i'm erin burnett. out front tonight, the breaking news. damning new evidence that ties trump to the investigations into joe biden. this evidence is first hand. cnn has just obtained the opening statement. this is from david holmes, an aide to top ukrainian diplomat bill taylor. this is -- this is -- this is an incredible document, okay. holmes is telling lawmakers behind closed doors about a july lunch that he had with the ambassador of the european union gordon sondland and this lunch happened in kiev. it was at that lunch that sondeland announced he was going to call president trump, and then this is what happened according to holmes. so let me read this crucial part and we'll read as much of this as we can to you, but i want to read this part to you. he says i heard president trump then clarify that ambassador sondland was in ukraine. ambassador sondland replied, yes, he was in ukraine and went on to state that president zelensky, quote, loves your ass. i then heard president trump ask so he's going to do the investigation? ambassador s

and correspondent erin tilton is off the crime scene in dresden erin you know 1st of all tell us a little bit more about the investigation into this spectacular heist what's the way. well as you can see behind me the police cordon around the window that the thieves actually use to gain entrance to the building has been removed and we're also told that forensics teams at least for now have called off the hunt for clues within the building although that's likely to continue in the coming hours we know that right now that they're looking for d.n.a. and fiber evidence which might help the police actually besar ascertain the identity of the thieves who broken the building however that search is likely to be a long and difficult one a police spokesman recently said that the building plays host to some 10000 or several tens of thousands of people each and every day and looking for evidence of 2 men within that huge mass of information is like the proverbial hunt for a needle in a haystack we also know they're continuing to look at 2 small fires which are reported around. their own devices and at

let's go back to erin, who is -- are you on the scene yet? are you heading toward the scene, erin mclaughlin? >> i was just talking to a police officer there. i'm just passing the police cordon. they're trying to clear this area as best they can from people on the streets, as well as traffic. it's a very heavy populated area, of course, of london. london bridge is an iconic landmark within the city. it's very unusual to see anything like this take place in broad daylight. i'm currently looking at the police cordon. police officers are horseback. i see fire trucks and police vans. what we know in terms of what has unfolded here, we saw video posted to social media. one chilling video shows a scuffle on the ground that happened at the bridge area. a shot was fired, presumably by the police, who had their guns raised. and a man seemingly a passerby, just walking off with what appears to be the suspect's knife. police saying they responded to the incident at 1:58 in the afternoon. they've made one arrest. that there was a stabbing reported in the

>> hi, erin. first of all, let me say it's good to be back with you, and once again, i am very pleased that we have someone, miss williams who is likely to receive a lawful subpoena and actually respond to it as the law requires and as you already reported, we had some concerns she was on the call and she has first-half knowledge and has some concerns about what she heard on the call and we are just thankful that she is willing to come in and share those concerns with the intel committee. >> you heard testimony tomorrow and it would be behind closed doors and the public hearings are set to begin next week, congresswoman. you've been releasing transcripts from the closed-door hearings from the same witnesses and what do you expect will change by having them testify publicly with the transcript and the opening statements and the conversation about what they have to say has been out there. >> it has, but you know, we said from the very beginning that we wanted to do a very methodical, very thorough i

erin erin, the president was going to open an accord with the taliban a few months ago. they were invited to camp david. then that was, i guess, leaked or announced. it got a ton of backlash. it did not happen. where would things stand today if negotiations are actually reopened? >> that's right, katy. what i can tell you is that some of our state department sources on the ground in kabul said and told us as early as this morning that they were not anticipating this visit from president trump. and did not hear about it until very recently. it was sort of secretly held. no one was really briefed on it. but what i can tell you as of three months ago when those talks originally fell through, sources on the ground in kabul told us, you know, this is basically a washington game at this point. we're still in the field. we're still trying to figure out how to move forward with the conversations that were already ongoing for -- for years. right? and then about a month ago, in october, we were told that the special representative for negotiations in afghanistan was quote/unquote

>> sure, erin. it's significant because this briefing by the white house counsel and john eisenberg who is the main lawyer for the national security council took place at the end of august roughly two weeks before the freeze on that aid was lifted. so we know that the president was aware that there had been this whistle-blower complaint filed against him in connection with his actions regarding ukraine both in terms of this phone call that he had with president zelensky of ukraine on july 25th and the fact that the aid was frozen and those are the key details in the whistle-blower complaint and he was aware of it at the time when he reversed himself. >> and he was -- aware of the whistle-blower complaint and aware that they were trying to avoid this ever ending up with congress which, of course, it did, and then -- maggie, we know the time line here is two days after congress, and the president's aware congress is opening an investigation into what happened. that's when he finally releases the aid.

