Howie kurtz on why abc executives are reeling over the reports that they quashed the story of serial part of file Jeffrey Epstein. But first lets go back to our top guest tonight. Chairman judiciary chairman lindsey graham. Welcome. Good to have you with us tonight. Thank you. Martha you say the policy, proves that there was a lot of incoherrence from the administration on what they wanted to do. Here is one common thing. Not one person has talked to President Trump about whether or not he wanted a quid pro quo. Taylor is saying he assumed there was quid pro quo based on what sundland said, the e. U. Ambassador. Now his memory is refreshed i presume there was and volker, said there was no connection between meetings and investigating biden. Martha it is interesting because sondland said he did pick up the phone and speak with the president at one point and he said the president told me that there was no quid pro quo and that he wanted zelensky to do what he ran on. Thats a telling statement. Youve got a statement from the president to sundland saying this is not a quid pro quo. I want him to clean up corruption before i give him 400 million. The president of ukraine said no, i was never threatened by President Trump, i never believed there was a quid pro quo where i had to investigate joe biden and hunter biden to get 400 million of military aid. The whole thing is a joke. The whole thing is being driven bipartisans in the house. Adam schiff is not looking for the truth and the testimony is incoherrent. It depends on who you talk to but there is one common theme. The president of ukraine and the president of the United States have both said there was no quid pro quo. Martha with regard to adam schiff, here is what he said today when he walked out of this transcript release. Most important facts are largely not contested. The president enlisted whole departments of government in the illicit aim of trying to get ukraine to dig up dirt on a political opponent as well as further Conspiracy Theory about the 2016 election that he believed would be beneficial to his reelection campaign. Martha once again, just like during the russia probe, adam schiff before this process has really actually begun, public hearings arent until next week, he already knows what the answer is. That statement is full of crap. Bill taylor. What does he base his belief that there was a quid pro quo on . What is the factual basis . A conversation with sundland. Why did sundland change his testimony . Was there a connection between sundland and democratic operatives on the committee . Did he talk to schiff . Did he talk to staffers . When someone remembers something they didnt know before it makes me incredibly suspicious. Why did sondland change his mind . What prompted him to change his mind about maybe there was a quid pro quo when i said there wasnt . Martha the whistleblower issue with regard to adam schiff is a big one here. Right. Martha you said you believe this process cant go forward until the whistleblower is known and questioned in some way, shape or form. A lot of stories out there about who this person is and it all seems to be coming from one source so were hanging back on this but there are indications that this person may have worked in the n. S. C. , may have worked in the Obama Administration and been a holdover. Why do you think you have to hear from that person in order to move forward . Without the whistleblower complaint, we wouldnt be talking about the subject matter right now, right . So what if the whistleblower was tied to a democrat . What if the whistleblower was tied to brennan and people from the Intel Community who had been out to destroy the Trump Presidency even before he got elected . What if this person came from that world . What if they had a bias . The whistleblower statute is being abused. It does not give persons anonymity when it comes to making a claim of wrongdoing. It protects them from being fired. The constitution trumps the statute. No american including donald trump should be accused of something based on an anonymous source. I want to know who the whistleblower is. What ties they have to the Intel Community, if any. And were they working with a democrat . Did they have an agenda like brennan and clapper . Martha a lot of folks would say thats exactly what needs to happen and that the Judiciary Committee needs to bring adam schiff before it and ask those questions. Is that something that you are going to do . No. Im not going to subpoena a member of the house. If they subpoenaed me i wouldnt go. We have separate branches of government. The state department is the entity in question, not the department of justice. Im hoping the Foreign Relations committee will look at whether or not hunter biden and joe biden did anything wrong when it came to firing the prosecutor. The point im trying to make is if adam schiff talked to the whistleblower before he filed the complaint, that becomes relevant but youre not going to have one body subpoena somebody from the other body, but if you do bring the whistleblower forward and they have been asked under oath did you talk to adam schiff then all bets are off about adam schiff being a witness. He can be called in. Martha a lot of folks have pointed to statements you have made in the past and said that they want you to bring forth hunter biden and perhaps even joe biden, the former Vice President , and ask them these questions from your position as chairman of the house Judiciary Committee and you said that you cant do that. No. Number one, the senate Judiciary Committee doesnt have any jurisdiction over the state department. The allegation is that they withheld aid to the ukraine. Unless they fired the prosecutor investigating Hunter Bidens company. Thats a state department inquiry. Not a department of justice inquiry. At the end of the day, the senate is set up. We have jurisdiction. Its limited. The department of justice and the f. B. I. But i do believe, based on John Solomons reporting somebody needs to look at whether or not the state department was being asked to do things to get rid of the prosecutor because he was getting too close to joe biden. People are frustrated. They want to get back at hunter and joe biden. We have a process in the statement. We need to take the john solomon evidence that he disclosed and have a hearing regarding the state department about what role they played in having this prosecutor fired, and see where it goes from there. Thats what i think we should do. The whistleblower needs to be named and we need to be able to crossexamine that person for any bias. Martha with regard to Rudy Giulianis role in this, you have said that you want him to testify. Hes one person you think would appropriately be testifying before your committee. Are you going to do that . I invited him and he hasnt responded. Hes the president s lawyer so i doubt we could actually get him to come unless he volunteered to come so what i hope will happen is that we will look at the hunter biden, joe biden connection to firing the prosecutor based on the john solomon discovery about emails between the state department and this company. Thats the way to start this thing. As to whats going on in the house, i think its a political sham. I think there is no evidence at all that the president engaged in a quid pro quo and i am closedminded to the idea of impeaching this president based on this phone call. Martha going back to the origins of the russia investigation because you met with attorney general bill barr today. What can you tell us to update us on that and will there be any further hearings with regard to Rod Rosenstein and Andrew Mccabe and invoking the 25th amendment and things you have mentioned in the past . Im going to start with horowitz. His report is about done. Well get him to come before the committee to talk about what hes found in terms of fisa intelligence abuse in the investigation of the trump campaign. I think his report is going to be damning, i think its going to prove that the system got off the rails and we need corrective action. Where we go from there i wont know until i hear from him. I trust horowitz to be fair. I dont trust adam schiff to be fair. I trusted mueller to be fair. I dont trust the house nadlerschiff team to be fair to the president. This whole process in the house is driven bipartisan politicians who hate trumps guts. Thats the big difference between mueller and horowitz. Martha the American People will get a chance to see whats going on in these public hearings, we hope, as that moves forward. Lindsey graham, thank you. Thank you. Martha next up an exclusive interview with Kentucky Attorney general elect daniel cameron, a person you will probably be hearing a lot more about, a person who made history in his state. Your next attorney general. Daniel cameron. A star is born. Ever see that movie . A star is born. dramatic orchestra performance comes in lots of flavors.

