Its friday, january 17th, 2020. Its friday. We dont need any advice, we got this. Theres plenty of love here on the desk. Oh, we do. I was going to say, youre right, we dont, but maybe somebody at home does. Lets begin with President Trumps historic impeachment trying. Opening arguments are scheduled for tuesday after a monumental day on capitol hill. Members of the senate are now under oath to administer impartial justice. That oath was given by chief Justice John Roberts who was also sworn in to oversee the proceeding, only the third trial of a president in u. S. History. Some Lawmakers Said that was the moment the seriousness of the situation took hold. Abcs mary bruce reports from capitol hill. Reporter on the senate floor, a solemn ceremony seen just twice before in american history. The trial of President Donald Trump now officially under way. A sight rarely seen. Nearly all 100 senators present, sitting quietly in their seats. The chief justice, john roberts, then sworn in. Roberts then administering the oath to the full senate. Do you solemnly swear that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of donald john trump, president of the united states, now pending, you will do impartial justice according to the constitution and laws, so help you god . Reporter the senators then signing that pledge one by one. Democratic leader Chuck Schumer echoing its words with a warning to republicans who have already vowed to stand by the president. Now that every senator has sworn a solemn oath before god and the American People to do impartial justice, let every senator reflect on that choice. And let history weigh on every one of our shoulders. Reporter and even as the trial begins, explosive new allegations. An associate of the president s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, now speaking out. Cant wait to come back, see you in ukraine soon. Reporter lev parnas tells msnbc he and giuliani worked together to pressure ukraine to investigate joe biden, and he says the president knew all about it. Parnas flatly dismissed the president s claim he only wanted ukraine to investigate corruption. It was all about joe biden, it was never about corruption. Reporter parnas insists quote everyone was in the loop, including Vice President mike pence and attorney general bill barr. Attorney general barr was basically on the team. Reporter barr and pence deny it, and the white house points out that parnas is under federal indictment. Parnas says the president can try to distance himself, but his lawyer releasing this video of trump and parnas together at maralago in 2016. Democrats say parnas revelations prove their point, that the senate should allow more evidence and more witnesses to be heard. Now republicans have been attacking this process saying the president committed no crime, but now a nonpartisan federal Watchdog Group has weighed in saying the president did break the law by withholding military aid from ukraine. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi seizing on this saying that it further strengthens the houses case for impeachment and removal and reinforces the need for a fair trial in the senate that includes documents and witnesses. The administration not surprisingly says it disagrees with the watchdogs opinion that the president broke the law. Mary bruce, abc news, capitol hill. All right, and in the oval Office President trump called the impeachment a complete hoax and says it should go very quickly. Asked about that Rudy Giuliani associate, lev parnas, trump insisted he doesnt know him and doesnt remember having a conversation with him. Thats despite video and pictures of the two men together in several different settings. The president acknowledged the evidence showing parnas with him but trump said that doesnt prove anything. I take thousands and thousands of pictures with people all the time. I dont know him, perhaps hes a fine man, perhaps hes not, i know nothing about him. Parnas told cnn last night hes willing to testify at trumps impeachment trial. He also called former National Security adviser john bolton a very important witness and said their testimonies could fill in all the dots. Meanwhile overseas, ukraine has launched a criminal investigation into the possible surveillance of u. S. Ambassador while stationed there.
