>> this morning's eyeopener is spren presented by toyota. let's go places. >> welcome to cbs this morning. the white house is dealing with yet another crisis this morning. officials are denying what may be most serious allegation against president trump since he took office. fired fbi director james comey says the president tried to convince him to end the investigation of former national security advisors michael flynn. >> the story was first reported by "the new york times" and confirmed by cbs news. he wrote a memo ban oval office meeting with the president. this was the day after general flynn was forced to resign. we have a reporter outside fbi headquarters in washington. jeff, good morning. >> good morning. the comey memos are the latest bombshell in this still unfolding story. the former fbi director was known for taking detailed notes of meetings but these comey memos allegedly show a pattern

and raise additional questions about whether the president was trying to interfere in the russian investigation and why. >> reporter: former fbi director james comey's memo details the february 14th meeting when alone in the oval office with president trump. comey says he was asked to drop the bureau's investigation into former national security adviser michael flynn. i hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting flynn go, the president allegedly said. he is a good guy. i hope you can let this go. comey agreed flynn is a good guy. a day earlier, flynn had resigned as national security adviser after revealed he misled the vice president about his contacts with russian ambassador. those contacts are now part of the fbi's counter intelligence investigation. the white house said the president has never asked mr. comey or anyone else to end any investigation. this was not the only private

encounter between the two men. according to sources close to the former director on january 27 27th at a white house dinner, the president asked comey if he would pledge his loyalty. comey declined and instead telling the president he would always be honest. the president also denied that account. >> he's a showboat. he's a grand stander. >> reporter: after director comey was fired last week, a senior fbi official told cbs news they had never seen this level interfeerrence from the white house. >> i said, you know, this russia thing with trump and russia is a made up story. >> reporter: president trump also denied his administration applied pressure to the fbi. >> did anyone from the white house ask him to end the investigation? >> no. why would they do that? >> any surrogates on behalf of the white house? >> not that i know of. >> reporter: sources familiar with comey's actions say it was not unusual for him to keep detailed notes of meetings that could later called into

question. it is actually something that the fbi trains its agents to do. >> all right. jeff, thank you very much. some democrats say if president trump did ask james comey toenld the fbi's investigation of general flynn that is obstruction of justice. nance porties son capitol hill where law makers from both parties want mr. comey to testify. nancy, good morning. >> good morning. this development does seem to be a turning point for some republicans whose instinct up until now is to stand by the president or minimize his mistakes. the difference in this situation is that frankly many of those republicans are more apt to believe jim comey's words than they are to belie the president's. >> reporter: speaking with bob sheefer, john mccain made the nixon comparison for the first time. >> i think it's reaching the point where it's of watergate size and scale. >> as he spoke, his fellow

republican jason chaffitz was firing off a letter to the fbi. giving the agency a week to turn over all memoranda, notes, and recordings relating to any communication between comey and the president. south carolina's linldcy graham said comey himself should come to the hill. >> i don't want to read a memo. way tonight hear from him. >> reporter: gop leaders long resisted democratic calls for an independent congressional commission to examine the russian connection. but florida republican carlos crabello said that needs to change. >> increasingly republicans believe that we have to do something different than what we're doing today. >> reporter: idaho ace jim rish one is of the few republicans willing to defend the president. >> i think it's getting better as time goes on. >> you do? it doesn't feel like that in the past two days. >> reporter: democrats argued that comey encounter is the serious sign yet of obstruction

of justice. >> there is mounting concern over just how this administration appears to be interfearing with the russian investigation. >> a spokeswoman for house speaker paul ryan says that he wants all the facts and that he thinks it is appropriate for the house oversight committee to do what it needs to do to get its hands on this james comey memo. nora? >> all right. we'll be watching. obstruction of justice was the main charge against president bill clinton when he was impeached in 1998. president richard nixon faced the same accusation before he resigned in 1974. cbs news chief legal correspondent january crawford is also a lawyer. help explain. what criteria needs to be met in order to determine if the president's actions qualify as obstruction of justice. >> look, i mean this doesn't sound good what donald trump said. it certainly is a stupid thing for a froze say to an fbi director. but keet to obstruction of justice is intent.

