take mitch mulvaney fames for going all mulvaney and retracting the omissions. today he had a lawsuit cooking he bailed on. but for a day he was attempting to join the bolton case and sue his own boss, president trump. so that's mulvaney jumping around. there are ereports president trump is shifting between relishing the fight and anger. anrgt new report has to do with the inspector genroom. a person the president normally wouldn't be aware of except this is the purseen who stood by the whistleblower. check out the "new york times" report. in recent weeks he has continued to raise this possibility of firing him with aid. now i just want to put very clear marker on this. the inspector general is it the one person in any agency who is literally -- their whole job is they're literally supposed to be the most independent officialx agree with them or not. it was the inspectorer general of the justice department who famously criticized publicly james come a efor breaking procedure with what everyone remembers. criticizing hillary clinton in the campaign. some saw that

clearly, the fact that we can't speak to mitch mulvaney, mr. bolton, we can't access even one specific piece of paper from the state department, let alone the file folders filled with documentation suggests to the american people and all of us that the president has something to hide. >> jackie speier, congresswoman speier, thanks for joining us. >> thank you, wolf. >>> we'll discuss as the democrats hone in on the president's inner circle. >>> plus a cnn exclusive. president trump's luxury hotel here in washington, d.c. is up for sale. the biggest selling point? something that the first family has denied profiting from. stay with us. our special coverage continues. hi, i'm joan lunden. when my mother began forgetting things, we didn't know where to turn for more information. that's why i recommend a free service called a place for mom. we have local senior living advisors who can answer your questions about dementia or memory care and, if necessary, help you find the right place for your mom or dad. we all want what's best for our parents, so

and central figure has been mulvaney. who said to put a freeze on ukraine aid, president has considered firing mulvaney over how he has handle the house impeachment probe but was talked down from that decision by senior aides because it would be risky. >> okay, do we hear correctly adam schiff at hearing said, i do not know the name of the whistleblower? did he say that. reporter: correct, he does not know the identity of the whistleblower, that is a huge point of contention, he did admit today he did block republican members from asking certain questions behind closed-doors, that is something that is come up today he did say he decided to block questions when he felt like republicans were trying to get at the identity or expose the identities of the whistleblower. that is when he stopped witnesses from responding to the republican member questions. elizabeth: and schiff not ready to drop articles of impeachment, thank you hillary vaughn. this is about what american people will think. remember nancy pelosi crossed her red
