Intelligence community, meeting with the man that campaign was helping to elect. though their relationship has not perhaps been quite as smooth as president trump once hoped, both he and huten appear to be on the same page about russias role in the election, appearing alongside german chancellor angela merkel today, putin called the allegations of the interference, quote, simply rumors, echoing recent comments by the u.s. president. >> you dont think its funny that they, the russians, tried to m...

Plague against the jewish community centers. all of you know what a bot nut is. the zombie armies of computers taken over by criminals lashed together to do tremendous harm to people. last month the fbi working with our partners at the spanish police took one down anlocked up the russian hacker behind that who made a mistake that russian criminals sometimes make of leaving russia and visiting barcelona and hes now in jail in spain. and the good peoples computers have been freed of it. and the la...

This runs in the face of all of the evidence from our intelligence communities. >> it was absolutely a gift to the kremlin. it is worth reminding viewers that donald trump has been there before. this is not the first time he cast doubt on this high confidence assessment by all 17 intelligence agencies that moscow was behind this meddling in the election last year. in the third debate in october of last year president trump just casually dismissed the findings and said who knows? it could be the ...

My fan club. it was clear he interfered to hurt me and to help my opponent, and if you chart my opponent and his campaigns statements, they quite coordinated with the goals that that leader who shall remain nameless had. >> all this comes as the president appears to be taking an accommodating stance towards the kremlin these days. after acknowledging in january that he thought russia was responsible for meddling in the election, the president now seems to be extending more benefit of doubt. lets...

Important part. i suspect that is why he is trying to make a relationship with the philippine president. he wants to build allies as a wall of strength against north korea. it is hard to determine what the greater complex thing he is trying to make happen. >> david, you know, there is a consensus among all of the u.s. intel agencies that russia meddled in the u.s. election and was behind the hacking during the election. president trump has been reluctant to come around on that. here are his late...

Were going to have lower premiums. >> reporter: when in reality the draft bill would allow states to opt out of the requirement under certain conditions. meanwhile the trump administration is under fire for inviting the philippines authoritarian leader to the white house. rodrigo duterte has led a deadly crackdown on drugs that left thousands dead. >> good folks, bad folks, people we wish would do better in their country doesnt matter. weve got to be on the same page. >> reporter: the white hous...

>> proven right or proven wrong, i think he said. >> this is not accurate. i keep being reminded that youre entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts. the patrolmen problem is donald trump conflates opinion and fact. if he feels that way, then its true, and thats on the same level of the fbi director, the director of national intelligence, you know. its just, its not accurate, and yet, there are a lot of people who believe him and will not believe the two of us having this conversatio...

Continue with the fbi, that continue in four or five committees up in capitol hill. the president has been told and every senior member of his national security team has publicly said yes, russia meddled in our election. they leave no doubt that they trust the intelligence that russia did this. theres a big debate of collusion, thats the subject of the investigation. but on the threshold question, did russia do this, his own national security team very respected people all say yes. listen to the...
