it's important we let the russians know this. so yes, i think he ought to cut his losses with this disastrous trip to europe, not make it worse by a friendly meeting with vladimir putin on the heels of yet another indictment of russia. >> because the specifics in this indictment are enormous. they name names. the u.s. intelligence community hates to do that. they think it could compromise future intelligence operations. they go through point by point. it's one thing to say the russians interfered. it's another thing to bring it up with all this specific detail. >> exactly. what i've been looking at in these indictments, like the last indictment, is both what they include and what they don't include. here in the first indictment on the social media campaign, there was no mention of the hacking and dumping operation. so this indictment was foreseeable. we knew this was coming. but here, there's no mention, for example, of the russians communicating with papadopoulos. now, i'm going through this indictment in realtime, but i haven't

rejected by mccain and hurt the russians. here they get a clear signal from candidate trump today, they waste no time in trying to provide that help. i think going into this meeting, within the next 24 hours, trump can't contain his admiration for putin but more than that, trump views putin as his ben factor. putin intervened, russian military intelligence officers were not acting on their own. putin intervened to help trump and trump is nothing if not grateful for that help. >> we'll take a quick break. when we come back, more questions for you about the summit and what is at stake. tomorrow including your call for the summit to be scrapped all together. stay with us. add the activia 2 week probiotic challenge to your healthy routine and see how activia yogurt with its billions of live and active probiotics may help support your digestive health so you can take on your day. start the activia probiotic challenge today. it works or it's free! here's something you should know. there's a serious virus out there that 1 in 30 boom

russians hacked. so, i would say -- >> do you think roger is that stupid? >> i think roger is conspiratorial, yes. i think roger, alex jones and that whole -- >> that defense that you're sharing, and i appreciate -- >> this is all i know. >> i understand, you're explaining what you've learned. and it makes you interesting.fi. you are explaining your understanding. that suggests that roger stone is stupid or a novice. we have dealt with him. he strikes me as neither of those things. >> roger is someone who does not trust the government sometimes, and has seen disinformation put out. i disagree with him. it was clear to me that putin did this. putin is not my friend. i think putin is not an ally. by the way, the president should confront putin about this publicly in his press conference about this. >> you think donald trump should do that. do you think he will do that? >> i would hope so. i don't know. >> evelyn? >> well, you know where i stand. if the president meets with putin, which i think is a horr

he has to have access to communications presumably among these russians and between these russians and people elsewhere, people running wikileaks and so forth and also presumably communication communicatio communications between russians and the united states. if you're on the fence about whether to flip and think gee, maybe i can get away with this. you look at this indictment and think maybe i better place a call to the special prosecutor's office or the southern district in new york or someone in the justice department and say maybe i will complete so i think for michael cohen, for paul manafort even though he's already indicted but he's in play in terms of someone who can flip, if more others we don't know much about at this point, this is a signal that mueller knows an awful lot and assuming there is some collusion with american which is i think is hard to doubt, i think this is his way of signaling those americans let's play ball here. >> let me go to evelyn and back to you, john. >> what strikes me, ari, is that there's no 400 pound guy in new jers jersey, there are 12 faces wit

he's twice charged individual russians by name with election meddling. 13 russians and 3 russian companies accused of a disinformation campaign on social media. a california man pleaded guilty to helping them get u.s. bank accounts. and in the latest charges, russian intelligence officers are accused ofleakkig stolen e-mails to embarrass the democrats. an operation prosecutors say has a clear connection to the russian government. >> the defendants worked for two units of the main intelligence directorate of the russian general staff known as the gru. >> reporter: still unanswered -- did unanswered -- did any americans help the russians meddle in the campaign? three former trump campaign officials and advisers pleaded guilty to other charges. michael flynn for lying to the fbi about his conversations with the russian ambassador during the transition. george papadopoulos. for lying about his contacts with russians during the campaign. and richard gates, former deputy trump campaign manager, for lying to federal agents about his lobbying work on behalf of the russian-backed government in ukra

or done by russian forces. a lot of people believe, the dutch have been investigating and believe it because so many dutch citizens were killed on that malaysian flight. that's one of the things you look at putin and the russians, and there's such a long list of, let's call it what it is, crimes exited by the putin regime. to see the president of the united states embrace the regime is appalling. i was listening to some of the earlier commentary and thinking a lot of trump supporters are enjoying this. they voted for him because they wanted him to disrupt things. so he goes to the g7, to nato, to all of the different meetings and it is as if he was going into a poker game where everybody thought they knew the rules and he says, we're going to play 52 pickup. i'm going to throw everything up in the air. oh, i have an ice. that's the way he approaches things. it may work well with his base, it may work very well for his own ego, but it is an absolute disaster for american relations with countries all over the wor

