says, do not travel to venezuela due to crime, civil unrest kidnapping, and the arbitrary enforcement of local laws, reconsider travel due to wrongful detentions, terrorism, and poor health infrastructure. now, the advisory also note interestingly that the u.s. government is not generally given a heads-up, are notified by the venezuelan government when u.s citizens are detained. so it's also unclear here just how the u.s government found doubt about this service members attention. but at a moment of extreme tension between the u.s. and venezuela, this is obviously not a welcome development given that venezuela has detained americans in the past, the biden administration has been able to get roughly 19 americans out of venezuelan detention and over the last several years, but this being a u.s service member, he's obviously going to be a higher value target for the venezuelan government at this time, particularly after the u.s. government took that very dramatic step of seizing venezuelan leader nicolas maduro's plane earlier this week, john yeah, concern and

unanswered questions at this tense time. natasha bertrand, thank you very much for that a new hour of cnn, new central starts right now i'll, community shattered and grieving after a deadly school shooting, two students and two teachers killed in a georgia school. >> the new details we're learning thing about the 14-year-old suspect and we will talk with both the teacher and a student from apalachee high school about those terrifying moments that student was sitting right next the alleged gunman before the shooting started. i'm sara sider with john berman, kate bolduan is out today. this is cnn new central all right any moment now, the 14-year-old suspect in a georgia school shooting could make his first court appearance where he is he's expected to face murder charges as an adult this morning. questions about

how he got an ar 15 a little more than a year ago, law enforcement visited the house his house concerned about postings on social media connected to the suspect, the parents said he did not have access to guns the victims are being remembered today to students, two teachers, beloved by the community with us now former fbi agent josh campbell. but first cnn's nick valencia, live on the scene. nic, what's the latest from there? >> chilling new details this morning about the alleged gunman of 14-year-old identified as a student here at apalachee high school, somebody who is known to law enforcement will have more on that in just a moment, but we're also learning about the caliber weapon that was used, an ar 15s style weapon used in yesterday's shooting, as we're learning more about these victims, four victims in all two of them teachers, two of them students here, those two students, just 14-years-old, one of them identified as 14-year-old mason screamer horn

along with his classmate, christian anglo, who's also 14. those two teachers identified as christina era me who is 53 a math teacher here at apalachee high school and another teacher here, coach richard aspen wall, 39-years-old, a beloved football coach here are defensive coordinator for the wildcats football team. they had actually game scheduled on friday. we don't know the status of that, but in addition to those that were killed, there was also nine that were injured. eight students and one adult and it was yesterday afternoon that we were reporting about that one adult who was shot in the stomach and in surgery. we're still waiting on getting an update on that condition, but the atmosphere here around a barrow county here in winder is very heavy. that tragedy that struck here in that school behind me, as we're learning more from students who were eyewitnesses to yesterday's shooting i heard like for loud gunshots or bangs in the middle somewhere around the middle of the school and then we just looked at each other and we got some of them,

grabbed their phones because in a cubby thing. >> and then we ran to the bathroom, some in the closet and locked ourselves for 15, 20 minutes. then the cops came and they told us that we can open the door and to come out. but we didn't want to until they i'm locked in case i was scared thinking what if there's one in middle school too, because i have my sister over there and i was nervous trying to calm down some friends because they were panicking i just had to stay strong the big question this morning, when will we see that 14-year-old make his first court appearance and how did he get his hands on that ar 15? >> john. >> all right. nic standby for mobile. let's go to josh campbell. josh, let's get a sense in your mind of what's happening in the investigation right now of the major questions well, key part john is trying to get to that motive, this is a unique situation and that this is a