whether president trump specifically intended to block the fbi's efforts. and we don't know the answer to that. i mean remember, the acting fbi director testified in congress last week that there had been no influence. so that's why you're seeing members of congress say they want to hear from comey. they want all the evidence. the memos, any possible tapes. and some are even calling for a special prosecutor to get that evidence. >> so, jan if, congress finds there is evidence of obstruction, the last 24 hours, we keep hearing that i word a lot, is impeach ment now on the snabl. >> i think that's why this is going to become more of a political issue than a legal one. the sitting president is highly unlikely to be prosecuted in koufrment in fact, it's an open question whether a president can be indicted or prosecuted at all. but if the evidence shows he could be prosecuted, yes, that would be enough to meet the standard for impeachment. remember, the constitution allows for impeach ment and removal of a president if he is committed high crimes and

misdemeanors. and, of course, obstruction of justice is what led to impeach ment proceedings against president nixon and clinton. and that's why i'm saying it's a political issue. at this point with republicans and n. control of the house and senate, it seems unlikely president trump could be impeached based on what we know now. gayle? >> thank you. a day of fwook back bombshells. a lot happened in the last 24 hours. thank you so much. cbs news confirmed that the classified intelligence president trump shared with russia came from israel. israeli ambassador to the u.s. said in a statement that israel has full confidence in our intelligence sharing relationship with the united states. critics say the oval office disclosure by the president may have hurt american intelligence gathering. but the white house says these leaks are coordinated effort to hurt president trump. major garrett is at the white house. major, good morning. >> good morning. whatever the damage done to u.s. intelligence gathering tore this new president's reputation as someone athat can be trusted to

properly handle classified information, the white house is still defending the president, even if that is contradicted at times by the president himself. >> did you reveal classified information to the russians, snir. >> did you share classified intelligence with the russians? >> reporter: after ignoring questions, he placed all questionable actions with russian officials in the context of fighting terrorism. >> we had a very, very successful meeting with the foreign minister of russia. our fight is against isis. >> reporter: h.r. mcmaster again defending the president made the case that he was out of the loop on key details. >> the president wasn't even aware of where the this information came. from wasn't briefed on the source or methed off the information either. >> reporter: mcmaster did not deny the disclosures and claimed they were wholly appropriate in talks about terror threats to airlines. >> security has been at risk by those releasing information to the press. >> reporter: the white house allege that's former obama officials are engaged in a timed

and deliberate attempt to damage the president. in a fund-raising e-mail to supporters, the trump-pence campaign said,ly to are people within our own unelected bureaucracy that want to sabotage president trump." republican senate ma jord leader mitch mcconnell laid the blame at the white house. >> i think question do with a little less drama from the white house. >> history is watching. >> reporter: democrats urge the white house to release a transcriptst president's meeting with russian diplomats. >> what are the republicans afraid snf are they afraid of the truth? why are they protecting president trump? >> the president's sense of frustration may be at the highest point of the presidency, the backlash of the comey firing and the latest controversy with intelligence sharing led the president to scrutinize, sometimes harshly, everyone in his inner circle that, includes his son-in-law and top adviser jared kushner. sources say that he was one of the prominent voices endorsing the comey firing and the president is angry that created such a political and legal

firestorm. >> thank you, major. tim kaine of virginia joins us from the capital. he was a clinton running mate in the 2016 election. good morning. >> good morning. >> what is that concerns you most about what we've learned in the last 24 or 48 hours and does it approach obstruction of justice? >> charlie, if the facts are as they are algdz, yes, it would get close to obstruction of justice. there are a few disputes though. let me lay it out. a director of the fbi is talk together president and essentially having a conversation about whether he gets to continue in his job. the president is asking him if he's loyal. the president asked him to drop an investigation into the national security adviser. the director not only doesn't drop the investigation, but he publicly reveals it to congress, asks for more resource fortz investigation and then gets fired. and thent president after initial hesitation acknowledge that's he is fired because of

the russia investigation. that is sort of a classic case that will get very close to being obstruction of justice. there are two facts of dispute. did president trump ask comb dwroi drop the investigation or not? that's why we need to hear from the director and from the president with all notes and tapes we can get. and second, there is a little bit of dispute about whether director comey had in fact asked for more resources before he was fired. >> senator, let me ask you. the acting director andrew mccain testified on capitol hill. he was asked about whether there was interfeerns and said clearly there had been no effort to impede our investigation to date. >> you know, but how do you squa fbi director? i mean, i view firing the fbi director and when asked essentially you admitting i'm doing it because of the russian investigation if, that's not an effort to impede or undermine the investigation, what is? especially if he had earlier asked him, hey, drop this flynn investigation and director comey