>> certainly the extent and duration and intensity of the russian effort, the russian government's effort to make sure donald trump and not hillary clinton became president of the united states. i mean, this effort was really extraordinary and it answers a lot of questions, but it raises one and doesn't resolve it, which is whether there was any come poli complicity or collusion with the trump campaign. it doesn't accuse them, but doesn't exonerate them, either. that is still open. >> the 12 officers that clearly worked for the russian government, everybody believes they would not have done this unless putin, himself, authorized them to do it. how significant is the detail we learned? >> this really isn't new information. the obama administration said the highest levels of the russian government directed this. the intelligence community assessment is really clear on the point. they say with high confidence, they were involved. i don't think there's good faith reason to doubt. to the extent there's question, this is robert mueller saying, i am prepared to prove in court, beyond a reasonabl

there is a lot to discuss with the russians. we have a habit when we talk about this of just out of politeness maybe or old-fashionedness is what would a normal president say to vladimir putin in these circumstances. we have to also think about this, president trump is not there just to speak for america. he's there as a participant, maybe even a guilty participant. >> senator john mccain said today if president trump is not prepared to hold putin accountable, the summit should not move forward. of course the white house said the summit is still on absolutely. but we will possibly never know what the president says to vladimir putin about this because he wants the meeting to be one-on-one. >> we won't know. the president wants it to go on and i think it's very unlikely that he will make the case he ought to make on this, pressing the russians. i think it is right to call for him not to go. but he is going to follow through. one of the problems with that is by doing the summit, he's giving something to putin. he's saying i embrac

the russian nation the russian sports now of course all over for the russians croats solo they face england in the semifinal in england i feel haven't really had to get out of second or third gear that not really been challenged to the point where you. crikey they're going to lose it's going to be knocked out of plays some beautiful football again some favorites in argentina among them this is going to be quite an interesting game in that i think so i think in the we'll go into that feeling very confident we've been saying all along since in the last to belgium in the group stage and came second that they on the so-called easiest side of the draw by you know seeing how it shapes up they played colombia it went to penalties it was difficult but really they deserved to go the route they're doing certainly for the jags they won on penalties and then they beat sweden yesterday with those goals one the one and then you have you and then after that you look at it and you say well they play a team again a croatia team who are probably better technically but maybe drug dealing with fitness

we never met with russians. oh, well, we did meet with russians. never met with russians about this. well, e-mails show this. et cetera. do those matter over time? in this investigation, because this president has been misleading on a whole host of things and yet has not faced any real consequences for it. >> yeah. well, i mean the consequences may come when mr. mueller reports. in terms of the politics, i think that there's a lot of the country that's tuned this out. there's been a steady, you know, cascade of stories about this. but when you hear interviews with his supporters and look at the polling, they feel like he's being, you know -- they buy his side of the argument that he is the victim of a witch hunt and so on. so i don't think that he has suffered political consequences as yet but the real issue is what mueller comes up with it and as we sit here today, surely he knows more about this and where this investigation is going than anybody here. >> no question. >> except maybe you, jim. you may know more about it. most of us. >> i will say,

and russian nuclear weapons. top officials have accused russia of violating the inf treaty in europe. that arms control agreement stated neither side could deploy short or intermediate range ground-based nuclear or conventional missiles like the one you see there. the vice chairman of the joint chiefs here testified in march of last year that russian was threatening all u.s. forces in europe with these land-based cruise missiles that they have deployed. they're posing a direct threat to nato no mention by the president today. >> dana: thanks, dana. we'll learn more from behind the scenes. amazing moments at today's news conference. vladimir putin sending a message to the president with a soccer ball saying "the ball is in your court." >> i had to reiterate things i said several times, including in our personal contact that the russian state has never interfered and not going to interfere in internal american affairs including election process. >> dana: antron is here with "the washington post." glad you can be wi

