for the first time, the dccc has brought data and analytics in-house. we put a premium on hiring a diverse and local field staff deployed months earlier than ever before, to build a lasting democratic infrastructure in districts across the country that won't just help us in 2016, but in 2018 and beyond. and we've established a targeted messaging operation so that campaigns can communicate with voters in the smartest way possible, especially with millennials, people of color, and women. now let me walk you through three strategic priorities the committee moving forward. first, we will arm our campaigns with the smartest data, analytics and field programs. in conjunction with hillary clinton's campaign and other al tlierks dccc's in-house data and analytics infrastructure has allowed us to build the first trump model. drawing from live data in targeted states and districts, the model will measure and predict which voters are likely to have an unfavorable view of donald trump, typically independents or moderate republicans, and often women. from the moment

according to reports, the dccc declined to comment. >>> donald trump continues to face heavy criticismor his challenge to russian hackers to locate hillary clinton's missing e-mails. a number of democratic leaders yesterday added their voices to calls of treason by trump. >> donald trump has now spoken to vladimir putin, and said that putin and the russians, hack into the dnc's e-mails -- >> well i don't know that he spoke to putin personally. >> yeah. >> but he spoke out to putin -- >> yeah, yeah. >> in a manner that, if a democrat ever did it the republicans would accuse us of treason. the fact is, what he did is a treasonous act. >> it's very clear to me that donald trump is unfit, and frankly i think he's dangerous. i believe that there's a chance he violated the law with what he said, inviting a cyber attack of russia. a dictator who has violated all of our principles of liberty and freedom in russia. the nation he would invite a foreign nation to conduct an attack against our country, it's just beyond the pale, and i believe it violates the logan act and i think he should be inve

of a broader assault, according to officials, on democratic political organizations, including the dccc. and as we've already reported, the dnc, the democratic national convention. fox news correspondent jennifer gray is with the breaking news. >> good evening, bret. well-placed sources confirm to fox news that the fbi is, in fact, investigating a potential cyberbreach of not only the network used by hillary clinton and her campaign but also of the democratic congressional committee, the committee that is raising money for house democrats, as well as the cyberbreach we already knew of the dnc. all of this raising new concerns tonight that a state actor may be trying to influence the u.s. elections. hillary clinton and tim kaine have already begun campaigning, holding a rally in downtown philadelphia, and then leaving for a three-day bus ride across the battleground states of pennsylvania and ohio, fertile ground for disaffected republicans. >> when i did wake up this morning and bill and i started drinking our coffee, we suddenly looked at each other and we realized, as of tomorrow, we

so there is sort of a suggestion here, we don't want to get ahead of the facts, but the dccc is saying vulnerability it now has confirmed is similar to what happened with the dnc, and we know that produced some e-mails going to wikileaks. these vulnerabilities are showing the real concerns about cyber espe knowledge and perhaps political espionage. >> joining me, national security correspondent, mark, thank you for your time. the new investigation involving the dccc, this time, a lot of focus is on these security briefings, that both candidates are now eligible to receive here. but you have these lingering questions about donald trump's relationship where his campaign -- people within the campaign with vladimir putin. that's now complicated all of this even more. what has your reporting uncovered about any ties that can be confirmed? >> none definite about anything between the trump campaign or the russians. there is obviously speculation, there is a lot of people throwing charges. but james clapper, the director of national intelligence yesterday, went out of his way to say that at le

there is a narrative coming from the dccc that all we have to do is boost the race to be over. we see no data and efrd to indu k indicate such. i have faith in the american people and their ability to tell the difference between one person and another. if you are out doing the work the voters know you and what you are about. they will have a decision on who is best able to represent them locally. finally when we read the 70-80 seats are going to be in play it is a head scratcher to figure out where the data is staying from. so, we feel good about where we have at. we know we have competitive races we have to run. we think we are well equipped financially. best finances we have had and on the data digital, strategic and analytic side as well. there is not a single one of these candidates i wish i could have recruited somebody else to run in their place. thank you for coming out. the floor is yours >> i will just do one so we get to as many people possible in the time we have. let me -- you were talking about a good meeting yesterday with mr. trump. there was a report in politico

dccc was so afraid of him, they ran a campaign to tell voters that he was more mainstream >.ow what are you going to say in the general election? you have scott jones. you go around the country, terrific candidates one end to the other. races?there some sleeper >> there probably are. that's how we keep them. >> its top-secret. all right. issue set andthe things you hear about from constituents when you are back in your district. you think that the chaos and instability we are seeing changes the political landscape? >> absolutely. i tell you this because we have seen this the last couple of years. the instability around the world, failed foreign policy of this administration. remember it is the obama clinton foreign-policy. she felt design and implement what we have now. it is hard to find a place in the world that is more secure and safe and respective than america was eight years ago. now we know isis is no jv team. they are sophisticated. this leads to the angst i think americans feel today. somehow leading from behind has left us more vulnerable. that's why you see strengt

