chairman adam schiff was on tv a little bit earlier, and he says he doesn t believe that any articles of impeachment drawn will include the mueller report. here s a listen. we have all the chairs with nadler and his staff as to what we think would be appropriate in the set of articles. i can t go into those particular discussions but i can tell you as a former prosecutor it s always been my strategy in a charging decision and impeachment of the house is essentially a charging decision, to charge those that there is the strongest and most overwhelming evidence and not try to charge everything even though you could charge other things. so why not use the mueller report? well it s interesting. there is a strong argument that they could if they chose, have obstruction of justice article of impeachment because the mueller report said in certain instances it found substantial
to fully vet this out. they did say they re still working at this hour to determine the shooter s motive. from that press conference we still have a number of questions, a number of questions that i and fellow reporters asked that we did not get answers to, because they say they re still in the midst of the investigation. we wanted to know who was being questioned, looked at and specifically whether anybody else knew about this beforehand. now, i did ask about some reporting from our colleague pete williams through his law enforcement sources saying the shooter held a dinner party in the week leading up to the shooting where he invited three fellow saudi classmates over and they watched mass shooting videos together. they would not speak to that at all. they did say there are several saudi students who were known to be associates of this shooter, who have been restricted on a base by their saudi commanding officer. take a little bit of a listen to what we heard from the press conferenc
but he has his own investigation going on. there s a prosecutor out of connecticut who is running a separate criminal investigation into the same thing that the inspector general is going to present facts on tomorrow. the difference is that john durham, this prosecutor, can go further. he can look into the cia and things beyond the inspector general s purview. the thinking is that bar will let the ig have his day tomorrow but he could come back with other facts in the future that do refute what we see. the investigation of the investigators will continue for a little bit. absolutely. and it continues to muddy the waters leading up to the election, leading to the impeachment. it s really going to be hard to say we have any definitive answers for a really long time. thank you. thank you. with an ad blitz and reports of high paid staffers, michael bloomberg is making up for lost time by pouring his own money into the presidential campaign. but will it pay off? l campaign but wil
and partisan action against the president and not something broader and not something that would draw in republican votes as well. again, the votes will be counted when they re counted, but that seems to fall in the category of the vice president doing what he can to be supportive of the president in this phase where really the white house has very little control here. they ve declined to participate. for them it s largely a waiting game. even mitt romney has been cautious about what he s said about the process. thank you, kelly. 2020 candidates are out on the campaign trail today with a hand full of stopping points in iowa, new hampshire, and south carolina. amid the campaigning, there s a little bit of a feud that is taking place between pete buttigieg and elizabeth warren, and it has escalated in recent days as warren has slipped behind in recent polls in iowa. now, warren criticizing buttigieg for not disclosing who
middle east. if that s true, that would make it an act of terrorism. it s a violence against innocent individuals for political aim. that s a terrorist act. i think there s clearly no question this is an act of terrorism. but i think the fbi is just choosing the words carefully. now, officials confirmed the he was able to purchase a gun legally. how was that possible? step back a little bit here. first, we have three dead sailors. these really heroic americans who volunteered to serve their country. one just graduated from the naval academy. another is a volunteer just out of high school, an arab american. both of whom it looks like actually ran toward the shooting to try to save lives. really heroic acts. this individual who was here training to be a pilot and we train about 1,000 saudis at any given time in our military academies, the fbi said he was able to purchase the handgun legally. foreign nationals as i