a russian w.b. a champion. and a russian mob stuff. show you how. long the crimean bridge was built. witnessed the construction of a unique transport doughtery that will help the cause of crimea. most of those you know while google more familiar with it a bit but it's clear. the very idea of a trumpet he summit was controversial from the start they met in helsinki and essentially agreed the u.s. and russia should at least think agent dialogue to start a process of mending a very damaged relationship much of the media in the foreign policy swamp reacted with an apocalyptic meltdown has the establishment its mind. it's hard to imagine the decades after the war a nazi don't there was still active bridge in the nineteen seventies kryten tell had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at auschwitz a german company develops and admired a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy. it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything but. you know she said is just good choic

a russian w.b. . and a russian mob stuff. show you how. long the crimean bridge was built. witnessed the construction moving you need to transport. that will help out of crimea. most of those you won't go for more familiar with it a bit but. right we're all set to start in five guys this year has a signal. that it's not going to talk about. just me right after the mars explorers one movie but if they're looking. for new rock. to say last week. you. know the answer to your welcome to sophie and tell i'm sophie shevardnadze and today i woke up lots to talk about in our program and our guest is . the rock that. it. gets. us. greetings and salutation. turncoat traitor treason those were the accusations being thrown around the washington d.c. political news echo chamber on monday in the aftermath of the summit between u.s. president donald trump and russian president vladimir putin from the. former head of the cia john brennan exclaiming on twitter that quote donald trump's press conference performance in helsinki rises to and exceeds the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanor

what is the russian government saying? >> reporter: well, they, as expected, jake, have issued their denial with meddling in the u.s. election. it came this time from the russian foreign ministry and using the language donald trump uses for the mueller investigation and the allegations of collusion with the russians. they said washington is struggling to reanimate old fake news about the alleged russian interference in the election. they went on to say it's a heap of conspiracy, again, a categorical denial. it's a graphic. obviously, the purpose of this bogus story is to spoil the atmosphere of the summit. the forces of the united states and relations between our countries. two years they have been working with outright slander, working to squeeze the most out of the next dummy. use the same language president trump uses and cast it in the same way he does. this is politically motivated, this is fake news, there's no basis for it. it's the work of his political opponent. so, there's been some speculation, this may lead to

he would have served the russian president with these indocuments, would have demanded the 12 russian intelligence officers or better yet would have canceled this conference and would have ratcheted up the tensions to their appropriate level. the united states was attacked. the united states remains under attack, and now we have a president who's ready to give russia whatever they want. and he just doesn't believe what he sees before his own eyes. >> are you surprised that we engage in a time worn procedure of naming and shaming in this document? is there any pay back for that? because we name all the russians. >> no. this is the bad point about this, there's going to be no consequences for these russian intelligence officers. they, in fact, the last group of russians we caught here, including ana chapman, the illegals who were spies leaving in the deep state in cover, they were promoted and heroes in russia. she actually is putin's favorite spy. i think these guys will be reassigned within the cyber security world. and to a certain extent they'll have a level of notoriety. but for us

you're going to hear we guarding this this russian citizen she is called a russian agent what is missed completely is that agent should be referred to as a lobbyist and agent in law in american law means a representative of when american media say agent they think secret agent. i speak in eyes agent you know something nefarious something involving behind the scenes something illegal or something that is other than an agent this particular person was charged with basically being a lobbyist and asons without having registered with the department of justice could more indictments happen absolutely will the media american media clarify what that means absolutely not. hundreds of thousands of people packed into the seans it is a comparison to give a hero's welcome to the victorious world cup squad the winners were taken to the presidential residence where they were greeted by a man run across to the a with the. he said he was thank you both so that was she said i wasn't seeing her so i think the only thing she was right was she was nice i was going. i. was extremely phrase right and she was

be russians there and russians should do the questioning. do you believe on that deal itself that putin has any intention of allowing those russians, some of whom, of course, are senior members of the russian military with direct ties to putin himself, to be interviewed by american investigators? >> the whole thing is a big sham from top to bottom. so there was the same story when alexander litvinenko was killed in london with pollulutonium. they allowed the british police to come to question the alleged killer, but when push came to shove and the british police wanted to have him prosecuted, vladimir putin raised his hand and said, we don't allow the extradition of our nationals. so it's of no value whatsoever for anybody from u.s. law enforcement to go to russia to allow the russians to interrogate these people when they're never going to be brought to justice in the united states. this is just putin playing games with trump and sort of playing games with the american public as well. then throwing my name into the hopper to make it even mo