refused to. >> are you surprised that we're just now hearing about this memo? do you think we should have been told about it earlier? >> not necessarily. here's the case. if the president had said that droe to director comey, it's suspicious. but it's until after the firing that there is an actual effort to obstruct. vow to have an intent to obstruct. but you also have to take an action to obstruct. and the action was the firing. asking the question is very borderline, very, very borderline behavior. but if that question was asked and comey proceeded with the investigation and there was no firing of director comey, it's not clear that there would then be the actual act of obstruction. but the combination of asking him to drop the investigation and then firing him and citing the russia investigation is the reason that, really completes the allegations and what we need now is to hear from director comey and from the president about what happened.

>> senator tim cane, thank you so much. we reached out to 20 republican senators and representatives to appear on this broadcast. most requested that someone from the white house join us at any point during our two hour broadcast to respond to the latest news. all declined our invitation. >> washington police struggle to contain violence at a protest against turkey's president on the embassy row. a fight broke out yesterday during a demonstration outside the turkish ambassador's residence. this is in washington. nine people were hurt. some were covered in blood. now the brawl came hours after the president met with president trum tep white house. some witnesses say that the turkish president security was involved. police arrest twoz people. the turkish leader left the residence. this was in washington. a string of storms tore through the country devastating several communities. tornadoes flattened homes from oklahoma to wisconsin. at least two people were killed

and dozens more were hurt. the massive system stretches across more than 1,000 miles. so far 26 tornadoes have been reported across five different states. david beckman is in wisconsin, one of the heartest hit kmuction. good morning, david. >> good morning. we're getting our first good look at the damage which apparently stretched nearly 50 miles here in wisconsin. where we are right now, it's as if somebody bulldozed what was on this slab. take a look at the back part of the property. that house is almost untouched except for a few shingles that may need to be replaced. as this tornado continued on down another five miles, it nailed a mobile home park and the damage there is severe. video captured from above this trailer park in wisconsin shows the power of what is believed to be a tornado. >> we pulled walls off people and then carried them and put them on stretchers. leg injuries, arm injuries. it's nothing i've ever seen in

my 20 plus year career in law enforcement. >> downed power lines, trees cut off at their trunks and a massive field of debris has littered the neighborhood many call home. one person has died that trailer park. >> these are people we work with. we go to school with and they're our friends and neighbors. >> all my neighbors are okay. >> in elk city, oklahoma, a tornado tore through this subdivision. more than 50 structured were destroyed. >> the devastation, it is hard to xplavenlt it looked like some of the homes exploded. some of them look like they were bologna part by high wind r wind. >> reporter: the winds tosses buses and trucks in this lot like match boxcars. and reports of people trapped in their homes kept rescue crews working overnight. a 53-year-old man was killed after his car was thrown several hundred feet pinning him between his vehicle and his home. that man in oklahoma we're told was in his 50s.

our affiliate in oklahoma city said he called 911 and told the dispatcher i'm going to get in my vehicle and go to a shelter but he never made it off of his own property. today severe weather threat focuses on the upper midwest states. if that's where you live, stay tuned. >> pictures are scary. david, thank you. >> john mccain isn't the only republican comparing the trump scandals to watergate. ahead, we're going to tuk bob

meeting with the president. it's not clear how comey responded and that's why members of congress want that memo. >> in the same memo james comey said president trump asked him to shut down the investigation into his former national security adviser michael flynn. the white house denies that. the memo was first reported by the new york time and then confirmed by cbs news. comey noted ofnner. bob schieffer asked him about the scandal and the shoe continues to drop. >> what would you advise president trump to do about h?

>> same thing that you and others advised richard nixon, which you didn't to, and others that have been involved many something of this nature. it's not going to be all over until every aspect of it is authorly examined and the american people make a judgment. the longer you make a delay, the longer it's going to last. >> bob schieffer joins us from washington. bob, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> you know, there seems to be a lot of dropping shoes these days. what was your reaction when you heard john mccain use word water dwait and impeachment. >> john mccain is called the straight shooter. this not the first time i got a straight answer from him. i interviewed his father in 1956 before i even knew him. john mccain is deeply worried about this. i think he believes donald trump is in serious trouble right now

