processes to examine the facts and come to a conclusion. >> reporter: spicer was asked if the president was the target of a counterintelligence investigation, the kind that might justify a wiretap warrant? >> i think that's what we need to find out. there is obviously a lot of concern. >> reporter: near the end of the briefing, spicer was handed a piece of paper. he then tried to clarify his remarks. i want to be really clear on one point which is there is no reason that we should -- that we have to think that the president is the target of any investigation whatsoever. >> reporter: there is one thing the white house is certain about. it wants the republican-led congress to investigate. south carolina republican senator lindsey graham and rhode island democratic senator sheldon whitehouse wrote comey on wednesday asking for copies of court orders related to wiretaps of president trump, the trump campaign. >> if there was a warrant, i need to understand why one was issued.

to be sensitive cia data. an investigation is under way, and among the pressing questions, whether someone working for the cia handed the data to the anti-secrecy group and why wikileaks published the information on tuesday. intelligence sources pointed to other wikileaks disclosures over the last eight months and note they usually appear to be timed to coincide with certain events. in a statement, the cia said the disclosures were designed to damage the intelligence community's ability to protect america against terrorists and that they jeopardize u.s. personnel and operations. the wikileaks disclosures breach in the intelligence community. so far investigators have not ruled out the possible involvement of a state actor in some way. earlier this year u.s. intelligence agencies assessed with high confidence that wikileaks conspired with the russian government to release damaging democratic party e-mails. anthony? >> jeff pegues, thanks. hawaii is the first state to

. >> the man threatened take someone behind the wood shed. he was removed from the jet but not charged. >> that's when you sort of say, i'll pay for the project. $12. it's a little steep, though. we are talking blanket pricing. >> that is a good point. in other news, two jewish community lead, say they're frustrated more progress hasn't been made to stop waves of bomb threats against jewish centers. the jcc of north america says more than 100 phone or e-mail threats have been received in 30 states since january, including new york. john miller is deputy commissioner of counter-terrorism at the nypd. john, good morning. >> good morning. >> so does law enforcement have a sense of who might be behind these threats? are they coordinated? >> well, they're certainly coordinated. we have what appears to be one offender behind a large number of these. then we have had kind of copycats. you will note there was an

arrest in st. louis last week, the nypd's intelligence division actually supplied a key lead in. because there is a character that we had seen in an earlier case some time ago. so what you have is you have the person behind the main number of these and the copycats. the person behind the main number is first of all your typical bomb scareer, this person is a typical coward. they hide behind the shadows. they work from a distance and their goal is to instill fear. and doing that behind the shadows shows that they're not willing to come out and confront whatever the issue is. they want people to jump through their hoops. this guy is using technology. he's using a voice changer that makes him sound like a fe maim. he is using voip technology on the phone. using phone spoofing. sometimes to make it appear that not only is the call not coming from the number he is using, but

coming from a number within the location that he's threatening. so we have an offender with some technical prowess here. >> what do you had advise jewish centers to do if they get a call like this? >> anthony, we have been in conversation in new york. what we talked about is a measure of response, remember our offender characteristics. this person actually wants to instill fear. but it also wants to cause disruption. so the measured response is rather than evaluating the whole building of the first call, which fits all of the elements of the pattern, do a perimeter search with the police, do an superior search with the police and/or explosive detection k-9. if nothing is found, don't give the payoff to the threat. >> that is quit obviously a threat. >> john, how do you tell the difference between someone who legitimately wants to do harm and someone who is pulling a prank to create chaos?

>> well, most of the time the person who is legitimately trying to do harm doesn't calm ahead to diminish the amount of harm that he or she is doing, most of the time. but that's a -- that's more a guideline than it is a rule. so you have to hasn't him those things seriously. on the other hand, when you have a defined pattern with the defined characteristics and a large number of these fake calls, then you get into territory where you know exactly what is going on in all likelihood and while you need to respond to it by checking it out, you may not need to use the full-on response that is going to deliver the type of disruption that keeps this person going. >> but you are confident, they're going to catch this guy? >> everything that this individual does, every technological piece that they add in to avoid detection, is going to leave a different kind of fingerprint that when this person is identified and the fbi is running this case, because it's a national threat that are going to help identify this

