Hello everybody, I'm Chris Cuomo. Welcome to Primetime. We have breaking news on our watch.

Fears are being realized tonight. A modern day Friday night massacre by Donald Trump.

He's taking out his opponents as promised. Now you're going to hear from his side.

How do they justify with this president is doing? Can they offer a defense?

We have two GOP impeachment players here, plus a warning for Republicans who think that they are in the clear.

This revenge has just begun. So let's get after it.

The president told you that when he had a chance he would go after everybody he felt was against him.

And that doesn't mean enemies. That means people who were telling the truth.

People who had the faith in this country to stand up and take a stand.

Now they're going down one by one. Gordon Sunlin.

Remember him? Everyone was in the loop. A big donor to Trump, a personal friend out.

He was a big witness in the Trump impeachment trial.

He announced it himself in a statement tonight. This is what he said.

I was advised today that the president intends to recall me effectively,

effective immediately as the United States ambassador to the European Union.

One of his main donors, a friend of his, he didn't even talk to him directly.

It comes after another star impeachment was this witness, was apparently escorted out of the

White House. You remember him? Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vinman, the top Ukraine expert at the

National Security Council. He's been reassigned along with his brother who also worked at the NSC.

It's like a drug cartel Netflix series when not just coming for you, we're coming for you a family.

The brother goes to both Lieutenant Colonel Vinman and Sunlin testified against the president

under subpoena. That's why they're gone. Now you'll hear arguments tonight.
