to question, the top diplomat in ukraine bill taylor and marie yovanovitch, who expressed concern over the white house plan to withhold military aid to ukraine, until ukraine committed to investigating joe biden and his son. also on the side of the democrats, john bolton, the former national security adviser. he made his steadfast opposition to pressuring ukraine well-known around the white house. congressional correspondent phil mattingly has more on the mellowdrama on capitol hill. >> reporter: republicans have made no secret of their frustration about much of the democratic impeachment inquiry, up to this point, one month in, is taking place behind closed doors. they decided to let that frustration come out a little bit. going into a closed-door deposition, interrupting that closed-door deposition, inside a secured conference room, including bringing, some of them, bringing their electronic devices in, which is a total no-no. all to make the point they

decent believe the democratic investigation is on the up and up. it was, to say the least, a piece of theater, one with intent. that was two-fold. one to show that frustration in public, to make a big show of it. and also to show the president that many of them met with at the white house, they are fighting for him. it postponed, for hours, the deposition of a top pentagon official, laura cooper, who had oversight of the ukraine portfolio, at the crux of this investigation. the democrats will continue to move forward on the impeachment inquiry. after the testimony of the top diplomat in ukraine, william taylor, making clear in, very, very detailed way, he believed there had been a quid pro quo related to that ukrainian aid, something the president has denied. democrats believe their case is as strong as ever. this point in time, house republicans, at least, making clear they're going to be fighting for the president, even

>> we don't know what he said is true or not because of the sham process being used. >> "the new york times" reports top-level ukrainian officials were aware by august that president trump was withholding nearly $400 million in military aid. that undermines arguments by the president and his allies, that the ukrainians weren't being bullied because they weren't aware that security was being withheld. vladimir zelensky and his team were discussing the pressure they were feeling from the trump administration and rudy giuliani to publicly launch investigations that could help mr. trump's re-election prospects. ahead, allegations of war crimes, not enough to keep sanctions on in turkey. cnn live, in turkey, ahead. we call it the mother standard of care.

♪ remember when then-candidate donald trump said this -- >> i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters, okay? >> it's a legal argument for trump's attorneys in a case for trump tax returns.

about presidential immunity, the president's attorney told a federal judge, the president could not be charged nor investigated if he shot someone in the street. >> what's your view on the fifth avenue example? local authorities couldn't do anything? >> once a president is removed from office -- any local authority. this is not permanent immunity. >> i'm talking while in office. >> no. >> nothing could be done? that's your position? >> that is correct. >> the judge appeared skeptical of the sweeping claims of presidential immunity. the president's attorney asked the court to block a subpoena for financial records. the case goes back to stormy daniels and another woman during the election. this could end up at the supreme court during an election year. 13. president trump lifting all sanctions on turkey.

the announcement came after russia and turkey agreed to hold joint patrols on the border. the kremlin weighing in as trump seemed to wash his hands of future involvement in syria. >> supposed to be a quick hit. let's get out. it was a quick hit. but they stayed for almost ten years. let someone else fight over this long blood-stained sand. just a short time earlier, the special envoy to syria voiced his concerns to congress. >> the mission was defeating isis. if you remove the troops before that mission is complete, then you have a problem. and we do have a problem right now. >> syrian enjoy james jeffery and mark esper said turkish-backed rebels have likely committed multiple war crimes. we go to the border. good morning, jomana.

>> reporter: good morning, dave. when you look at the situation on the ground right now, yes, you might have this agreement between turkey and the russians. it could mean, basically, an extension of this cease-fire and turkey extending its operations for now. but the situation on the ground is so messy and so chaotic, there's been so many different officials voicing concerns about what this means for isis. this is a group that is known for exploiting these kind of situations. if you listen to what president trump was saying, again, it's a classic case that he was contradicting what senior officials were saying. only 100 isis officials have escaped, while they have been largely recaptured. but other officials are saying, no, about 100 prisoners escaped and they don't know where they are. and you have the president

saying the democratic forces are guarding the isis forces right now, making it like there's no issue when it comes to isis. because of the chaos on the ground, you have so many different groups, the president saying turkey is going to take over. they will be a backup for the syrian kurds, when it comes to making sure that the isis prisoners don't escape. but this is not in the area of the turkish government. and you have the syrian regime and the russians moving in. a chaotic situation on the ground. and the question is, who will be picking up this fight against isis? as many would say, isis, along with other extremist groups, one of the biggest winners in this chaotic situation, dave. >> thank you. ahead, we'll talk a little world series. the nationals on a roll and

breaking overnight, evacuations in sonoma county, california, ahead of this wildfire. people have been asked to leave immediately. now, a recuring nightmare for hundreds of thousands of customers in california. pacific gas and electric cutting electricity to a dozen counties in the northern part of the state to reduce the risk of wildfires. the second time this month that a major utility in southern california could be following suit. our dan simon is in l.a. >> reporter: dave and christine, folks here in northern california, once again, firing up the portable generators as pg&e, pacific gas and electric, once again shutting off for about 180,000 customers. and that's happening because of the strong winds.

