3:04 am
do no harm." maggie rulli, abc news, new york. and the president is weighing in on his travel ban now set to be implemented later this week. this of course follows the supreme court ruling. it has agreed to review the constitutionality of the travel banan allow key parts of it to go into effect. the ban will block travel from people from mostly muslim countries, including libya, somalia and the sudan. but the court declared the government cannot ban people who already have a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the united states, legal experts are calling this a mixed victory. >> i would say it's not a clear victory for either side. this strikes me as a compromise solution that hands both sides something of what they wanted but doesn't give anybody a clean victory. >> the president using his usual platform to call it a great day for american security and safety. the government will begin implementing the ban on thursday morning.

3:07 am
was involved, potentially, some other countries as well could have been equally involved or could have been involved, not equally. >> reporter: although president trump is jumping on an opportunity to criticize president obama, combating russian interference has hardly been a priority for this white house, even as the intelligence community warns that russia is highly likely to try to do it again. jonathan karl, abc news, the white house. president trump's accusations apparently aren't weighing too heavily on his predecessor. >> and you want proof? take a look. former president obama and his family were spotted cooling down on a river rafting trip during their vacation in indonesia. you may recall he lived there for several years as a child. and during the nine-day visit, mr. obama is also scheduled to visit the indonesian congress. they look as if they're having a good time. >> yeah. >> yeah. and we move on now to the wildfires burning in several western states. >> authorities in utah ordered more evacuations as the so-called brian head fire was being pushed by strong winds,
