that comment, he said this was a personal payment, this was not a campaign expenditure. >> happen within days and weeks of the election. thanks so much. thanks to you for joining us tonight. ac 360 starts right now. >> good evening, for more than a year, the president of the united states has claimed the russia story is a hoax. and now a stunning indictment saying it is not. no matter what the president has been saying again and again. >> the russia story is a total fabr fabrication. just an excuse for the greatest lost in history in american policy. >> it is a made up story. >> the entire thing has been a made up story. >> russia is a ruse.

>> for 11 months this phony cloud over this administration, over our government. a democrat hoax that was brought up in losing the election that frankly the democrats should have won because they have a tremendous advantage in the electoral college. >> the president's case that it is a witch hunt has gotten weaker. now, we should say that indictments are not convictions and allegations are not proof. that said, they do pack quite a punch. they hit on a day that saw another mistress come to light. a day that ends with the president visiting survivors and first responders. news day dominating the indictment. the indictment named 13 russians

for meddling in the election. alleging they communicated one witting people tried to the trump campaign. jessica schneider will get into more detail shortly. here is the nub. putin's chef using an online organization operating out of st. petersburg russia. defendant organization had a strategic goal to so disskort in the u.s. political system. defends posted derogatory information about a number of candidates and by early to mid-2016, defts operations included supporting the presidential campaign of then-candidate don't j. trump. and disparaging hillary clinton.

here is attorney general rod rosenstein. >> such as facebook, instagram and twitter making it appear that those accounts were controlled by persons located in the united states. they used stolen or fictitious american identities, fraudulent accounts. and posing as socially active americans. they established social media pages and groups to communicate one witting americans. they also purchased political advertisements on social media networks. the russias also recruited and paid real americans to engage and political activities, promote political campaigns. >> in other words, not a hoax.

a short time later, the president tweeted. russia started their anti-u.s. campaign in 2014. long before i announced i would run for the election. the results of the election were not impacted. the trurch campaign did nothing wrong. quote we must unite as americans to protect our integrity of our dem crassy and our elections. -- which only further to serve the agenda of bad actors like russia and do nothing to protect the principles of our institutions. calling light to the meddling is the problem. going by the president's statement, even saying that it happened damages the institutions we should be

protecting. keeping them honest, actually stopping the next attack does not seem to be a priority. listen to christopher wray just three days ago. >> take specific actions to confront and blunt russian activities that are ongoing. >> we are taking a lot of specific efforts to blunt. >> directed by the president? >> not as specifically directed by the president. >> so according to the president trump's hand picked fbi director the president has issued no specific orders. it would seem as if the president is focused on something bigger. himself perhaps. take a look at the tweet the president first sent. the results of the election were not impacted. the trump campaign did nothing wrong.

no collusion. only the first part is factually correct. the strategic goal was to show disskort. not just help candidate trump. so when it began, it doesn't prove anything. as for the claim the indictments of the election were not impacted that is completely false. >> indictment speak one way or another to collusion. >> no allegation in this indictment that any american had any knowledge. >> no allegation in this indictment. the deputy attorney general used that phrase or variations of it number of times suggesting there may be other indictments of other people in this matter. quoting from page 2. from in or around 2014 to the present. defendants knowingly or

intentionally conspired with another to persons knowingly or unknowingly. including the presidential election of 2016. with persons known and unknown to the grand jury. perhaps that most damning indictment. this indictment only addresses one aspect of the russia affair. the social media influence operation. not the hacking of the dnc or leaking of dirt about podesta and clinton. not the meeting nor jared kushner or manafort's reole to

it. nor what manafort deputy gates would say he consume mates a deal with the special counsel. today's indictments say nothing about that. they only add to a body of evidence that whatever else this investigation adds up to, it is certainly not over. certainly clears no one, least of all the president and it certainly is no hoax. joining us now is jessica schneider. walk us through exactly what is in this indictment. >> this is a 37 page exhaustive examination of how 13 russia nationals orchestrated quote informational warfare. these russians went to great lengths. they started this probation back in 2014 and several of them at that point even traveled here to the united states. they posed as americans as well

as u.s. social activist and talked to people here and learned from that that they should focus their efforts in purple states like colorado, virginia. hash tags and even wired money on several occasions to grass root political groups who were holding events right here in the u.s. this operation spanned years and hundreds of employees in russia. they even worked shifts that coordinated their time zones. the budget organization totalled millions of dollars each year. the indictment even says they reached out to trump campaign officials via e-mail on at least three occasions. the deputy attorney general said any american is a knowing

