Congressman McCarthy calls impeachment inquiry results fruit of poisonous tree

A reporter asks House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California for his reaction to Democrats saying Republicans had demanded a vote on the impeachment inquiry underway but had moved the goalposts, McCarthy applauding the Speaker that the genie could not be put back in the bottle, due process must start in the beginning, in the legal term it would be a fruit from a poisonous tree, a mistrial as none of the information gathered would go forward, but most important to the American public was that all have the transcript of a phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukraine president where there was no quid pro quo, military aid was released, Ukraine did nothing and no action was taken, asking where was the crime or the impeachment or the impeachable offense.
