election was rigged. during that period, u.s. intelligence officials determined that wikileaks was ciing used by the russians to disseminate stolen democratic officials' e-mails and data, and president trump's own c.i.a. director, mike pompeo, has also issued a warning about okileaks. >> it's time to call out wikileaks for what it really is: rsnon-state hostile intelligence service often embedded by state actors like russia. >> that somebody in the committee selectively leaked his e-mail with wikileaks. many of the messages from wikileaks to trump jr. did go .nanswered. >> jeff pegues, thanks. the president is wiping the president is winding up his trip to asia in the philippines, his last stop before returning home tomorrow. he appeared to give the country's leader a pass on human ngghts. major garrett is traveling with the president.