participant. >> what does this mean for mueller's larger investigation? >> this is the first time that the special counsel has laid out of this out in detail. how the russians interfered in the election. that was part of the probe. to look into russian meddling. up to this point and especially today, mueller's team has been systematic. this indictment was 37 pages. it shows how intricate their investigation has been. and how many detailed facts they uncovered here. so it begs the question how much more of this is yet to come. >> yeah. for all of that talk about this being close to the end of the mueller investigation, you know, we were told that around thanks giving, maybe around new year's,

more to come. >> a lot of detail. how the russians were intrick cattily involved. they reached out to campaign officials and again, the indictment saying nothing about americans knowing about any of this, knowing they were targeted. mueller has been systematic about this and we have been surprised at every turn here and could be a lot more here. >> jessica schneider, thank you very much. let's go to jeff zeleny. >> reporter: he did indeed, and when you take stock of everything that happened this week, this meeting is unlike many other. the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein who has been in the cross hairs of this president because he oversees this investigation, for all intents and purposes he is the attorney general in this case. the leader of the special counsel investigating this whole

russian meddling case. he was side by side, face to face with the president in the oval office. we saw the president interpret as he would like. we saw the president saying there is no collusion here. he said that on social media in the statement from the white house. the president has not yet talked about. this he ignored questions as he left the white house and flew down here in florida where he is spending a three-day holiday weekend. and that meeting still leaves questions open. does the president still want to dismiss rod rosenstein. does he still want to get rid of him? that is one of the most tense relationships in washington here. and even though the briefing happened at the white house there is no sense of what is next here. this is just the beginning of this. the beginning of the public indictment here far from the end. >> also, jeff, let's be real

about this. the president's reaction was that it was all about him. the reality is according to these indictments, this was an act of war essentially. informational warfare launched against the united states starting in 2014 incredibly successfully and will continue in the next election and we heard nothing from the president of the united states about what the heck he is actually doing about it. it was all about him and no collusion. it said nothing about how america is going to defend itself and what he is doing. >> reporter: it didn't, and it also striking the president, the president said it started in 2014. so acknowledging for the first time this is a problem. which is something that the president has rarely done. he has placed blame and hacking and meddling on a variety of other places. i remember being in vietnam last november when the president met with vladimir putin and said he

believ believes his denial. the united states department of justice believe they can stand trial on that they do not believe what the president is saying. the president did not talk about the greater election system here. but since he did talk about his case, let's point out something else he did not say. he said no collusion. no mention of obstruction of justice. that is central part of this investigation going forward. did the president of the united states, donald trump obstruct justice in the firing of fbi director james comey. that is yet to be determined by the special counsel. this is the first of many here. the white house, you know, again, hoping this goes away. it won't go away. this coming on the same week, anderson, that all members of

the intelligence committee, sat in a row and said yes, we believe russia meddled in the election. the president is one of the only leading politicians in washington that has yet to acknowledge that. >> we should point out in the vietnam trip, the president asked putin. and putin said he did not meddle. he later backtracked on that because there was such an uproar. he said i go along with the intelligence committee. >> bringing in carrie cordero. and white house correspondent maggie he ha maggie haberman. >> for me, someone who is

covering this story and covering this case is the work that went into this. the penetration that the fbi and our intelligence partners were able to successfully penetrated this entire operation. they knew everything they were doing and so detailed and so specific in this indictment. and it takes a lot for the fbi and the department of justice to reveal these kinds of details because it gives away what they know. >> it sounds like cyber communications. they were in there. >> they were in there. they were reading their e-mails. they knew where they were located in this town in st. petersburg. it is stunning and the level of detail that went into this piece of document. it is rare and it is rare for the u.s. government to allow this kind of information to be

made public. >> i think the key of this indictment is the word conspiracy. what the indictment lays out is there was an organized conspiracy amongst an organization with the knowledge of the russia government because this could have never happened without their knowledge. it was strategic. it involved identity fraud, financial fraud. this was organized and it was a strategic effort to influence the u.s. democratic problem. this was a national security threat that was directed at the american people and it is ongoing as we have learned from other -- >> and cheap and successful. matthew? >> so the genius of this type of operation anderson, which is not unlike what the russians are doing in syria, what they are doing in eastern ukraine is that it doesn't have the external

