facebook post that he was out of the running. saying, quote, my discussions with president-elect trump have been both enjoyable and enlightening. tillerson who has no government experience is expected to face an uphill climb inni given close ties to russian president vladimir putin. lawmakers on both sides of the aisle say they support calls to investigate the ceo's assessment trying to get trump elected. >> i think we ought to approach all of these issues on the assumption that the russians do not wish us well. >> reporter: sources tell cbs news that president-elect will also nominate former

are missing. >> mr. trump said he was only joking. he continues to dismiss reports that russia did anything to help him get elected. but the cia is standing by the assessment that russia tried to smear the election by leaking embarrassing e-mails. jeff pegues has details. >> reporter: the evidence that russia was trying to influence the election goes back to midjoin with private e-mails, opposition research and campaign information stolen before the democratic national committee appeared online. u.s. investigators said the russians were to blame. did their actions impact one candidate over another? >> i would say that the actions definitely were more detrimental to one candidate than the other. for crowdstrike, the cyber security firm that investigated the hack and that works closely with u.s. intelligence. what did you see? >> imagine somebody breaks in a bank and they used some kind of special saw to cut through the safe. we found that saw as they were using it. >> reporter: so you caught them in action? >> we did. >> reporter: myers says the cyber attacks began with russian backers he and cozy bears. the information they obtained was passed on to wikileaks and made public. the hackers also gained access to some republican files but that information never became public. even after being exped, the hacks against democrats continue. this is pretty bold, pretty brazen in a lot of ways. >> it's very russian. >> reporter: what do you mean by that? >> i don't think that the russians are shy or would necessarily pull back after something like that happens. >>
