ok that's what kind of people thought and that's that's what i ask because that praise is that jake tapper is even handed he is neutral he's all of that but one of the things you talk about and one of the things that's really important to look at is how that even handedness that guy is of neutrality is actually pretty morally dishonest can you kind of walk us through that idea yeah i mean first of all could do goes on a date with one woman and then writes a whole article about it like that's bizarre like you just ok that's just weird i don't even know what else to say and it's not exactly true. yes really.

jake? >> all right. thank you so much. >>> the justice department taking the rare step of releasing top secret documents about carter page. was the former trump campaign aide a russian stooge or is he set up by the deep state? >>> president trump on the rhetorical warpath again. over the week, the justice department released a redacted version of the fisa application to conduct surveillance of former adviser carter page. the application and three renewals accused him of collaborating and conspireing with the russian government and it contradicts the president's claims that the steele dossier was the lone piece of evidence that led to the warrant and renewal. cnn's manu raju reports from capitol hill. >> reporter: tonight, newly redeesed documents detailed the fbi's suspicion that former trump campaign adviser carter page was an agent of the russian government. undercutting house intelligence chairman new necessary's claim that the intelligence used to obtain a secret warrant was biassed. >> this is outra

all day and i now and looked at jake tapper as being this like well yes he's fighting for the middle ok that's what kind of people thought and that's that's what i ask because that praise is that jake tapper is easy even handed he is neutral he's all of that but one of the things you talk about and one of the things that's really important to look at is how that even handedness that guy is that neutrality is actually pretty morally dishonest can you kind of walk us through that idea yeah i mean first of all we could do goes on a date with one woman and then writes a whole article about it so like that's bizarre like you just ok that's just weird i don't even know what else to say. to the article really tell her that yeah you know but well i mean the reason he writes it after lewinsky becomes this at the center of a scandal right perfect for his you know social climbing in washington and so is his centrism and he'll go wherever the center is and as we know the center is constantly moving to the right especially on foreign policy so toppers affected this image is trump's greatest untag

i'm jake tapper. if you thought what happened yesterday in helsinki was stunning, well, president trump has taken things to an entirely different level claiming he did not actually side with vladimir putin over u.s. intelligence agencies. why? well, he says because of two tiny letters. yesterday. the president said would and today he says he had meant wouldn't. but just minutes ago president trump under fire from loyal republican apologists. what he's been saying for years. this afternoon the president said he accept it is assessment that russians interfered in the 2016 u.s. election and i want you to take real attention here. pay real attention. even in the president's assertion, note, president trump also made an aside. not in the prepared remarks that completely undermined the assertion he was making. the assertion was that he accepts it's russia. but then he noted that it could have been other people, too. completely contradicting the intelligence community. take a listen. >> i accept our intellig

>> reporter: good evening, jake. well here at nato headquarters in brussels, there is growing anxiety about what will happen tomorrow when president trump sits down with his fellow heads of state. president donald trump still bitterly complaining about the alliance that's provided much of u.s. and european security for nearly 70 years. >> we spend at least 70% for nato and, frankly, it helps them a lot more than it helps us. >> reporter: it's all raising the question of president trump really is prepared to up-end the global world order that's had the support of generations of u.s. presidents. and has supported u.s. forces across countless battlefields. >> europe was first to respond on the large-scale when the u.s. was attacked and called for solidarity after 9/11. european soldiers have been fighting shoulder to shoulder with american soldiers in afghanistan. >> reporter: today's rhetoric mimics trump's 2016 campaign claims. >> the u.s. must be prepared to let these countries defend themselves. we have no choice. >

