7:00 am
linda macdonald is captioning for you in real time. good morning to our viewers in the west. it is friday, june 9th, 2017. welcome to "cbs this morning." president donald trump faces a battle of credibility with fired fbi director james comey. this morning, the president is launching new attacks on twitter after comey told congress mr. trump is a liar. and a stunning vote in britain leaves prime minister theresa may struggling to stay in power. her risky election gamble backfired overnight. the president wants a comeback for the coal industry. we're 120 feet below ground in coal country with a brand new mine that one small town is counting on. but we begin this morning with a look at today's eye opener, your world in 90 seconds.
7:01 am
>> i was honestly concerned he might lie about the nature of our meeting, so i thought it really important to document. >> comey's testimony rocks washington. >> reaction to comey's testimony? >> thank you very much. >> do you think he told the truth? >> the president never directed or suggested that mr. comey stop investigating anyone. >> somebody asked me, does it bother you that he called the president a liar? everybody in town calls the president a liar. >> jim comey probably perjored himself. >> he fired the fbi who's the head of his investigation. what the hell did he think was going to happen? >> he felt pain. he felt hurt. he was a wounded man. it was dumb. >> the guy he thought he swatted off the board is basically running d.c. comey is saying comey don't play that. >> the uk election will officially result in is a hung
7:02 am
parliament. that could mean big trouble for prime minister theresa may. >> it's been a remarkable story. >> heart-stopping video from illinois after several hot air balloons got all tangled up together. >> he's hanging out. oh, my god! >> all that -- >> a mama bear giving her cubs a little climbing lesson. >> oh, my god. >> malkin, he scores! >> and it's utter domination by the penguins. >> -- and all that matters. >> do you believe donald trump colluded with russia? >> it's a question i don't think i should answer in an open setting. >> then what the hell are we watching the open session for? why are we watching? >> on "cbs this morning." >> we're not getting anywhere, and i'm being told i'm out of time and the security is going to drag me out. so i will make this easy for you. you don't even have to respond with words. just signal me in any way. did donald trump collude with the russians?
7:03 am
got it. >> announcer: this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota, let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." president trump just tweeted a response to former fbi director james comey's charges of lying and interfering. the president said, despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication and wow, comey is a leaker. >> james comey told the senate intelligence committee that the president told lies about him and the fbi. he also accused the white house of giving a phony explanation for his firing. >> the administration then chose to defame me and more importantly the fbi by saying that the organization was in disarray, that it was poorly led, that the work force had lost confidence in its leader. those were lies, plain and
7:04 am
simple. >> james comey says he believes that he was fired because the investigation of russian election meddling was putting pressure on the president. nancy cordes was in the hearing room for the public testimony. >> reporter: good morning. committee aides see comey's testimony as a turning point in this investigation. they think it will compel other top current and former administration officials to meet with the committee as well. what left senators really scratching their heads were the number of times that comey said that the president lied to him or to the public and pressured him about the investigation. >> i think there are a lot of questions that remain to be answered. >> i have hundreds of outstanding concerns. >> i like getting all the evidence before i make a decision. >> reporter: comey's four-hour hearing left senators with a lot to mull over. >> it was unmistakable from jim comey's testimony today that president trump engaged in inappropriate and unethical
7:05 am
behavior. >> reporter: some republicans argued unethical is a lot different than illegal. >> whether it rises to criminality, i think there's significant doubt. >> reporter: comey described for senators why he decided to keep memos about his one-on-one meetings with the president. >> i was honestly concerned that he might lie about the nature of our meeting, and so i thought it really important to document. >> reporter: he said mr. trump asked him in the oval office to drop the fbi investigation involving former national security adviser michael flynn. >> why didn't you stop and say, mr. president, this is wrong, i cannot discuss this with you? >> it's a great question. maybe if i were stronger, i would have. i was so stunned by the conversation that i just took it in. >> do you sense that the president was trying to obstruct justice? >> i don't think it's for me to say whether the conversation i had with the president was an effort to obstruct. i took it as a very disturbing thing. >> reporter: comey said after he was fired, the president disparaged him and the fbi.
