0:00.0	Good evening. There's new reporting tonight on nearly every aspect of the impeachment inquiry,
0:05.2	including New CNN polling that shows a big shift on the question of impeachment itself.
0:09.6	It was done before a whole string of developments, including enough late to date of Philip Weeks'
0:14.0	worth of broadcasts. Just about 90 minutes ago, the intelligence community Inspector General
0:18.8	refuted a key Republican talking point on the whistleblower complaint, saying, yes, the
0:23.7	whistleblower had, quote, direct knowledge of certain alleged conduct. In other words,

1:11.4	the president pushed Australia's Prime Minister to help Attorney General William Barr
1:15.3	look into it. And that follows the news late today that the House Intelligence Committee
1:19.9	has just subpoenaed the president's TV lawyer in Ukraine Fixitman Rudy Giuliani.
1:24.4	For documents relating to his efforts to lean on Ukrainian officials on the president's behalf.
1:30.1	On top of that, there's what the president himself said about his desire to,
