Calling for another investigation into the teams former abusive doctor. Welcome to our viewers here in the United States and all around the world, im natalie allen. Thank you so much for joining us. This is cnn newsroom. Thank you again for joining us. Developing overnight, we have new developments for you on this same story regarding the impeachment inquiry. Newly released documents give us a clearer view of how President Trumps personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani coordinated his efforts in ukraine, through the white house. And its coming directly from the u. S. State department. The information results from the freedom of information lawsuit filed by the group called american oversight. Email exchanges spell out how the white house helpedarrange a phone call between giuliani and u. S. Secretary of state mike pompeo. This took place the day after giuliani handed over materials with unproven claims about former Vice President seen here, joe biden and his son hunter. Documents show that mike pompeo spoke with giuliani briefly twice in late march. The first time occurring before giuliani handed over that information. It was the second conversation facilitated by the white house. For that call, giulianis assistant reached out to President Trumps then executive assistant madeline westerhouse, seen mere with rick perry. Giulianis assistant said she was getting nowhere through regular channels, end quote. He asked how to get giuliani and pompeo in touch. A lawyer an associate of giuliani said his willing is willing to testify before congress about the alleged role of congressman devin nunes as we mentioned in trying to dig up dirt on the bidens. His Attorney Says his client lev parnas claims he helped with this man, disgraced ukrainian prosecute vicar shokin. So his lawyer says that lev parnas would like to come and speak to congress. And that he would say to congress, were he given the opportunity that last december, devin nunes, a senior republican presiding over the impeachment hearings went to vienna and met with viktor shokin. Viktor shokin, the person who was the prosecutor for ukraine, that ukraine and everybody in the United States wanted out for not investigating corruption . Correct. And who was fired in 2016 under pressure by many western leaders, including our then Vice President joe biden. He has an ax to grind against the bidens. Viktor shokin is the man who has claimed to have dirt on joe and hunter biden. He has claimed to have evidence that ukraine meddled in our elections. Reportedly met with Rudy Giuliani. Absolutely. Rudy giuliani wanted to get him a pass to come to the United States and it was denied. Absolutely correct. Well, nunes declined cnns multiple request for comment. Next week is the annual holiday of thanksgiving and but many will be burning the midnight oil on capitol hill. That is because theyll be pulling together the report from the impeachment hearings in the next several weeks. The matter then goes to the House Judiciary Committee which is expected to draft articles of impeachment. A vote by the full house could come by christmas. Heres cnns manu raju with more about it. Reporter House Democrats are planning to take their impeachment deliberations behind the scenes. And expect those deliberations to be intense and active over the next several of days, including next week. Thanksgiving week. A holiday week in the u. S. In which the lawmakers are going to be gone on recess but staff of the recent committees as well as members of Nancy Pelosis staff will discuss exactly how to move fore. And the first thing theyre going to do is finish a report being written right now by the House Intelligence Committee along with two other committees detailing the findings of this investigation that has been going on for roughly seven weeks. This investigation, of course, is focused on the issue of ukraine, the president s handling of the relations with that country and whether or not he withheld Security Assistance from that country, roughly 400 million. As well as a key meeting between the Ukrainian Government and the white house in exchange for an investigation that could help the president politically. And it will focus on abuse of power by the president and while potentially focus on bribely, obstruction of justice, obstruction of congress. Obstruction of justice for one there was a discussion whether or not to include the episodes of destruction that were played out in the Mueller Report that showed the president allegedly interfering with his campaign. Nancy pelosi will keep it focused but theres a question of making it broader. But a report that is go going to be released in the next few days. That will be considered by the houses Judiciary Committee likely the first week or first two weeks of december. At that point, that committee will vote on articles of impeachment. Then it will go to the full house which could vote then before christmas to make President Trump the third american president in history to get impeached. After that, it would go to the senate led by republicans and that senate trial could take two weeks, four weeks, right now, both sides agree on this. Republicans are unlikely to commit and remove the president from office. All of this at the end of the day will be ultimately up to the voters on whether or not President Trump should stay in office. Well, the public testimony of 