allies and others, including china, russia, others, to do more. >> understood. the russia investigation. i have been hearing you this morning saying you are focused on other things, but it's a national security issue that which russia was doing to impede our election. it just is by definition. what do you feel about the implications of what russia did and do you endorse what the special counsel is doing? >> we developed a strategy for coping with russia and secretary tillerson is in the lead on this, and essentially what we have to do with russia is three things. we have to confront their destabilizing behavior. the president is going to meet with a nation under threat from russia, and this is a nuclear armed nation. we had the long cold war with the soviet union, and we want to detour other conflicts, and we have to make sure we keep that in mind as well. the third thing we want to do is find areas of cooperation where we can work together in our mutual interests. what we have seen in recent years is russia deflects anything they can to disrupt the interests of our allies and the unite

almost laughably false. >> colluding with russia is a story that does not ever go away. >>> hillary clinton totally denied this. total phony. >> this idea that it is a fake dossier, that's just not true. >> the uranium is sell to russia, that is watergate, modern age. >> of all the things we talked about, this has more teeth. this gives president trump the ability to muddy the waters on russia. >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. >> all right. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. this is your "new day". it's thursday, october 26th, 6:00 in new york. growing connections between possible connections between the trump campaign and wikileaks. sources tell cnn, a data analytics company working for the trump campaign did seek access to thousands of hillary clinton's e-mails she kept on this private serve isser while secretary on of state. meantime, president trump slaming hillary clinton and the democrats for denying that they knew of an effort to dig up dirt on him after it was revealed they helped fund this type of research. a source t

russia for supporting the regime. >> how many more children have to die for russia cares? >> president trump condemned the kremlin telling "the new york times" i think it is a very sad day for russia because they're in line. north korea's latest ballistic missl launch presents another major test for trump when he meets with the chinese president today. >> we have a big problem. we have somebody not doing the right thing. >> china's role certain to be a main point of conversation during the two day summit, which is president has acknowledged will be difficult, particularly after his routine criticism of china on the campaign trail. >> we can't continue to allow china to rape our country, and that's what we're doing. >> the visit of the chinese president means that the administration will have to turn the page quickly after the upheaval following the removal of the president's controversial aid, steve bannon from the principal committee of the national security council, which some are saying are a potential inflection point of this administration during the first 100 days.

call these notions a deflection with the ties to russia. the white house is attempting to move forward. expected to announce the president's new >> 46 days into donald trump's presidency cnn has it all covered for you starting with joe johns at the white house. >>> good morning, questions of credibility and justice in the oval office this morning. the former director of national intelligence and the current director of the fbi contradicting the sitting president of the united states who made a claim without providing evidence that the last president wiretapped him. >> the claim that former president obama ordered his phones to be wiretapped coming under fire. sources say the fbi is now asking the justice department to refute the allegations. such wiretapping of a u.s. citizen's phone would be illegal or require a court order. former director of national intelligence james clapper that spear headed the investigation into russia's meddling in the investigation giving a firm no to any such claim of wiretapping. >> for the part of the national security apparatus that i oversaw as dni there

with russia here, but it did target russian's client state there, which is syria and assad. one final note, one consequence of this, and this is a significant consequence, that russia says it is suspending what's known as a decon flix agreement with the u.s. there. this is keeping lines of communication open so u.s. military assets do not come into contact with russian military aircrafts. they are suspending it and it is potentially risky to get u.s. airplanes in close proximity to russian airplanes. >> jim, stick with us. you have two main angles of analysis here. was this the right move for the president? did he have the right to make this move legally? on the political side, the administration has made a huge pivot. they have gone have saying assad's future is up to the syrian people, that intervention is a bad move for the united states, they went from that and in 24 hours a missile strike. live in palm beach, florida, where the president is now in the midst of what was supposed to be the big international test, his meeting with the president of china. >> reporter: chris, th

however he wants. that may be the way it works in putin's russia and other places, that's not the way it works here. he is not above the law, he is not a king. he is a president in a constitutional system of government. >> congress adam schiff, ranking member of intel committee slamming him, no, you don't. you can do what you want with your golf courses but the country and justice department belong to the american people. "the washington post" says "new york times" interview is reminder that his time at march a lag oh is respite for him and headache for staff. as word trickled back to the white house, advisers worked to reach the president, interrupting to hand him a cell phone with white house communications director hope hicks on the line. we have more revelations from the interview. >> teeing up 2017. >> honor to have you at the course. >> the president hosting the coast guard near mar-a-lago. a day earlier he acknowledged he has been soft on china on trade, and that impromptu interview with "new york times." his administration hoping beijing will pressure north korea to end its nu

