Migh welmp in. Ded in there. I think trevor liked being included in the debate. I think he did, too. A nice touch. Welcome to cbs this morning. We begin, of course, with Major Political developments on both sides of the country. In washington, the impeachment of President Trump is on hold as you may have heard as republicans and democrats square off over whether a fair trial for mr. Trump is even possible in the republicanheld senate. At the sixth democratic president ial debate in los angeles, democrats turned their fire on each other with the biggest attacks reserved for the surging mayor of south bend, indiana, Pete Buttigieg. It was the latest in a series of clashes on the role of money in the campaign. Just over six weeks before the first votes are cast in iowa. Ed okeefe is in los angeles for us. Good morning. Why was this debate so heated . Reporter well, tony, lets put it this way los angeles has produced its fair share of tv dramas, and it was dramatic on the debate stage. This was a night the gloves finally came off. They finally started throwing punches, and most of them went at young mayor Pete Buttigieg because hes rising in the polls. Billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president of the United States. Reporter senator Elizabeth Warren challenged mayor Pete Buttigieg for recently holding an exclusive fund raiser in a wine cave in Californias Napa value. Buttigieg pushed back. This is the problem with issuing security tests you cannot yourself pass. Senator, your net worth is 100 times mine. Reporter eventually Amy Klobuchar tried to stop the bickering. I did not come here to listen to this argument. I came here to make a case for progress, and i have never even been to a wine cave. Reporter but she took her own shots at buttigieg over his previous comments about his washington outsider status. You basically mocked the hundred years of experience on this stage. And i have not denigrated your experience as a local official. I have been one. I just think you should respect our experience. You want to talk about the capacity to win . Try putting together a coalition to bring you back to office with 80 of the vote as a gay dude in mike pences indiana. If you had won in indiana, that would be one thing. Reporter there were also questions of age and gender. Senator warren, you would be the oldest president ever inaugurated. Id like you to weigh in, as well. Id also be the youngest woman ever inaugurated. [ cheers ] reporter there was an acknowledgement of the lack of diversity. Its both an honor and disappointment to be the lone candidate of color on the stage tonight. I miss kamala, i miss corey though i think cory will be back. Reporter the result in part because of fundraising thresholds. You know what you need to donate to political campaigns . Disposable income. [ applause ] reporter throughout the night the contenders faced questions about the economy. We need an economy that focuses on the needs of a press exploited people. Reporter Climate Change im the only one on this stage who said climate is my numberone priority. Reporter health care under joes plan, essentially we retain the status quo. Thats not true. No that is exactly true. Thank you. Reporter and how theyd fix a broken washington. Former Vice President joe biden made an especially personal plea. If anyone has reason to be angry with the republicans and not want to cooperate, its me, the way they attacked me, my son, my family. [ applause ] i have no no love. But the fact is we have to be able to get things done. Reporter now we mentioned that impeachment also came up, and the candidates all agreed that the president should allow his top aides to testify at the upcoming trial. It was andrew yang who said that his party should, quote, stop being obsessed over impeachment, and that it needs to focus instead on winning back voters who had supported President Trump in 2016. Anthony . Thank you. As democrats consider withholding the materials the senate would need for an impeachment trial, Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell is accusing House Speaker nancy pelosi of being, quote, too afraid to present the case. The standoff means the entire impeachment process is in uncharted territory. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Nancy, why the holdup . Reporter well, Speaker Pelosi says that she wants to know more, anthony, about what the senate trial is going to look like before she sends the charges to the senate. But leader mcconnell after meeting with his democratic counterpart Chuck Schumer, said that the two sides are at an impasse. Im not sure what leverage there is in refraining from sending us something we do not want. Reporter leader mcconnell called the democrats case for impeachment weak after Speaker Pelosi suggested she might wait to send the articles of impeachment to the senate. Well see whether House Democrats ever want to work up the courage to actually take their accusations to trial. Reporter frankly, i dont care what the republicans say. Reporter pelosi was just as scathing about mr. Speaker colonel, who has vowed to work in lockstep with the white house on this trial. Our founder when they wrote the constitution, they suspected that there could be a rogue president. I dont think they suspected that we could have a rogue president and a rogue leader in the senate at the same time. Reporter she has the backing of House Democrats who are looking for ways to pressure the senate into calling key witnesses like acting white house chief of staff milk null vainy and Mick Mulvaney and former National Security adviser john bolton. Do you run the risk of looking like youre playing games with impeachment were not playing games with impeachment. There is the third time in our history. We wouldnt have done it if we werent deadly serious. Reporter minority leader Chuck Schumer had a first meeting with mcconnell about the trial yesterday. I told leader mcconnell that we would not support any trial without witnesses and documents. Reporter South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham called the democratic strategy constitutional extortion. I just left President Trump. Hes mad as hell that they would do this to him and now deny him his day in court. Reporter think of all of these ultimatums as the opening sample ohs in a solvos in a negotiation over how long this trial is going to be and how comprehensive it is going to be. And its important, gayle, because this trial will determine whether President Trump stays in office. It continues. In marital counseling they told me ultimatums never work, so well see what