7:06 am
so he shared his memos with a friend, a columbia law professor, asking him to pass them along to the press. >> so why didn't you give those to somebody yourself rather than give them through a third party? >> because i was worried the media was camping at the end of my driveway at that point. i worried it would be like feeding seagulls at the beach. if it was i who gave it to the media. so i asked my friend, make sure this gets out. >> reporter: so what's next? well, committee leaders are hoping to meet with the new special counsel robert mueller as early as next week, and committee staff are going to be conducting a preliminary interview with jared kushner. norah? >> nancy, thank you. we'll hear directly from the president today at a rose garden news conference with romania's president. we've just learned mr. trump's private attorney plans to file a formal complaint about the memo that comey leaked. he said yesterday that comey's testimony proves the president never tried to interfere in the
7:07 am
russia investigation. margaret brennan is at the white house. margaret, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the president will no doubt be asked about the fired fbi director when he speaks to the press later today. the political calculation from the reporters seems to be that the president can overcome any damage by lumping comey in with the same washington establishment that he was elected to disrupt. president trump was notably restrained from tweeting or comments during the fiery testimony from former fbi director james comey. >> i took the president at his word that i was fired because of the russia investigation. >> reporter: while some of the president's allies down played comey's concerns -- >> the president's new at this. he's new to government. >> reporter: the trump team's strategy is to make this a political fight while changing the focus from the ongoing fbi probably into collusion and russian election meddling. the president yesterday
7:08 am
characterized it to evangelical supporters as a battle. >> as you know, we're under siege. you understand that. but we will come out bigger and better and stronger than ever. you watch. >> reporter: any response to comey's accusations isn't coming from the white house. that assignment has been outsourced to the president's personal lawyer marc kasowitz. >> mr. comey has now admit thad he is one of these leakers. >> reporter: kasowitz is trying to put comey in the spotlight for giving notes from his conversations with the president to the press after he was fired. >> we will leave it to the appropriate authorities to determine whether these leaks should be investigated. >> reporter: the justice department has not said whether it will pursue an investigation, but any recordings of the president's conversations with comey would be key to such a probe. >> lordy, i hope there are tapes.
7:09 am
>> reporter: the idea was first raised by the president, who tweeted three days after he fired comey that the former fbi director should hope no tapes exist. white house spokesperson sara huckabee sanders laughed off the suggestion of any recordings. >> i'll try to look under the couches. >> reporter: during the hearing, james comey said there were, quote, several reasons that attorney general jeff sessions had to recuse himself from the russia investigation, but yesterday the white house said that the president does have full confidence in his attorney general. >> all right. thank you very much, margaret. james comey's testimony also raises questions about president obama's attorney general, that's loretta lynch. comey claimed that lynch wanted to down play the importance of the hillary clinton e-mail investigation during the presidential race. >> i want to know, was she going to authorize us to confirm we had an investigation. she said, yes, but don't call it that. call it a matter. i said, why would i do that. and she said, just call it a matter. and, again, you look back in
7:10 am
hindsight, you think, should i have resisted harder? i just said, this isn't a hill worth dying on. they opened the matter. they all reported the fbi has an investigation opened. that concerned me because that language tracked the way the campaign was talking about the fbi's work and that's concerning. >> now, lynch associates said using the word "matter" just follows justice department policy where officials don't confirm or deny an ongoing investigation. >> with us now is bob woodward, associate editor at "the washington post." he's no stranger to blockbuster congressional hearings. he's one of the reporters who broke the watergate story that eventually led to president nixon's resignation. b bob, welcome. >> thank you. >> this began as a probe into whether russia was colluding
