Home about what she was going to accept in terms of witnesses, when she returned from the Holiday Season back to the senate, she essentially brought that 1999 clinton resolution to the floor, and she handed it to mcconnells staff, essentially asking them, okay, show me what is going to change in this resolution and what is going to stay the same. We know the majority leader had made it very clear he was going to follow the, quote, clinton motto. But she wanted to see it in writing. She wanted to understand what does that mean in terms of getting witnesses sochlt what transpired was weeks of negotiations between senator collins staff, murkowskis staff, Lamar Alexanders staff and leadership to go over word by word who was going to be in this resolution. So the expectation and we should be cautious here. We have not seen the resolution yet. It hasnt been released. But the expectation is that it will actually include a vote after the presentations of evidence by both sides and a debate from the senators, there will actually be a vote on whether or not senators are willing to entertain the idea of witnesses, not any specific witnesses, just the idea of needing more information. And that, of course, is going to be a very important vote for those moderates who are facing a lot of pressure back home. We should also note, brooke, just tend to be more independent minded when it comes to wanting more information. These are not people who had their minds made up. Theyre going into this trial, and they really view their role as being impartial jurors. Their role in these negotiations very important. Such great reporting, lauren, everyones creating this color behind the scenes before this whole thing begins. You nailed it. Thank you. Lets talk about these new lawyers hired to defend the president in his impeachment trial. Their common tie, they have all had their fair share of tv time. Youll recognize ken starr, the independent counsel for the white water investigation. His investigation and report let to the impeachment of bill clinton in 1999. Check out what starr said the year before about clintons refusing to cooperate with investigators. The president refused six invitations to testify before the grand jury, refusing to cooperate with a duly authorized federal criminal investigation is inconsistent with the general statutory duty of all executive branch employees to cooperate with criminal investigations. It also is inconsistent with the president s duty to faithfully execute the laws. Its interesting to note that welcome back, youre in 1999 the year of the clinton watching cnn on this friday, im impeachment trial, donald trump brooke baldwin. Said this. Thank you for being here. The lawyer President Trump once i think ken starr is a lunatic. I really think that ken starr is called a, quote, freak is now one of the newest members of his a disaster. Defense team for his impeachment i hated the way the president handled it. Trial. With opening arguments four days it was a long and terrible process. I really think that ken starr away, the white house has finally named who will be helping make the president s was terrible. Robert ray was starrs case before all those senators, and ken starr is among them. His work as independent counsel led to the clinton impeachment trial, so lets start there. Successor, Alan Dershowitz. He was highly vocal during the Cnns Kaitlan Collins is at the russia investigation. White house for us. Dershowitz has been resisting joining the trump team. Its no the only starr whos a in a statement, the legal team big name on this team, tell us who else. Reporter no, two others, and pointed out that dershowitz robert ray may not be one thats voted for Hillary Clinton. These three Attorneys Join four as recognizable as ken starr and others defending trump, jane ras Alan Dershowitz but hes the one kin and pam bondi, a former who succeeded ken starr. Hes the one who finished the federal prosecutor, and shes final clinton report, the one also former Florida State that was attorney and the team will be led by the white House Counsel Pat Cipollone and the president s private attorney jay sekul sekulow. Thats the full picture for the Trump Defense team. With me now cnn legal analyst jan rogers, shes a former prosecutor. You heard the sound we dug up from then private citizen donald trump, starr, lunatic and disaster let me add to that the Monica Lewinsky from today, this is definitely an are you kidding me kind of day. Obviously shes alluding to ken starrs name. What did you make of ken starr, Alan Dershowitz being named to this team . I think its a mistake, brooke. I think its going to backfire on them. Listen, the trump team has had a lot of trouble attracting topnotch legal talent. Thats been the case this whole time. They want tv friend ly personalities who have proven themselves loyal. Dershowitz has lost so much credibility through the extreme positions hes been taking on tv defending the president against the mueller investigation. Hes even in litigation over whether he had sex with a minor, trafficked by epstein. So hes a disaster. And ken starr is going to be facing the exact thing that you just did to him, which is side by side comparisons of what he said then and what hes saying now. His job is to stand up and explain why