russia's agris i. behavior as he was about his concerns with this legislation. can comes as the president's approval numbers hit a new low and mounting credibility issues are straining his political capital. the white house conceding two phone calls the president recently touted never happened. >> specifically said he received a phone call from the president of mexico. >> they were actually -- direct conversations, not actual known calls. >> so he lied. >> i couldn't say it was a lie. that's pretty -- bold accusation. it's -- the conversations took place. they simply didn't take place over a phone call. he had them in person. >> >> reporter: as for the president's claim the boy scouts called to tell him last appearance was the greatest ever, the president secretary said this. >> the multiple members of the boy scout leadership following his speech there that day congratulated him, praised him and offered quite, um -- i'm looking for the word. le quite powerful compli emted. >>reporter: now the boy scouts have denied a phone call between members of their leadership congratulating

crime by failing to properly disclose payments from russia. this is a very busy day 97 of the trump presidency. let's begin with joe johns live at the white house. >> reporter: good morning, chris. deja vu on the battle between the courts and the white house. the president had a couple tweets this morning criticizing the federal courts as well as the ninth circuit. also talking about ridiculous rulings. he said i'll see you in the supreme court. >> the white house blasting a federal court ruling after a san francisco judge blocked the president's kbektive action that threatened to strip federal funding from so-called sanctuary cities citing trump's own words in the decision. >> i don't want to defund anybody. i want to give them the money they need to properly operate as a city or a state, and they're going to have sanctuary cities, we may have to do that. certainly, that would be a weapon. >> in a scathing statement, the white house calls judge william's ruling an overreach by a judge who unilaterally re-wrote immigration policies and had the blood of dead americans on their hands.

related to possible collusion with russia. and who would know more about any of the discussions that went on internally than the people who work for president trump he both on the campaign and also in the white house. reince priebus having been close to the campaign as orc chair map and someone who worked as chief of staff in the white house would certainly be in a position to help with potential information and may have an axe to tkpwraoeufpbd. if you're mueller, you want to see what you can get priebus to tell you. it could be the election or trump estates. a lot to look at there. no investigation will be full if mueller was not investigating people at the white house now or in the past. >> paul manafort seems to be in some legal trouble. mueller appears to be looking at financial reactions to manafort's work in ukraine around the time of the ukrainian election in 2010. we are hearing mueller is requesting documents related to this 2011 lawsuit in which manafort was kwaoufd accused of embezzling money and running through it real estate in new york. it appears this is not related to

think about. the iran nuclear deal. china, russia, what are we talking about? the berlin wall on the border and the president should be setting priorities. president bush with missile defense years ago and many transitions to terrorism. and we have a problem here of prioritization. one other problem in terms of flipping government on its head, he has to tell nato chill out the president maybe didn't really mean what he said. the cia director is saying not so fast. the entire government including the congress saying not so fast on russia. the president usually directs policy down. this is a reversal now you have the cabinet saying we're directly policy up, slow down. >> the prioritization might be that donald trump wants to start off by sending a signal not just to mexico but to the world that a new sheriff is in town and i hope that this is more a opening than a negotiation than it is an economic policy. >> what i'm talking about is the way that reagan fired the air traffic controllers the way he walked away when he didn't get the deal he wanted and i hope this is not indicative of h

