capital. multiple sources in the pentagon and state department cannot confirm his death and the russian foreign ministry is unsure about al baghdadi's fate. holly williams is in istanbul with the latest on this story. >> good morning. russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov admitted russia does not have 100% confirmation it killed abu bakr al baghdadi. russia is apparently checking whether or not he was killed by an air strike allegedly targeting a meeting of isis leaders near raqqah in syria in the early hours of may 28th. that's nearly 20 days ago. now the whereabouts of al baghdadi have long been a mystery. there have been many rumors of his death, and he's rarely been captured on camera. he did appear in 2014 in mosul, iraq, to proclaim himself the caliph or leader of his so-called islamic state. we do not know how much of a role he played in isis militarily or strategically or how much impact his death would

have on the group other than symbolically. al baghdadi rose to become the leader of al qaeda's offshoot in iraq later splitting with al qaeda's leadership which has criticized isis for its brutality. jeff? >> holly williams in istanbul, thank you. the pentagon is making plans to send thousands more troops to afghanistan. most of them will be trainers or advisors. our david martin at the pentagon reports that three to 5,000 additional troops are expected to be deployed there in afghanistan. 8400 american forces are already there. the reinforcements would bring the total u.s. presence to at least 11,400. >> in the past hour president trump on twitter lashed out at the russian investigation. the president tweeted, quote, i am being investigated for firing the fbi director by the man who told me to fire the fbi director. witch hunt. major garret is at the white house. major, good morning. >> good morning. this tweet is genuine news. the white house had confirmed

that the president talked to robert mueller as part of a conversation about possibly being the interim fbi director. now we know, according to this tweet, that mueller advised the president to fire james comey. that puts this entire relationship into a different context. rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general's comments about anonymous leaks echo's the president's disdain for russian reporting and the vice president has, as they say, lawyered up. >> the strength of our nation will be determined by our ability to keep jobs in america. >> reporter: even as president trump talked about jobs his frustration expanding russian investigations boiled over. why is it that hillary clinton's family and dems dealingings with russia are not looked at but my non-dealings are, the president asked on twitter adding in another tweet this morning that nobody has been able to show any proof. sad. >> mr. president do you believe you are under investigation now. >> reporter: the white house referred all russia questions to

the president's personal attorney. according to the "washington post" mr. trump's son-in-law jared kushner also a top white house adviser, is now under special counsel scrutiny. the "post" said robert mueller is investigating kushner's finances and business dealings. in a statement to cbs news, kushner's attorney said that kushner had not been contacted by the special counsel's office. mr. kushner previously volunteered to share with congress what he knows about russia-related matters and, quote, he will do the same if he is contacted in connection with any other inquiry. >> thank you, mr. secretary. >> reporter: in a sign of the newfound seriousness of mueller's investigation vice president pence's office confirmed thirst he, too, hired a lawyer to deal with the special counsel investigation. president trump flies to miami today to begin to reverse an opening to cuba set in motion by president obama. the president will tighten restrictions on american travel and business interactions in cuba that were relaxed as part of the re-establishment of

accusers addressed reporters outside the courthouse thursday night. earlier in the day judge steven o'neill told jurors to keep trying to reach a verdict. former prosecutor mcandrews says it's up to judge o'neill to decide what happens next. >> the judge can declare a hung jury and declare a mistrial which allows a new trial for the defendant. >> we definitely want this to end. >> reporter: before jurors were let go thursday night cosby's publicist andrew wyatt called on judge o'neill to step in. >> hopefully the judge will make a decision and give us an update. >> reporter: constand's attorney said the jury is working very hard and other high-profile cases it has taken less time to reach a verdict. >> deliberations in the o.j. simpson trial took about four hours. >> you may be seated. >> reporter: and a florida jury found casey anthony not guilty of murder in less than 11. >> okay. >> reporter: the jury in michael jackson's child molestation trial spent about 30 hours before finding him not guilty.

>> and it doesn't -- that's not a question of what party you're in, that's a question of what values you hold. >> i think that's exactly right. thing is about values. it is about sense of what is the job of government? where is it we're trying to head? you know, there was a time when everything pretty much that happened in washington was filtered through the lens of does it help build a middle class? does it help create opportunity? for kids like me, i'm a daughter of a janitor who got a chance to go to college because america was investing in opportunities. i went to the college that cost $50 a semester. 1935 to 1980, gdp goes up and the 90% of america, everybody participates in growth. they get 70% of all the new income growth. 1984 it doesn't happen. the 90% doesn't participate in that growth. all of the growth goes to the

top 10%. that's not right. >> you say that nobody who works full-time should live in poverty. >> yeah. >> yet they do. >> yet they do. that's exactly right. you know, i'm somebody who lived this very personally. when i was 12 and my daddy had a heart attack and my mom had been a stay at home mom. my three protesters are off in the military. he had been been a paycheck to paycheck family and when that disappears you learn what that means. i remember the day we had lost our car. we're about to lose our house. and my mom pulls on her best dress and walks to the sears and gets a minimum wage job. and that minimum wage job saved our house and it also saved our family. but here's the deal. back when i was a kid, a minimum wage job would support a family of three. and the reason for that was because of the laws that were written in washington. today, a minimum wage job won't

