4:00 am
the russia story is a total fabrication. >> this russia thaing is a made-up story. >> 13 russians indicted by special counsel robert mueller for meddling in the presidential election. >> russians recruited and paid real americans. >> the goal here was simple -- damage hillary clinton, and elect donald trump. >> truly regret any additional pain that this has caused. the fbi has determined that protocol was not followed. >> the system failed us.
4:01 am
>> the doctors did a great job. >> i sent her to school yesterday. she was supposed to be safe. >> i don't really care what people who defend the second amendment have to say. their arguments are invalid unless they've experienced this. good saturday morning to you, i'm victor blackwell. >> i'm rene marsh in for christi paul. president trump spent more than a year calling it a hoax, witch-hunt, and total scam. now robert mueller has indicted 13 russians for interfering in the 2016 election. >> in the documents the department of justice claims that russians efforted in -- russians' efforts in the campaign are true. and a stunning admission from the fbi. the bureau says it failed to act on a tip about the florida
4:02 am
school shooter. some are asking could that tip have prevented the massacre that killed 17 students and teachers. we'll have more on the latest developments from florida in a moment. we start with new charges, allegations and denials in the russian investigation. matthew chance is live in moscow. first, cnn white house correspondent abby phillips. you're here with us live. talk to us a little bit about the indictments and what is the white house's reaction to the indictments? >> good morning, 13 indictments against russian nationals makes it all but equivocal that russia interfered with the 2016 election and did so with the purpose of sowing discord in the election. they also made it a goal to boost donald trump and hurt hillary clinton, a claim that the president has viewed as a threat to the legitimacy of his election. president trump has talked about this investigation as a hoax, as a witch hunt, a phony excuse by democrats for their loss at the election.
4:03 am
he's called it terrible and a total scam. but the indictments make it clear that this was all too real. and president trump in the wake of indictments responded yesterday on social media. he said "russia started their anti u.s. campaign in 2014, long before i announced i would run for president. the results of the election were not impacted. the trump campaign did nothing. no collusion." that is partly true. the russians did, in fact, start this effort in 2014. but the indictments also make it clear that there was an effort underway to work actively in the 2016 election, to expose the rifts that were already there. when deputy attorney general rosenstein spoke yesterday, he made it clear while there was no evidence in these indictments that affected the election outcome, it doesn't impact anything that could be coming later on from special counsel robert mueller who is clearly
4:04 am
still working on this investigation, still pushing forward. it's also notable that president trump in the past months has talked about working with russia to prevent russian interference in the election, even though the intelligence community has made it clear that vladimir putin likely directed the attack on the u.s. elections. >> that cybersecurity unit will put together with the russians, that minutes later he said, well, i didn't really suggest that we should do it, that becomes questionable now. thank you very much. now to senior correspondent matthew chance in moscow. >> matthew -- >> reporter: hi, that's right. just what -- sorry. go ahead. >> tell us a little about this internet research agency that is mentioned in this indictment. i mean, it is so sophisticated, the operation that they had set up here. >> reporter: it is. it's a sophisticated operation. you know, when you look at the
4:05 am
detail that's been included in this latest indictment about what the internet research agency did, this is the kremlin troll factories as it's been popular called, it's absolutely incredible. it basically sets out what russian meddling in the u.s. political system looked like and the things they did in order to try and influence the outcome and political debate in the united states. they posted political messages on social websites, actually posing as american citizens. you've got paid russian bloggers sitting at their computers in st. petersburg, the russian city there, pretending to be americans and sort of incentering themselves into -- inserting themselves into blogs to try and skew the debate from one side to the other, usually away from hillary clinton toward the republican candidate, at the time, of course, donald trump. thousands of dollars, the indictment says, were spent on buying political advertising
4:06 am
through social media platforms like facebook and others, as well. and i think it is important -- they used these platforms to organize political rallies in the united states with the express purpose of sowing some social and political discord. take a look. in may, 2016, a small group of anti-islamic protesters gathered outside a muslim community center in the u.s. city of houston. >> down with the nazis! >> reporter: across the street, a counterrally formed, and the two sides held abuse in the stark demonstration of american division and discord. the organizers were thousands of miles away, in st. petersburg, russia, working for a secretive organization which, according to a recent u.s. indictment, had a strategic goal to sow discord in
4:07 am
the u.s. political system. its name, the internet research agency, dubbed "the kremlin troll factory" by former employees who struggled out -- smuggled out rare cell phone images. in 2016, cnn spoke to a russian journalist who went undercover as an internet troll there. >> translator: the u.s. elections are the key issue for the kremlin. of course, russia has invested a lot of effort into them. that's why the troll factories are working. i have no doubt. >> reporter: it was during the russian-backed rebellion in ukraine in 2014 that evidence first emerged of pro-kremlin troll factories filled with bloggers paid to spread false information on line about the conflict. this is the russian oligarch who, according to the u.s. indictments, bankrolled the troll factory operation.
