00:10How is it an issue of potential national security?

00:21Well, I think the efforts...

00:22What is the basis for saying that?

00:23The efforts by and on behalf of Russia to interfere in the election and what they may

01:18with very specific contacts reached out to his son with a solicitation of negative information

01:24about his political opponent.

01:28Either Duke, Tim, or whatever happened in the meeting happened.