shooting that resulted in the suspect being taken alive. >> so often we see the sun expect shot and killed by law enforcement. sometimes they kill themselves. and so if this individual is willing to cooperate with authorities, perhaps they can glean what the potential motive was. now, the motive isn't necessary in my opinion for this case. i'm sure that there's enough while witness testimony at perhaps surveillance footage inside the school. but authorities certainly want to know what the motive is the victim the family members, they certainly want to know when it also helps to try to allow law enforcement to prevent the next one. now, speaking of prevention there are two other unique aspects about this case. first, technology, just one week before this mass shooting, this school had installed a panic button style system, which essentially alerts law enforcement that there's a potential threat, sends the school into lockdown. and then secondly, we know that there were school resource officers who were on scene who bravely rushed in and confronted the gunman so having both of those type of prevention efforts on

site likely saved lives and then it's worth pointing out that two things can be be true while there were no doubt brave actions by law enforcement on that day, there are serious questions for law enforcement about what transpired before the shooting. we know the fbi came out and said that they had received tips last year regarding some type of anonymous threat. they boarded that two local law enforcement who interviewed this suspect, they ultimately determined that there was not probable we'll cause to actually make an arrest. but we've seen situations in the past where there were warning signs, missed signals. so although it looks like law enforcement did everything that they could, there are still serious questions and i wouldn't be surprised if the inspector general's office at department of justice is going through and scrubbing to see what exactly transpired in this country. we trust but verify because certainly this was an incident that resulted in loss of life is just tragic. >> hit law enforcement went to the house, they were told yes, there were guns there, but the child did not have access to them. that was more than a year ago, josh campbell. thank you for that reporting to nick valencia as well? sara.

>> all right. we are now going to speak with steven crain bowl meal. he joins me now. he's a teacher at apalachee high school. thank you so much for talking to us today. i'm really happy to see that you are safe right now, but i am really sorry to hear about this tragedy and the trauma that you're going to have to live with for the rescue? your life. steven, can you tell us a little bit about what you experienced, but also anything that you can tell us about the teachers and the students who were killed. here are the victims of this and the nine people who were shocked well, first and foremost, thank you for your thoughts and your concerns. i really appreciate it. and this community appreciates it as well. the biggest thing i can say that response was very fast from our sros, probably within a matter of a probably 120 seconds after gunfire on the sros responded to the individual and make sure that he was put into custody in

regards to some of the teachers and students that were involved it's tough they were very, very important members of our community. they made a difference. they were there for their students each and every day. and it's going to be very, very hard and difficult to move forward from that can you i think it's really remarkable because we heard from school administrators we heard from police that there is this new system that was put in place in your school just a week prior, that the door is locked in described what what that did and how that created a much, much safer and much less deadly incident. >> this time around in a school yes ma'am so, i believe the program is called synergy. basically, every teacher has a little like digital card on them where we can press a button where for presses gets our admin involved, and then eight presses of the button gaetz law enforcement sent to the high school and alerts that, you know, there is a, you know, a physical threat on

campus how important was it to have that in place are not all schools have it certainly how important was that? >> because you he said that the officers got there about two minutes, 120 seconds, from the time of the initial shooting critical. >> i will tell you that i actually saw the lockdown initiate before i even heard gunshots, so i had time to prepare. someone saw the threat even before he started to engage so it's almost like we knew before anything truly been happening for four lives were taken so it's it's, it's, it's insane that technology that we have access to and we practice it quite a bit with our administration. they've done a great job and preparing our staff in these kind of situations i just want to say thank god bless them for doing that and hard work that they put into those scenarios. >> yes. this is such an incredibly different scenario than what we saw in texas and uvalde, where there were 77

minutes where there was really no stopping this gunman in your case this happened so quickly, you have the technology in place. what would you like to say to members of congress, to your lawmakers to those that have some power to perhaps make some changes. what would you like to say to them about having to go through this? you go to school to learn, you go to school to teach. you go to school to make friends and to be part of society. and every year we're just at the beginning of the school year. here we are again, four people killed, nine people injured, including students and teachers yes, ma'am. >> the way i look at it from a very objective viewpoint is that a lot of people are grieving right now. a lot of people to express their grief. they want to, they want to cry, they want to hug their loved ones. they want to make sure that everyone is safe. however, i think it's appropriate that other people, they response in grieving is divisum that they want to make a positive change