4:08 am
yevgeny prigozhin, known as putin's chef, has denied any guilt. americans are very impressionable people, he told russian state media. they see what they want to see. i have great respect for them, i'm not at all upset that i'm on this list. if they want to see the devil, let them see one. it is the devilish work of russia's internet trolls and social divisions they have incited that the u.s. has now moved firmly against. the russian officials have so far gone back to their additional position which is to reject any allegations as absurd of russian meddling in the u.s. political system s. the most recent comment coming from foreign minister lavrov saying, if you excuse my phrase, all of this is just blather. back to you. >> all right. matthew chance in moscow, thank you. some experts believe that the indictments of the 13
4:09 am
russians are almost a preview of things to come. take a listen. >> i think there are other shoes to drop here. notably, finances. robert mueller and his team know a lot more about this than all is out there that we know. and i think there's much more to come. i didn't see any announcement about closing down the investigation after this indictment. >> let's bring back abbey phillips, cnn white house correspondent with us. juliet kaim, national security analyst and former assistant secretary for the department of homeland security, and michael morrison with us, former u.s. attorney middle district of georgia. juliet, i want to start with you and your thoughts on what we heard there from general clapper. >> i think he's exactly right. remember, mueller has been spending a lot of time on various theories of the case. one is what did russia in fact do which was -- we got some sense of that from the indictments yesterday. then there's the whole financial piece which is where was money
4:10 am
-- who was it flowing to, and why did the russians so badly want trump to win, and why was trump willing to ask the russians to help him to win. we can't forget that trump -- the trump campaign was spending a lot of time essentially urging a lot of this behavior. i think we're only seeing a piece of it. but one of the reasons why we should remember that these indictments came out was because there's a lot of hints, right. there's various people who might be implicated in the conspiracy who are u.s. citizens or related to the trump campaign, but also we have an election coming up. we know we're not going to arrest anyone in the indictments, they're in russia. but to name and shame, expose russia for what they did in hopes that that disrupts their methods in 2016 because we know the trump white house has not enforced the sanctions that were supposed to be put in place in response to their election meddling. >> yeah. >> michael to you, just this
4:11 am
week on capitol hill, dan coats, director of national intelligence, said that there was no single agency in charge of blocking russian meddling. that coupled with what you just heard from clapper that there are more shoes to drop as it relates to what mueller finds as well as what others are saying as far as the meddling that's happening probably as we speak. what's your thoughts on that? >> i think we've got an outstanding group of intelligence agencies, and they can work together. each has a different function. i'm not 00% sure that we have to have a specific russian meddling agency involved. i think between the cia and the fbi and other agencies that certainly we have the intel and the capability to do that. i think he's right, though, that there are likely other things to do. remember, this indictment only deals with the facts concerning these defendants. it's not a complete story of the investigation, not put out as a
4:12 am
summary of the investigation. it only produces and talks about the evidence that is necessary to charge these defendants with crimes and prove their guilt for violations of federal law. i don't think this tells us anything. and i think that for there to be any reliance for the trump administration, by the president, that this vindicates him, we've heard that from him before. we haven't talked about manafort here, haven't talked about gates, all these things out here, mike flynn. other tenets and tentacles of the investigation that we haven't gotten to. the key is we need to follow the money, follow the money, follow the money. i think at some point we'll find out in -- that we look back and see that there was a reason that russia wanted to have trump elected president. i think that's one of the reasons we haven't had his tax returns. he's been holding that tightly. i think that clapper is right that mueller has the investigation and knows there's a money trail that leads back from russia to some -- some folks high up in the trump administration. >> juliet mentioned the sanctions that were voted on by
4:13 am
