Dan coats says he has no idea what happened in that oneonone meeting between trump and putin. Here is dan coats. I dont know what happened in that meeting. I think as time goes by and president has already mentioned some things that happened in that meeti ing i think we will learn more. That is the president s prerogative. If he had asked me how that ought to be conducted i would have suggested a different way. But that is not my role. That is not my job. It is what it is. It is what it is. Lets be clear, dan coats isnt just some intelligence officer. He is the president s top intelligence chief. Not only was he in the dark about the two plus hours trump spent with putin in helsinki he also had no idea that the president had invited putin for a second summit. There is another one in the works. One that Sarah Huckabee sanders chose to announce on twitter. Here is how the top intelligence aid to the president found out about it. We have some breaking news. The white house has announced on twitter that Vladimir Putin is coming to the white house in the fall. Say that again. Vladimir putin coming okay. Thats going to be special. Sure is. Just to be clear coats was asked again just to make sure that he truly did not have an inkling that Vladimir Putin, the president of russia, was invited by President Trump to come to washington for a second summit. Were you aware of that . Based on my reaction i wasnt aware of that. Couldnt be more clear, was not aware that President Trump was planning a second summit in washington, d. C. Lets just stop and say the obvious here. It is shocking and should be shocking to anyone who hears this. The president s top intelligence chief finds out from a reporter in a live broadcast in a room full of reporters that his boss donald trump invited putin to washington for take two who is responsible for lets listen to how coats put it today. Its undeniable that the russians are taking the lead on this. Basically they are the ones that are trying to undermine our basic values and divide us with our allies. They are the ones that are trying to wreak havoc over our election process. We need to call them out on that. We have to be relentless in terms of calling out the russians for what they have done. Relentless and calling out the russians. That does describe coats, rogers, pompeo, not the person in charge not during the summit in helsinki and not during the past two years. I will tell you that president putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today. I accept our Intelligence Communitys conclusion that russias meddling in the 2016 election took place. There could be other people, also. There is a lot of people out there. Could have been china, could have been a lot of different groups. It could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds. Evan perez was there. There is no question dan coats top intelligence aid to the president of the United States had no idea that there was this second meeting for putin to come to washington. Right. He had no idea. It was very awkward in the room. There was a laughter and you could see from other people who work for the administration were all looking at each other. This announcement coming via twitter which was the president s favorite way to communicate. It was definitely an awkward moment. I will tell you what, it has been a recurring theme here at the Aspen Security Forum where official after official repeatedly said they believe what the Intelligence Community has found that the russians are still trying to meddle in our election systems. They are going to try to do it in the mid terms that is coming up later this year and obviously the president has struck a different tone. It is definitely on one side you hear the president and his white house saying one thing and his entire National Security team out here in aspen saying another. Stay with me. Obviously you are in aspen. Joining me out front, correspondent for gq and worked for the new yorkers in Foreign Policy. Max boot is Washington Post columnist. The director of National Intelligence was in the dark about what went on in the meeting between trump and putin. He was very open about that. He was in the dark about the fact that President Trump had invited putin to come to washington for the summit. Plans were in the works. What is going on . That is a great question. At one level you can sicite it pure chaos because donald trump is such a horrible manager. I think there is something more sinister going on here because remember donald trump is now being investigated by the fbi for colluding with Vladimir Putin to effect the 2016 u. S. Election. And now he is in effect colluding with putin right now meeting privately with putin. We dont know what kind of agreements were reached there. We are only getting hints right now. The top people in the u. S. Government who ought to know including dan coats, they dont know. Putin knows but dan coats doesnt know. That is wrong especially given the highly suspect relationship between donald trump and Vladimir Putin. There is no question that coats does not know. I want to play it again. When i hear it i think to myself i laugh and then i say this is not funny. As an american citizen this is not funny. I want to play the moment when coats finds out from Andrea Mitchell and twitter that his voice has invited putin to washington. We have some breaking news. The white house has announced on twitter that Vladimir Putin is coming to the white house in the fall. Say that again. [ laughter ] Vladimir Putin coming to did i hear you . Yeah. Okay. Thats going to be special. That actually happened. That was real and it was serious. You were in the room. It was stunning. It was stunning. You know, erin, i think from the tape it sounds more like laughter. I think a lot of people when you were in the room it sounded more