Good evening from new york, im chris hayes. In 36 days donald trump becomes the president of the United States. Today, trump continues to contest the u. S. Intelligence communitys near unanimous conclusion that russia directed Cyber Espionage against democrats during the president ial campaign. Last night, we reported that two senior u. S. Intelligence officials told nbc news russian president Vladimir Putin was personally involved in what the Intelligence Community concludes was a Covert Campaign to influence the u. S. Election. According to those officials who could belong to any one of the 17 different u. S. Intelligence agencies, we dont know, Intelligence Community now believes with a, quote, high level of confidence that putin, himself, directed the use of hacked material from the dnc. Clinton Campaign Chair john podesta and almost a dozen Democratic House candidates. Now, while the kremlin calls the report, im quoting here, laughable nonsense, nbc news reporting intelligence off
