party. the report says the goal was also to undermine confidence in the u.s. election and to further divide the american people. let's go straight to our senior national security correspondent alex marquardt who is working the story for us. alex, this very detailed, lengthy, declassified report says proxies linked to russian intelligence and to putin directly pushed misleading, you be substantiated allegations against now president biden, pushed those allegations to american media organizations, officials, prominent individuals, including some very close to the former president. >> reporter: that's right, wolf. it says russian intelligence at the behest of vladimir putin, the russian president, targeted allies and people close to trump and hits administration. this is the most comprehensive report we've gotten about the 2020 election and foreign intelligence by the intelligence community and it makes clear that this massive russian influence campaign was designed, orchestrated by putin to denigrate joe biden and to support the re-election of president drew. i want to read you one. key findings about russia's involvement. the intelligence community says we assess that russian president putin authorized and range of organizations denigrated president biden's candidacy and the democratic party supporting former president trump, u.n. mining public confidence in the electoral process and exacerbating sociopolitical divisions in the u.s. that's the goal of all these influence campaigns to sow division and undermine confidence in our election but russia was going farther. they were working against biden and for trump and they were doing it through proxies who they say met with and provided materials to people in the trump orange. i want to read you a little bit more of what they say. a key element of moscow's strategy this election cycle was its use of proxies linked to russian intelligence to push narratives including misleading or unsubshan shaped allegations to president biden to u.s. media organizations and prominent u.s. officials including some close to former president trump and his administration. now they don't name the people who are close to president trump and his administration, but we do know that one. people who is named in this report andre darakoc had met and had contacts with rudy giuliani who was president trump's personal lawyer. and it goes even farther and says that president putin had purview over the activities of andre durcoch and details, wolf, the activities of iran which it says used a multi-pronged approach in its influence efforts to undermine the election and to -- and against president trump, and interestingly when it talks about china, it says that russia -- that china essentially decided to sit this one out and decided that it wasn't worth impacting its relationship with the u.s. and did not carry out any influence operations against -- in the presidential election in 2020. >> alex, tell what is this lengthy report indicates about foreign actors, whether russia or china or iran, actually tampering with votes here in the united states, part of the voting process. >> yeah, this is a very important point we need to make, wolf. all of the efforts that they lay out in this intelligence report talk about influence operations. they say that the votes themselves were not tampered with by any of these foreign countries, that the voting process technically was not tampered with by these foreign countries. they say in the report we have no indications that any foreign actor attempted to alter any technical aspect of the voting process in the 2020 u.s. elections, including voter registration, casting ballots, vote tabulation or reporting results. now the department of homeland security said something similar the day after the election that foreign actors had not tampered with any votes. this goes farther and says that they didn't even attempt to. wolf, the name of the game in the 2020 election was the influence operations. >> very important indeed, alex. i want you to stand by and go to the white house. our cnn white house correspondent phil mattingly is joining us. phil, we're learning the biden administration is already planning a response to this election meddling. what are you hearing? >> that's right. the biden administration will respond and will respond quickly with sanctions likely as soon as next week. that's what u.s. officials are telling our colleagues kylie atwood. what you're seeing from the biden administration is something they made very clear from the president on down from the day they took office, that there would be a response if they felt there was an attack in any way, shape or form from russia. those sanctions will also likely apply to iran as well according to the officials, but this is obviously a change in tone from the very top of the white house and this isn't the first time sanctions have been applied to the country of russia by president biden's administration. obviously applying sanctions to individuals just a few weeks ago related to the poisoning and attempted murder of alexei navalny, the opposition leader in the country, and the expectation is whatever they do in the weeks ahead related to this report specifically, that also will not be the end of u.s. action as it relates to russia. keep in mind, wolf, the u.s. is still in a very, very in-depth investigation into the solar winds hack, the massive hack that was