BERMAN: Well, we do have some breaking news from the Russia front. The Trump administration now says that Russian cyber attacks have targeted U.S. power plants and could have shut the plants down at will. Our Barbara Starr at the Pentagon with the latest on this. Barbara, what's going on here?</s>BARBARA STARR, CNN PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT: Well, John, when you go home tonight, and if the lights flicker, is Moscow behind it all? You might ask yourself that question. What we do know is that as part of the sanctions unveiled by the Trump administration against Russia, they are detailing now what they say were attempts by Russia to basically crack into the U.S. energy infrastructure, U.S. power plants and other facilities as part of their overall cyber hacking campaign. Let's go through a couple of the items that the U.S. is saying the Russians were trying to get into. And what the U.S. is listing is energy, nuclear, commercial facilities, water, aviation, and critical manufacturing sectors, all things the U.S. now contends the Russians have been trying to hack into since March of 2016, all against the backdrop of this hacking, meddling in the U.S. election through cyber activity. The U.S. Department of Energy putting out a statement about it, saying that they worked very hard to stop the Russians before they could get into any of this. Not entirely clear whether there were any credible verifiable examples of the Russians being successful in their efforts. But it very much continues to lift that veil on what U.S. experts say the Russians have been up to for the last couple of years and no indication, absolutely no indication, that the Russians are letting up on it -- John.</s>BERMAN: All right, Barbara Starr, an important warning there, appreciate it. So who is in, who is out? We'll have the very latest on the West Wing turmoil ahead.