market. there are no patches on arms, no official uniforms. the foreign ministry repeated the world absurd. it is absurd. and yet it has all the hallmarks of a russian intelligence operation who mission we could speculate about, but certainly to cause chaos. and maybe it was this idea of revenge for what they believed the united states has done to them in their election. and yet it still maintains this veneer of deniability. >> maggie, what stands out to you? >> i agree with everything that has been said. particularly about the level of detail which is striking and rare for this kind of indictment. i am struck by the fact that we cannot see what the team is

doing. and this is a reminder while they feel, you know, at the moment or at least saying they feel vindicated that this bolsters their argument, we don't know what is yet to come. no idea how many other pieces there are of this. the other aspect is the degree to which the messaging that this russia allegedly, russian funded operation engaged in in terms of political tactics and targets. bo bolster people like jill stein. it was striking to read it. >> even bernie sanders which is something that we heard the trump campaign, donald trump talking about. maggie, you know the president's tweets very well. you saw the president's tweet today pinning his push back.

but again, it maybe you have seen that tweet seems normal to people at this point. but in any administration in which the department of justice had just announced this detailed massive attack on u.s. democracy that the president made it all about himself and nothing about defending the country seems, i mean, in a normal administration that would be extraordinary. >> this is not normal. and this is not a normal statement and what he is doing again is conflating himself with the institutions that he represents and serves. he doesn't see it as serving. he sees it in part, is about this is trying to undermine my win. this is trying to undermine my win. and he has a habit of stretching the truth, telling falsehoods, lying. you saw it.

and you ran portions of rod rosenstein's remarks they don't say what the president says they said. and the fact that this operation began in 2014 when the president wasn't running yet, i would say one, he was publicly flirting with running at that point. and we know that a lot of this was about disruption and about hillary clinton in large measure. it is a straw man. either there was collusion or there wasn't. his campaign officials were involved in this or they weren't. and this has nothing to do with it, whether it was pre 2014 or not. >> and nobody in the white house that says mr. president, it is not about you, for god sake it is about the country. >> people in the white house consider it a victory if they can keep him from attacking rod rosenstein and this is yet another day that they can do that. >> the deputy attorney general was careful to refer to this

indictment today. leaving open the possibility of more to come. leaving open many possibilities. >> i think we are mid game. there is more to come. and i think what the deputy attorney general did today was quite remarkable and he has taken a lot of criticism for his role in writing the memo to fire comey. and he stood there alone in front of the podium. normally you would have the attorney general, the fbi director, and other agencies and they come together and it is a big deal and rod rosenstein standing there alone so he would take the political cover so the prosecutor, the special counsel of his team can continue to do the works behind the scenes is a notable achievement for him today. >> a number of donald trump supporters have been out saying look, they did things against president trump once he was

elected. once he was elected it was about sewing more discord and disorganization. but a lot of it for the trump campaign. american muslims for hillary clinton sign saying with fake quotes from her about sharia law. and support for jill stein and even pushing bernie sanders. >> they were successful here, if you talk to anyone, the russians were successful in what they were trying to do. the former head of the national intelligence agency james clapper said so. they were very successful. and another thing on this indictment, i think part of why this was out now, this was a lot of concern with the intelligence community that this is going to

continue. and that is sort of, the reason wy it is my belief that some of this has come out in the way it is. and the other issue and you raised this in the open here about how we had heard nothing about this in terms of the president defending us, our country. and in other situations like this when we had the north korea hack, the sony hack, president obama, there were sanctions and there weren't even charges with that. chinese hackers that we, there were sanctions as a result. when these kinds of nation state you indictment, charges brought against people to believe to be acting against our interest, you usually see something from the white house or some reaction. >> and not only that, congress overwhelmingly passed more sanctions against russia. and that is something that the president has not followed through on. and their excuse is the threat

of it has had an impact. it is hard to imagine there won't be some action from the white house now based on his own department of justice is saying >> the link that is missing in this whole story, and i want to be clear here, there is plenty of blame to go around. it is true pre 2014 election that the link was missing. we clearly had eyes on what the russians were doing. both in intelligence and in law enforcement portion is that bad stuff toward the united states. where the break down is how do you conduct relations with the world's other major nuclear power in order to manage that threat by deterrence and negotiation. do you do some kind of agreement that we are not going to do certain things you are not going to do certain things. or do you deter them. we cannot forget if this is a hostile act directed by the

