All right, thank you, Anderson. I am Chris Cuomo and welcome to Primetime.

Looks like a subpoena storm is about to head down Pennsylvania Avenue. What do you say? Let's get

after it. The White House is now officially stonewalling the impeachment inquiry. Several

Democratic sources tell CNN that means it is likely time to stop asking and start demanding

witnesses make their way to the hill that could include associates of Rudy Giuliani,

State Department officials, including the former Ukraine ambassador who was forced out. She's still

on the State Department's payroll that could get a little tricky. There could be pressure to stay

home just as Ambassador Sonland was ordered not to testify earlier this week. Meanwhile, for the

first time, former VP Joe Biden called for the president's impeachment did that today. Yet,

we're seeing rumblings from a small but influential group of Democrats who think it would make sense

for Speaker Pelosi to do what some Republicans want and hold a formal vote on the impeachment

inquiry to help defuse GOP claims of unfairness. And as for the president himself, he danced around

how much his people would comply, even if he got the vote.

We have a vote in the full house in the vote word authorized. Would you cooperate?

Well, we would if they give us our rights, it depends.

He also said he was going to testify no matter what and he couldn't wait for it, right?

So is it the right thing to do or not? It certainly isn't required in the Constitution and there are

no house rules that say that. And the idea of precedent, I don't know that it's there, but let's

discuss with a freshman Democratic Congresswoman, Alisa Slotkin. Now, she serves in a swing district.

She's got a really rich pedigree in the law and intelligence. She worked with the Pentagon,

Syria and the risks there. We must also address as well. But let's start with this instant issue of

whether or not to have a vote. Do you see it as a distraction or should it get some traction?