in their community and whatever that might be, you know, i hope that there is significant change throughout the hopefully come in november and i hope that more legislation can be done to hopefully prevent these situations and keep our children safe it sounds like the school took matters into their own hands and really put in a system that worked with the unfortunate and horrible really there are people who have been killed and injured. >> but it is very different from what has happened at other schools. would you recommend this to other schools around the country yes ma'am without a doubt in my mind, i think this program that apalachee instilled upon us at 100% save lives without a, without a doubt in my mind, i recommend it to any school district stephen crane, both. >> thank you so much for taking the time. i know you are grieving and no, you're going through it and we just appreciate you coming on and letting the country know what

it is you and those in that school have gone through over the past 24 hours. appreciate you this morning, donald trump's legal team goes in front of a federal judge for the first time since the department and of justice revise the indictment against him in the federal election subversion case, we've got new reporting on the strategy. muted microphones, no notes and a bottle of wine just days until the big debate between donald trump and vice president kamala harris and then new video of an asteroid bouncing off of earth atmosphere. >> we've got new details on just how close it got to u.s. wow, that seems like to clothes, how nervous should we be here kamala. >> harris donald trump, the debate. everyone's been waiting for follow. cnn for complete coverage and exclusive pre and post-debate analysis. plus a cnn special event. we abc news presidential debate to the 90s on cnn and streaming on

cabinets to go. >> wow, for less this is your team you have the right set of individuals. there are going to take us to the next level knox training camp with the chicago bears streaming exclusively on max less than two hours from now, donald trump's legal team and special counsel jack smith, will go before a federal judge for trump's election interference case. >> it's the first hearing since the supreme court ruled that trump it has broad presidential immunity. that ruling led the special counsel's team to finally revised indictment. judge tanya chutkan is expected to decide where the case goes from here with the november election now, just two months away, cnn chief legal affairs correspondent paula reid is joining us now from outside the court. what are we expecting to hear? here in this hearing today oh, good morning, sara. >> it's been quite a while since we have been at federal court for this case. as you said, this is the first hearing since the supreme court issued

its opinion that limits what the special counsel can charge trump with and what evidence they can use to support that and there vice indictment last week or they did remove some of the evidence that they had previously included, but they did not eliminate any of the charges that trump is facing here. now, there are no cameras in the courtroom. trump is not here today. he is not required it to be, but i'll tell you what's going to happen. the judge is going to have a plan. judge, tanya chutkan, she is no nonsense. you will have read everything they've submitted and she will have a roadmap of questions that she will ask a both sides. and i think there we may get some indication of how this case will proceed because that's really the big issue today. what is the next step? what is the schedule look like? i'm told from a source familiar with the trump legal strategy that they believe a win today is just getting any significant hearings pushed off until after november. and the special counsel, they have not given any specifics about their preferred plan, but they also have not agreed to what defense has proposed so now it's up to

the judge so you talking about the trump team as any defense team would be trying to push this further and further. >> hopefully, for them past the election, right? is there a chance this doesn't go to trial or if it does, when might that might happen, it's not going to happen before the election, correct? >> that is the one thing everyone agrees on. i think sara is that this is not going to go to trial before the election. if trump is reelected, this case will go away along with them mar-a-lago documents case, both federal prosecutions, trump would certainly have his attorney general dismiss both of them. they'd go away. but if he is not re-elected, the timeline that we're looking at that is likely a trial that wouldn't even start until next fall because i'm told by my sources this case isn't going to trial if it goes to trial without at least one more trip to the supreme court because there are a lot of questions that they're going to be litigating over the next few months about which evidence can and cannot come in and whoever loses that argument here at the trial i'll court

