Sense? if they were trying to cover anything up, they might have instructed her not to talk about it. but shes saying they havent told her one way or the other. >> perhaps the single most important issue with bilateral relations with russia and the united states is their meddling in our election process, hacking into databases to interfere and influence that election thats profound. and her answer is what do you want me to say to them? i can give you a list of instruction it is she wants one. li...

Make sure we did not do the work of the leakers for them by raising more and more questions about the integrity of the election right before the election was taking place. in early september when i saw president putin in china, i felt that the most effective way to ensure that that didnt happen was to talk to him directly. and tell him to cut it out and there were going to be serious consequences if he didnt. and, in fact, we did not see further tampering of the election process. but the leaks t...

President barack obama. mr. trump is reacting to a bombshell report from "the washington post" that detailed how the obama white house responded to russian interference in the u.s. election and also says that the call came from the top, from vladimir putin to disrupt and basically interfere with the election process. >> the report said that the cia first told president obama about the russian sbrchs and president trump wrote on twitter since the obama administration was told way before the 2016 ...

Obama administration knew far in advance of november 8th about election meddling by russia. did nothing about it. why? so you spoke to the fact that he, its not that he didnt do anything about it, he did do some things about it but lets listen together to jeh johnson, the former homeland security secretary as he was talking to the house intel committee about why they didnt go public with this at the time. >> one of the candidates as youll recall, was predicting that the election was going to be ...

That concern in the administration that that would look like it was politically motivated. like he was putting his thumb on the scale. and you also had concerns about just public faith in the election process in general. and when you had donald trump out there talking about a rigged election, having democrats and the president come out and say well russia is also trying to interfere in this election, that wouldnt necessarily restore the publics faith in whatever the outcome was going to be. >> w...

>> in the first 30 days, a review of the election process. >> that was the thing about illegal aliens, illegal immigrants. >> its elections all together, specifically have to do with ids. >> it was just recently discussed. >> like i said we have this commission thats going to touch those processes but when you look at what took place last october and november, it was a total failure the obama administration. >> so hes put together this thing focussed largely on what he calls voter fraud. >> well...

Hillary clinton was going to win. i think a lot of people decided not to turn out and vote or some people voted third party who would have not if they thought donald trump was going to win. but the whole system didnt work here. i think between national security, law enforcement, the administration, even the campaign, i think even the news media, i dont think any of us knew how to handle this situation. its really important that we understand what happened, and look back. but i think we need to b...

In part because theyre so decentralized. and the numbers of votes involved. theres no evidence that that has happened in the past. or that there are instances in which that will happen this time. and, so, id advise mr. trump to stop whining and try to go make his case to get votes. >> but general hayden, president obama surely knew at the time, according to "the post" that the russians were trying to tap into 21 different states electoral systems and at a minimum to foment chaos and to screw wit...

Across this world. and, you know, it just -- its important for the president to sit down and learn about what exactly happened here and what the russians did to try to interfere with our election process. i think this president somehow thinks that in some ways this is all, you know, collusion by the democrats, collusion by others to try to show that he really didnt win the election. you know what? thats over. hes president of the united states. hes been elected president of the united states. th...

And why hes so reticent to talk on russia. i asked leon panetta about it in part two of our conversation. the white house attempted to answer the lingering question whether the president agrees with the assessment of the entire intelligence community that russia did, in fact, interfere with the election and the best sarah huckabee sanders could do is to say that he probably agrees with it. is that enough? that theres not a declared statement from the president on this? >> you know, when you have...