able to puncture u.s. government agencies to a depth that i think still u.s. officials are trying to get their heads around right now, and it's very clear that there will be a response from the u.s. on those lines as well, likely in the coming weeks as swell what administration officials are saying right now. so from the very top, president biden with the first conversation from russia president vladimir putin made very clear there's a serious number of issues from the u.s. would stand firm on if they felt they would be challenged. election interference was mentioned in that call according to a readout from the white house. now the white house is ready to respond, wolf, in the coming days. >> yeah. this is going to be a very, very significant development. le phil mattingly at the white house, thank you. want to bring back alex mar quad along with our correspondents abby philip and john king as well as former counterintelligence official phil mudd. the report lays out scope of the 2020 election interference by russia and others. how significant is it to see in a declassified intelligence version issued on behalf of not just the cia but entire u.s. intelligence community? >> there's a couple of things you need to focus on to -- to think about this and put it in context, wolf. let me give you a few. one, i was surprised at how unanimous the report is. there's a little bit of dissent in the report, but having served in the intelligence community, people in that community fight all the time there. appears to be a lot of unanimity across the -- the intelligence community about how much is going on. also the levels of confidence in that report, that seems boring to outsiders, but people on the inside spend a lot of time trying to figure out how confident they should portray their findings. the one thing i would close on, wolf, what you're talking about in terms of significance is four or five years ago the u.s. intelligence community was unprepared and extremely uncomfortable talking about foreign interference in u.s. elections. we've come a long way in five years to the point where the intel guys are saying not only will we do this but we'll declassify it pretty quickly and it's going to become part of our regular basis. it's a new cyber world, wolf. >> it is. john, let me just reiterate one of the key judgments from this lengthy report. it says this, and i'll put it back up on the screen. we assess that russian president putin authorized and a range of government organizations conducted influence operations aimed at denigrating president biden's candidacy and the democratic party supporting former president trump, undermining public confidence in the electoral process and exacerbating sociopolitical divisions in the u.s. four goals on the part of russia. they clearly failed to get trump re-elected. that was number one. that was their top goal. russia didn't try to change the vote count, didn't interfere in actual ballot counting or anything like that, but putin certainly did succeed in one of the main objectives, namely sowing dissent, chaos, division here in the united states. >> well, he did in the sense that there's still the big trump lie and putin's goals were helped by the former president of the united states repeating lies about who was -- about what foreign actors were interfering the most about, whether the election was rigged or not. think back what happened in those days. remember when christopher wray, the fbi director testified before congress and said during the election that russia was at this in a much more nefarious way, much more direct way than china. president trump back when he was still on twitter attacked the fbi director but it wasn't just president helping vladimir putin sow chaos about the situation. the director ratcliffe did this. the national security adviser mr. o'brien did, secretary pompeo did this and bill barr the attorney general did this in an interview including with you. they all talked about how it was china much greater than russia. that was a lie and the intelligence they had access to told them that. >> they certainly d.i'll read that sentence from the report. this is one of the key judgments as they call that in this intelligence community report. we assess china did not deploy interference efforts and considered but did not deploy influence efforts intended to change the outcome of the u.s. presidential election. that's what trump had alleged clearly. trump was wrong. abe, in 2020 we had the incredible situation where a sitting president was actively spreading a lot of this misinformation about the election results. this report is clear, and it states, among other things, let me put it up on the screen. we have no indications that any foreign actor attempted to alter any technical aspect of the voting process in the 2020 u.s. elections, including voter registration, casting ballots, vote tabulation or reporting results. it goes pretty far in debunking all the wild claims made by trump and his allies. >> right. i think that that is the good news part of that part of the report which is that the foreign actors who tried to interfere didn't do so in a practical sense in the sense of trying to change the actual votes that were cast, but, on the other hand, one of their main objectives was to sow division by undermining confidence in the u.s. electoral process. that is an objective that is shared not just by russia but also by