We begin with news, President Trumps vit to india, treated to what appears to be his biggest rally yet. The president and first lady were greeted by the indian Prime Minister and cheering onlookers before heading to a welcome rally at the Worlds Largest cricket stadium packed with 100,000 people. Before leaving the white house the president weighed in on the democratic race and lashed out at his own intelligence reports of russian interference in the 2020 election. David wright has more. Reporter the white house appears to have a new spin on the issue of Russian Election meddling. I read where russias helping Bernie Sanders, nobody said it to me at all. Reporter making it all about Bernie Sanders. Do you believe this, russias trying to interfere to help Bernie Sanders . Youll have to ask Bernie Sanders that, i mean, hed know better than me. Reporter the president s men are at it too, coordinating their talking points. How is russia interfering in the 2020 election . Well, there are these reports that they want Bernie Sanders to get elected president. Thats no surprise. He honeymooned in moscow. Bernie sanders, who honeymooned in the soviet union. Seems to prefer marxism over capitalism. Its hard to see why theyd be choosing donald trump over Bernie Sanders. Reporter casting suspicion on a 10day trip the newly married sanders took to the soviet union back in 1988. An official visit filmed for Vermont Community television. Sanders has been unequivocal. We were told that russia, maybe other countries, were going to get involved in this campaign. The message to russia, stay out of american elections.

It sounds like its 16 all over again for Bernie Sanders. Reporter congressman schiff shot back, nice deflection, mr. President , but your false claims fool no one. What i am worried about is the politicization of intelligence by this administration. Reporter on this issue of russian meddling, the president s advisers are claiming that the russians are trying to help sanders instead of trump. But that would appear to contradict what intelligence officials recently told house lawmakers. They reportedly claimed that the russians are trying to help sanders and trump. The goal being to foster divisions in the u. S. Electorate. The democrats are emphasizing the trump part of that, the president and his allies are trying to shift the focus entirely to sanders. David wright, abc news, the white house. And Bernie Sanders is gaining momentum following his decisive victory in the nevada caucuses. Sanders celebrated his frontrunner status at a rally in texas, one of the 14 super tuesday states set to vote a week from tomorrow. During a 60 minutes interview, sanders couldnt say exactly how much it would cost to pay for medicare for all, free college tuition, and his other proposals combined. I cant rattle off to you every nickel and every dime, but we have accounted for you talked about medicare for all, we have options out there that will pay for it. Sanders said the progm would cost 30 trillion, but added that the price will be less than leaving the Current System in place. Meanwhile the South Carolina primary just five days away.
