Denied the allegations and the president says he believes him. Live in hanoi this morning and our international corresponde correspondent. Lets start with jeff, what do you know of what the president said in that discussion with Vladimir Putin . Good morning, we are hearing this from President Trump who flew just arrived in hanoi a couple moments ago. He did talk to reporters on air force one and he said specifically about his conversation with Vladimir Putin, he said he had a brief conversation. I am going to read you some quotes that we had from President Trump. This was off camera. This was just some comments the president made. Putin said this, he did not medel and he did not. You can only ask him so many times. He absolutely did not meddal in the election. Every time he sees me, i believe him. Victor, this is a bit of a sound track of the last several months of the trumps presidency. The reality is, all u. S. Intelligence agencies agreed there was. The fact that the president is still asking if he did is beyond the point there. Without question, sort of the meeting, the brief meeting two leaders had. President trump went onto say, the reason he wants a good working relationship with Vladimir Putin is with north korea. He wants putin help to confront the regime along with china so this is why trump is not questioning the meddling. This is similar to them meeting earlier this summer at the g20 summit where President Trump agreed to stipulate to the fact that Vladimir Putin said he did not meddle. Certainly so different from what u. S. Intelligence and officials believe, of course, of the special counsel believes and investigators on capitol hill believe that there is meddling. Matthew, we understand that you had the opportunity to talk to putin about questions. One of the questions being discussed moments ago was what was the two leaders talked about. They met briefly. Putin was asked, what was that they discussed during that meeting. He said they spoke about Security Issues and syria and Economic Corporation which is almost at zero levels for the United States and russia. At in point the jury answer the question, did Vladimir Putin was confronted again of the issue of allegations of russia meddling in the u. S. President ial election and tried to clarify the matter a few seconds ago before i came on the air. Hes the press spokesperson for Vladimir Putin. Hes always on his side. I said to him look, to the best of your knowledge and as far as you know, did the two leaders discuss this issue at all of an election meddling and he came back with a category plan no, so there is a real difference in the sort of interpretation if you want to call it about what was actually discussed between President Trump and putin during this summit. Back to you. Matthew, we want to listen here of president putin. Translator it says the relations between rush lsia ande u. S. Have not come out of the crisis state. We are prepared to turn the page and look into the future to solve the problems that are interests of people of the United States and the federation to think of fulfilling our in this case revelations. Just look at st. Petersburg. There was the greatest number of American Companies there. Everyone wants to work in russia but the exxon mobile was banned from working and shell cutoff work that would increase economic power and bringing jobs in the United States and would have brought taxes and etcetera, this is just an example. Taken into consideration of frictions of financing and many other examples, your place will be taken over by competitors. It is unavoidable in the modern world. We want to have harmonious relations with the United States. Matthew, what wthat was the you got after you asked your question. People are joining us as we here, the president said he was asked with his conversation with Vladimir Putin. He said he did not meddle. I cannot stand there and argue with him. He cannot be aggressive President Trump is saying. Do we know these conversations did the meddling came up once or multiple times . Well, according to the Vladimir Putin himself and the person that, the issue of meddling did not come up. When they last met in june, earlier this year, and from this occasion, it is not something that either Vladimir Putin or theyre talking about. Vladimir putin spoke a little bit more of what he thought of donald trump during this closed door meeting that he gave at the end of this apex summit. He said he was an educated person and he behaved correctly and he said that he was comfortable to work with. Even though there was a high degree of frustration of the russian side of the one on one meeting, like a sitdown meeting. It was interesting that Vladimir Putin still had words o f praise and donald trump. Hes frustrated and he basically said unwilling to sort of reset the relationship between russia and the United States. Matthew, standby for us. I want to bring in jeff back into the conversation. Jeff, the entire intelligence a apparatus, agreed that the election was interfered by restitutiothe russians. Why did the president bring this up again . Democrats and officials stipulated the fact that yes, indeed there is meddling in the election. The only question was is there coordination and collusion in the campaign. Thats the heart of investigation going on across washington. It is something that has hung over this president the fact that he and virtually he alone has not stipulate to the fact that this has not happened and it comes up to an heissue of hi mind. President trump agreeing to the fact that there was meddling in the election and Going Forward and fix it, that would put it off the table but the fact that President Trump has not yet acknowledge the feedback what visually what all other people have of russian meddling, this keeps this at the top of the conversation here. It distracts from conversations that american leaders should be having with russian president about north korea and economic issues. It is one of the reasons that i believe the white house was not as reluctant a former sitdown with Vladimir Putin. This was a back and forth yesterday, we knew they had conversations at the sideline. This is the russia cloud hanging over the entire white house is really affecting actual policy and government. All right, jeff zeleny and matthew in danang, thank you both. Now, joining to roy moore strongly denied sexual abuse allegations against him and he pledges to stay in the race, what do voters in alabama think . We are there live, next.