like gasps kind of turning into laughter. You know when you are really uncomfortable and you kind of laugh because you dont know what else to do with your face or your voice. I think people were really stunned. Poor dan coats was sitting on stage having to take this information in front of everybody. It was beyond awkward especially after a day where we had essentially Administration Officials saying in so many words that this president can bang on but i have a job to do. Im trying to defend the constitution. Im trying to keep my head down and work and keep my men and women motivated and then you have this crazy display of just how disconnected the president is from his own administration. Lets be clear here, the white house knew where dan coats was today. If at the least they didnt know from their own scheduler they knew. They knew Christopher Wray was there. They chose to announce this on twitter and not tell these guys. There is no question here. Someone made a choice. Absolutely. Look, i have covered this Aspen Security Forum over the years. You know these top officials before they come out here, before they go on the air they know these things are going to be streamed on the internet and broadcast. They make sure they have their talking points all lined up. They are briefed beforehand. And we say this often but it bears saying it again that these are not normal times. So this administration doesnt behave like administrations past. So this was very much on display here in aspen today. Max, coats made it clear today Vladimir Putin is in charge. He is in charge of everything that russia is doing and Vladimir Putin is a spy. Coats made it clear. Here he is. The former director of the kgb is the one leading their nation. And those people usually dont have the kind of training that our president s have. I think anybody who thinks that Vladimir Putin doesnt have a stamp on everything that happens in russia is misinformed. It is very clear that virtually nothing happens of any kind of consequence that Vladimir Putin doesnt know about or hasnt ordered. I think we are pretty sure about that. One person who doesnt seem to be sure about that is donald trump. Here he is. They are going will President Trump be prepared . President putin is kgb and this and that. Putin is fine. Hes fine. Were all fine. We are people. Does he not understand . Does he not care . What . Well, or possibly he understands and doesnt care. I have to commend dan coats for speaking the truth which is in short supply in this administration. But i have to wonder how is he able to continue working for somebody who disregards his advice and keeps him in the dark. Its not just dan coats. This is true of the entire National Security apparatus of the u. S. Government which donald trump has given the back of his hand to because he is more eager to work with Vladimir Putin than he is to work with the professionals in the u. S. Government. I think coats position is untenable. My advice would be dont wait to get fired, quit and speak out against this. On that note, what is interesting is that coats and the fbi director both very clear pushed back against their boss in the past two days. This is coats talking about the Putin Meeting itself and wray yesterday talking about the special counsel investigation directly taking on trump very clearly in both cases. Here they are. He had asked me how that ought to be conducted i would have suggested a different way. I do not believe special counsel mueller is on a witch hunt. Coats said he will stay in his job as long as he has the ability to seek and speak the truth. Wray said im a low key understated guy but should not be mistaken for what my spine is made out of when specifically asked if he threatened to resign . Is that their way of making it clear we will quit if we need to . This is the second Aspen Security Forum i have attended. Last year there were also a number of trump Administration Officials but it was still early days of the administration. Their way of sort of weaseling out of the question was i swore an oath to protect not the president but the constitution. This year things are a lot more pointed and a lot more dramatic. The stakes are clearly a lot higher. So the commentary is a lot more pointed, as well. From his own officials. I have to say after that shocking watching dan coats shock a whisper went through the room of how is he for this job . Three of the top Cyber Security officials have resigned. Thats the word that is being used. Three of them are retiring. Retiring is the word being used. What do you make of that in light of the whole conversation today . Coats talking about 300,000 american lives could be at risk from cyber attack. Right, we are talking to people from the fbi they say given the fact that there are so many Cyber Attacks happening that there is a great deal of private sector interest in approaching some of the bright minds that the fbi has. It is a question that is raised because of the very thing you are talking about which is whether people need to stand up and essentially speak with their feet and walk out the door. I keep hearing from officials in the administration that they feel that they have a responsibility to stay and to protect their people because if they leave, if they resign then there is no telling what the president or someone else in the administration will bring in after them. Thank you all very much. Next, did the russians record the trump Putin Meeting secretly . Wait until you see who says it is possible. The white house says the president does not want russians to question americans that putin wants on russian soil. Why was this ever under consideration . And putin reportedly revealing one crucial thing he talked to trump about. It happens to be something that the president explicitly did not want you to know about.