its no big deal that trump wouldnt speak to investigators, blocked every single witness, blocked every single document, doesnt want witnesses. How is he going to do that credibly . Even though theyve had trouble with talent, they should have looked elsewhere. How does he square that with witnesses . We know that democrats have been consistent that no biden should take the stand. They feel like its the president of the United States on trial and the bidens actions have nothing to do with impeachment. So here is the minority leader in the senate, chuck schumer. The witnesses weve asked for are not witnesses that are our pals. Theyre trump appointees. They work for trump. Hunter biden has nothing to do with that. If they want to go on a fishing expedition because theyre so worried about what witnesses would find and try to ask for someone else, i dont think it will fly with the american people, and i dont even think it will fly with the senators. A few senators have called for it, but i think thats to try and scare people from the pursuit of real witnesses. Im curious, jen, just how you interpret his response, and is there room for these house managers to negotiate . Ill give you, you know, a biden in exchange for a john bolton and a mick mulvaney. There is room to negotiate, and i think thats whats going to happen here. His point is at the very beginning of all of this, the president was trying to mount a defense that went along the lines of theres corruption here. Hes really just trying to root out corruption, and thats what this was a that has been absolutely eviscerated by all of what weve learned since then. These dozen witnesses who have testified, the documents that have come out. Its now not even a question that hunter biden and joe biden had anything to do with this in the sense of a legitimate defense for the president. Theres no legitimate reason to call them here. Do you think that you mentioned the new evidence coming out, you know, lev par s parnas, the indicted giuliani associate, do you think it will force lawmakers hands on bringing witnesses to this trial . I think every piece of information that comes out including lev parnas forces their hand a little bit more. The problem is some of them are refusing to have their hand forced, right . Some of them have their head stuck so far in the sand they just refuse to be moved by anything. Okay. Jen rogers, thank you very much. We also know now more about irans missile attack against the United States. Now cnn is learning that american troops were injured after all, so the question were asking is why are we just now finding out about this . And a new book describes a president ial tirade against his top military brass telling star generals theyre all and im quoting losers. And andrew yangs wife opens up about being sexually assaulted by her doctor. It is a story you will not want to miss. Youre watching cnn. Im brooke baldwin. We will be right back.

Were now learning that u. S. Troops were indeed injured in that Iranian Missile attack on two military bases last week. The pentagon is revealing that 11 Service Members in the Al Asad Air Base in western iraq were hurt and several have been treated for concussion symptoms and are still being assessed. Remember initially the pentagon said no one had been hurt and so do the commander in chief. No americans were harmed in last nights attack by the iranian regime. Shortly after those missiles were fired by iran, the president also tweeted all is well adding that assessment of casualties and damages was taking place and so far so good. With me now iraq war veteran phillip carter, he served as Deputy Assistant secretary of state for detainee policy under former president obama. Thank you so much for joining me. And first things first, why are we just now learning about this . So it looks like were just now learning about this because the injuries assessed were concussions. It takes a while to go through the protocol to determine that someone has a blast injury from an explosion like this, and so it makes sense this is just coming out now. Id be hesitant to see too much of a political ghost here. This just looks like proof of the old military proverb that first reports are always wrong. I got you. I also wanted to ask you about this theres this new book called a very stable genius, donald j. Trumps testing of america with some pretty compelling details written by two Washington Post reporters. One of the details goes into this july 2017 meeting where then secretary of state Rex Tillerson called President Trump a moron with, you know, some colorful language thrown in there. The book reveals that trump then scolded his top military brass at that meeting. Heres the quote from him, this is, again, from President Trump. Youre all losers. You dont know how to win anymore, and then later in the meeting he goes on to say i wouldnt go to war with you people. Youre a bunch of dopes and babies. Now, phillip, i cant even imagine how heated some of those discussions must be in a room like that, but i mean, have you ever heard of language like this coming from the president . You know, if you looked inside the sit room from lbj or other president s, you may have heard similar things. This discussion in july 2017 was one of the first big meetings between