7:04 am
months that a federal judge has blocked one of president trump's immigration orders. this time blocking him from cutting aid to so-called sanctuary cities. in a series of tweets this morning, president trump called the california judge's decision, quote, ridiculous and vowed to take the fight to the supreme court. a federal judge in california ordered president trump to stop trying to cut aid to so-called sanctuary cities, calling the executive order likely unconstitutional. the white house hit back in a statement last night. saying the judge's ruling puts, quote, thousands of innocent lives at risk. and officials who wrote sanctuary city reforms like those in san francisco, quote, have the blood of dead americans on their hands. san francisco city attorney dennis herrera filed the lawsuit against the administration. >> this is why we have courts, to halt the overreach of a president and attorney general

7:06 am
united states. >> reporter: flanked boy a group of american farmers, the president explained his decision to slap a 24% tariff on softwood lumber entering the u.s. from canada, claiming its lumber subsidy is unfairly subsidized. >> everyone thinks canada is so wonderful, but they have outsmarted our politicians for many years. you people understand that. >> reporter: the administration will unveil its plan this afternoon to cut corporate taxes to 15% from the current 35%, and that will benefit businesses both large and small. but of course that means the government will be taking in less revenue. white house officials say they're still trying to figure out how to pay for that without adding to the deficit. charlie, we can expect that proposal by august. >> thanks, margaret. busy week at the white house. "cbs this morning" will bring you a special broadcast on monday live from inside the white house. it will feature john dickerson's interview with president trump, which will debut sunday on "face the nation." >> looking forward to that. the u.s. military moved key

parts of a controversial missile defense system into position overnight in south korea. police held back protesters lining a roadway as trucks brought in the defense system anthony as thaad. the accelerated deployment comes as north korea released the first pictures which show the massive artillery drills. adriana diaz is in beijing. adriana, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. thaad has become one of the most controversial issues in the region, and its early deployment today took south koreans by surprise. hundreds gathered before dawn throwing water bottles at the military trailers carrying sections of the missile defense system. at least ten were reportedly injured during clashes with police. the south korean government believes thaad is a necessary defense against an increasingly aggressive north korea. that aggression was on display again tuesday, as kim jong-un presided over what north korea claims was its largest live fire drill ever. despite fearing more missile

