4:00 am
also tonight, a san bernardino victim is laid to rest. we'll look at how a pakistani terrorist got through u.s. vetting. sergeant bergdahl talks for the first time about going awol. >> 20 minutes out, i'm going, "good grief, i'm in over my head." >> and the "star wars" director has a score to settle with the composer. >> we may need to back the ba-da-da -- repeat those bars. this is the "cbs overnight news." donald trump is back on top in the race for the republican presidential nomination. today a new cbs news/"new york times" poll of gop primary voters has him at 35%, his highest number yet in our polling and up from 22% in october. trump leads his nearest rival,
4:01 am
one. former front-runner ben carson lost half of his support, falling to third. everyone else is in single digits. the poll was taken before trump called for a temporary ban on muslims entering the united states. we have more now from major garrett. >> those numbers, i like looking at. >> reporter: donald trump has long professed a love for polls, and these numbers might add to his fascination. a new nbc news/"wall street journal" poll showed 42% of republicans support trump's call to ban muslims from coming to the u.s., 36% oppose it. among all voters, nearly six in 10 disagree with the plan while 25% support it. >> i have to do what's right. and what's right is this -- we have a problem. it's a serious problem. it's got to be solved. >> reporter: in addition to leading our poll nationwide, republicans give trump a clear
4:02 am
economy. 40% of gop primary voters say they are very confident in trump's ability to deal with terrorism, 51% say the same about his approach to the economy. and yet, trump remains divisive. 23% of gop voters said he is the nominee they would be most dissatisfied with. >> we need to take off the blinders of political correctness. >> reporter: drafting close behind trump, texas senator ted cruz. 30% of republican primary voters are very confident cruz could handle terrorism. he's also seen as the second choice of 26% of trump supporters, outpacing his republican rivals. >> the course of a presidential election, the voters are going to make a decision about every candidate, and ultimately, the decision is who has the right judgment. >> reporter: cruz today picked up the endorsement of bob vanderplatt, a leader among social conservatives in iowa. scott, vanderpplatt has backed
4:03 am
winners, mike huckabee in 2008, and rick santorum in 2012. >> major garrett covering the campaign tonight. major, thank you. today, the investigation of the san bernardino massacre took fbi divers to a lake near the crime scene. they're looking for a hard drive missing from the home of the killers, syed farook and his pakistani wife tashfeen malik. another focus is their 24-year-old neighbor, and carter evans has the latest on him. >> reporter: law enforcement sources tell cbs news, enrique marquez is cooperating with the fbi, that he's told them of a 2012 terror plot he and syed rizwan farook allegedly hatched, then scuttled. marquez could face charges of providing material support for terrorism after admitting he provided two of the assault weapons used in the san bernardino attack. but the more that's revealed about marquez, the more puzzling it is for those who knew him. >> he was really outgoing. he was never violent.
4:04 am
a college classmate. >> just the fact that he is friends with him doesn't mean that he did it. >> reporter: marquez had converted to islam and visited this mosque a couple of times three or four years ago, according to a spokesman. a mosque member who met marquez says he seemed to be searching for direction, was exploring islam, and later said he wanted to convert to buddhism. another friend tells cbs news, "when he talked about islam, he talked about it in the past tense. he told me that he de-converted years ago." something else marquez may have shielded from his friends was that he had a wife, a russian woman who is related to farook by marriage. but neighbors of marquez say they never recall seeing his wife. today, outside the house where family members have shunned reporters for days, marquez's mother spoke briefly in spanish captured by cell phone ideo. "my world is upside down," she says. "my son is a good person." marquez lived in the home behind me, right next door to where his
4:05 am
lived. and scott, the first of the funerals for the san bernardino victims was held today. 27-year-old yvette velasco was laid to rest. >> carter evans, carter, thanks. tashfeen malik got into the united states on a fiance visa, and she was screened for ties to terrorism. margaret brennan has been looking into that. >> reporter: tashfeen malik arrived in the u.s. with her fiance, syed farook, in july 2014. just two months earlier, she passed a u.s. government background check that found no suspected ties to terrorism. she was granted a k-1 visa, even though the fbi now believes she was radicalized before she met farook. the state department says malik was thoroughly questioned during an interview at the u.s. embassy in pakistan. she also filled out a questionnaire where she was asked, "do you seek to engage in terrorist activity? are you a member of a terrorist
4:06 am
five u.s. agencies also vetted her, checking her fingerprints against two databases. neither her name nor image showed up on a u.s. terror watch list. malik gave an incomplete home address, which could have raised red flags, but it's not clear if it was intentional. now congress is demanding to know what questions she was asked and to see her visa application. house republican matt salmon: >> and they say the vetting process is -- has got all these failsafes, but apparently there aren't enough failsafes because she got through the system and how many others have gotten through the system? >> reporter: 35,000 other foreigners received k-1 visas last year. just 618 applications were denied. white house spokesman josh earnest said the program will likely be changed. >> if somebody entered the united states through the k-1 visa program and proceeded to carry out an act of terrorism on american soil, that program is, at a minimum, worth a very close look.
