Call. With us, author of the book trump nation. And director at the white house under barack obama, and also cia officer. With us from washington, fiphil rucker. At the top of the show, lets take stock as republicans continue to attack the legitimacy and some key witnesses. I think we can infefr from the white house on position to the doctors testimony that they believe that his testimony would be incriminating of the president. Their judicial philosophy is guilty. They are going to give the president a fair and impart al firing squad. This is a purple heart recipient saying the president put politics above nations security.

This is a process that has been fundamentally tainted. The president has had no rights. After a thorough inquiry, if the allegations are found to be true, they would repr
Weve got our nbc news team here with new developments and mondays biggest stories this hour. Garrett haake is on capitol hill and hans nichols is over at the white house. Day after day weve seen you chasing down various Administration Officials walking in to speak with lawmakers here. That is not going to happen today because these four men arent going to show .

Bring us up to speed there, because i heard some familiar talking points from congressman meadows and jordan. It appears they were talking about ambassador sondlands previous testimony. So help us understand what they were talking about and the other things that were tracking on capitol hill today related to this impeachment inquiry. Reporter so the reference you heard there was to some reporting from over the weekend in another publication that said ambassador sondland had told the committee that he did in fact think there was some kind of quid pro quo between the president of the United States and ukraine back when he testified week before last.
