i was on capitol hill 21 yea rs america. i was on capitol hill 21 years ago when we had the last impeachment and it was a lot more civil in the tone as well as the discourse. here, this is a tale of two cities, you have republican saying that the president has done nothing wrong and the democrats saying they are upholding the constitution and that no person is above the law. my specific thoughts, i think the record hurts very weak. i think the record hurts very weak. i think there is no specific evidence pro quo and for having an obstruction of congress, article of impeachment is laughable given that congress didn't exercise all their constitutional duties to compel and receive evidence so to end as it started, i think it is a sad day for us started, i think it is a sad day for us in america. a sad day in america or something thatjust had to happen? i think it is both. certainly a sombre day, the constitution puts impeachment in as the ultimate remedy when an elected official up to and including the president has abused his

i think the headline here julie to be really clear is history has just been made on capitol hill and this is a president who sees this as a stain on the legacy that he says he's been fighting for in terms of his agenda for the american people statement coming from the white house press secretary stephanie gresham just in the last few moments this desperate charade of an impeachment inquiry of the house judiciary committee has reached a shameful end the president looks forward to receiving in the senate the in the senate the fair treatment and due process which continues to be disgracefully denied to him by the house of course that coming in advance of the full house vote next week were we do expect that the president will be impeached along party lives but this is a white house in a fighting mood already we know there's been reporting that the president's close ally and personal friend as well as legal advisor rudolph giuliani who of course is own name has been brought up in this ukraine impeachment inquiry repeatedly for conducting shadow diplomacy outside of the regular channels al

castro joins us now live from capitol hill in washington d.c. where that debate is currently ongoing and taking place we've been hearing these impassioned arguments but ultimately it's been the same narrative that we've been hearing all along from both sides isn't it. that's right and the partisan arguments have fallen along exactly what we expect we've seen this already replayed multiple times of their last 2 months of the impeachment inquiry but i want to point out what the sole independent in the house of representatives has just said justin amash who is the only non the only member of the house who was not republican or democrat he just said that he is going to vote to impeach the president he said that this behavior this misconduct by trump is the very misconduct that the framers had envisioned to be remedied by an impeachment so words there from the sole independent voice in this chamber of congress now republicans of course have been vociferous in their defense of the president saying that this is all up hardison impeachment that democrat

limited to the let's go live now to capitol hill where lindsey graham is actually addressing the media let's listen then that would end it i thought it was over with take our cases to the american people but i was wrong so what happened in the house impeachment driven by partisans this is unique it's the 1st impeachment in modern times anyway driven by people within the body where there is no outside counsel with the agree with clint's impeachment or not spent several years looking allegations and made a report to congress detailing abuse by president clinton watergate prosecution was done outside of the political system and that's been missing here so i think this exercise in the house. is beginning to weaponize impeachment the intel committee could did the fact finding elements of it which is unusual the process they use i think is dangerous to the presidency is an institution when it gets here my goal is to have a short trial as possible where does that translate to when 51 people are ready to vote that's when we'll vote the most likely outcome is to use the trial record. what they

on capitol hill for us let's cross to our other correspondent in washington d.c. white house correspondent kimberly what has been the reaction so far from the republicans and the president. they've always maintained that the president has committed no wrongdoing essentially their strategy has been though to talk about process versus facts in many cases and when confronted with facts basically saying get over it the president for his part has also been in the last hour touting the successes of his presidency that he sees as a highlight in fact if we could throw up the graphic here to peach a president who has proven through results including producing perhaps the strongest economy in our country's history to have one of the most successful presidencies ever and most importantly who has done nothing wrong is sheer political madness so essentially the president does have a point in all of this he is presiding over the strongest economy in decades and also the irony in all of this is that on the same day that there's going to be this announcement of the potential char

that's right and it's notable from the historical context that what's happening today on capitol hill has only happened 2 other times in u.s. history for an impeachment process against a president to move this far and there's little that republicans on the house judiciary committee can really do about it of course democrats have the majority on this panel and already they have soundly rejected republican amendment to have struck and the 1st of those articles of impeachment abuse of power of course the 2 articles as being debated right now are abuse of power and obstruction of congress and what we're hearing from members now is a 2nd amendment offered by republicans this time trying to insert the name of joe biden's son hunter biden into the articles text that gives republicans at least for this moment a platform to again air those grievances that trump himself has said which are these unsubstantiated allegations that joe biden and his son were involved in corruption in ukraine again they're discussing this of men then now the democrats have the majority to quickly reject these amendme

jillian: griff jenkins has recovered on capitol hill. >> reporter: 4 hours now. the house chamber for the third time in history the house of representatives will have impeached a sitting us president and we have that rule we heard so much about yesterday, a closed rule meaning no amendments will be offered, allows six hours of debate equally divided between the two sides meaning it will go deep into the evening, 6:30 or 7:30 according to steny hoyer, two distinct votes, one for abuse of power and one for instruction of congress. before we got to this rule it was fireworks all day. >> was it appropriate for him to ask another country to investigate an american citizen? >> nothing wrong with the call. >> reporter: ahead of yesterday's vote on that rule donald trump sent a scathing 6 page letter to nancy pelosi calling today's impeachment and illegal partisan and attempted to described in the article as completely disingenuous, meritless and basis telling her it is a terrible thing you are doing but you have to live with it, not i. nancy pelosi to fellow lawmakers,
