I dont think the Intelligence Community gets the credit it is due for what is doing day in and day out to keep the nigs secure. The Intelligence Community set to brief donald trump on russian hacking. We have clear evidence over and over that there are people in the Intelligence Committee who have been politically redesigning what they say. Taxpayers may end up paying for Donald Trumps border wall. His Transition Team is considering asking congress to approve the funds. He will probably find a way of wiggling out of this. He said he was going to jail Hillary Clinton. Theres my car. Winter storms are burying parts of the east and west. Those roads will stay treacherous well into the weekend. Hit the gas. In chicago, hate crime charges were filed against four young suspects accused of kidnapping and beating a disabled man. We dont benefit from pretending racism doesnt exist. The fact that these things are surfaced means we can some them. Hey hem in parts of mexico following a 20 spike in gas prices. A skier survive near deadly accident at a colorado ski resort thanks to fastacting heroes. All that, 100 years old, he jumped out of a plane. Wonderful. And all that matters. Good evening my fellow americans. You remember my anger translator luther, the country has voted for a new president. Trump how did this happen man . Dont you understand this is how the hunger games starts. On cbs this morning. Im sure youre aware Inauguration Day is fast approaching. Details are starting to come out regarding the guest list. It was announced this week bill and Hillary Clinton will be attending the trump ichb august ration. Or at least thats what the russian hacker who read her email says. Toyota, lets go places. Welcome to cbs this mornin morning. President elect donald trump will meet facetoface with leaders of intelligence agencies he has challenged for weeks. The directors of the cia, fbi and nsa plus the director of National Intelligence will brief mr. Trump on election related hacki hacking. The president elect has refused to accept their conclusion that russia launched those cyberattacks. Director of National Intelligence told the Senate Arms Services committee that a new investigation makes him even more convinced of russias role. In a statement, clapper and other officials called russia a fullscope cyber actor that poses a major threat to the u. S. Nancy cordes is on national hill. Good morning. Good morning. Lawmakers from both sides will watch closely today to see if mr. Trumps views on rush kra change after that highprofile briefing. Already on capitol hill clapper made it clear he does not appreciate some of mr. Trumps comments about the Intelligence Community, indicating they are already possibly hurting agents morale and reputation. I think theres a difference between skepticism and disparagement. Reporter pressed by lawmakers, the nations top intelligence official weighed in on the president elects claims, that u. S. Intelligence on russia is off base. The russians have a long history of interfering in elections, theirs and other peoples. Reporter clapper says theres no doubt russians were behind the cyber intrusions that roiled the Democratic National committee and the Clinton Campaign. The meddling, he says, didnt stop there. Classical propaganda, disinformation, fake news. Does that continue . Yes. Reporter earlier this week, mr. Trump promoted claims from wikileaks founder Julian Assange that the russians did not give him the info. Yesterday mr. Trump tweeted he doesnt agree with assange. I simply state what he states. It is for the people, he said. No matter whether youre republican or a democrat, there should be howls. Reporter lawmakers from both sides see assange as an enemy of the u. S. Director clapper, how would you describe mr. Assange . I dont think those in the Intelligence Committee have a whole lot of respect for him. Reporter also testifying, director of the nsa Michael Rogers who says mr. Trumps dismissal of the claims could be lower agency morale. Without that confidence, i dont want a situation where someone decides to walk. I dont think thats a good place for us to be. Reporter several senators argued the u. S. Needs to retaliate against russia now. Our nation has no policy and thus no strategy for cyber deterrence. I think what obama did was throw a pebble. Im ready to throw a rock. Reporter earlier this week mr. Trump signaled he might be looking to radically revamp the office of the director of National Intelligence. Yesterday cbs news confirmed he has chosen someone to lead the dni. It is former indiana senator dan coates, longtime senator who served, gayle, on the Intelligence Committee. Thank you very much, nancy. Todays briefing is based on an Intelligence Report prepared for president obama. Officials believe that this leaves no doubt that russia interfered with the president ial election. Jeff beg gas has details on what mr. Trump is expected to hear today. Good morning. Good morning. U. S. Intelligence officials are heading into this afternoons meeting at trump tower united in their belief that the russians med ld in the u. S. Election. A senior Law Enforcement officials tells cbs news simply, russia did this. The question is whether mr. Trump will believe that assessment. U. S. Officials tell cbs news the briefing will stretch back years. Investigators believe Russian Hackers have conducted waves of cyberattacks for about a decade. The briefing will include intercepts between russian officials congratulating each other after Donald Trumps win, allegedly showing the russians were pleased with the outcome of their plan. The report will also show u. S. Intelligence agencies have identified the actors or gobetweens who delivered stolen democratic emails to wikileaks and its founder Julian Assange. Over the last several months mr. Trump has questioned whether the russians were involved, and the credibility of u. S. Intelligence agencies. I just want them to be sure because its a pretty serious charge and i want them to be sure. If you look at the weapons of mass destruction, that was a disaster, and they were wrong. Reporter the criticism is causing a strain in his relationship with the Intelligence Community. We are part of the executive branch that the president will need to rely on. Reporter on thursday cia director john brennan explained how he addressed concerns within his agency about mr. Trumps perceived