>> jake, it's really spin. i mean, i sat in on some meetings but to call me an adviser, i think is way over the top. >> except in the 2013 letter you wrote -- it says quote over the past half year i had the privilege to serve as informal adviser to the staff of the kremlin in preparation for the g-20 next month where energy issues will be top of the agenda. calling yourself an informal adviser to the kremlin. >> informal having some conversations with people. this is really nothing and just an attempt to distract from the real crimes that are shown in this misleading document. page 8 it talks about disguised propaganda including the planting of false or misleading articles which is exactly what this is. that's kinds of the pot calling the kettle black by mr. comey. >>. documents make it clear they were relying on information from christopher steel and not only on information in christopher steel, a fisa warrant and three renewals, officials of both the obama administration and trump administration over several

i want to play what president trump said this morning -- >> jake, first of all -- >> yeah. >> jake, let me make clear, i'm not afraid to come on cnn so even if the white house doesn't want to send someone, i'm happy to be on your show. >> we appreciate it, sir. i want to play for you what president trump said about the 12 russian military officials indicted. let's take a listen. >> this was during the obama administration. they were doing whatever it was during the obama administration. i think the dnc should be ashamed of themselves for allowing themselves to be hacked. they had bad defenses. and they were able to be hacked but i heard they were trying to hack the republicans too. but this may be wrong, but they had much stronger defenses. >> senator warner, obviously the russians are responsible for russian actions but looking at the indictment and everything we know now about the russian election interference, in retrospect, shouldn't president obama in his administration done much more? >> jake, our committee will allay o layout what the obama administration and fbi should have done

i'm jake tapper. we're beginning with the bombshell breaking news, deputy attorney general rod rosenstein dropping the stunning information this afternoon ahead of president trump's summit monday with russia's president vladimir putin. a grand jury indicted today 12 russian military intelligence officers for allegedly conspiring to interfere in the 2016 u.s. presidential election, specifically the effort was to hack into the systems of the democratic nationality committee and the campaign of hillary clinton, get information, and distribute that information to affect the election. it charges a sophisticated assault on the united states election by russian military officers working in their official capacities as government officials, presumably with the okay of russian president vladimir putin. an operation national security officials say could not have happened without his approval. let's begin with cnn's shimon prokupecz. >> reporter: jake, the 12 russian military officers are named in this indictmen

i'm jake tapper.ce president trump won't tell anyone, including apparently the top intelligence official in the country what he said, what he may have agreed to with vladimir putin, democrats are looking to that interpreter to find out what he said. of course republicans have shut down that idea. they are trying to find the right candidate to battle the brawler with the bully pulpit. former u.s. marine officer and democratic congressman seth molton from massachusetts. obviously there's been by partisan criticism on trump's foreign policy this week. i want you to take a look from democratic senator tammy duckworth from illinois. it says republicans cannot continue to turn a blind eye to the very real possibility that vladimir putin has compromised and turned him without his knowledge into a russian asset. do you agree with that, congressman? >> i think the problem is we just don't know, jake, and that's what's so embarrassing about this situation. i don't know of a time in american history, when an ame

i'm jake tapper. the assertions about russian cyberattacks are not limited it turns out to what happened in 2016. we also learned today that the president's doubting of his intelligence agencies applies the cyberattacks right now. the president this afternoon when asked if russia is targeting the united states said, no. take a listen. >> is russia still tar getting the u.s., mr. president? >> make your way out. >> no? you don't believe that's the case? >> to recap, the reporter said is russia still targeting the united states, mr. president? the president says, thank you very much, no? she says, no? you don't believe that to be the case? he says, no. that seems to be a stunning turn around. >> the warning lights are blinking red. again. the day the digital infrastructure that serves this country is literally under attack. in regards to state actions, russia has been the most aggressive foreign actor. no question. and they continue their efforts to undermine our democracy. >> this afternoon, press secr

jake? >> jeff zeleny, in london. let's check with the group here.e president says he didn't criticize theresa may, there would be no need to apologize, i suppose. >> yeah. it boggles the mind. there's audio. he did this interview, he did criticize her. he has come after her. i can't imagine this happening in reverse, right? like a british prime minister going and criticizing the president and what did happen. >> while in the united states. >> while in the united states, no less and how the white house reacted. >> they probably wouldn't have had the press conference. >> probably would have canceled the whole thing. it actually shows how important the united states is to britain as an ally. she grinned and beared it. he did say bad things about her, it's a fact. >> this is not the first time donald trump has been caught on tape and not going to be the last. >> right. right. >> i don't think we should under estimate the impact that this could potentially have on theresa may. as early as monday, there were talks of a vote of no confidence in her as prim