support a mama and a baby. won't let someone working full-time rent a two bedroom apartment anywhere in america. and the reason for that? is because the minimum wage is now set in washington with an eye on, oh, the profitability of mcdonald's. the profitability of walmart. not on what it takes a family to survive. >> the passion that you feel for your position, the other side feels the same passion and they say part of the problem with this -- part of the cause rather of this shooting was the heated rhetoric on both sides. that people were so angry and o so -- there was so much acrimony and hatred in this country. do you think it needs to be toned down on both sides? do you think it contributed to the shooting that happened the other day? >> i think that we all have to take responsibility for what we say.

but do understand there's a lot where we try to continue to work together. it doesn't catch the headlines in the same way. just this week, i had introduced three different bills this week. one is to increase pay. for our enlisted military. and that's with -- that's with joni ernst from iowa, republican from iowa. susan collins, republican from maine and i have introduced the jessica kinski and patrick downs bill to give domestic victims of terrorism access to military hospitals and to the help that they need. you know, we're continuing -- >> that's the kind of things that appeal to both republicans and democrats isn't it? >> but is that a bad thing, charlie? >> no. >> no one said it was bad. but the point is -- who could be against that? >> but there was a time in america when the idea that someone working 40 hours a week ought to be able to support a

family also appealed to republicans and democrats and that's what's changed in washington. >> in fairness -- go ahead. >> you mentioned hospitals. what's happening with the health care bill? you mentioned -- not a lot of people are talking about that, the senate health care bill right now. >> it's absolutely the right question to ask when we're talking about bipartisanship. right now, the senate republican leadership has 13 men locked behind doors negotiating what they're going to do on a health care bill that won't -- and they won't let democrats in the room. >> the president did say the house bill was mean. >> that's the same bill that he threw the party for right after it passed. i mean, we need some -- we need to be able to see this bill. not to decide a month later that it's mean after it becomes law. and yet, the republicans won't let the democrats in. here's the thing. this is the bill that's going to touch every american family. everybody who's got an elderly

relative in a nurng home, everybody who has a child with special needs, these cuts to medicaid will touch millions of families. it's going to touch -- >> sorry to interrupt you but it's good to have you here. we have time to manage. >> thank you for being here.

association is setting the record straight in the long-running debate over the

healthiest fats. a recent "new york times" study says 72% of americans think coconut oil is healthy. they're wrong replacing saturated fats found in coconut oil and butter with vegetable oils like corn or peanut oil can lower cardiovascular disease by about 30%. that's about as much as a cholesterol lowering drug. our dr. tara narula is a cardiologist and joins us at the table. i guess you're here to say, dr. narula, just use coconut oil on your skin. >> yes. take it out of the saturated fat. that's similar to butter which is 60% or beef at 40%.

it raises the ldl or bad cholesterol. coconut oil does the same. >> if you see saturated fat, avoid it. >> exactly. since the 1960s, the american heart association says saturated fat is detrimental to cardiovascular health. you need to get it out of your diet. really there's been a lot of controversy about whether saturated fat is bad or not. it's confusing to a lot of people. people don't know what poly unsaturated and saturated is and now you throw into it this question of maybe saturated is okay. the american heart soes yaegs is coming out very strongly and clearly with this statement saying saturated fat increases cardiovascular risk and you need to look at what you're replacing it with when you take it out of the diet. if you replace it with poly

unsaturated fat like olive, canola, or safflower, you can lower it by 30%. if you replace it with mono unsaturated, olive or canola, that's good too. >> avocado is still good. >> yes. >> and olive too. >> fat is not fat. they think they're all the same. there are big differences. you have to read the labels. >> how much saturated fat is okay. >> fat is healthy. you to need some fat in your diet and this recommendation says they ear not going to put a general limit on fat. what you need to look at is the type of fat. when it comes to saturated fat, if you have high cholesterol, the recommendation is to keep your total saturated fat of 5% to 6% of your total daily

calories. if you're someone who has no elevated cholesterol, hen you can keep it to less than 10% of your total daily intake. >> dr. tara narula. thank you very money. he's gone from addict to country music, mr. mom. next we hear from country singer/songwriter about this little roady and how she's charching his life plus the caped crusader. you're watching "cbs this morning." up with our weekly tee times. but i've been taking osteo bi flex ease. it's 80% smaller, but just as effective at supporting range of motion and shows improved joint comfort in seven days. which means you're in big trouble, son. you will bow to my exquisite short game. cower at my majestic drives. i will make you question everything, son. so don't worry about dad's joints. worry about your dignity. love, dad. 80% smaller, just as effective. osteo bi-flex ease. made to move.
