Good evening. Thanks for joining us, America Hill. Anderson is off. And so is President

0:05.4

Trump, sort of. It seems there is no break for Mr. Trump's Twitter habit. Rage tweeting

0:10.6

about the impeachment process and how unfair he feels it is to him. And as he did, a small

0:16.0

hint of a narrow possibility began to emerge, a Senate trial that could be different from

0:22.2

what he and, frankly, many others are currently expecting. But first quickly, the state of

the hint of a possibility of something comes in. Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska

1:26.9

weighing in yesterday on what you just heard.

1:31.0

In fairness, when I heard that, I was disturbed. To me, it means that we have to take that

1:36.8

step back from being hand in glove with the defense. And so I heard what leader McConnell

1:49.4