Its been three days since trump met oneonone with putin and there is very Little Information about what happened inside that meeting. Even the intel chief dan coats admits he didnt know what happened. He doesnt rule out the possibility that there is a tape of the meeting. Is there a risk that Vladimir Putin could have recorded it . That risk is always there. Lets go straight to the democratic congressman on Foreign Relations and judiciary committees. You heard that risk is always there, that possibility. Do you think the russians have a tape of that meeting . Well, i dont think we know, but, of course, we should all be concerned. This was a two hour meeting that none of the president s National Security team was a part of. It was just mr. Putin and the president of the United States. I think we have a lot of concern about what happened in that meeting. There has been no read out to director coats or the president s team. We really dont know what commitments were made and discussions were had. The president suggested in a tweet that there is going to be a visit by mr. Putin where they can talk about implementation of some agreements. This is not a way to conduct Foreign Policy. This is a president who seems not to understand or not care about the dangers that he is creating by treating Vladimir Putin like he is a college friend. This is a thug, a dictator who doesnt have american interests at heart, who invaded a country, attacked our elections, kills his opponents, jails dissidents, tries to destabilize. This is not a friend of the United States. The president ought to understand that and ought to treat him as a foe and be smart in his dealings with him. It is pretty incredible. You have the director of National Intelligence, the president s top intelligence official saying he doesnt know what happened in that meeting. Nobody does on the american side. Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked if the United States has a recording explicitly. Let me play that exchange. Was there a recording made of their oneonone meeting . Im not aware of one. Do you believe her . Do you think it is possible, congressman, because we know the russian president and his translator would not have been frisked or checked it is very possible that they have a recording to do with what they choose. There is no question as director coats said. That is certainly a possibility. This is a sophisticated former kgb head. The russians understand the value of collecting materials that they can use against assets. So i think we dont know that. I dont think we can have confidence that there was not a recording. This is why this sort of a meeting for two hours without proper preparation, without representation of americans who have expertise in National Security is so dangerous. Of course, you heard the director of National Intelligence dan coats saying had he been asked he would have advised to not do it that way. Now we know there is a second meeting between trump and putin being planned in washington. Trumps invitation didnt tell his top National Intelligence official ahead of time. Your reaction . I think its horrifying. This is a person who led an attack on our democracy, who personally supervised the intrusion to an american president ial election with the hope of helping one candidate and undermining another. That ought to be concern to everyone. This is a foreign adversary trying to help decide who will be an american president. That ought to offend all of us. The idea that the president of the United States has not used the opportunity when he is with Vladimir Putin to call him out on it and say do not do this, we will hold you accountable and invites him to an iconic building, the white house, the man who is responsible for trying to undermine our democratic elections. Men and women in our military and Law Enforcement have given their lives to protect our great democracy. He is desecrating the service of those men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. What do you want coats and wray and others to do . Coats said i will stay as long as i can speak and seek the truth. Wray says dont mistake my understated manner for having a spine. What do you think they should do . Stay or go . It is a tough call. I think we need to have people who continue to be patriots who will serve our country and do the right thing and call the president out when he engages in this kind of behavior. We have to worry if these folks leave who will replace them . We will give the president an opportunity to put someone in the positions who will only look out for him and not the interest of the american people. We have to demand and insist that they continue to speak the truth and we have to support them and protect them from adverse president ial action. It is a difficult situation. What we really need is republican colleagues in the congress to raise voices and not sit by as the president cozies up to Vladimir Putin as they take out money to secure our elections and continue to sort of protect the president from very serious ongoing investigations. Also today the white house back tracking on something the president said he would consider and that is putins proposal where russians would interrogate americans including former ambassador to russia. You called the idea terrifying. It was shot down today 980 when it came to a vote. Are you satisfied . Its shocking. The suggestion of this is really, really shocking. I led a letter to the president earlier today demanding that he make it clear that at no time he turnover american citizens to be interrogated by russian thugs. And the president made the right decision back tracking. Even the suggestion of it is chilling for our diplomats around the world. It sends a peculiar message about his willingness to consider this kind of thing. It is really unamerican and dangerous and horrifying that the president actually made that suggestion. I appreciate your time. Thank you very much. Next exactly what happened with that back track that trump made today. Putins idea and it was aimed at bill brower who is out front next. Breaking news.

