Then they name names other than trump, all of them big names with a lot to lose. And there are Phone Records they link trumps guy, Rudy Giuliani, to the white house ph Budget Office and they link devin nunes with lev parnas, who may be working for the feds. All of this on the next wave of impeachment hearings, donald trump is in london. Kamala harris is out of the race. We have it all covered as The 11th Hour gets under way this tuesday night.