i'm jake tapper. >> i'm christiane amanpour. we're hours away from the meeting between the two presidents. that will happen right behind us in the finnish presidential palace. right now they're in the finnish presidential residence. >> where president trump is having a working breakfast with finland's president. this is just moments ago. the shots you're looking at right now, this is expected to last about an hour before trump heads to his meeting with president putin. earlier mr. trump was on twitter referring to the russian investigation. he said the "relationship with russia has never been worse thanks to many years of u.s. foolishness and stupidity. and now the rigged witch hunt," a remarkable statement from the president of the united states blaming the investigation into the russian cyber attack on the united states and not blaming the cyber attack itself. president trump says he'll ask mr. putin about russian interference in the 2016 election. he's more focused on the investigation than he is on the actual cyber attack. o

that experience that jake talked about, he's been there. he's been behind the scenes. i think he took a strong hand in his own nomination because, remember, this was a man who was identified with george w. bush in every way. he worked there as staff secretary. he had worked in the white house counsel's office. he married george bush's personal secretary. he had worked in the george h.w. bush administration. donald trump had to get over that to pick him. >> it obviously took some time. he wasn't on the first two offerings in 2016. >> but that gets me to my point about what kind of witness he can be for himself. okay. he opened tonight by first saluting the president, saying, you've talked to more people than any other president. >> which he would know. >> we know that you know presidents and how they do this. first he saluted him, but then he quickly pivoted to the bush white house and also his own independence. and i think that he will try to be the best witness for himself, of course. but i have to tell you, remember when chuck schumer said that -- chuck schumer presi

i'm jake tapper. this afternoon, a speak to the vfw president trump told veterans to ignore what the news media is reporting about the economy as the president pushes the u.s. toward a trade war. >> just stick with us. don't believe the crap you see from these people. the fake news. just remember, what you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening. >> it seemed a clear and concise mission statement of sorts for the trump presidency. quote, stick with us. just remember what you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening. and while these specific remarks were about the economy and journalists, they also encapsulate the attitude president trump has towards all subjects and all voices that are not his. disturbingly, that holds true for the subject of the security of the united states. because also today after denying and then admitting and then denying russian election interference in the 2016 presidential election president trump tried something new. he tweeted, quote, i'm

jake tapper is with me.ed just moments ago by the special counsel before a grand jury. robert mueller, part of the russia investigation, indictments filed against more russians. >> yeah, it's a remarkable turn of events. it comes just hours after president trump referred to the mueller probe, again, as a witch hunt, and just a few days before he meeting with russian president vladimir putin. the president has said he will bring up the election meddling of 2016, but he has not said it in a way that many republicans on capitol hill wish it would be more aggressive. he's said it in terms of almost as if he's going to reluctantly bring it up. he said today he doesn't expect putin -- he doesn't expect a perry mason moment where putin admits doing it. many terms of president trump calling this a witch hunt, before these new indictments, these russian individuals, mueller had already brought forward 79 criminal charges against 20 individuals and three companies resulting in five guilty pleas and one sentencing. so

jake, thank you very much for joining us. as you know, the president was asked if he holds russia accountable for anything as far as these allegations are concerned. i want you to watch his response. >> i hold both countries responsible. i think that the united states has been foolish. i think we have all been foolish. we should have this dialogue a long time ago. a long time, frankly, before i got to office and i think we're all to blame. i do feel that we have both made some mistakes. i think that the probe is a disaster for our country. i think it's kept us apart. it's kept us separated. there was no collusion at all. everybody knows it. people are being brought out to the fore. so far, that i know, virtually none of it related to the campaign and will have to try hard to find somebody that did relate to the campaign. i beat hillary clinton easily and, frankly, we beat her and i'm not even saying from the standpoint we won that race and it's a shame that there could be a little bit of a cloud over it. people know that. peo

ohh no, jake. seresto. 8 month - seresto, seresto, seresto. >>> the latest job numbers show the bay area job market remains strong. all nine bay area counties had on employment below 5% last month. san mateo county's rate was the lowest at 2.5% followed by san francisco at 2.6%. solano county came in with the highest unemployment at 4.2% which matched the statewide rate which was actually a record low for california. >>> some companies are offering summer perks to keep their workers happy. one of those perks, summer fridays, let's people leave the office early or work from home. 46% of companies now offer their employees some version of summer fridays. that is up 30% from six years ago. >> let's be honest. friday at 5 pm, during the summer is not our most productive time anyway. >> as long as you keep your employees happy, they will do work for you at a higher level. >> reporter: companies struggle to reach many of the customers on friday afternoon. >>> the company that makes ritz crackers has issu