members of congress nearly unanimously. i think 1% of congress voted against the sanctions, the president signed them into laumlaw. still they announced they would not be implementing them immediately. does this in any way efforts or push the white house's hand to implement those sanctions, and do you expect that we'll hear i guess more urgency from members of congress to encourage the president to implement them? >> it certainly increases the pressure on the president and on the white house. but i think this trump administration believes that they have a parallel diplomatic goal here on russia. they want to burr sue a -- to pursue a different strategy, broker a different relationship, and hold off on sanctions as long as possible. what i see changing is more than an active effort by people pretty high up in the administration, perhaps starting with mike pence, and liasing with other aspects of the
4:14 am
administration in the intelligence community, the attorney general, to work with states to prevent this from happening in the midterms. i think there is a recognition that this is real now, and they have more backing to do that. i think the president will be hard-pressed to come out publicly once again, calling the underlying claim that russia interfered with the election or that they planned to a hoax in the future. it will just be impossible for him to do that now. >> juliet, quickly to you. obviously the u.s. can't bring these 13 individuals here for them to face trial. talk a little about the value of putting out the indictment for mueller considering that. >> absolutely. one of the values is the naming and shaming. extent to which mueller was able to figure out what happened is shocking from a sources and methods perspective. people in the kremlin are not happy today that all this has been exposed. the second, of course, is there are throughout the indictments
4:15 am
references to a firm in texas, to other potential links that would draw in a larger conspiracy here in the united states. what does that mean? it means that if you were con sapphiring, you might be thinking about coming forward or not exposing people in the white house or trump campaign. there's a third piece, quickly, which is facebook and twitter to a lesser extent. the sent to which facebook is all over these indictments as a passive or unhelpful forum is key r. i think -- key. i think it's going to begin a discussion about facebook's obligations or responsibility in 2016. >> right. thank you very much. president trump and the first lady visited victims of the florida school shooting. the president shared these photos of their time at broward north hospital yesterday where several of the survivors are recovering. the thank you very muches also visited the near-- the trumps
4:16 am
also visited nearby sheriff's departments to meet with first responders. >> i got back from the hospital. a young woman was shot, four bullets. two in her lungs. they got her to the hospital in less than 21 minutes. she had no chance. and between the first responders, your people who got her -- you know who i'm talking about -- hay got her there, scott. what a job you've done. i hope you're getting the credit for it because, believe me, you sdrer deserve it. the job you've done unparalleled. you deserve a raise. >> the president is spending the rest of the holiday weekend at his resort. and as the victims recover, we're learning stunning new details about the warning signs, and there were many including racist online rants and a tip weeks ago that could have prevented the carnage. more on that ahead. remember our special night?

4:21 am
a stunning admission from the fbi about the florida schol shooting. the bureau admits it failed to act on a tip that was called in about six weeks before the shooting. the caller talked about the shooter, nikolas cruz's, gun ownership, his desire to kill people, erratic behavior, and disturbing media posts. cnn is learning the posts included racist, homophobic, and anti-semitic rants. >> the fbi's admission prompted this response from florida governor rick scott. "the fbi's failure to take action against this killer is unacceptable. 17 innocent people are dead, and acknowledging a mistake isn't going to cut it. an apology will never bring these 17 floridians back to life or comfort the families who are in pain." scott also called for fbi director christopher wray's resignation. now congress is asking for a briefing into how the fbi
4:22 am
handled the tip. cnn's rosa flores is live in parkland, florida. rosa, can you tell us a little bit more about the instagram message, the group that he belonged to? >> reporter: rene, this is exclusive cnn reporting. we've got teams that are scouring through social media trying to find clues and connect dots. and one of our colleagues was given access to this private instagram chat. and it -- it's a conversation that goes back and forth between six people including this suspect. and the comments are very disturbing. as you and victor mentioned, they are racist, homophobic, anti-semitic about black people. he says that he just simply hates black people. about jews, he says that they plan to destroy the world, so that's why he hates them. about gays, he says that they should be shot.
