Take a live look at the white house. President trump is waking up there this morning as the third american president in history ever to be impeached facing these headlines in major newspapers. You can see it right there, these front pages all across the country. Those are headlines the president never hoped to see but at a rally overnight trump blasted the effort calling it a political suicide for democrats. Next up a senate trial, but House Speaker nancy pelosi is raising questions about the timing and fairness of that trial. Senior Congressional Correspondent mary bruce was there on capitol hill for this historic moment tracking the fallout now. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, george. Months of intense debate came to a partisan pinnacle here last night but this fight is far from over. All eyes are now on the senate and the power plays there that will determine the president s fate just months before the election. Overnight, history in the house. Article 1 is adopted. Reporter with that swing of the gavel President Trumps legacy marked with impeachment. Only the third president in u. S. History. The charges, abuse of power and obstruction of congress. The votes along near party lines. Not a single republican breaking ranks. Democrats largely united too, just a few opposing impeachment. As the house was voting trump rallying his troops. In battle creek, michigan. It doesnt really feel like were being impeached. We did nothing wrong and we have tremendous support in the Republican Party like weve never had before. Reporter he insists democrats are the ones who will pay the political price. Through their depraved actions today, crazy Nancy PelosisHouse Democrats have branded themselves with an eternal mark of shame. Reporter and he attacked democratic congresswoman Debbie Dingell who voted to impeach him going after her husband, congressman john dinll, who died earlier this year. Maybe hes looking up, i dont know. Maybe. But lets assume hes looking down. Reporter the congresswoman responding, your hurtful words just made my healing much harder. On capitol hill, republicans lockstep with the president adamant he did nothing impeachable. This vote this day is about one thing and one thing only, they hate this president. They hate those of us who voted for him. They think were stupid. They think we made a mistake. They want to take away my vote and throw it into the trash. Reporter but democrats say trumps actions left them no choice, that he invited foreign interference into the u. S. Election by pressuring ukraine into investigate one of his chief rival, joe biden. He compromised our National Security so that he could keep power, not power for the people, power for himself. Reporter democrats say they had to act now because the president presents a clear and present danger. Chairman adam schiff with a warning across the aisle. If you ignore it, if you say the president may refuse to comply, may refuse lawful process, may coerce an ally, may cheat an election because hes the president of our party, you do not uphold our constitution. You do not uphold your oath of office. Well, i will tell you this, i will uphold mine. I will vote to impeach donald trump. Reporter this fight now moves to the Republicancontrolled Senate and expect mcconnell and schumer will sit down and hammer out a plan for the trial early next year but the republican leader has made very clear he plans to be in, quote, total coordination with the white house and does not expect the president to be removed from office. One thing that could delay the trial, mary, this idea that House Speaker nancy pelosi is now considering holding withholding sending house impeachment managers over to the senate as leverage in negotiations with the senate with witnesses. Reporter this came as a bit of a surprise. The speaker after the vote would not commit to sending the articles of impeachment over to the Senate Citing concerns about an unfair trial. Now, some democrats have been suggesting that they do this to get some leverage in a fight over their terms including, of course, democrats demands that they call certain witnesses. Mary bruce, thanks very much. Lets bring in White House Press secretary Stephanie Grisham now. Thank you for joining us. We heard President Trump overnight calling this an eternal mark of shame for democrats but how concerned is he behind closed doors that impeachment will be an indelible mark on his record . Thank you for having me. The president has said many times that this isnt something he necessarily wants on his resume but its been very clear from the start that this has been a very partisan impeachment and history isnt just going to look kindly on the democrats led by nancy pelosi and schumer and nadler and thats i think what the president has been saying and if you look at the polling numbers and its showing that the American People also are seeing whats going on. His polling numbers continue to go up in terms of americans dont want to see impeachment and they dont support impeachment. Well, split down the middle actually on impeachment but moving on to the senate trial right now. We now know that Speaker Pelosi and the democrats want witnesses in the senate trial, an idea that President Trump has endorsed. Lets take a look. When its fair, it will fair in the senate, i would love to have mike pompeo. Id love to have mick. Id love to have rick perry and many other people testify, but i dont want them to testify when this is a total fix. I want them to testify but i want them to testify in the senate where theyll get a fair trial. So will President Trump now ask those witnesses to appear at the senate trial . Well, im not going to get ahead of the legal strategy being looked at right now and then now as you guys talked about earlier, nancy pelosi, it looks like she may not even send the articles over to the senate which is another gimmick and more changing of the rules. The president will be represented by a very strong team and as he has said, as i have said, we do hope for and know and are confident that we will get a very fair shake in the trial over there and will be able to tell our story and the American People will be able to see what the president has been saying all along that hes done absolutely nothing wrong. The only evidence if i can just say one more thing, the only evidence truly out there are the transcripts the president he himself released and, again, he did nothing wrong. Well, actually 70 according to polling of americans think he did something wrong and there is a body of testimony showing that the military aid was withheld and a white house meeting was withheld as the president was asking for these political investigations. Not political investigations, we wanted to look into corruption. Thats very important and i think if the media would cover this fairly, then perhaps people wouldnt think he did anything wrong. He was looking into corruption. He wanted to make sure that the new president of ukraine was holding up his end of the deal which is what he ran on which was no corruption. He wanted to make sure that before taxpayer dollars went to another country the corruption would be done. You just used the word corruption several times, a word the president never used in that phone call. With the ukrainian president but he mentioned the bidens. He said do us a favor, meaning the country and he asked that we look into they look into corruption which Vice President biden is on the videotape talking about and a prosecutor