Hackers were targeting the dnc and other democratic operations. By the way, as candidate trump was publicly calling on the russians to publicly hack Hillary Clintons emails. We dont know the contact or motive before the conversations, but the word they happened is a big real development. We should note the kremlin and donald trump this morning are calling it fake news. Cnns jim sciutto has been working sources all day, all night on this story. Jim, bring us up to speed on where we are right now at 9 01 eastern time. I should knnote calling it fe news without the president or the white house responding to the substance of the reporting which weve asked them to do. Lets get to what the reporting is. One, two things caused alarm, raised red flags in u. S. Law enforcement and intelligence. First, the volume and frequency of the communications between trump advisers and the russians. Communications happen during campaigns, typically at a much lower level and much less frequent than what the
So we havent had a chance to digest it. But the Attorney General in his Confirmation Hearings was very clear with a oneword answer when asked by a senator whether he had contact with the russians in any way, shape, or form. He said no, period. No condition, no modification. So obviously that turns out to not be accurate there is no reason to believe that Jeff Sessions in the Confirmation Hearing was trying to hide something. He may simply have forgotten. But it does mean two things. Number one, it adds to the incredible weight of evidence that the administration is not credible on these issues. Remember a couple of weeks ago when we heard that Michael Flynn was talking to the Russian Ambassador simply to wish him merry christmas. And of course that turns out not to be true. And Michael Flynn is no longer National Security adviser. So this white house has a very, very significant credibility problem. And its with respect to Attorney General sessions, what this means, and again, its too
4 million. Filing false statements to a bank in order to obtain a loan, and the real stunner, two counts of Campaign Finance violations. The reasons those were such a stunner, because Michael Cohen detailed in a little bit exactly what those Campaign Finance violations were. One, 150,000 payment to the ceo of a Media Company for a contract which we know from our previous reporting has to do with karen mcdougal, who accuses President Trump of an affair, which he, of course, has denied. And then the second, 130,000 payment, which he facilitated, which we know again from previous reporting has to do with Stormy Daniels, a porn star that alleges an affair with the president. Again, their names not mentioned in court, but we know who they were talking about, and then we got a little bit more detail when the u. S. Deputy attorney came out of court after these guilty pleas and talked about all of the charges in general. Take a listen real quickly. A look at breaking news, politics and reports
