dotted with red, the make america great again hats. there are warmer versions, beanie hats that say "usa" or "45," representing that donald trump is to be sworn in as the 45th president of the united states. i will also say the weather a little bit different. it was absolutely frigid when president obama first took this oath of office. a little warmer today but raining potentially. there's a lot of ponchos in the crowd. we're told some of the dignitaries have umbrellas hidden away. as for inside the capitol, a difference there, too. when the president was inaugurated in 2008, you had democrats overjoyed, excited about the possibility of the incoming president. now you have a lot of republicans who are wondering what happens next? what is he going to do right out of the gate. we think those are going to be some beiexecutive order and a supreme court nominee as soon as monday. >> while casey was talking we saw trent lott, cardinal dolan arriving. katy tur is also standing by. on the other side of the capitol we've had some of the former presidents arrive. we have out there waiting executive one, the familiar green sikorsky helicopter, whi

that they can, connect dots as best they can, and say here are some conclusions of this information, but nothing is 100%. it raises the fundamental question of how will donald trump make his decisions if he is not trusting the information he is getting from the intel community? >> he is going to get another briefing, presumably, by the leaders of the intelligence community as opposed to some deputy who has been briefed during the presidential daily brief. >> presumably, he has some of this information already. the same information that some of the senators have as well. so far he has been remarkably consistent on this throughout this campaign. when he was just a candidate, casting doubt on this essentially saying it was anybody but russia. what's striking about this is when he becomes president, if he has been so consistent in questioning and discrediting a 17 intelligence agencies, how does he look at them as credible once he is in office and how does he also have americans believe that they're credible institutions too. at some point he is going to need these folks, he is going to want to make an argument about using force or whatever it is, and so how does he

dot-com. >>> a cnn exclusive. digital finger prints indicate moscow was indeed behind the hack in the u.s. election season. pressure is growing for the president-elect donald trump to accept the mounting evidence of russia's involvement. >> the president-elect has all along cast doubt on the connection to russia with regard to the election hacking. he's also, though, saying most recently he's withholding judgment until he gets briefed, which will happen this week. let's get more on this with pamela brown and bob baer. pamela, first to you. this exclusive reporting on cnn that these digital fingerprints. what does this mean? >> this is another piece of evidence, new evidence, that is bolstering confidence among u.s. intelligence officials that russia is to blame for the election hack. essentially through an analysis of data of documents, officials were able to trace the hack to specific keyboards with text. the russian alphabet on the keyboard. they believe these keyboards were used to make the malware code that was used in the hacks during the election. and as one official said, though, this is just one piece of evidence. there are many pieces of the puzzle that

dotting the policy slate for our newly sworn in president. >> e.j., the president and the white house woke up to a scathing editorial in the "wall street journal" attacking donald trump for what they call his little -- trump's little mexican war. an then suddenly there's this day that certainly feels like reversal by the trump administration and a panicked attempt to do some kind of repair work with mexico. >> i think what you saw this week is the wreckage that government by impulse can create. first saying what he says about the wall, then we have a 20% import tax that they immediately abandon when as many, including you, pointed out that is not a tax on mexicans but a tax on us. and the really appalling thing here is that we have fouled up a relationship with one of our two immediate neighbors over what is a purely symbolic promise to build this wall that will cost us a lot of money and absolutely unfulfillable promise that mexico is going to pay for it. so as nick would say, the grownups in the white house grab the mexico file and said we can't go down this road. i'm sure they heard besides from the general a lot of business people saying what are you doing to thi