7:11 am
with members of the trump transition team. where are we on the big story? >> well, that's the question. the big story is about what russia did, and that's what's got to be investigated. and what is missing here at this point is a clear crime. what russia did in the election last year, it was a classic espionage operation. our cia used to do this decades ago. so you've got to find out who did that, was somebody in the united states, in the trump campaign or trump himself somehow, involved. that is a big task. i think we now have about 5% to 10% of the answers to the questions we need. there are so many, and so many have to do with what happened in russia. >> but that's exactly what the fbi was trying to do and tasked
7:12 am
with. then we have the man who's been in charge of this independent agency saying before the world, it's my judgment, i was fired because of the russia investigation by the president of the united states. >> i think that's true. and i think you look at the chronology and the evidence. at the same time, what was trump thinking? what was he doing? comey gives a window into this. trump was obsessed with getting a public declaration that he, trump, was not under investigation. and comey told him that three times and then never would say it publicly. >> you think he should have said it publicly? >> i think he should have. his argument is, well, if then trump became under investigation, we'd have to fix that, we'd have to correct it. but there is a way. and if you look -- for four months, trump was essentially
7:13 am
begging, tell them i'm not under investigation. >> was comey's credibility damaged, do you think, bob, when he admitted he leaked information to a friend in hopes that it would lead to a special prosecutor, which it did? >> i think it actually was enhanced. >> really? >> yeah, because he was honest about it. he's like our old source deep throat who was number two in the fbi. felt would meet in an underground garage, lurking in the shadows. comey has come out and said, look, i wanted to get this out, i think we needed a special could belie counsel to investigate. >> are there other comparisons with watergate? we had somebody on the inside. james comey is not on the inside of the trump administration. >> there is dramatic difference. comey is not john dean. comey is a witness about what trump allegedly did. dean was so powerful 45 years
7:14 am
ago as a witness because he said, look, i was the president's lawyer in the white house, and what i did was corrupt. we led the obstruction of justice. the president was in charge of this, and i was responding that way. >> was there any positive takeaway for team trump yesterday, in your opinion? >> well, just the argument that, hey, look, why didn't they tell the world that trump was not under investigation? and if you get into the chronology of this, there are two points where comey waits two weeks before kind of responding to what clearly was president trump's number one demand. >> you get the impression, though, that the trump team is a bit relieved by this. they expected, perhaps, he had things to say that he had not said before that might be even more damaging. >> that's possible, but it's very damaging when comey said,
7:15 am
look, at one meeting, the president said, let the flynn investigation go. a lot of people are saying, oh, trump is new to this, he's not a lawyer. if you check the record, and i have, trump's been involved in more lawsuits than just about anyone, and he knows you have to get legal advice and not do -- not get involved in this business of telling the fbi director drop an investigation. that's off the rails and way out of bounds. >> we sat here together all day yesterday and remarked about how many times the former fbi director mentioned tapes. multiple occasions. that was the reason he actually released the memos. he said, lordy, i hope there's tapes. do you think there are tapes? >> you know, it's always the best evidence. if there had not been tapes in
7:16 am
the nixon case, he would have stayed in office, i'm sure. say you're mueller, this special investigator, counsel, in this. what is it you want? you know what you want, you want a defector from russian intelligence to come to the united states, and i will tell you how we ran this operation. everyone in the intelligence community has been very clear and very powerful in saying there is evidence that everyone agrees establishes that russia did this. now, was there money involved? who was involved? they say putin directed it. are there people in this country? that's why i say we still have 90% or 95% work to do. >> let there be in fuzz on that, as comey said yesterday. bob woodward, thank you very much. britain woke up this morning to a political earthquake.
