I'm Wolf Blitzer here in the Situation Room.

You've been watching the president giving his first news conference

since the announcement of a formal impeachment inquiry against him here in

Washington.

Let's bring in our experts John King among others to discuss

uh... john you know where the president

i guess he leveled several distortions falsehoods

in the course of that forty forty five minutes yes he, he did about Joe Biden, about Hunter Biden,

about other facts around these investigations.

To the most interesting part to me, Wolf,

was how he did it.

This president can be, whether you agree or disagree with him, can be passionate, can be a good communicator, can be quite defiant.

That was a somber-sulking president.

If you need any proof that the last 24 hours in Washington, D.C.

have the president's attention and affecting the

president's mood watch that press conference.

Yes, he went after Adam Schiff, yes, he went after the Democrats, yes, he said the

leftist, the socialists and worse have taken over the Democratic Party,

but the way he said it with no energy and very little passion, sulking through it.

It's proof that we've had some giant changes.

Just consider what has happened in the last 24 hours.

Not just Nancy Pelosi, putting the words formal impeachment inquiry
