For some of you the news does continue. For others do check back later for the morning news and of course, cbs this morning. From the Broadcast Center here in new york city, im josh elliott. This is the cbs overnight news. Hi, welcome to overnight news. Im demarco morgan. Leaders of the u. S. Intelligence community will gather at trump tower in new york city to brief mr. Trump. Mr. Trump has been openly skeptical of the charges. Yesterday the director of national intelligence, james clapper, laid out the case against moscow on capitol hill. Nancy cordes has the the story. Reporter the nations top intelligence official, james clapper, said he is more convinced than ever it was the russians who hacked the Democratic National committee and Clinton Campaign chair john podesta. This was a multifaceted campaign. So the hacking was only one part of it. And it also entailed classical propaganda, disinformation, fake news. Does that continue . Yes. Reporter was it an act of war . Clapper said that was not his call to make. Nor was he prepared to say it cost clinton the election. Certainly Intelligence Community cant gauge the impact it had on choices of the electorate made. There is no way for us to gauge that. Either way said republican lindsay graham, the u. S. Need to strike back. I think what obama did was throw a pebble. Im ready to throw a rock. Hanging over the hearing, mr. Trumps very public doubts that clapper and his agents have it right. Missouri democrat, claire mccaskill. Who is the benefactor of some one about to become commanderinchief trashing the Intelligence Community. I received many expressions of concern from foreign counterparts about you know the disparagement of the u. S. Intelligence community or i should say what is interpreted as disparagement of the Intelligence Community. Mike rodgers who heads the National Security agency said it could hurt morale. I just dont want a situation where our work force decide to walk. I think that really is not a good place for us to be. Mr. Trump tweeted to day that he is actually a big fan of the u. S. Intelligence community and publicly backed up Julian Assange who claims the leaked e mails did not come from russian state actors. Director clapper, how would you describe mr. Assange. Dont think those in the Intelligence Community have a whole lot of respect for him. Admiral . I would echo the comments. Reporter House Speaker paul ryan says gop will move ahead to repeal Affordable Care act and insists his republican colleagues will come up with something to replace it before the end of the year. Here again, nancy cordes. Reporter president obama actually apologized to democrats here on capitol hill for not doing a better job all these years selling obamacare. He urged them to get out there and tell personal stories of people who are benefiting from the law. But, with repeal, all but assured. The fight has really moved on now to who is going to get the blame if people lose coverage. The ayes have 51. Nays, are 48. Reporter republicans took the first vote in the repeal process wednesday. Now theyre going to on it. Reporter as the two sides tangled over who is going to own the post repeal mess if there is one. The simple fact is the American People know who owns obamacare. The first half of the title. Vice president elect mike pence and president obama both came to capitol hill to gurd their troops for the escalating war. Democrats argued in their zeal for repeal, republicans have ignored what comes next. They are replacing Affordable Care with chaos. The nations largest Doctors Association made the same case in a letter to leaders of congress. Writing before any action is taken, policymakers should lay out for the American People in reasonable detail what will replace current policies. They have no replacement plan because they cant agree, they dont have the votes. Reporter House Speaker paul ryan could not provide specifics but said theyre coming. We have a plan to replace it. Plenty of ideas to replace it. You will see, as weeks and months unfold what we are talking about replacing it. The Vice President elect promised the new administration understands that Americas Health is on the line. Look, we are talking about peoples lives. We are talking about families. But we are also talking about a policy that has been a failure virtually since its inception. He said mr. Trump would use executive actions from day one to help roll back obama care. But mr. Obamas press secretary warned that president ial power in this arena is limited. If we had conceived of a way for the president to use executive action to strengthen the Affordable Care act, then i assure you we would have done it. The blame game continues on twitter this morning. President elect donald trump in the midst of a series of tweets about the issue saying that democrats are doing the typical political thing. And blaming republicans. The fact is, he says that obamacare was a lie from the beginning, keep yog doctor, keep your plan.