iran, according to this report, and it's also shared apparently by former president trump who has spent months doing the very same thing. there is -- i think what is -- what is important about this report in part, not just what russia did to interfere, but also just the idea that american actors are furthering the aims and the goals of foreign entities, and that should be an alarm bell and wake-up call for people in this country that undermining confidence in our electoral process is something that foreign actors are trying to do and they are being assisted by people in the united states. >> you know, it's interesting, alex. that's a very significant point. the adversary whether, are china or iran, they clearly want to see the u.s. as weakened as possible. that's why they try to sow all this chaos, all this political dissent, socioeconomic dis-september, racial dissent here in the united states because they think that weakens the u.s. around the world. it clearly does, by the way. last year, alex, i interviewed the then attorney general bill barr. he said unequivocally that china was the biggest threat on election interference. this report says china didn't deploy influence efforts at all. they thought about it but they desueded not to do it, so how do other foreign adversary interference efforts compare in this report to the russian efforts? >> really one of the most remarkable parts because back before the election we were saying we were having the whole debate who was the bigger threat, russia or china, the fbi director as we just heard was saying that russia was really the most involved, and here we had the intelligence community saying china sat this out. they decided that they wanted to preserve the stability of the relationship. they decided they did not want to carry out any influence operations on this election and that their influence operations more broadly, of which there are many and they are significant on the united states to influence u.s.-china policy were sufficient, so china didn't really do anything. iran was the other major player in this election. the intelligence community now saying that their influence operations were likely, probably authorized by the supreme leader ali khomeini. they creed social media accounts as part of this influence operation to sow discord and sow the divisions. they had one of the most high-profile incidents in the election when they sent e-mails to try to scare democratic voters posing as proud boys. that was iran that was behind that. this report does go on to talk about other countries that were involved, cuba, venezuela. they talk about hezbollah, the militant group out of lebanon, but none of those countries compare to what russia and iran did during the election. wolf? >> certainly that's true. you know, john, the report reveals that people very close to the former president trump, they were specifically targeted by russian intelligence agencies. is there still more to learn on those russian links because the accusation in the report is that the targeting of these associates of trump succeeded in getting the russian message televised on various channels and get it out there in the media. >> without a doubt, wolf, and it again shows just the poor judgment or if you judge the man by company he keeps, rudy giuliani is exhibit a there. mr. durpac was not viewed as an honest citizen. he was viewed as close to the kremlin and he was in giuliani's orbit. now that you have a new report that is declassified, the democrats control the house and senate. do they want to hold, will they hold additional hearings on this to air it out, or will they be more forward looking? that's a question for the democrats in congress as this plays out, but without a doubt, you know, we don't need to go through the no conclusion debate all over again but yet again it shows you people very close to the former president in his orbit were associating with very well-known bad actors. >> and it's significant that the u.s. intelligence community released this lengthy report today. i suspect it wouldn't have been released if president -- if then president trump -- if trump would have been re-elected but we'll have more on that. everybody stand by. we'll also discuss rush efforts to influence the 2020 presidential election with the chairman of the house intelligence committee, represent taif adam schiff. he had's standing by live. also ahead, president biden heads to

among the russian goals denigrating joe biden, supporting donald trump's re-election, undermining public confidence in the u.s. electoral process and trying to create as much political chaos in the united states as possible. we're joined by the chairman of the house intelligence committee, california democratic representative adam schiff. congressman, thanks so much for joining us. how significant is it to see all these details laid out in great specificity on behalf of the entire u.s. intelligence community? >> well, i think it's wonderful that they put out this report, that they declassified this information. it's good to have an intelligence community doing what it should, and, you know, sadly, that was not the case over the last four years under the leadership of people like john radcliffe or bill barr for that matter who willingly and willfully misrepresented the intelligence to the american people. this report demonstrates that now. they were out hyping the threat to our elections