had more high profile advisers quit or get fired in year one than any recent president by far. today, he suggested more may soon go, but insisted even more people are clamoring to come work for him. >> they all want to be in the white house. so many people want to come in. i have a choice of anybody. i can take any position in the white house and i'll have a choice of the ten top people having to do with that position. >> reporter: the president's comments came in a joint news conference with the prime minister of sweden, whose government is deeply concerned about russia interfering in its upcoming elections. a swedish journalist wanted to know if trump is concerned, too. >> are you worried about russia trying to medel in the midterm elections? >> no, because we'll counteract whatever they do. we'll counteract it very strongly. >> reporter: that seems to contradict what the president's top intelligence official told congress today. >> clearly, we have not successfully countered in an offensive way.

>> reporter: and the director of the initial security agency recently said the president has not given him full authority to go after russia in siper er cyberspace. >> we're taking steps but we're probably not doing enough. >> reporter: but today, the president downplayed russia interference. >> well, the russians had no impact on our votes whatsoever. but certainly there was meddling and probably there was meddling from other countries and maybe other individuals. and i think you have to be really watching very closely. >> so, let's get to jon karl live from the white house tonight. and jon, president trump tweeting today, there is no chaos in the west wing but tonight, the late news about gary cohn. wasn't long ago, you and i were talking here on this broadcast about him being discussed as a possible next chief of staff. >> reporter: gary cohn is or i should say, was, the most widely respected member of the white house staff. he was the one who could stand up and tell the president when he was wrong. his departure, david, will have

repercussions far beyond economic policy here at the white house. >> all right, jon karl with yet another breaking development from the white house. next tonight, emergency evacuations outside pittsburgh tonight, after a train slammed into a tractor trailer carrying dangerous hydrochloric acid spilling thousands of gallons on that acid. a toxic cloud could be seen above the scene, triggers emergency evacuations. and here's abc's david kerley tonight. >> reporter: that tanker truck wrapped around a train is leaking. a cloud of smoke and acid. first responders donning gas masks. >> train accident into a tanker truck. it has raptured tanking some kind of hauling acid. >> reporter: it was more than 4,000 gallons of dangerous hydrochloric acid in the truck. >> the smell started to come into the air. where i was it was just a little bit more of an irritant. smelled like battery acid. >> reporter: the driver of the truck sustained serious injuries when the freight train slammed into it at a crossing. two members of the rail crew suffered respiratory irritation, and even though centerville,

pennsylvania, is rural, 15 homes needed to be evacuated. >> they were sheltering in place initially, but more for peace of mind, we took them out of their homes. >> reporter: rail officials say the truck pulled in front of the csc freight train late morning at this crossing which is marked with signs, but no crossing gates. there were more than 2,000 accidents at crossings last year, more than 1oo involving trucks. in this case officials say a small amount of the acid remains in that truck. officials say it will take some time to empty that truck and clean up the scene. as for those who evacuated, no word on when they may get back in their homes. david? >> david kerley with us tonight. david, thank you. next to that new surveillance video now emerging tonight amid this question. was it a russian poison plot? a former russian spy in critical condition tonight, his daughter also critically ill. and now, that video believed to be of them in the moments before, when this was done in the uk to them. here's abc's chief foreign correspondent terry moran from london tonight.

poisoning in 2004. skripal was released from prison as part of a spy swap that included anna chapman, the glamorous russian agent arrested in the u.s. in 2010. british counterterrorism authorities are now leading the skripal investigation, but right now, for all the suspicions of russia involvement, no one really knolls what's going on here. david? >> terry moran from london tonight. next what could be a major development on the nuclear threat from north korea. it came after a very rare meeting between kim jong-un and south korean officials. afterwards south korea reporting that the north otop testing weapons if the u.s. agrees to talks. tonight, president trump now reacting, and abc's gutman the dmz, the highly secured border between the north and south. >>that for the first time ever kim jong-un face to face with south korean officials who traveled to bee yang. afterwards, south korea said the north korean leader appeared willing to suspend all nuclear and missile tests for talks with
