"the new york times" says a facebook internal investigation found no evidence of systemic political bias in its trending topics. a report this month accused the social network of suppressing conservative views. in a statement yesterday, facebook announced changes, including no longer using some national news sources to boost trending topics.

"the seattle times" says americans are kicking the smoking habit at a faster rate. new government figures show the rate of adults who smoked last year fell to 15%. that's two percentage points lower than 2014. it's the biggest one-year drop in more than 20 years. smoking is blamed for more than 480,000 deaths in this country

then-temple university employee was criminal sexual assault. cbs news legal expert rikki klieman is here. so what are we going to see in

court today? >> well, the choice is really up to the prosecution. they can put andrea on the witness stand in order to accomplish probable cause that she was actually assaulted by mr. cosby. or because of a case in pennsylvania, they could use what we call hearsay, meaning they could call a police officer or a detective to read into evidence her report. when i thought about this yesterday, i said, well, of course they're going to call her because we want to see her and we want to the see how strong she is, and they want to put on a show. i don't mean that inappropriately. they want the world to see. as i thought about it overnight, if i were the prosecutor, i would not call her. >> why? >> because of the risks involved. the risks involved are exactly that you play into the defense attorney's hands. what does a defense lawyer want out of a preliminary hearing? defense lawyers love preliminary hearings. they get to cross-examine the

key witness. what they get to do is to trap the witness in a statement, get the witness to commit to something that perhaps later on they might want to contradict themselves and they're stuck because it's under oath. and also to discover. that is, to find out information. why did she go back to his home after she alleges she was sexually assaulted? why did it take her a year to bring the complaint? >> well, their team says this was a consensual incident between the two of them. >> that is what they say. >> what's their strategy then? >> well, the defense strategy is certainly to say that in this consensual encounter, that the only reason that she went forward with a civil complaint a year later was in order to get money. so they really want to paint her in a very unflattering way. >> what about some of the details we learned from these 2005 and 2006 depositions about quaaludes, about sexual

encounters with teens? pretty grisly stuff. >> grisly, yes. gruesome and plain creepy. what we find out from those kinds of admissions that were made by mr. cosby in various depositions is they'll fight about them at the trial, and they may fight about them today. >> do they want a criminal conviction because that will then make him much more vulnerable to civil suits? >> no, they want a criminal conviction because they think he deserves it. >> all right. thank you very much, rikki kki klieman's seat.

good morning, everybody. liza batallones here. slow traffic for 101 to and through the peninsula. northbound, expect delays leaving the 92 interchange through san mateo. there was an earlier accident, 280 northbound at millbrae, and highway 1 in pacifica has been a problem. the traffic lights are still out at linda mar, causing delays in both directions of highway 1. meantime, heading towards the altamont pass, the problems continue because of an earlier accident west 580. brian? liza, a relatively easy job compared to traffic. looking at san jose, a chance of blue and 58 degrees right now and the forecast highs, we'll find them in the mid-60s today and take heart. later in the week, we'll warm it up, and we'll be near 80 again inland and with a chance

of showers in the north bay today but high and dry through monday.

good morning to our viewers in the west. is a tuesday, may 24th, 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning." more questions for donald trump about his fundraising for veterans and his potential running mates. here are today's eye opener at 8:00. lines across this country back a black eye across the country. >> conflicting information about the forensic information adding to the confusion today in cairo. >> the clinton campaign's first big attack against donald trump.

>> most republicans are falling in line behind trump and getting more support for the party's biggest donor. >> the office says that ro played a little role in the arrest and death -- >> the department of justice launched investigations into police tactics. >> do they want a criminal conviction because that would make him more vulnerable? >> no, because they think he deserves it. >> doing it all without the help of supplemental oxygen. the white house went into lock down after several balloons floated on to the white house lawn yesterday. even worse, bernie sanders house was attached to them. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. the presidential race is starting to focus on 375 pledged

delegates up for grabs in california. one of six states that will vote two weeks from today. with so many at take, hillary clinton and bernie sanders are spending a lot of time there. >> in santa monica, sanders criticized clinton not committing to another debate. sanders was asked if he thinks the democratic convention will be messy. >> so what, democracy is messy. every day of my life is messy. if you want things to just be quiet, that's not what democracy is about. >> bernie sanders says his campaign is bringing in political newcomers and the democratic party should embrace them. >> hillary clinton and her campaign are looking past bernie sanders and attacking trump. >> trump economics is a recipe for lower wages and fewer jobs.

