remains an impediment to better relations with russia. pair that with what we re going to hear later this morning from the u.n. ambassador, nikki haley, who will say everybody knows russia did t he wanted to look the russian president in the eye and tell him we know you did it. cut it out. is it seems that members of the administration are far more hawkish on this than the president. according to all the statements we ve heard from trump s cabinet officials, appointees, versus the president himself. there s been such a lack of clarity on this issue because at various times the president has called it s a hoax this overall russia issue is a hoax, excuse invented by democrats, notwithstanding the fact that government officials were investigating this well before the democrats loss on election day. president trump just tweet this had. putin and i discussed forming an
to me. a way for the president say i addressed it and brought it up and putin denied it to me so time to move on. intelligence agency experts are saying russia will do this again in the future. it could happen to hurt republicans or hurt democrats in the future. either way, this is not something that is over. it is still very much present day. as our viewers know there are multiple ongoing investigations into last year s meddling and into trump campaign communication and contacts with russians. so there is many reasons why this is not over, why people won t be moving forward and, obviously, guys, these tweets are going to do nothing to comfort or save concerns among liberals that president trump never took this seriously to begin with. i think the last part of the first tweet, i ve already given my opinion. the last time we heard from the president personally was on thursday and let s listen to what that opinion was at that time.
and we can t see journalists try to follow-up on these things when we get thing via twitter. we mentioned earlier and i think worth the context now we are hearing from the president normally at the end of a g-20 summit, there is a press conference by the american president answering questions from journalists. obviously, at a press conference taken place this weekend there would have been many questions about this meeting about what exactly president trump said and how putin responded. since there wasn t that press conference, all eyes have been on his twitter account and his twitter feed. notable the past few minutes he has weighed in. the four most important word i think in his tweet now time to move forward. he is saying it s time to move forward, not to talk any more about the russian meddling in the u.s. election last forward. time to move forward sounds like a new talking point. let s see a week or two from now if it is. sound like a new talking to me

american record. in this case, it was trump, tillerson and a translator. the new york times has a source today saying that tillerson was stunned at the way that trump handled this. let s get this out of the way. let me ask you about the meddling. other trump aides are spinning it, saying trump was very tough when it came to this subject matter. we have him in his own words for the first time addressing this. it is notable. you normally have an event on camera where a president talks about his meetings at g20. now confirm bid cnn and other outlets is another previously unreported meeting between one of trump s aides, allies and russian. paul manafort had a meeting with a russian lawyer that had time