connell: do you like news on earnings, erin? what we've seen, we'll wait for big ones, eight out of 10 beating the street, something like that, right? >> when you look at it, pretty much in line with past four quarters. 3/4 of companies beat. we got 3% improvement. very much average. for me what i really like the expectations for 2020 have been remarkably stable. we're starting to see negative revisions for third quarter report. that makes me feel comfortable with the next 12 months. melissa: fighting to be king of the original content, netflix is betting on animation to take on disney in the streams wars but is that enough? we have erin and deion rabuin. not just animation. it is like an any may. my son used to talk about it and watch it. i had no what it was, i was terrified. netflix is beth big on it. what do you think? >> netflix needs to bet big on something. they will lose all disney content that they have got, maybe not all of it, but a lot as disney plus rolls out. they have to pivot, go to something new. they have the o

erin, what do you -- how do you digest that response? >> it's not all that shocking given what sort of analysts have said might be coming down the pipeline for people like gordon sondland and mick mulvaney and giuliani, caught up in the primt probe. it's interesting -- impeachment probe. it's interesting given the fact that gordon sondland, venture capitalist, donated a little over $1 million to the trump committee. with that kind of money, you gain a lot of access to those inaugural events. he even says in his testimony that he's spoken to the president several times about ukraine. so what we see here is president trump directly contradicting what sondland told house investigators last month when he testified. >> jonathan, going through all the transcripts that we've been talking about here, what do you need to hear out of these hearings as a reporter? what are you looking for as a journalist to really pursue the next texas in covering this? -- next step in covering this? >> i think what's interesting is if you go through the transcript

erin? >> kyung, thank you very much. look, this is obviously important from the perspective of independents and republicans, obviously, democrats, you know where they are. greg, one woman was moved to tears in kyung's piece saying she did not recognize the republican party anymore. you're a republican and former state senator. do you relate with voters and the gop? and that lady was moved to tears. >> that's why i was a republican elected official, but what i'm most surprised at is the number of republicans both in congress and just out there in the country who seem to be okay with not knowing all the facts, who seem to be okay with the president directing witnesses who clearly have information relevant to this inquiry directing them to not cooperate and testify. i respect everyone, every republican's decision potentially upon listening to the facts to decide it's not impeachable or the senate and it's not removable conduct and to not get the facts, that surprises me. >> a lot of independents were saying, look, i have ot

i'm erin burnett. out front tonight, silenced and breaking news, we are learning that president trump's top lawyer on the national security council tried to silence concerns about the president's call with the ukrainian president. a call that president trump even today still insists was perfect. >> i call it a perfect conversation because it was totally appropriate, very good and everybody is saying it. >> everyone wasn't, and isn't saying it according to a source, lieutenant alexander vindman testified that trump's lawyer told him to never discuss the details of trump's call with ukraine's president. john eisenberg, the lead counsel for the national security council instructed vindman to be silent after vindman went to eisenberg to report his concerns with trump's behavior on that call. this matters because eisenberg was in a position of great power. as the lead counsel on the national security council, he was on the receiving end of two complaints by vindman about the president's behavior on ukraine

>> i think it's very significant, erin. i'm surprised that she was allowed to testify being that she's a current employee, but she's a foreign service officer, as i understand it, detailed to the vice president's staff. >> it's the state department that enabled her. she did defy the white house obviously, but a state department employee. >> right. no surprise that a career professional like her, having heard the call would find it to be surprising and political and without putting words in her mouth, i assume she thought it was inappropriate and so the question remain, though, what did the vice president know? he may have been out of the loop and he apparently maintained that he didn't know about this and more interesting is that he maintained having seen the record of the call, he doesn't think there was a quid pro quo. doesn't think the president did anything wrong and that's hard to square with everyone else's observations and opinions about this call. >> elliott, one white house official called williams, jennifer willia

erin, let me start with you. last week all i'm reading about all of sudden mutual funds are diving into the market, heading out of cash, hedge funds changing their outlook, wall street says go into cyclical names. the economy is back, no talk of recession. i'm not sure why wall street had the epiphany so late but they're having it. >> we have all finally come to accept this is the tina environment. there is no alternative environment. that you should not be in cash. you should really be in u.s. stocks. it is your best bet particularly looking at 2020. i think wall street is really just waiting for confirmation of what we were expecting for 2020. with the q3 earnings, we got a better sense what was going on. so now we're reassured. we're all-in. between, you know, more stability outlook on fed rate cuts and earnings, this is going to look good. it looks good for the next 12 months. charles: brian, to that note, interesting that jay powell met with president trump and some key advisors. last week he was on capitol