12 witnesses were fairly consistent in asserting the president s july 25th phone call with ukraines leader amounted to, we all that term now, a quid pro quo. For more on this, heres cnns jim acosta. Reporter still stinging from a week full of damaging testimony in the impeachment inquiry, President Trump has dug in, refusing to answer some of the looming questions hanging over his administration. One Top White House official tried to stop us from asking the question. Any response to fiona hill . Mr. President , fee knowniona hi said can you respond to fiona hill . Youre done . Reporter the president would not respond to testimony from his former adviser on russia fiona hill. Who told lawmakers that ukraine meddled in the 2016 election senior false but the president kept rebating that debunked claim on fox. They used the server for cloud striker or whatever its call, i still want to see that server. Reporter but thats not true. Hill testified. Its being propagated by the Russian Security services themselves. Reporter well aware that democrats are moving towards impeachment in the house. Republicans are now looking towards republicans to save him during a senate trial. White house officials tell cnn a trial could actually give mr. Trump a political boost. The president turned to fox news to fond with falsehoods and fabrications, mr. Trump continued to say he barely know ambassador Gordon Sondland. Who testified there was a quid pro quo. Now, this guy, who, by the way, i hardly know him, okay . Sondland . Yeah, ive spoken to him a few times. Reporter thats not what sondland says . And he has spoken to you often . Whats often . You say at least 20 times . Okay, if thats often, then thats often. Reporter the president also slammed ambassador Marie Yovanovitch saying she was out to get him. But this ambassador who everyone says is so wonderful, she wouldnt hang my picture in the embassy. Reporter the president may want to consider a different figure in the ukraine saga, former national secured adviser john bolton. Out of fear of what i might say to those who speculated, i went into hiding, im sorry to disappoint. But the president says thats not true. Did you guys freeze his account . No, of course not. Reporter the only question mr. Trump would take from reporters on the inquiry, his feelings about the whistleblower. Whistleblower, i dont think there is i consider it to be a fake whistleblower. Reporter gop Officials Say expect to see a trial in the senate as the president is likely to be impeached in the house. One search that investigators are looking to the clinton impeachment trial as a guide. White house officials are eyeing that trial as an opportunity to bring in a slew of their own choice witnesses, from hunter biden to the whistleblower. Jim acosta, cnn, the white house. Well, lets talk about developments with leslie vinjamuri. Hi, leslie. Good morning to you. Good morning, thank you. All right. We just heard, yes, fake news, fake this that is the president s playbook. And hes been playing it hard. What do you make of President Trumps daring democrats to put him on trial in the senate . Hes given the impression hes got nothing to fear. He remained defiant, talking with fox news . Well, remember, this is the president s approach. He also, if you go back a few weeks or a few months, he was bearing the democrats to begin impeachment hearings. I think there are a couple of things here. First, of course, he knows at this point he has the he has the Republican Voters on his side. And he has the republicans in senate. And he has a majority. So, he isnt worried that hes going to lose the vote. But i think more importantly, the president knows that a lot of what matters when we move to the senate is what the narrative looks like, how it plays out. How the story is told. And i think, frankly, that he relishes the opportunity to see a very different narrative. To really drill down in the senate on the idea that has been pushed by the president and those around him that this is not an impeachable offense. That this is a witch hunt by the democrats. I think hes really looking to impact the voter in the leadup to the primaries and to the 2020 elections. Now, whether that will back fire, how that will actually transpire is very difficult to predict. But i do think that this president is trying to absolutely capture that narrative. Right. Because there are questions now about if the president is impeached, will that hurt him or help him as we push on to this 2020 election. Thats right. And, again, a lot of this comes down to how fixed you think Public Attitudes are and whether they will change. If you look at the pollings, americans are divided pretty equally on whether or not they support impeachment. But when you drill down and you look at partisan attitudes, democrats are very much in support. Republicans are very much opposed. But that independent voter is at around 41 . So, you know, one question is, will independent voters will their attitudes change . And will they take this to the polls. So, you know, if we begin to look beyond the question of the outcome of the impeachment, these hearings matter critically, for the elections. Whether they change peoples attitudes. And also whether when people go to the polls theyre still thinking about the impeachment. And if theres a backlash, then that could have a very negative impact. Back to what we saw