is that what they are saying about these latest -- this latest reporting? >> reporter: yeah. so the white house isn't directly commenting on the saudi and putin calls. they are saying that, look, though, if we tried to restrict access, it's because of all these other leaks that happened early in the administration. and we should note, anderson, that a senior white house official did acknowledge early today, the nsc lawyers moved the now infamous ukraine call to the highly classified system. the official said it was handled appropriately. but we should note while classified, the ukraine call didn't contain that top secret information. all of this is raising further questions about who else in the white house was involved and why the white house selectively put head of state transcripts like the union one in this code-word system and not other transcripts. the white house just has not provided an explanation for that, so a lot to learn,
