## Transcript

Thanks to the modern technology that's in front of me right here, I've got a tweet from the President an hour ago saying the NSA and FBI tell Congress that Russia did not influence the electoral process. So that's not quite accurate that tweet. I'm sorry I haven't been following anybody on twitter while I've been sitting here. I can read it to you it says the NSA and FBI tell Congress that Russia did not influence electoral The electoral process. This tweet has gone out to millions of Americans. 16. 1 million, to be exact. Is the tweet, as I read it to, the NSA and FBI tell congress that Russia did not influence the electoral process, is that accurate?

[ BLANK_AUDIO ] Well It's hard for me to react to it, let me just tell you what we understand that the state of, what we've said is. We've offered no opinion, have no view, have no information on potential impact, because it's never something that we looked at. Okay. So it's not too far of a logical leap to conclude that your, that the assertion that you have told the Congress That there was no influence on the electoral process is not quite right. Right, it wasn't, it certainly wasn't our attention to say that today because we don't have any information on that subject. I mean, that's not something that was look at.

Right.
