used, two things. hacking, like what happened in the united states, hacking into the imo's of the democratic national committee and sending out emails. the other option that the russian intelligencegencies may use is different permission and -- this information and fake , as, and distribute that they are, apparently, according to the senate intelligence committee, right now in france and germany. >> meanwhile, another blow to u.s. president donald trump's second attendant -- attempted travel ban. extended ahawaii block on the travel ban. >> donald trump's travel ban, once again, looks like it is heading nowhere. it was suspended earlier in hawaii in march. now, a federal judge has decided to extend the injection. it will hold until the lawsuit is being resolved. hawaii's attorney general says the order was clearly determined choice. -- discriminatory -- . >> [indiscernible] hawaii lawmakers argued that the executive order undermines towards him and him pete the state from attracting tourists and foreign workers. the order blocked refugees from entering for 120 days. subsequent deportations and protests caused almost immediate chaos at u.s. airports. once the first version was put

that's the committee will go wherever the intelligence leads us. you can continue to ask us 30 different ways about a person. trust me, when we have them scheduled, we will tell you. you won't have to beat it out of us. we hope to make updates a periodic thing. but we're not going to do them unless we've got something to share with you that's educational. that shows you a little bit of the road map we're going down. it's just right now we're not at a point where we can tell you that's every two weeks or three weeks or a month. we want to do it based upon the changing conditions of the investigation. >> my last comment, a comment i made before, we started this, we saw the scope and what was involved. i said it was the most important thing i'd ever taken on in my public life. i believe that more firmly now than even when we started. we're going to get it right, thank you. >>> this morning, the senate intelligence committee begins looking into russian influence on elections and internal politics. both here and in other countries. today's hearing is di