from china, suggesting that china was more deeply engaged in trying to influence the outcome than russia. that just wasn't true and we knew it wasn't true and they knew it wasn't true and we just can't have leaders of our law enforcement or intelligence agencies merely speaking in an-year that they think the president wants to hear. >> russia didn't succeed in getting trump re-elected but can putin claim mission accomplished for sowing chaos and distrust in the american elect call system and other institutions. >> i think he can certainly feel that his efforts paid off over the last four or six years. in particular the -- the russians pushed out this false narrative of the former president that the elections were the subject of massive fraud. the russians amplified that message that americans can't trust their own electoral system. obviously a very deeply destructive message that wouldn't gain much traction with americans except for the fact that donald trump was also pushing this kremlin narrative and, you know, that -- that made it even more pernicious, more damaging and destructive. we have to get to a point where both parties agree to shun any foreign interference, to condemn any foreign interference if they are offered stolen e-mails, that are hacked from either party, to turn them down and report to the fbi, that's the only way that we protect ourselves is developing that consensus. it was very hard to do while donald trump was in office. i hope we can do it now. >> clearly the russians wanted to. what the russians tried to do for many, many years, sow as much political chaos and distrust in the united states as possible because that would weaken the u.s. globally. >> the report did find no indication, congressman, that any foreign actor actually changed ballots or results. how much does that undercut some of the conspiracy theories that have been and continued to be spun about the integrity of the u.s. election? >> well, i think it -- it should help a lot. the former president was pushing this idea that there were going to be millions of fraud leapt ballots mailed in from other countries. there's no evidence of that, and -- and i do think that the predominant threat in elections going forward as we've seen in elections past is less changing the actual votes and more changing the voters, influencing the voters. the difference that the -- that of the report draws, the distinction between influence operations and interference, actually trying to change voter databases, but nonetheless very serious and pernicious and just because the russians decided not try to change the actual tallies in this cycle doesn't mean that they couldn't be more aggressive in the next, so we still need to harden the defenses of our elections infrastructure. >> that's absolutely true. trump's antipathy to the u.s. intelligence community, of course, was well-known, so what do you make of the timing of this report being released after he left office? do you think this kind of report could have been released while he was in office, or if he had been re-elected? >> it certainly could have been released while he was in office. the classified version was produced while he was in office, but this is -- this underscores the problem which is the intelligence community would not release information to the public that was contrary to the false narrative the president wanted to tell and so, you know, the president was not beyond firing leaders of the intelligence community even in the last days of his administration if he felt they were being disloyal, and in his view telling the truth to the public when it contradicted him was disloyal. >> very, very strong document, this unclassified foreign threats to the 2020 u.s. federal elections, word reading if you have a chance. i know you have. i have, but to our viewers, go ahead hand check it out. representative adam schiff as usual, thank you so much for joining

>> just want to stress that astrazeneca vaccine has not, repeat, has not been authorized for use in the united states. been authorized for use in europe but a lot of countries are putting forward a pause on using t.alexandra, thank you so much for that report. let get more on all of this with cnn medical analyst dr. leana wen and former city baltimore health commissioner as usual. thanks so much for joining us. let me get your thoughts on moderna's very new important trial for kids, for children, between the agesch only six months and 11 years old. can rereach herd immunity and end this pandemic without eventually, eventually vaccinating children? >> well, first of all, wolf, i'm very excited about the fact that these vaccine trials are starting in younger children. as a mom myself to an 11-month-old and 3-year-old and as a physician i'm excited because we know children are not just little results. their physiology is different. we need to study children hand make sure it's safe and effect any of children has well. as to whether we can reach herd immunity without kid, it's really difficult because we know that we need somewhere between 70% to 75% of people overall to have immunity either through vaccination or through recovery from infection, and so i think this is why we need for all adults who are eligible to get the vaccine as soon as possibility. remember that you're getting the vaccine to protect yourself but also to protect others around you, including our children who cannot yet