top health officials meeting today. hillary clinton walking back her claim she might not back bernie sanders. he's the -- if he's the nominee. what the mess means for his supporters. and derek jeter is heading to the hall of fame. somehow only -- only 99.7% of voters agree. good morning, and welcome to "early start." i'm christine romans. >> i'm laura jarrett. it's wednesday, january 22nd. 5:00 a.m. in the east. 12 days until the iowa caucuses. at least one thing is guaranteed for today's opening arguments at president trump's impeachment trial. 100 senators will be there, and they're going to be tired. house managers prosecuting the case and the trump defense team did not finish sparring over the rules for the senate trial until nearly 2. :00 a.m. after 13 hours, patience was wearing thin, and tempers were running hot. >> so far i'm sad to say i see a lot of senators voting for a cover-up. voting to deny witnesses.

and absolutely indefensible vote, obviously a prech russ vote. -- a treacherous vote. history will judge, and so will the electorate. the chairman. >> the chairman of the judiciary committee in this body on the floor of this senate said executive privilege and other nonsense. is that the way you view the united states constitution? that's not the way it was written. that is not the way it's interpreted, and it is not the way the american people should have to live. >> things became so heated, perhaps the most notable moment of the late night came as chief justice john roberts tried to cool things down. >> i think it is appropriate at this point for me to admonish both the house managers and president's counsel in equal terms to remember that they are addressing the world's greatest deliberative body. one reason it has earned that

title is because its members avoid speaking in a manner and using language that is not conducive to civil discourse. i don't think we need to aspire to that high a standard, but i do nthink those addressing the senate should remember where they are. >> democrats offered 11 amendments to the rules. all voted down. ten along straight party lines. susan collins of maine crossed the aisle once voting to give senators more time to respond to motions. among the amendments rejected, subpoenas for testimony or documents from the white house, the state department, the budget office, trump's chief of staff mick mulvaney, and former national security adviser john bolton. >> at 1:58 a.m., voters voted to adopt the rules which changed a bit from the initial proposal. cnn has learned moderate and conservative republican senators raised objections to majority leader mitch mcconnell's original plan. under revised rules, both sides will now have three days for 24 hours of opening arguments instead of having to pack it all

into two days. evidence from the house will automatically be entered into the senate trial instead of requiring a separate vote. >> to call this process partisan would be an understatement. at bill clinton's senate trial republicans and democrats accepted rules by a vote of 100-0. this time they are standing in the way of new witnesses and documents despite what senator mitch mcconnell told cnn in 1999. >> my view was that we were entitled to witnesses. i voted for live witnesses. had my vote prevailed, there would have been live witnesses. i would have been prepared to vote for whatever the house managers wanted in terms of putting on their trial. >> in a twist overnight, an email dumped from the budget office shows why democrats want documents and witnesses. republican lawmakers are shown asking about the ukraine aid back in august when reports emerged the aid was being held. four republicans would have to join democrats to subpoena

additional evidence. president trump ending his visit to the world economic forum in switzerland in just a few hours. that hasn't stopped him from airing out his grievances on twitter against the impeachment trial. cnn's jeremy diamond traveling with the president. he is live for us in davos. jeremy? >> reporter: the debate was still raging on the floor of the senate when the president woke up this morning in davos, switzerland. the president is here for the world economic forum. he gave remarks yesterday, opening remarks at this forum, focused largely on touting the strength of the u.s. economy, also offering controversial remarks on climate change. it was clear that impeachment was not far from his mind. even as the president is several thousands of miles away from washington where this is going down, the president yesterday going into those remarks, calling impeachments a hoax once again. and we were told by the white house press secretary yesterday that the president was being briefed on the impeachment proceedings in the senate as the

day went on. and as he woke up this morning, the president quickly took to twitter, tweeting more than 40 times tweets or retweets focused on impeachment, criticizing democrats, touting the presentations by his legal team. we also heard from the president directly this morning. the president as he arrived at the world economic forum for day two, his final day here, the president saying that he was pleased with the presentations by his legal team. and he believes he has a winning case. back to you. >> thank you so much. the president got two trade deals over the finish line. so what's he doing in davos? well, threatening more tariffs. on who and why next. if you have moderate to severe psoriasis,