. >> let's talk about russia for a second. >> sure. >> mark zuckerberg of facebook is addressing this head on and turning over documents to congress to show that russia did have the troll farms and had fake accounts and tried to gin up all sorts of outrage on facebook so he's going to comply and help try to shut all that down. the president tweeted this russia stuff is a hoax. where is the state department on this? >> the state department doesn't get involved in that particular issue, per se, but we will call out russia for its activities. >> the state department doesn't believe it's a hoax? >> what's a hoax? >> does not believe russian interference is a hoax. >> it's clear russia meddled in the campaign and election. nobody takes issue with that whatsoever -- >> the president does. >> nobody takes issue with that whatsoever. >> why is he calling it a hoax? >> i can't speak for the president on that, but the president has been clear about this in the past. i'm not certain which specific tweet you are talking about, but what they have done in meddling in the election is clear. we conti

relevant. you think go to russia. we don't know whether or not the trump campaign asked you to go, knew you were going, concerted action with you in going because you won't say so. it fuels speculation enough such that the doj went and got a warrant to surveil you. >> chris, i could talk for hours going through each of the falsehoods that were just outlined. and, again, you talk about being unwitting or not really understanding what's going on. i understand based on all the false evidence and the false narrative that's been out there. the reason why this is the current public perception, just read that book "shattered," about the losing campaign. page 395 talks about all the specifics. and that gives a lot of what the major drivers are. >> but there is nothing in there about targeting carter page unfairly. everything i said to you is a fact about who you talked to and how they found up being russian operatives and they say they were trying to work you. that was a basis of a lot of the speculation. we still wind up in the same place, which is people are asking you the same questions and inst

favor of the draft resolution -- >> reporter: winning support with russia and china on board to tighten economic screws on the kim jong-un regime. >> it will give the north korean leadership a taste of the deprivation it has inflicted on the north korean people. >> reporter: the price of provocation for testing of intercontinental ballistic missiles. the sanctions ban a range of exports from coal to seafood valued at $1 billion a year for north korea. and limits the regime's ability to send laborers abroad. >> time is short but today we have taken one step in the right direction. >> considered the toughest sanctions in a decade. >> the president has been clear he's not going to tolerate north korea being able to threaten the united states. >> meanwhile, the white house is a construction zone. long planned renovations and systems upgrades required the oval office and the president and his staff to leave for two weeks. >> reporter: the president's chief of staff john kelly is here along with other senior and national security advisor the 39 is expected to invite lawmakers to come

brokered by russia. i think it is still time for this administration to tell russia they need to get their client to stop dropping chemical bombing on people. if russia is unwilling to do it we have to find a way to ground that air force ourselves or working with the syrian people to ground that air force, but i don't think the world can sit idly by while this brutal dictator gases his own people. >> they put out a statement they will continue to bomb in support of the asad regime. your investigation, which hopefully will be a window into some of the truth there. castro came out, democrat, and said from what he's seen on your committee, he thinks people are going to go to jail. do you agree with that? >> you know, i'm not speculating about where we end up at the conclusion of our investigation. i think we're still in the very early stages. i think our obligation is to follow the evidence where it leads and let the consequences fall as they may depending on what we find. but we are still in the process of gathering documents. we are also agreeing to an initial round of witnesses that

version to deflect attention away from his administration's ties to russia. attempting to move forward by announcing that the president has the new travel ban order today. it's day 46 of the trump administration. cnn has all the angles covered for you starting with joe johns live at the white house. good morning. >> the white house facing an extremely tough sell on this story this morning. questions of credibility, questions of judgment, swirling around the white house and the oval office. among other things a former director of national intelligence and the sitting director of the fbi both contradicting the assertions of the president of the united states. >> president trump's unfounded claim that former president obama ordered his phones to be wiretapped coming under fire. sources say the fbi is now asking the justice department to publicly refute the allegations but so far the justice department remained silent. such wiretapping would be illegal or require a court order under the foreign intelligence surveillance act. >> the former director of national intelligence that spea

home cannot protect its interests abroad. >> the president did not specifically call o out russia's meddling in the election. >> it raises the question why he has this incredible aversion of criticizing putin publicly. >> this is "new day" with chris >>> we he want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. >>> the train that derailed in washington state was traveling 80 miles per hour in a 30-mile-per-hour zone when it left the tracks, according to investigators. three people were killed and more than 100 others injured. the technology meant to automatically slow down the train was not activated. as rescuers race d to the scene president trump politicized the tragedy, promoting his plan for infrastructure improvements. ten minutes later he tweeted condolences to the victims. >>> republican tax bill is expected to pass the house today before heading to the senate. it could be on the president's desk by tomorrow. a new cnn poll shows the plan is extremely unpopular with most americans. and there's new reporting on a win the president likes to talk about, appoin

