Vladimir putin. And it capped the overseas trip which could go down as one of the most damaging in u. S. History. He sold out the america with this answer. Just now, president putin denied with the election interference in 2016. Every agency concluded that russia today. My first question for you, sir, who do you believe . Let me say that we have two thoughts. You have groups that are wondering why the fbi never took the server. Why havent they taken the server . Why was the fbi told to leave the office of the Democratic National committee . With that being said, all i can do is ask the question. My people came to me. Dan coats came to me and others said they think its russia. I have president putin and he just said its not russia. I will say this. I dont see any reason why it would be. The president also holding both countries responsible when asked if russia is to blame for anything. The joint News Conference met with condemnation that was swift, broad and unrelenting from voices in the president s corner. The top at the dredge report. Newt gingrich said this was the most serious mistake of the president s presidency and must be corrected immediately. Sean hannity did not speak to the president and many at that news network did speak up. Trump clearly should not have created any semblance of moral equivocacy and assurances of Vladimir Putin. This is the time for the president to look putin in the eye and said you will be punished for what you did in 2016. He didnt. Thats what made it disgusting. That is what made his performance disgusting. It is not a right or left thing. This is wrong. U. S. President on foreign soil talking to our biggest enemy or adversary. I dont know how we define him these days. The daughter of u. S. Ambassador to russia, jon huntsman tweeted this. No negotiation is worth throwing your own people and country under the bus. There was this perspective from fox contributor ari flesher. Tweeting that trump only sees russia interference through the lens of whether he won or lost. That should not blind him for how wroong it was for russia to interfere. Community leaders standing by the assessment of the russian threat like dan coats who said friday the warning lights are blinking. He reaffirmed after the summit. Quote, we have been clear in our assessment of russian meddling in the 2016 election and the ongoing efforts to undermine our democracy and we will continue to provide unvarnished intelligence in support of our National Security. Former cia director john brennan calling trumps performance nothing short of trees treasonous. House and Senate Leaders spoke out against the president s remarks. Among the strongest remarks was this from john mccain. He called it the most disgra disgraceful performance by an american president in memory. It is clear the summit in helsinki was a triple digagic m. Responses in the media. Like the daily New York Daily News cover. And the president showed weakness, quote details from the private trump putin talks will come out in coming days. Mondays joint press conference was a personal and national embarrassment. The Washington Post went further. In helsinki, mr. Trump insisted there was no collusion. He ignored the plain facts and trashing his countrys justice system. Mr. Trump was openly colluding with the leader of the hostile foreign power. The president tried damage control on the way back to washington. Tweeting, as i said many times, i have great confidence in my intelligence people. His aides dealt with the fallout, the white house emailed talking points to republican surrogates. One involved in the summit put it this way, this was not the plan. Vladimir putin got a pass from trump, but not Chris Wallace of fox fuss. May i give this to you fox news. May i give this to you to look at sir . That was wallace offering putin a copy of the mueller invitemd t indictments of the 12 intelligence officers. Mr. Putin trying to justify the hacking of democrats by offering the information that was hacked was true. Translator was it some rigging of facts . Was it some forgery of facts . That is the important thing im trying to make. Was this any false information planted . No, it wasnt. May i say, you are indicating they stole real money, not counterfeit money. Are you saying it is okay because the facts they took from the dnc and john podesta that it is the real emails. Translator there is nothing false about it. Every grain of it is true and the democratic leadership admitted it. Now the second point. If you dont like my answer, you can give it to me straightaway and ill keep silence. If you want americans to listen to my opinion, could you wait a little bit. Lets go live to sam kiley. What a remarkable 36 hours. How is it playing where you are now . Reporter i think that generally speaking the reaction from russian officials and we spent a lot of time talking to them last night. Politicians and Sergei Lavrov summed it up. It was magnificent and better than super the summit between donald trump and Vladimir Putin in helsinki. As the dust settles and the initial sense of triumph. There will be questions asked about what did russia get out of it. Yes, it caused consternation in washington which they always find satisfying in kremlin. Longer term, no movement on syria for example. Certainly no discussion in public of the lifting of sanctions of russias illegal annexation of crimea. None of the big ticket items were discussed as far as russia was concerned. There will be concerns in the parliament about that. Vladimir putin runs a tight ship. The media here is strictly controlled. It is difficult to discern whether broader extstrategic iss are discussed. There is a sense of satisfaction if not triumph. You know, remarkable. It is the president of the United States side by side with Vladimir Putin with kind words for Vladimir Putin. Endorsing his view of the world and refuting the american Justice Departments view of the world on the fourth anniversary of that Malaysia Airlines that was shot down. Many reasons why russia was isolated. Sam, thank you so much.

If you want americans to listen to my opinion, could you wait a little bit. Putin thought he was getting a softball interview. He was wrong. Lets go live to sam kiley. How is it playing where you are now . Reporter i think that general reaction is unknown. Vladimir putin said the process had been magnificent and better than super. Doesnt get more euphoric especially for mr. Lavrov who normally likes to keep cards close to the chest. I think the russians will wonder if the close relationship that they managed to establish between Vladimir Putin and donald trump has any material benefit in the form of perhaps lifting sanctions over the illegal annexation of crimea or anything involving syria. Essentially from the russian perspecti perspective, this is all been a roaring success not least because going into this meeting there was already concern in a number of nations allied to the United States that normally share intelligence that donald trump could not be trusted with it. That certainly will be a position that will be continue to be held by american allies. Sam, thank you. Very pleased. Thank you. By cozying up to Vladimir Putin after bashing european leaders at the nato summit, donald trump has one longtime ally to plot forward without the United States. Nic robertson live in helsinki with the latest developments. Bring us up to speed. Reporter christine, good morning. One of the newspaper headlines in helsinki captures the mood here in this city at least. Put putin, 1, trump, 0. That is the interpretation placed on the summit here. German has been saying germans say it is time to set their own course and the United States cannot be relied on. Helsinki may be in the Rearview Mirror will look as if it helped crystal crystalize the european thinking. The United States is not the partner they signed up to be standing beside. There has been resounding sound of silence coming from european leaders today. President trump said he was coming here from united nato. These same nations you would expect to be applauding President Trump had he faced down Vladimir Putin and had he told the russian leader not to meddle in u. S. Elections because putin has meddled in the german elections and chancellor Angela Merkel. He had immediate meddled in the controversy. Angela merkel came in for heavy criticism for donald trump before he got to helsinki. The fact there is silence tells you a huge amount about what President Trumps nato allies feel. If he cannot trust his Intelligence Services, how can he trust his allys . Ni allies . Nic, thank you. And President Trump answering a question about whether the ball is now in russias court on syria by handing President Trump a soccer ball. The world cup wrapped up in russia and putin said to trump, the ball is now in your court. The u. S. Will host the tournament in 2026. President trump said the ball can go to barron and tossed it to the first lady. Graham said i would check the soccer ball for listening devices and never allow it in the white house. Probably a joke, but interesting point indeed about lindsey graham. President trump was complime complimentary of the world cup. He likes a good show.

We now know beyond a treasonous doubt. We know he does. President trump and Vladimir Putin had a oneonone meeting today that lasted over two hours. Ugh. Poor trump. That is a long time to hang out with your boss. It is really not funny, but funny. When it cannot get more bizarre. A russian spy charged with conspiracy against the United States.
