client pleads the fifth to avoid testifying in the russia investigation. will the president comply if subpoenaed by the special counsel? >> we don't have to. he's the president of the united states. we can assert the same privilege that other presidents have. >> reporter: the former mayor is vowing to protect the president from a perjury trap set by robert mueller. >> they don't have a case on collusion. they don't have a case on obstruction, which is why they're asking these questions. i'm going to walk him into a possibility of perjury? >> reporter: giuliani says in the end, it's the president's decision. >> i'm facing a decision that all of the other lawyers are, every lawyer in america thinks he would be a fool to testify. i have a client that wants to testify. >> reporter: during the campaign, mr. trump mocked those taking the fifth. >> if you're innocent, why are you taking the fifth amendment? >> reporter: giuliani, fresh off the president's criticism. >> he started yesterday. he'll get his facts straight.

>> reporter: i asked him that question, as we approach the one-year anniversary since robert mueller was appointed, ten days from now, i asked him will his client testify? giuliani tells me recent headlines about the investigation make the president more reluctant to testify. he insisted that mueller expressed sensitivity to him and his team about the fact it's been going on too long, this investigation. but a former prosecutor who worked with mueller, said there wasn't a chance in hell, his words, that mueller would have said that. hoda and savannah? >> peter alexander. thanks. this is an important day for melania trump, making a big announcement from the rose garden today. hallie jackson is covering that story. what can you tell us? >> reporter: good morning to you. today, melania trump will formally roll out the initiatives she will focus on for her first term as first lady, 16 months after

and leading to his ouster at cbs news. a third woman still works for cbs and claims rose referred to her as a china doll. insisting on kissing her and other women on the staff, while inside cbs studios. the three women accuse rose of calling them idiots and, one, an f'ing kindergartner. an attorney for charlie rose tells nbc news, the claims in the suit are without merit. it also making accusations to rose's former producer, claiming he harassed chelsea way, approaching her desk from behind, he kicked and shoved her chair with substantial force. she filed complaints against the two of them after allegations against the anchor were first reported. the network did not thoroughly investigate her claims. in a statement, cbs says, we will vigorously defend against the allegations pertaining to

cbs news and mr. kadro. the network said they are working to ensure a safe environment. >> welcome to the program. >> reporter: but the accusations come as another rose accuser stems forward publicly. a former intern for rose's pbs show in 2007 writes in the new york review of books, that rose repeatedly groped her, allegedly forcing her to unclog a toilet in his long island home. the woman says rose was enabled at the highest levels. a spokesperson for pbs calls the details described by the internal as, quote, troubling. they added that the show was produced by rose's independent company and pbs did not supervise its production. they stress they expect the producers of their programs to provide a safe working environment. that's why they immediately terminated the relationship with charlie rose late last year, guys. >> a lot of strands to follow

turns over the years, it's hard to keep track. friday's ruling could finally mean that michael skakel lives the rest of his life a free man. but the family of the victim has few answers more than 40 years after her death. martha moxley mother, dorothy, speaking out to nbc news. >> i was disappointed and shocked. i can't believe this has happened. >> reporter: she is finding some peace. >> i think we've already received some justice. he was in jail for 11 years. his life is not going to be pleasant. >> reporter: it's the latest twist in a murder mystery that spans decades. the complicated, high-profile case, made more public by his famous family. >> michael skakel would not be in jail if people would not have been able to call him kennedy cousin. >> reporter: the nephew of ethel kennedy was arrested in 2000, for the 1975 murder of martha moxley, his neighbor in the

well-to-do suburb of greenwich, connecticut. prosecutors claim skakel killed moxley with a golf club. skakel was convicted of the murder in 2002 and sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. skakel spent more than a decade behind bars. but then, got a new legal team that argued his original trial attorney made mistakes. five years ago, a judge agreed. skakel posted $1.2 million in bail and was freed, pending appeal. then, two years ago, the connecticut supreme court reinstated his conviction. but that same court now says skakel did not get a fair trial, all those years ago, because his lawyer at the time failed to present evidence of an alibi, the conviction no longer stands. the kennedy family often showed up to support skakel in court. his cousin, robert f. kennedy jr., wrote a book, laying out a case for skakel's defense, discussing with "dateline" in