person. >> there is coordination across state lines on this? >> so what have you is a case that started in the tampa field of the fbi. they're the office of origin, as it spreads throughout the country, leads all come into that central investigation, the headquarters, hate crimes division within the civil rights division, who is running the big picture of this and police departments like new york citys are working their own investigations and coordinating those with the fbi. so there is a lot of people working on this day and night. >> that's good. that's very good to hear. you are the deputy commissioner of nypd. while we have you here we want to ask you about one other thing. protecting donald trump has cost $25 million. is the nypd, i know, want the federal government to reimburse nypd for those costs? >> we certainly do. a letter recently went from the police commission tore all the members of the new york delegation. you know, norah, what this is, is we have an obligation to protect not just the president

of the united states while he's in new york. but also all the residents of trump tower, both when he is here and not here. this is basically an unfunded federal mandate. you know, it's not like the federal government -- >> how much does it cost per year, hundreds of millions? >> if you talk about the 25 million that was before the election, how much it will cost every year is going to depend largely on how often he comes here. so far he hasn't been here as much as people thought he would. but put that aside, trump tower where his family lives, it's his known residence and now because of his name becomes a symbolic target when he's not there. >> that means not just the residents of trump tower, but everything around it becomes a mart of that protection package. >> that all counts the city shouldn't have to pay for that from its taxpayers for walk. it's not like the u.s. government said, just do this, if you guys can fit it in. they said, we need this protection. we're running up a big bill for

new yorkers. >> john miller, deputy commissioner, thank you for your time, sir. a growing number of americans are being targeted by imposter scams, how one criminal used jury duty to try to convince him to pay hundreds of dollars. what red flags we should watch out for? later how stroke victims are getting much faster treatment in a new type of balance where every second counts. you are watching "cbs this morning".

immediately to the sheriffs department to pay up or face a warrant for his arrest. the only form of payment accepted, cash or a pre paid card called green dot. >> it was all in the guise of giving me a lot of information. he even said, do you have a pen or a paper, you might want to write this down. tapper used his cell phone to call the local sheriffs department. >> the first thing i said was, is there a sergeant wade marshall? and i barely bought the the words out when the real sheriffs department says, no, it's a him ska, hang up. law enforcement would never make such a request. >> the director says it's a growing problem nation wide. the agency recently warned consumers about these slick scammers. >> these scammers are extroomly well versed in the judicial process. they have frequently used real judge's names, real names of u.s. marshall service employees.

these contacts over the phone. most of the people who are affected by this complaining are 50, age 50 or older. >> it's scary. >> your grandmother, your aunt. so the key is, well, sends me something in the mail and hang up. >> and hang up. >> there you go, thank you, anna. ahead, we will talk with house majority leader kevin mccarthy about powerful opponents to the republican-held plan. doctors, hospitals, nurses and insurers and up next, a florida couple cruiseship to their home. the dog --,,,,

on the republican replacement for obamacare. foot dragging by democrats kept two house committees in session throughout the night. some members struggles to stay awake. ways and means committee did approve a key provision at 4:30 a.m. eastern time. >> democrats and some republicans criticized the blue and influential medical and lobbying groups are lining up against it including aarp with nearly 38 million members. house speaker paul ryan said the plan delivers on a long-standing promise to repeal obamacare. house majority leader kevin mccarthy is working with speaker ryan to sell the plan to his fellow republicans, and he's with us now from capitol hill. congressman, good morning. >> good morning, how are you? >> i'm good. you were not up all night, were you? >> no, i'm not on energy or commerce or ways and means, but energy and commerce is still going as we speak. >> we showed a live shot of them earlier work, through the night. let me ask you this.

now that you have about every major influential group against this, the doctors, hospitals, nurses, aarp, are you confident this can get through congress before april 7th when congress goes on recess? >> yes, very confident. remember, this is one of three phases to repeal and replace obamacare. this is the first phase going through. you have to think about why are we currently where we are and why are we repealing it. remember what obamacare did? three essential things. gave greater krog of health care to the federal government. it was the exchanges. then it was the expansion of medicaid. when you look at the exchanges today, one-third of the county in america there's one provider. humana pulled out, 16 counties in tennessee have no provider. medicaid is on a path of destruction. social security going to cost $1 trillion within the next ten years for one year, and that's the equivalent of how much we spend on discretionary spending