be vaccinated. >> in europe, as you know, and as we reported, several countries now have suspended the use of this astrazeneca vaccine which has not been approved here in the united states. they have concerns about possible blood clots. is there any reason to worry that this particular vaccine has those kind of harmful side effects? i know a lot of experts are studying it. >> that's right. i do think that the study is very important and also that there need to be complete transparency with the investigation because people have understandably concerns about possible side effects, but i also want people to remember that there is the natural incidence of health conditions. whenever you're administering any kind of therapy to hundred of millions of people, those individuals are going to experience some health conditions totally separate from the vaccine just because we're studying so many individual, and so that's what needs to happen is to compare the prevalence of blood clots in the populations at large compared to those that have received the vaccine and see if there's any difference. so far it doesn't seem like there's any difference in prevalence, and so that kind of investigation is ongoing but needs to be reported in a full and transparent way. >> yeah. what worries me and i'm sure worries you is that all this discussion of that astrazeneca vaccine in europe and whether there are some damaging side effects could further accelerate the vaccine hesitancy we're seeing among parts of the population here in the united states, even though that vaccine has not been authorized for use in the united states. dr. wen, thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you, wolf. coming up, as new york governor andrew cuomo sticks to a strategy to survive sexual harassment scandals, we're going to speak with the attorney for one of his accusers when we come back. the embattled new york governor andrew cuomo is so far ignoring the growing calls from within his open party for him to resign over multiple allegations of sexual harassment. cnn's ryan nobles is in albany for us working the story. ryan, you have some new details i understand on governor cuomo's strategy to try to survive all these scandals. what are you learning? >> reporter: yeah, that's right, wolf. it's very clear that andrew cuomo isn't going anywhere, and what he is going to do is continue to just focus on his job as the state's governor, and this is perhaps the most busiest part of the legislative year for state lawmakers. the budget process is taking place right now and, of course, the governor is very focused on the state's response to the covid vaccine, the focus on getting vaccines in as many arms as possible, so what the governor plans to do, according to sources, is just ignore these scandals that are taking place around him and focus on that job on a day-to-day basis. he could be aided by the fact that the investigations into his conduct could take some time to resolve themselves, both the assembly speaker and the senate majority leader saying that they are not going to put a timeline as to how long these investigations could take to resolve themselves. listen to what andria stewart cousins, the senate majority leader, said about that today. >> i can't opine on what the assembly is, you know, what their process is or how long it should take. i really can't. as i said, i made my opinion clear that i think the governor should resign because, again, there is just so many allegations and so many different -- whether it's the nursing home data or sexual harassment, you know, i mean, there's, unfortunately, so many things that really would under any circumstance be extremely distracting. >> reporter: and keep in mind, we are talking about two separate investigations here. there's up that's been impanelled by leticia james, the state's attorney general, and then another being planned by the assembly speaker. they are expected to announce investigators, independent investigators later this week. now, wolf, the leadership here at the state legislature may be willing to take their time, but there are still many state lawmakers that would still like to see the governor resign. among them the u.s. senate majority leader chuck schumer who reiterated today in washington that he believes that it is time for andrew cuomo to step down. wolf? >> all right, ryan, thank you very much. ryan nobles in albany for us. joining us debra katz, the attorney for charlotte bennett, one of the women accusing governor cuomo of harassment. thank you so much for joining us. you said that your client charlotte bennett met with investigators for more than four hoursier, so describe the nature of the questions they asked. were they in line with what we heard from charlotte ben net her tv interview, or were investigators pushing for more specific details? >> the investigators are very skilled. they know what to do here. they took their time to ask very detailed questions. they understood the evidence, and they were very sensitive to the issues, but they are -- they are very experienced and know just what they are looking at. >> i was going to say did they get new information, more than show tell everyone in that cbs news interview? >> yes, and show turned over well over 120 pages of contemporaneous records that they are using to continue their investigation, but they are going to get this. they have already heard from other