2015. >> powerful piece of evidence he could not have done it because he was 11 miles away with 5 eyewitnesses. >> reporter: it's unclear if prosecutors will try the case again. but after nearly 43 years of seeking justice, martha moxley's family is ready to move on. >> martha was killed when i was 43. in a couple of weeks i'm going to be 86. that means half of my life i have lived with this. so, i think i can live the rest of my life with it also. >> reporter: dorothy moxley told us she believes michael skakel killed her daughter. over the years, skakel's defense team has suggested that perhaps skakel's brother was involved. >> kate, thank you so much. for more on all of this, we te turn to michael skakel's attorney, michael fitzpatrick. good morning. what did michael skakel say when

he heard the supreme court decided the conviction should be overturned after all? >> gratified, elated and very thankful to all of the lawyers who participated in this case and had pressed forward with the appeals over the years. >> people understand, it is extremely unusual for the connecticut supreme court to essentially reverse itself. decided the case one way. the defense lawyers asked for them to rehear the case and they reversed themselves. >> the attorney who handled the appeal did a masterful job of helping the connecticut supreme court understand the enormity of the mistake made by the original trial lawyer in this case. and the connecticut supreme court, for its part, has never hesitated to reverse a decision that would otherwise result in an injustice. >> the court itself changed, the makeup of the court. a new justice came on. suddenly you have a different supreme court that's going to

hear the case, did that help michael skakel. >> i don't think so? i think the conviction would have been vacated. >> now, the prosecutors have the ball in their court again. they can retry michael skakel or appeal this conviction -- this decision by the connecticut supreme court, to the u.s. supreme court. have you any indication on what prosecutors will do? >> we don't. we haven't talked to them since the decision came out. we're going to respect the process. we know that state's attorney, will meet with his staff and mrs. moxley and weigh their options. but at some point, the lawyers will meet and certainly we will urge the state's attorney to favorably resolve this case. >> one of the underpinnings of the legal strategy has been to cast suspicion on michael skakel's brother, thomas. and one of the key errors

identified by the defense team was that the trial lawyer didn't do that. so, is it michael skakel's position that his brother committed this crime? >> i would never get into privileged conversations. but this is what i can tell you -- that someone else committed the crime is inherent in the case. it goes hand in hand with the fact that at the time martha moxley was killed, michael skakel was at a location far from her home. >> fair enough. but it isn't just somebody else that allegedly committed the crime. the defense legal papers suggest that it was the brother who should have had the finger pointed at him. there was an error in michael skakel's case that they didn't do that sufficiently. it sounds like michael skakel is pointing the finger at his brother or allowing his lawyers to do so. >> to publicly point the finger or to reveal defense strategy in this stage of the proceedings would not be appropriate. we recognize those people are

entitled to the resumption of innocence. and we asked people to keep an open mind with respect to michael skakel, we're going to honor the process at this stage. >> a lot to come in this case. michael fitzpatrick, thank you for being here. we're going to switch gears and get a check of the weather from al. >> this is some wild video. you have to come to the tv and take a look at this. this is turkey. look at this, after days of heavy rain, look at the flooding. this guy basically surfing, riding his car, trying to survive. so far, reports of only six people injured, thankfully. this is amazing stuff. we're not going to see anything like this in western montana. but they do have some flash flooding. folks are being evacuated because of snow melt and heavy thunderstorms. a few evening storms could be in the plains. the heaviest rain will move into minnesota tomorrow. we have a weak low pressure

lips is next. what are these? >> these are just different types of sunscreens. you can get sunscreens that work well for different skin types. you can have creams that are good for sensitive or dry skin. jells that are great for hairy areas. and you can have sunscreens like sprays that work well for those types of people who are kind of in a rush. if you want to get back to the lip section, lips are important because with lips, what happens is people forget to apply sunscreens on their lips. they think that the lip gloss is good for their skin. but it enhances effectiveness of the sun and makes you burn easily. you want to be careful. matte and opaque lipsticks are good but not good as an spf. sticks are good for babies. they're good around the eyes and good for the lips. you can use them on the nose, as

well. and people like them on the faces. but that's really it. it's not good for other areas. >> just for that. great to have in your bag, right? >> they're small and easy. and kids love them. >> i like the spray because i don't like to rub in a lotion. but do they work as well? >> sprays work really well. the problem with sprays, they are difficult to apply. people think they're easy because you spray them on and they're going to see the effectiveness. the problem with sprays is there's a lot of missed areas. people for get to rub them in and they get burned in areas where sprays have landed. you have to do a lot of it. >> how much is -- what you just have to continually go back and forth. >> you have to go back and fort and take your hand and rub it in, which most parents and people who use sprays do not do. then, they end up with bush ebu areas in different areas. >> that's a good tip. i've been doing it wrong.