he could bankrupt america like he bankrupted companies. how can anyone lose money running a casino, really? >> bill clinton called trump's position on muslim americans "a disgrace." >> california suffered the most recent terrorist incident in san bernardino. those people were converted over social media. he can build his little wall along the mexican border. every plane the air force has in the air. you cannot keep out social media. that is why we need to embrace our fellow americans who are muslims and love freedom and hate terror and want to be part of this country. they should be here. trump posted this video on instagram that focuses on unproven sexual assault charges against the former president. he says he would wrath ver a

policy deba -- rather have a policy debate. >> they're being nasty and i'm just responding. >> he pushed back on skeletons from his own past. allegations of him pretending to be his own publicist. you're going so low to talk about something that took place 25 years ago, let's get on to more current subjects. >> cbs this morning looking at donald trump's net worth. what he says about it and what others reported. on monday we looked at his 2006 lawsuit against a biographer. he was questioned about exaggerating his reality. >> trump said his brand was worth $3.3 billion. but last year forbes magazine estimated it to be far lower at $125 million. hillary clinton is making trump's financial affairs a focus of her campaign.

why so many discrepancies about a man's wealth coming from financial institution togs which he applied for credit. >> i think you to look at the american success story. a person that borrowed a million dollars and grew it to a $10 billion asset or more. if he sold it off, it would be -- >> the question is not if she successful in business, the question is what he says or what the financial institutions say. >> in the properties and cashes he owned. >> he had $557 million in income last year. he just filed the largest personal disclosure statement in the history of our country. here is the problem with the statement. when you look at trump tower, a massive building here, the sopgs to say it is worth more than $50

million. the building across the street sold for $1.8 billion. he can't say that building is worth $2 billion or more, you just say $50 million but that is not a true accounting. >> one way to account for your wealth is your tax returns. >> it shows what your income is. he showed what his income is $557 million last year. he has massive cash flow, very little debt, less than 2% or 3% of his net. look at the properties he owns -- >> but we keep hearing about the property he owns, but your tax returns show what you pay in taxes, what you make in charitable contributions. >> as a businessman to his family and corporation, he pays the smallest amount of taxes possible which i think the american people understand. every deduction possible, he fights for every single dollar. that's the mind-set you want to bring --

>> no one begrudges that. it's not the issue of how much she deducting, the question is transparency on a man who is one of the two people most likely to become president. >> the taxs are in a routine audit right now. as your legal counsel, i would never allow you to release them until the routine irs is done. this is the fault of the irs. once the audit is done -- >> the irs says -- >> there is no legal obligation. when you release them and the irs and everyone else has the ability to scrutinize them. let them for their work and when that is done he will release it. >> within a day? >> as soon as it done. >> you know prump's tax attorney says they have taxes from 2002 and 2008, the audits are done, it has been clear. why not release the tax return

from from those dates? >> there is nothing to see from 2002, 2003, and 2004. you're wondering what his tax rate is. it is as low as possible. the issue is that all of those other subjects, once they are done, he will release them. >> i guess the issue is that trump had been publicly insistent that mitt romney release his taxes. he said it's a great thing when you can show that you've been successful and that you made a lot of money into will it show that it is smaller? >> no, and mitt romney release ad summary of his taxes back in february until he was pressured to get them done. and harry reid went on the floor and forced mitt romney to put

them out. they were not under audit at the time. but it was revealing. they showed his lower tax rate. they showed he had some off shore accounts. >> mr. trump is proud to pay a lower tax rate. >> let us now how low it is. i want to know too, i want to know how he does it. >> you need to fight for every dollar to fight for the business and put it back into jocks. > mitt romney said there is, in his judgments, something to hide. >> mitt romney is a failed presidential candidate on two occasions. he wants in the race so badly and then realized he could not win. he had the opportunity, he disappeared for the last three weeks. he went to build an eight-car garage at his malibu home.

donald trump embraces it. >> take mitt romney out of it. people say people who have nothing to hide hide nothing. that goes to the question of transparency, number one. isn't trump asking vp candidates to provide their own tax returns? >> we have showed over 500 business interests that he has. it's available any where you want, half a billion a year in income. great cash flow, low debt. i don't know what you think you will learn, once the irs is done he will release the taxes. >> when are you hearing they're done. >> that is the irs. you have seen the challenges that the irs is fated with. >> we have not asked for any extensions, and when it comes to the personal financial disclosure statement. bernie has a one-day document.

