00:00Secretary Rubio did not say at the time the Democrats were saying at the time is
00:03the fact that the intelligence community was concocting this narrative that the
00:07president colluded with the Russians that the president's son was holding
00:11secret meetings with the Russians all of these lies that were never true who is
00:16saying that that that she would release this to try to boost her standing with
00:19the president who has said that the president undermined her when it came to
00:23Iran he said she was wrong he told me that she didn't know what she was
00:26talking about that was on Air Force One on camera the only people who are
00:30suggesting that the director of National Intelligence would release evidence to
00:33try to boost her standing with the president are the people in this room
00:36who constantly try to sow distrust and chaos amongst the president's cabinet
00:40first on Secretary Rubio he put out a statement in 2020 following that Senate
00:45Intelligence Committee report and he said what they found is troubling we found
00:49irrefutable evidence of Russia meddling which the director of National
00:52Intelligence just confirmed for all of you that Russia was trying to sow
00:55distrust and chaos but what's the outrage in this that secretary Rubio did not
01:00say at the time the Democrats were saying at the time is the fact that the
01:03intelligence community was concocting this narrative that the president
01:07colluded with the Russians that the president's son was holding secret
01:10meetings with the Russians all of these lies that were never true and he also
01:15said at that time we discovered deeply troubling actions taken by the FBI
01:19under Comey particularly their acceptance and willingness to rely on the
01:23steel dossier without verifying its methodology or sourcing the steel dossier
01:28that many outlets in this room ran as the gospel truth and it was cooked up and
01:33paid for by the Clinton campaign as for your second question Caitlin I think who
01:37is saying that that that she would release this to try to boost her standing
01:40with the president who has said that the president has publicly undermined her when
01:44it came to Iran he said she was wrong he told me that she didn't know what she was
01:47talking about that was on Air Force One on camera the only people who are
01:51suggesting that the director of national intelligence would release evidence to
01:54try to boost her standing with the president are the people in this room who
01:58constantly try to sow distrust and chaos amongst the president's cabinet and it
02:02is not working I I am I will I will just answer your question directly I am with
02:07the president of the United States every day he has the utmost confidence in
02:11director Gabbard he always has he continues to and that is true of his entire
02:15cabinet who is all working as one team to deliver on the promises this president
02:20made a spokesperson for former president Obama said in a statement earlier this
02:23week quote nothing in the documents issued last week undercuts the widely
02:27accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 election but did not
02:32successfully manipulate any votes how do you respond to critics like former
02:37President Obama and also others on the hill who say that the administration is
02:40conflating apples and oranges here conflating allegations of actual hacking
02:45of voter machines and allegations of interference generally I think it's a
02:50disservice to the American people that former President Obama's office and others
02:54who are criticizing the transparency that is being delivered by releasing these
02:59documents they are doing a disservice to the American people and trying to
03:03deflect away from their culpability in what is a historic scandal and and
03:10negative action towards the American people and our Democratic Republic the answer to
03:15that statement can very clearly be found throughout all of the documents that we have
03:21released again showing that Russia has took action to try to sow discord in the election
03:28but showed no preference for or against any singular candidate
