KEILAR: This morning, President Trump unleashed another round of attacks on President Obama over the previous administration's handling of Russia interference in the 2016 election. This morning the president tweeted, "I have been much tougher on Russia than Obama, just look at the facts." Let's look at the facts, then. The White House has not taken Russia to task for its efforts to interfere in the election and the Russians have not admitted to doing anything wrong. President Obama personally warned Russian President Putin against interfering in the elections. Obama imposed sanctions on Russian individuals and entities. It also expelled 35 Russian diplomats and closed two of the Kremlin's compounds in the U.S. The current administration refuses to condemn the interference and has not imposed Russian sanctions overwhelmingly approved by Congress. They just didn't impose those. Joining me to discuss all of this is CNN national security analyst, Samantha Vinograd. She served as a senior adviser to President Obama's national security advisor. You served on the NSC under President Obama. What is your response to President Trump where he says that President Obama didn't do as much as he has?</s>SAMANTHA VINOGRAD, CNN NATIONAL SECURITY ANALYST: It's obviously completely untrue. And I think he's purposely conflating several different things. Brianna, we should have a discussion about when President Obama and the intelligence community knew about Russia's ongoing attacks. We know from the Department of Justice that that started way back in 2014. We should talk about that. We should talk about what President Obama did privately. And we should also talk about when President Obama chose to make this information public. But President Trump is purposefully lumping all of these different threats together, and in doing so, is making Russia's job a lot easier because he's sowing divisions, he's creating confusion, and he's not focusing on the ongoing live attacks.</s>KEILAR: All right, Samantha Vinogard, thank you for your perspective on that. Thank you for joining me today. "INSIDE POLITICS" with John King starts after a quick break.