the russians have been the russians since stalin. they're the sameaneople year in year out and romney was right in 2012. i think the american media is trying to infu donald trump with a sort of willful blindness he doesn't demonstrate. >> what the heck a you talking about the media? this isjohn mccain. this is actual -- this is mark warner. these are serious officials on both sides. this is not thea. me that's such a cop-out. >> no. the commentary around -- >> i'm tired of that. >> it tries to make trump look unprepared for be when he has pompeo -- >> it's people inside the white house saying it. hugh. >> the only preparation has been john bolton going over last week and pursuing a policy that's completely the opposite of what they have espoused in their entire carner. >> it's thing to talk about the spying but when it's turning americans against americans and that was their point is nr americans trust, not just the political parties and the political institutionsut not to trust the fbi and any other institution. that to me is more w

putin which will come days after announcement of indictments against russian officers for actions relating to 2016 election. the president tweeting about his upcoming meeting this morning saying, i have arrived in scotland and will be at trump berry for golf. weather is beautiful and this place is incredible, tomorrow i go to monday meeting with vladimir putin. white house correspondent kevin corke in scotland with more. hello, kevin. >> mike, always good to be with you and we can share a bit of breaking news, fox news can confirm that the president and president trump vladimir putin will conduct a joint news conference availability monday given time difference probably early in the day, keep in mind they are 7 hours ahead of us in east coast, that's coming up monday, a joint press availability with president trump and putin to fox news sources covering the white house. as the president made his way to scotland greeted by protests although nowhere on the other that we saw in london, england yesterday, still scattered protests throughout here in scotland, most notably over in edinburghs hs

he talked about the russians using gustifer 2.0. which americans were talking and were they being duped? what are those individuals telling the special counsel? any number of questions we will now cease and out of control -- out of this. shery: we have 30 indictments, people linked to president trump , to his campaign, but also russians. we have not seen evidence linking the two, that there was some form of collusion. in if this drags on, what happens to the investigation which has been dubbed a witchhunt? >> there is not yet any evidence of criminal collusion. but the investigation is still ongoing. what we will see now is continued speculation, continued back-and-forth politically over this and continued back-and-forth politically over president trump keeps insisting told him that there was no russian government interference in the election. these indictments are pretty inclusively showing that is false. >> he said there is no collusion but i talked to lawmakers on capitol hill in the republican party who rolled her eyes on that.

the russian federation. the criminal complaint goes on to describe what seems to be a russian government supported effort to use alexander and maria to influence the republican party and the united states. using the nra as the russian point of leverage. and it is clear that the political party in question is the republican party. and the gun rights organization is definitely the nra. that's how you have to read it. the fbi retains what they call her project proposal for this spying operation. if you insert the proper announces, it is pretty surprising what she says as of march 2015 she was trying to do. this is her project proposal. the first line reads, project description. diplomacy. it goes on to state that a major political party, the republican party, would likely obtain control over the u.s. government after the 2016 elections. the project proposal says the republican party is traditionally associated with negative and aggressive foreign policy, particularly with regard to russia. however, now with the

he would have served the russian president with these indictments, would have demanded the 12 russian intelligence officers or better yet would have cancelled his conference and would have ratcheted up the tensions to the appropriate level. the united states was attacked. the united states remains under attack. we have a president who is ready give russia whatever they want and he doesn't believe what he sees before his own eyes. >> are you surprised that we engage in a procedure of naming and shaming in this document? is there any pay back for that because we name a lot of russians. >> no. this is the bad point about this. there is going to be no consequences for these russian intelligence officers. the last group of russians we brought here, the illegals who were spies living in the united states, they were promoted. they were heros in russia. she is putin's favorite spy. i think they will be reassigned within the cyber security world. for us, they can't travel any where else in the world. they have warrants now out there that will be put out for their arrest. but what this shows is