4:07 am
state and homeland security admit that no screening will ever be 100% secure, especially, scott, in a case like this, where there were no history of ties to a terrorist group, and malik did not make her extremist views public. >> margaret brennan at the white house for us tonight. margaret, thanks. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. almost sixty million americans are affected by mental illness. together we can help them with three simple words. my name is chris noth
4:08 am

4:10 am
the plans of some terrorists because their communications are encrypted. here's nancy cordes. >> reporter: this is where terrorists turn these days when they want to talk undetected, a messaging app, called "telegram," available for free on any smartphone. >> it's the go-to application for terrorist communication. >> reporter: elliot zweig is deputy director at the middle east media research institute. >> "telegram" has set it up that even they themselves don't retain the information. they cannot monitor the content. >> reporter: and there are dozens of other apps just like it, featuring powerful encryption law enforcement can't crack. >> that is a big problem. we have to grapple with it. >> reporter: fbi director james comey revealed wednesday that one of the two men who tried to attack a garland, texas, conference center in may communicated with an overseas terrorist 109 times that morning.
4:11 am
you what he said with that terrorist, 109 times the morning of that attack. >> reporter: so congress is considering legislation that would compel tech companies to unscramble and hand over suspicious and encrypted messages, but many of these companies operate outside of the u.s. "telegram" was founded by a russian and is based in germany, and experts warn that isis is testing out its own encrypted android app, so it won't have to rely on outside companies at all. even u.s. tech companies have balked at the notion of new laws. they say encryption is there to protect all kinds of personal data and if they give law enforcement a way in, scott, eventually, hackers will find their way in, too. >> nancy cordes on capitol hill. thank you, nancy. connecticut is about to become the first state to ban anyone on a government watch list from buying a firearm. that is something that congress has not done, despite a request from the president.
4:12 am
order. supreme court justice antonin scalia is under fire tonight for comments he made during oral arguments yesterday. the court was hearing a challenge to affirmative action at the university of texas. here's our chief legal correspondent, jan crawford. >> reporter: justice scalia was describing an argument made in court papers by opponents of affirmative action. "there are those who contend it does not benefit african americans to get them into the university of texas where they do not do well," says scalia, "as opposed to a slower tracked school where they do." scalia was referring to the mismatched theory that minorities admitted through affirmative action, often from disadvantaged communities, tend to enter at the bottom of the class. then they have trouble competing. with that in mind, scalia continued, "i don't think it stands to reason that it's a good thing for the university of texas to admit as many blacks as
4:13 am
but outside the court, no one cared about the legal arguments. scalia was deemed racist. minority leader harry reid even took to the senate floor. >> but it is deeply disturbing to hear a supreme court justice endorse racist ideas from the bench. >> it's not the least bit racist. >> reporter: stuart taylor co-authored the book that pioneered the mismatch theory. >> justice scalia used rather awkward words, but the point he was making was absolutely correct that when you dramatically lower academic standards to let in a racial group into a college who wouldn't get in otherwise, they're going to have trouble competing with the people who got in the old-fashioned way. >> reporter: now supporters of affirmative action say the mismatched theory understates the real advantages that minority students get by attending these highly selective schools. and, scott, they point out that the graduation rates for minorities at u.t. austin, well, they're the highest of any public college in the state. >> jan crawford in the washington newsroom. thanks, jan. army sergeant bowe bergdahl
4:14 am
since he was released in a prisoner swap last year. bergdahl was captured by the taliban in 2009 after he wandered from his post in afghanistan. his first interviews are now on the podcast "serial," and david martin is at the pentagon. >> reporter: the army's investigation of bergdahl portrayed him as a cockeyed idealist, an image he seemed to confirm with his own words. the soldier the army has charged with desertion, and some have branded a traitor, told an interviewer he abandoned his post in an effort to draw attention to problems within his own unit.