for all of government. you can't let it go forward. it's going to collapse upon itself. we have to solve the problem. this is the first phase, and it's going to reason silluation, which makes it with the senate rules for difficult, but the second phase is with tom price and health and human service secretary, and third phase moves at the same time, the bills that take 60 volts, and overall, you'll have a very good bill that solves the problem that lowers premium price and greater quality to health care. >> congressman, the hospital association that nora mentioned are warning this will result in a substantial reduction in the number of americans who are covered. do you disagree with that? >> yes, i disagree with that. if you want to sit back and say the argument that the federal government is going to mandate everyone gets covered, look what's taken place today. if people can't get care, obamacare created 23 coops, providing $23 billion. in a short time, 18 collapsed.

if you have 16 counties in tennessee that don't even provide any coverage at all, how can that provide coverage to them? then you look at what the providers are actually saying. they are calling it a death spiral when it comes to obamacare. we can't sit back and see people go without health care. we have a system to lower the price and bring greater quality. >> congressman, this is happening remarkably fast. your colleague in the senate, tom cotton, tweeted guidance to you this morning saying, house healthcare bill can't pass without major changes. to my friends in the house, pause, start over, get it right, don't get it fast. will you heed that advice? >> we have heeded the advice. we have spent the last six years studying the obamacare failures of it. we have sat back and watched this thing get collapsed. what we are doing is keeping the promise of what we said we'd do. repeal obamacare and replace it. unfortunately, we have to do it in three phase, and-under-par the rules of the senate, it does not allow us to give a full

replacement and one simple vote, so that's the reason why we're going through three phases. we're going through regular order, as you watch through committee. through energy and commerce. through ways and means, and then it goes next week to budget then come to the floor. this is the way legislation is produced in america. this is the way, one, we keep the promise to lower the price of health care. >> i know that president trump is taking an active role in lobbying some of the more conservative members of the caucus who oppose this, particularly the tax credit, who they call an additional entitlement, bringing some of them to bullying tonight at the white house. is that going to work? >> president trump supports the bill because he understands it lowers price. more importantly, tax credit is a conservative idea. look at what heritage said in 2007, tax credit is the way to provide greater health care in the process. i believe when people sit and read the bill and understand this is phase one in a process, you're going to find much more support as we go through.

>> all right, congressman, thank you. >> thank you for having me. the fooib is investigating the source of the leak of apparent cia cyber espionage secrets. wikileaks revealed tools to break into computers, smart tvs, smart phones issue and cars. u.s. officials noticed suspicious activity well before the wikileaks release. former cia director panetta said the leak harms intelligence gathering efforts abroad. >> it's a very serious damage that's been done to the ability of our intelligence agencies like the cia. to be able to use their methods, use to go after terrorists and potential terrorists to try to make sure we know where the threats are coming from, and they are beginning to have to reinvent other tools to be able to gather that kind of important

intellignce. >> the cia has not confirmed the authenticity of the files. the white house does not believe president trump is under any investigation after he claimed former president obama ordered wiretaps on his campaign office. the fbi is already investigating whether trump campaign officials had contracts with russia. we asked white house press secretary sean spicer how far that investigation goes. >> sean, is the president the target of a counterintelligence investigation? >> that's what we have to find out. the president made clear he has no interest in russia, and yet stories coming out with respect to that are, frankly, fake. >> do you know whether he is -- >> no, but i think that's -- one of the issues we've asked the senate house to look into -- >> are you saying there's a possibility that he is the target of a counterintelligence probe involving -- >> i don't -- what i'm saying there's a difference between that narrative and then the narrative

perpetuated over and over again. the concern that the president has and why he asked the house an senate committees to look into this is to get to the bottom of what may or may not have occurred in the 2016 election. >> minutes later, spicer was handed a slip of paper and revised what he had said. >> i just want to be really clear on one point, which is there is no reason that we should -- that we have to think that the president is the target of any investigation whatsoever. >> two senators asked the justice department for copies of any warrant, applications, or court orders for wife taps of the president or his exam pain. >> important to make that clarification. >> indeed, it is. >> every second is critical for victims of a stroke, and ahead, how patients with can see the doctor and start treatments before reaching the hospital thanks to a new high-tech ,,,,