7:17 am
newspaper headlines capture how prime minister theresa may's gamble on early elections backfired. her conservative party lost its overall majority, but she vows to stay in power. the prime minister met with the queen this morning to ask her permission to form a new government. mark phillips is outside the houses of parliament in london. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, what if they held an election and nobody won? that's effectively what happens happened here. theresa may did take a huge gamble, thinking she could cruise to a big majority. that didn't happen. that's losing. theresa may earlier this morning looked shaken, chastened, and beaten. odd for somebody whose party had won more seats than any other. but that's the way it works here. she had lost her majority in parliament, but now says she'll try to cling on. >> i have just been to see her majesty, the queen. and i will now form a government. a government that can provide certainty and lead britain
7:18 am
forward at this critical time for our country. >> reporter: she had called the snap election while riding a double-digit opinion poll lead. she built her campaign around her leadership, which she called over and over again -- >> strong and stable. strong and stable. strong and stable leadership. >> reporter: but she looked, her opponent said, weak and wobbly, refusing to do tv debates, flip-flopping on policy, and jeremy corbyn, her pamain opponent, turned out to be not as bad a campaigner as many thought. he appealed to the youth vote. a kind of british bernie sanders. corbyn still finished second, but for him not being obliterated, even making gains, smelled like victory. >> the mandate she's got is lost conservative seats, lost votes, lost support, and lost confidence.
7:19 am
i would have thought that's enough to go. >> reporter: apparently she will not go. what happens now? frankly it's a bit of a mess. theresa may says she will try to cling on to power with the support of one of the smaller parties from northern ireland. how long can that last? the betting here, gayle, is that we may all be back here doing this all over again in not too long a time. >> all right. more chapters to come. thank you, mark. prosecutors are worried that the nsa contractor accused of leaking classified information may have stolen other secrets. ahead, what investigators

"the washington post" reports house lawmakers voted to roll back a landmark banking law. all but run republican voted to
7:32 am
scrap parts of the dodd-frank act. president obama signed it. repealing it would also weaken the consumer financial protection bureau. house republicans argue it puts an undue burden on smaller banks and businesses. democrats says the banking industry needs more oversight, not less. "the philadelphia inquirer" reports the fda has asked drug companies to remove an opioid from the market. an advisory panel decided the benefits of opana er no longer outweighs its risk. it is the first time the fda has taken steps to remove an opioid due to consequences of abuse. the drug maker says this does not indicate uncertainty with the product's safety or efficacy when taken as prescribed. "the new york times" reports on bill cosby's sexual assault
7:33 am
trial. he could tell jurors as early as today that he admitted to giving quaaludes to one woman he that sex with. cosby disclosed that in a 2005 deposition. lawyers shared other parts of his testimony including he and andrea constand had an alleged sexual history before the assault. if convicted cosby could face up to ten years in prison. the "atlanta journal constitution" says the nsa contractor accused of revealing trade secrets was denied bond. she wrote in a notebook how she wanted to burn down the white house. she allegedly passed a classified document to a news outlet. david begnaud is in augusta, georgia, outside a united states district courthouse. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it's possible reality winner could face more charges and here's why. she had a conversation with her mom from jail and it was recorded. in the call, she said, mom, i
7:34 am
got arrested for those documents, which led the government to wonder what else does she have that we don't even know about. the government's lawyers say they're concerned that former air force linguist reality lee winner may have stolen or exposed other state secrets. while the attorney called winner extremely intelligent, she said the government's evidence against her is down right frightening. the department of justice says the nsa contractor has admitted to taking a top-secret intelligence document from her employer, which details hacking by the russian military intelligence. inside her augusta, georgia, home, agents seized computers, cell phones, and four guns, including an ar-15. they also found handwritten notes, including one where she allegedly said i want to burn the white house down. prosecutors allege winner plugged an external hard drive into a computer, but authorities don't know where that drive is
7:35 am
located. winner has pleaded not guilty in the trump administration's first criminal leak case. her defense attorney argued the government is scraping and clawing to build a mountain out of a mole hill, but prosecutors say in recorded jailhouse calls, winner told her sister she would, quote, play the pretty, white, cute card. winner's mother and stepfather testified on her behalf. billy jean winner davis did not want to testify in court but testified her daughter was a top student who taught herself arabic when she was 17. the couple had previously spoken to "cbs this morning." >> when she sees a need, she goes to fill it. she goes to fix things. she's a good person. i know that if she did do something wrong, she's ready to face the consequences, and she will. >> reporter: so in denying her bail, the judge said he was concerned about reality winner's alleged fascination with the middle east and her desire to meet with taliban leadership. gayle, this was also
7:36 am
interesting. she apparently had a phone call with her mother from jail. again, it was recorded. she allegedly said, hey, mom, play the angle that i feared for my life when i got arrested, and then she allegedly said, if i don't get bail, go nuclear with the press. >> wow. david, that is interesting. as always, you tell it very well. thank you very much. videos a teenager made before killing himself are now key evidence in the manslaughter trial of his friend. conrad roy's videos offer a glimpse of the 18-year-old's struggles with depression. prosecutors say michelle carter bombarded roy with texts and urged him to take his life because she wanted attention. "48 hours" correspondent erin moriarty is following this trial. good morning. >> good morning. prosecutors introduced the videos into evidence before resting their case thursday. they show conrad roy speaking candidly about his inner turmoil. but that's something that also could help the defense. michelle carter's attorneys argue that roy was already suicidal long before he met her.
