Sean Spicer Dodges on Whether Trump Accepts Russia Behind the DNC Hack
KARL: “Absolutely, but you do see, I have the report too, so you do see the headline, ‘Russian malicious cyber activity.’ It makes it clear, and it names Russia, gives the IP addresses…”
SPICER: “And then it says, ‘Actions to take: back up the system, staff training…” [cross-talk]
KARL: “Absolutely. But does he accept that Russia was behind this?”
SPICER: “Well, I think, like I said, he has to have the briefing first from the intelligence community next week.”
KARL: “So he’s still not there yet?”
SPICER: “It’s not a question of not there yet, Jonathan, it’s a question of getting the information. Everyone in the media wants to jump forward and make a conclusion based off other sourced information, you know, anonymous sources that are coming out of the intelligence community. He’s going to do this right.”