and it is up to donald trump to get himself out of it. he meant that and repeated it. he has to get all the facts out on the table. he has to find some way to reassure people of what this is all about and as i talked to many republicans last night. until they get this settled, nothing else much is going to happen. >> what might be the straw that breaks the camel's back and there has to be somebody within the republican party, within the congress to go to the president to say, these are the circumstances, unless something happens here, you're going to be in even deeper trouble than you ever imagined. >> i don't think, charlie, we're to that point yet. but i think the next thing that has to happen, i think comey will come before one of the committees on capitol hill and he will give his version of this

whole memo theme. once that happens, then we'll know where this goes after that. i talked to one republican. this was a heavily republican audience last night. they said he can either go the way of richard nixon or he can go the way of ronald reagan. he has to get it out on the table once and for all. until he does that, we won't know what happens. this has been raised a lot, charlie. it's escalated beyond where it was last week. >> one of the details we're learning from "the new york times'" excellent reporting is right before the president trump told the fbi director to let it go, he told his attorney general jeff sessions and his vice president mike pence to leave the room. >> yes. and mccain -- i asked mccain

about this last night, and one of the thing he said is he is dealing -- trump, president trump is dealing with a very smart lawyer right now. apparently he made these memos and teeld others about it if that becomes necessary and what happened when this meeting was taking place. this is becoming very, very serious. senator mccain says he does not believe it's an obstruction of justice but he's almost certain to come and testify before the committee. >> i thought one of the most interesting things of your conversation last night is mccain has done it for many years. inviting the ambassador into the

oval office was tough. >> it's unbelievable. let me just read here. he said, being friendly with a guy whose boss vladimir putin sent aircraft with precision weapons to i a tack hospitals in aleppo, it is unacceptable. i would never, ever invite him into the oval office. >> he called him an old kgb stooge. >> when he said that, the audience erupted in applause. >> the other thing is if the president has been taping all of the conversations, will somebody get ahold of the tapes and what impact will that have? >> i think somebody will try to subpoena them. i want to emphasize again this has moved up a notch to where it was last week when it was about, you know, white house aides

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. it's wednesday, may 17, 2017. welcome back to "cbs this morning." chaos inside the white house after another bombshell revelation. james comey says that the president asked him to stop investigating michael flynn's ties to russia. ahead, the president's growing frustration with top advisers including son-in-law jared kushner. but first, here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> these comey memos raise the questions about whether the president was trying to interfere in the russia investigation. >> the development does seem to be a turning point. many of the republicans are more apt to believe jim comey's words. >> stupid thing for a president to say to an fbi director, but

the key to obstruction of justice is intent. >> you have to have an intent to obstruct, but you have to take an action to obstruct and the action was the firing. >> the backlash over the comey firing and the latest controversy has led the president to scrutinize everyone in his inner circle. >> one republican said he could go the way of nixon or the way of ronald reagan. he has got to get this all out on the table once and for all. >> so to recap, donald trump admitted to firing the man in charge of investigating his russian ties, that he met with two russian diplomats and in a meeting that was arranged by vladimir putin and which we only saw because russian photographers were in there to take photos around at that meeting -- and at that meeting he admits he gave russian diplomats classified information. for perspective on this, let's go live to presidential historian doris kearns goodwin. what's your reaction? >> what's happening! >> thank you, doris. thank you.

>> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. >> that was -- >> i mean, yeah. >> a lot of people are saying what is happening? >> what is happening? >> and what's not doris kearns good win -- >> that was in a movie. fired director comey should testify under oath about a memo, that says president trump asked him to end the investigation on michael flynn. >> cbs news has confirmed that it was first reported by "the new york times" and the white house denies that the president pushed comey to block the flynn investigation. major garrett is at the white house. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the meeting between former fbi director james comey and the president happened here at the white house the day after president trump fired former national security adviser michael flynn. after that meeting, comey wrote a memo to himself. in it, it said and i quote, according to the memo, i hope

you can see your way clear to letting this go. to letting flynn go. he is a good guy. sources say comey was known to document conversations he believed could be called into question or might in the future might be legally relevant. the white house denied the comey memoranda saying that the president has never asked mr. comey or anyone else to end any investigation including any investigation involving general flynn. the president senses a frustration may be at the highest point of the presidency. not only the firing of comey, but the oversharing of intelligence with the russians has led him to question everyone in the inner circumstances and that includes jared kushner top adviser and son-in-law to the president. he is one of the voices that endorsed the comey firing and that the president is enraged that that action has set so many negative consequences in motion. >> enraged you say, major?