russia, if it you don't get out of crimea or or else. is that ambassador speaking or behalf of the president. >> she speaking on behalf of the president. we have been clear we're not going to lift the sanctions until they exit crimea. >> do you expect additional sanctions? >> i think the president conversations with president putin. he will make it clear what his position is with respect to ukraine with respect to entire geopolitical landscape. i think respect to the sanctions that we're impose specifically because of the russia's, they will stay in place until they withdraw. >> having been in south korea and north korea is rattling with his nuclear weapons, during the can pain, donald trump said off the cuff by japan getting nuclear weapons. where does the president stand with the area in southeast asia. >> he understand how vital it is. secretary went over there to reaffirm our commitment to that area of the globe to making sure we understand we support them. whether south korea and making sure they understand that -- too reatirm our commitment to the japanese. it's an important

concerns me enough is not their technical achievements, but it's their defiance. they saw china and russia water that down and they are pretty confident, so they are going to say whatever they want and do whatever they want. this was extremely provocative arcing it over japan. >> david gregory, about donald trump's response. he seems to have tempered it since his fire and fury comments weeks ago. yesterday he gave a more measured responses, and i don't know if we have it, and we are working on different things, and i can't tell you what i am working on, but believe me the f people in this country will be very safe. what do you hear? >> i think president trump wants to work with china and south korea and japan on a couple of levels, to keep pushing for more measures to further inflict damage on the north korean economy, and pushing china in a position where it might be willing to do more, and maybe this is trying to give north korea a little bit of room to negotiate on some kind of freeze. now, you know, perhaps the north wants to exact certain concessions and keeps firing this missiles to

campaign and russia. >> john, this goes to the whole double standard. >> you're saying two things. you're saying coordination did happen, but the democrats did it, too, which is absolutely contradictory in and of itself, in and of itself. >> no, it's not. not at all. i'm saying, again, the broader picture here, and this is what the president was speaking to yesterday, is what many in the media and many on the left is keep this permanent cloud -- when i was saying a moment ago, i'm glad hilary brought up this point, they want to keep a permanent cloud over president trump trying to delegitimize his big victory this last november. they want to keep this cloud over his administration as he's trying to push forward with his objectives. look at the fact that we're talking about this right now and not talking about his trip to france. >> i'm glad you said that because i actually think -- >> jason, you made your point. >> i'm glad you said that, because i actually think it is so important that president trump and his allies are trying to take health care aware from 23 million people, tha

near daily basis in this administration. especially with regards to russia. the president thinks it's all a setup. that it's not a real thing. the he always believed that russia was not a real threat, that was arrogance and naive to just be uninformed. despite what was known before the election and what has been confirmed since. the president, now, has just cast all that aside. and sees all of that as part of an effort by some in the government or democrats to embarrass him. he doesn't think it's a really issue. and so you see then him deciding to treat this as a pr issue. saying there's nothing to conceal. nobody did anything wrong so we're going to fight. we're going to fight all comers and not going to treat the special council as legitimate or congressional inquiry as legitimate. there's evidence of that throughout including when it's so close to home where he's got his own son involved in a meeting with russians where he can be compromised, that is something he knew would be so debilitating because of the publicity it would generate, or worse, that he decides to get personally in

and russia. as recently as friday, russia's foreign minister said they are urging the u.s. to take the first step and try diplomacy with the north korea do you think that's too late now? >> i don't see that happening. i don't know how much they would have to talk about. also, president trump tweeted out just a few days ago that he doesn't think talking directly with north korea is worthwhile. if i remember it correctly, he said that the time for talking is not the answer, the u.s. has been talking to north korea for 25 years and paying them extortion money. so -- but there are talks under way and i think these talks are going to escalate, and they are with china and with russia. and i think china and russia want to be involved in this diplomatic process. they want to prevent an escalation and prevent a nuclear war potentially on the korean peninsula and they have their own long-term goals, both russia and china would like to see the u.s. have a i did mirned role, particularly military, in northeast asia and they might be able to see this as an opportunity to extract concessions fro

