Staredown in china, new ind kags from u. S. Intelligence officials that putins cyber spies are actively trying to disrupt the november election and attack other american interests around the world. Kevin corke is traveling with the president. There are reports tonight from laos. With election day a mere two months away, u. S. Intelligence and Law Enforcement agencies are investigating a possible russian plot to convince americans to distrust the voting outcome in november, even before the first ballots have been cast. Just last week, officials reported that election systems in illinois and arizona have been hacked and that russia was most likely responsible. Russian hackers have also been blamed for intrusions into House DemocratCampaign Organization and the Democratic National committee. The latter of which who was exposed by wikileaks and led to the resignation of chair debbie wassermanschultz. The fact that our intelligence professionals are now studying this and taking it seriously raises grave questions about potential russian interference with our electoral process. In an interview, russian president Vladimir Putin rejected suggestions that the kremlin in any interest in the election this fall and shouldnt be blamed for any cyber incursions. Translator this is very difficult to verify. Its not completely impossible to verify. At a state level we are definitely not involved in this. Reporter the efforts to better understand what many believe is a covert Russian Campaign is being headed by james klapper. Senior official has told the Washington Post russias activity is something were looking closely at. Even the hints of something impacting our system would be of significant concern. News of the investigation comes as president obama addressed the subject directly with putin at the g20 summit in china. President obama said the United States didnt want to engage in some kind of wild west cyber war with russia and warned neither should the kremlin. Our goal is not to suddenly in the cyber arena duplicate a cycle of escalation that we saw when it comes to, you know, other arms races in the past. But rather to start instituting some norms so that everybody is acting responsibly. I think the era of recess is over. We tried it the last eight years. It didnt work. Whoever becomes the next president is going to have to try something new. And it shouldnt start with a reset button. Just one more nugget from that bloomberg interview with Vladimir Putin, he was asked if he would be interested in running for reelection in 2018. He said flatly it was absolutely premature to say.

Reporter for the second day in a row, Hillary Clinton answered questions from the press, effectively ending a time slot saying she had not held a press conference in 275 days.

Reporters wanted to know whether she thought there was a double standard when it came to investigating her as opposed to donald trump.

Reporter she told fbi agents she could not recall statements about emails to the fact that several staff knew about her accounts. Blackberries and ipods are unaccounted for. Missing devices creates a hole in the investigation. Here, it would seem like its a significant hole in the investigation. Not only do you have missing devices but you have the content of those devices, too. Reporter according to the fbi timeline released friday, clintons lawyers said in february, quote, they were unable to locate any of these devices. The report also shows clinton relied on multiple device at once, toggling between her blackberry and ipad, which further discredits clintons initial explanation. First when i got to work as secretary of state, i opted for convenience to use my personal email account which was allowed by the state department because i thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work and for my personal emails instead of two. The state department emphasized none of the device were issued or approved for government use. Did something for her and her staff for answer. All we could say is that she was never provided with a state department blackberry. Reporter according to the fbi file, archiving clintons emails was lost in the mail and two of clintons devices were destroyed by a longtime aide to bill clinton, who smashed them with a hammer, possible charge of obstruction. A preservation order was issued for the clinton emails. March 31st, clintons legal team held a Conference Call with the incht t. Firm managing the server.

