Tonight, the white house saying its not what he meant. It comes after appearing to side with putin over his own intelligence agencies while on the world stage. Todays answer comes after the director of National Intelligence says that russia is still at it, and the warning lights are blinking red. Cecilia vega leading us off. Reporter just 24 hours after President Trump declared his full faith in americas intelligence agencies, and even with his own director of National Intelligence warning russia is right now targeting the u. S. , President Trump today offered this stunning contradiction. Is russia still targeting the u. S. , mr. President . Thank you very much, no. Reporter no . You dont believe that to be the case . No. Reporter we asked not once, but twice. And twice, the president replied, no. It directly contradicts the director of National Intelligence who said that russia is behind ongoing, pervasive efforts to undermine our democracy. And thats not all. Im here to say the warning lights are blinking red again. Today, the Digital Infrastructure that serves this country is literally under attack. Reporter from republicans today, near universal condemnation. If he really believes russia is not interfering in our 2018 election, im dumbfounded by that statement. I dont know what drives this. Its baffling, i think, to all of us who have concerns about the integrity of our elections. The president is wrong and he should heed the warnings of the intelligence community. Reporter the president was already under fire for failing to publicly confront Vladimir Putin for meddling in the 2016 election, and siding with russias leader over his own intelligence community. President putin denied having anything to do with the election interference in 2016. Every u. S. Intelligence agency has concluded that russia did. Who do you believe . My people came to me, dan coats came to me, and some others, and said 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. Reporter that exchange, leading to an unheardof walkback from President Trump. Who claimed that, really, it was all just a oneword messup. In a key sentence in my remarks, i said the word would instead of wouldnt. The sentence should have been, i dont see any reason why i wouldnt or why it wouldnt be russia. So, just to repeat it, i said the word would instead of wouldnt. The sentence should have been, i dont see any reason why it wouldnt be russia. I think that probably clarifies things pretty good by itself. Reporter less than 24 hours later, at the white house, yet another headspinning cleanup effort. Press secretary Sarah Sanders says the president wasnt actually saying no to our question about whether russia is still targeting the u. S. I had a chance to speak with the president after those comments. The president said thank you very much, and was saying no to answering questions. Reporter so we asked for a clarification of the clarification. I just want to clarify what you just said. Dan coats said pointblank, the threat is still ongoing from russia. Does this white house believe that currently this threat is still ongoing . We believe the threat still exists. Which is why were taking steps to prevent it. Cecilia, Sarah Sanders saying the president wasnt actually answering your question when he said no . Reporter you saw the video, theres no doubt President Trump heard both questions. He looked directly at me when answering. And when sanders said his no meant he didnt want to answer questions, thats what he did. He went on to answer another question from another reporter. So, the white house once again in cleanup mode over the president s answers to questions about russia. And for the first time, were hearing what donald trump says he told putin.

Im strong on the fact we cant from meddling. I let him know we cant have this. Were not going to have it. And thats the way its going to be. Reporter the only people who would have heard that, putin, his interpreter, and trumps interpreter. Now, some callinglinglinglinglig testify. We need to have the president share with us what happened during that meeting. If he wont do it, the interpreter should come. Reporter the republican chairman of the Foreign Relations committee, saying he would consider it. Im not sure its appropriate. Were checking if it is. Certainly well pursue it. Reporter the white house says if Congress Wants this, talk to the state department. The state Department Says theyre waiting on an official qut frocongre. It the how likel interpreter up before the hill . Its unclear, but seems unlikely. The state Department Says theyre unsure of any precedent. Tom, thank you.
