Friday, October 18, 2019: Mulvaney Now Denies Quid Pro Quo After Admitting It

The White House Chief of Staff brazenly confirms a Ukraine quid pro quo -- a key piece of the Democrats' impeachment case. Then he says he didn't mean it.

Plus, the President says the deal the U.S. made with Turkey is a ceasefire, and is "great." But Turkey's foreign minister says it is not a cease fire at all, and the European Union says the President again sold out the Kurds.

And the simple truth is that the impeachment inquiry witnesses all served in the Trump administration. The President, though, calls it a conspiracy hatched by "crazy" Democrats.

Today's Panel: CNN's Nia-Malika Henderson, Julie Pace with the Associated Press, Carl Hulse with The New York Times, and Margaret Talev with Axios.
