Publicly and said that russia did intervene or interfere in our election process. that is not tolerable. and i think with what you reported earlier and what weve seen with these three other candidates being already hacked this year, if indeed this does go back to russians that are in the russian military or government, absolutely not. i dont think we should invite president putin over here at this time. i do agree we should have relationships with all leaders of all nations. but if its something...

There was some bipartisanship today. the senate voted 98-0 to let the president know they didnt support him in turning over a former ambassador to russia. is it that far out? >> i dont know if its necessarily the line, i want to be clear. what russia is d in meddling in our elections isnt democrat or republican or independent thing, if you will. this is an issue that confronts all americans. something all americans, regardless of political party should be concerned about, the integrity of our el...

Our elections isnt a democrat or a republican or independent thing, if you will. its -- this is an issue that confronts all americans and something all americans regardless of political party should, in fact, be concerned about, the integrity of our election process. i think what you saw the senate do today is say, hey, that is just not something we do and the senate remembered that, oh, theyre a branch of government and they can do a -- speak directly to him laejs laivly, and this is, in fact, ...

Good. none of us want another cold war. i dont think president trump wants that either. i appreciate he backtracked on his comments on monday. he conceding the meddling in our election process occurred. hes not naive to that. he continues to surround himself with tough advisors like director coats and secretary pompeo and mattis. as long as he leads that advice, im hopeful conversations will move in the right direction. >> theyre also speaking out which the american public can take advantage of ...

Intelligence communitys conclusion that russias meddling in the 2016 election took place could be other people also -- could be other people also? what does he know that you dont know? >> well, "could" is not a definitive word here that -- could someone else be looking at how to do this? re toiv our re toiv o relative to this, other rogue states, could be, but its undeniable that the russians are taking the lead on this and basically the ones trying to undermine our basic values, divide us with ...

>> couldnt be more clear, was not aware that president trump was planning a second summit in washington, d.c. lets just stop and say the obvious here. it is shocking and should be shocking to anyone who hears this. the presidents top intelligence chief finds out from a reporter in a live broadcast in a room full of reporters that his boss donald trump invited putin to washington for take two who is responsible for -- lets listen to how coats put it today. >> its undeniable that the russians are ...

It is undeniable that the russians are taking the lead on this basically, theyre the ones that are trying to undermine our basic values that divide us with our allies. theyre the ones that are trying to wreak havoc over the election process. we need to call them out on that. it is critical that we do so and then take steps to make sure that theyre not able to do this with the election coming up. learn the lessons from the past, put in place things that we need to put in place in terms of making ...

Over our election process. we need to call them out on that. its critical. >> reporter: coats also said it was a mistake for trump to meet privately with vladimir putin. >> if he had asked me how that ought to be conducted, i would have suggested a different way. but thats not my role. >> reporter: asked whether he considered resigning, coats said this? >> as long as im able to have the ability to seek the truth and speak the truth, im on board. >> reporter: the extraordinary comments came as tr...
