should deny hillary clinton access to classified information during this campaign given how she so recklessly handled classified information. >> reporter: director comey himself a republican who spent years as a federal prosecutor, can expect a grilling on capitol hill today from house oversight committee jason chavitz. calling it surprising and confusing. >> we want to know why they're not going to prosecute. everything he said would lead to you believe she did violate the law. >> reporter: but the window of prosecution slammed shut wednesday, whenloretta lynch closing the case. no charges will be brought against any individual within the scope of the investigation. that isn't stopping gop leadership, who want clinton's interview with the fbi made public to show the many inconsistency inconsistency. >> there is no penalty for lying

7:12 am
kidding. >> reporter: instead of sfagtaying focused on hillary clinton, he spoke about his own controversies in ohio. >> it is a star. have you all seen this. it is a star. >> reporter: it is a star. this one. on a trump tweet swiftly deleted. the anti-defamation league called it anti-semitic. paul ryan and ben carson trump endorsers, called it out of bounds, and trump called the critics racist. >> actually they're racially profiling. not us. why are they bringing this us. why do they bring it up. >> reporter: trump kept up his attacks on twitter, comparing the original tweet to one on the cover of a disney sticker book. a writer for the new york observer owned by trump's jewish son-in-law, jared kushner, wrote an open letter condemning what she called trump's anti-semitism, writing this hate is directed to one of your employees. kushner responded with an op-ed yesterday, proclaiming, my

7:14 am
consideration. >> executive producer of "the circus" on show time. the vp talk, let's start with that. newt gingrich's name has been thrown around. >> lots of names have been thrown about. the trump vp process is like all vp processes, kind of cloaked to secrecy, but trump is doing something unusual, but he is basically taking people out for a spin. >> like the apprentice. >> no one knows how many of these things are head faints how many are real but the weird thing is that the short list keeps getting longer. trump yesterday said he has a dozen people on the short list, including a couple of generals. god knows where we'll end up. >> is that because are people withdrawing because they're withdrawing on your own or trump said you're not going to get it. >> who knows within the hearts of man like bob corker. i think in corker's case he is actually more interested in being secretary of defense or secretary of state. but you know there is a
7:15 am
complicated thing going on with donald trump and the republican party right now. >> john, you and i were talking a few minutes ago. the big story today, comey, his testimony on capitol hill. >> right. >> what is going to happen here? i mean house republicans are fired up. >> well you have really fascinating thing that happened right, the other day when comey came out and said i'm not going to indict hillary clinton but i'll criticize her. he gave the republican party and donald trump a huge political opportunity. and there is no one in the republican party who does not think donald trump has screwed this up, comprehensive below they watched him last night, not talking about hillary clinton. no knows. he seems to be incapable. the republican congressional leadership has taken up what they see as the job of the party. we're going to capitalize on this politically. they're holding a snap hearing.
7:16 am
an oversight hearing normally takes months. this was called 24 hours after his decision he is up on the hill fastest congress has moved on. if they do this hearing well and i mean politically well they could keep this issue alive in a way that hillary clinton would not be happy about. because comey raised a lot of important questions that could be damaging to her. i they screw it up it is all over. the track record of republicans going after hillary clinton on chill capitol hill good. >> she is has not personally addressed these findings. >> she has not. >> what do you make of that? >> does she need to? >> i think impossible. she has to give an interview between now and the democratic convention. she'll sit down with a journalist somewhere. she hasn't done a press conference in months and months which i think is kind of appalling that she has gone this long without a formal press conference. at some point, she'll have to sit down and take questions. yesterday, some people suggested, well she'll talk about it in the presidential
7:17 am
debates. that's way down the line. she is going to have to take those questions. for now, she wants to get past it, but she'll have to take the questions eventually. >> john heilleman. hoverboards being recalled dozens have burst into flames. the new recall affects ten companies that make or sell hoverboards. chris van cleaves is at the cpsc national product testing in rockville, maryland. >> reporter: good morning. this is a hoverboard that caught fire in the field. this is where the battery pack would be. everything around is it burned. the point of concern with these are the battery packs. basically it is a collection of lithium lithium ion batteries. those fires can be very intense. keep in mind the battery pack sits here, you could be standing right here.

good morning to our viewers in the west. it is thursday july 7th 2016. welcome back to "cbs this morning." for real news including the second killing of a black man captured on video in two days. first, here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> lavesha reynolds the woman on the passenger seat live streamed as her boyfriend was dying next to her. >> the two officers involved in the death told investigators they believe their actions were justified. >> he outlined a case against clinton, but then he said no reasonable prosecutor would bring it. we're demanding to know why not. >> donald trump spent about half of his speech in ohio bashing
8:01 am
hillary clinton, and the other half on controversies of his own making. >> what's going to happen here? house republicans are fired up. >> he seems to be incapable of maintaining any kind of message discipline. >> this is a hoverboard that caught fire in the field. this is where the battery pack would be. everybody around it is burned. >> bold accusations against the media mogul came just two weeks after her last day at fox news. but she immediately fired back saying her accusations were false. >> did you know a satellite probe, which hasn't been heard from in five years, and has been traveling through deep space, finally reached jupiter and reestablished contact with earth. yeah, the satellite's first message was, the republican nominee is who?

