Democrats make their case for impeachment

House Democrats tried to bolster their impeachment case against President Trump Friday during the testimony of former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch. Lawmakers said the president attempted to bribe Ukraine's leader to investigate his possible 2020 opponent Joe Biden. CBS News legal analyst Rikki Klieman, CBSN political contributor Molly Hooper, and professor at Loyola Law School Jessica Levinson joined CBSN to discuss the legal case Democrats must make to remove the president from office.