4:23 am
about white women, he says that they are traitors if they are in in interracial relationships. and so there is just a lot of hate and a lot of back and forth in this chat. again, this is just one other element of his digital footprint that has officials disturbed. >> and you're learning more about what's next for the gunman. what can you tell us? >> reporter: we know there is a hearing on monday. we don't know exactly what the hearing is about. from the public defender, he's saying that the suspect plans to plead guilty, probably no surprise if that happens because we know from probable cause documents that he confessed to the crime. >> rosa flores for us in parkland, thank you very much. joining us now, cnn senior law enforcement analyst tom fuentes. he is also the former assistant director of the fbi. tom, people, you know, even the
4:24 am
vice president said in reaction to the shooting if you see something, say something. people saw something. they said something, and nothing was done. how in the world does the fbi miss something like this? >> certainly it's a catastrophic failure, no question about that. the fbi's admitting to that, that they're going to look into where the breakdown was in the process. interestingly they set the process up six years ago to have a call center with trained operators receive calls from all over the country, all over the world. it's set up in west virginia at the criminal justice information service division, cjis it's called. this was supposed to be to prevent this. so that each individual office with a night clerk who's on duty and may not be as trained, to have specific instructions about what to do, what the protocol process was. obviously in this case,
4:25 am
something broke down or someone. that needs to be looked at. it's absolutely an fbi failure in and of itself. >> as terrible as this mistake, this failure is, i was in parkland, and people want to make sure we're careful about how we frame this. the governor of florida is calling for the resignation. that politicians on state and federal level won't use this mistake as some absolution, right. if they'd only done their job, this wouldn't have happened. possibly that's it, but that this is not used as an excuse for politicians to do what they were going do anyway which is nothing. >> that may be true, but you look at a system like this from start to finish. here's this kid that's nothing but trouble to the local police, 39 trips to the house because of violent interactions, domestic disturbances, abuse of elderly people there. you have all of the incidents. the schools don't just expel people because they get in trouble a couple of times or show up late. violence at school, threats to school, to the point where the
4:26 am
school superintendent or principal issues an e-mail to the faculty if this kid shows occupy campus with a backpack -- shows up on campus with a backpack call here immediately. they had information that sometimes he brought guns and ammunition. you have so many different officials that had an opportunity possibly for an intervention, much earlier in this kid's life, so there's a number of systems that failed. i'm not exonerating or attempting to exonerate what happened with the fbi. but we have this system when it comes to mental health issues, with civil liberties using the internet, social media, and the fbi is constantly winning up against this with social media, for instance. look at the san bernardino killing. kills 14 people, and the fbi has a running battle with apple to get into the phone to find out if he was calling other terrorist cells, and they didn't want to help. this is a murderer. they protecting the civil rights
4:27 am
of a murderer. that's the kind of issues that they run into. >> and the concern i heard was that they don't want politicianses to now say -- politicians to now say that this is the fbi's fault so they don't have to take action, so they'll say this is all on the miss from taking that call. they want action from legislators. we'll see if that happens. tom, thank you very much for being with us this morning. a failed attempt at immigration reform, new indictments in the russia probe, and another alleged affair. next, how those white house -- rather, the white house plans to move on from a very rough week.

4:32 am
story to miss coming on the same day that special counsel robert mueller announced russia indictments and the fbi said they missed tips about warning about the school shooting, but the white house is again denying rumors of an affair by the president. dating back to shortly after the first lady gave birth to their son, barron trump. >> reporter: heading to florida, the president walked alone to marine one. his wife traveling separately amid humiliating headlines, including word that the billionaire businessman's lawyer paid off an adult film star following an alleged affair, and a new claim about another extramarital merger. that story dates to 2016 when "the apprentice" was shooting and having a party at the "playboy" mansion. the married star, donald trump, was there. according to "the new yorker" so was former playmate of the year, karen mcdougal. the magazine says it was the
4:33 am
start of a nine-month whirlwind of hotel room romps, trips, a visit to trump trump tower where he pointed out his wife's bedroom, talk of the trump vodka and miss universe pageant. mcdougal said he paid for -- she paid for everything and was reimbursed to avoid a paper trail leading to trump. the white house says this is just more fake news. the president said he never had a relationship with mcdougal. how did "the new yorker" come up with the sordid tale? a friend of mcdougal supportly gave the magazine eight handwritten pages. >> she wrote a detailed chronicle of the fair in the course of selling the story. >> reporter: the story did sell to the company that owns "the national enquirer" for $150,000 days before the election. according to the "wall street journal" and "the new yorker." why didn't she read it? the "enquirer," which was a
4:34 am
