Materials used by mr. Clapper and others available to them to brief donald trump but it was never discussed in the briefing. The briefing was oral, no place at trump tower to contain top secret documents. No documents were turned over. Intelligence officials go further and say as far as they are concerned, they agree that none of the investigations have foundny conclusionive or direct link between donald trump and the russian government period. Hallie jackson is at the News Conference, we got a preview of this News Conference already. We did. You could see tsts it was a tweet storm this morning with donald trump strongly denying this, calling it fake news and questioning whether we were living in nazi germany. I can tell you about 30 seconds ago, staffers came out filled with paper next to where hell be speaking. This is his First Press Conference as president elect, nearly six months. There are a lot of questions facing him, not just about on reporting on russia but how he will separa
News organizations here today because they looked at that nonsense that was released by may be the intelligence agencies. Who knows . May be the intelligence agencies would be a tremendous blot on their record if they did that. A thing like that should shoule never been written. It should never have been had and it should never have been released. I think its a disgrace that information will be left out. I saw the information. I read the information outside of that meeting. Its all fake news. Its phony stuff. It should be noted how abhorrent the actions taken by buzz feed are. They published the full text of the dossier. Without factchecking or cross sourcing anything. The editorinchief bends smith says there are serious reasons to doubt the allegations and published it anyway. Nbc universal has invested 400 million in the failing web site. Dana, these news agency as this dossier. How do you think they got it . s because i dont know. Several reporters have said they have been given it
The kremlin throughout the election. Its a lot to ask about, a lot to dive into. In addition there are so many issues that president elect trump has yet to address about tax reform, syria, and much more. He will have an opening statement, were told, we assume about resolving conflicts of interest, and then he will answer reporters questions. We dont know if a few reporters question or a lot of reporters questions. He reacted angrily on twitter today. Thats right, we reached out to the Transition Team to get a response about the Intelligence Committee report and the briefing on friday. We did not get a statement from the trump transition. But president elect trump did issue a statement later on, talking about fake news and a political witch hunt. We werent sure if he was talking about our report or the fact that other News Organization had printed i think fairly irresponsibly an entire dossier on which some of the annex that we referred to had been based. We now await president elect tr
Happen . And, of course, all of those other statements that he made on the campaign trail will be, in fact, follow through with them as the president . At the top we expect an announcement about how hes going to distance himself from his vast Business Empire. His potential conflict of interest that has loomed over the course of his campaign and this president ial transition. There may be fire works flying. Im told hes going to be calling on reporters at will. So this is going to be a free wheeling and likely long press conference, brian. Kristen welker, thank you. We can see you on the far right of the picture talking to us. And it appears some visual aids have been brought in and are being placed on a table adjacent to the lectern. Katy tur is with us in the studio. Shes covered the Trump Campaign n transition effort from the start. And we can assume there will be an Opening Statement, perhaps on both russia and on his finances. The latter was the expressed reason for having a News Co
Here on Fox News Channel we will cover president elect trumps News Conference as soon it begins, and you can see them heading to the stage right now. Lets get Fox Team Coverage on a very busy day, mike emanuel is on capitol hill, but we begin with Senior National correspondent, john roberts, live at trump tower in new york city. Good morning to you, weve got the twominute warning just about 2 minutes ago that this is about to start, now donald trump wont be the first person out, we understand that sean spicer, his incoming press secretary, will make some remarks, and that will be followed by his running mate, mike pence, who is the incoming Vice President , and then donald trump will start. Expecting an awful lot of pushbacks on the reports of the chiefs of the intelligence committees and a donald trump a two page dossier on information that russia allegedly had been compiling on him. This would be Opposition Research that would have compromising, salacious information included in it.