President Trump and his war cabinet, and whats interesting is the way that both sides saw this completely differently, so the generals and secretary mattis and secretary tillerson wanted to educate the president on the way they saw the world, and the president by contrast knew exactly how we saw the world and was not looking forward to that educational session and let it be known. And so this ended up being a case of two ships essentially passing in the night and shooting at each other a bit as they did. It was sort of the antithesis of what we would expect to see as harmonious military revelations. Pointblank, did you wince a little bit or really you werent that worried . I wince ad a little bit becae no functioning o treats people like that. Leaders that ive served under and worked with tend to thrive when they respect the people they work with and inspire confidence both up and down. The distinction here is that he was asking fundamental questions of things that those military leaders took as articles of faith. Like, whether we should continue fighting in afghanistan, and that was very bitter medicine for some of those generals to hear, but in some ways the president was right to ask those fundamental questions. Thats why we have civilian control of the military. Sure. And then another quote from this book, because we know the Vice President was in the room and apparently he never said anything. Hes described as, quote, frozen like a statue, a quote, wax museum guy and a deer in the headlights. This is according to people in that room. The one person who did speak out was then secretary tillerson who said, quote, mr. President youre wrong. I ask my question to you, fil , phillip, if youre top military brass, take ting this verbal incoming from the president. Can you push back . There was a nonresponse to actually kind of keep it secret . Ive been one of the back benchers in meetings like that. You absolutely can push back. You should push back. Thats your job. Thats what lincoln understood what he created his team of rivals during the civil war. Thats what president s have done ever since, and it is absolutely the job of the secretary of defense and the secretary of state and the other senior folks there, and even to some extent the chairman of the joint staff to push back and engage in a healthy dialogue with a fair amount of friction when necessary. Phillip carter, thank you for your expertise in this area. I appreciate you. Thank you. More fallout today from those lev parnas interviews.

So come ask, shop, discover at your local xfinity store today. After 48 hours, secretary of state mike pompeo is breaking his silence over whether one of had of his ambassadors was being surveilled in ukraine. This is one of several revelations from this trove of documents from indicted Rudy Giuliani associate lev parnas. Among those documents were Text Messages from republican congressional candidate robert hyde suggesting that he had knowledge of marie yovanovitchs whereabouts in ukraine. Yovanovitch was the u. S. Ambassador to ukraine before the president fired her last year, and secretary pompeo said he never heard of those surveillance efforts at the time. Ive not met this guy lev parnas to the best of my knowledge, never encountered, never communicated with him. We will do everything we need to do to evaluate whether there was something that took place there. I suspect that much of whats been reported will ultimately prove wrong, but our obligation, my obligation as secretary of state is to make sure that we evaluate, investigate any time theres someone who posits there may have been a risk to one of our officers, well obviously do that. The president of the Global Situation room, and former director of Global Engagement under president obama. A pleasure to have you here. Do you trust him . I think secretary pompeos track record has not been a great one when it comes to the safety of our people. Just take, for instance, a 23 cut in the last fiscal year to Embassy Security upgrades sochlt for a. So for all of his talk of swagger and restoring diplomats to their rightful place, the evidence tells a very different story, and i think his comments belie a certain distrust of the accusations. Im not certain whether or not we get to the bottom of this. I should remind people, ukraine launched an investigation. Lets take the secretary at his word. What if he genuinely did not know that she was being surveilled, if she was, thats even more worrisome, correct . Absolutely. Diplomatic security agents are supposed to be aware of any intelligence, counter intelligence, threats to our people, and certainly the ambassador absolutely in a country like ukraine. This could have been a group of terrorists. It could have been foreign agents from china or russia or any of those breakaway provinces in ukraine that pose add Real Security threat and certainly an intelligence threat as well. Yeah, lev parnas is talking. Hes revealing more details. He talked to Anderson Cooper about yovanovitchs firing, so heres what he told anderson. To my knowledge the president fired her at least four times, maybe even five times. I mean, once in my presence, a private dinner for a super pac in washington, d. C. At the trump hotel. In the conversation, the subject of ukraine