tuesday, december 10th. 5:00 a.m. in the east. 55 days until the iowa caucuses. breaking overnight, house democrats plan to unveil two articles of impeachment against president trump this morning. we expect to learn more at a news conference set for 9:00 a.m. eastern. what we do know, according to sources, there will be one article on abuse of power and another on obstruction of congress. >> we are in a place where the leadership of our committees of jurisdiction have gotten the last input of it and the q&a -- the question and answer, from the minority side from all of this will make a recommendation how we will go forward. >> at a closed door meeting, last night with speaker nancy pelosi, democrats debated whether to include obstruction of justice. getting the votes to pass that separate count could be too difficult. but references to the mueller

allegations will likely be woven in to show a larger pattern of misconduct by the president. yesterday's chaotic hearing kicked off a two-week dash to loic likely end up in the third impeachment of a president in history. there were cases for and against impeachment, highlights a bitter partisan divide. >> president trump's persistent and continuing effort to coerce a foreign country to help him cheat to win an election, is a clear and present danger to our free and fair elections and to our security. >> to impeach a president who 63 million people voted for over eight lines in a call transcript is baloney. >> these go unchecked, they will continue and only grow worst. each of us took an oath to defend the constitution. the president is a continuing threat to the constitution. we will now hear presentations of evidence. >> mr. chairman?

not recognized. >> i have a parliamentary inquiry. >> is this just when we hear questions of other staff and the members get dealt out of the whole hearing. you're going to try to overturn the results of an election with unelected people giving testimony. >> the debate over the articles of impeachment will be in the judiciary committee on thursday. white house sources believe impeachment is a foregone conclusion. they are looking beyond the house to a trial in the senate, and looking for witnesses to refute that president trump pressured ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election. president trump's claim that the fbi spied on his 2016 campaign is false. according to the inspector-general, the bureau's investigation of the campaign was legal and without bias. that finding undercuts years of conspiracy theories peddled by the president and his allies.

the i.g.'s report found the case was plagued by 17 significant inaccuracies and omissions in surveillance warrant applications for carter page. jim baker was the top fbi lawyer when this began. given the findings, he would like to hear from the president. >> i think the president should apologize to us. i would ask him to apologize to me and my colleagues because the things he said were just wrong. he should step up and do that at a minimum. >> there were new revelations in the report. among them, pro-trump texts by fbi agents in 2016. comparing his win to a super bowl comeback. the president spent years calling out anti-trump texts by members of the bureau. and christopher steele, the former british spy who compiled a dossier on the president, told investigators it was ridiculous to think that he was biased against mr. trump. why? he had been friendly with ivanka trump.

steele said, if anything, he was favorably disposed toward the trump family. the inspector-general's findings are clear and undeniable. but the president and his allies disagree. >> this was an overthrow of government. this was an attempted overthrow. and a lot of people were in on it and they got caught. they got caught red-handed. >> the actual report was something of a disaster to the fbi. that was obvious to anybody that read it. what we have been reporting for years was dead-on accurate. >> the report, as i mentioned to hannity, is a devastating indictment of our fbi and intel gathering apparatus. >> no, it was not. but attorney general bill barr is taking the extraordinary step of disagreeing publicly with his own inspector-general. he insists the probe was launched on, quote, the thinnest suspicions. john durham, hand-picked by barr

to investigate the investigation, also says he does not agree with some of the report's conclusions. a head, more than a dozen people feared dead after that volcanic eruption in new zealand. burn units are at capacity with no signs of life on the island. we're ahead in new zealand. let's go to sumatra. the coffee here is amazing. because the volcanic soil is amazing. so we give farmers like win more plants. to grow more delicious coffee. which helps provide for win's family. all, for a smoother tasting cup of coffee. green mountain coffee roasters. finally a little oh my goodness.? ♪ i love you, yes it's true ♪ there's no one else i'd choose ♪ ♪this may not completely rhyme but i'd be totally lost without you. save on a gift that says it all. ♪ jared the wait is over. t-mobile is lighting up 5g nationwide. while some 5g signals go only blocks, t-mobile 5g goes miles... beyond the big cities to the small towns... to the people.