7:37 am
>> this is conrad henry roy iii reporting about social anxiety. >> reporter: at times, conrad roy seemed brimming with hope in his videos. >> i just got a job to captain their boat. that's a huge accomplishment. >> reporter: but later, his despair came into focus. >> it's no good, trash. i'll never be successful. i'll never have a life. i'll never have kids, never learn. >> reporter: in july 2014, roy died inside this truck from carbon monoxide poisoning. as he was dying, prosecutors say he was on the phone with michelle carter for 46 minutes. days before in numerous texts, carter, then 17, offered roy suggestions on how to take his n him when he wavered. but i'm tired of you not taking this seriously, like if you
7:38 am
aren't really going to do it, then stop pretending that you are, one message said. another read, hang yourself, jump off a building, stab yourself, i don't know, there's a lot of ways. carter's lawyers say investigators ignored texts she sent trying to help him. >> i'm trying to do the best to dig you out. you're not aware of that, are you? >> no, i'm not. >> and you're probably not aware he said, i don't want to be dug out. >> no. >> are you aware he said he wanted to kill himself? >> no. >> reporter: the defense is expected to blame carter's medication for her odd behavior and argue responsibility for roy's death ultimately lies with him. >> in the manner of death? >> yes, i marked that as suicide. >> okay. and it was also a box that you could have marked homicide. >> correct. >> in order to be convicted on the manslaughter charge, the judge would have to agree that carter's words caused roy's death, but remember, she was 35 miles away.
7:39 am
unfortunately, massachusetts is one of the only 11 states without a law that's making it a crime to encourage a suicide. that's what she probably should have been charged with rather than this voluntary manslaughter. >> it just seems so cruel. i can't imagine the attention she was trying to seek. >> i have to tell you, as a parent, i had a very difficult time sitting in court. you feel for both, but the amount of texts -- and there were times when he would say, i don't think i can do this, i'm scared. >> so what's going to happen today? >> it could all end today. the state rested. the defense will actually ask the judge to find her not guilty, saying that the state didn't present enough evidence. and that could happen. otherwise, then the defense will present this very odd defense called intoxication by anti-depre anti-depressants. >> thank you, erin. a new coal mine just opened in pennsylvania. we're there to find out if the

but for the people in this area, this rock represents hope. did it feel for a while this was a dying trindustry? >> yes, yes, it did. >> my grandfathers were coal miners. my father was a coal miner for a while. >> reporter: rob listened carefully to candidate trump's promises on the campaign trail. >> we're going to save that coal industry. believe me. we're going to save it. >> reporter: what did it mean to you to hear the commitment he made to the coal industry? >> oh, i think it felt great because it gave people a little more optimism. people had a little more hope in the industry. >> reporter: so that's the coal seam right there. the new mine was in the works before the election, but last week the president highlighted it as a rare bright spot. >> a big opening of a brand new mine. it's unheard of. for many, many years that hasn't happened. >> reporter: the coal industry has lost more than a third of its work force over the past decade with a 69% drop in the
7:46 am
number of active mines in the past 20 years. >> it's hard for me to see that coal is going to recover its huge market share. >> reporter: jay is co-director of the carnegie mellon electricity center. he says coal production is just a tiny fraction of the industry and won't move the needer on the bigger problem. >> natural gas has eaten coal's market share. it's gone down from 50% to 30%. those coal mines are unlikely to come back any time soon. >> when did things get rough around here? >> i'd say in the '90s it started. in the '90s, maybe, where all the mines were shutting down, steel mills were going out. that's what the people worked here. >> reporter: since then, betty rhodes hasn't had as many hungry mouths to feed here at the coal miner's cafe. the new mine is only hiring 70 to 100 workers, but she's bracing for business to pick up. what does the opening of this mine mean to this community? >> everybody is hoping it's income to everybody.