slamming his predecessor, dismissing u.s. intelligence, and questioning whether russia alone meddled in the u.s. election. saying others may have known, his quote. >> after a meeting with poland's leader, president trump continuing his attacks on the media and responding to the escalation from north korea. the president facing serious foreign policy tests on this overseas trip. on several fronts. in about one hour he will deliver a speech to the polish people. you will see that live on "new day." we've t covered this morning. let's begin with sara murray live in warsaw where the president is about to give that speech. sara, what did you make of the press conference? >> reporter: pretty remarkable comments from president trump in his press conference today alongside the polish president. one of the things that's sure to raise eyebrows is president trump questioning whether it was just russia that was behind hacking in the 2016 election and blaming his predecessor, barack obama. >> i think it could very well have been russia, but it could have been other countries. i won't be specific. i

russia to russian contacts were corroborated by intercepted communications. now we know that it wasn't just russians talking to russians but trump campaign people talking to russians. not just here and there occasionally but repeatedly, constantly and at a high level. if that happened in any other year but 2016 you might begin to think you could forget about it but it happened in the midst of an unprecedented russian interference in the u.s. presidential election. this is happening in real time and the trump campaign is talking to russia. we don't know if there was a conclusion but even if there wasn't that's a strange time for a u.s. presidential campaign to be speaking to officials and others with an adversarial foreign government. >> and the contrast is also as news worthy as anything here because all of this is being said. cnn is not the only ones reporting it and paul manafort says this season true. at least about me. i didn't talk to any russians and you have sean spicer that yesterday said i don't know of anything that would make me think we had any exchange and then this from m

he going to stand up to the top spy in russia? >> he has to be strong. we do have to talk about russia's involvement in our democracy. >> nobody really knows. nobody really knows for sure. >> this was an aggressive action taken by the senior leadership inside of russia. >> the russian spies are ramp rg up their intelligence gathering efforts in the united states. >> not at all surprised the election hack caused no response from the united states president. >> as long as we don't push back with russians, they're going to continue. >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo and allison camarata. >> good morning, allison is off, poppy harlow joins me. we have a lot of anticipation building at the g-20 summit in hamburg, germany. in just a few hours, president trump and russia's vladimir putin will sit down for a face-to-face meeting. will russia's election meddling be part of their discussion? >> this meeting happens as current and former u.s. intelligence sources tell cnn that since the election, russian spies have stepped up their intelligence gathering efforts in america. officials s

and risks it creates. let's not be diverted from the russia investigation from it. an attack on our electoral system and who was behind that and issues of north korea which probably in the administration presents the greatest risk of awful conflagration. let's focus on the big things. >> nick kristof, thank you. we are following obviously all of the breaking news. let's get the latest. >> this is cnn breaking news. >> we welcome viewers in the united states and around the world. this is "new day." we do have breaking news. president trump ordering military strikes in syria. the u.s. firing 59 cruise missiles at a syrian air base. the strikes in retaliation for president assad's chemical weapons attack on his own people that killed dozens. including children. >> the latest from the u.s. military. they say they hit their target. the base, they believe, was used by syria to launch war planes and carry out the deadly chemical attack. russian officials will bolster air defenses in syria adding that the risk of a collision with the u.s. could not be higher. this is a stunning reversal for

a candidate. so we will wait to see how it goes down in europe. i think about russia he said the sort of pat things that people expect. we're going to tell him to stop interfering in ukraine and other places. we're going to tell him to stop supporting hostile regimes, he said like syria and also iran. but he did place valencia this is important because nearly a decade before going down, an electrician in poland started solidarity and with john paul ii started the collapse of the soviet empire. that's his contribution to history and if he was to meet with president trump, which would be a great thing, tell him a few things about how to deal with the soviet mindset, because that is what putin has, the soviet mindset. and i think that would be really, really important. on kapurnikis, he was the one hundreds of years ago confirmed that planets revolve around the sun, not the earth. well, today donald trump is being criticized in europe and around the world for basically denying climate science, pulling the united states out of the paris accords. there is a huge building there in wars

russia. >> the regime issued a defiant statement denouncing the new u.n. sanctions as quote a heinous u.s. plot. >> adding it will launch thousands fold revenge against the united states. >> single largest economic sanctions package ever levelled against the north korean regime. >> the best signal that north korea can give us they are prepared to talk would be to stop the missile launches. >> can we get in the mind of kim jong-un for a moment? this is the brattiest of boys on the planet and those nuclear -- those missiles are his toys. >> we should not fool ourselves into thinking we have solved the problem. not even close. >> the weekend bombing at a mosque near minneapolis. >> he says he would have been in his office at the time of the explosion but thankfully was running late. >> i wish i could tell you this is some isolated thing, but we have seen an uptick in anti muslim hate crimes. >> officials are trying to sort out whether or not it was a hate crime. >> an act of terrorism. criminal act of terrorism. >> we provide you the news of the week from trump tower here in new york. >> the

