0:00.0	Just about everybody, except for President Trump himself,
0:03.3	thought last month's summit in Helsinki with Russian President Vladimir Putin was an
0:07.7	unmitigated disaster. The President distanced his own intelligence agencies,
0:13.0	questioning whether they were right when they unanimously concluded the Russians hacked the 2016
0:17.7	election. Trump sucked up to Putin, saying how the Russian President had made an incredible offer
0:24.5	that would allow Russian agents to question a former US ambassador for supposed financial crimes in
0:30.4	Russia. But for all the negative blowback, the Trump-Putin bromance is far from over. The White

1:24.2	Everybody knows it. Because people have got to know whether or not their

1:33.7	hostages. My heart and my destined tension still tell me that's true, but the facts and the evidence
1:40.4	tell me it is not. I did not have sexual relations with that woman. The British government has
1:47.4	learned that Saddam Hussein recently saw significant quantities of uranium from Africa.
1:53.1	But he times left answer this question. Russia is a ruse.
2:02.0	I'm Michael Isikov, Chief Investigative correspondent for Yahoo News.
2:05.4	And I'm Dan Clydeman, Editor-in-Chief of Yahoo News.