in the past few weeks with the testimony, hours and hours of testimony, it ended this week with fiona hill. She was straightforward, debunking the president s claim that it was ukraine, not russia that interfered in the election. But he continues not to back down. They called it a fictional narrative propagated by the russians. Then the president goes right back on tv on fox and kept at it. And that seems thats going to be what he does, regardless of what kind of testimony we hear. And we still could hear from john bolton who is teasing us that he may still be employed here. Thats right, fiona hills testimony was extraordinary. Very powerful. And, remember, this is somebody who has worked for a very long time in government. And served, again, across parties, is not political. Is nonpartisan. And was really trying to cull out the fact that what she was seeing from the inside was the policy towards ukraine, americas policy towards ukraine was not being driven by Americas National security concerns. And secondly, as you mentioned, that the narrative that trump was trying to construct that this was about ukrainian interference in the 2016 elections simply isnt held up by the fact, the president is going to try to undermine the veracity of whats emerging as, frankly, uncontestable facts but, you know, theres. Two things for the republicans, are they going to support him and say the facts contest the basic claims that are coming out very clearly. Or are they going to say this is not an impeachable offense. If you move past the president , go to the wall street journal, the editors there, theyre saying this is not an impeachable offense. The American People will have to decide. If theyre watching fox news. I think the confusion around this is going to be very significant. But i think it will come down ultimately to whether or not people think this is an impeachable offense. Well, good to watch it, because they continue to work through it through the thanksgiving holiday. And will he be impeached by christmas . Well wait and see. We appreciate your insights, leslie vinjamuri, thank you, leslie. Thank you. Next, a crucial election day in hong kong. Well tell you whats at stake on sunday. And the impact it could have on the everpowerful prodemocracy movement. Also, embattled and defiant. Were talking about the israeli Prime Minister who faces the fight of his political life.

This is bogota, colombia, loud bangs and plumes of tear gas sent protesters running for cover in the capital. Thousands have gathered to denounce the president s policies when they were dispersed by police. In response to the unrest, a curfew was imposed and police are out in force. Reports of looting and confrontations with police have put people on edge. A cnn reporter described the city gripped by fear. Some defied the curfew and gathered outside of the president s home to protest some more. In hong kong, police are braced for unrest during local elections coming this sunday.

More than 4 Million People are able to vote in the elections. And for the first time, all of hong kongs District Councils are being protested. And largest beijing, 179 candidates and the prodemocracy, 397 candidates. Sundays violence followed the worst violence the city has seen since the protests began. Last week, clashes broke out when demonstrators occupied a university. Cnns Paula Hancocks spoke to protesters who managed to escape an arrest. Reporter it was a dramatic escape caught on camera. Protesters fleeing Hong Kong Polytechic university, by repelling from a bridge. One of those who escaped tells us she would have done anything not to be arrested by police. And face a maximum of ten years in prison on charges of rioting. Were not identifying her to protect her safety. Translator we were on the bridge, and we heard someone shouting, dont look back. If you can escape, just leave. When the police seemed to step back a little bit, me and my friends decided to absail without gloves. Reporter her job was to pour water on the tear gas canisters to stop the smoke. Like many protesters, she defends the violence. Translator protesters do not want to use violence, but violence is a way to create large attention. Petrol bombs are for protecting protesters. Reporter on the phone, i spoke to another woman who escaped. She does not want to be filmed and does not tell us how she escaped for fear that police will identify her. Translator the purchase will continue. Everyone has learned from a mistake this time. So they wont defend the university anymore because the important of this protest is to be water. Reporter some managed to escape through the campus sewer system, although others were arrested. The new Police Commissioner appealed to protesters again on friday to leave the campus hoping it would leave peacefully. Translator it is very dangerous inside as there are a lot of explosives and gasoline bombs. The environment is very bad there. Reporter for the parents of those refusing to leave, all they can do is wait and watch. Police have rejected at least to go inside on safety grounds. One pastor is going in on their behalf to convince the protesters to leave. So how are the protesters coping . Theyre quite nervous and sad. With the sense of despair. And quite emotional. Reporter there are some under the age of 18 inside who police say they will not arrest. Others who havent slept in days in a growing sense