friend of trump's, did not publish the story. by paying for it, it legally blocked anyone including her from coming out with details. "the enquirer" has made no comment on that part of the story. cnn, washington. >> as you saw, the first couple did not leave the white house together for their trip to florida, but they did leave air force one at the same time when they landed in west palm beach. gabbi martin iehlo joining us from "the washington examiner." >> we don't hear a lot from melania trump, but we are seeing these sort of visual cues so to speak as victor brought up. she showed up in d.c., headed to florid florida alone. my question is how is the white house behind the scenes handling news of yet another alleged affair with the president? >>. >> their m.o. is to deny, den irish de-- deny, and behind the
4:35 am
scenes not say much, as well. we know this is the way that she operates after allegations of extramarital affairs come out. with stormy daniels first and now this "new yorker" story, the first lady has kept a distance from her husband. it's been obvious in the media and when they have been together, you can tell by the body language that there's a sense of awkwardness there. this is a situation where the white house going forward need to come out and issue a full statement. you can no longer get by with saying this is fake news. this is the second extramarital affair that we've heard about. it's not earthshattering giving the president's reputation as a playboy, something that he certainly has had for decades now. but it is something that conservatives can't excuse and his supporters shouldn't excuse. there should be valid questions asked and something the white house needs to address publicly and not just dismiss constantly. >> the white house has had a rough week, a rough two weeks dating back to the beginning of what we learned in the rob
4:36 am
porter scandal. they've got work to do, took to come to some -- daca to come to some agreement with democrats. they need to talk about the plan that's come out. how are they going to get back on message, this -- this memo from john kelly, is that the first entree into trying to do that? >> i think that was a way to sort of mitigate the damage that's been caused over the last two weeks. not only by the white house's failure to properly respond to the rob porter allegation, but also to every other issue that's been mentioned there. they have not advanced any immigration legislation at this point. they're still working to come together on an infrastructure bill. they now have to deal with the shooting in florida and how to respond to that. and an fbi that may have severely lacked the proper protocols in that situation. and on top of that, you had the 13 new indictments yesterday from the special counsel investigation. it has been a horrible two weeks for this white house. going forward, i not the only
4:37 am
way to correct their course is to hone in on some legislative priority. whether that be immigration or infrastructure. and get to talking about just that. that seems to be what they've done previously. i don't know if it's going to work. >> that's the thing. i don't know if it's going to work. when the white house is trying to get back on message, the president -- and its saturday morning and this is -- and it is saturday morning and this is when he likes to tweet -- will send a message that sends the apparatus off track. >> yeah. he cannot keep quiet. he seems to sometimes make situations like this worse. that's been prevalent all along and causes great frustration for white house aides if you talk to anybody inside the west wing. they're constantly complaining about how the president's social media interacting and re-tweeting things can completely contribute to an upheaval in what conversation is happening that day. i think that's probably the case now. again, you never know what he's
4:38 am
going to say, how he's going to wade into a national conversation, if he's going to start talking about gun control. we have no idea what he's going to talk about over the next week. that's a constant source of frustration for people in the white house and covering it. >> thank you very much. still to come, a group of students from marjory stoneman douglas high school get political and are blaming lawmakers for wednesday's shooting. their thoughts about gun control and the ways to prevent incidents like this from happening again. plus, the broward county school district is thinking about tearing down the high school where that shooting took place. the parkland mayor joins us live for more. does your moisturizing romine does. an mvp? aveeno® skin relief. with oat oil and natural shea butter, it softens very dry skin and lasts for 24 hours. aveeno®. it's a game changer. fthere's flonase sensimist.tchy and watery near pollen. it relieves all your worst symptoms including nasal congestion, which most pills don't.

the gop has abandoned us and left us to people like nikolas cruz. >> this is for any of you to respond to. this is who speaker ryan said -- >> we need to think less about taking sides and fighting each other politically and pulling together. >> i disagree with that statement because it's very clear that there are two sides to this, and there are certain people that accept money from the nra. i believe speaker ryan is one of those people. it doesn't seem that the country is coming together. it seems that they're sending prayers and condolences but not taking action like they need to be. >> those who disagree with the framing of what you said and what we're hearing from others is that the nra didn't purchase the gun. the nra didn't pull the trigger. the nra didn't conspire to kill. >> they might not have pulled the trigger, but they're who allowed him to buy the gun. someone who isn't allowed to buy alcohol legally is allowed to buy a war weapon? where does that make sense? >> does this make you
4:45 am
uncomfortable, what you're hearing from people who want to limit access to weapons? >> i don't feel it's realistic to and people to just deny a right that they've been given by the second amendment and throughout the entire history of this country. i feel like if we take small steps that are plausible, maybe later we can take large steps that help this from happening again. i think mental health is something we can all get on. >> if you look at -- if they looked at nikolas cruz five minutes before he bought the gun, they would have said not only is this person not able to wield a gun responsibly, this person belongs in counseling. >> mental health hasn't brought washington together. what's your degree of confidence that anything will happen? >> i've never seen this kind of reaction to something like this. there's been 18 mass shootings in schools this year. and i didn't hear about them.