paid hundreds of dollars each, to take boat rides to the volcano, and get so close, to this active, seismic, volcano that erupted. there were people that were standing feet away from the crater. there were nine americans that were on white island at the time of the eruption, including an american couple from virginia. we spoke with one of the other tourists that were on a boat. and you see this video of a smoke plume engulfing the entire island. and the boats went back to rescue survivors. they describe 23 people, on one boat alone, with their skin hanging off of them. burns over 30% of their bodies. within the last hour, the death toll raising from five to six. and hospital officials warn that

just over three hours, democrats in the house will have two articles of impeachment in the house. there will be one article on abuse of power and another on obstruction of congress. >> let's bring in sara westwood.

did we learn what the two are or the one that is missing there? the omission, from an obstruction of justice, that would take us down the mueller report. >> that's right, dave. at the moment, the most likely sn scenario is that house democrats will reveal two articles of impeachment. the third article of impeachment that was under discussion, late last night, as house democrats huddled, working behind the articles of impeachment. that speaks to some of the things that robert mueller uncovered in the russia investigation. there was concern among house democrats that that could lend credence to the gop talking points. that could lead to the perception for democrats to be fishing for something to impeach on for months now. and not acting on the clear evidence they have in the ukrainian controversy. and that demonstrates the

extremely thin tightrope that nancy pelosi has been walking, navigating this scenario when you have two dozen democrats in districts that trump carried in 2016. you have progressives that believe that trump should have been impeached before this. nancy pelosi is dealing with this without losing a couple of house democrats. >> yesterday, she was at a council meeting in d.c. does she have the votes? is she counting the votes? this is what she said. on an issue like this, people just count the votes. i never asked anybody. are they going forward? never. >> people just make their voices

known on it. i find it hard they have an account here. >> they have played their eventual vote on the impeachment articles close to the vest. democrats don't want to give the perception this is a foregone conclusion. they aren't giving the appearance of fairness to the white house. if many democrats were telegraphing how they were going to vote before all of the boxes were checked with impeachment, that can undermine the strength of impeachment. the democrats believe they have a strong case. you will see a lot of democrats telegraphing how they are going to vote on the articles of impeachment. it's clearly there in the house right now. >> outside of the beltway view. they are getting the usmca to the finish line here. it's interesting that a win -- the pass of the usmca is a win for the white house. but for the same moderate

democrats that want to go home and say, we got this done for american workers as we're proceeding on impeachment. >> it was an amazing juxtaposition, that as you have this hearing unveiling, you saw signals there was going to be movement on usmca. there was going to be movement on government funding avoiding a shutdown. surprise medical billing, like paid family leave. we saw signals there will be a flurry of partisan activity. we could have what could be a party-line vote on impeachment. house democrats are poised to join in the bipartisan agreements. that will undercut what has become the central argument of allies and president trump calling them do-nothing democrats if they're only focused on impeachment. it's shrewd of pelosi to pursue the other things. they do give president trump a

win at a time he's vulnerable. >> yesterday, the long-awaited d.o.j. report, about the deep state, spying on the trump campaign. like everything today, sara, this was a political rorschach test. the process was littered with mistakes or it confirms there was no die ybias in starting th russian investigation. my favorite part, comparing election coverage to watching a super bowl comeback. in broad strokes, what were the takeaways from your report? >> the report did punch a hole in one of trump's top conspiracy theory. that's that the investigation was started solely to hurt his campaign. that's something that the ne inspector-general refuted. he said there's no documentary

or testimonial evidence. but the opening of the investigation was biased. this report did not exxon rate what the fbi did in the investigation. there were serious mistakes that agents made along the way. you could characterize them as questionable procedures. and we're likely to hear some harsh scrutiny applied to that. later this week, it's tomorrow before the senate, when horowitz, the inspector general, testifies about his report. some republicans are cautioning people not to make a decision, not to draw conclusions about the report until they hear from horowitz. >> nice to see you this morning. thank you for that. have a great day. busy day. another busy day. an announcement to advance the usmca could happen today. it's different from the nafta in several ways. one of the biggest changes is it will require more car parts to be made in north america, in order for the car to be free from tariffs.

a lot of what transpires, the transparen transparency, what they offer and what they are learning through their own investigations, what the king has promised to share the fbi, is going to be important and critical to how president trump's handling of this with the saudis is viewed and the political pressures that will pile up on him because of that. what we've learned through the twitter thread, and it's investigated as the twitter thread, belonging to the attacker himself. he post eed before the attack anti-american sentiment, he had been posting what was retweeting what was anti-saudi sentiment. it was expressed through the words of an author. an author that has been locked up for 2 1/2 years and others that the saudis deem to be radicals. the transparencies they offer around it will reflect on the
