The text of the resolution has yet to be released but sources say it is expected to reach the house floor by thursday.

When you look at the resolution, i will look at the legislation and tell you what i think. On monday some democrats were fuming after National Security adviser charles government skipped a meeting with lawmakers, filing a lawsuit asking a judge to decide if he had to comply with the congressional subpoena to appear. We are not willing to allow the white house to engage us in a lengthy game of rope a dope in the courts. Democrats are focused on impeachment, william barr said criminal investigation into the origins of the russia probe led by john durham remains ongoing. He thorough and fair and im confident he will get to the bottom of this. Tomorrow lawmakers will hear from a ukrainian expert on the National Security council who is expected to tell lawmakers he has serious concerns about Donald Trumps call with ukrainians leader and was worried the conversation could undermine us National Security.

Donald trump celebrating the work of Us Special Forces saying the mission is long overdue and that Abu Bakr Albaghdadi should have been killed years ago and the president should have gotten him. Jillian turner sifting through what we are learning about the raid tonight. Intelligence analysts are pouring over what is a treasure trove of new information, special Operations Forces scored during the raid that killed isis leader Abu Bakr Albaghdadi. All eyes on the we found electronic data, documents and even video recordings during the raid itself, the chairman of the joint chiefs says all of this will be crucial to future missions. There was material taken away. I dont want to characterize what or how much until it gets exploited properly. Sources say exploiting that material could yield priceless information about isiss plans for future attacks but leadership any under number of baghdadis excesses. Whoever takes the reins after baghdadi will be trained by terrorist mastermind. He took 20 people and beheaded them. He poured gasoline on a captured jordanian pilot a cage in northern iraq. Also the guy that killed thousands of people by beheading them. Reporter donald trump taking a jab is at his predecessor says reality is the search for baghdadi took way too long. He should have been killed years ago. Another president should have gotten him. Fox news has learned the raid was months in the making it involved significant intelligence from kurdish allies in syria including one rare informant at the heart of isis but now fresh on the heels of a counterterrorism success for the history books the president s already facing criticism from democrats who say he should have notified the gang of 8 before green lighting the raid. Talking about why didnt i give the information to adam schiff and his committee and the answer is i think adam schiff is the biggest leader in washington. Joe biden says the more details emerge about the raid the clearer it is credit for the victory doesnt go to the president saying that happened despite his ineptitude as commanderinchief. Breaking tonight fox news confirms out baghdadis number 2, isiss spokesperson, was also killed over the weekend in a nearby but separate us operation. Hours after the worlds most notorious terrorist was killed in Us Special Forces raid a Washington Post headline emphasizes not Abu Bakr Albaghdadi african is a terrace but his strict adherence to islam. The fact that a National Newspaper would describe this person as an austere scholar in their headline, in the immediate aftermath of the achievement of donald trump and the administration is truly appalling biden. For the latest impeachment news we bring in the senior political analyst brit hume, good to have you. Lets follow up on that. The president has taken heat from the left because he didnt inform democrats in advance of the mission. Heres what he said and democratic reaction as well. The only thing is they were talking about why didnt i give the information to adam schiff and his committee and the answer is i think adam schiff is the biggest weaker in washington. It is absurd to think they would have leak something a strategic, as crucial as this was as relates to the brave men and women of the United States military. What you make of equity . In retrospect he could safely have given that information to the gang of 8, the leadership in the Intelligence Community of both houses, but the fact that they didnt doesnt make any real difference when you think about it. They learned about it today later. Suspicions that adam schiff is a bigger are wellfounded so i think this is one of those things that focus on that by the left rather than the accomplishment of the mission of getting this guy that everybody, this was a bad dude joe pointed out in a tweet joe biden said this, we saw a statement, more details of the raid emerge it is clear the victory was not due to Donald Trumps leadership, it happened despite his ineptitude as commanderinchief, he goes on to note isis expanded rapidly during obama this sounds like what trump said when obama was claiming credit for the killing of bin laden. He said belongs to the us military. I dont think its fair to say, no way of knowing whether this was done despite Donald Trumps leadership of the military. Donald trump had to give the order that it was okay to try. Certainly get some credit for this. Joe biden says he will reduce that very much. This idea that theyre working on a resolution to put this thing on the floor to a vote. This is what nancy pelosi said in a letter to fellow democratic colleagues in the house. We will bring a resolution to the floor that affirms the ongoing existing investigation currently being conducted. We are taking the step to eliminating any doubt as to whether the Trump Administration may continue obstructing the house of representatives with the whole that is as we dont have to do this. They are doing it because it wont have an excuse to head over witnesses. Maybe it will strengthen their hand in Court Proceedings in some way but the baseline question is whether as a matter of law the house is required in order to use subpoenas and before for 7 impeachment inquiry without having taken a full house vote on starting the whole thing, this is a vote to authorize the next steps, the house never started in the first place, not sure what difference it will make but it is a matter of law. They can conduct this impeachment inquiry anyway they want. The relevant question, two important political questions because in the end it is a political matter. One is whether this sort of nonvote to authorize the inquiry will be sufficient to allow House Democrats who dont want to have to vote at this stage to authorize impeachment to escape responsibility for this. The second question and ultimate question is what about the senate. How is this playing over the senate where a trial will be held and where two thirds of the place would have to vote to convict him which means the president could lose up to 19 republican senators in the senate and still survive in office. From what we know from republicans now have not been impressed with the way this thing is being conducted in the house i dont think this will help very much on that score. Republicans in the senate will object to this will continue to do so. Shannon a key witness did not show up today. I think we can infer from white house opposition to doctor oppermans testimony that they believe his testimony would be incriminating to the president. If you dont show up it is intimidating for the president and bolsters the case of obstruction. He also said no one can sue the congress, no private citizen Consumer Congress to avoid a subpoena. That is nonsense. Anybody can sue anybody, doesnt mean they will get far with it. Adam schiffs credibility is pretty threadbare. He made these grandiose statements during the russia inquiry about all this evidence he had. We never saw it into in the end it is exhaustive and did not find it either. The man has a tendency to talk through his hat. To simply say we can infer knowledge out of this is something that should be taken with a large grain if not a block of salt. Shannon thank you for being with us. The family of a worker and isis prisoner Kayla Mueller is praising donald trump and the soldiers who pulled off the raid the killed isis leader Abu Bakr Albaghdadi, some harsh words for former president barack obama, telling the republic, quote, i say kayla should be here and if obama had been as decisive as donald trump maybe she would be.

