of the islamic republic of iran and u.s. secretary of state had

witch hunt, echoing the president s words. mike emanuel has been following all of this up on capitol hill and he has got the behind the scenes of what we expect from the republican leadership. good evening to you. we respect republican leaders to come out inside of the democrats have gone too far, that this is all pure politics, it s all about the 2020 campaign and trying to make sure president trump is not reelected. this comes of course after an action-packed day here on capitol hill with house speaker nancy pelosi announcing her intentions to go forward with a formal impeachment inquiry of president trump. the actions of the current presidency reveal dishonorable fact of the president s betrayal of his oath of office, betrayal of our national security, and betrayal of the integrity of our elections. therefore, today i m announcing the house of representatives moving forward with an official
democratic party s refusal to impeach him for it. last night several freshman democrats with national security backroads wrote in the washington post they are joining as a unified group, including these new allegations are a threat to all we have sworn to protect. then today, georgia democrat john lewis issued this call to action. i believe, i truly believe, the time to begin impeachment proceedings against this president has come. to delay or to do otherwise would betray the foundation of our democracy. on the senate side, majority leader mitch mcconnell said the approach there would be bipartisan. we are going to find out what happened in the senate through a process preestablished by the intelligence committee behind closed doors initially with the acting director of the nia. after president trump called for release of the transcript of
