REP. PRAMILA JAYAPAL (D), WASHINGTON: And I think that what we have to do now, because we haven't done -- we haven't declared a formal impeachment inquiry, is the administration is continuing to use the argument that we don't have legislative authority over this information. Now these are spurious claims. We believe courts will see it in our favor.</s>BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN HOST: Can I -- I was to ask --</s>JAYAPAL: -- much longer process.</s>KEILAR: Does it feel futile as you're taking this approach without more abilities to get to the bottom of some of these things?</s>JAYAPAL: Well, it does feel frustrating to hear White House officials, lawyers, six lawyers, her personal lawyers, White House lawyers, continuing to object to the American people having transparency. That feels incredibly frustrating. However, and I do believe, as you said, that I and almost 70 of my colleagues now, most of us on the Judiciary Democrat side, have come out believing that the White House is forcing us to open a formal impeachment inquiry so we can get the facts and follow them to our conclusion and use our full powers as quickly as possible. This is a crisis. The Russians interfered in our elections. And the president is saying on national television that he's willing to take information if somebody offers it to him from a hostile foreign power. That is dangerous for all of us. And we need to resolve this immediately. That's why I believe and I have come out for an impeachment inquiry. I think it helps us get there quickest.</s>KEILAR: Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, thank you for being on.</s>JAYAPAL: Thank you, Brianna.</s>KEILAR: A courtroom stunner. A witness at a Navy SEAL murder trial says he was the one who killed an ISIS prisoner, not the man on trial. But why prosecutors say they still will not drop the case.