sergey kislyak was the russian ambassador to the united states during the russian attack on our election. he is the guy who played such a key role in that intelligence operation, those active measures. he's now back in moscow, received tons of awards as soon as he got back. he is now an elected official. yeah, why not hang out with him if you're a visiting american? sergey kislyak told the post the main thing about this is that our guests travel here in order to talk. this is probably good confirmation of a readiness to start a dialogue. to be clear, he presumably means the kind of dialogue that you don't need a back channel secure phone line at the russian embassy to talk to jared kushner, right? that was a different kind of dialogue he was working on before in his other job. the head of this inexplicable republican only republican delegation to russia, ahead of this inexplicable russian delegation to russia today, bloomberg news reported in this sort of adorable headline that the republicans traveling to russia, quote, hope to tell putin that election meddling has to stop. that's befor

my russian's not good enough to translate into the russian but you saw is a statement from a kremlin spokesperson confirming the president's ker spective referring to the investigation promm ulgated by those in the government, get bedwloond to make the relationship healthy once again. it's clear the president must like or embrace the fact the opposing side at this meeting is siding with him, now he's one of a very small group of people here who still maintains the russians had no active involvement in the election? >> yet that comment he made during the campaign. russia, if you have those 30,000 e-mails let's see them, basically. >> we now see a new relief in light of what we read yesterday? >> yes. it's a set of complicated feelings. right? clearly appreciated any help he could get in the election. on a personal ego level i think he's oh fenld fend -- offended was responsible except for him in winning the election. he has this long relationship with russia that goes back, he writes tab in the art of the deal published in 1987. his visit to soviet moscow, and his talks with soviet of

and the russian government. now that's not actually what the affidavit says it says that she was developing relations with u.s. persons and infiltrating organizations having influence in american politics for the purpose of advancing the interest of the russian federation the algae geishas that she was lobbying not that she was doing any spying or anything to that effect now what's also interesting is the affidavit mentions that an exchange she allegedly had with a russian government official was titled posner two point zero and this is of course a reference to lattimer posner now the f.b.i. goes on to describe the as a lot of your posner the russian american t.v. personality as quote a propagandist who worked in the dissin from ation department of the soviet k.g.b. now lattimer posner has spoken up and said he never had any contact with the k.g.b. and did not work with the k.g.b. it's also interesting to note that according to the f.b.i. affidavit she was communicating with government officials in russia over t

we are up to our necks in russians and russian influence in this country right now. it was another one of those days and tonight, it just got more serious with a bold story in the past hour from "the new york times" which if true, makes suspect everything the president has said about the russians since being president. the times reporting it this way, quote, two weeks before his inauguration, donald j. trump was shown highly classified intelligence indicaing vladimir p. putin of russia ordered complex to sway the election and a top secret source close to mr. putin who decided how the kremlin decided to execute the hacking and disinformation. mr. trump sounded convince aid cording to several people who attended but ever since, mr. trump tried to cloud the clear findings. today the president was asked a question about the interference. he answered it and the white house said in effect we heard it wrong. before we hear his latest remark, here is the briefest thing he said followed by his attempt on a fix on tuesday. >> dan coats came to me and said they think it's russi

it was russian. the program was the internet research agency that had ties to the kremlin a net worth of thousands of fake american social media accounts and it only took them a few hours to post about the shooting of philandro castille. >> tell your friends and family about our protest. >> the only thing strange ab it, this page is run from st st. petersburg, russia. >> i don't like it at all. for one thing, you are using my son's face. you understand what i'm say something this is my son. god gave him to me, nobody had the right to take him from me. then to take a sad situation an exploit it, you know and for them to use my baby. no. >> the world knows philandro castille's name because of facebook. it's where his girl friend began to shoot live after he was shot. it's where his friends and family turned to organizer after he died. it's where the russian troll group would seek the tragedy. >> you take social issues and you are making a joke out of them. these are things that we stand about truth and