4:46 am
>> i don't have a degree of confidence at all. stories like these that you hear about on the news and a week later, we're on to something else. >> every time this happens, it's flowers, love. right now there's this air of change. parkland, i feel it, everybody's inspired. everybody is ready to make parkland the last city that has to deal with it. >> the part of my conversation with some of the students from marjory stoneman douglas high school, those five, started this group "never again msd." they've started the social media campaign. they hope it will be more. you'll hear more from them later in the show. joining me now to discuss all of this is the parkland mayor. mayor, thank you very much for being with us this morning. >> good morning. >> i first want to get your reaction to the news that broke from the fbi. they're admitting and apologizing for not responding to, not following protocol after someone who knew the shooter called in and expressed
4:47 am
specifically their concern about a school shooting. what's your reaction to that and what you're hearing from your constituent constituents? >> completely are completely frustrated. it's unbelievable to think that the information was there to prevent this, and it didn't -- it wasn't acted upon like it should have been. >> okay. i read that from the broward county school district that they propose tearing down one of the buildings where this -- where the shooting happened s. that something that you support, is that likely to happen? >> absolutely. so the broward county public schools under the leadership of our superintendent have been absolutely amazing in this community, providing resources. they've been out there advocating for the students. and superintendent runsey is 100% correct in his desire to tear down the 1200 building
4:48 am
where this took place and to rebuild it. the students, teachers, staff, everybody in there was completely traumatized, rightly so, by this event. to expect them to be able to go back into a building where there was such carnage, it's indefensible. i know the superintendent has been working with the state legislators and has spoken with the governor. we are all support they've the building get torn down and rebuilt so the students and faculty and administration do not have to step inside that building again. >> you know, the conversation i had with those students was a microcosm of the conversation we're having nationally. there was cameron who believed there should be movement on gun control. alfonso said that there should be movement on mental health. they believe that there will be some legislative change. are you as confident as they are that those in tallahassee, in florida, and washington will
4:49 am
react legislatively as they have in the past to what happened at the high school? >> i think the residents of parkland and coral springs and the northwest broward community are going to make sure something happens. there is such resolve here. we've been contacted by other areas that have faced similar tragedies, and it's enough already. so while we have people mourning and grieving, we have everyone working and taking action. whether that's action helping people who are affected and dealing with this right now, whether that's action with discussing things with our state legislature and the governor, or whether that's action talking with our congress people and senators, everybody here in this area -- and by this area i mean the whole community in broward that has been affected by this throughout our state and
4:50 am
our country. people want action. and it might be a small step at this moment, but we need to know that the people who represent us want to protect us. >> and speaking of action, do you agree with the governor that the fbi director chris wray should resign after that mistake, not following of protocol in response to the tip about the shooter? >> i believe that the fbi should review what their policies are and make sure that something like that never happens again. we need to make sure that when we have information-hfr this - the day and age we're in. all agencies on a daily basis, we're all getting in information. how do we process it properly and make sure that we're able to use that information to protect our residents. >> but you don't go as far as the governor here? >> i'm not involved in the fbi.
4:51 am
i think there should be consequences for this. but i also more importantly than consequences is there needs to be action to make sure it doesn't happen again. >> all right. mayor hunschofsky, thank you for taking a few minutes with us. we know you're busy there. >> thank you very much. >> we'll be right back. jirk not cool. freezing away fat cells with coolsculpting? now that's cool! coolsculpting safely freezes and removes fat cells with little or no downtime. and no surgery. results and patient experience may vary. some rare side effects include temporary numbness, discomfort and swelling. ask your doctor if coolsculpting is right for you and visit coolsculpting.com today... for your chance to win a free treatment. on the only bed that adjusts on both sides to your ideal comfort, your sleep number setting. does your bed do that? save 50% on the ultimate limited edition bed.
