say the house intelligence committee wants to do interviews, more insgraivestiga? what do you think? >> i'm amazing he hasn't recused himself. in the past we were dealing with chairman nunes, he showed up at a briefing for members of the leadership of congress and when andy mccabe and deputy attorney general rosenstein briefed congress on mueller being appointed and the expansion of the fbi's investigation. he showed up at the meeting even no he had recused himself. i don't understand how he thinks about these things. it didn't make a lot of sense. given the fact mr. parnas is under investigation, i would expect the southern district of new york will look at these phone calls to sorts out what they are. they are important leads especially something like an eight minute phone call with him. what's that all about? >> we'll see if he decides to cooperate, that could be significant as well. the chairman of the intelligence committee adam schiff says he's deeply concerned by all of this. listen to this. >> in terms of the ranking member, it won't surprise you i'm going

and yesterday a report released by the house intelligence committee said mr. trump used his power to pressure ukraine's president to investigate his political rivals. skyler henry is on capitol hill. what can we expect today? >> reporter: good morning. well, after weeks of testimony, the house intelligence committee voted to adopt the impeachment inquiry report late yesterday afternoon. now this process goes to the judiciary committee which traditionally is charged with drafting articles of impeachment. now the white house earlier this week despite an invitation declined to be at today's hearing. house democrats released a 300-page report detailing their findings in the impeachment pinquiry so far. >> this is about whether the american people have a right to expect that the president of the united states is going to act in their interests, with their security in mind and not for some illicit personal or political reason. >> reporter: covering two months of depositions and public hearings, the report says president trump used the power of his office to applying

and the white house is tearing into the report from democrats on the house intelligence committee calling it quote, the ramblings of a basement blogger, that is mild compared to president trump's description of adam schiff in the day as a redangered human being and deeply personal attacks came as the president was clashing with nato leaders and doing some clean-up here in london. in between meetings with the queen and nato president trump made it clear he has a royal in the form of house intelligence committee chairman adam schiff. >> i think adam schiff is a deranged human being. i think he grew up with a complex and i think he's a very sick man and he lies. >> reporter: in response to the report alleging the president abused the power of his office to pressure ukraine to investigate joe biden, the white house got personal as well saying in a statement, at the end of a one-sided sham process chairman schiff and the democrats failed to produce any evidence of wrongdoing by president trump. chairman schiff's report reads like the ramblings of a basement blogger. they will torment a democra

we have proceedings from the house intelligence committee. even intelligent overseers now are the center in the way that the intelligence agencies began earlier. in a way that was unprecedented. so we have a special focus this year on not just the intelligent agency the self but the messages in place to oversee them. one of the classic problems of intelligence surveillance is how to balance the need for operations that are secret. surveillance that is done publicly in surveillance. how do you balance the need to conduct certain kinds of operations information gathering in secret while at the same ti time, holding them accountable to the public? given the unfortunate history around the world but in our country as well. secret ceramic power being used in purposes. we have programs today that include a discussion with one of the most important bodies during the oversight. we'll have discussions on the renewed war, one of the mechanisms that text large scale collection. we will examine this morning some of what we have learned about compliance is

maggie, devin nunes, ranking republican on the house intelligence committee used to be chairman until the democrats took control of congress, in 2018, devin nunes is all over the report and not in his role at ranking republican on the committee. he's in there as, well -- >> we don't know. >> a lot of phone messages to giuliani. phone messages with giuliani's indicted friend lev parnas. >> and we don't know the duration of the calls. they're fairly short but raising questions the republican ranking member on the committee was having discussions with this witnesses about the facts democrats were saying were not real. >> and given how much of a stink was made about a supposed conversation between the whistle-blower and staff to the house intelligence committee, you know, they sort of have thrown that away if lev parnas is off talking to devin nunes repeatedly. >> they are suggesting it's all part of a disinformation campaign? call records show communications between conservative journalist john solomon, an opinion

what could draw the house committee, house intelligence committee, back into a more sort of bipartisan cooperative functioning? i'm always interested how, periodically check how do the committees which are themselves we should acknowledge, the committees are shrouded in a lot of secrecy. it's not just the intelligence agency but the committees are shrouded in secrecy, but how do they present themselves to the public. it's instructive to look at their website and when you go to the website of the house committee, you would barely know they are republicans but you can click on minority and then you go there and it's nunes and you wouldn't know much anything about schiff. their for nunes you can essentially conspiracy theories. anyway, a bit of a mess. well, with the senate committee, you know, you see both sides and you see more evidence of constructive functioning and cooperation that has to be i think attribute to senator burr, the chair, republican, and the ranking and the vice chair senator warner who is a democrat. but how will we move -- i think there's a difference. there's an old

