the trump administration has a significant problem. in that donald trump has holdings globally including in russia. his statements about russia have me greatly concerned, have many members of congress greatly concerned because russia is not our ally or friend. they are a bully. they need to be treated that way. you have got to stand up to a bully, and you have got to make sure that they understand that the leader of the free world will be there with our democratic allies. and first and foremost, mr. trump needs to insulate himself from his business interests. and i age induced the clause yesterday to make a resolution that the only way the incoming president can do this and adhere to the constitution of the united states, which is the oath he will take on january the 20th, is to make sure that his business holdings are removed from his control. there are two ways to do that, a blind trust or to divest. and i am hopeful that he will take those steps. now i am mindful of the statement he made just today or last night that he will set up a

just to recap about intelligence in the coming trump administration, obviously it was reported that the cia briefed to some senators that there was a tweak on an earlier assessment they had made, that russia had indeed directed hacks against the democratic national committee, hillary clinton, and other organizations, for the purpose of interfering with u.s. elections. that was the unanimous conclusion intelligence officials came to in october. now the cia says yes, we think it was done to boost donald trump's chances of winning and to diminish hillary clinton's campaign. there is some daylight between the cia and fbi position, which are not necessarily too sure that they share that view. after the story cannot, donald trump put out a statement saying that the cia essentially don't believe them, these are the same people that got it wrong about saddam hussein and weapons of mass destruction. it didn't take long for intelligence officials to fire back with their own statements. i think what we have is unprecedented, at the very least an extraordinary rupture between the president-elect an

if this doesn't suggest the policies will change under the trump administration, that is yet to be seen. state news has weighed in. one op-ed was penned and that up ended the protocol. the times writes china should understand trump has two faces. one hand, he is bluffing and on the other, he had no plan to overturn international relationships. he will focus on internal affairs to make america great again. that is certainly the hope from beijing. they hope that campaign talk is just that. talk. they hope that phone call with the president of taiwan does not signal more significant changes to the longstanding relationship. >> something tells me this could be the beginning of the drama. alexandra field, thank you. >>> donald trump is taking a unique approach to zeroing in on a new secretary of state. instead of narrowing the field of candidates, he is expanding. trump insiders tell cnn mitt romney and rudy giuliani are still under consideration and petraedavid petraeus is also a contender. now the former governor of utah is reportedly in the mix. the president-elect's top aides say the sea
