let's go "outnumbered overtime," i am harris faulkner period president trump telling cbs news that he holds putin responsible for the kremlin's attempts to interfere in the 2016 election and that he believes the u.s. intelligence committee's assessment prayed he said that he directly worn to the russian leader during their one-on-one meeting in helsinki that we cannot have this, we are not going to have it, all of this comes after the president tried to clarify his remarks at that summit where he said he did not see any reason why it would be russia who meddled. here are more of the presidents interview and comments with cbs. >> you say that you agree with u.s. intelligence that russia meddled in the election in 2016. >> i have said that before, jeff, i have said that before. and i would say that that is true, yes. >> you have not condemned putin specifically. do you hold him personally responsible? >> well, i would, because he is in charge of the country. just like i consider myself responsible for things that happen in this country. so certainly as the leader of a country, you would

listen to harris faulkner. >> why do you feel it's necessary to get on the record with things that haven't been asked yet or that are not public yet? what's coming? >> well, when i thought -- when i thought -- when i thought it was going to be published, i wanted to get out in front of it. >> so apparently he thinks that there's a report coming. that report still hasn't surfaced, which is interesting because he's been on tv talking about it all day. you know rudy giuliani, why is he denying things? >> they did that when they thought the payment was going to come out to stormy daniels. and they did show that they know sometimes things are in the works. it is bizarre, though, because like you said, this isn't something that's coming out in a required report, this is just a potential news story, which we know if it's not to their advantage, they will immediately push back on and discredit or try to discredit. all i know is that if rudy giuliani is doing this, it means that they have a reason to be afraid and they are trying to muddle the waters. >> yeah, but if you -- i say hey, zerlina, do y

i'm harris faulkner.during this process you saw a couple of things come up with peter strzok and a couple of times he apologized for those nasty words about trump supporters. but the basis of this has been whether or not theres with bias inside the fbi given what he was text messaging with his lover and other text messages that we know have come up and so was there bias inside the f.b.i. the inspector general's report said not political bias. was there any other kind. trying to get to the heart of that on capitol hill this afternoon and straight away to katherine. katherine, one of the other points that i saw come up today, and maybe this was not the bombshell that it felt like on the outside of that hearing, i'm wondering what is being talked about on the hill but this person who admittedly is not an attorney peter strzok did not get any sort of legal advice, he said, they were not telling him exactly the words to write but he changed the words in the hillary clinton investigation from her being negligen

. >> as harris faulkner points out, no report exists right now. as of now there has been no reporting at all that michael cohen claims that there was another meeting. now, it comes on the heels of a busy weekend for the president, at least on twitter. in a trio of tweets rife with questionable claims he called the investigation a rigged witch hunt and an illegal scam. quote, is robert mueller ever going to release his conflicts of interest with respect to president trump, including the fact that we had a very nasty and contentious business relationship. i turned him down to head the fbi and comey is his close friend. so the big question we are asking today is, was there a strategy session before the trump tower meeting to discuss russian -- to discuss russian dirt on hillary clinton? kristen welker is at the white house where that joint press conference is about to take place. ken dilanian is an intelligence and national security reporter. jonathan verneer a white house reporter for "the associated press" and danny cevallos is an nbc legal analyst