administration is holding up tough new sanctions on russia. we have it all covered. let's begin with shimon. what do we know? what matters here. >> well, chris, we have here where the head of cambridge analytica, a data firm hired by the trump campaign, contacted wikileaks founder julian assange, to see if he had e-mails connected to the clinton campaign. assange confirmed on twitter that the chief executive, the head guy of this guy, reached out but said the request was rejectd. he then sent an e-mail to several people including top trump donor rebecca mercer, revealing he mailed assange. no one from the trump campaign. you'll recall wikileaks was responsible for releasing hacked he mails from the dnc that u.s. intelligence said were stoned by russia and handed over through an intermediary. the trump campaign has responded to the report by distancing themselves from cambridge analytics stating once president trump secured the nomination in 2016, one of the most important decisions we made was to partner with the republican national committee on data analytics. we as a campaign made

russia sanctions bill. back to you. >> sara, thank you for setting that up. let's bring in our political panel, cnn political commentator errol louis, cnn political analysts john avlon and david drucker all in the house. a fun morning for us. let's start with you, errol. general john kelly, what is likely to change with him as chief of staff? >> probably not as much as people would think. the reality is if you already have general kelly. >> john: mcmaster, general mattis at high levels of the administration, they haven't exercised any restraint people can see. people shouldn't think that having a high ranking general walking into the white house, anything is going to change. he's going to get an education, he general kelly is going to get an education. he's spent the last couple decades stand up and salute him when he walks in the room. that ain't going to happen anymore. he's going to be a little surprised how people are inclined to, from white house parlance leak, from our point of view, conduct a public dialogue, have discussions with the public and the press. i don't think

that entities in russia behind this particular hacking campaign. >> hillary clinton was viewed by a majority of americans as unlikable. it has nothing to do with moscow. >> over the weekend, trump tweeting having a good relationship with russia is a good thing. not a bad thing. only stupid people or fools would think that it is bad when i am president russia will respect us far more than they do now. both countries work together to solve the many, great and pressing problems and issue of the world. for months trump has cast doubts about u.s. intelligence as russia was trying to interfere with the election. >> could be somebody else. >> could be russia or china and somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds. >> trump's skepticism dividing his own party. >> if after having been briefed by intelligence leaders donald trump is still unsure as to what the russians did that would still be incredibly unnerving to me because the evidence is overwhelming. >> he did not doubt the claim that vladimir putin posed to the united states. >> i don't think i underestimated him. if we get t

escalating threats from north korea, but also the u.s. relationship with russia. we're still waiting to hear when president trump will sign the sanctions bill against russia. back to you guys. >> sara, thank you for that. let's bring in our political panel. we have white house correspondent for bloomberg news margaret tall leave and john avlon and alex burns. alex, i want to start with you because you had a comprehensive article over the weekend in "the new york times" about how frustrated republicans have grown with the disarray and chaos in the white house. are these republicans like john kasich who never had much faith or are these loyalists who are starting to turn? >> it's pretty much everybody, alisyn. what you're hearing from trump loyalists not anger at the president, but everybody else. it includes republicans on the hill and in the white house who are close to the president but not the president himself. it's a new phase of the way republicans in the grassroots and at the leadership level across the country are thinking. >> why aren't they? >> they see him as a newcomer to was

a million questions about russia and the things he has said about the investigation into meddling. so there's a lot of questions there. >> let's talk about russia. >> it wasn't intentional. >> i just happened to notice. the president made a phone call to vladimir putin, not to chastise him or talk about sanctions or tell him that meddling is not nonsense but to thank him for complimenting president trump and the economy. >> so people on who think -- there was a report said said he gets comments on his tweets. a day earlier he said the markets are doing well. that is the president's own statement, the u.s. president's statement all the time. he tweets about it all the time. he doesn't seem to be getting enough credit. this one is not a hard one to figure out. he is clearly working the donald trump playbook. even people who made neutral observations about the president of the years that were not intended as flattering, the president sometimes hears it that way. how many of us have seen a story and said, hey, thanks for saying that. when your goal in saying that had nothing to do wit

