Russia and other countries have been hacking and attempting to attack American institutions for years, that Russia's attack on American elections has been going back for over 50 years. So this is nothing new. And the fact that this particular hack was perpetrated by Russian entities is something that no one is disputing.

Certainly we're going to do whatever that loaded word retaliate is, we're going to do everything we can in order to prevent all of this stuff [Hackers attacks] from happening ever again.

I'm not the president, so the president, has top secret clearance immediately. I don't. It takes time.

Here's the problem, we need folks like John Lewis and others who, I think, have been champions of voter rights, to actually recognize the fact that Donald Trump was duly elected.

I mean, that was - that was some articles in Breitbart. It wasn`t Steve Bannon. The guy I know is a guy that isn`t any of those things. He is a guy who is pretty smart, very temperate.

I'm not in those top secret meetings, nor would it be appropriate - the president can't tell me what's hap - what's being said in a top secret meeting unless I have top secret clearance. I will eventually be in those meetings.

I think people should be encouraged that there are so many people in the press that want to participate.
