President Donald Trump said Sunday morning he and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed creating an "impenetrable Cyber Security unit."
By Sunday evening, Trump seemed to water down that possibility — after pointed GOP criticism.
Sen. Lindsey Graham said, "It's not the dumbest idea I've ever heard, but it's pretty close."
Sen. John McCain told CBS, "I'm sure Vladimir Putin could be of enormous assistance in that effort since he's doing the hacking."

Trump later tweeted just because he discussed a cybersecurity unit with Putin doesn't mean it can happen. He said, "It can't."