This morning, there is fierce denial from roy moore of his accusation of sexual abused. Members are distancing himself and many are saying moore would have to leave this race. Bannon is pledging to stick with moore. Until i see additional evidence on judge moore, we stand with him. Cnns Martin Savidge is live in alabama. Bannon is echoing what a lot of people are saying. Very true, richard. Good morning to you. You may see that on a national scale, the Republican Party does appear to be stepping away from the support of roy moore. The alabama gop does not. Today they got a major effort under way, it is called a state line doorknob. It is essentially to notify republicans to get out to vote or get them to encourage to vote for roy moore. Thats not changing today. Clearly, the local party is not changing their attitude and it is clear that the candidate himself are not changing. Reporter roy moore taken to a conservative talk radio making a strong denial of the accusations against him including a sexual abused of a 14yearold girl. This these allegations are false. It hurts me personally because i am a father and i have one daughter. I have five granddaughters i have concerns of young life. This is really hard to get on radio and explain this as these allegations are false. Moore said he had no recollections of the accuser, when she was 14 and moore was 32, he undressed and sexually abused her. I dont know miss coriman and i never interacted her. One question is true, should moore step out of the race . If it is true, moore needs to step out of the race. Hes hoping to take over Jeff Sessions seat. More than a dozens are saying moore should step out. If it is true, i dont believe there is a place for him in the United States senate. Speaking on air force one between china and vietnam, Sarah Huckabee sanders giving the impression of supporting moore. The president believes that we do not allow mere allegations. On the next line sanders repeating increasinglincreasing, the president says if these allegations are true, judge moore will do the right thing and step aside. Moore is showing no indication of quitting. In a phone interview, moore says his brother accuser are either being paid and comparing his brothers political problems to the persecution of jesus christ. The question remains a, are the shocking accusations impacting voters. The question, todd, thats the one thats very much in the line of voters here. Why now . There is never a wrong time to reveal the truth but none the less, it is causing a lot a great deal of skepticism who believes this is time to have some impact on elections a few weeks ago. Martin savidge for us in alabama. Lets talk about these allegations with pastor mike allison, hes known roy moore for 20 years. He endorsed him. Thank you very much for being with us pastor. We appreciate it. I know you said you known him 20 years and you support him now more than ever, why . Because i know the man. I know hes a good man and a godly man. Hes had a lot of battles in the past and hes not just one of those men that sways with the wind. Hes a man that stands for right. If he says he did not do it, i believe him. Let me ask you this, pastor that you dont believe the accusations because he said that he did not do it. You have known him more for 20 years. You had to ask yourself why these women would make up these stories if these accusations are untrue, have you come to an answer . The timing bothers me really. Why right now months before the election takes place. Hes been in the publics eye for so long and this is not an accusation of financial to allege actual abuse of any sort is personal and humiliating for somebody. I am trying to understand why you dont put any credence in what these women say. As i said, i know the man and i trust him and i believe that if he had done this, he will come forward and say it. You used the word, allege alleged hes not only admitted and not found guilty of anything. There is not a trial or anything like that and on one allegation or what somebody else may have said and picked up on. I am not going to discount anybody. Let me ask you, you are the leader of the congregation and leader of the community, have you made any allowance for the possibility that these allegations could be true and you may know the man and may not know all of the man. Any proof at all of some truth here . We had a lot of politicians whether it is president s or senators or so on who had all kinds of story comesiing out an they get elected anyway. He stood for what he believes. I am not going to mind fifind h guilty based on allegations. If there is some truth here, you are not going find him guilty based on allegations, what would be your message in women in our community and girls in your congregation who gone through the same thing and if you stand up and said the man did not do it, end of story. Let me say this is something that i actually test, i am a father of two daughters, they are grown and i have two granddaughters and six grandsons. This is the type of thing when done and when it is true, i mean it is absolutely apparent to me. I want to ask you about some of the people coming to his defense. First of all, when talking about the defense of roy moore, he said look at joseph and mary, mary was a teenager and joseph is an adult of carpenter. There is nothing immoral and illegal here. Maybe just something in usual. To that, there is reactions. So basically claiming st. Joseph was a pedophile to justify rye moores behavior, just wow. Then we have ed stetzer. We should be angry first that politicians think they cannily to us easily. Second, we so easily fall for such tactics. I hope that people will not fall for these things. Are these biblical connections really beneficial, pastor . Well, i would not have used joseph and mary, the one perfect man that walked on planet was jesus christ. He had false accusers against him and as a matter of feedback thats w fact thats why he was put on the cross. That does not mean there are circumstances that compare allegations being made, falls with and so son. Hes not a perfect man, hes a man. I believe hes an honest man and until i see otherwise, i am going to hold it to that. I think other people would like to be believed if they can falsely accuse, why would we condemn a man because of an accusation. The accusation does not make itself. Let me ask you pastor, what more are you waiting for . There were four women putting their names on the record and they spoke with the Washington Post and dozens of others to corroborate the allegations and they went back to make sure the woman who was 14 at the time was in the courthouse as she said she was. What more would you like to see . I would like to hear from his list and until then, all it is it is an allegation. I am not finding him guilty. I am surprised that everybody is rushing into judgment. Unless judge moore himself says he did it, you are going to believe that he did not. Is that the threshold . Yes, or hes found guilty of it. So if he goes to court and you would listen to trials, you are open to you are open minded in that regards if it gets to that but until something tangible happens, you are behind him. Yes. I can think of reasons politicians had they stop because they refused of things they would never gotten into light. One last question, i know that you want judge moore to be the next senator representing the state off alabama but considering the allegations against him and you know the people there, do you expect that he will win this election . I hope that he will and if the people that know him will still vote for him and believe they will. Well see. All right, pastor mike allison, we appreciate you taking the time to be with us, thank you. Thank you. All right, well continue this conversation throughout the morning as well.
