The first story we're covering this January 9th, the first official U.S. intelligence report concerning Russia and the 2016 U.S. presidential election.


It was ordered by President Barack Obama and given on Friday. The intelligence said that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign, which included cyber hacking 1, that was aimed at the U.S. election and that included a, quote, "clear preference for President-elect Donald Trump 2 over his rival Hillary Clinton."


After intelligence officials met with President-elect Trump about the issue, his transition team said the hacking occurred before Trump was the clear Republican Party nominee 3 and that it seemed intended more to harm Clinton than to help Trump. The Obama administration has accused Russia of undermining the U.S. democratic process.


Russia has consistently denied interfering 4, and a Russian senator said the American process was, quote, "undermined by the Obama administration and the media which supported Clinton against Trump."


U.S. intelligence officials said they did not assess whether Russian activities actually affected 5 the outcome of the American election.


The FBI is investigating an attack at a Florida airport on Friday. A 26- year-old man who'd served in the Puerto Rico and Alaska Army National Guards has confessed to planning the shooting at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Five people were killed and six were wounded. The suspect, Esteban Santiago, now faces federal charges that could lead to the death penalty.


Santiago had served in the Iraq war from 2010 to 2011, and received a combat related honor. But his brother says he believes the shooting was caused by mental issues that arose after Santiago's service. He'd received a mental evaluation 6 but the conclusions weren't enough to keep him from owning a firearm.


FBI officials say they're not ruling out terrorism as a possible motive 7.