member of the house intelligence committee are about to go behind closed doors to review the report that will be the basis for articles of impeachment against president trump. and now republicans have just put out their own report defending the president. >>> unfortunate, just two days before the first house judiciary committee hearing, jerry nadler laments the white house decision not to take part as the president and his lawyer blast the process as unfair and illegitimate. gop flip-flop. john kennedy reverses course again and resumes pushing a russian-backed conspiracy theory that ukraine interferes in the 2016 presidential campaign. >>> and done being quiet. former fbi lawyer lisa page breaks her silence in an explosive new interview and in response to president trump's repeated twitter attacks on her former lover. i'm wolf blitzer and you're in "the situation room." >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >>> we're following breaking news. a key new step toward impeachment. the house intelligence committee is about to conduct a closed-door review of the report on their hearings whic

committee we did learn a lot of interesting facts 3 house intelligence committee hearings when we had all of those people from the state department testifying and so we got the full picture of exactly what happened although i think that there 5 are still you know some some questions remain the senate intelligence i mean the house intelligence committee's report offered some interesting new facts very new telephone records that had been subpoenaed and they show interesting lee enough that the ranking member of the house intelligence committee devon nunez was speaking to the white house and rudolph giuliani and left parnassus the one of the ukrainians who is now been indicted in the southern district of new york and so there's questions about what representative nunez is involvement in this whole ukrainian debacle is and so we may still learn new facts in the coming days i think that the senate the house intelligence committee is still interested in putting out more information but i think it's going to be a dribble and i don't think in the end any new fact is going to change people's m

our top stories: in the us, the house intelligence committee releases its impeachment inquiry report, accusing president trump of putting his interests ahead of america's. he was willing to sacrifice the national security of the united states in order to get what he wanted. the two men who founded google, larry page and sergey brin, are stepping aside from running its parent company. the tech billionaire elon musk claims in court that he did not literally call a british cave diver a paedophile. and the winner is — all of them. all four artists shortlisted for the turner prize declare themselves a collective and the prestigious prize is shared between them. with president trump in london at an international summit, his opponents in washington have moved against him, with the next phase of the impeachment inquiry that has the potential to remove him from office. he has described it as an "unpatriotic witch—hunt", a "one—sided sham." but the latest report from the house of representatives, which is dominated by the democrats, claims there is "overwhelming" evidence that mr trump pl

intelligence committee chairman, adam schiff, to testify, the one who led the house intelligence committee investigation. should he? >> no, he should not. he's not a witness. all he did was carry out his responsibilities as chairman of the committee, gathering the information. the republicans did have an opportunity to bring their own witnesses to those two weeks of hearings. the fact of the matter is they didn't, probably because the president has continued to stonewall information that may have been exculpatory, was not available because the president wouldn't release any documents, and would not release any of the white house witnesses. why? probably because they had nothing to provide any exculpatory information to the committee. the republicans simply didn't bring a witness of their own to the hearing. >> the independent counsel, ken starr, who investigated bill clinton, that led to his impeachment, he was willing to testify before congress. the republicans say the guy who led the investigation into donald trump, adam schiff, he should testify as well. what do you say to that argument

speaker pelosi, the house intelligence committee, the house judiciary committee, are proceeding exactly how the riconstitution prescribes. the second, it is the height of hypocrisy, to criticize the house process for being is it too short and not including enough witnesses join the trump administration is the one blocking witnesses from testifying. yiwhat hypocrisy. how can the leader even see it with a straight face. will this to president trump, never cease. are they so afraid of him and his bullying, that they can the obvious truth and twist themselves and pretzel months. to make arguments that are so spread that it is the height of hypocrisy, to criticize theou house for not including enough opportunities in the president to make his defense join the president's refusing tofu participate. it is the height of hypocrisy, to see they were not enough witnesses join we don't hear people out of the republicans urging the president to allow the witnesses at the house that they wanted, to come forward. his hyperventilation, about the length of the house process in the number of witnesses is

you may come to remember the house intelligence committee this afternoon released its 300-page trump ukraine impeachment inquiry report as it calls itself laying out its case saying that president trump indeed conditioned official presidential acts involving ukraine on that country's leaders announcing investigations that would help president trump politically. any moment now we are expecting the chairman of the house intelligence committee, congressman adam schiff, to speak about what he clearly sees as two key potential articles of impeachment. one, the president's "overwhelming misconduct" in schiff's view and, two, unprecedented obstruction. we go right to cnn's manu raju on capitol hill. manu, what strikes you in this report? what do you think is most interesting or important? >> reporter: well, the democrats tried to lay out two cases. one, this conduct by this president laying out in detail what happened as the president was pushing a deal with ukraine policy, pushing for investigations into his political rivals the same time as that vital aid to ukraine was withheld, same tim