was brought up, and i told the president that our opinion that she is bad mouthing him and that she said that hes going to get impeached, Something Like that. I dont know if thats word for word, but she was you said that at the table . Correct. Where the president was . Correct. And his reaction was he looked at me like got very angry, and basically turned around to John Destefano and said fire her. Get rid of her. Now, he says he would be willing to talk to lawmakers, but if he is the guy that was pushing this narrative that, you know, yovanovitch was working against the president , doesnt he have a credibility issue . I think there are credibility issues on multiple fronts here, and its also the credibility of the United States. I mean, who are our foreign allies, foreign leaders supposed to listen to Going Forward . Do they listen to the president . Do they listen to some guy whos over in Eastern Europe saying that i represent donald j. Trump . Dont listen to the ambassador. Thats what im hearing from friends who are still at the state department is they dont believe they can effectively do their jobs because people dont believe them. Because now you have Rudy Giuliani or alleged associates of giuliani running around saying im the one who speaks for donald trump. What are the longterm ramifications of that . I think we are going to face a serious challenge of credibility. Were going to face a challenge of influence, and lets just look at whats happening at the United Nations system. The u. N. Is now being taken over by the likes of china. Theyve won major elections in just the last year. America couldnt even cobble together six votes for our candidate to be on the u. N. Security council. This is just a canary in the coal mine saying american influence on the world stage is waning, and if we dont wake up and take action, there will be some even more serious consequences to come. Hope everyones listening to the canary in this case. Brett bruen, awesome insight as always. Andrew yangs wife is sharing her painful personal story about being Sexual Assault bid her doctor.

A stunning and difficult revelation from the wife of president ial candidate andrew yang. Evel evel evel evelyn yang is breaking her silence. Many women had accused the same doctor of something similar. Its a secret that yang kept for years even from members of her own family. She is now sharing her story for the first time exclusively with dana bash, and i should warn you, parts of her story are tough to listen to. Evelyn yang has a story so secret she never even shared it with most of her own family. But spending time with her husband, president ial candidate andrew yang on the campaign trail and hearing so much gratitude from voters for talking about son christophers autism made her feel newly empowered. Meeting people and seeing the difference that weve been making already has moved me to share my own story about it, about Sexual Assault. It was 2012, she was pregnant with her first baby and found an ob gyn who had a good rep takes, dr. Robert hadden. Initially she says her visits were routine, but after a few months, things changed. It started with inappropriate questions around how intimate i was with my husband, sexual activity, just very inappropriate probing questions that were unrelated to my health. The examinations became longer, more frequent, and i learned that they were unnecessary most of the time. Most women dont know what youre supposed to get when youre pregnant. I didnt know that youre not supposed to get an exam every time you went to see the doctor. I felt like i put up with some inappropriate behavior that i didnt know at the time was straight up sexual abuse Sexual Assault until much later, and i regret having put up with that because it ended up in a Sexual Assault that was indisputable, quite blatant. Yang says the worst assault happened when she was seven months pregnant. I was in the exam room, and i was dressed and ready to go, and then at the last minute he kind of made up like an excuse. He said something about i think youre you might need a csection, and he proceeded to grab me over to him and undress me and examine me internally ungloved, and at first i was a little bit like whats going on here . And there was no one else in the room . No, no. In fact, when i think back to most of our exams, i dont think there was somebody in the room, you know. You thought to yourself, this isnt just inappropriate banter. This is much different. Oh, he i mean, at that moment i knew that was i knew it was wrong. I mean, i knew, i said i knew i was being assaulted. Reporter she says she thought she was the kind of person who would run away, but she couldnt. I imagined myself with someone being, you know, like i would throw a chair at him and run out yelling bloody murder. Its not what happened. I was confused, and then i realized what was happening, and then i just kind of froze like a deer in headlights, just frozen. I knew it was happening. I remember trying to fix my eyes on a spot on the wall and just trying to avoid seeing his face as he was assaulting me. Waiting for it to be over. Reporter she left that day and never went back. Did you tell your husband andrew . No. I didnt tell anyone. I didnt tell anyone what happened. I didnt tell andrew or my