"russian an russian operatives talked about their stolen material with, quote, a person who was in regular contact with senior members of the president ial campaign of donald j. trump. many pointing to roger stone tonight as that person. he is denying it. the americans impacted here go far beyond those kind of political elites. in this filing, again, all this new stuff we're just getting into our newsroom and figuring out today, in this filing, mueller says the russians stole personal information for half a million americans. the illinois state board of elections. this, of course, all comes at the moment when the president is having tea with queen elizabeth and three days before he's due to sit down with vladimir putin. a meeting that makes the trump administration look far weaker with the doj saying today that donald trump, he knew about these charges before we did, before the public did, before anyone heard about it when this filing came out from the grand jury today. he knew as of last week. democrats saying trump should cancel this meeting, top republicans not joining that request as o

they feet is an artifact of first russian people that came to alaska. a legale following doctrine called the doctrine of discovery that gave europeans and any christian nation a primacy in claiming title to land and resources. they did not recognize any native claim to alaska. instead, this doctor and require them to put proof, physical proof, of their presence on the land in the form of metal tablets or other artifacts like this one which was buried underground in secret locations. another country challenged the russians claim to alaska, they could say, there is a place here that we place there in 1841 that is inhe country is an -- our possession and that would be legal proof of their ownership in what drove a lot of the europeans and americans to furka was the riches in that could be found, the sea otter furs. 1770's, five different countries were active in alaska, all going after sea otters. in the russians first came into alaska, in the 1700s, they enlisted to help them hunt sea otters, many of the allete, now called something else, and kodiak islan

robeho: one of the people interacted with these russians or these russian-affiliated entities was roger stone, the longtime trump advisors. what does this indictment mean for him? >> i think it may be ok for him so far. department attorney general rolled rosenstein said today we should not assume any implication of guiltor any of the americans who are referenced in this indictment. but what does show is that the russians were reaching out, that they were offering help. that they had a real willingness to ask, frankly, re people arounddent trump, can he -- we help full? robert: when you think about the mueller investigation, it has to tracks. there's the russia track looking at interference in the elecreon and then t the obstruction of justice track. what does today, theofiming it, say about mueller's progress? >> i think it says something that we've sort of long suspected which is that the u.s. government, the intelligence community has had a good idea for someim exactly how this hacking was done. i think mueller's indictment lays its out in detail. we still have an unanswere question s

russian rock. to this day what do you think about what it has become thirty five years later and do you think it would still fast.

russian president vladimir putin addressed russian ambassadors in moscow today where he talked about foreign policy objectives and diplomatic efforts he referenced the recent helsinki summit with president trump and accused the u.s. of down playing what he felt were positive results of the meeting. president putin was joined on stage and introduced by russian foreign minister

to the russian federation. and things like this. and it is really important point for me, for example, as a point of part of the team because we had the international arbitration award for 50 billion and we were trying to enforce it around the globe against the russian federation. it's not that easy. i mean, it is now on hold because of the decision but still in future it's possible. still won't face that issue of sovereign immunity of assets of russian federation. but on the other side of that, if we insist that the sovereign immunity is removed that will be against our national interest because the same moment we do it here, the protection is removed from various united states assets in, say, russia. so it would need to be carefully at least in this. u.s. government normally reject this option thinking about the protection of the national interest. >> let me take that purely economic side of it. central banker reserves are typically given full sovereignty, not necessarily for a country like iran. but with reg

grants russian prosecutors similar access to accused u.s. nationals and particularly he mentioned businessman bill browder whose colleagues were accused by put now funneling four hundred million dollars legally earned in russia to hillary clinton's presidential campaign on tuesday the russian prosecutor's office published a list of people ed would like to question the biggest surprise was perhaps michael mcfaul former u.s. ambassador to moscow well there are also several other state department officials as well as u.s. intelligence officers of the list former british and my six agent christopher steele who was behind the end to mr trump while as also wanted for questioning by russia. we needed to do two years afterward mickey mouse that unless we are talking about foreign intelligence officers in particular from the us who shaped the false testimony against the russian national in the case of the us against the present company they also provided assistance in the criminal activities of william browder a businessman convicted by russian court

much less a russian official. it's something we don't do unless there's some type of formal approval. meeting one-on-one with a russian intelligence officer, that's something that cia officers are well trained to be able to be aware of what they might try to do, to exploit that relationship. >> john, what do you see now as russian foreign policy goes what do you think putin's definition of success is and how close after this week, how close do you think he is to realizing success? >> well, i think he is very confident and comfortable now that mr. trump will not hold mr. putin and the russians to account for interference in the election. i think they are rejoicing at how well the helsinki summit went. mr. putin might be concerned that trump went beyond where he should have gone and now it's making it very difficult for trump to continue in this, you know, with this relationship because of the outcry from both sides of the aisle. so i think mr. putin is thinking that trump has gone well beyond what was seen as accep