Congratulations to daniel cameron. Martha 33yearold Republican Daniel Cameron making history lafayette night in kentucky winning the race for attorney general and becoming the first africanamerican to be independently elected to statewide office in the bluegrass state. Here he is the night before the election. Should i bring daniel up . Get up here, daniel. Mr. President , i hope you can tell that kentucky is trump country. [applause] we are proud to stand with you on prolife issues, and here in the commonwealth we are going to stand up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Martha martha joining me now, exclusively, daniel cameron, Kentucky Attorney generalelect. Now that that its sunk in a little bit, how do you feel about winning this race for attorney general in kentucky tonight . Thank you, martha. I appreciate you having me on. It is an extreme honor to have been voted as the next attorney general here in the commonwealth of kentucky. We have obviously hit the ground running today. I was in meetings this morning with my team sort of working on our transition as we look forward to really, in this role, helping to improve the Public Safety outcomes of the men and women of all 120 counties, so its a great honor. Obviously, youre humbled by the experience of having seen your name on the ballot and being voted upon by your fellow kentuckians, so im grateful to everyone who ultimately decided to give me an opportunity to serve this commonwealth as its next attorney general. Martha in terms of the sort of barriers that you broke, i dont always like to focus on those because i like to focus on the talent that people have and the elections that they won but i was reading that you grew up in the shadow of the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln. On a personal note, what are you thinking about all of that . This was a historic race, and a historic election, as you noted im the first independently voted upon africanamerican to serve in statewide elected office here in the commonwealth of kentucky and i dont shrink from that. Im proud of the history of the Republican Party and i grew up in elizabethtown, kentucky, harden county which is not too far from the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln so hes always been someone who has inspired my interest in Public Service, and so it was a great honor, again, to be elected as the attorney general last evening. I hope that folks that look like me, regardless candidly of their political affiliation not only look at me and say that i want to vote for him at the ballot box but also make the decision that perhaps they want to put their name up for Public Service and for public office. It has been a great thrill to have the opportunity to run. We started this campaign in january of this year and i spent 10plus months on the road talking to kentuckyans about what they care about in terms of the Attorney Generals Office and it was clear they wanted someone who was going to renew the promise of the office as the chief Law Enforcement office in the commonwealth of kentucky and enforcing the laws passed by the general assembly, a new face in the a. G. s office and im excited to be a part of that. Martha you were a Legal Counsel for Mitch Mcconnell, and some people are already speculating you gist won one election, theyre you just won one election, theyre saying perhaps he could be a successor to Mitch Mcconnell or governor himself. S are those aspirations that you have . As i told the people at the postelection party, i was glad to have the fraternal order of police and i want to be in the business of improving the Public Safety outcomes for the men and women and children of all 120 counties, i had the opportunity to serve as senator mcconnells Legal Counsel in d. C. And it was a transformative experience, im grateful for his service to the commonwealth. Martha its great to meet you and congratulations again on your election. I hope you will come back and we can talk more about topics as they come up in your office, daniel cameron, congratulations again. Thank you. Martha coming up next.

Geico proudly supporting the military for over 75 years. Martha the death of nine women and children in mexico revealing there is a lot of history between the mormon lebarron family and the chihuahua and sinaloa drug cartels in northern mexico and it appears that this week the cartels came back for more. The cartels killed two of the lebarrons several years ago causing the lebarron family to build a fortress essentially around their towns with watch towers and to take turns guarding it. We were never pinpointing drug cartels or anything else but when it came to them now kidnapping our family members, thats what we took a stand against. If we have to die doing it were going to. Martha in this part of mexico the american guns flood in and the drugs flow north to america. Its a business that is protected in part by some corrupt and terrified mexican officials as well as the cartels. Chief correspondent Trace Gallagher has this unbelievable back story. The nine People Killed in the attack were all members of the lebarron family, a family with roots in mexico dating back 100 years, after the church of latterday saints banned polyg amay the lebarrons moved south. The lebarrons have abandoned polygamy choosing to buy up land and build profitable farms but their wealth has caught the attention of the drug cartels. In 2009 mexican drug gangs kidnapped 16yearold eric lebaron and demanded a 1 million ransom. The lebarons refused to pay and convinced lawmakers to respond. The state set up road blocks and provided troops and helicopters. Six days later eric lebar ron was set free but erics older brother benjamin called for a crac
