here's what "the new york times" david sanger has found along with his colleagues. democrats contend that the russian-linked information is being funneled to a committee headed by senator ron johnson. the wisconsin republican who is investigating mr. biden and his son who was once paid as a board member of the ukrainian energy company. what can you tell us? >> not much because it's classified. the president seems to deny everything that's fact and reality these days, it's -- it's at the well spring of our democracy. our elections. the founding fathers in the constitution worried about foreign interference in elections and their press understand is proving true today. we are asking the fbi director can brief the congress and so we can know what's happening and then do things about it. let's hope he says yes. >> what would you do? >> well, we have to know what -- we have to know the details before we can tell you what we would do, but we should be doing everything to prevent foreign interference in our elections. >> we are about a hundred days away from the election.

david sanger, "a new york times" reporter explains how the white house passed the buck to the states to devastating effect. >> in early april, the president said that it would be the most important decision of his presidency whether to go about doing the reopening. and instead of make that decision, they decided in mid-april to basically look to make sure that they had provided the states with ventilators, and protective equipment and so forth, and then tell the states it is up to you. you'll remember, we all reported at the time, they turned out some recommended standards of each state should meet before they reopened. but, of course, the president quickly discovered that those were boxing him in. that the states weren't going to be able to meet that standard, some were reopening already, so he simply said liberate the states. in other words, open them up. he never really repeated his own administration standards. and that set of decisions paved the way for the resurgence we're seeing to this very day. >> the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention has updated its guidance f

chairman, david sanger, one of the authors of "the times" report today indicated "the times" believester is a reference to senator ron johnson and his committee having been funneled information from a foreign source. would that surprise you if a member of the republican party in the united states senate were getting information from foreign sources with regard to tampering with our election? >> this is an issue we brought up during the impeachment. you'll recall dr. fiona hill how members of congress were propagating a russian fiction, in that case about ukraine interfering in the election. the import of that testimony and others was that the president and his accolades in congress were stoking this conspiracy theory that was of russian ot r origin if there are issues like that, if there is intelligence suggesting the russians or any other power are similarly trying to influence u.s. politics, in this case the u.s. election, congress needs to beaware of i and ultimately the congress needs to be aware of it. we have to take steps, i think, to deter that. we can't count on president tru
