  • Deflections, accusations, and muddying the water
    Another day, another step closer to impeachment as the House Judiciary Committee debated the specific charges formally cast against President Trump. Republicans tried to muddy the waters by bringing up allegations of corruption against the Bidens. Democrats, meanwhile, asked Republicans to disavow President Trump's behavior, if not the man himself. But President Trump and the GOP remain in lockstep, suggesting he'll inevitably be acquitted. Will the impeachment saga ultimately benefit him? CNN political director David Chalian dives into the latest developments with CNN producer & reporter Marshall Cohen and CNN political analyst April Ryan.

  • Impeachment is in the eye of the beholder
    President Trump claims he's not intimidated by the charges against him, calling them "impeachment-lite." But does the narrow scope of the impeachment articles unveiled yesterday give political cover to the thirty-one House Democrats from districts that Trump won in 2016? Plus, the intense partisan divide in Washington subsumes the Inspector General's report about the investigation into Trump's campaign. CNN political director David Chalian is joined by CNN senior Washington correspondent Joe Johns and CNN political commentator Alice Stewart. They compare and contrast the current impeachment saga with the Clinton proceedings twenty-one years ago.

  • The articles of impeachment have arrived
    For just the fourth time in American history, the President faces articles of impeachment.

But did they pull their punches in order to protect center-left members of their caucus in swing districts? Plus, did the FBI director undercut one of the GOP's main defenses of the President? CNN political director David Chalian unpacks a historic day with CNN reporter & producer Marshall Cohen and CNN legal analyst Shan Wu.

  • Did anyone win a day of political theater?
    In a rowdy televised hearing, Democrats laid out a detailed case against the President. They focused on four areas of misconduct including abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Republicans aggressively pushed back by attacking the investigators. Meanwhile, Senator Ted Cruz became the latest GOP official to promote the conspiracy theory that Ukraine meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. CNN political director David Chalian evaluates the strength of the Democrats' argument- and the GOP defense - with CNN senior writer Zach Wolf and CNN legal analyst Michael Zeldin.
