National Security Adviser O'Brien says that he's seen 'no evidence' of Russia seeking to aid President Trump's re-election, but says reports that Russia is trying to boost Sen. Sanders' presidential campaign were 'no surprise.'

What I say to [Russian President Vladimir Putin]: If elected president, trust me, you will not be interfering in American elections.

Trump said.