skepticism. Its the time for cia officers really to strut their stuff, to be able to dmon straight just how good we are, how capable we are, the expertise we have. Reporter also former cia director James Woolsey announced he was no longer a Senior Adviser to the trump Transition Team. He was taken aback by trump considering revamping the countrys intelligence. He down played his role in the Transition Team. I didnt feel i was being misrepresented, but i was not really called upon to go to meetings or participate in work on the transition. One angle that may come up in todays intelligence briefing, whether the russians goal was to explicitly help donald trump. Intelligence sources say proving any motive beyond a reasonable doubt will be difficult. Whether this changes mr. Trumps feelings will be easier to gauge. Obama believes tensions will be reduced when mr. Trump receives his own briefings from his own team. Vice President Joe Biden said its, quote, absolutely mindless, for a president not to have confidence in his intelligence agencies. The idea that you know more than the Intelligence Community knows, its a little like saying, i know more about physics than my professor. I didnt read the book, i just know i know more. With us now, Kellyanne Conway, counselor to president elect trump and his former campaign manager. Good morning. Here you have mr. Clapper saying theres a difference between skepticism or disparagement. Is the president elect questioning the credibility of the intelligence agencies and is that going to lead to a strained relationship and hurt morale . The question people want to know in the end is what the president elect trying to do. Charlie, president elect trump has Great Respect for the Intelligence Community. Were happy the top intelligence officials will be at trump tower to give their own briefing to the president elect. Whats disappointing is having leaks in the media before we actually have a report on the alleged hacking. Its been very confounding to us and certainly to the president elect why this report, if it wasnt prepared until yesterday, why operatives were expelled, why punishment preceded actual conclusions. I would remind us all what happened in yesterdays hearing. Clapper and rogers also admitted this country is way behind the secure f when it comes to Cyber Security. They also made clear that, and we saw an fbi report yesterday to cnn that the fbi asked the dnc to take a look at its server and they were rebuffed. The dnc refused to do that. So thats why they were hacked. One thing i want to say, lets not confuse the two things, the respect for the Intelligence Community and the intelligence and Security Team the president elect assembled for his administration is solid and he works with them daily. Secondly, lets hear whats in the briefing today. Let the president elect see the information. But the president himself just received the report this week. Does his intelligence officials believe that the russians did not hack . Does his intelligence officials believe that . Those advising him, do they believe the russians are not behind the hacking . I have not been in those briefings. The fact of the matter is very simple, we do not want any Foreign Government to interfere in this country and Cyber Security is a very serious issue to this administration. At the same time lets wait until the president elect receives the briefing of the material. He didnt wait to receive the briefing before he expressed doubt about the conclusions. Part of that is because, as you know, maybe not on this tv set, people want a lot of america to see, to believe that russian hacking influenced the election results. Vladimir putin did not discourage Hillary Clinton from competing in wisconsin and michigan. Its unfair and it is unproven and it will be unproven, that what russia did or did not do affected the election results. Lets ask ourselves a very simple question. Why would russia want donald trump to win the presidency here . Donald trump has promised to modernize our nuclear capability. He wants to increase the Defense Budget and he wants more oil and gas exploration. Why would russia want hes said favorable things about Vladimir Putin and also favored what Julian Assange has said. That didnt come from leaks, that came from Donald Trumps tweet. I dont think hes putting one above the other. I think hes saying lets look at all the information together. Thats why we had hearings yesterday on capitol hill. Thats why president obama himself is just receiving this information. I think when people go back to president obamas legacy, theyre not going to look at it as i was a tough guy against Vladimir Putin because i expelled 35 russians operatives in the waning days. Why didnt obama said to president putin, quote, knock it off. Why did donald trump speak out before he got the report on twitter . What hes saying is he cant agree with the rush to judgment thats occurring in the press. This isnt a rush to judgment in the press. This is, in fact, the testimony of intelligence officials to congress yesterday, not a rush by the press. Youre absolutely right. I agree with you. It happened yesterday. Why last week did the president expel these operatives. Why for weeks have the clintons being grasping at anything they can to explain her disastrous loss . Whats necessary to believe that what the intelligence officials believe that the rukss have been hacking, thats a very Serious National Security concern for intelligence people advising the president. Let me repeat. President elect trump and his administration are against any foreign interference from any government. If they find evidence of that, what will they do . Well see. He gets the briefing today. I dont want to do what others have done, which is presuppose a result and a conclusion and then the action. But respect him in this way, hell get the information. Then hell take action. Can i ask you a quick question . I understand now that the president elect is asking congress and taxpayers to pay for the wall, not mexico. Is he going back on a Campaign Promise . No. What we understand is nothings has changed from our perspective. Congress is taking it on themselves to explore different options to pay for the all. Obviously we respect federalism. If congress is trying to find different ways to fund this project that is a top priority of president trump, they should do that.