permitted, he seems to be very much supporting it. >> ask if she would support him if he wins the doomsdnominees, said, quote, i'm not ready to go there yet. after the report was published, mrs. was ready -- mrs. clinton was ready to go there saying the number-one priority is retiring trump. and, as i always have, i will do whatever i can to support our nominee. clinton and her supporters believe that sanders' refusal to drop out of the race and support her until the summer of 2016 helped donald trump win the presidency. sanders, meanwhile, is not commentsing on clinton's remarks -- commenting on clinton's remarks. he's focused on going forward and defeating the most dangerous president in american history. the tariff man is back. president trump renewing to put high tariffs on european cars. >> if we're unable to make a deal, we will have to do something because we've been treated very badly for many

years on trade. if they're fair we're not going to have a problem. >> at the same time, trump and french president macron have agreed to a temporary trade truce avoiding tariffs on french wine. trump this threatened a tariff on wine and champagne to punish them for digital services. he said there was a good discussion and the u.s. is very happy with the result. he did not get into other specifics. other products like hermes handbags and cheese, they were in line for new tariffs. wine really received most of the focus here. a 25% tariff remains in place due to a separate dispute due to airbus. a french official said the two sides will hold off on potential approves until the end of the year. a case that couldn't define the supreme court. this election year, it's off the docket at least for now. we'll tell you why next. most people think of verizon as a reliable phone company. but to businesses, we're a reliable partner.

this is the first time in history the president's own party is trying him on impeachment charges, and it shows. republican senators voting down 11 democratic amendments, mostly along straight party lines. in the end, the senate approved trial rules, but democrats have a steep mountain to climb to get the new witnesses and the documents that they want. >> joining us live from washington, cnn's zac wolf who writes our impeachment watch newsletter. a must-read for everyone. thank you so much for joining us this morning. the senate minority leader, chuck schumer, made a big deal over the past couple of days about the rules that mcconnell had proposed. she'd that they were unfair. he said this was going to drab into the night. it did drug into the night.

13 hours of debate. i want to get your thought whether you think democrats gained anything with all of that debate? they knew going into it they didn't have the votes to change the rules. >> yeah. i think what they did was, you know, coming out of the first day of these impeachment proceedings, the first serious day of this, they're able to drive home the idea that there's a cover-up. republicans essentially closed ranks to protect the president and the white house from having to show any information from the state department, from the white house, from the pentagon. and democrats were really able to illustrate i think the -- the fact that there's been no cooperation whatsoever with this inquiry and how little information it's actually based on. that will be, i think, a victory for them. to the extent that people are even paying attention what happens after midnight. you know, that's use the question.

how fixative these late high night session says are. >> the good part is what happened -- that's when it got heated. >> about 3.5 hours ago this whole thing ended. remarkable. the senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell, changed the impeachment rules in the end after a meeting with republican senators who were concerned. about were a little -- emproduce concern to him about the timing here. now the rules have changed a little bit. what does it give the democrats? do they gain anything really here? what does it say about i guess the thin margin in the senate for how much control mitch mcconnell has over the senators? >> yeah. a lot of people are making a big deal out of this. the fact there mcconnell feld this vote. they changed the rules at the last minute and handwrote in the margins of the rules what the new things were going to be. they didn't change that much. i take a different view, adding a day of debate is not going to

change too much. and adding all the house h evidence from from the house it's been going to do so much. what the republicans did is band together and reject new information coming. the record that we have is the roar we're still with at least for now -- at least for now. they could add witnesses later on. republicans seem united to me -- at least on the issue of, you know, not adding anything to it. zac, do you think that they were feeling any prern from the new polls -- pressure from the new polls? a cnn poll shows the overwhelming majority want to hear from witnesses at the trial, even a pluralality, 48% there, you did see, want to hear from the witnesses. do you think they heard that back home? will. >> i think it's clear people like susan collins, gardner, are feeling the pressure. clearly people want to hear from this trial they didn't vote, however, to add any witnesses.
