past, i just can t imagine in my lifetime seeing a president using his political power and using his leverage to try to pressure a vulnerable nation into doing his bidding to go after a political opponent. this is despicable behavior and i m not going to let him do what he normally tries to do is to try to point pifingers of blame and try to dispratract people through his toxicity and his lies and this lies at his feet and the midwestern people deser deserve to know the truth about it. thank you tonight. this is the crucial moment about to testify about the whistle-blower complaint publicly and this is happening in just hours. so john king is next.