>> reporter: well, the dccc which is responsible for trying to elect more democrats to the house andthose incumbents seeking reelection, so you're talking about a pure politics fundraising, lots of conversations inside the democratic party and their spokesperson is confirming that they have been been the target of a cyber security incident. in a normal stint, upon discovering an incident, they have engaged crowd strike. that's a forensic group that is able to do a lot of investigation and this is public sources, so, as they provide information which again points to russia or russian hackers, that's important because the dnc also had a similar situation. now, the dccc says that this investigation is ongoing, but they have been advised that it is a similar breach to what we saw with the democratic national convention. so that suggests that if in fact is russian hackers and what's what the evidence suggests to far, they found a point of entry into the democratic party and democratic organized groups cyber security. p top get inside their network. we've seen what has already happened, an

the dccc raises money for democrats running for the u.s. house of representatives. >>> the lawyers for the young woman arrested at the holland tunnel in an suv filled with weapons are trying to get her an suv as she and two others tried to enter new york to save a young girl from drugs. when the presiding judge heard that erin failed to make court appearances, he decided to keep that bail in place. her attorneys plan to appeal that decision. >> this case is no different than any other gun case that comes before the superior court where people are let out with to the criminal justice system, which she does not have any of that. >> prosecutors say they hope to convene a grand jury in erin's case by early september. >>> in connecticut, police want you to take a good look at this man. police say he and a woman kidnapped and robbed another woman at gunpoint in stamford. police say the victim offered to give the couple a ride. once they got into the car, she demanded money. the female withdrew $1500 from a bank and she gave them more money and mo

the democratic national committee, the house democratic campaign arm, the dccc. and now the clinton campaign. they all seem to be the work of these same hackers that are traced back to russian intelligence. and that cybersecurity firms and the fbi that have been working on this say they seem to be all similar. and this could be really the tip of the iceberg. fbi officials, law enforcement officials are telling our evan perez that they feel that these russian hackers have really targeted a whole series, don, of political entity, private companies, tied to the democratic party. now, of course, the motive is really uncertain. if you connect some of the dots right now and certainly with everything that donald trump has been saying favorably about russia, one would think that this is to influence the election in favor of donald trump. but these hacks go back about 18 months, even before donald trump was really the democratic front-runner. so it's possible the russians intelligence started doing this as a fishing expedition, you know. a lot of countries are all spying

i'll read you part of the statement from the spokeswoman for the dccc.d we immediately took action and engaged with a leading forensics investigator to assist us in addressing the incident. the investigation is ongoing. we'll been advised by investigators that this is similar to recent incidents including the dnc breach. if this plays out in the same way the dnc leak played out, it could provoke a bunch of similar revelations that could be possibly embarrassing to democrats and the eve of the elections and what we know now is the democratic senatorial campaign committee, the political arm for the senate democrats, told us they have not been the subject of a hack. this hack is now affecting house democrats. we don't know what these hackers have obtained and whether they will leak it but a possible political problem for democrats going forward, guys. >> indeed. donna brazile, the new chair, the temporary chair, has made clear she thinks there very well could be more embarrassing e-mails out there the. >> this may be beyond where the investigation is at thi

it's not clear exactly who tapped into the computers and what information was taken at the dccc. president obama says russia was almost certainly responsible for the hack of the democratic national committee. cyber security experts agree. maria: live pictures from colorado springs where donald trump is holding a town hall. supporters are waiting for donald trump to take the stage. that should happen at any moment. ed: in the meantime, look at this video. do you recognize that man in front? maria: now i do. a novel approach to campaigning today. mike pence riding a harley davidson motorcycle across indiana -- of course he is the governor of indiana -- with a national guard charity group. pence rode motorcycles when he was younger. he jokes he took it up again when he became governor because it's required in the constitution. it's a good line. by the way, he borrowed the harley. maria: good to know. two adults and a teenager recovering after they were attacked with a baseball bat. ed: this afternoon, manchester police are looking for 30-year-old robert russell. the victims tell pol

now the dccc, the arm of house democrats, and now we're getting word from evan perez and jim sciuttohat the fbi and the justice department are investigating the possible hacking of the clinton campaign's computers and e-mail testimo system. this is all very disturbing information. >> no doubt it's disturbing. the clinton campaign manager went on state of the union with jake and asserted it was the russians without a ton of facts at that point. other reporting has come out throughout the week that does sort of point that way, but perhaps robbie was so confident last saturday because they may have already been looking into this issue in their own campaign headquarters. so it now seems that the democratic accomplishment across the board from the presidential campaign to the party headquarters to the congressional arm, they're under attack. that's what this is. they're under attack. so this now, i would imagine, we're going to see congressional hearings. this story is going to be with us for our while to find out who's doing it and what the motivation is behind it. >> and if these leaks

here's what officials at the dccc said earlier today. the investigation is ongoing.een advised by investigators that this is similar to other recent incidents including the dnc breach. now, i have been talking to folks at fire eye, a cyber security company looking into this. here's the findings they gave me about this particular incident at the dccc saying that the hackers redirected traffic to an act blues domain and one letter off from the campaign for money to the dccc and there hackers could gather information about the democratic party donors and didn't steal money and that's what makes investigators think it's likely russian intelligence gathering information, not a criminal gang stealing money. they say it was active from at least june 19th to 27th and they say this was part of the same russian hacking group of the czar team that's been active in the past several years in russian intelligence type activities saying that all of the targets have been targets that share -- that are -- that coincide, excuse me, with the russian government's intelligence activities
