U.S. intelligence chief: 'I don't know what happened' at Trump-Putin meeting

Reuters Staff

(Reuters) - U.S. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said on Thursday he did not know what happened in the one-on-one meeting in Helsinki between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin that has raised concern among many U.S. lawmakers.

Republicans and Democrats in Congress are seeking answers on what agreements Trump may have reached with Putin in their two-hour meeting on Monday in which they were accompanied only by their interpreters.

The White House has faced an uproar over several issues from the summit including Trump’s failure to confront Putin over American intelligence agencies’ findings that Russia meddled in the 2016 U.S. election and Putin’s proposal that Russian authorities be allowed to question U.S. citizens.

“Well, you’re right, I don’t know what happened at that meeting,” Coats said at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado.

“I think as time goes by and the president has already mentioned some things that happened in that meeting, I think we will learn more. But that is the president’s prerogative,” Coats added.

At a post-summit news conference with Putin, Trump responded to a question about Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election by casting doubt on the findings of his own intelligence agencies and denouncing the “stupidity” of U.S. policies.

Coats immediately responded on Monday by releasing a statement firmly supporting U.S. assessments that Russia was involved in “ongoing, pervasive efforts to undermine our democracy.”

Asked about what he thought when he heard Trump’s statements at Helsinki, Coats said: “Well, my thoughts there were that I believed that I needed to correct the record for that.”

“Obviously, I wished he had made a different statement, but I think that now that has been clarified,” he added.

Trump said on Tuesday he misspoke during the news conference and accepted the intelligence agencies’ conclusions.

Trump has called the summit “a great success,” but he has been vague about what he discussed with Putin.

Terrorism, Israel, nuclear proliferation, cyber attacks, trade, Ukraine, the Middle East and North Korea were among the issues they talked about, Trump said in a tweet on Thursday.

Putin agreed the summit was a success and said on Thursday it “led to some useful agreements,” without providing details.

Coats learned of Trump’s decision to invite Putin to Washington for a second meeting this autumn while he was being interviewed at the Aspen forum.

“OK,” he said to laughter. “That’s going to be special.”

On the prospect of Trump and Putin holding another one-on-one meeting with only their interpreters, Coats said: “I would look for a different way of doing it.”

Bulk of families separated at U.S.-Mexico border remain apart

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - With one week left on a court-ordered deadline to reunite children and parents separated by U.S. immigration officials, government lawyers reported on Thursday that 364 of some 2,500 families with children aged 5 and older have been brought back together.It was unclear from the status report, filed as part of an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit challenging parent-child separations at the border, exactly how many more reunifications were likely.

Of more than 2,500 parents identified as potentially eligible for having their children returned to them, 848 have been interviewed and cleared for reunification, attorneys for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told the court.

Another 229 parents have been deemed ineligible because of criminal records, or because they “waived” reunification or for other reasons. The rest are pending review.

The report also said more than 700 of the parents in question have final deportation orders, though a federal judge has barred the expulsion of those parents until at least a week after they regain their children.

The ACLU asked the judge to require the government to provide a list of all the adult immigrants with final deportation orders, saying those parents would need legal counsel about options for themselves and their children.

Attorneys for the U.S. government and the ACLU are due in court again on Friday for a status hearing before U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw in San Diego on reunification progress.

The parents and children were separated as part of President Donald Trump’s “zero tolerance” crackdown on illegal immigration. Many of the families entered the United States illegally, while some sought asylum at border crossings, after fleeing violence and upheavals in their home countries.

Children were sent to multiple care facilities across the United States, while their parents were incarcerated in immigration detention centers or federal prisons.

Sabraw has said repeatedly that he expects the government to meet the deadline he has imposed. Federal officials have said that all children under the age of 5 who were separated have since been reunited.
