national intelligence dan coats acknowledged he still doesn't know what was agreed to and thinks the president shouldn't have met him alone. >> well, you're right. i don't know what happened in that meeting. i think as time goes by and the presidential has already mentioned some things that happened in that meeting, i think we will learn more. but that is the president's prerogati prerogative. if he had asked me how that ought to be conducted i would have suggested a different way. >> reporter: coats has been sounding the alarm about the ongoing cyber threat from russia. >> they are the ones that are trying to undermine our basic values, divide us with our alli allies. they're the ones that are trying to wreak havoc over our election process. we need to call them out on that. it's critical that we do so. >> reporter: on monday the president seemed to accept putin's denial that russia interfered in the 2016 election. >> my people came to me, dan coats came to me and some

others, they said they think it's russia. i have president putin, he just said it's not russia. >> reporter: but in an interview yesterday with jeff glor president trump acknowledged putin was behind the 2016 meddling and said he backed his intelligence community. >> coats says the threat is ongoing. do you agree with that? >> it better not be. it better not be. >> have you talked with coats since you got back? >> i have, sure. >> what did he say? >> just talked generally speaking. he agrees with the statement you made. and i go along with him. >> reporter: just as coats was being interviewed today, the white house announced another meeting this fall between president trump and putin. this time in washington. >> the white house has announced on twitter that vladimir putin is coming to the white house in the fall. >> okay.

mo aggressive cyber adversary the u.s. is currently facing. there is an effort under way to have vladimir putin come here in september or accomplish since it got back from helsinki, which is to say the president has a strong attitude about russian meddling in the 2016 election and ongoing efforts to infiltrate the 2015 mid-terms. think about this, jeff. putin's arrival here in washington if it comes about would happen right in the teeth of that midterm election. so whatever the white house says about its upset or disagreement mechanisms undertaken by the russians would certainly be complicated by the fanfare of a summit between president trump and president putin. the cdc calls the opioid addiction the biggest health threat facing the nation. scientists are testing a new treatment thatouti jeff g has thi stor >>nd he said from very firsime he used heroin, vet
