In his report, he says he found no basis for accusing President Trump of collusion with Russian Federation during his 2016 campaign.
In a day of bitter partisan skirmishing, President Trump's allies and his Democratic antagonists took to the nation's talk shows Sunday to present stridently opposing views of the impeachment inquiry that hit Washington last week like a tornado, sweeping almost all other priorities aside. Ukrainian president Zelensky has backed up Trump, saying there was no pressure, nor quid pro quo, to investigate Biden. "We condemn the President's attacks, and we invite our Republican counterparts to do the same because Congress must do all it can to protect this whistleblower, and all whistleblowers", they said.
Within two weeks, the scandal over his phone call to Ukraine has evolved from a process fight over a whistleblower complaint to an impeachment inquiry.
By all accounts, the Democratic impeachment effort was speeding ahead with a fair amount of coordination between Pelosi, Democratic messaging experts and its political operation.
US President Donald Trump has demanded to meet with the whistleblower who accused him of pressuring Kiev for political gain, as well as with the actual alleged source that passed the information presented in the Ukraine complaint.
Trump´s Republican aides have sought to turn the tables on Democrats pushing for his impeachment, insisting that the president was the true "whistleblower" as he had asked Ukraine to investigate Biden and his son for corruption.
The Intelligence Committee has reached an agreement to have the whistle-blower - who has not been identified publicly - testify before the panel in the near future, Schiff later told ABC television.
"I am guessing that any matter of impeachment will take us very close to the 2020 election anyways, and [McConnell] will likely say, 'Well, this is a matter for the people to decide, and if they feel that [Trump] should not return to office, then we have a mechanism for that, and that is the election, '" Neiheisel said. The White House did not provide an official response on whether the president would allow Giuliani to cooperate.
Eagles Beat Packers 34-27
It was a hard-hitting and controversial Thursday night game between the Packers and Eagles , and it was not limited to the field. Under young hot shot head coach Matt LaFleur , Green Bay was 3-0 riding the wave of the most improved defence of 2019.
"We are taking all the precautions we can to protect the whistleblower's identity", Schiff added.
The White House acknowledged on Friday that the Ukraine call was moved to a highly classified system at the direction of National Security Council lawyers.
"Don't make this any worse than it already is", she said. The Democrats' campaign arm swung behind lawmakers to support the impeachment drive as they run for reelection, according to another call participant to spoke on condition of anonymity.
"Democrats said the phone call amounted to a "shakedown" of a foreign leader, while Trump - backed by the vast majority of Republicans - dismissed it as a 'nothing call, ' " the AP reported.
Some House Democrats said articles of impeachment against Trump could move to the House floor as soon as next month. "There's not something that you have to defend here".
"I honestly believe this president has not gotten his pound of flesh yet from past grievances on the 2016 investigation", Bossert said.
The Biden campaign sent a letter Sunday to US TV networks to demanding they stop booking Giuliani for interviews, accusing him of "knowingly and willingly" lying.