4:15 am
wasn't long after he walked away that he realized how stupid. >> reporter: it took the taliban about a day to find him. >> reporter: bergdahl spent the next five years as a prisoner of the taliban. much of it was in a pitch-black room. >> reporter: bergdahl's stunt backfired not only on himself but also on his fellow soldiers. their lives were put in greater jeopardy by having to spend several weeks hunting for him. the army still has not decided what to do with bergdahl. he faces charges that could
4:16 am
investigators have recommended he not spend any more time in prison. scott. >> david martin at the pentagon. david, thanks. tornadoes are rare in the pacific northwest, but people who live in the town of battleground, washington, near the oregon border, think their town was hit by one today, and david begnaud is there. >> there really is a tornado. >> reporter: it looked like a tornado to people living in battleground, washington. >> we got multiple calls. trees down all over. >> reporter: the unusual weather came amid four days of fast-moving pacific storms that left much of oregon and washington a mess. andrew says his neighbor's shingles were hitting his home like knives. what did it look like outside? >> it looked like "the wizard of oz" out here. there was debris flying everywhere, trees flying down the road, people's sheds, pools, trampolines. >> reporter: since monday, as much as 18 inches of rain has swelled northwest rivers and saturated the ground, toppling trees. a landslide closed the
4:17 am
washington most of today. >> i was told the department of transportation has hopes, this is hopes at the moment, to reopen at least one lane. >> reporter: governor jay islee declared a state of emergency. two people died, including a 72-year-old woman who drowned overnight her car in clactskani, oregon. her husband was able to crawl out of the sunroof. back here in battleground, the witnesss say what looked like a tornado lasted only 30 seconds. scott, no one was hurt. >> david, thanks. coming up, more people become ill after eating at chipotle. i absolutely love my new york apartment, but the rent is outrageous. good thing geico offers affordable renters insurance. with great coverage it protects my personal belongings should they get damaged, stolen or destroyed.

the ceo of chipotle apologized today as more people reported getting ill after eating in a restaurant in boston. there are now 141 suspected cases of norovirus at boston college. here's anna werner. >> reporter: the shutdown of this chipotle in boston is the fifth health-related crisis for the restaurant chain in six months. boston college says students who ate there came down with norovirus, which causes nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. tim fox is a senior. >> severe stomach pain, like, really sharp pain, something i never really felt before. >> reporter: city health officials believe this outbreak may have begun with a sick employee who contaminated the food. health inspectors cited the restaurant for allowing that sick employee to work and for
4:20 am
temperatures. chipotle's health-related issues began last july with a small e. coli outbreak in seattle. in august, 100 people were sickened by norovirus in california. then starting in october, dozens of customers in chipotle restaurants across nine states came down with e-coli infections. the chain temporarily closed 43 of its restaurants. data shows chipotle is the fastest expanding restaurant chain in the u.s., opening 799 restaurants since 2009. sales have more than doubled to $4 billion. >> i'm sorry for the people who got sick. >> reporter: ceo steve ells pledged to overhaul food safety protocols in an interview with nbc news. the stock has rebounded today but is still down almost 25% since august. and just a short time ago, authorities in seattle announced they have closed a chipotle

4:30 am
this morning, the fear of terrorism in the united states is at its highest level since 9/11. a cbs news/"the new york times" poll finds 79% of americans believe it's likely a terror attack will be carried out in the u.s. in the next few months. and for the first time since before the great recession, terrorism is of greater concern to americans than the economy. now, the poll was taken after last week's mass shooting in san bernardino, california, and the isis-directed attacks in paris. the apprehension is fueling support for donald trump's presidential campaign. >> they had one guy who bought the guns. they had another person that said, oh, i didn't want to report them because i didn't want to go racial profiling. oh, okay. see the pipe bombs sitting all over the place and didn't want to racially profile. how stupid do they think we are? >> reporter: trump's tough talk on terrorism has helped his campaign surge.
