Talking about it. President putin may very well want to address it. Very strongly. He feels very strongly about it and he has an interesting idea. Dana john roberts is in helsinki before he gets a chance to come home and be stateside with us again. John, what did the president say about u. S. Intelligence and russian collusion . Good evening to you, dana. The president has heard several times from Vladimir Putin, i didnt do it, russia didnt do it. Head heard that several times over the telephone, seen it in print. Putin said it to the president s face in vietnam at the apex summit and he said it again today. The president says he said it powerfully. We heard from the president twice last week when he said he was going to ask putin about it. Didnt know if putin about it. Didnt know if there would be a perry mason moment. When asked about it today, he seemed to side with putin over the cia. He was put on the spot. Do you believe putin or do you believe the intelligence agencies . Perhaps not wanting to derail any talks with putin, the president answered this way. All i can do is ask the question. My people came to me, dan coats and some others and they say they think its russia. I have president putin, he just said its not russia. I will say this. I dont see any reason why it would be. I dont see any reason why it would be russia. A very unusual statement. The intelligence agencies have a consensus agreement that it was in fact russia that was meddling in the 2016 election. The Senate Intelligence committee thinks the same thing and we saw that mueller has induded 12 agents of russian intelligence in connection with hacking of the dnc computer and setting up a couple websites, d. C. Leaks and others to disseminate the information. So all of that would seem to fly in the face of putins denial but hes sticking to it and the president giving him a lot of low way today. Dana what the did putin say when he was asked if russia has any compromising information about President Trump . Its been a subject of speculation over here. You know, the word humor in Vladimir Putin are not used in the same sentence. That was one occasion during the press conference when there was a little laughter in the room. Putin said, you know, i used to be an intelligence agent and i know how these dossiers are created. Then he addressed the question about whether or not russia had my compromising information on the president. Listen here. Yeah, i did hear these rumors. But we allegedly collected compromising material on mr. Trump when he was visiting moscow. Let me tell you this. When President Trump was in moscow, i didnt even know that he was in moscow. Didnt even know that he was in moscow. The president answered that by saying look, if the stuff in the dossier was true, somebody would have put it out there. Vladimir putin basically saying stop talking about this. Its nonsense. But of course, that wont put it to rest. Dana the birds are wanting you to get back on your plane and get back. Looks like its a beautiful place. Thanks for your report. Todays summit in helsinki is the latest meeting between american president s and russian president s in finland. Gerald ford and meeting their soviet counter parts in the city. Bill clinton sat down with boris yeltsin. Im joined by Stephen Yates and noah rothman from commentary magazine. Noah, going into the summit, it was unclear what the outcome was supposed to be. The russians apparently said, well, the meeting is the deliverable. How do you think it went . I dont know how the meeting went. All we know is the press conference. The press conference was a mess. As far as the substance of this summit, difficult to gauge because we dont have an agenda. The public reporting suggests that the president is seeking some sort of assurances from russia in order to facilitate american withdrawal from syria. Parts of syria, east of the euphrates. Nobody will talk about that publicly because its probably tactically unwise in my view. So what were hearing is a lot of rhetoric. But im not sure what we were supposed to achieve, which makes it difficult for americans to engage. How do we know this is successful when we dont know what success looks like. Dana based on what noah just said, if we can go to what President Trump said on syria, please. Working with israel is a great thing and creating safety for israel is something that president putin and i would like to see very much. If we can do something to help the people of syria get back into some form of shelter and on a humanitarian basis and thats what the words were, both of us would be interested in doing that. Dana awed laudable goals but will the russians keep their word and iran out of the area. What do you think about that . Its hard to believe. But its a little bit like the kim jongun meeting in the sense that you need to sit down and have the leader put his cards face up to see whether you have the pieces of a deal to do. We know President Trump doesnt follow the playbook that we used before in the white house, but this is what his m. O. Is, to get in, try to work the person, see what the contours of what a deal might be. I think there was some utility of giving it a go. Im as skeptical about anybody about putin or russia pursuing american interests in syria, but the experience in syria hasnt worked so its worthy to explore what else is on offer. Dana the real news, noah, that President Trump seeming to side with putin and the russians over his own intelligence agencies. Take a listen to what putin said to jeff mason of reuters when asked about trust. Why should americans and why should President Trump believe their statement that russia did not intervene in the 2016 election given the United States that u. S. Intelligence agencies have provided . You trust no one. Where did you get this idea that President Trump trusts me or i trust him . He defends the interests of the United States of america. And i do defend the interests of the Russian Federation. We do have interests that are common. Were looking for points of contact. Isnt this part of the russian m. O. , to say that facts dont matter at all . Theres no such thing as truth . I have no idea where trump must trust russia . He said as much in that press conference. We have to believe not your own ears and your own eyes. Could i say, by the way, that the nation of donald trump, the president said the humanitarian conditions on the ground would be looked after by russia is crazy. Russia has facilitated starvation campaigns in some cities. Theyre implicated in the attacks on hospitals and maternity wards. They have covered for individuals that attacked a humanitarian convoy. The way that russia is interested in human rights and only interested in a genocide regime is overwhelming. To fail to mention that in public is a disgrace. Dana theres widespread criticism of the president today. Some of it is coming from former Obama Administration officials. This is what john brennan wrote. Donald Trumps Press Conference performance in helsinki rises and meets the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors. It was nothing short of tre treasonous. Is it a little galling to listen to Obama Administration officials talk about getting tough on russia when the crimea situation, the syria situation, the ukrainian situation, all of these things were not dealt with under obama either . They dont have any legs to stand on. John brennan is no less of a political hack than the man that