to echo what the president said earlier today when he said he does not believe russia s still targeting the u.s. as you said, that is really a contradiction with what the director of national intelligence, dan coats, said earlier this week when the dni decided to put out that statement not even clearing it through the white house when it talked about ongoing pervasive efforts being conducted by russia to intervene in u.s. democracy. that follows what coats said last week when he was speaking at an event. he said the warning system is blinking red. this is a big contrast, as you said. and lindsey graham, one of the hawks up on capitol hill, disagreeing with the president. put out a tweet just a short time ago as democrats and republicans are disagreeing with this president s assessment once again when he said that russia s not intervening in the elections here in the united states. we can put that tweet up on screen from lindsey graham. he basically echoed what dni coats was saying earl