russian government which is smells like in every way. and this indictment is clear about that. and that spectrum includes kinetic conflict and nuclear conflict. >> this indictment only focuses on one aspect of meddling. and it doesn't focus on hacked e-mails of the dnc or john podesta. >> what is interesting is it isn't only limited to the social media aspect. what people need to understand is it covers physical interaction that took place between these russian online personas and real americans here in the united states who thought they were dealing with other americans. this russia propaganda unit was contacting actual americans to set up protests and set up rallies. >> hiring people. >> to set up, in states, in the united states setting up real

live events. >> suppress african american turnout. >> an online components and translated it into actual physical accurativity and affec human behavior in the united states. >> the question is whether we will hear more on these indictments there is no way to tell or more organized response from the white house. >> i don't think there will be a more organized response from the white house. whether the president responds depends on the weather in florida. again, to your point, his tweet was very, very self directed and not about, and inwardly directed about him and had nothing to do with democracy, preventing election. every warning sign from the intelligence community over the last week and prior to that, this is going to be yet another year where russia is trying to

interfere. you had vladimir putin the other day say to a palestinian leader that he had trump's proxy to speech on a particular issue. that provoked almost no response from the white house. and if the white house does not respond, they will only increase i suspect. so i do not think the white house is going to change its course. keeping the president from attacking the special counsel. talk about how great this is because it said we had nothing to do with this and you will see more of that if you see anything at all. >> by the way, sunny, no chance of rain, that is the weather forecast. >> we will see what happens. >> coming up next, we will talk to former director national intelligence james clapper. we will get his take on these indictments, the president's claim of vindication and later, is there a chill between the

president and the first lady. word of another alleged affair has surfaced and we will talk to the reporter who broke that story.

mueller has indicted 13 russia nationals. >> do you believe that the january 2017 intelligence community assessment accurately characterized the extent of russian activities in the 2016 election. and its conclusion that russian intelligence agencies were responsible for the hacking and leaking of information and using misinformation in order to influence our election? >> i do, yes, sir. >> yes i do. >> yes. >> yes. >> james clapper joins us now. you read this indictment. just generally speaking what struck you? >> well, first, it was a compelling reinforcing

validation of the intelligence community assessment that we published and briefed president trump in january 2017. and followed zexactly the theme that we outlined and what the russian objections. to undermine our system, undermine the faith and trust of the american system. secondly, do what they could to hurt hillary clinton and thirdly, help donald trump. as we saw t it evolved over time. what you see in the indictment in my view is a validation of that. i should point out, that was an intelligence assessment. we had high confidence in our findings. this action is a higher evidentiary bar. it is probable cause which we don't, you know, that is a high bar in intelligence. but, the fact that the findings were the same, i thought was quite striking.

the other thing of course is the trade craft sophistication that the russians which we had seen and how it is spelled out for all to see, so i thought it was a very, very damning and compelling document. >> what is stunning to me about what you said, essentially, you are saying you and the other members of the intelligence committee briefed the president on this a year ago on this, the broad strokes about this. so he has known about this for the past year and has continued to call it a hoax and a ruse and has not held a cabinet level meeting about what to do about russia interference. if this was a past administration, you would think the president immediately upon his justice department laying out these incredibly serious.

>> that is what is so disturbing about this. the threat that is the russians are posing and which they are going to continue to pose to our basic system. and the president is singular indifference to this is a peril to the country. that transcends, whether there is collusion or not, that is significant, sure, if that is proven to be the case. but what is a greater danger to the country is a lack of response to this. we haven't punished the russians and we don't have a government approach. and the russians are going to keep coming at us. >> for a president who likes to call himself strong and whose supporters are saying he is all about strong, he has a weakness which is, he is not a very good poker player. any foreign leader knows that his weakness on this is that any

talk about russia, he views as an attack on his legitimacy. it is a huge glaring weakness. >> it is. >> that he cannot separate himself from what is needed for the good of the country. >> this came up, the four of us briefed, and the way he took this, and the way he interprets this is questioning the validity of the election. that came up then and that is what occasion the attacks on us has not seized and all of that for trying to advise him as the oncoming president as a profound threat of the country. this tweet today was about him. didn't say this was a threat to the country and we need to do something about it.