here is kevin tibbles. >> reporter: their beat is the street chicago cops erin gubala and mike nowacki. nowacki, a s.w.a.t. team medic, was pounding the pavement in full gear in a 15-k charity run. >> it looks kind of heavy. >> how about 50 pounds >> reporter: he also had an engagement ring burning a hole in his pocket, because girlfriend officer gubala was on duty at the finish line. but something wasn't right. >> on the radio, i hear him call out 4650 adam, i'm administering cpr. >> reporter: the young woman had collapsed. her heart had stopped. so duty calls? >> yes >> yes >> as soon as i heard medic, i just went into medic mode. >> reporter: nowacki and a firefighter went to work, performing rive until an ambulance then after saving the life of one woman, nowacki finished the race, got down on one knee and asked another to spend the rest of her life with him. >> he pulls out this ring, and he says, erin i don't know what else to say, will you marry me of course i said yes >> reporter: a race run, a life saved, and the yes of a lifetime. >> i love you. >> i love you too. >> reporter

attorney erin nealy cox. >> one of the most disturbing things about this incident was the randomness of it and just the horrifying brazenness of it. >> reporter: fbi special agent chris thompson is with a special task force investigating crimes against children. >> less than 5% of the abductions tracked by the fbi nationally are true stranger abductions. he saw something that he wanted, executed on it, and unfortunately took the girl in plain sight. it seemed to escalate the level of concern that we had for the minor victim, that she may indeed be in grave danger and imminent danger. >> reporter: the girl's mom could give a rough description of the suspect but only a little about the car. >> what kind of vehicle were they in ma'am? >> a gray vehicle. do you remember what kind of vehicle it was? it is a gray vehicle. >> reporter: thankfully that doorbell cam provided clues to guide the manhunt. >> surprisingly, the ring doorbell video was the only piece of video. it was absolutely critical. it wasn't supposed to go off just from a passing car or from a person being observed in the str

and we can speak to you correspondent erin tilton he is at the crime scene in reston hi erin what is the latest you're hearing there on the investigation. so just a short while ago the police were able to actually confirm that the burned out car which was found yesterday shortly after the break in was in fact the getaway vehicle that 2 burglars used to escape from dress and green vault which you can see just behind me right now now the big question is how many times they change vehicles and if they actually then use a 2nd vehicle to leave the city that's the avenue of investigation the police are looking into right now now when it comes to the green vault right yes you can see right behind me you might be able to see that police are once again continuing their forensic investigation of the rooms itself they're looking for any d.n.a. or fiber evidence which could help them ascertain the identity of the 2 burglars who broke in here yesterday but as represent the police put it to me earlier it's kind of like looking for a needle in a haystack you have to remember the museum welcomes ten

erin, let me start with you. it is remarkable, in some ways we learn lots of new little bits of granular information every day, it seems every hour, and then also the big picture remains unchanged from the time that we got the phone call, which is what the plot was because it was happening there right in front of everyone. you've got new reporting on this infamous meeting at the white house where gordon sondland was essentially it sounds like just flat-out telling the ukrainians you have to give us these investigations or you don't get the aid. >> yeah. the meeting, as one source put it to us, sort of went off the rails as they put it. so as you remember, this july 10th meeting was sort of broken up into two separate parts. there was the first meeting that the ukrainians had with former national security advisor john bolton and then there's the second meeting that happens in the war room with sondland leads the ukrainians into this separate room and begins making all sorts of demands. the people we talked to said

erin? >> reporter: a device of sorts was found on the suspect's body, believed to be a hoax device at this point, and that presumably is the reason why they believe this was a terror-related incident. certainly treating it as much from the get-go. just an hour ago, really saw an overwhelming police response as they tried to clear this area. it remains cordoned off. we saw specialized police units with bomb sniffing dogs combing this entire area. the buildings you see behind me remain evacuated. you can see police cordon still in place. beyond that a number of police vehicles, a growing media pack here, media presence. this will truly shock londoners across the city and the country. it has been a while, after all, since a terror attack has taken place here in london. just recently a number of weeks ago, the home secretary taking the decision to reduce the threat level for london. there was a sense of ease here among londoners, given the events that have unfolded, given that press conference