people. they have done the right thing. they have put up a hotline, a website to encourage other people to come forward, and other people are coming forward. this is going to be a very careful investigation, and yet they are moving with speed, and that's encouraging. >> what -- can you give us some details. the what was in those 120 pages, those text messages i assume and other details? >> yes. as governor cuomo was sexually harassing my client, she was writing her parents, she was writing her friends. she was telling hedge actly what was happening in live time, how scared she was and really confirming what you've heard from her in her interview on cbs and what you've seen in public reporting. she did a very good job of detailing this which is exactly why the governor has not denied the allegations. he's stuck with the allegations. he said i'm sorry i made you uncomfortable, but he can't deny it because he and everyone else knows that this is exactly what he said and did. >> based on what you observed during that lengthy, what, four-hour interview yesterday. >> yes. >> how far along would you say this investigation into governor cuomo is right now? >> i think it's still at the early stages where they are encouraging other victims of harassment to come forward, and they are. and they are at a stage where the more that they speak to people, the more that they know, but there are certain patterns that are quite evident and the kind of come-ons, the kind of misconduct that the governor engaged in that charlotte disclosed is what other women are saying as well, so we're seeing certain patterns. there are clear abuses of power here, and there are clear patterns of how his inner staff silenced women when they came forward, removed women when they came forward with allegations and just covered up for the governor, and we will see that in this report. i'm confident that have. >> was your client charlotte bennett the first accuser interviewed by these investigators? >> i don't believe so, no. >> do you know who was the first or the second for that matter? >> i'm not sure, but i -- i am confident from my conversations with other people that others have contacted the investigators as well. they are well into this. they have moved very quickly. in fact, the night that they were appointed, i got a call from poet investigators saying they are ready to go and they have a team of other lawyers who are working with them. they will get to this. they are very serious in these investigations. >> have you been contacted by other women who have not yet come forward publicly with allegations against the governor but they -- but they say they experienced similar harassment? >> yes. >> and so -- >> i have. >> what's happening with those other women? >> i think it's a very difficult and highly personal decision about whether to come forward. most women don't. most women fear retaliation and in fact the eeoc has done a comprehensive study of why women come forward and what happens to women when they come forward, and there's strong evidence that people experience sometimes career-derailing retaliation, so for those still working with the governor, they need to feel confident that if they come forward nothing will happen to them in the workplace, and for those women they may choose to go straight to the investigators rather than coming forward publicly, but it's a very personal choice and people are quite scared of him. >> are you formally representing any of those other women? >> i am not, no. i'm representing charlotte pep et. >> just charlotte bennett. >> yes. >> have you been contacted by the assembly man charles le vine or anyone else in albany about the impeachment investigation being carried out by the state assembly judiciary committee? >> we have not yet been contacted, but we've made it clear that miss bennett will cooperate with any and all appropriate investigations, so everyone who is involved in this will get at the truth and will have the benefit of her -- of her evidence. >> how is she doing? >> i think -- i think that courage begets courage. she was very scared to come forward and yet those who have heard her allegations have contacted her and thanked her for come forward because they themselves experimented similar harassment, and i think she made other people feel like they could come forward, too, so at this point she is feeling validated. she's feeling a good deal of support, and yet she's also feeling some backlash which you see any time someone, a woman has the audacity to come forward and report harassment against powerful people, so she's experiencing both, by think this has been an empowering experience for her to come forward. >> debra katz, thanks so much for joining us. >> inning that you for having me. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. >> coming up, the growing cries on the border as migrant crossings are on pace to reach the highest level in some 20 years. visible is wireless that doesn't play games. it's powered by verizon for as little as $25 a month. but it gets crazier. bring a friend every month and get every month for $5. boom! 12 months of $5 wireless. visible, wireless that gets better with friends. priceline works with top hotels, to save you up to 60%. these are all great. and when you get a big deal... you feel like a big deal. ♪ priceline. every trip is a big deal. get exactly what you want on wayfair. hi. last piece. -kelly clarkson?
