Washington is all about the impeachment hearings right now. There was a wild moment that played out last week as ousted ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch testified, she got to answer in real-time to Twitter attacks from the president. More testimony released from other officials also tie Trump to the delay in Ukraine finds. This week there will be eight people testifying across three days including Gordon Sondland, ambassador to the EU. Ginger Gibson, political reporter for Reuters, joins us for a breakdown of testimony so far.