family because i didnt want to upset them. I thought this happened to me, i can process this. I can deal with it. I can compartmentalize it. And did you . I tried. I tried, but i just didnt want to affect others, and i certainly didnt want andrew blaming himself for not being able to go with me to these doctors visits, because honestly if he was with me in the room, if anyone was with me in the room, this obviously wouldnt have happened, and at the time he was traveling a lot for his nonprofit, and most of the scheduling just didnt work out. Reporter many months later after her baby was born, a letter came in the mail. Robert hadden had left his practice. I googled him, and there it was. There was a headline that said that he had assaulted another woman, and she reported it to the police. And at that moment everything just it was this sense of relief of finally realizing that i wasnt alone in it. He still picked me but that it wasnt because of right, it wasnt something that i did. It was, you know, this was a serial predator, and he just picked me as his prey. Reporter it was at that point she told husband andrew. I just needed to tell someone. I just needed to share it in that moment because it felt so big to me. I needed that support, and i told him, and he cried. He wasnt bawling. There were tears, and he said its because he remembered when i told when i came home one day ranting about pervy doctors. I said Something Like why do they let men be gynecologistsment it makes no sense. And he remembered that i had made this comment, and he felt so bad. He felt guilty that he didnt make the connection or ask me more. Reporter she found a lawyer who discovered the Manhattan District Attorney had an open case against the doctor. Several other women had come forward with similar stories of being assaulted by him. And that was just life changing. It felt so good to not be alone in this. Reporter she worked with an assistant District Attorney who was collecting information from 18 women including yang, with allegations against hadden. Yang testified before a grand jury which indicted hadden on multiple felony sex charges. Every time i talked to the ada, the case was going great, and she was always telling me how strong this case was, how we were going to put him in jail, how he wasnt going to be able to do this to anyone ever again. And all of a sudden there was this dropoff. I didnt hear from her for months. Reporter finally in february 2016, she was told the d. A. Agreed to a plea deal with the doctor. He would lose his medical license, register as the lowest level sex offender but not go to jail. He was getting off with a slap on the wrist basically. Reporter not just that, although he was charged on nine counts involving six accusers, he only pleaded guilty to two charges involving two women, evelyn yang was not one of them. They said that the punishment was the same regardless of how many counts he pled guilty to, that the punishment would have been the same, so it didnt matter. And i thought, well, it matters to me for obvious reasons, and it wasnt until after metoo and the weinstein case came out that the victims in this case realized that we were betrayed twice. Thats how you feel . You feel you were betrayed twice . Oh, absolutely. Its like getting, you know, slapped in the face and punched in the gut. The d. A. s office is meant to protect us, is meant to serve justice, and there was no justice here. The office of manhattan he d. A. s office told cnn that obtaining a felony convictio b analysis and resulting disposition of this difficult resolution has caused survivors pain. Though hadden was not a big name like weinstein or epstein, yang says he did have a powerful protector, columbia university, which runs the medical facility where he practiced. The fact that its a, you know, a name Brand University behind this doctor and using their influence to protect themselves at the expense of the victims in this case. Reporter some six weeks before yang says she was assaulted, police went to haddens office and arrested him. Another patient told police he sexually assaulted her and licked her vagina during an exam. The arrest was voided, and he went back to seeing female patients. What happened to me should have never happened. He was arrested in his office, and he was let back to work. Without anybody in the room. Without a chaperon. I mean, at the very least the bare minimum would be to make sure that theres an aide all the time. I and thats whats very painful is knowing that actually what happened to me could have been prevented. Reporter yangs Attorney Says there are at least 32 women who now accuse hadden of Sexual Assault, most of them including yang are part of civil suits against columbia university, its affiliates and hadden. Among the allegations accusing hadden of aggressively penetrating and groping their bodies and genitalia, forcing them to strip naked, groping their breasts, digitally penetrating them and licking their vaginas. The suit also claims columbia knew about allegations against hadden, received numerous complaints of serious misconduct, and kept the complaints secret to avoid negative publicity. The lawsuit is still ongoing. Hadden denies all the allegations against him except the ones he pleaded guilty to. Cnn sent