The public hearings in the Donald Trump impeachment inquiry began this week, with alarming testimony from career diplomats Marie Yovanovitch and William Taylor and more, regarding the president’s controversial communications with Ukraine’s president. Rep. Ted Lieu, Rep. Gregory Meeks, and presidential historian Jon Meacham join Joy Reid to discuss. Then: The debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine interfered in our election has been voiced by Donald Trump. Now more lawmakers in the Republican party, including those commenting on and participating in the public hearings in the impeachment inquiry of Donald Trump, are doing the same. Plus: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was once very reluctant on impeachment, but has now used the term ‘bribery’ to describe communications between Donald Trump and Ukraine’s president, in discussion of possible impeachable offenses.

Next: The Donald Trump impeachment inquiry continued full steam ahead on Saturday, with Mark Sandy, the first official from the White House Office of Management and Budget to defy the White House, testifying behind closed doors.