>> the russians are quite open about that. they do come out and they say, look, we need a strong gru, we need a strong fsb around the world because they obviously, they feel that america is infringing on them and they want to be the strong state so they're quite open about the fact that they are strengthening these organizations and they're asking these organizations like the fsb, like the gru, to do more than they have before. now, whether or not this case is one of those things -- >> but they pose more of a threat to western democracy. >> absolutely. the russians are very open they want to strengthen their intelligence services and want them to do more than they have in the past. >> and even after all of this, we know from sources that putin still wants to collaborate with the u.s. in these ways, with the cyber unit. we expect him to raise that during this summit. that was outright rejected the first time he raised it, that the u.s. and russia would work together on this cyber security unit. so we expect him to raise that ag

russian national maria butina with being a spy for the russian government in the united states. she appeared in court here in d.c. on monday. the justice department announced she was charged with conspireing against the u.s. as a foreign agent. according to reporting, butina spent years making in-roads to promote russian interests. she and kremlin linked banker had close ties with the leadership of the national rifle association. it appeared to use that group as the primary avenue of influence. the nra did not respond to a request for comment. during the campaign, she tried to arrange a covert back channel of communication with then candidate trump and russian president putin. although it doesn't appear they were successful. as for butina, her lawyer insists she is not a russia agent but graduate student living in the u.s. and trying to foster a better relationship with u.s. and russia. sara murray, cnn, washington. >>> thank you. >> if you ran into trouble on amazon's web site yesterday, you were not alone. they were rough. more on the prime day problems next. i'm a small busin

russian government. and they were using those to influence the campaign. this is where social media and hacking had come together for this influence. this is where that indictment fits really well with that february one, which was also of great detail. it shoots down alternative theories about the dnc breach. if you remember, the conspiracies about seth rich. maybe this came from alternative locations. it pushes back on media personalities who have levered these conspiracies as well. it's important to note that putin has consistently used the answer, it was not of, you have no proof of it, show us. this is an indictment, and there's a whole lot of proof in here. and so when we look to monday, whenever president trump is going in with president putin, he cannot accept that answer anymore that it was patriotic russians. it was clearly putin's russians that were doing his business. >> matt miller, former chief spokesman for the justice department. as clint just pointed out, this was hard evidence, alleged.

and she did focus, again, on the russians actions here, or russian intervention in the election. instead, it was quite a defensive statement. pointing out today's charges include no allegations of any involvement on anyone on the campaign. and this is consistent with what we have been saying all along. notable, first of all, that she's referring to the alleged hacking here. even though we do know that e-mails were indeed hacked during the 2016 election. furthermore, the focus again here is really on defending the president and his campaign from any suggestion that they were involved in any of these russian activities. all of this, of course, coming as the president prepares for his meeting with russian president vladimir putin. u.s. officials have touted this as the first of the high-level summit between the two leaders. this will be the most extensive meeting today. so far, the president has indicated that he does plan to raise election meddling again. at the same time, the president yesterday speaking alongside the british prime minister theresa may, making it clear that he doe

maybe the russians taped trump in that meeting which the russians can use for their own purposes. however they want. they can even presumably doctor such a tape if they wanted to if they wanted to make it appear that trump said something in that meeting that he didn't say but they wanted to make it look like he said that. why not? there's no other american who can corroborate what happened. why wouldn't the russians make up something absolutely to their advantage. and say that's what trump agreed to. then maybe even put out the tape that problems it. we're at their mercy. we'll find out when we find out. anything could happen. as proof of that, you should also know from a different angle that this happened today in washington. this is the sort of thing we tend to think of as impossible now. your eyes do not deceive you. that is a 98-0 vote. that is the senate voting unanimously that the president may be shouldn't send former american diplomats and other u.s. officials and u.s. citizens over to russia to be interrogated by the russian government just because vladimir putin told tru

because he told us russian relations. you think it's a no brainer one candidate hillary says she wants to will but crush russia the other candidates trump says he wants to be friends why is this scandalous who on earth would back the person that hates them why they acting surprised that might have been the only honest moment of this news conference when the reproducer yes he did around president trumka went yeah it's still not a secret it was never a secret who can just like any other world leader preferred a certain candidate that's best for his country and no it isn't shocking because it's happened before here's what putin told us r.t. in two thousand and twelve about candid it barack obama it's just sort of. feels i think he's the only he really wants to change much for the bits not but can he really achieve let's move a little you go by today's logic the bomber must have been a russian poor why else would putin support him there's no other explanation but seriously we wanted to see what people think about this like ca

