"very little pickup by the dishonest media of incredible information provided by wikileaks." then, two days later, on october 14th, 2016, trump junior tweeted out the link wikileaks sent him. on election day, wikileaks wrote to don junior, "hi, don, if your father loses, we think it is much more interesting if he does not concede, and spends time challenging the media, and other types of rigging that occurred." no response

u.s. elections it's a fairly big news because the intelligence community here has little doubt that russia did in fact interfere with u.s. elections and we've seen things from facebook as well about the russia had paid for and then twenty four hours later president trump's saying i'm standing by my intelligence community so it's a very mixed message you've got people like republican our republican senator from arizona john mccain saying that president trump is clearly not putting america first when he's siding with a former k.g.b. colonel against his own intelligence community something he's since flipped around but what you can take from all this is it seems that president trump does want to have some kind of good relationship with russia and certainly seems to be someone who has a great deal of admiration for vladimir putin and gallagher there live from washington d.c. andy thank you now the syrian province of aleppo is again under heavy bombardment by government warplanes targeting rebel fighters the air raids have forced thousands of civilians to flee the area and set up makeshift camp

u.s. intelligence community's assessment that russia meddled in the election. he begrudgingly said he agreed with the intelligence community, but he did not walk back that stinging criticism of people like jim clapper and so on, who he referred to as liars and hacks, in that discussion with reporters on air force one. the president at one point during this news conference also sort of loudly complained about the sanctions that are still on russia, despite the fact that there's ongoing investigation into russia meddling in the 2016 election, here's what the president had to say about that. >> people don't realize, russia has been heavily sanctioned. they were sanctioned at a high level, and that took place recently. it's now time to get back to healing a world that is shattered and broken. >> reporter: now, nowhere in the president's remarking did he say yes or no he believes that the u.s. intelligence community is correct, that russia meddled in the 2016 election. boris, i tried to ask the president that question myself as he was walking around the gardens of t

u.s. community here's what he said about that take a listen. it might be funny but to be funny because. those who do that tonight states they've been saying proudly that they are democrats for the first. and then the freedom of speech for them it was the most important stay being saved at their champions of the freedom of speech and without freedom of speech there is no democracy and so that kind of was sold in our mass media in the united states that's an assault on the freedom of speech itself. the russian leader moved on to talk about retaliatory measures that are currently being mauled by russian lawmakers he said but some of them are actually quite harsh the suggestions that are being made but according to the russian leader the response will be. appropriate and he pointed out that the russian media never influenced the actual process or any kind of outcomes in the u.s. politics and of course the presidential race in which the. president donald trump became the u.s. leader of course but this follows an outcry crackdown on tea and other russian media outlets in the u.s. just to remi

u.s. intelligent community and congress.of the reason of the trip asia is so important is that because the president wanted to present a united front between allies and north korea. it seems like he's avoiding conflict with vladimir putin. what does it say to our allies of that part of the world and really all over the world. >> it is ironic a few days ago in seoul, president trump says the united states does not run away from conflicts. he did exactly that today which tells vladimir putin can continue to do whatever he wants at no cause. it also tells us that kim jong-un, that the united states does not respond to direct attack in the homeland. >> that's a dangerous message. >> the other thing here i want to ask about the reason that donald trump gives for not confronting of vladimir putin. he rather talk to him about north korea or ukraine or syria. can he do both? don't our interest naturally align to the point where he can confront vladimir putin where we have to do something with kim jong-un. >> the meeting is not deter

u.s. intelligence community's assessment is that russian interference in the election last year didn't affecthe outcome of the election. that is not the u.s. intlejs community's assessment. they made no assessment on that. didn't check. had to rescind the comments after he made them. followed the "washington post" scoop that mike pompeo has reorganized the cia so that one part of the agency that didn't used to report to the director now reports directly to him, counterintelligence mission center, the part of the cia who turned up evidence of trump campaign officials making contacts with russian officials. that's the part of the cia that produced intelligence information which led to the russia investigation in the first place. that part of cia now has been reorganized internally to report directly to mike pompeo. former u.s. attorney barbara mcquade recently made a public argument that wakes me up in the middle of the night. mike pompeo could stop robert mueller in his tracks. could potentially deny the investigation access to classified intelligence that the special counsel might need to mak

u.s. intelligence community's view that russia meddled in last year's election was widely criticized on saturday when he said he believes putin who's always denied the allegations writing on twitter trump also slammed what he called the fools who oppose better ties with moscow. the spanish prime minister mariano rajoy is in catalonia for the first time since the central government imposed direct rule over the region he traveled to barcelona to campaign ahead of december's regional elections spanish central government dissolved catalan parliament after it declared independence last month or praised efforts to honor spanish ur in what he called difficult times in more secure from before we have done exactly what any other country who respects itself would have done board france or germany do if one of their regions suddenly wanted an autonomous referendum article one five five is there to defend the constitution the law and the general interest when they're home and in a clear manner. and about four hundred refugees refusing to leave a decommissioned prison camp on lana's island have had to build