Trace gallagher takes us through the secret Mission Minute by minute. Reporter after years of intelligence gathering, building sources and developing a precise strategy of attack us forces finally got the break they were looking for. Intelligence from numerous organizations throughout the department of defense and across the interagency identified the location four miles from the turkish border. Reporter once the white house learned there was a high profile that Abu Bakr Albaghdadi would be in that compound, it set off 48 hours of planning that would culminate in a daring and dangerous raid but on friday with the clock ticking the president held his parts close even heading to camp david to celebrate the 10th wedding anniversary of his daughter ivanka and soninlaw jared kushner. Saturday appeared normal as well, donald trump played golf with Major League Baseball commissioner rob manforward along with Lindsey Graham and david perdue and 4 18 saturday afternoon the president got back to the white house with 45 minutes, he was in a suit, seated in the situation room monitoring the raid with New York Times imagery and after the White House Team was in place a group of ch 48 helicopters took off from western iraq. Us forces were infiltrated by helicopter and the objective, secure the target compound. A local butcher told the Associated Press this i helicopters will blow on the horizon saying we went out on the balcony to see and they started shooting with automatic rifles so we went inside and hid. Next the villagers heard a large explosion, donald trump explained it as soldiers blasting a whole in the side of the building because they fear the engines might be boobytrapped. Authorities believe at that point baghdadi fled into a network of underground tunnels. The Assault Force was engage with small arms fire and the threats were eliminated. Our forces isolated the compound and protected the noncombatants. Clearing the objective, us forces discovered Abu Bakr Albaghdadi hiding it as well, the Assault Force closed in and he detonated a suicide vest. The chairman of the joint chiefs says Abu Bakr Albaghdadi drag 3 children with them. The terror chief went whimpering, crying and screaming all the way to his death. He reached the end of the tunnel as our dogs chased him down. He ignited his vest, killing himself and the three children. Reporter we are told Abu Bakr Albaghdadis remains were taken to a secure facility to confirm his identity before the dna testing. The instant forensic analysis is a dramatic demonstration of new capabilities special forces possess but the white house says the combination of visual evidence and dna tests confirmed Abu Bakr Albaghdadis identity. Is remains in accordance with the law of armed conflict. Reporter islamic rituals were followed before Abu Bakr Albaghdadis body was buried at the scene much like usama bin laden. Shannon thank you. Isis supporters say the group is wasting no time closing ranks. Former cia director James Woolsey and former deputy under secretary Lieutenant General jerry boycan both join us to discuss. Approach isis telegram channel says with the impure crusaders do not understand with regard to the muslim create especially that of the jihadist fighters is jihad in its entirety is not founded on men but creed. The Islamic State shall remain, it shall disturb the lives of the infidels and punish the apostate. Where does this put us in the fight against isis . This was a great operation that was precise. It had very little Collateral Damage and took out the most wanted man in the world. This sends a strong message to the next leader of isis or al qaeda that you may be next. This is not a position you should be looking forward to because we are going to come after you. We will