7:47 am
>> reporter: down in the mine, they're just happy to finally be moving forward. you think this is the beginning of something? >> i hope so, yeah. i think it will be. >> reporter: it may be only 70 jobs, but those 70 jobs mean the world to those 70 families. there are about 51,000 coal miner jobs left in this country, which is why a lot of people were surprised when the epa chairman scott pruitt announced that 50,000 jobs had been added to the coal mining economy. there have been jobs added, but only about a thousand. gayle? >> don, thank you. a hot air balloon ride takes a dangerous turn. ahead, what caused it to fly out of control with a rider just dangling from the bas

8:01 am
>> really? >> because he was honest about it. >> good morning, britain. wow, wow, wow. it's all been -- >> theresa may did take a huge gamble thinking she could cruise to a big majority. that didn't happen. that's losing. >> happy st. comey day, everybody. >> usually this rises to the obstruction of justice -- >> i don't know. that's bob mueller's job to sort that out. >> come on, comey! we didn't see you differentiate your investigate your role from the prosecutorial judgment. we came for this, comey. >> i want the truth! >> you can't handle the truth. >> i didn't mean to shoot him. i thought it was you walking through the door. >> you're out of order! you're out of order! >> there's what we -- that's what we wanted, comey. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. president trump is blasting fired fbi director james comey's
8:02 am
senate testimony. he tweeted this morning, despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication and wow, comey is a leaker. >> the senate intelligence committee is pushing forward with the investigation. staff will have preliminary interviews next week with jared kushner the president's son-in-law and senior adviser. >> james comey testified in detail about private conversations with the president and the russia investigation. comey said he believed he was directed to let go of the investigation of former national security adviser michael flynn. and he said the president lied about him. >> the administration then chose to defame me and more importantly the fbi intaing that the organization -- by saying that the organization was in disarray, that it was poorly led, that the workforce had lost confidence in its leader. those were lies, plain and simple. >> do you believe the russia investigation played a role? >> in why i was fired?
8:03 am
>> yes. >> yes, because i have seen the president say so. >> do you sense that the president was trying to obstruct justice? >> i took it as a disturbing thing, very concerning but that's a conclusion i'm sure the special counsel will work towards to un. >> he did not direct you to let it go? >> not in his words, no the run keep saying his words is, i took it as a direction. i mean, it's the president of the united states with me alone saying i hope this, i took it as this is what he wants me to do. not i didn't know -- i didn't obey that but that's the way i took it. >> comey asked a friend to leak a memo hoping it would lead to the special counsel and he encouraged the president to release any recordings. he said, lordy, i hope there are tapes. >> trump is likely to be asked about comey at a news conference this afternoon and his lawyer said it vindicated the president and strongly denied that mr. trump that he expects loyalty.
8:04 am
>> the issue is the memo that comey decided to leak. kasowitz criticized that move yesterday. >> mr. comey admitted that he unilaterally and surreptitiously made unauthorized communications with the president to the press. we'll leave it with the appropriate authorities to determine if these leaks should be investigated along with the others being investigated. >> the white house spokeswoman sarah huckabee sanders responded to comey saying quote, i can definitely say that the president is not a liar. >> bob schieffer has covered nine presidents including one who was impeached and one who resigned. bob, good morning. >> good morning. >> i know you watched this as well. let's just first talk about just the simple headline of what happened yesterday.