hes trying to criticize. People forget what he did before. Hes a partisan. Covering for what i think was a complete lack of real engagement. Human rights situation in syria was devastatingly bad during the Obama Administration. The wave of migration across europe is directly related to their inaction. The spread of chemical weapons and their use with impunity has been cultivated under their tutelage. Nobody has much credibility in trying to say that they have the fix now. That was really rank partisanship by his part. Dana we will see much more of that. But noah, the president is not without some critics today, so congressman trey gowdy put out a statement. He said russia is not our friend. Russia attempted to undermine our democracy, impugn the reliability of the 2016 election and sow the seeds of discourse among americans. Im confident mike pompeo, dan coats and nikki haley, chris wray and others that its possible that russia was involved in our election. Now to give you the last word. This constant consecration by the president that he doesnt want to talk about russian interference, which our intelligence agencies say is real and mueller say, okay, heres 12 examples to hit putin over the head with without saying this is an attack on my legitimacy as president. Both things can be true and separate. He won the election and russia tried to interfere. Doesnt mean that he won the election because they interfered. No. I havent seen any evidence to suggest that the two issues are the same. He seems to have an ego investment in the idea that he won the election by his superior campaign and any russian interference undermines that. Kudos the trey gowdy and others that are not redefining what high crimes mean. But i dont think that solves the problem. I think dan coats has a legitimacy issue. I dont know how he continues to serve after president has said i dont trust you in favor of an american adversary. This is a significant crisis in the administration, this is not just talk. These things have effects. Dana well talk about that later on. Appreciate that here. Stephenates and noah rothman, thank you. Stay with fox news all day as Chris Wallace has an exclusive interview with russian president Vladimir Putin. Later tonight, sean hannity will speak with the president off of the meeting. President trump and Vladimir Putin agree that ensuring israels security is a priority, but what action will they take . Plus putin weighing in on the 12 military officers indicted in the Mueller Probe. The offer hes making to the special counsel.

Dana the trump putin summit coming days after indictments from the mueller investigation. 12 military officer as cued of hacking the democrats in the 2016 election to help the trump campaign. Vladimir putin addressing that in the press conference with trump. We go back to the 12 alleged Intelligence Officers of russia. I dont know the full extent of the situation, but President Trump mentioned this issue. I will look into it. We have an existing agreement between the United States of america and the Russian Federation in a treaty that dates back to 1999. The mutual assistance on criminal cases, this treaty is in full effect. It works efficiently. Dana joining me now, shelby holiday, a video reporter. You saw her here last week. Can i have one more sound buys for you, this is Donna Brazile from the dnc and what she thinks about this. The most important thing now that we know there are several witches, no some 400 pound guy sitting on the bed, the president has to acknowledge this and defend and protect our democracy. The russians took our emails and data and can still use that information to damage our democratic institutions. Shelby what are you hearing from your sources . I would imagine that putin has to be embarrassed that our Law Enforcement and intelligence is able to tell him exactly what happened. Its a real breach for them. He must be wondering where else they might be exposed. This raises concerns about how we know everything we know. Who is in charge of speaking to reporters and disseminating information. We know so much about its alleg alleged. Its an indictment. Its very alarming to Russian Military intelligence. A couple of thing of Donna Braziles comments. The one thing the democrats are worried about, how many emails that were hacked that were not released were. People compromised and maybe they will appear on a campaign in a couple years and does russia still have leverage over them because they didnt release all of the information they. Have the other thing to point out, its not just Donna Brazile and the democrats. The president needs to take this issue head on. Im hering from john mccain, paul ryan, republicans across the hill are saying first of all, if the president doesnt trust u. S. Intelligence agencies, which he sort of alluded to in the press conference, if he doesnt trust u. S. Intelligence, how can we protect Cyber Security in the future . If hes worried about this undermining his election, that seems to be driving his policy and thats not a good thing. Dana the president saying earlier that theres some fault on our side. I guess hes talking about not having good passwords and not being aware that you can be hacked . Hes saying its the democrats fault because they kind have great Cyber Security protection. If you read the indictment and i would encourage every american to read it because its fascinating, it was not something that you can protect with just systems. Everyone that does Cyber Security knowing everybody is vulnerable. We all have gmail accounts, separate email accounts. Its the equivalent of somebody creating a fake email address that looks likes somebody that you speak to online, creating a link that looks like something and sneaking it into your inbox. And the gru, its the same organization in russia that is implicated in the poison that has taken place in the u. K. In the last few months . Yes. The gru is this secretive and elite military intelligence branch. First of all, directed by the kremlin. The 12 officials from the gru are indicted signals that Vladimir Putin told them to do what they did. Its also a very aggressive and sophisticated branch of Russian Military intelligence. Theyre also blamed for the downing of the ukrainian the civilian passenger plane over the ukraine and other aggressive acts that the entire world is looking at. How skeptical should people be about president putin and cooperating on Cyber Security . Republicans, democrats, everybody im speaking to are all concerned that President Trump said putin had a good idea and putins idea was to share information and collaborate on Cyber Security. Dana thank you. Well keep in teach. Thanks for having me. Dana well tell you more about the ties between the russians that Robert Mueller and indicted and putin showing off his ride before the summit. Well have that and more from helsinki today.

What did you make of the timing of this announcement . Dana, you have to say the timing is unfortunate baring in mind the press conference we just saw. This sheds like on the nefarious activity carried out by russia and the u. K. Is not denying it was the russians. Theyre pointing the finger at them and pointing the finger firmly at the gru, the group that youve been talking about. Theyre russians Largest MilitaryIntelligence Service and they have a hand in numerous activities in countries around the world. Brush officials have been saying theyre close to identifying the a
