Jake Sullivan: It’s Too Late Now for Trump To Change Tune on Russia Meddling

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SCIUTTO: "So, we don't know what President Trump is going to do in that meeting. Of course, he could change his mind. But administration officials have at least told CNN that right now it's not on the plan on the plan for President Trump to raise election meddling. Does Vladimir Putin see that as an invitation to do if again, or at least the cost wouldn't be so high if he did it again?"
SULILIVAN: "In a way we crossed that river because President Trump has spent the last several months on or outright rejecting the conclusion of the U.S. Intelligence community that Russia in fact did interfere in our election. The damage in our view has already been done. If trump showed up and said a few words on the topic or Friday, it wouldn't matter. Putin got the message Trump wanted him to get, I don't care about it, I encouraged it and benefited from it. Frankly, I wouldn't mind if you do it again. That's the message Putin has heard loud and clear. And at this point I think it's too late for trump to really change his tune on that."