it is whether there is collusion or not. and there may be other shoes to drop there, too. >> because this indictment was so specific in the language it used, saying you know, in this indictment. >> exactly. and which you see here is another manifestation of a methodical systematic disciplined approach that special counsel mueller, bob mueller and his team are taking. there is another shoe to drop and note by finances. this that is going to be another profound thing coming out about this. what were the financial relationships between the trump organization before the election and the trump campaign. >> that is one of the fascinating things about this indictment today and to your point you, you start to understand why he selected the

attorneys, the law enforcement the intelligence professionals that he did. people in money laundering, people who are experts in cyber activities. >> absolutely. and we have often said, bob mueller and his team know a lot more about this than what is out there than we know and more to come. i didn't see any announcement of closing down the indictment. >> no more talk about over by thanksgiving and new year's. thank you. >> just ahead the fbi failed to act on a tip. also the president gets hit of news of another affair he had after melania trump gave birth to their son.

the first public story, it was the president and the porn actress. and now it is the president and

the playboy model. reports of a nine-month affair that president trump allegedly had starting in 2006 just a few months after melania trump gave birth to their son. accura accusations of a subsequent effort to keep miss mcdougal silent. cnn's kate bennett joins me now. do you we know when the first lady decided to head to andrew's air force base separately than the president? >> reporter: it was an unusual decision and we heard late the gui guidance that the white house put out. we learned shortly before that

she would be taking a car due to her schedule. there was nothing public on her schedule today however. we are used to seeing the first couple walk across the south lawn before they leave to mar-a-lago. so certainly a last minute and somewhat unusual decision. >> also coming on the heels who the first lady -- >> reporter: we haven't heard from her about these scandalous headlines that have been in the news in the past month or so. but she has indicated some bursts of independence. she traveled to cincinnati but instead of going to the president's speech, she went on her own tour of the hospital. certainly through her nonverbal

cues, they are not joined at the hip. >> do we know what the first lady's schedule is this weekend? they were both at a hospital this evening. >> reporter: correct. we don't really. typically when the first lady heads to mar-a-lago, it is private time. i am hearing she is gearing up for a busy march and april at the white house. first official hosting of the white house state dinner. for now, nothing on the schedule for the president and the first lady officially. >> this alleged nine-month affair. payoffs and legal agreements to cope this and multiple affairs out of the news. in mcdougal's case, four days before the presidential

election. paid $150 for the rights of the story and then buried it. just more fake news and said quote the president said he never had a relationship with mcdougal. and ronan farrow joining me now. you received notes that were handwritten by mcdougal about her alleged affairs. can you tell me about when they were written and why. >> they were written in the course of the selling of the story. and mcdougal says she was reluctantly interested in selling it. and she readily admits that she voluntarily signed these contracts giving up her life right then story.

we have documents suggesting it was clearly donald trump. and she said the end result was explo explo exploitative. we know of mull tiple instances. >> there is a release. cash and release? >> catch and kill. when a company acquires the rights of the story with the intelligence of burying it and not running it. the media company in this case is clear in saying we didn't run this because it wasn't credible to us. this is the company that owns the national enquirer. however, we spoke to six former employees ami. and they did so to gain leverage

or influence. >> some of the details are reminiscence of locations, you write the president, citizen trump introduced her to members of her family, she came to trump tower to the apartment. >> what is striking about this narrative is that we have multiple claims of either consensual affairs or nonconsensual advances and many of them have striking similarities. mcdougal talks about being offered money for sex, properties. as several of the women who have come forward with the stories, she met and interacted with the family. being shown melania trump's

separate bedroom. >> and was often invited to events that donald trump was holding for various vodka launch and the like. golf tournaments and was seated at a table with one of the president's children >> the story subjects as you say, these infidelities and the efforts to conceal the infidelities were entwined in donald trump's business operations, professional events and professional contacts like this company a.mi. >> it is also an interesting detail according to your reporting mcdougal was asked to pay her own way and she would be reimbursed by donald trump so there wasn't a corporate assistant helping with travel and the like. >> this story suggests a concerted effort and indeed a

well-oiled machine designed to conceal this both during and after the fact and that does include she claims she was secretly reimbursed for travel. talks about clandestine meetings in hotels. resembles what stormy daniels talks about in her story and these legal facts after the fact. mcdougal's case, this was not with trump's lawyers, it was with this media story. >> mcdougal and trump met at a party at the playboy mansion. a taping from the apprentice. she talks about being impressed with his politeness, by charmed by him, impressed by his intelligence. she describes a relationship where she was not mistreated and

is clear that it was consensual. >> i appreciate you talk to us. the story is in "the new yorker". thanks very much. told in early january. somehow. failed to pass on the information. details ahead. expedia, one clik gives you access to discounts on thousands of hotels, cars and things to do. like the occidental at the xcaret destination for 32% off. everything you need to go. expedia. everything you need to go. i accept i don't i even accept i i used thave a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but no matter where i ride, i go for my best. so if there's something better than warfarin, i'll go for that too. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke

better than warfarin, plus had less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i'm still going for my best. and for eliquis. ask your doctor about eliquis.