>> this is the irs, when will you finish the audit. >> you have more power than i do, that's for certain, if you can get them to move. >> that is a fair question. he says once it is finished, he will release the returns. >> but the irs says an audit does not prevent you have releasing them. >> it could change or not change based on the irs findings does not make any sense. get them to finish the work. you can go get it done and -- >> can i ask you about a pledge that trump made publicly to support our veterans. he skipped a debate and said i would rather raise money for our veterans. he said it would be $6 million. you said it only netted $4.5 million. we reached out to the people who said they would pledge money, it is less than that. what is the current amount donated to veterans. >> it's not less than that. we said by memorial day, all of the money will be distributed.

he is donating $1 million through his personal accounts, and he is showing that $4.5 million have already been attributed. this was not an obligation he had. this is something he did to help the veterans -- >> but to clarify this matter and set it straight, will he release where he is giving that million dollars too? what organization? >> i will ask him to do that, but he took $1 million out of his account and gave it to veterans. >> where are you in terms of picking a vp candidate? >> one salesperson going to pick the candidate and his name is donald trump. >> he share itd it with you, corey -- >> who is on the short list? >> here is the --

>> we spoke to senator corker yesterday, they agreed on many issues moving forward on foreign policy -- >> are you vetting senator corker for a vice presidential possibility? >> here is what the decision comes down to. mr. trump will pick the person who is best to partner with him to get his legislative agenda through congress. >> but it will be someone from washington likely? he wants someone that knows government and has been in government? >> i think someone with federal elective experience so they can make sure they get his agenda done. reduces taxes, creating a better economy, renegotiating our bad trade deals. >> he want as political insider. >> it is already a nasty campaign -- >> aren't they all? >> but this seems to go to new

depths. will it go deeper in terms of personal character assassination regardless of who the candidate is? republican or democrat? >> this is clear since june 16th of last year. when someone attacked donald trump, he responds in kind, maybe times ten. he is authentic and genuine. like every other politician in the race. from the democrats to the republicans that attack him, he will not let these attacks pass. he will engage and engage harder than they're used to. and the american people want a fighter. someone that will assistant upd for us. that's what i think the american people want, and that is what donald trump brings. >> the last word at

steve martin is here. and guess what, that's his banjo. he brought it with him. we're going to talk with him about his new broadway musical that's been nominated for five tony awards. >> with his leading lady. >> steve martin ahead on "cbs this morning." when you've been making delicious natural cheese for over 100 years like kraft has, you learn a lot about people's tastes. honey, what do you want for dinner tonight? oh, whatever you're making. cheesy chipotle pork quesadillas? mmmm... ravioli lasagna bake? yeah, i don't know... grilled white chicken... grab something rich, sharp and creamy. triple cheddar stuffed sliders. sold! we aim to cheese! kraft natural cheese: we make cheese for how you love cheese. britta olsen is my patient. i spend long hours with her checking her heart rate, administering her medication, and just making her comfortable. one night britta told me about a tradition in denmark,

about a baby that had been thrown from a train in a suitcase and lived and was discovered. our play, musical, tells the story of what possibly could have happened after. >> so how did you find the lady on your left? >> carmen is a true discovery. she sent in a cd of an audition, and we didn't know even where it came from. i think from san diego or los angeles. >> l.a. just did it in my house. well, apartment in l.a. silver lake. >> were you auditioning for this role? >> whatever she did, it was right. >> i auditioned for the role. they threw me a couple scenes. one when she's 16 and one when she's 38. i just knew what exactly what i wanted to do quite immediately. i felt like i knew this character immediately. >> but carmen, he calls you the find of a lifetime. wow. >> it really is because this

process has been going on for four years. you first have a reading. we thought, she's good, let's hire her. but you don't know if someone is going to last and sustain for the next four years through every iteration of the musical. >> it was like a four-year audition. >> yeah. >> and you've been with it since the beginning, since the first reading. >> yes. >> so what was your impression of steve martin? >> oh, just incredibly -- >> difficult? >> yes. >> i'm here. watch it. >> i caught on very quickly that he's all about just doing good work. he seemed very open, very warm, and incredibly sensitive. he would watch every little movement in your face, and if you felt that a line wasn't working, he would pretty much immediately catch on just by a little quirk in my face or something. he would know. you're just incredibly sensitive that way. >> you've been playing the banjo since, what, 17, 18 years old? >> yeah. >> have you long wanted to create a musical on broadway? >> no.

this really came about because -- well, i did, actually. discussion with edie that we really liked the musicals we were raised on and how much they affected our lives in a positive way. we felt our songs that we write together are melodic. i don't want to say memorable in the sense that you can hum them fter you hear them. we just started doing it. >> what do you like about the banjo, steve? >> a lot of people have a bad view of the banjo. they think it's one thing. the banjo can be quite melancholy, as you can hear in the songs. it evokes something to americans, i feel, something they sense that's a part of them when they really hear it played in the way that, you know, i like to hear it. i mean, you know, there's the documentary about the civil war. they used a lot of banjo in that. it's very evocative.