year to operate. but consider this, the cdc says strokes cost an estimated $33 billion each year for rehab, treatments and missed days of work. >> absolutely worth it. so what's the time frame you need to get someone medication? >> time is critical. these drugs the window is four-and-a-half hours from symptom onset to being able to use them t. golden hour, meaning the first hour of symptoms is the best time. because have you the best chance at functional recovery and a better prognosis. >> what are the symptoms, how do you know when there is a stroke occurring? >> if you were to feel you couldn't feel one side of your body, you couldn't move one side of your body, you can't speak or understand launk. you are having trouble seeing, a quicking acronym others can remember is fast. if you can smile for me, if they can't move one side of their face, that is concerning, ask them to lift their arm up. the s stands for speech. ask them to repeat the sky is blue, if they can't repeat the

tremendous. the new york location is not only 100% fuel with a waiting list larger than the amount of people inside. we have locations under construction all over the world. it takes longer for people to live. we are more committed than ever before. it's ramping up not only the speed that we want, but the quality that we are looking for. because when you go into a person's apartment, you will be very sensitive, even more than in the work place towards their privacy, towards all the things that make a home such an important place for all of us. >> it's a brave new world, adam newman, thanks, for your time. >> thank you for having me. a top shoe designer's quest to own the world's most valuable stamp begins with, wait for it, donald duck. ahead, how a comic book launched a journey for a rare piece of paper,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

magenta was printed in the british colonies more than 100 years ago. the author and "new york times" reporter james baird said it was all but forgotten until a 12-year-old boy discovered a stamp in his uncles basement in 1873. why care about a stamp? >> it's history. it's a way of seeing how the world was connected. it's a way of thinking about how people are connected. >> reporter: the stamp has also connected a handful of people who have spent fortunes to own it, including an american chemical company air and now renowned stuart weitzman, it was 1952, he was ten-years-old when he learned about this stamp from none other than donald duck. in a comic book which also is at the smithsonian, donald duck launches one of his schemes to get rich quick the hunt for the one cent magenta.

this stamp according to him, as his get out of jail free card. >> one of the things he thought was if some museum could put in a good word, could arrange a pard were, he'd let that museum have it. >> but that was a non-starter? he wasn't going to get out of ja ill with this stamp? >> no, no, it didn't happen. >> reporter: instead, in 2014, it went to auction. and weitzman who later would sell his shoe empire to coach for half a billion bought it so the world can see this 21 of a kind treasure. but first he had to get it to thesmithsonian. you know how i brought it to washington? >> why? >> many my sock. some people keep it to their wrist. >> did you watch "mission impossible"? >> yes i dressed up like a

having aabonds i didn't shave for two days. >> how to be more conspicuous, put the stamp in your sock? $9.5 million. >> that little piece of paper in your sock. that's how you got it to the museum? >> yep. >> it's been described as the ugliest stamp an expert has seen $9.5 million you paid for it. >> i would like to see what art he appreciates. >> it's not about how it looks? >> no, it shouldn't even be judged that way. so his attention is on the wrong characteristic of that stamp. it is one of a kind. what else could it be in it was hidden for 150 years. >> shrouded in secrecy. this smithson yan exhibit is the publicly accessible the one cent magenta has been. this transcends stamp checking for stuart weitzman, he likes this cognac signed by the 1941

yankees. >> the only signed pair of shoes in baseball history. >> reporter: who's shoes were these? >> the girlfriends o jodi imageio, the only thing exciting if he had taken marlin monroe's shoe to be signed. >> and there is his childhood stamp album. >> i said this to anybody that asked me about, what was the one thing i got out of my childhood, toy, games and sports or hawks. i learned history from this book. >> reporter: his childhood quest, some 60 years in the making is now complete. now the one cent magginta will be here until november and then stuart wezman has to decide what to do with it. if you come and see the one cent magenta you can make a personalized stamp of your own. i say it probably won't be worth quite as much. >> yeah, thanks. well, if you have a story

with donald duck, stuart weitzman and john dupont, unbelievable. >> so many layers, it kept going, it's great. >> i have no idea where my stamp collection is. >> it might be worth finding. a skier recorded tracked down a mountain with a selfi stick gets caught in an avalanche, ahead how he managed to escape. are you watching "cbs this morning.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