First of three debates is in 19 days. Only Vice President ial debate is a week after that and two more president ials before the actual election day. Carl cameron with the Trump Campaign joining us from virginia. His unique perspective on the stories we just brought you, former u. S. Attorney general roberto gonzalez. He served under george w. Bush and has a new book out today, true faith and allegiance a story of service and sacrifice in war and peace. First the investigation into Hillary Clintons emails and Clinton Foundation. Im sure you paid attention to all the stories as its unveiled itself. Whats your take on all that . I can understand the frustration in the American People, certainly the republicans who are wondering why. Why no indictment . Why not go forward . The other thing i think some people may be frustrated about is the attorney general seemed to step away from making the decision, that she relied solely on the decision or recommendation by the fbi director which, frankly, i find puzzling. Its important for them to serve as a check on investigators. How do you know that the investigation was even done the right way . That, to me, is frustrating and troubling. You know, people ask me, are you supporting donald trump . Who are you supporting in this race . Ive declined to say who im supporting. Part of the reason i think is because we dont know all the facts. I think the clinton emails, as more information gets revealed, the story gets murkier and more troublesome. Its important to have all the facts before making a decision like who should serve as president of the United States . As attorney general, would you have met with president clinton on your private plane on the tarmac . Sometimes you cant avoid running into someone but understanding that the partly sunny is under investigation, you quickly disengage from that. The appearance of impropriety creates a problem, for american justice being impartial. And i think it hurts the investigation. And it doesnt do any good to the department of justice. So i think that was an error. And i think that that led to the frustration and suspicion about what happened here. Last question on these investigations. You heard the earlier piece by Catherine Herridge and Jennifer Griffin that Hillary Clinton said numerous times that she only had one device. She did it for her convenience. And then the fbi in these notes, the fbi investigation found 13 total mobile devices. With two known phone numbers which potentially were used to send emails, using clintons email addresses, abcooper recalled two instances where he destroyed clintons mobile devices by breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer. Were getting the fbi notes of this interview and people are saying, wait a second. She destroyed two with a hammer . It certainly would raise questions in my mind, you know. What does this all mean . Where does it all go . Release of this information, continues to present a problem for Hillary Clinton and the issue of trustworthiness and her ability to serve with integrity in the oval office which i think is one of the most important qualifications for anyone who serves as president of the United States. Someone who is not going to be th using that incredible power for personal gain. Trying to get immigration, big bill, comprehensive bill through but failed. Donald trump, after his visit to mexico again, a hard line on how hes treating them. How do you think that goes over with the American People now . What do you think of this issue overall . I cant speak for the American People i think the tone is unfortunate. I know a lot of hispanics, lot of people i know and respect have been offended by the rhetoric from donald trump. But we also we have to remember were in a political season and things get said in the political campaign. Once someone takes that oval office and becomes president of the United States, they somehow get wiser or get better advice. I dont know. They typically go into the job and do the right thing for this country. We need comprehensive Immigration Reform no, question about that. It has to include border security. You cant build a wall and expect another country to pay for it. Thats trouble iing to me. Not only are we a nation of laws, we are a compassionate nation, nation of immigrants and we need a policy that accommodates both of those objecti objectives. As a lifelong republican, somebody who studied the law for your entire life, listening to you, saying you havent decided, you have this next president likely deciding on several u. S. Supreme court seats they question that, how you get to the indecision. What is going to change your mind about this election. I think its going to be more facts that come out of connection with the Clinton Administration investigation. Weve got these debates coming up. I want to see them standing side by side and that will sway the minds of many voters. You know, this is a very important decision for me, being with a president who, in the oval office, making decisions, who should go on the supreme court. In the situation making a decision to send young men and women into battle, it takes a very special kind of person to be president of the United States. And the problem that i have is i knew george w. Bush. I dont know either of these two individuals. Im using this time to get educated. Quite frankly, people should not listen solely to my recommendation, the recommendation of others. They need to educate themselves. Who is best for them and for their families to serve this country. Last thing. Considering what you know you read about it in the book quite a bit, National Security and the issues that president bush had to deal with real time. Is that the most pressing issue in your mind facing us, Going Forward . National security, no question about it. We are living in a very dangerous time. And we need someone who can deal effectively with National Security issues. But its not just a United States problem. That person has to be able to work with our allies around the world. The United States, while it should be the leader, cannot effectively deal with threats against the western world. It requires cooperation of our western allies. Are you worried about russia . I am worried about that. I began every day as attorney general with a briefing of the fbi director, receivinged a briefing from the cia about things going on around the world. Im sure this is something that is occupying general lynch. It is a very serious story. General gonzalez, thank you very much for the time. Thank you.