Breaking news, we now know that National Security adviser john bolten was the white house official who extended the president s invitation to Vladimir Putin for a second meeting this fall. This meeting is proposed to happen in washington, d. C. Kaitlan collins is out front at the white house. Obviously, top intelligence official for the president had no idea about this when Sarah Huckabee sanders decided to put it out to the whole world. What more can you tell us about the thinking and the planning behind this Stunning Development . Reporter clearly this is coming together rather quickly since the stunning interview where dan coats learned about it while being interviewing on television. We are learning that john bolten has extended the invitation to the russian president to come to washington. He did so today before Sarah Huckabee sanders announced discussions were underway on twitter. It is surprising and stunning for two reasons. One being that she said it would occur this fall likely when the mid terms will be which several Administration Officials have said the russians are planning to target them again as they did with the 2016 president ial election. And the second reason being that we still havent learned what it is that President Trump and president putin discussed during the first sit down in helsinki that went over two hours. That is still something we have heard from the intelligence chief he doesnt know what was discussed. We know he discussed the proposal that the russian president made to President Trump in exchange for letting the special counsel question those 12 Intelligence Officers who were indicted he wanted the russians to interrogate americans for what they believe are accusations for interfering in Russian Affairs with putin naming several americans specifically including bill brouder who will be on this program next and michael mcfaul, the former u. S. Ambassador to russia. Of course, that is an astonishing proposal that surprised washington that the white house was considering it. They did rule out it today saying President Trump disagrees with that proposal shortly before the senate voted unanimously to pass a resolution opposing any russian interrogation of u. S. Officials. Thank you very much. When you say unanimous i guess that is what it takes to get bipartisanship in washington. Trump called that idea an interesting idea. He brought it up himself at the press conference in helsinki and now completely changing course. Browder and associates were all mentioned by putin as people he wanted to question along with the former u. S. Ambassador to moscow. Is this victory for you tonight . Well, i would hardly call it a victory. The situation is that Vladimir Putin wanted donald trump to hand me over to Vladimir Putin so they could kill me. It took him three days to decide that maybe he wouldnt do that. Hardly a victory, but having said that i never actually believed that when push came to shove and when the system got into gear that it would happen. Todays vote in the senate 980 reflects the real view of what anybody in washington thinks about this. Elected officials in washington except for perhaps the top elected official in washington, this comes as we now learned that the president has invited putin to the white house for a second meeting surprising his own top intelligence official. Your reaction . I dont think there should have been a first meeting and i certainly dont think there should be a second meeting. Vladimir putin is a global menace. He has been out there invading ukraine, bombing inose innoce women and children in syria. This is not a guy who should be put on the same stage as the leader of the free world and shouldnt be put on the same stage twice within a threemonth period. Syria is supposed to be the area they should have reached agreement on. Top military official says they received no direction at this point. I want to show you the new Time Magazine cover out today. It is a strange image for anybody. It shows them morphed into the same person. The reason im showing it is that it reminded us of the two leaders sounding alike and one of the times i wanted to play for you. Nonsense of collusion with russia. There is no collusion with me and russia and everyone knows it. Could you name a single fact of that collusion is nonsense. They used the word nonsense and now they both claim there are forces in america trying to destroy the relationship between the two countries they are trying to build. People like to say this and they say it with absolutely nothing to back it. But do you actually think putin has anything on trump or is that a lot of hogwash that people are throwing out to be political . I dont have any im not robert mueller. Im not the guy who has the access to the wire taps and the subpoenas and all of that kind of stuff. What i can say which i think every person, any real person in washington believes is that russia is an enemy of the United States. Vladimir putin is an enemy. His interests arent our interests. Everything that they are trying to do is adverse to us. So all of this sort of cozying doesnt make any sense. It doesnt fit within a republican agenda or conservative agenda and therefore it is inexplicable to me. Having said all of that there is one thing that is very important to point out which is that Trump Administration has done very serious things in the battlefield in syria. It is all a bit confusing and schizophrenic. Thank you very much. I appreciate your time. Next the breaking news putin reportedly says he made trump a new offer during their summit.

