President Donald Trump has stepped back from comments he made about reporting foreign interference in a US political campaign.
He told Fox News he would "of course" refer to the FBI any offer of damaging information about a political opponent.
Mr Trump disputed in another interview aired this week whether the FBI should be notified of such approaches.
Democrats said he was giving Russia the go-ahead to meddle again in the next 2020 presidential election.