/russian relations is russian aggression in ukraine and syria. this was an attack by russia on our system. a cyber attack. >> do you think one of the crucial results from the summit could be a deal on the middle east or on syria? you heard all of this writing and intelligence about quid pro quo. trump agreeing for russia trying to get him to leave? >> i have been waved off from state department official that there will be any communication or joint statement as a result of this meeting. they don't want to call it a summit. they are calling it a meeting. they will talk about syria. if there is one area where the united states and russia can cooperate better is on syria. the system has broken down. our presence is based on isis. russia wants to prop up assad because they want to keep a toe-hold. >> if president trump gets russia to agree to get something for assad staying, russia and iran win. >> they will win. exactly. listen, you and i have talked about this many times and i have been on several meetings with k kerry after lavrov. the russians ca

, it was russian officials tied to the russian military and tied to russian military intelligence that took direction from the kremlin in engaging in this activity. and, of course, both we're understanding the individuals, but who they're tied to and actions that they took is the best way in helping us to prepare to prevent that nefarious activity in the future. neil: but a lot of it would involve getting our hands on these guys and talking to them, right? these members of the gru, i guess they're the e e give rent of the russian federal intelligence agency. it means finding out how they did it and who was involved maybe with them on it. good luck on that, right? >> yeah. i mean, that obviously won't happen, but the fact that we've been able to find out their names, the departments that they've worked in, this is obviously a very thorough investigation that has to stand up in a court of law, and there's also based on this activity, it sends a potential deterrent signal that future activity will be found out by the u.s. government and the people involved will be held accountable. and, o

crimea is russians people spoke the russian language there this is a see these weren't comments made publicly but they were widely reported that some of something that went down very badly here sees crimea as an integral part of its territory and will have to react very strongly to any suggestion that the u.s. might see that otherwise having said that ukraine is very dependent on u.s. support a really wide range of issues so if one of its top back is would recognize even tacitly russian control of crimea that would really plunge ukraine into a diplomatic crisis and i do want to ask you about this because at the same time the u.s. has also increased its role we should say in mediating a solution in the east of the country with their special envoy kurt volker as well do you think that ukraine here has the feeling or does the american ministration really support ukraine's interests here or russia where does that stand again we have that that's like disconnect and it's shown and president trumps rhetoric and the difference between president trump and the administration that he leads you

that's actual russian propaganda from russian state media. same headline. this is garbage time. this is deliberate nonsense time. but here's ars indication that this isn't just small stuff and transparent propaganda and disappearing facts we all know are true. it's the most serious stuff in the world, too. go back to the putin/trump summit from last week. in addition to the two the interacting with reporters at that conference, there was also the one-on-one meeting that happened between putin and trump for which our president specifically asked that no other u.s. officials be present because no other u.s. officials were present, we have idea what was agreed to by our president in that meeting. he still made no public account of what happened in that meeting, what he might have agreed to or what was discussed. russia, however, keeps making new announcements about all the things they say trump agreed to in that meeting. and, of course, there's no way of factually countering anything they might assert about what might have been discuss order what trump might have agreed to or not.

president donald trump has arrived home to severe criticism after siding with the russian president vladimir putin on accusations of election meddling speaking after their summit and fed cast doubt on his own intelligence agencies which found evidence of interference. the european union and japan have signed a free trade deal that will eliminate nearly all tariffs presenting a united front as the trumpet ministration puts up trade barriers it is the use of biggest deal today to creating a trading zone covering six hundred million people and nearly a third of the global economy or the day after warning the u.s. china and russia against starting a trade war the european council president says this agreement sends a clear message. we have. the largest bailout the world trade. this is a locked of strategic importance for the rules based international order at the time when the questioning dissolved. reoffending a clear message that we stand together against protection is. a u.k. based investigative agency has obtained documents revealing an expensive lobbying effort by the u.a.e. and britain and