Breaking news, Vladimir Putin leaking a crucial headline from that private meeting with donald trump, a headline that trumps own team has been talking about assuming they know about it. Bloomberg news is reporting that putin told trump he wanted to hold a referendum for voters in Eastern Ukraine so they could choose if they want to be a part of russia. It is certain how that referendum would go if it would happen. It is a way for putin to take over ukraine. And the russians say trump asked them not to leak the request because he wanted to consider it in private. He knew it was a huge deal. Bloomberg news senior white house correspondent. This is a pretty incredible thing when you think about it. Trump is not talking at least about what happened in this meeting. But team putin is. My colleague earlier today came to us with this news. I immediately reached out to the white house and said do you want to weigh in on this . Is this accurate . How is it accurate or not accurate . Where are you at now . I was met with basically no response. I have no on the record response or background response that refutes or deals with these individual points. So the story stands and it was exactly as you say. It came through a couple of officials in terms of something that putin said behind closed doors at a meeting with diplomats. That means the russians wanted the news to get out and the white house is now with a new situation where there is news that dribbled out of the summit that the white house is unable or unprepared or unwilling to kind of set the record straight and say where do we go from here . Only one person knows other than the interpreter and that is the president. Needless to say, this proposal goes against every Foreign Policy the United States has, has implemented that any democrat or republican conservative or liberal would support. This is a thing that every wup would agree on. Is trump really considering . On background nse officials telling me the president and the white house, the administrations position on ukraine is unchanged. If you take that at face value it means this has no chance of going anywhere, but that is something that somebody at a pretty high level, maybe the president himself, should probably say on the record if that is their position at this point. I think at first it has been a matter of trying to understand what happened in the meeting but the secondary part of it is if Officials Say one thing and then the president back tracks against it the next time there is a meeting of the cabinet and someone tosses a question, they want the message to be consistent at this point and may come down on the side saying nothing is more consistent than trying to clarify the u. S. Position. That is exactly right because when you look at what happened with the annexation of crimea by russia and then this, there is a 2015 plan to keep the peace in Eastern Ukraine. Why put a referendum in the mix if you are Vladimir Putin unless you are trying to start a new test . Thank you very much with that Big Development there. Guns, the nra and a trip to russia.

There she snapped a pic with executive director and began blazing a path in what authorities alleged was a covert russian operation. Her relationship with erickson quickly turned romantic. Whether he was duped by his young lover or wittingly lured into a spy operation to influence politics ahead of the 2016 election is unclear. Erickson is nearly twice butinas age. You see a candidate you like show up and work for them. Drop everything. Reporter after growing up in south dakota and graduating from yale he sought to make a name for himself in g. O. P. Politics. He worked as a spokesman for john wayne bobt, the virginia man whose wife cut off his penis in the 1990s. He is currently under investigation for fraud by the u. S. Attorneys office in south dakota. My story is simple. My father is a hunter. I was born in siberia for such places like siberia this is a question of survival. Everyone has a gun. Reporter after graduating from a local university she set off to moscow to pursue political ambitions. There she launched her Gun Rights Group and linked up with Prominent Russian official.

By the summer of 2016 she was enrolled in graduate school on a student visa, all part of her cover story according to prosecutors. By then she had become a worked with torshin and erickson to try to establish back Channel Communications between candidate donald trump and russian president , vladamir putin.

They have named erickson as a suspect and not named with butina and not charged with anything wrong and so far not responded to cnns requests for comment. I want to return to cia operative, bob beyer. What have you found out . She did not expose her affiliation with the kgb. She was looking for agents of influence, pro russian, pro nra, pro gun, anybody that could enlist to support vladamir putin. This is a long established kgb mo shay were using for years. She did not take the risk of telling anybody she was in connection with she was working for the kgb. When sarah says or you say unwitting and sarah says obviously, Paul Erickson has not responded to her requests for comment. He is the operative she was romantically involved, and using, do you think he was truly unwitting . He might have suspected but didnt want to know. Dont ask, dont tell. He might have realized she was wellconnected in moscow. He may have looked into the torshin connection. Hes been identified as a kgb proxy, identified in spain in organized crime. A simple Google Search would have come up with his name. Did erickson not bother . We dont know at this point. I doubt he was receiving kgb money. I doubt a kgb officer showed his credentials, anything like that, too risky, russians are too smart. They got everything from somebody like erickson simply by enlisting him in this prorussian cause. Obviously, as you were saying, sex was the big lure here. Thats honey pot operation, the russians are very good at it, been doing it for years. Thank you very much.