a lot of people like a moisturizer spf. a lot of them only have 15. >> when you go to the store looking for sunscreens, it's overwhelming. you want to look for something that's broad spectrum. you want to have something that has spf of at least 30. if you're heading to the beach, you want to make sure it's water-consiste water-consiste water-resistant. it's a great base layer but it's good to put something over it. you can't use the sunscreens if you go to the beach. they won't stay on, they don't have the effectiveness of other sunscre sunscreens. they're good for going to work, great for walking around the city. you have to put them on and you have to put them on frequently. >> and check your expiration date. >> they usually have a shelf life of three years, if your bottle is lasting three years, it's too short. and make sure you're not leaving it in your glove compartment, in a hot environment. it will decompose and it won't

friends, we felt like we had too much pride and too much insecurities to just say, hey, did that ever actually happen? or was that a creation of someone else, who did not want to see two women rise together? we're talking about how to stop human trafficking, sexual trafficking. we're both outspoken about black lives matter. we're outspoken about so many things in your community. and we have huge platforms and imagine if we came together. that's what we talk about on her show, how we got over ourselves and how we evolved. no feud. just a lot of silence. to come together and create something really beautiful. >> it fits under your umbrella. >> joy, peace and grace. >> wow. we love having you. i think you're hitting your stride and you go one up. thanks for coming to see us. you will be back in our fourth hour because we have to have wine with you. we're going to talk about so much more.

kerosene. do you think you should tap the brakes on those tricks? >> i don't just jump into the things and try to kill myself. i train and practice and work hard for years on them. so, you know, it's not like i assume things will be okay. i work diligently. >> is there one trick you have to do or the audience will be disappointed? is there one that's everyone's favorite? >> this tour is like its own piece. it's an endurance challenge the entire tour. the idea of putting everything into one night is something that i don't know if i can complete. so, the actual show itself is the challenge. >> wow. >> you got a couple little tricks you can show us maybe? >> yeah. i brought something simple. can i give you this for a second. everybody can see the cards are different. >> regular deck. >> okay. and then, maybe what i could have you do, if you don't mind, is just behind your back, can you give it a mix? >> i think i can. should i turn around so the camera can see?

>> it doesn't matter. just so no one knows. >> okay. >> can we examine them? >> yes. >> you agree the deck is shuffled. >> nothing weird. don't see anything weird. >> i'm going to place one card in a specific location. it doesn't matter. >> okay. >> name any card out loud. >> ace of hearts. >> i put a card in the specific location. just now. slide open the box and pull out the first card and show them. show them what the card is. >> that's impossible. >> how do you do that? >> david, i almost said the 2 of clubs and i changed my mind at the last second. >> how did you do that? you can't tell us. >> name a number up to 30, by the way. >> 28. >> do me a favor, can you take out the rest of the cards and watch they don't spill.

can you hold your hands like this. push them together so we can see. just grab them. >> you're scaring me. >> 12, 14. 16. 18. 20. 22. 24. 26. 28. >> and stop on 28. put them down. you said 2 of clubs was the other choice and 28. turn it over. >> i'm going to die. it cannot be. >> please. this is -- oh. >> did you talk before this segment? >> we hung out all week, every day. >> why wasn't i invited? >> this is what i didn't come to do. >> i need to live here for a minute. that's insane. >> we'll shuffle just a little more. and everybody can see, it's not like there's an order. >> how do you do that? >> here's what i need for this. i need exactly half of the deck. >> how am i going to know? you want me to count it out?

>> cut the deck in half. >> like this? >> rip it in half. >> you want me to rip it? i can't. i don't have the strength. >> there's a technique to it, actually. it's not about strength. here's the technique. nothing funny. >> we're watching. >> you make a grip with your hands and the cards will cut themselves. watch. that's how we do that. savannah, which half do you want? up to you. >> i'll take this one. watch they don't spill. hold them in your hand, face down. and pick up a bunch and put them on the bottom. every time you do that, it will change the order of the deck. hold them behind your back this time. and watch they don't spill. and cut with both hands. cut the deck.

watch they don't spill. and keep your hands behind your back. >> okay. >> and take either the top piece or the bottom piece, whichever one you want. and give me the rest and keep that piece behind your back. the rest we don't need. and you can see, they're all shuffled. they're all different, right? >> yeah. >> can you do me a favor? pull one. >> you didn't go for the obvious one like the ace or the queen. >> i wasn't looking. >> you took one without looking. >> you want me to look? >> you took half of a card, but you were looking. you took half of a card and you didn't look. >> so, together, you both have one whole card. >> no, we don't. >> that's impossible. i would like to go on record and say it's impossible. shall we? >> it's up to you. i can't handle it. what are you talking about? stop it. >> who are you? >> who are you and who sent you? >> that's scary. >> that's amazing.