>> indeed. >> thank you so much. president trump's issues with his former national security adviser go back to the transition more than four months ago. the obama administration unveiled new sanctions against russia on december 29th. that same day general flynn spoke with russia's ambassador to the u.s., sergei kislyak. >> mike pence was told on january 14th that he did not discuss sanctions with kislyak. this was not the truth, pence defended flynn the next day on "face the nation." flynn was sworn in as national security adviser on january 22nd. sally yates warned the white house four days later that flynn may have been compromised by the russians. >> now, sally yates was fired on january 30th for refusing to defend president trump's temporary travel ban and general flynn resigned on february 13th. and the very next day, this is according to the fbi director's memo, president trump asked comey to let go of the flynn probe. then on may 9th, that's nearly

three months later, james comey was fired and the president admitted that the russian investigation was on his mind. >> adam schiff is the ranking member on the house intelligence committee and he is with us from capitol hill. congressman, good morning. >> good morning. >> not only does the former fbi director have a memo about this conversation which he accuses the president of saying i hope you can let it go, but he has memos of every single phone conversation and meeting he had with president trump. will you be allowed to see those memos? >> i'm confident that congress is going to get those memoranda and we already had a request from one of the republican chairs to do that. i'm also confident that director comey will come back and testify before congress as indeed he should. these are very explosive charges contained in "the new york times" report and you laid out a lot of the chronology, but to put this in context, you have michael flynn one of the most prominent surrogates for the president during the campaign

accepting money from russian entities not reporting that. then apparently having conversations that he lied about with the vice president. the vice president misleading the country, the president not taking action on that until it became public and then firing flynn and then the president attacking the press over it. the president asking the fbi director whether that the president himself was potentially a target of the investigation while the director purportedly was worried about keeping his job, then you have this final allegation that the president tried to make the flynn investigation go away. that is a very serious pattern of events. >> yeah. >> when you lay it out it sounds damaging. i'm curious about what you're hearing from your republican colleagues. we reached out to 20 of the republicans and it's leek crickets over there in washington. what should they be saying or doing in your opinion? >> well, you know, i think there

a's lot of deep -- there's a lot of deep concern on both sides of the aisle over the conduct of the administration. not only in terms of the p proprietary or improprietary of what this president is doing and these are all crises of the president's own making. what happens when we need to confront a serious external challenge? i think members on both sides of the aisle are deeply concerned about how deeply functional this administration is and where it will lead. even if we accepted what's happened up to this point it's troubling enough. but none of us know what is yet to come. i think we're seeing an increasing number of republicans willing to speak out, willing to even more importantly than speaking out, take action like support an independent counsel, support an independent commission or request testimony and documents. >> so you think there's a developing consensus for an independent commission or

investigation beyond the house and senate intelligence committees? >> well, it's the right decision for the country. >> is there increasing consensus that it's necessary? that's the question. >> i wouldn't say consensus. there is a increasing support, you have a number of republicans who are coming out in favor of the independent counsel or commission. i don't think we're at the critical mass yet. but we may be getting there and i know there are republicans that are conferencing this morning. see what -- >> what would put it there? >> well, we may, you know, we may there just be dints of what's taken place already. if they betray the conversations that the president had, that show a lack of ethics by the president, or potential, el illegality then you have more than enough to compel the gop conference and the speaker and

mitch mcconnell to do the right thing for the country. >> right now, it's he said/he said. who do you believe? >> well, i think the country is going to believe director comey. he's more credible when it comes to the russia investigation. you have the president's s surrogates out there saying one thing and you have the vice president in a position of saying -- >> i was going to -- >> it wasn't true. >> i was going to ask you about some news this morning. the russian president vladimir putin just offered to provide a transcript of president trump's oval office conversation with the russian foreign minister. that's the meeting where trump discussed classified information. would you accept that from the russians? >> i have to say i find that quite amusing. the last person that the president needs to vouch for him right now is vladimir putin and even beyond that the russians have denied they were involved in hacking the democratic institutions. who is going to give them any weight whatsoever?

if they want to send something, hats off. send it our way. but whether it's given any credibility, his credibility would be less than zero. >> thank you. congressman schiff, good to see you. >> thank you. >> america's self-made women have a combined billions. who jumpe,,
