Under fire from Hillary Clinton, but also within his own part. Clinton now backing more getting more members of the military to back her as a result. Cnn washington correspondent, jeff zeleny, is following all of the developments for us. Jeff. Good morning. The praise donald trump is showering on Vladimir Putin is a traditional break from American Politics. It is outraging democrats and making republicans uneasy about the plurblurred lines of countr versus party. Hillary clinton says this is the latest sign that donald trump is not fit for the presidency. He is really very much of a leader. Amid ongoing criticism of his praise for Vladimir Putin. Donald trump in an interview on a Television Station funneled by the kremlin, telling larry king, he thinks it is unlikely the russian government is meddling through hacking. I think it is probably unlikely. Maybe the democrats are putting that out. If they are doing something, i hope that somebody will be able to find out, so they can end it.
In paula hancocks. Paula, the fifth Nuclear Test North Korea appears to have conducted and the most powerful one and coming on the heels of President Obamas visit to asia. Reporter thats right. The timing certainly is interesting, john. The fact is north korea announced on staterun television saying they successfully tested the Nuclear Warhead and they can put that on any one of the Ballistic Missiles. It is impossible for the world to verify that specifically in washington and seoul and tokyo. In the past hour, there has been an intelligence briefing for lawmakers here in seoul. They have said they believe north koreas goal is to mount a Nuclear Warhead on a scud missile. Remember 28,000 u. S. Troops in south korea are here now. This is going much quicker than expected. Intelligence says north korea has advanced quicker than expected. There is large interest around the world in china and japan and russia condemning the nuclear test. It shows that kim jongun is determined to forge ahea
Proudly claimed that he had a plan but was keeping it secret. Last night, though, he indicated his plan was to tell generals to come up with a plan. So did he ever really have his own plan . Thats just one of the issues on the table today. Lets go right now to senior white house jim acosta live for us at that event. What are you expecting, jim . I think what well hear from donald trump here is hes going to make this argument hes better suited to be Commander In Chief of the United States. We expect him to make these remarks here in the next half an hour or so. Hes going to talk about, as you mentioned, that plan to talk to his generals on the first day he takes the oath of office, to come up with a plan for defeating isis. It is something he talked about at an event in greenville, North Carolina last night. Heres what he had to say. So were going to convene my top generals and give them a simple instruction. They will have 30 days to submit to the oval office a plan for soundly and qui
Were described in the most deplorable of terms. Its extraordinary to think of it. She referred to those people as irredeemable. I will tell you right now, i campaign on a regular basis with donald trump. I campaign all across this country for donald trump. Hillary clintons low opinion of the people that support this campaign should be denounced in the strongest possible terms. The truth of the matter is that the men and women who support Donald Trumps campaign are hardworking americans, farmers, coal miners, teachers, veterans, members of our Law Enforcement community, members of every class of this country who know that we can make America Great again. So let me just say from the bottom of my heart, hillary, they are not a basket of anything, they are americans, and they deserve your respect. [ cheers and applause [ cheers and applause ] ive not heard that level of disdain for americans that i can even repeat since barack obama described people that opposed him as people who cling to
In new york. This as her campaign is touting 110 now retired generals and admirals backing her. Mean while, donald trump is taking his remarkable embrace of Vladimir Putin to russian owned air waves, declaring the russian leader is probably not meddling in the u. S. Election, contrary to what u. S. Intelligence conversation, contrary to what Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan says. I dont know i mean, ive been hearing about it. Ive been reading about it. I think its probably unlikely. I think maybe maybe the democrats are putting that out. Who knows. But i think that its pretty unlikely. But, you know, who knows. I hope that if they are doing something, i hope that somebodys going to find out so they can end it. Because that would not be appropriate at all. So the Trump Campaign now claims they did not know this interview was airing on a kremlinowned television network. They say they thought it was just a pod cost done as a favor for Donald Trumps friend larry king. Cnn washington corr