there's certainly going to go back to the supreme court because sources close to this case say that the two sides believe there's sort of an implicit invitation in the supreme court's opinion to come back with additional questions related to presidential immunity. so if this case survives, the supreme court scrutiny, scrutiny by the judge here the trial court, the earliest a trial would go forward is in the fall. >> okay. we've heard a couple of things for donald trump won. he did an interview where he said that he should have been allowed to interfere in the election. but on tuesday, we heard something very different. the former president went on a podcast and acknowledged that he lost the 2020 election do not hear that that often could these things make an impact in this particular case i have that same question, so i made around the college yesterday to my sources. >> i'm told again by people familiar with the trump legal strategy, they don't believe that trump's comments about losing the election by a quote, whisker would factor in here. they don't believe that comments like that would enter

into a case like this, but sara jack smith may have different ideas so even when they get closer to the trial, there is possibly some way that they could try to introduce those comments, but they're not contemporaneous to the alleged conduct. and really the bigger argument is over what he was told at the time, right? the trump team is going to try to exclude what bill barr was telling him saying that's an official act got to toss it out. the supreme court. same thing with conversations he had with mike pence, there you're gonna try to talk to those. that's really the key evidence around his frame of mind at the time. it's going to make or break this case. not i am told what he's saying right now on the campaign trail alright we will wait and see if jack smith decides he tried to include some of that. >> but for the meantime, there's plenty to do. now, we will check in with you after the hearing athens. thank you so much, paula reid. appreciate it. alright. ahead. new details this morning on warning signs about the georgia school shooter who killed four people, two teachers, and two 214 year-olds will hear from a student in class with him just before he opened fire the tv

so you were sitting next to the alleged shooter in class? >> before this all happened? walk us through what happened i get this morning inside a period like usual and i saw him in his seat next to mine and i went to sit down and i'm putting my bag and i'm just talking to my friends like you and sometime between the beginning of class, he gets up and leave i presume to go to the bathroom, but he skipped usually, so it's you never know where he's going but he's in the bathroom and i'm just in classes normal and we're working and my friend goes to the bathroom and a little bit later and measure it comes in looking for them one of them and then mistake my friend for him and they take my

muted microphones, which the hearing harris campaigns still says she believes puts her at a disadvantage joining us now cnn, national politics correspondent eva mckend, and cnn national correspondent kristen holmes, both with us with u.s eva, you are in pittsburgh where the steelers are not a fan but love the city what are you, what are we hearing is going to happen there later? today will sara, despite their best efforts that campaign losing this tug of war over the muted mics, perhaps lowering expectations a bit, saying that she would be at a disadvantage. >> but we are learning that abc could to decide if they have a robust cross talk two, in fact, turn up those mics. but sara, this really indicates the strategy from the campaign side. they want to characterize the former president as unserious on disciplined in her as the disciplined leader that the country needs in this moment and she's picking up in endorsement from the other side of the aisle. let's listen and

as a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about the constitution, i have thought deeply about this. >> and because of the danger that donald trump poses not only am i not voting for donald trump, but i will be voting for kamala harris in so, you hear an endorsement there from liz cheney. time will tell how much that will help her but listen, let's run through the debate rules. sara, the debate is going to last 90 minutes that each will have minutes to respond to the questions two, commercial breaks, no notes that you can take up with you on that stage. but mics will in fact be muted when you talk out of turn and the topics will not be shared with the candidates in advance. >> so you're in pittsburgh, harris is going to be in pittsburgh. why is she preparing there? because we know she's preparing for this debate sara by my count, this

will be her fourth time in the state since launching her campaign. she had that rollout in philadelphia with a governor wall. she had the labor event with president biden and she had the bus tour here as well, and it just indicates that they want to message to voters that she is placing a high priority on this estate in her game time, she can make the most of that time being out and about in the community as we suspect, meeting with voters. and then also core to her campaign argument it's really affordability. a spokesperson for her campaign speaking to this earlier this morning were running to win and she's running away and she's talking about the economy. almost every single day on the campaign trail and her plans to lower costs, whether it's in housing, or groceries, or plans to give small businesses the tax next incentives they need to start and resources they need just get off the ground. a tax cut for middle-class families and working parents. you know, these are the things that she's talking about that i