happens. Im divorced. There you go. One member of the trump family is weighing in in a rare interview set to air later this month on face the nation. Ivanka trump told Margaret Brennan that despite the concerns getting impeached has energized her father. Reporter your father has now been impeached. He is now only the third u. S. President to go through this. What has been the impact . Has he made peace with it . Hes energized, as are 63 millionplus voters who elected him to office. This is historic, as you know, in many ways including the fact that it is the first purely partisan impeachment. Reporter im surprised to hear you say energized. When i read the thats right your father sent to Speaker Pelosi, he seemed angry. And in fact, he wrote, you do not know, nor do you care, the great damage and hurt youve inflicted upon wonderful and loving members of my family. Was that a reference to you . I dont think the words are mutually exclusive. You can be angry at a process that is unjust. So there can be anger. Anger at the opportunity cost to the americans were all here serving andwhat could have gotten done. Angry at the waste of time. Angry at the collateral damage. Angry but its still energizing, and it focuses you on really draws into relief the stark contrast in priorities. Face the nation plod rarity Margaret Brennan joins us now. Listen, nobody has a better insight into the mind of her father than ivanka trump. Shes his adviser and, of course, his daughter. How do you think this whole process is affecting her . Why did she want to talk the day after the Impeachment Vote . Reporter well, you know, gayle, ivanka trump wants her father in the history books to be written about the initiatives that she thinks have made a difference. She described all this as raw politics. She described it as divorced from reality. Even though the vote happened the night before, she sat for the longplanned interview on paid family leave. She has championed this issue in particular because even though its a democratic priority, not a republican one, its part and parcel of how her family has basically reshaped republican priorities. You know, the United States has long been one of the few developed countries in the world that doesnt require employers to pay employees during their 12 weeks of leave following giving birth or adopting a child. And that changes today when President Trump signs a law that includes the first update to it in nearly 30 years. Its going to guarantee u. S. Government employees that they will receive paychecks during that leve. Theyre the countrys largest employer, and this may change policies for actual private companies. Thats what ivanka trump wants the country to be focused on, and clearly wants to hold impeachment at arms length. We will have that paid family leave story for you at the end of the year. All right. A lot of people will be glad to hear that. As you point out, she could have easily canceled and did not. Thank you, margaret. On face the nation this sunday, margaret will talk to republican senator roy blunt and democratic senator chris van hollen. Congress is on recess for the holidays giving democrats and republicans two full weeks to consider the next steps in the impeachment showdown. 60 minutes correspondent John Dickerson is here. Okay, congress. Okay. Nancy pelosi has said shes not going to send the articles of impeachment over to the senate. Geent know when she will we dont know when she will. Whats the game plan . At the moment she says not going to do it. Weve heard republicans making process arguments in the house. Democrats are trying to shape the process in the senate, and if they cant actually shape it and get rules favorable to their side, they want to at least put in a context and argue basically that republican leader mcconnell is not allowing a fair trial. So that it at least when the president s acquitted in the senate, as everyone expects, it at least has that context that the democrats get. But the downside for nancy pelosi is people say, wait a minute, youve gone through this process, its not very serious if youre not sending over the articles. Mitch mcconnell said theres no leverage in not sending a thing we dont want. Yes. Heres the question, though that may be so. Heres the alternative case the president , despite what his daughter says, is steamed about this. Hes out there showing that. That puts some pressure on Mitch Mcconnell to get this thing rolling and get that acquittal happening. Im not sure theres no leverage. It may not be a huge amount of it, but there is other things at play here. And that other thing at play is the president who wants john, there was an interesting oped in christianity today which called for President Trump to be removed, basically endorsed impeachment. In very strong language. How significant is this . Well, this is i dont know that its going to change any evangelical minds, but this comes from within the president s base. And the argument is twofold. One is that the president is is immoral. I mean, and that these behaves in a way that is unchristian. Then the other thing thats extraordinary about this editorial is it says that evangelicals are breaking their christian witness if they support the president. So it puts pressure on those evangelicals. The language none of the president s positives can balance the moral and political danger we face under a leader of such grossly immoral character. Wow. This is his base. It is his base. Also, there is a gulf that you see. You see this editorial and compared to what youre hearing from the president and republicans which is that the president has done nothing wrong. This was a perfect relationship with ukraine. In office he has been perfect. And yet now you have from within his base saying not only has he broken with his ath of office, but he breaks with the codes that are the highest and most important codes and the way we live our lives. Thats a real difference in the way you look at this. And its its a challenge for the president. He can no longer i mean, say basically theres nothing to any of this when theyre talking about the most important questions e that go to the creator and jump over politics. We have a update on a missing mom. The new developments follow a police raid of a home outside of hu houston. Officers took several people into custody in connection with the case. She and her daughter disappeared a month ago. We have breaking news. Prosecutors have charged the American Woman accused of hitting and killing harry dunn with her car, she fled the uk after the incident causing diplomatic immunity. What are the charges exactly .
