bringing in cnn white house correspondent athena jones. >> reporter: hi, fred. this is very interesting, because we know that president trump did not have a press conference before leaving the g-20 and so there wasn't an opportunity for reporters to ask him about the discrepancy between the readouts from the russian side and the u.s. side after that two-hour-plus sitdown with russian president vladimir putin but he has taken to twitter to address some of these questions. you put these up on the screen. put them up again. he said this morning, i strongly pressed president putin twice about russian meddling in our election. evehemently denied it. i'm already given my opinion. and tweeted, putin and i discussed forming an impenetrable cyber security unit so that election hacking and many other negative things will be guarded. both of those are stunning statements for different reasons. the first, the president confirms he, what all sides agree with, that he did confront president putin about russian meddling and said i've already given my opinion. a lot of folks ha

athena jones at the white house with the fighting we see no signs of letting up. >> reporter: that's exactly right. this is unusually public to see this level of infighting and profanity on the record with the new communications director, anthony scaramucci and the rant, that phone call he made to the new yorkers, ryan lizza, complaining profusely about not only chief of staff, reince priebus, but also steve bannon, another of the president's top advisers. interestingly, we haven't seen reaction from the president himself to that profanity laced tirade, as you mentioned the f-bomb used several times. we saw scaramucci tweet last night after ryan lizza published an account of their interview. i use colorful language. i will not give up the fight for donald trump's algd. i made a mistake in trusting our reporter. it won't happen again. of course, neither of those is any sort of apology, but is trying to signal he has learned his lesson. we have made clear scaramucci did not make it clear for it to be off the record. there's a seat learning curve for someone who hasn't worked in communi