and i think what could draw the house committee, house intelligence committee back into a more sort of bipartisan, cooperative functioning. i'm always interested how -- periodically i check to see how the two committees, which are themselves, we should acknowledge, the committees are shrouded in a lot of secrecy. it's not just the intelligence agency, but necessarily the committees are shrouded in secrecy. how do they present themselves to the public. so it's instructive to look at their web site. and when you go to the web site of the house committee, you would barely know that there are republican. but you can click on minority and you can -- then you go there and it's nunez, and you wouldn't know much, anything about schiff. and then there from nunez you can hear, essentially, conspiracy theories. anyway, it's a bit of a mess. well, with the senate committee, you know, you see both sides, and you see more evidence of constructive functioning and cooperation. that has to be, i think, contribute to senator burr, the chair, republican, and the ranking and the vice chair, senator warner

the house intelligence committee will be voting to adopt the impeachment report. send it to the house judiciary committee, drafting official articles of impeachment, the indictment if you will. to put it in judicial terms. the evidence democrats have gathered and compiled in this report lays out a damning and clear-cut set of facts, about what they said happened. conclude that the impeachment inquiry has found that president trump personally and acting with agents in and outside of the u.s. government solicited the interference of a foreign government to, ukraine to benefit his re-election. and exercising his authority over the executive branch president trump ordered and implemented a campaign to conceal conduct from the public and frustrate the house of representatives impeachment inquiry. new revelations are including contact between rudy giuliani one of his indicted associates, the white house office of management and budget and the top republican on the house intelligence committee, devin nunes. basically, rudy giuliani's phone number is all over this report.

nunes the key republican in congress who ran the house intelligence committee hearings. and also ties rudy giuliani to some mysterious number listed only as one inside the phone records. all of these calls were made on key dates during the ukraine controversy. back with us, joe lockhart and jennifer rodgers. let's put up some of these dates. april 24th which is the day marie yovanovitch was recalled from njoku. that's not that date. but the 24th which is another date -- >> there were a flurry of phone calls. >> rudy giuliani talking to a number from omb. could that have been mick mulvaney? rudy giuliani talking to the white house six times. rudy giuliani talking to lev parnas, his associate who's been indicted. and this mysterious number one which we'll get to in a minute. as a legal matter here, jennifer, what do these phone records show you in. >> well, this was a conspiracy. all of these people who were doing this smear campaign on yovanovitch, withholding the aid, it was a bribery and extortion conspiracy. people who talk a lot during a conspiracy are often involved

. >> the new documents that have been released by the house intelligence committee, congressman, show your republican colleague, the house intelligence committee's ranking member devin nunes, was closer to the ukraine affair than he let on, and we now know, based on these documents that have been released, that there was a web of communications he had with the now-criminally indicted ukrainian american businessman lev parnas. so listen to what he said last night when asked about those phone calls. listen to this. >> it's possible, but i haven't gone through all my phone records. i don't really recall that name. i remember the name now because he's been indicted. i'll go back and check all my records but it seems very unlikely that i would be taking calls from random people. >> so what's your reaction to that, congressman. was it appropriate for congressman nunes to lead republicans in this inquiry in the intelligence committee when he was communicating directly with people being investigated in the inquiry? >> well, i don't find it the least bit remarkable that the ranking member of a

as serious as the house intelligence committee was both the questioner and the witness. and you go back and look at his questioning of marie yovanovitch and you realize a couple of days before she was recalled, he was on the phone with giuliani. he said this is effectively an hr issue, you know, this isn't about any plot and you really -- you didn't matter. you probably weren't doing your job was the implication, and we now realize that he may well have known a week or two ahead of time -- >> right. >> -- what was going to happen to her. it adds an incredibly disingenuous quality to his entirety of his behavior in the public hearings. >> thank you so much for joining me. >> thanks, chris. >>> coming up the impeachment moves to a new phase tomorrow. up next, congresswoman sheila jackson lee on what the intelligence committee reported earlier tonight and what we can expect from her judiciary hearing tomorrow. it's 5g ultra wideband-- --for massive capacity-- --and ultra-fast speeds. almost 2 gigs here in minneapolis. that's 25 times faster than today's network in new york