>> i don't disagree, jake. i think in light of the indictment and because of the indictment it is really important to meet today. trying a different approach or trying to get something better started with russia is always a good thing. i don't dispute that. that said, what bothers me is trump is going in with blinders on or rose-colored glasses. i don't think he fully understands the scope and depth of russian activity and malign intent in the middle east and world. he is naive going into this. >> you heard the impression from dan coates and others take a hard line against russia. a good cop-bad cop situation. trump willing to criticize putin and the rest of the administration does. >> there is a schizophrenia here. that is not an agenda. there is a schizophrenia here. you see the same with russia as with north korea. the administration has given ukraine lethal arms. they kept in place sanctions. they expelled 60 diplomats. an argument can be made that president trump's team has been tough on putin. mr. trump c

listen, it's a complicated world we live in, jake. what i'm hoping is the trump agenda on the scales of all these things, the trump agenda and all the good things happening in the economy will outweigh all the stuff going on right now. >> anthony, as someone who knows both of them, you have michael cohen according to sources claiming that president trump knew ahead of time about the trump tower meeting with russians. you have president trump denying it repeatedly publicly. who do you believe? >> that's a good question. listen, it's not clear to me michael leaked that. so i'm going to stay on the side of the president here. i'm going to take the president at his word that he didn't know. i was in the campaign during that period of time. there was a major flurry of activity. you have to go back, jake, back to june of 2016 where one of the things that the campaign was worried about, and this is something paul manafort, frankly, was working on, is to make sure the president's electoral success state by state was going to be matched at the

is that jake tapper is easy even handed he is neutral he's all of that but one of the things you talk about and one of the things that's really important to look at is how that even handedness that guy is that neutrality is actually pretty morally dishonest can you kind of walk us through that idea yeah i mean first of all could do goes on a date with one woman and then writes a whole article about it like that's bizarre like you just ok that's just weird i don't even know what else to say and he's not going to go down this date to write the article but do you really tell her that yet you know but well i mean the reason he writes it after lewinsky becomes this at the center of a scandal really that perfect for his you know social climbing in washington and so is his centrism and he'll go wherever the center is and as we know the center is constantly moving to the right especially on foreign policy so tapper is affected this image is trump's greatest untag interest in mainstream media is his ratings have gone up something like fifty eight percent since trump has been elected and then h

let's talk more about the debut in hong kong trading today, with us is jake saunders, vice president of asia-pacific and advisory services at abi research jake, let's talk about this idea that it feels like maybe a rush to ipo given the idea that we have a u.s. china trade spat going on right now what was the driving force behind it and why did we see the valuation we did at the low end of the range and adrift lower in trading as well? >> certainly, i think they wanted to use the funds to expand his international strategy he's done tremendously well in the chinese market and has put a strong foothold in the indian market it's the top number one smartphone seller in the indian market but has aspirations for indonesia, also europe and also united states. wanted to put funds together to me, there's goals it actually hasn't achieved a tremendous amount. but it does have a number of hurdles to overcome. >> why, jake, the weakness today in this public day liebudebut? is it because of everything evolving around trade in the u.s. and china, or is it something else not seeing the growth story

jake, let me start with you. is there precedent for a president essentially revoking security clearance as a punishment for public criticism of the president? >> unsurprisingly, chris, there's not precedent for that. a president doesn't get to pick and choose whose security clearances he revokes because he doesn't like what they say about him. and in fact, if you take a step back and think about this, this is the white house basically saying that security clearances will be granted and revoked based on whether or not people criticize the president. that is deeply un-american. but we should also remember that i think this is all part of an effort by the white house basically to distract from all of the other news that's swirling out there, from manafort to michael cohen to vladimir putin. and so we have to keep our eye on the ball. we should criticize this but we shouldn't dwell on it too long because i think it's mostly a stunt. >> i think the tipoff that it's a stunt was they said names, mieke, of people who don
