Evening from beautiful Aspen, Colorado site, of the Aspen security, forum the annual gathering of top national security and, intelligence officials, coming. This here amid the fallout, and backlash, of this week's Trump Putin summit FBI, director, Christopher Rea among those here tonight I'll be interviewing, him at this evening's opening, session, following, this broadcast, but, we start with President, Trump today mustering, the tough tone against, Vladimir Putin, that he failed to bring in Helsinki, on Monday over Russian, interference in the 2016. Election, the president, tried to calm a storm of outrage after, he gave Putin a pass at their joint news conference yet. Today as he worked to repair the damage the president may have ended up sewing more, doubt about, what he believes our Hallie. Jackson has, details. Late. Tonight the president publicly, putting, Vladimir, Putin on notice, holding, him personally responsible. For Russia's attacks on the US election, because, he's in charge of the country just like I consider myself to be responsible. For things that happen in this country what's at home a. Very, strong on the fact that we can't have meddling, I let him know we can't have. We're, not going to have it and that's. The way it's going to be that tougher, tone in a new interview with CBS News coming, after yet another Donald Trump translation, from what he said to what he meant less than 24, hours after, the president insisted, he misspoke, in Finland, on whether Russia already interfered. With our elections, he said this about whether he thinks the Kremlin still is is, Russia still targeting the u.s. mr. president. That's. Not true, Russia does continue, to target the u.s. election system according, to the president's, own Director, of National Intelligence who. Blasted, the Kremlin's attacks with this stark warning Friday, I'm here to say the warning lights are. Brick blinking, red again. But, the press secretary, trying to clean up the president's, muddled message says when he told reporters no, he, actually meant go time, to leave is the first thing that the president said after, the question was asked was thank you very much and he said no I'm not answering any more questions but. Why should this president have any credibility to Americans in what he says if in fact 24, hours later or in this case three hours later the White House comes out and says just kidding, first, of all that's not what I said. I was. Interpreting. What the president, is intention. Was and stating the administration's. Policy, the White House today acknowledging. The Russian threat still exists, and explaining, the steps they've taken to protect US elections, but to the president's, critics a hollow, defense it sir sure looked like he. Was saying no that, took him a while then to. Respond back the problem is. That's, consistent with what he's. Been saying you. Know again and again began that he mistrusts. Our, intelligence, services and believes the words of, Putin. The. Press secretary, says she's not aware of any recording, of that one-on-one between, presidents, Trump and Putin, meaning the only other American representative. Besides the president who knows what was said for sure is the, u.s. interpreter, in the room that is why some Democrats, in Congress now, want to hear from her but, it's not clear yet if the Trump administration will, allow it Lester, all.

Right Hallie Jackson at, the White House tonight thank you is this very public drama, plays out with the president our chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea. Mitchell here at the security, conference you've, been speaking to people what's the buzz what's the concern around what's happening there's, a lot of concern Lester, people, I talked to hear that to say that despite the president's latest, explanation. These current former, intelligence officials say his, shifting, statements, have undermined his own intelligence, advisors warnings, about the Russian threat they, say his comments this weekend in fact throughout his presidency have, damaged, the administration's, ability to counter Russia's aggression at, a time when the White House fired its cyber coordinator, and has not replaced him in addition, the State Department today said despite, the Kremlin's claims there, were no agreements between the President and Vladimir, Putin in Helsinki, and finally.