think resonate with voters in their lives so the vice president going to roll in here in just a few hours, we'll see how she continues to try to make her case in to voters here in pittsburgh in the days leading up to the debate sara, steven, again, thank you so much. live there from harrisburg, pennsylvania. he very important state for both candidates now, to kristen holmes how is donald trump preparing? you know, we hear a lot from those around him that he's not actually preparing in the same ways that everyone else usually does. >> well, that's true and they also don't like to use the word preparing because donald trump doesn't think that he has to prepare, but they are getting ready for this debate. now they say, it's pretty similar to how he prepared for the debate against president joe biden. he has these blocks of time on his calendar that they refer to as policy time or policy review time. that's where he sits down there'll be on his plane or at trump tower where he is today or at bedminster with his various senior advisers and goes over

their policy and talks about potential questions that could get asked on it and how to pivot back to the three topics that they really want donald trump talking about, which are crime, the economy, and immigration. those of course be being the same topics that we know he was pulling ahead of president joe biden on. and they believe that if they can link harris to biden, he can pull ahead of harris on as well. obviously, issues that matter to voters and i do want to pull up those debate rules one more time because these debate rules here, these 90 minutes, this no pre-written notes, the nikes being muted and these are things that donald trump's team wanted. the thing to remember about donald trump and his team is that they are somewhat superstitious. they want to not ruin a good thing and they believe that he did well at the debate against president joe biden, and that they want to mimic those results. now, obviously is a completely different scenario with a completely different kid tentative, but as far as they can do that in terms of mimicking those results and mimicking what that looked like that's what they wanna do. now

to other things just to bring up in terms of debate prep, we know he is brought in tulsi gabbard. once a rival of kamala harris has actually debated with her onstage. she has been helping with some of that preparation. we also know that gabbard was able to run battle kamala harris on that debate stage back in 2020. so likely there's some talk there about how she did that, but overall, they insist that it's the same level of preparation that he had before he went on the stage with president joe biden. one thing to keep in mind. there's a lot of talk among trump allies about whether or not he can keep keep his tone and temperament and maintain without letting her kamala harris get underneath his skin. obviously, we will not know the answer to that until tuesday. >> an interesting little diddy, they were dancing to their him until say, i wonder if that's part of debate prep or not prep trump is also giving a speech here in new york today. what do you know about that? >> well, look, we know that the economy is one of the top issues for voters and he is expected to talk about that today. now, i was told by

various senior advisers that he was going to roll out new economic policy. but i do want to note that we've been told this before and it's been similar to what we have seen before, essentially just him talking about how kamala harris is policies are not working and then going through what he did as president and how he would do that again, not usually. very heavy on the details, so we'll see what happens, but this is at the new york economic club and they do want to continue to hammer home this idea that donald trump is better on the economy, better when it comes to inflation because they really do believe that that's a key core issue for voters heading to the ballot box in november and that is what the polling has generally been saying. >> so are correct on that, kristen holmes. thank you so much also to our eva mckend, who is live from harrisburg. alright. foe cnn for complete con it was an exclusive analysis before and after the debate, the abc news presidential debate is simulcast tuesday, 9:00 p.m. eastern on cnn and now to my favorite anchor of the day, john berman, the also the only

