Reporter let me ask, outside of the room, where do things stand on this question of. Sssian meddling . When you and i last talked, you said at the end of the day, the russians need to know there are d nsequences when they get involved in our elections. What are those consequences . Not just russia. Any country needs to know that there are consequences when they get involved in our elections. And i think thats why its good that the investigations are going on and were analyzing and were looking into all that, and i think we need to manage it iccordingly. The one thing we dont want is for our political process to ever be influenced or tainted in any way, and i think that we have to make sure were always strong on that point and let everyone know were not going to put up with it. Reporter but given that the president , as you said, knows that the russians meddled, what tonsequences will they face as a result of that action . I think youre going to have to ask the president. I think thats one of the things is first, is confronting them. Letting them know we know it happened, letting them know it cant happen again. I know that they had quite a bit of cyber conversation, in terms of cyber meddling, or cyber ouse, during, not just political situations but also from a security situation, and they talked quite a bit on the cyber attack risk. Ad so i think well see what happens there. You know, keep in mind, yesterdays meeting was all about talk, but at the end of the day, this is all going to be about actions.