8:05 am
the former fbi director who has served republicans and democrats accusing the president of the united states of lying about him and the fbi. historic. >> it was extraordinary. i mean, i guess there's nothing new under the sun. i was around here back when president nixon made that famous speech on television and said the american people need to know your president is not a crook. i thought i would never hear a president say something like that and then fast forward to yesterday, i'm watching you and gayle and charlie cover this special report and here's charlie and right across the screen is the graphic that says, the president is not a liar. which is -- which was quoting sarah huckabee there. i mean, who would imagine that we would see something like this in american life.
8:06 am
but this is where we are right now. >> it's interesting, it's just beginning. bob woodward said we only know 5 or 10%. what we ought to know or what we will know about the russia probe. >> when things look pretty bad, it's usually worse. that's generally been my observation and watching these things over the years, but this is extremely serious. i mean, the russians -- there's no question the russians meddled in our election process. they're trying to destroy our faith in our institutions and you say can that be right? yes, all you have to do is look at what's going on in central europe. this is now the kremlin playbook. they don't drive tanks across the borders anymore. it's a lot cheaper to use cyber to bribe local officials. to disrupt elections. to arrest and silence the media. this is what the russians are doing right now. and one hopes as we move through
8:07 am
this investigation we'll begin to understand that because we have to start making preparations now for how do we -- how do we defense against this in 2018 when the next election comes along. this is serious business. i do not know one single person who deals in foreign policy or national security right now who does not think the russians did and tried to disrupt this election. >> i'd like to know your take though on the overall hearing. team trump said he was vind kate, they want to move forward with his agenda. comey was passionate and calm and poised under fire. was there a winner or a loser in your opinion? >> no. we'll decide -- the public will decide if there was a winner or a loser. because it comes down to do you believe former director comey or the president's lawyer? and frankly, what's happened
8:08 am
here is the white house team is simply taking the line none of it happened. it's all a lie. it's down to a he said/he said. here's what's going to happen. the special counsel will continue this investigation. he does have subpoena power. i take it from yesterday when the white house denied that the president said any of this, to me that says there are no white house tapes. if there were tapes, they're not tapes anymore. but i think that's one thing we can draw from that. >> i keep thinking and watching this, it's more about who's winning or losing, it's about the integrity of the institution. the integrity of the white house. the integrity of the fbi. public servants who spend their entire life not making a lot of money, but making an okay living in service to their country and their reputation. >> well, again, this is what the russians are doing, not just here, but around the world. they have figured out how to use
8:09 am
cyber. how to go in and bribe local officials in countries across europe. how to make sweep financial deals -- sweet financial deals and loans to the people in the central european countries. entrepreneurs. before you know it, they have taken over the country. that's what's serious about all of this. and that's what we have to focus on and one hopes as the special counsel is able to delve into more of what actually happened here, that this will become something that will make the public aware of what's going on. you know, we know that trump people were talking to the people in russia, talking to the russian ambassador and all that. we do not know specifically what they said, but comey knows. and now mueller will soon know because there are tapes of those conversations. i think what we find from those tapes is going to -- is going to determine where all of this goes
8:10 am
from here. bottom line, this is not over. >> all right. bob schieffer, thank you very much. always good to see you. >> thank you very much. british prime minister theresa may says she will form a new government and lead her country through brexit talks. may spoke outside the prime minister's residence in london. earlier she had gone to buckingham palace to ask the queen to lead a new commission. the prime minister had called early elections hoping to gain a stronger mandate to negotiate brexit. instead, voters delivered her a strong rebuke. may's conservative party lost its overall majority. previously unknown jackson pollack painting that could be worth up to $15 million may have been found in a garage. ahead, how
