referring to your prior testimony and the national intelligence council's report, election interference is any attempt to affect the mechanical aspects like voter registration and vote results. dir. wray: that sounds right. i agree with you that it is important to make the distinction between interference and influence. rep. scanlon: i can give you a copy of the report if you would like. specifically, the march report said there was "no evidence," not through intelligence of foreign actors, not through cyber security monitoring of voting systems, not through postelection audits, and not through any other means that a foreign government or other actors had compromised election infrastructures to manipulate results. do stand by that? dir. wray: we contributed to the national intelligence estimate and stand that. rep. scanlon: my concern is not fictitious election interference which we know did not happen, but actual election influence which is propaganda designed to impact public opinion and the long-standing efforts to undermine public confidence and results by claiming the voting system

correspondent clarissa ward, who is in geneva and andrea kendall tailor, former national intelligence for russia and the intelligence council. part of the summit, the purpose is to put guardrails on the relationship. what does that even look like? >> yes, exactly. i think going into this summit, president biden is looking to basically create a stable and predictable relationship which is what he has said over and over. so the sheer fact the two leaders are sitting down and having this discussion is a critical guardrail that they can have that leader-to-leader channel of communication. it helps avoid misperception, miscalculation that can spiral into something more serious between the two countries. i think the other key guardrail they're going to look to discuss is each other's diplomatic presence in the two countries. so you had over the last several years this repeated tit-for-tat expulsions of each other's diplomats and closure of consulates. the two sides want to put an end to that so diplomacy can get back to functioning. that's an important guardrail in this relationship and finally, i think perhaps the most important

also as we did when i was on the national security council under president obama, look at selecttively releasing intelligence that would send a shot across the bow of the kremlin. saying, we understand domestically, you're under scrutiny for corruption and mismanagement. we can make that situation a lot worse. >> cnn's reporting is one of the potential goals is to exchange ambassadors again. russian ambassador in washington, u.s. ambassador there in moscow. considering your get tough stance, do you think that's the right time for that? >> i do. look, any time we can have an ambassador on the ground, it is welcome. i think we need someone who can engage at high levels in moscow with their counterparts. i think it's a shame, you know, mentioning ambassadors that we currently don't have any ambassadors to nato countries. we have got to get more ambassadors in the field and president biden has certainly been slow in getting out those names to congress and getting our people in the field. >> you know, obviously, vladimir putin is famous for his what-aboutism. he just engaged in it again today. he sat down with nb

intelligence ministry are appointed by the president. the president is also the head of the uranium national security council, which makes the countries more important decisions on. nevertheless, we have to remember that whoever becomes president is going to inherit some very complicated issues, such as the current negotiations on the nuclear deal. iranian economy suffering from very high inflation. ah, as well as people, as you mentioned disengaging from the election, especially if the turn out for the election is though, then that is also going to be a problem for the next present. interesting. and finally, just for international audience, can you give us a sense of the wider context hair in terms of how free are these elections given the candidates have to be vetted by? i believe it's the guardian council who, whose job is, are, are specifically chosen by the supreme leader. us also in the past 24 years actually union elections have been very heated. and i would say, relatively free. i mean, the candidates were very different from each other, whether it was tammy and not have new re 24 years ago. near what's in the study and asked me th

, and the intelligence community, law enforcement as well particularly my role as chair of the federal security council. looking forward to working with the newly created office of the national cyber director. it has been a tough few months for federal government, issuing multiple emergency directives and the in cd will have some fantastic capacity, strategic lens with an immediate impact. a lot of players here have got their role and our job is to coordinate well. >> sounds exciting. i know you are anxious to get going. i'm curious what your thoughts are because we know it is important to us in industry as well to you on building more efficient and effective public-private partnerships. >> absolutely. how i think about this is we have entered the digital age and our shared mission is managing risk and think about that, society has not impacted the risks we are facing a what it means for a national and economic security or optimal organized to address this risk between government and industry. in a lot of ways we are learning to do this risk management in his new era together and a lot of individuals are struggling to manage personal risks, no matter the potential cyber risk

national security agency, the broader intelligence community all with their hands in the mix. the creation of national cyber director, that is a great first step. a greater focus than national security councilfirst step. president biden's executive order that came out a couple weeks ago tries to bring those agencies together in a better way. i think that is important from the government's side. the place where this won't be as effect irv effective i think is with the private sector though it is important in counterterrorism in fact the vast majority of cyber ground that has to be protected is the private sector. that is going to require a different relationship than we had in the counterterrorism context. >> so you are out of the government now and you work and advise private sector clients how to deal with this threat. i assume you get some reluctance and resistance to sharing more information with the government whether to protect information from competitors, just we don't have a relationship with the government. what should the private sector be doing differently tomorrow that it is not doing today? >> that is absolutely true. the private sector is always worried about legal liability a

national security council. michael, always good to see you. we have very good intelligenceyears. if these iranian-backed militias have been using these sites to use drones to attack our personnel, why just now are these sites being taken out, michael? >> there have been a number of these attacks. this is -- i think there have been 24 attacks by these militia's against u.s. targets just since january. so we've only seen two u.s. response strikes. so the biden administration is trying to respond but to respond in frankly a pretty measured manner. likely because they don't want to see escalation between the united states and these groups and second because frankly when they do this, it does the end to prompt a strong negative reaction from the iraqi government which condemned the u.s. retaliatory strikes in the past 24 hours. >> trace: you use the word measured. i've heard that several times in the past day or so since the story broke it is a very measured response. what do you make of the timing of this now, michael? is it because we had this hard line regime that's about to