anchor your whisker with us now cnn political commentator, republican strategist shermichael singleton and patti solis doyle for president financial campaign manager for hillary clinton. shermichael, liz cheney says she's voting for kamala harris what is the current liz cheney constituency? >> that's the million-dollar question that i'm still trying to figure out, john significant, but the ultimate question is what will be the impact i think for the crowd of sort of never trumpers or trump skeptical republicans who voted for president biden in 2020 they're, going to vote for vice president harris since november. i think they're probably excited because the former congresswoman was really sort of the last individual of that sort of critical republican leadership that did not like the former president, but in terms of changing the direction of this race one way or the other, numerically speaking, i don't think that's going to happen. >> patti. how important might liz cheney be to those haley voters, and how gettable do you think those nikki haley, republican primary voters really are? >> yeah exactly. john. this is

first of all, you had polling yesterday that shows us that this is going to be an incredibly tight race all the way to the very, very end. excruciating lee tight. so every vote counts, including those nikki haley voters, including those sort of disagree disenchanted republicans that don't want to vote for trump, those double-haters. so i think what the liz cheney endorsement, if you'd call it an endorsement, the way she laid it out, really just gives people and gives those voters permission to say, okay, liz cheney, the daughter of former vice president dick cheney someone who is wildly conservatives, someone who's moderate, if she can vote for for kamala harris, then maybe i can to and as i said, in this tight of a race, though those votes are going to matter i want to play some sound from donald trump, purdue day noun town hall, town hall on fox last night. and by that, i

mean, i don't think the audience actually got to answer questions that we heard so far. >> but shermichael, when you listen to this, i want you to remember what kristen holmes just told us, which is that trump advisers want him to pivot all of his discussions towards inflation, immigration, and crime, and nothing else. >> so listen to what he had to say. instead abc is the worst network in terms of fairness, they are the most dishonest network demeanors. >> the nastiest. but that was what i was presented with. i think a lot of people are going to be watching to see how nasty they are, how unfair they are i agreed to do it because they wouldn't do any other network all right. >> two things. one, as an abc alum that's crap, but less important than that is it's not inflation. immigration, or crime. i can't help but notice that those words did come up and whatever however long i

expect to form president to say what he just said, john, but i may, people may not like some of trump's demeanor on certain things. but when you look at the data including this recent poll that just came out, most voters still believe he is the most competent individual to handle the economy and immigration. so i think the calculus for, from the campaign's perspective is you need to focus on these things because you do have that ten to 11 point advantage if he can figure out a way to replicate what he did in the debate against president biden. well, being silent when necessary, and jumping in, hitting hard on the issues where there's a clear distinction that i think he could fair fairly well. >> fatty before i get to what i was going to ask their let me just ask about that first debate because president biden was not good, right? let's stipulate, in fact, so not good that he's no longer the democratic nominee, but in a vacuum. do you think that the donald trump who was on that stage not in comparison to joe biden. >> but the donald trump who was on that stage, does that donald

trump win a debate against kamala harris well, let's go back to that debate. your right. i think that debate cost joe biden, the presidency or a second term? >> but remember, donald trump lied more than 28 times 20. >> i forget the count, but he lied a lot and he the fact that the mics were off really sort of the audience didn't get to see him be sort of in biden space and the chaos and his normal mo when it comes to debates. so i think that works in his favor for sure. but kamala harris has some real debate chops. she was very good in 2019 during the primary season and she was extremely good against vice president pence in the general so i think instead of donald trump really sort of focusing his time on having grinding his acts

against abc. he should spend more time prepping because as shermichael pointed out, that if if he if he focuses on the issues, you'd probably have better night. but it doesn't seem like he's going to he just can't help himself. right. so i would i would focus on prepping. i would focus on being disciplined because i'm pretty confident that kamala harris will be i'm sure the advice are given to the trump campaign is deeply sincere and they appreciate that, they appreciate all of your record. commendations shermichael singleton, thanks to both you russian president vladimir putin revealing who he supports in the u.s. presidential race has seemingly please sarcastic comments as the biden administration cracks down on russian interference in american elections and you have to see this new video of an asteroid oval bouncing off earth's atmosphere. hell officials can look at this and say nothing to worry about

he is writing an essay. >> any heard the shots and then some of the students in the class thought it was a prank or they didn't think it was real and he said, no, this sounds real he said he got up and he closed the door to his classroom he said another student helped him put desks in front of the classroom door that if the shooter came by, they couldn't get in he said after that, everybody just laid low. >> i'm still in shock. i'm still in disbelief. >> i we have this is a small county like we are not big and just i'm just still in shock and i just pray that he would be okay when i got there. >> when thankfully, he was but of course not everyone was again, for people shot and killed two teachers to