8:03 am
sterling. hundreds gathered last night in baton rouge to protest and mourn his death. now we do want to warn you, once again, that this new video is graphic. it appears to show sterling pinned by two officers. he is then shot multiple times in the chest and back. the 37-year-old died at the scene. sterling's 15-year-old son broke down yesterday as his mother spoke to reporters. >> the individuals involved in his murder took away a man with children, who depended upon their daddy on a daily basis. my son is not the youngest. he is the oldest of his siblings. he is 15 years old. he had to watch this as this was put all over the outlets.
8:04 am
>> now police say sterling was armed. a baton rouge official says the officers involved believed the shooting was justified. no criminal charges have been filed, but the justice department is investigating. >> in a statement reacting to sterling's death hillary clinton said "something is profoundly wrong when so many americans have reason to believe that our country doesn't consider them as precious as others because of the color of their skin." clinton also said we need to learn from officers all over the country who protect the public without unnecessary force. bernie sanders could finally be ready to endorse clinton. a source close to the discussion tells cbs news sanders and clinton may hold a joint event on tuesday in new hampshire. but in a sign they already are moving together sanders endorsed clinton's new college tuition proposal. part of that plan provides four years of free tuition at in-state public colleges and universities for families that earn up to $125,000. tuition-free college was a cornerstone of the sanders
8:05 am
agenda. clinton was in favor of debt-free college, but not tuition-free. and she questioned the sanders plan. >> i also believe in affordable college. but i don't believe in free college. because every expert that i have talked to says look how will you ever control the cost? what i want to do is make sure middle class kids not donald trump's kids get to be able to afford college. >> clinton's new proposal also offers all students a three-month moratorium on paying federal student loans. republicans on capitol hill want to know why the presumptive democratic nominee is legally off the hook for her use of private e-mail servers. attorney general loretta lynch confirmed clinton will not be charged for mishandling classified information. the house oversight committee is asking fbi director james comey this morning why he strongly criticized the former secretary of state, and then recommended no prosecution. >> donald trump bombarded clinton over her e-mails last night, but he spent just as much
8:06 am
time rejecting anti-semitism charges for his tweet showing clinton and what is a six-pointed star. >> when they told me the star of david, i said you've got to be kidding. how sick are they? actually, they're the ones with the bad tendencies when they can think that way. they're the ones. they said -- remember what i said. but there's money around the stars. and therefore, you know what that respects. these are sick people. they're bad people. >> trump tweeted yesterday, "where's the outrage for this disney book? is this the star of david also dishonest yesterday." clinton replayed do you want to build a strawman. >> peggy noonan joins us here at the table. welcome back. >> hello. >> good morning. >> is trump missing an opportunity here focusing on this star issue rather than pointing out what happened with the fbi, not recommending charges against clinton? >> i think he probably misses an opportunity by not running a tighter ship.
8:07 am
he shows up he speaks for, i don't know, is it an hour and a half now he's getting to fidel castro lengths? he's sort of abstract. you never know where he's going. you would think after mrs. clinton had such a bad day with jim comey and the fbi that he would focus on that and hammer hammer, hammer. instead, he sort of gets more diffuse. but i think what you just saw there with mr. trump was something that he does that has a power that we don't notice, and that's he tells his audiences how he is experiencing things. how he thinks about things. >> why does it matter? >> it means there's less of a scrim between him and the audience members. they hear him say, this is my interior world. this is what i'm thinking about. this is what i think is really important at this moment. and there's something sort of maybe almost intimate about it. whereas mrs. clinton, on the other hand does not share her
8:08 am
interior world and doesn't give you how she's experiencing things. >> so the question peggy, for all the people who say he misses all these opportunities and that the ship isn't being run very tight. that doesn't seem to be reflect reflected in the polls. >> you know, the polls are tighter than you might expect at this point with trump having had a bad maybe six or eight weeks, and mrs. clinton up until the past week, having glided along, having won her party's nomination. i think that tells you there is quiet trump support out there, that may in the end be surprising. >> but he keeps having his vp short list get longer because people keep dropping out. >> yeah. >> there's like this weird accordion thing happening. >> yeah, he's doing a funny thing with his vice presidential possibles, which is his campaign seems to be telling the media who they're considering, and then some people drop out, which doesn't look good. you should always be discreet about vice presidential
8:09 am
possibles. sort of keep a little bit to yourself. not parade them out there. it's an unusual way to proceed. somebody said it's a little bit like the"the apprentice" are. er er. >> it's an unusual year. >> it's indirection and surprise. >> what do republicans gain by putting director comey on the hill? what do they gain from this? >> that is such a great question. part of is it they can't let it go. it's interesting that they asked him, will you come to congress? and he said sure how about thursday? that's interesting. maybe he wants to talk a little bit, too. what can they get? comey made his indictment the other today. he said this is the evidence we have. and we are not going to go forward and recommend any sort of prosecution. i think the obvious question for today comey is why?
8:10 am
why would no reasonable prosecutor go forward on this case when there seems to be so much evidence? so i think how he thinks may come up in a big way today. >> it's going to be fascinating. peggy noonan thanks so much for being with us. >> thank you guys. new research shows how popular sunscreen brands could be missing the mark. ahead, we'll look at whether you're paying too much and not getting the protection you need this summer. a top derma