u.s. academic community. ting speech on campus. >> well, laura, it has a long arm into the u.s. academic community and the arm is getting longer. i'm the poster child for the persecution by china of american academics and american students that criticize the chinese regime for human rights. we talked before ant my reporting on forced abortions in china, which lead the chinese government to demand of stanford, not ask, that i be expelled from the university and stanford complied. that was a long time ago. china is larger and more powerful today than then. >> laura: more money. >> and more active in suppressing speech. >> laura: and more money. they have a lot more money. and what is happening on the college campuses? >> college students, most of them come from the white collar class in china. most of those people are employed by the chinese state. state-owned enterprises. the students feel pressure when they're here to self-censor. they know their social media is monitored. that has a strong chilling effect. >>

u.s. government said? what has the community done to deal with this crisis? >> the u.s. in the international community have been quite outspoken about the real concerns about what is going on. so far we have yet to see a real unified support come together across the international community for some kind of a decisive action and not just determining whether myanmar is carrying out ethnic cleansing, about you in terms of dealing with the crisis. 609,000 muslims here in these camps. another 200,000 expected in the next two weeks. simply put, it is not a sustainable situation. wolf? >> it certainly is not. thanks for bringing this crisis to the world's attention. doing excellent reporting for us on the scene as she always does. thank you very much. coming up, he turned 75 years old next week. joe biden said he is not ruling out a 2020 run for the white house with democrats welcome being him with open arms. president trump dragging that world leaders are rolling out the red carpet like no one who came before him. i will speak live at the former white house photographer for pr

u.s. intelligence community who disputes this january assessment?no, i think it's widely considered the truth. the problem that comes from having this meeting between the director of the cia and binney is that it shows the potential for the politicalization of the intelligence process where information is coming from right wing sources to the president. he's then forcing the intelligence, the leaders of the intelligence community to meet with him and then have this go from right wing media to the white house into the blood stream of the intelligence community. >> the president clearly does not want to believe that the russians interfered in the election. he sees that simply as an excuse that the democrats concocted why hillary clinton lost the election. he's been consistent through the campaign and since becoming president. >> he's raised those same doubts since he's become president as recently as interviews this summer. >> good work. thanks very much, jim sciutto, james risen. just ahead, explosive new accusations against kevin spacey from a forme

u.s. intelligence community when it comes to electioned ed mmeddli. the president said, putin strongly denied that moscow had interfered. the president then dismissed former u.s. intelligence officials as quote hacks and accused democrats of trying to sabotage relations between the two countries. this is video of the two men shaking hands at a meeting in vietnam today. trump appointed kremlin tried to meddle in the election to help trump beat hillary clinton. . >>> a retired marine completing a mission in our own backyard. this wounded warrior had some help along the way. >>> emotions overflow in howard's last home game of the season. news 4 sport breaks down the fight and the game. >>> a transgender high school student in maryland is mereatened via social dia. >>> a principal at a high school says students used snapchat to target a transgender student. according to the newspaper, the students at southern high school went after the teen using threatening language under the name confederate lives matter. police started investigating this. the school's p

u.s. intelligence community. trump told reporters onboard air force one he believed putin's assertion that he didn't interfere with the u.s. election. he said, in effect, he had run out of ways to ask putin and he feared putin was insulted by the question. and he referred to former cia director john brennan, former dni james clapper, as political hacks and former fbi director comey as a liar and a leaker. but siding with the russians and against the home team while on foreign soil didn't go over well. it's something our presidents do not do. and so the president was waiting and ready with a clarification when he was next asked about it. >> i believe that he feels that he and russia did not meddle in the election. as to whether i believe it or not, i'm with our agencies, especially as currently constituted with their leadership. i believe in our intel agencies, our intelligence agencies. i've worked with them very strongly. >> that brings us to our leadoff panel on a monday night. phillip rucker, white house bureau

u.s. intelligence community cop firps that russia meddled in the u.s.still not prepared to concede that russians interfered. instead the president told reporters he believes president putin when he said there was no meddling by the kremlin. to dive further into the comments, let's bring in our channel. joyce vance with us again and jordan fabian, white house correspondent and kevin sir illy. and jordan, the president said he could keep asking about putin about interference in the elections, yes, he can -- he said he can't keep asking. but he can. he could ask him again and again and again. because new revelations keep emerging. why is president trump so against that? >> well it is striking but you have to remember, this is the president's stance for months now. he hasn't said he believes this conclusion that russia did meddle in the election. and it came even a more striking contrast this weekend with mike pompeo coming out and reiterating the cia director hand picked that u.s. intelligence community has in fact verified this happened but you have the p

and, of course, again, we have yet another person deeply involved with that campaign in communication with what the u.s. intelligence community and even trump's own cia director believe is at the very least a channel for russian influence. the interactions between donald trump jr. and wikileaks happened in private in direct message via twitter, starting as first revealed in "the atlantic" last year. wikileaks reached out to trump's son. he responded the next day. i don't know who that is but i'll ask around. thanks. the atlantic reports trump jr. then e-mailed a number of senior officials, letting them know that wikileaks had made contact. on october 2nd, president trump's friend announced that it was coming. trump didn't get an answer back but four days later the intelligence community announced it believes russia was behind the dnc hacks. shortly after, wikileaks began releasing hacked e-mails from hillary clinton's campaign manager jon podesta. these infamous remarks from then candidate trump. >> wikileaks. i love wikileaks. >> reporter: wikileaks was back in trump junior's dms, strongly suggest you