the winds could be as strong as 60 miles per hour, enough to topple over utility polls and cause a catastrophic wildfire. businesses are going to lose money. and it's no fun for anybody when you lose electricity. one of the biggest critics towards the pg&e for all of this, has been the governor, gavin newsom, who has been saying for decades, pg&e, has been prioritizing profits over public safety. in the meantime, southern california could be impacted, as well. 300,000 or so customers could lose power over the next day or so, because of the santa ana winds. all this, a reaction to some of the state's worst and most destructive fires, including the camp fire. that killed 85 people last year

remember when then-candidate donald trump infamously said this --

>> i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters. >> it's a legal argument for trump's attorneys in a case for trump tax returns. about presidential immunity, the president's attorney told a federal judge, the president could not be charged nor investigated if he shot someone in the street. >> what's your view on the fifth avenue example? local authorities couldn't do anything? >> once a president is removed from office -- any local authority. this is not permanent immunity. >> i'm talking while in office. >> no. >> nothing could be done? that's your position? >> that is correct. >> the judge appeared skeptical of the sweeping claims of presidential immunity. the president's attorney asked the court to block a subpoena for records. >> let's talk to marshall cohen.

>> good morning. >> what did you make of that interaction and, further, that exchange? what did the judge make of the legal argument here? >> some of us in the courtroom were a little surprised to hear how far they were willing to go on the immunity. but to be totally clear, it was actually the people on the other side that brought this up. the lawyer arguing on behalf of the manhattan district attorney invoked that fifth avenue statement from donald trump during the 2016 campaign. it was later in the arguments that the federal judges brought it to trump's lawyer and say, you know what? what would happen? you heard it in the tape, nothing could be done. but overall, they were skeptical of the arguments from the president's legal team, that this subpoena, to his accounting firm, should be blocked. should be thrown out.

they said, listen, what would the distraction be to the president if the accountants filled out paperwork and it went to the d.a. this is probably heading to the supreme court next year for the election year showdown. >> that will be fascinating. meanti meantime, this gop pizza party. >> solid, well done. >> gop lawmakers tried to storm a secure briefing room to try to make a point, that they don't like the process of this impeachment inquiry. it's not a trial. it's an inquiry. they don't like things happening behind closed doors. a couple points, some of the lawmakers were actually on the committee. they had access already. >> they could have been in there. >> this was a publicity stunt. it may have pushed democrats to say, we want to speed up the impeachment process and make this open to the public. >> it could have.

there's reporting in the past 24 hours that things may be changing on that front. i'm not 100% sure that if the democrats move to the public testimony that republicans are going to be all that happy with the outcome. wouldn't it be more damaging to the president to have these officials testify in public, in front of the cameras? the hearings will go on for hours. they'll dominate the coverage. that could sway public opinion that a few leaks here and there, in an article, doesn't really percolate. >> democrats are trying to figure out how to present it, too, how to tell the story of ukraine. it is a complicated story, too. the public was confused many times by the mueller testimony. they didn't see that storyline and that thread. couldn't grab it. >> tomorrow marks a month in all of this. what do you think has resonated with the american people? we see the line moving up toward supporting. >> great question, dave. that line is moving.

i think, take a look back at where we started. we started with a whistleblower ukraine. we weren't sure what had gone on behind the scenes. one month later, we know a lot. we know that a lot that was in that complaint has been corroborated by multiple witnesses. and it boils down to, donald trump, allegedly, using the powers of his office to solicit foreign interference. and he's confirmed some parts of it with his own public statements. the witnesses have done so behind closed doors. they made a lot of progress this past month. we'll see how quickly they want to pick up the pace heading towards thanksgiving next month. >> we listened to mel brooks who wouldn't take prepared testimony from the top diplomat, bill taylor. he would not accept the substance. they're talking about the process. that could undermine them if the

american people look at the deep staters and say, this is a vietnam veteran that's a career public servant. >> yeah. he was tough with manu there. the question posed to that congressman was the sworn testimony to the u.s. ambassador. his testimony carries some weight. he is an expert on the topic. he's been appointed to that post by george w. bush. he stayed there for a bit under obama. he was sent back there by mike pompe pompeo. now, they're treating him like a deep stater. it's getting brutal. >> you should be a busy man. marshall is marshaling. deep dive, putting all of the pieces together. find it on cnn's website.

i believe in giving people a voice. >> you plan to do no fact-checking on any ads? >> chair woman, our policy is that we do not fact-check on politicians speech. >> you do no fact-checking on any ads. is that correct? >> we work with a set of independent fact-checkers, who -- >> somebody fact-checks on ads. you contract with someone to do that. is that right? >> chairwoman, yes. >> reporter: it was confusing to follow that conversation. but mark zuckerberg said

multiple times he believes when politicians lie, he wants the public to see it. that's his rationale for not fact-checking political ads. it did not sit well with the committee at all. >> we learned when there's lies -- meddling, lies and fake stuff on facebook, the public believes it. he said previously, he's looking for journalists to fact-check t it. lawmakers kept challenging, right? >> reporter: it came up repeatedly. and alexandria ocasio cortez tried to pin him down on just that. listen. >> would i be able to run advertisements on facebook, targeting republicans in primarying saying they voted for the green new deal. if you're not fact-checking,