hacking. he promised to reveal inside information on russia's alleged cyber meddling today and tomorrow. >> it can come in a tweet, in a press conference, in a statement. >> and speaking of press conferences, there is now a new date for a potential press conference after that original one was delayed in mid december. kellyanne conway says that donald trump will potentially speak to reporters on january 11th about how he will handle his business ventures once he enters the white house. notably, january 11th, the day after president obama plans to give his farewell address in chicago. >> it will be a busy week. thank you very much for the reporting. >>> u.s. intelligence officials offering new evidence that they say directly ties russia to the cyber attacks during the u.s. prel election, they say they found digital fingerprints that point directly to moscow being directly behind the intrusions. the new comes as a top trump adviser disagrees with mr. trump on whether russia was involved. cnn pentagon correspondent barbara starr is live with more. what have you learned? >> highly t

counsel robert mueller will be fair to him. but he says the russia investigation makes the u.s. look very bad. this was an impromptu interview. he insisted 16 separate times there was no collusion between his campaign and russia. >> as scrutiny intensifies, president trump says he has an absolute right to do whatever epbts with the justice department. and he reveals why he has been soft on china hours after accusing beijing of secretly shipping oil to north korea. >> let's discuss with one of the writers for the "new york times" story, michael sheer, a cnn political analyst. good morning, michael. >> good morning. thanks for having me, guys. >> thanks for being here to explain this article. it was very revealing. it was impromptu in the dining room of his golf club after perhaps a round of golf. and he was feeling relaxed and just sort of pontifficating or answering questions. >> it was a remarkable interview. ckudos to my colleague michael schmidt who went down to florida and managed to get that interview, something most presidents wouldn't grant ever. he has a habit of doing this d

. >> we begin with several developments in the russia investigation. despite repeated comes from the president and the white house, we have concrete evidence that mr. trump was personally told about ties between one of his campaign advisers and russia. former trump national security adviser j.d. gordon was at this meeting in march 2016 where george pap were tkop louse made h papadopoulos and made his pitch. sources tell cnn mueller is reaching trump's inner circle and could be building a case against obstruction of justice for firing james comey. >> serious questions about attorney general jeff sessions, his memory and repeated lack thereof. this after carter or page, he testified to a house panel that he told sessions he was traveling to russia during the campaign. remember, sessions was also in the room with papadopoulos when he made his russia pitch. he said as recently as a week and a half ago that he was not aware of any conversations between the trump campaign and russia. democrats say they want to know more about what's going on here. all of this is happening as the president

flynn who did have his conversation surveilled with russia and the contents of the conversation was released. i brought this up before. a former congressman that got approval to have a conversation in syria and he was doing research on whether we should be going -- he's a political guy. should be engaging with libya and wanted research on what we should do. his conversation was surveilled and the contents of his conversation was released. i have a concern about what are intelligence communities doing with surveillance of americans and releasing that information publicly. that's absolutely wrong. that's a little bit different than donald trump. >> a little bit different. >> making a claim that he is surveilled. >> it's a little bit different. >> a little bit different than him saying donald trump wiretapped the tower. it's a little different. >> no it is different but my point is general flynn that was on the trump team was surveilled. >> you have to be careful. he was not wiretapped. there was no warrant out looking for flynn to our knowledge and the knowledge of all proof provided

with the russian president after all of the allegations of russia meddling into the u.s. election. walk me through what you are looking at and the significance of this meeting today and all of the optics around it. >> well, the protests are fascinating. there are always protests at the g 20, but i think trump took them to a bigger, huger level. the more important thing is what is happening in the meetings. this is his first time on a global stage. he conceded american relationship on trade. the climate deal, we don't really have a sensible policy with syria, and the g 20 wants america to lead. they do not want to see american leadership to russia and china. so tomorrow's meeting will be a lot more important than what is going on outside of these streets with hamburg. >> this is a day after angela merkel said she does not believe that the u.s. is leading any more. when he was asked about the leader there, he said that russia did interfere in our election, to agree with what all of his agencies have said and he said they probably did, but maybe they did not, and he also went further