tonight the funerals have begun the survivors of tragedy at stoneman high school are still wrestling with what happened. today came news that if possible is making the suffering harder to bear. cnn's chief investigative correspondent drew griffin has more. >> reporter: tonight a startling admission from the nation's top law enforcement agency. just six weeks ago, a tip 12ste called the fbi tip line and warned them about the possible school shooter. the caller provided information, the fbi statement reads, about the shooter's gun ownership, desire to kill people, erratic behavior, as well as the potential of him conducting a school shooting. what did the fbi do? apparently nothing. in the statement released hours ago, the fbi admits it did not follow protocol. the tip never made it to the

miami field office, never made it to the agents who could have possibly followed up. >> on behalf of myself and over 1,000 employees of the miami field office, we truly regret any additional pain that this has caused. >> reporter: the attorney general now demanding an investigation. it is just one more warning sign missed on the path the confessed killer was taking that led him to the marjory stoneman douglas high school this past wednesday. newly obtained records by cnn show the broward county sheriff's office was called to the shooter's home more than 30 times since 2010. in 2016, during one of those calls, an incident report shows deputies and mental health professionals wrote the suspect suffers from mental illness, was seeing a therapist, and according to the report, he has mentioned in the past that he would like to purchase a firearm. despite reports from his mother that he was cutting his arm, a therapist on the scene deemed

him to be no threat to anyone or himself at the present time. fellow students tell cnn the shooter was strange, constantly acting up in school, getting in fights, and eventually expelled. joshua charro says he and others felt the danger had passed. >> you thought he would never come back to the school? >> i think no one knew he would come back to the school. >> reporter: charro, 16 years old, spent a year in rotc class with the shooter, a student he saz was quiet except when it came to talking about guns. >> he always liked to talk about guns. he was always asking people what kind of guns were better, if they knew which model worked best for certain hunting activities. >> did he ever talk about hunting? >> oh, yeah, a lot. he talked about hunting a lot. that and guns were usually the only two things he would talk about when we ever spoke. >> reporter: charro says he lost

touch with the shooter. then out of the blue, a message. >> he requested to follow me on his new instagram before everything happened, like two or three weeks ago. >> reporter: that shooter's instagram account, like his social media postings, in hindsight, all additional possible warnings. now in the wake of the mass shooting, police, the fbi, school officials and students wonder what could have been done. >> i understand you're getting some new information just now? >> reporter: yeah. we just found out the house judiciary committee and the house oversight committee, anderson, asking for the fbi to come in and brief them how this tip that came in on january 5th could have been overlooked, why nobody followed up on that. we're also reporting tonight, cnn reporting that despite this now well documented history of mental illness, this shooter, anderson, bought not just one, but five guns in the past year. anderson? >> drew griffin, thanks for the

reporting. much more to come on this friday night. what president trump is and is not saying about the 13 russians indicted for meddling in the elections when we continue. we took legendary, and made it liberating. we took safe, and made it daring. we took intelligent, and made it utterly irresistible. we took the most advanced e-class ever, and made the most exciting e-class ever. the 2018 e-class coupe and sedan. lease the e300 sedan for $569 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer. mercedes-benz. the best or nothing. ythen you turn 40 ande everything goes. tell me about it. you know, it's made me think, i'm closer to my retirement days than i am my college days. hm. i'm thinking... will i have enough? should i change something? well, you're asking the right questions. i just want to know, am i gonna be okay? i know people who specialize in "am i going to be okay."

connection with russians helping him win the election. keeping him honest, as you'll see, the indictment though quite a document for a lot of reasons we'll go over, does nothing of the sort. nothing at all. nor does it even address the russian hacking of the dnc nor efforts by members of his campaign, including his campaign chairman, son, and son-in-law to get dirt on hillary clinton. it says nothing about whether or not the president obstructed justice, and it certainly does not suggest the investigation is over, not by a long shot. in fact, just the opposite. more on what the indictment does say from cnn's shimon prokupecz who joins us now. kind of walk us through this. >> this is pretty detailed. 37-page indictment listing everything from the money that was used, how the money was obtained, the fake -- the stolen identities from americans that the russians used to open paypal accounts that they then used to buy ads on facebook and twitter, other social media avenues. the perso
