that accounts say that he met with ambassador kislayak at the mayflower is false.id not happen. i think that's what you'll hear from the attorney general tomorrow. i think with regards to russia, this is going to be a big nothing burger, and i would really caution people about getting too out on their skis before jeff sessions' testimony tomorrow. >> first of all if he invokes executive privilege, which means he was full of it when he said he wanted to be in a public hearing. and it really tracks with donald trump's hearing, if you have done nothing wrong, so why would comey need executive privilege if he didn't do anything wrong. you are encouraged to overdisclose, anything you remember to put down. so it just seems odd to me in this climate at this moment, that you would have potentially three interactions of a sort with the ambassador of russia and you would not put them down. >> and about executive privilege, executive privilege does not belong to jeff sessions, executive privilege belongs to donald trump. so sessions cannot on his own just say i invoke executi

when sergey kislayak was in the white house did he raise this issue and stop it? >> reporter: there's not an indication that president trump has raised this with lavrov and kislayak. we're in an extraordinary position, no american president in the past would allow the russians to engineer a massive cyber attack on the united states during the elections, they respond, they investigate, thaw pull the nato alliance they're looking for american leadership and i support a lot of things on the hill, in the senate, if they want to do something in the way of sanctions. >> what sanctions can the u.s. do on the russians for trying to interfere in u.s. elections, or germany or france or italy or elsewhere? >> senator coi think the uniteds to work with the allies to learn the elections where the russians have attempted to interfere so that we can -- the french seem to have handled it best, they reacted very quickly to russian disinformation, and the french media also shouted down some of the prorussian disinformation attempts, so there are lessons for the media here, but also
