moscow with sanctions before leaving office. he aimed a warning at vladimir putin telling him to cut it out or there would be consequences. in october 2016 the department of homeland security issued a statement on this. at the time there was some concern inside the obama administration that it might look like they were putting their finger on the scale if they were to say too much publicly about russian interference. that's something that top democrat adam schiff is acknowledging in a recent interview. but he says that's not an excuse for, in schiff's words, for frmp president trump to sit on his hands now. we may learn more when sarah sanders talks to reporters today, for the first time since the indictments came down. hoda? >> hallie jackson. hallie, thank you. we'll turn to the winter olympics. histories was made in ice
