>> reporter: a local fbi agent spoke and the former president trump says the fbi interview will take place on thursday. the director of the secret service admitted it was a significant operational failure and she ended up resigning. remember, the gunman not only shot at the former president but killed one rally attendee and injured two others before he was killed by a united states secret service sniper. anne-marie? >> those are stunning details. leah mishkin in london, thank you so much. >> thank you. vice president kamala harris returns to the campaign trail in the battleground state of georgia today. one contender is taking himself out of the running. north carolina governor roy cooper is pulling himself out of consideration. a source said that cooper was concerned that his republican lieutenant governor would behave like a, quote, acting governor when he left the state to campaign as part of the democratic ticket. cbs's weijia jiang reports from the white house. >> reporter: just 99 days before the election -- >> she will be worse than