4:31 am
york times" poll shows him with 35% support among republican voters, a new high for the real estate mogul. trump is seen as the best candidate to protect the americans. 71% say they are at least somewhat confident in trump's ability to handle terrorism. >> we can't worry about being politically correct. we just can't afford any more to be so politically correct. >> reporter: it's a stark difference from what americans think of president obama. more than half, 57%, disapprove of his handling of terrorism. the poll was taken before trump proposed banning all muslims and that caused an outcry among politicians from both parties. on "late night with seth myers," clinton said trump's campaign is no laughing matter. >> i no longer think he is funny. line and what he is saying now is not only shameful and wrong,
4:32 am
>> despite trump's surge among republicans, he remains a highly divisive figure. nearly two-thirds of voters, 64%, say they would be concerned or scared of a trump presidency. we will look at how trump's proposal regarding muslims entering the u.s. is affecting his business. that is coming up on "cbs this morning." u.s. investigators now believe the shooters in last week's california rampage, syed farook and tashfeen malik, exchanged extremist messages online as early as 2013, but no red flags popped up when she applied for a visa. malik arrived in the u.s. in july of 2014, two months after her background check found no suspected ties to terrorism. >> they say the vetting process has got all of these fail/safe's but apparently there aren't enough fail/safe's because she got through the system and how many others have gotten through the system?
4:33 am
extremist views public. the white house says the visa program needs to be changed. the search for clues in the california attack led investigators to a small lake. the lake is located about three miles from the social services center where 14 people were gunned down. fbi divers will be back in the water today. cbs news has learned they are looking for a hard drive missing from a computer belonging to syed farook and tashfeen malik. >> we would be remiss not to go into this lake and do a thorough search for any evidentiary items that may come back. at the end of the day, we may come up with nothing. we just don't know yet. >> the fbi says it's possible the couple came to this lake the day of the attack. a former oklahoma city police officer has been convicted of raping and sexually assaulting eight women. he found his victims in a minority low income neighborhood that he patrolled. daniel holtzclaw will be sentenced on january 21st and
4:34 am
his life behind bars. don champion reports. >> the defendant is guilty. >> reporter: daniel holtzclaw sobbed as the verdict was read allowed. on his 29th birthday, a jury found him guilty on 18 of the 36 counts he faced, including first-degree rape and sexual battery. the jury recommended a 263-year sentence. >> we want to assure this community that the oklahoma city police department did the right thing and the oklahoma city d.a.'s office did the right thing, and the jury did the right thing and we will ask the judge that this defendant never sees the light of day. >> reporter: prosecutors say holtzclaw used his badge to violate at least 13 black women over a 7-month period. all of the cases in the low income neighborhood he patrolled. but defense attorneys painted a different picture, seeing the accusers, many who have histories of drug abuse were under the influence when the attacks happened.
4:35 am
the courthouse. >> this is about sexual assault. this is about women being targeted because they are vulnerable, women who were specifically targeted because they are black and they are poor and they have had some contact with the system. >> reporter: in a statement thursday night, oklahoma city's police chief said justice was served. the youngest victim in the case was 17 and she was the last person to testify during the trial. holtzclaw was fired from the force following his arrest last june. >> don champion here in new york, thank you, don. a louisiana grand jury indicted two deputy city marshals in the fatal shooting of 6-year-old jeremy mardis. norris greenhouse and derrick stafford were formally charged with second-degree murder. last month, police say they fired at least 18 rounds in a car driven by chris few and few was wounded but his 6-year-old son was killed.

4:37 am
and mudslides. the storms have killed at least two people. and we are hearing from army sergeant bowe bergdahl for the first time since he was released in a prisoner swap last year. the taliban captured him in 2009 after he wandered away from his post in afghanistan. as david martin at the pentagon shows us, he is telling his story to the podcast serial. >> reporter: the soldier the army is charged with desertion and some have branded a traitor, told an interviewer he abandoned his post in an effort to draw attention to problems in his own unit. >> all i was seeing was basically leadership failure to the point that the lives of the guys standing next to me were literally, from what i could see, in danger of something seriously going wrong and somebody being killed. 20 minutes out, i'm going, good grief, i'm in over my head. suddenly, it really starts to sink in. >> yeah.
4:38 am
not bad, but i really did something serious. >> reporter: it took the taliban about a day to find him. >> i couldn't do anything against, you know, six or seven guys with ak-47s and they just pulled up and that was it. >> reporter: bergdahl spent the next five years as a prisoner of the taliban, much of it in a pitch-black room. >> to the point where you just want to scream and you can't -- like, i can't scream. i can't risk that, so it's like you're standing there screaming in your mind. >> reporter: bergdahl's stunt backfired not only on himself but also on his fellow soldiers. their lives were put in greater jeopardy by having to spend several weeks hunting for him. the army still has not decided what to do with bergdahl. he faces charges that could bring a life sentence. but investigators have recommended he not spend any more time in prison. david martin, cbs news, the pentagon. coming up on the "morning news." scandal at the citadel. cadets are suspended after