detailed questions to columbia including why dr. Hadden was allowed to return to work after his initial arrest, but the university only responded that the allegations against hadden were abhorrent, and they deeply apologized to those whose trust was violated. Yang fought in court for more than two years to keep her identity anonymous, which makes going public now even more remarkable. Why do you want to do this now . What do you want to accomplish now . My personal life and this growing of public life, theyre not separate. In this case my experience with the Sexual Assault and then what happened, all that happened afterwards, is such a powerful and upsetting example of the truth that women are living with every day, and i just happen to be able to have a platform to talk about it. I need to use that voice. I feel like its something thats an obligation but also a privilege, and a gift that i get to share my story now and also help other women. The process of getting to this point is very hard, you know, i like, i havent slept in days. This is very hard to come out with, but i hope i have to believe that its worth it. Bravo to you evelyn yang for coming out and sharing your story. As that was airing, dana, i got you. Shes texting me, and heres the update. Since this piece ran this morning this is from dana she says that evelyn yangs attorney tells us he has already heard from nine women this morning who saw the piece and said they too were assaulted by hadden and that these women are also now looking for justice. Thank you, dana. Well be right back. Whether tomorrow will be light or dark. All we see in you, is a spark. We see your kindness and humanity. The strength of each community. The more we look the more we find the sparks that make america shine. With just 17 days to go until iowans cast their first vote to the 2020 president ial race for the Iowa Caucuses and the race for the democratic nomination appears wide open. This field of kacandidatese stad at 28. Its still really anyones guess who will win iowa and beyond. Lets go cnn politics reporter and editor at large chris sew lizza. Where does it stand right now . Let me emphasize guess. What harry enten i and i do every two weeks is an educated guess. This stuff is hard. There are still 12 people running as you note, brooke, which is remarkable. Lets go through top five. Number five, we have amy klobuchar. Weve had her in our top five for a while. The reason is simple. She does have a plausible path to surprise a little bit in iowa. Shes from the midwest. Shes done well in recent debates. Shes hanging in that 6, 7 area. Keep an eye on her, but she hasnt broken through the pack yet. Then we move to Elizabeth Warren, we moved her into a tie with Pete Buttigieg. Elizabeth warren has moved up and down our rankings a lot over the past year. When she started as a candidate, she was not in great shape. Then she obviously had a huge run over the summer. We put her up to number 1 briefly. We think three is the right spot for her and buttigieg. It seems as though within the first tier, which is four candidat candidat candidates, theyre clearly the third and fourth. That doesnt mean that much because if you told me Pete Buttigieg or Elizabeth Warren won iowa in 17 days time i wouldnt be that surprised and that would put them in good shape for new hampshire. Which leaves us with the final two, which remarkably if we had talked about this a year ago or two years ago, wed probably say, brooke, the top two were the top two we would have thought then. Bernie sanders at number two, sanders has since his heart attack on the campaign trail in the fall of last year, he has really bounced back quite nicely. Theres polling that suggests hes right in that mix in iowa, right in that mix or ahead in new hampshire. Hes going to run strong in nevada, which is february 22nd. I still think and this will transition me to number one south carolina, that february 29th race, thats the one that i think biden has in the bag barring some huge upset. And thats why we keep him at number one, because out of those top four that we list there, if you look at the first four states, the only state where i think any of those four can feel really good about winning is biden is south carolina. So if youve got that, i still youve got one in the bag, i think that helps. So because there are so many candidates, crazy question, could you have multiple winners in iowa . Yeah. Okay. So in addition to the fact that every poll in iowa has those four people, sanders, warren, buts judg buttigieg, and biden basically all tied, in addition, iowa has changed the way in which its going to report its results. Normally in the past they just said, okay, we did the caucuses. Hillary clinton got this many delegates for the national convention, Hillary Clinton got a few more, she won. Bernie sanders didnt like that because the raw vote was close, so now youre going to get first vote. Youre going to get a raw vote of all where every goes, the first time everybody caucuses. You move around the room, you stand for your candidate. Then youll get a final vote. Iowa caucuses, if you get under 15 of the vote at your caucus site, you are required to leave your candidate and try to pick one of the candidates who got over 15 . Well get that initial vote.