14-year-old students. >> authorities say the suspect, it turns out, was questioned last year at another county about a school shooting threat that he made online, but after speaking with them 13-year-old and his father, they say that he had no reason to take further action. the police, but that there were guns in the house the parents saying he did not have access to so a rare sight in the skies, a small asteroids spotty measuring about three feet across, still big enough to see in quite a spectacular sight as it bounced off the atmosphere now, we're told by space agencies that asteroid of this size, they say they're harmless and bounce off the atmosphere every time every two weeks they say they bounce off until they don't it is very rare were told to c10 before it strikes the atmosphere like that. that's what made that site so extraordinary so for those who want to dress up like a burrito chipotle is teaming up with the

jest? >> yes. i think sara, i think this was not obviously something we should interpret it as an actual endorsement of kamala harris. it was said with a sort of a wry smile in front of a domestic audience that also frankly laughed when he said it and he said, look we have said that we fed biden now biden, he said has been removed from the race and he has advised everyone to support kamalaharris. so of course, russia is going to do the same trolling, i think in some sense, putin obviously never misses an opportunity to try to discredit the u.s. and especially its democratic processes. he may also be aware that it is not exactly incoming harris is interests to gain the support of fruits and that it might actually be negative pr for her as well. so that is something to bear in mind while we have heard putin say before, he said back in february that he preferred biden because he was more predictable and experience than trump. he has since then made comments that are more supportive of trump, for example, quickly sizing the u.s. justice system over the

criminal conviction of trump. he then said that he supported trump's plan to quickly end the war in ukraine, even though trump hasn't really provided any details over how he would do that. and of course, as you say, this came one day after the fbi and the doj revealed these allegations of widespread this information in some of which coming directly from the kremlin itself and some of which seems to be designed to benefit trump's. so i think that is the context in which we should see those comments yes. >> thank you for that. i've just sort of clarifying exactly what happened, sean. you i've been looking into this for a very long time, just election interference, not just by iran, also by russia. we have seen this before what does the white house doing to try to combat this? because clearly there are some moves by russia just to destabilized, just to make people not believe that elections are going to be free and fair that's right. sara. >> and we're seeing something similar that we saw from the biden administration in the run-up to russia's full scale

invasion of ukraine, where the intelligence community is unveiling a trove of information that they say points directly to the kremlin in terms of their efforts to undermine u.s. democracy we knew this was happening in terms of russia's activity. we just didn't know the full extent or how is happening in yesterday, doj laid out their evidence for what they have in terms of these russian companies three of them, that are appear to be doing the direct work of the kremlin in terms of spreading viral memes are trying to make them viral. divisive messaging, targeting swing states targeting some of the same ways that were some of the same demographics that candidates in the u.s. try to appeal to the russian trolls are trying to also reach, reach them in a very different way. so we saw the mocking tone from president putin. we also saw mocking comments from russia

today, rt formerly known as russia today, the state television network, dismissing the allegations that their employees were russian agents. but we're seeing very much a an airing of the disinformation that the u.s. government has seeing from russia and attorney general merrick garland yesterday was pretty clear about how he sees this threat and what he's trying to the message he's trying to send to the american public these websites were designed to appear to american readers as if they were major u.s. >> news sites like the washington post or fox news but in fact, they were fake sites. the justice department's message is clear. we have no tolerance for attempts by authoritarian regimes to exploit our demographic, our democratic system of government and that's exactly what u.s. >> officials are looking for
