Speaking to thousands of supporters in Iowa, the president launched into a rambling defense of his Administration and at times exaggerating his accomplishments in office. Trump reiterated his support for a border wall—suggesting that solar panels be emplaced on it—and said he would push for legislation requiring immigrants to be self-sufficient. The pro-Trump outside group America First Principles is out with a [new ad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDyko4Jf5uw&feature=em-uploademail) lauding Trump for fighting back against Democrats and the media, and the President echoed those themes on stage. Trump largely shied away from discussing the Russia investigation, saving that for a series of Thursday morning tweets critical of Democrats. They were timed just as Republicans on Capitol Hill released their version of a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare—which had been negotiated in secret among Republicans for weeks and for which Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell hopes to bring up for a vote next week. The Senate bill looks a lot like the House bill, with some key tweaks to essential health benefits and the the timing of the shift away from Medicaid expansion. The Congressional Budget Office says it will score the bill by next week. The House bill, CBO estimated, would cause 23 million people to lose coverage by 2026\. The bill faces an uncertain future in the Senate, where many lawmakers are getting their first look at the bill along with the public—and several don’t like it. The GOP can afford to lose only two Senate Republicans if they hope to fulfill one of their and Trump’s core campaign promises. TIME’s cover this week feature special counsel Robert Mueller, who is tasked with conducting an investigation that now appears set to include the conduct within the Oval Office.

That is a fact, plain and simple. As of right now we have evidence of 21 states, or election related systems in 21 states that were targeted. I know of no evidence that through cyber intrusions votes were altered or suppressed in some way. So should the public take away the A sense of confidence, that the Russians have completely stopped, as of November 2016, trying to interfere, or tap into our electoral systems. Is that what you're saying? That's not what I'm saying sir. I believe, the Russians, will absolutely, continue trying to conduct influence operations in the US. Which, will include cyber intrusions. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4828156/what-the-senate-health-care-bill-means/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4828156/what-the-senate-health-care-bill-means/"},"headline":"What the Senate Health Care Bill Means","datePublished":"2017-06-22T17:29:55.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-08T09:19:45.104Z","description":"Morning Must Reads: June 22","url":"https://time.com/4828156/what-the-senate-health-care-bill-means/","keywords":["Morning Must Reads"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb24c27fcf0ec0da8/6986837dcd6848a30809364f/morning-must-reads1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Zeke Miller","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/zeke-j-miller/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb24c27fcf0ec0da8/6986837dcd6848a30809364f/morning-must-reads1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Morning Must Reads","caption":"Capitol","creditText":"Mark Wilson—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4828156/what-the-senate-health-care-bill-means/","name":"What the Senate Health Care Bill Means"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Russia 'Used Fake News and Propaganda' to Undermine U.S. Election, FBI Says","description":"Current and former government officials painted a sinister portrait Wednesday of Russian cyberattacks on the United States aimed at interfering in the U.S. presidential election last year.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/btHAFQxC/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-06-21T18:13:30.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/btHAFQxC.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4828156/what-the-senate-health-care-bill-means/","duration":"PT1M1S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4828156/what-the-senate-health-care-bill-means/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
