I, and ammunition, must be disclosed to the airline prior to checking.

Kris, thank you. In another major story tonight, u. S. Intelligence has concluded that russian president Vladimir Putin ordered his military to help donald trump win the election. Today, the director of national k telligence took the unusual step of releasing an unclassified version of an investigation that details computer hacking, propaganda, and fake news articles. President elect trump was briefed on the classified report today, but he concluded that the hacking of sensitive Democratic Party files had no effect on the election. Homeland security correspondent jeff pegues is following this. 5 reporter the 25page report rates directly that russian president Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the u. S. President ial election. It started as a grudge against hillary clinton. Putin blamed the former y ofetary of state for inciting ross protests in russia against his government in 2011. Payback was Information Warfare that was multifaceted. It included Twitter Campaigns, propaganda, and fake news, and the hacks of state and local electoral boards and the Democratic National committee. Todays report was a declassified version of a longer report that was shared with president obama and president elect trump. That classified document pr detailed intercepts of russian officials congratulating each other on Donald Trumps victory. It also identified the russian actors who gave stolen data from democratic officials to wikileaks. Orvestigators point to the close relationship between wikileaks founder Julian Assange and the ssssian news network rt, which airs in the u. S. The report says a Russian Media executive went to london in 2013 and met assange in person. U. S. Intelligence says rt and wikileaks have collaborated several times since. As mr. Trump became the g. O. P. Nominee, the nature of the russian activities changed. Theres nothing i can think of that id rather do than have russia friendly, as opposed to the way they are right now. Reporter u. S. Officials believe putin and the russian government developed a clear preference for him, and then aspired to help president elect trumps election chances. But the kremlin still believed clinton would win, and it already put together a Twitter Campaign with the hashtag democracyrip, to discredit her victory. Late today, the department of Homeland Security declared election systems to be Critical Infrastructure which will give the agency greater oversight ber their cybersecurity. But, scott, no one believes the russian attacks compromised the vote tally. Pelley jeff pegues in the washington newsroom, jeff, thank you very much. Mr. Trump was briefed today by the directors of National Intelligence, the f. B. I. , the c. I. A. , and the National Security agency. Jan crawford has that. Reporter calling the briefing with top intelligence officials constructive, donald trump acknowledged russia, china, other countries, outside groups, and people are continuously trying to mount cyberattacks against the u. S. , but he declined to say whether at accepted the Intelligence Communitys conclusion that Vladimir Putin directed the getack. On thursday, director of National Intelligence james clapper, who is among top officials briefing mr. Trump, stopped short of saying the hacks had an impact on the elections outcome. Certainly the Intelligence Community cant gauge the impact it had on choices the electorate made. Theres no way for us to gauge that. Reporter in a statement, mr. Trump was adamant. There was absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election, including the fact that there was no tampering whatsoever with voting machines. The briefing came as mr. Trump for weeks has cast doubt on the Intelligence Community. They have no idea if its russia, or china or somebody. It could be somebody sitting in a bed someplace. Reporter before the meeting, which lasted nearly two hours, he told the New York Times he selieved the intense focus on n e russian cyberattacks was a ntlitical witchhunt by his opponents to undermine his presidency. They got beaten very badly in the election, mr. Trump told the times. Thhey are very embarrassed about it. Vice president elect mike pence was also in the meeting. Were going to take aggressive action in the early days of our new administration to combat cyberattacks and protect the security of the american people. Reporter now, despite his public criticism, mr. Trump also said today, scott, that he has tremendous respect for the work and service done by the men and women of the Intelligence Community. Pelley jan crawford for us y jght. Thank you very much. During the campaign, mr. Trump also said that he would stop orcigal immigration by forcing mexico to pay for a wall. But today, it appears mr. Trump expects american taxpayers to pick up the tab first. Nancy cordes has that. We will build the wall 100 . cheers reporter it was perhaps his most memorable campaign promise, uttered hundreds of times on the trail. And, who is going to pay for the wall . Mexico they may not know it yet, but the answer is mexico. Reporter but today, mr. Trump appeared to acknowledge that americans, not mexicans, would likely write the check, peaiming, any money spent on building the great wall, for sake of speed, will be paid back by mexico later. Its the latest campaign reversal for mr. Trump, who has also backed off vows to ban muslim immigration, create a Deportation Force because youd be in jail. Reporter . And prosecute clllary clinton. I dont want to hurt them. Theyre good people. I dont want to hurt them. U reporter the wall came up today because g. O. P. Lawmakers are looking at reviving a 2006 law that authorized but never funded a 700mile border barrier. Cost estimates range from hundreds of millions, to more than a billion. Indiana republican luke messner. Listen, its big dollars, but if this is a priority for our country, then we should fund it. Reporter on cbs this morning, trumps senior elviser, kellyanne conway, insisted theres been no flip flop. And if congress is trying to find different ways to fund this project, that is a top priority to president trump, then they should do that. Reporter it was never totally clear how mr. Trump planned to force mexico to pay for a wall it doesnt want. Its even less clear today, scott, how he could compel mexico to repay the United States after the wall is already built.