tests from pyongyang, beijing strongly opposes thaad fearing it could spy on china and called again today for thaad's removal. >> adriana diaz in beijing, thanks. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with how every u.s. senator is invited to the white house today for a special briefing on the north korean threat. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and that is an unusual venue. normally these briefings take place here at the capitol, but senators say they're very eager to learn more about what they see as a grim and escalating threat. >> obviously an assessment of what could be the greatest threat that we've faced since the cuban missile crisis, i think it's very helpful to hear from the president of the united states. >> reporter: the nation's top military and diplomatic officials will update senators at the white house this afternoon. president trump himself plans to drop by after issuing this blunt assessment during a meeting with ambassador nikki haley on monday. >> this is a real threat to the
7:09 am
world. whether we want to talk about it or not, north korea is a big world problem. >> reporter: senators typically meet with briefers in a secure room in the basement of the u.s. capitol, not an unsecured auditorium at the white house. >> why do you think the white house wants to do it there? >> i don't know. but since it's the first time the president has invited the entire senate over, i think we should go and hear what he has to say. >> reporter: south carolina republican lindsey graham argued the white house setting sends an important message. >> i think going to the commander in chief's house is the right place for congress to be, and i hope the world is watching that we're going to his house and going to listen to his concerns. >> reporter: senators graham and mccain had dinner with the president earlier this week. they say it doesn't appear he's made up his mind yet about whether to use force. those same military briefers will be coming here to the capitol later today, charlie, to fill in all 435 members of the house of representatives as well. >> thanks, nancy. two members of congress say
7:10 am
president trump's former national security advisor, michael flynn, may have broken the law. they say the retired army general did not properly reveal that he was paid by a tv network tied to the kremlin. the ranking democrat spoke out after reviewing classified documents. jeff pegues is on capitol hill with the newest trouble for flynn. gentlemen, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is another stunning development for someone who was the president's top national security official. michael flynn is facing legal problems on several fronts connected to russia. but in this case, if it is found that he broke the law, that is a felony and he could get up to five years behind bars. >> as a former military officer, you simply cannot take money from russia, turkey or anybody else. >> reporter: the leaders of the house oversight committee said yesterday that the president's former national security advisor should have disclosed a payment he received from russian-backed media company rt.
7:11 am
>> there is also no evidence that he sought permission to obtain these funds from a foreign source. >> reporter: in late 2015, retired lieutenant general michael flynn received a nearly $34,000 payment for a speech he gave in moscow. during the trip, he was photographed at an event sitting right next to russian president vladimir putin. according to the law, flynn, who was the head of the defense intelligence agency during the obama administration, should have sought approval from the secretary of state and secretary of the army to make the trip. in a statement, flynn's attorney denied the allegations, saying his client briefed the agency extensively both before and after the trip. the oversight committee has requested more information from the white house about what the administration knew about flynn's contacts with foreign governments. ranking member elijah cummings accused white house officials of stonewalling the investigation,
7:12 am
point to this letter in which they refused to comply, saying the activities and payments predate flynn's white house service. press secretary sean spicer drew a hard line. >> right now to ask the white house to produce documents that were not in the possession of the white house is un -- is ridiculous. >> reporter: flynn is one of several trump campaign representatives under scrutiny by the fbi, which is looking into whether trump campaign officials were coordinating with the russians during the 2016 election. there are also two congressional panels looking into the matter as well. norah. >> all right, jeff, thank you so much. deadly storms dumped more than 8 inches of rain on the city of raleigh, the capital of north carolina. swollen rivers caused some of the worst flooding since hurricane matthew. new flood warnings are in effect across the state. tony is in clayton just outside raleigh in a hard-hit area along the neuse river. tony, good morning. >> reporter: good morning.
7:13 am
signs like these are all over the region this morning as the water of the neuse river crested overnight cutting off schools and communities. police are also investigating after the fast-moving water turned up a body. torrential rain across central north carolina sent creeks over their banks triggering major flooding across the region. water surrounded entire neighborhoods and rescuers had to use rafts to help people and pets get to safety. >> i got ready for work and got out and they called and said we had to evacuate. >> reporter: dozens of roads quickly became impassable. those who risked navigating the flooded streets became stranded. >> i see an incredible sight. it really is terrifying, the power of something like that. >> here's our local school bus going across a washed-out road. >> reporter: a school bus driver was fired after driving through a flooded road closed to traffic. front lawns and backyards across
7:14 am
the carolinas were submerged, leaving some homeowners feeling helpless. >> never seen it like that before. i think a lot of water just converges all in one place at one time and there's no place for it to go here. >> reporter: some residents are dismayed by these latest floods. they say they're still fixing all the damage left by hurricane matthew just six months ago. >> just overwhelming. it's home and there's nothing we can do about it. i mean just hope for the best and pray. >> reporter: and here in clayton, they have had 9 inches of rain in april. that makes this the wettest april on record. as you can see, the water is actually receding, the rain is gone, but all of it is heading down river. forecasters say the water won't crest there until monday. alex. >> tony, thanks. fox news faces growing legal troubles just a week after firing star anchor bill o'reilly. 11 current and former employees filed a class action lawsuit. they claim 21st century fox, fox
7:15 am
news, executive vice president diane brandi and former comp troller judith slater subjected minorities in the company to, quote, abhorrent, intolerable, unlawful and hostile racial discrimination. >> this suit expands on a discrimination suit filed by two plaintiffs last month. it's one of two filed against the company yesterday. in a statement to cbs news, fox news says the company and diane brandi, quote, vehemently deny the race discrimination claims in both lawsuits. they are copycat complaints of the original one filed last month. we will vigorously defend these cases. cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman is here. good morning. >> good morning. >> your assessment of these suits? >> i think that when you read these suits, particularly the one filed in the state court, you actually get a pain to your gut. the allegations, and we must remember they're allegations, show a systemic, pervasive problem in fox news culture.
7:16 am
we have been thinking of it as the powers that be. first there was roger ailes. he gets ousted. that domino falls. it moves us to bill o'reilly. that domino falls. but we're dealing with sex. so it never dawned on us that we might also be dealing with race. so crisis creates opportunity. you got rid of two of the biggest powers there. and you had first there were two. and then there were seven and then there were nine and now there's 11 people in a class action. this class action has incredible potential to really hurt fox news bottom line. >> why so? >> well, when you look at the amount of money involved, you're here in new york state and new york city, which have some of the toughest anti-discrimination laws. no caps. punitive damages. a very, very simple burden of proof. a good faith belief. >> what are the allegations? >> the allegations are that there was a woman named judith
7:17 am
slater. she's the comptroller. she is the witch, as she is portrayed, of fox news in accounting and payroll. so what judith slater allegedly did for years and years was subject people of color, black people, people who had dark skin, to insults, there were things that were said that actually turn your stomach. she even got to the point where she would have, allegedly, black people wrestle, arm wrestle as if a sport back in the jim crow days. so what you've got is a misunderstanding of how -- >> arm wrestle white female supervisors for entertainment. >> correct, entertainment. let's applaud and see who is the strong person, the black or the white. you also, and i can't resist it, there is one plaintiff who talks about the fact that she had breast cancer and she is demeaned about the size of her breasts. and when you read those
7:18 am
allegations, you just go this can't possibly have existed, but yet they say it did. >> rikki, when we talk about judith slater, the comptroller, she was fired earlier this year. her attorney called the lawsuits meritless and frivolous and said all claims of racial discrimination against miss slater are completely false. is it meaningful that her employment at fox was terminated? >> of course. and it's meaningful for both sides. fox is going to say, hey, look, we just found out. as soon as we found out, we got rid of the wrong doer, we got rid of judith slater. plaintiffs will say, hey, wait a minute, this is the tip of the iceberg. it wasn't just judith slater. when we complained, we were put down, it was all covered up. we were not allowed to go up the chain. >> rikki klieman, good to have you here, thank you. pope francis spoke about the need for unity during a surprise ted talk. the pope urged solidarity to overcome a culture of waste. he said the furture is not just in the hands of politicians and