>> is it a hard thing to do night after night after night, carmen? it's a very emotional play. it's funny, it's emotional, and it's also very sad at points. >> well, i find with some shows, you need to pace yourself. you need to kind of just know where your feeling is so you can get the next one out. with this, i have to let the ride just take me where it's going to take me. the more you fight it, the harder it is. so i just let it just stay present in the moment. bit end of it, i kind of feel revived because it's like after having a big cry and then all the sudden you start laughing at the end. i hope that's how the audience goes out. >> i read you say you connect with this role more than any other that you've played. why? >> well, the other role she played was a witch, wasn't it? >> you don't want to paint yourself green anymore like in "wicked." >> yeah, i connect with this role on a couple -- in a couple ways. my mother had me when she was 16. that was an issue that had to be dealt with.

she grew up in a very religious background, and there was a lot of, you know, discussion on what they should do with this unborn child. but here i am, and thank goodness. she went through this whole terrible situation at 16 years old. that's what i had to go through. >> and she's nominated for best actress. >> amazing. back when i was younger, it was a scandal. now they're having baby showers for people who are having babies at 16. >> steve, you define yourself more as a musician, comedian, writer, an actor? >> i would say writer/comedian. i still love doing comedy. i do a show with marty short. we tour around the country. we love to do that. just loving jokes and loving our rapport with each other. writing is the fundamental thing that feeds off everything. >> what a treat you were on sunday. think of this weekend for a second. saturday i went to -- friday the bad boy reunion and jay-z

surprised us on stage. sunday i'm sitting there and you come out and the audience literally gasps. you came out after intermission and just started playing. >> i play with the band at intermission, as often as i can. out of eight shows, i can do maybe five a week. >> wow. >> like i say, it's the biggest reward for the least work i've ever done. i play for two minutes, and i get a nice applause. >> more than nice applause. >> you play the banjo almost every day of your life? >> almost, i'd say, yeah. >> any movies coming up? >> yes, i did a movie with ang lee called "billy lynn's long halftime walk." i haven't seen any footage, but it's a drama and it's in 3d. ang lee had this whole theory about the audience participating in dramatic scenes because you're so -- when you see a close-up, my face is like this. >> did ang lee do "crouching tiger"? >> yes, he did. >> can we say bravo to edie

brickell? the two of you working together seems like such an effortless, joyous collaboration. >> she is fantastic. >> carmen, you have the most beautiful voice. >> thank you so much. it's fun singing this music. >> highly, highly recommended. i'd see it again. >> please do. >> we'll get you a ticket. >> thank you, steve. >> thank you very much. thanks for having us. >> congratulations on all the tony nominations.

[ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: alicia is not his first kid to graduate from boston college. far from it. in fact, all five of his kids have graduated from bc. which is one of the most prestigious universities in the country. and to think, all that remarkable success from this one humble beginning. >> i love being here. >> reporter: fred works overnights as a janitor at bc, and over the years, he's parlayed this relatively low-paying job into a gold mine. thanks to a university policy that says if you work here, your kids can go here for free, assuming they're accepted, which is not easy. and yet, back in '98, his oldest daughter amy became the first to get in. >> she broke down crying, and i broke down crying. we hugged each other, and

there's pictures of my house in that. this is the acceptance letter. >> reporter: he still keeps the letter on his wall. >> seeing that made it all worthwhile. >> reporter: it hangs here in the dining room, next to the one his son got a few years later, and his other son. in fact, today his house is pretty much wallpapered in boston college acceptance letters as each and every kid eventually got in. >> he really opened the opportunity for us. >> it was never a question of if we would go to college or not. we will go to college, and that's what he instilled in us. >> reporter: the kids say dad and mom didn't pressure them to succeed. they just set the expectation and provided the means. no matter what it took. >> you live for your kids so they can have a better life than i had. >> reporter: fred insists his kids are now all smarter than he is, but you have to wonder. over the past two decades, fred has taken boston college for nearly $700,000 worth of free

tuition, which makes him no dummy. [ cheers and applause ] i'm guessing his final daughter's graduation is a relief to the school. but not to fred, who says these college years flew by too fast. >> i was 44 at the time. now i'm 62. it's like, wow. you know? >> you glad it's over? >> no, no. no. >> reporter: when it comes to kids, watching them reach the top is definitely a reward. but fred says climbing the ladder with them is even better. even if you have to vacuum the steps along the way. for cbs this morning, i'm steve hartman in boston. >> i saw that show first friday, and to see it again, it's equally powerful. >> still chokes you up. tuition is $65,000 a year. imagine what he's done for his children. >> fred's been working since he

was 14 years old. he didn't get the chance to go to college himself. he's given them the greatest gift. >> what a testament to boston college. and to his kids. bravo. tomorrow on "cbs this morning," mark phillips takes us on a journey to an island far, far away. >> it's a place that looks like it's on the edge of the world, whose mystery has drawn visitors since the dawn of time and still does today. some have even come from outer space. after "star wars," will it ever be the same? tomorrow on "cbs this morning." ,

well, what an interesting morning. from donald trump's campaign manager to steve martin. >> and carmen. who's not related to the cusack family. >> so be suren for

scott pelley tonight. for news any time,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
