Abcs Karen Travers is following all of those developments. Good morning, karen. Reporter good morning, kendis and diane.

Donald trump blasting the u. S. Intelligence community. I think its a disgrace that information that was false and fake and never happened got released to the public. Reporter the president elect confident that even though the fbi is investigating the unsubstantiated allegations about his ties to russia theres nothing they can come back with. Reporter director of National IntelligenceJames Clapper spoke with trump wednesday evening saying they both agreed the leaks are, quote, extremely corrosive and damaging to national security. But clapper also defending the Intelligence Community. I do not believe the leaks came from within the i. C. And trump saying he accepts the Intelligence Communitys conclusion on who is behind last years cyberattack on the democratic party. As far as hacking, i think it was russia. Reporter trump also finally laying out what hell do with his business after january 20th saying hell maintain ownership of the Trump Organization which spans more than 500 companies in at least 14 countries. And while he says, sure, he could run his company and run the country, he is relinquished leadership putting it in a trust and turning it over to his sons. The president elect will preside over no new deals but his sons can. They just wont do any new foreign deals while hes in office. The director of the office of government ethics weighing in with rare public criticism of trumps plans. Wholly inadequate. Thats not how a blind trust works. Reporter and confirmations for Donald Trumps cabinet continue today on capitol hill. On the hot seat his pick to lied the pentagon, general james mattis and dr.

He refused to take jim acostas question calling cnn and buzzfeed fake news for reporting the unsubstantiated story about the salacious allegations. Since you are attacking our news organization. Not you. Not you. Your organization is terrible. Youre attacking our news organization. Can you give us a chance to ask a question, sir. Go ahead. Quiet. Quiet. Mr. President elect dont be rude.

I would no the use that term. Do you believe that Vladimir Putin and his cronies are responsible for ordering the murder of countless dissidents, journalists and political opponents . I do not have sufficient information to make that claim. None of this is classified, mr. Tillerson. These people are dead. And rubio says he has not yet decided whether hell vote to approve tillersons nomination and without rubios support, tillersons confirmation could actually be in jeopardy.