in the ukraine got fired and they would withhold money. That is corruption so that was an example being used. That was not corruption. That was u. S. Foreign policy, it was the policy of the world bank at the time and policy of the European Union and, again, the president didnt use the word corruption in that phone call but i do want to move on to the president s comments about congressman dingell last night. We showed them in mary bruces piece right there, its drawing rebukes from Many Democrats but also from republicans. Cindy mccain has tweeted and fred upton from michigan has put up a tweet. He says, ive always looked up to john dingell, my good friend and a great michigan legend. There was no need to dis him in a crass, political way. Most unfortunate and an apology is due. Will the president apologize to the dingell family . I havent spoken to the president about that. I would say that i am very, very sorry for her loss and i would thank her and her late husband for all of the service to our country. The president did lower the flags at the white house to halfstaff to do everything he could to honor him at her request. So well see what happens from there. We do thank them for their service and again very sorry for her loss. Why do you think the president said that overnight . Youd have to talk to the president about that. He was at a political rally. He has been under attack and under impeachment attack for the last few months and then just under attack politically for the last 2 1 2 years. I think that as we all know the president is a counterpuncher. It was a very, very supportive and wild crowd and he was just riffing on some of the things that had been happening the past few days. Final question and thank you for coming today. Your first time on Good Morning America. Thank you for having me. Youve broken with tradition by doing away with the daily White House Press briefings. In fact, as far as i can tell youve never held one. Why is that . Oh, so before i took over sarah hadnt done any either. Ultimately that will be up to the president if i do a press briefing. Im happy to do them. Right now, my team and are very accessible other ways doing interviews and have reporters in my office awe the time. To be very honest with you, the press briefings had turned into less about explaining the president s policies and more about arguments and theater and i dont think that its serving the American People. I think that when its a lot of reporters using it to be able to promote themselves and sell books and be verbose and throw tantrums thats not serving the people and not the way the press Briefing Room should be used. Hopefully, if the temperature can be taken down and the president decides the brief something a good idea, i will he abe behind the podium. Stephanie grisham, thanks for joining us. The impeachment of President Trump sure to be a main topic in tonights final democratic debate of the year and linsey davis is there in los angeles where the candidates will face off in just a matter of hours from now. Linsey, the real headline going into this debate is not is who is not going to be on that stage tonight. Reporter exactly right, and good morning to you, cecilia. One big difference for the sixth debate is that youll have fewer candidates. Only seven candidates have made the cut. Among the frontrunners, you have the usual suspects former Vice President joe biden, senators elizabeth warren, bernie sanders, mayor pete buttigieg. But one big headline, just months ago the Democratic Party had one of the most diverse feels but now andrew yang is the only minority candidate to hit the dncs threshold to qualify. For tonights debate. What to want for, is buttigieg able to connect with nonwhite voters . Thats something he has struggled to do in the past. Impeachment will likely overshadow the night. Thats not something the candidates disagree on but they would rather focus on other issues and with fewer people on stage senator amy klobuchar, andrew yang and tom steyer may have the opportunity to stand out. Of course, now there is more at stake with the first primary voting less than two weeks away and while two months away, sorry about that and, of course, while you have only seven candidates on the stage, 15 democrats are still running for president. Among them, former mayor michael who looms large, cecilia. Iowa caucuses is right around the corner. Okay, linsey, thank you. Now to the deep freeze settling in all across the northeast. The storm brought dangerous snow squalls and take a look at this time lapse showing it move across new york city. Whoo, look at that. It caused a deadly pileup as well. Gio benitez is in albany, new york, with more. Good morning, gio. Reporter hey, michael, good morning. Yeah, it is very cold right now. 7 degrees, negative 11 with that windchill. Take a look at this right now. We left these eggs outside overnight and look and listen, more like cue balls and you see this, it actually started cracking as it froze. You can see that yolk frozen solid. Its just incredibly cold across the northeast. Overnight, whipping bonechilling winds taking aim at the northeast. An intense snow squall with winds up to 37 Miles Per Hour blanketing the tristate area. This video shows it sweeping over westchester, new york, and cars cautiously navigating the icy roads. In connecticut you can barely make out the road from this weather tower camera. Outside boston snow falling hard and fast leaving Holiday Shoppers scrambling to get to their cars. And this was the scene in pennsylvania, a massive tractortrailer pileup killing one and sending more than three dozen to local hospitals. Drivers say when snow squalls moved in visibility was next to nothing. Semi after semi slammiing into one another. In syracuse, as drivers were making it home from their evening commute, it was a virtual whiteout after a snow squall took aim there. Its really worth reminding you that frostbite can set in in these conditions, so you want to make sure that youre covering up because its so dangerous. Michael. Gio, get inside before you end up like those eggs. Well go outside to ginger whos feeling the deep freeze right here in times square. Hey, ginger. We have now dropped to 16. That is the coldest new york city has seen this season. The windchill 2, but it all came behind this cold front that brought that snow squall. Its like a thunderstorm. It lasts really quickly. Instead of rain you got snow. Visibility is the big problem. I want to show you the numbers this morning. Its supercold. Down into the teens and even low 20s up in Northern New England. Brutal. That bitter cold is moving in as the Holiday Travel rush gets under way starting this morning. The tsa is predicting the busiest Winter Travel season ever so take a look.

Tsa expecting 4 more passengers to be screened this year compared to last year, so like thanksgiving theyre bringing on additional officers and using overtime to try to handle the lines. Very proud about thanksgiving which was the busiest travel season of the year. They said wait times were 30 minutes or less. Now the busy times are tomorrow and saturday. In fact, friday could be an alltime high for this Winter Travel season, then a lull, then next thursday and friday folks either head home or go out for new years eve or something. Its another busy time next thursday and friday. The good news as you heard there are no catastrophic storms so the 47. 5 million of us may get home for the holidays. Michael. We hope they do, david.
