7:04 am
margaret brennan is at the white house where the president says u.s. foreign policy starts and ends with him. >> reporter: good morning. the president is just beginning the longest and most consequence chul foreign trip of his young preside president. now he's raising doubts about the fate of america's top diplomat, secretary of state tillerson. >> i'm the only one that matters. >> reporter: last night, the president said the buck stops at the oval office and called unfilled slots at the state department a cost saving measure. president trump, who has criticized his secretary of state, left rex tillerson's future open ended. >> rex is in there working hard. he's doing his best. he's doing the best he can. >> is he going to be with you for the duration? >> well, we'll see. >> reporter: a nonendorsement of america's top diplomat on the eve of the trip. first stop, u.s. pacific command in hawaii, the hub of u.s. military might in asia. >> we have a problem called north korea. >> reporter: an unmistakable signal that the trump administration has the growing nuclear threat posed by north
7:05 am
korea in its sights. >> north korea's a thing that i think we will solve and if we don't solve it, it's not going to be very pleasant for them, it's not going to be very pleasant i guess for anybody. >> reporter: the president will attempt to reassure allies in japan and south korea. >> china is helping us. >> reporter: and pressure china, the centerpiece of his asia tour. mr. trump has pledged to get tough on what he calls beijing's unfair trade practices. but he is relying on them to rein in king jong-un. >> what's inflammatory is the north korean regime -- >> reporter: the trump administration insists it does not want to directly negotiate with north korea but is open to diplomacy. despite the high stakes, national security adviser h.r. mcmaster said the president will continue to talk tough. >> the president will use whatever language he wants to use obviously. i don't think the president really modulates his language, have you noticed him do that? >> reporter: mcmaster also said the trump administration is considering whether to put north korea back on its black list of
7:06 am
state sponsors of terrorism. he also said the president may meet with vladimir putin in vietnam. >> all right, margaret, thank you so much. president trump's twitter account is back online this morning after it was shut down by a twitter employee. the social media company admitted responsibility for the outage last night. mr. trump's twitter page was down for 11 minutes. when people searche searched @realdonaldtrump, all they found was this message, sorry, that page doesn't exist, exclamation point. statement said the account was deactivated due to human error. the company posted a tweet, saying an employee deleted the president's account on their last day. this morning, president trump tweeted, my twitter account was taken down for 11 minutes by a rogue employee. i guess the word must finally be getting oulth and having an impact. >> human error on last day of your job, delete the president's account, okay. president trump and house republicans say their plan for a
7:07 am
sweeping house tax overall will give americans a big break. >> we're giving them a big beautiful christmas present in the form of a tremendous tax cut. it will be the biggest cut in the history of our country. >> house speaker paul ryan says the average family of four would save nearly $1,200 a year. the proposal would add $1.5 trillion to the country's debt over a decade. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with how democrats and some republicans are now pushing back. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: analysts have been crunching the numbers. they say many but by no means all middle class families would get a modest tax cut. it depends on things like where you live and whether you take the standard deduction so it's difficult to draw across the board conclusions about winners and losers. here's what we can tell you. this plan introduced yesterday reduces the number of individual tax brackets from seven down to four. the corporate tax rate gets slashed permanently from 35% to 20%. and there's no change to limits
7:08 am
on 401k contributions or charitable giving. a few republican congressmen have come out already against this bill because it eliminates the deduction for state and local income tax. they argue that's going to hurt people in high tax states like new york and california and new jersey where home prices are also among the highest in the nation. democrats are attacking the plan's elimination of deductions for medical expenses and student loans and they're also against a new cap on deductions to new mortgage loans which will be cut in half from its current million dollars down to 500,000. they say that's going to slow down the entire housing industry. still, republicans are plowing ahead. they say it's possible they could make some changes but they want to begin debate next week because the president is pushing them to get this passed in the house and senate by the holidays, vlad. >> nancy, thanks. president trump wants an investigation into the democratic national committee. its former chair said the
7:09 am
process that led to hillary clinton's nomination, quote, compromised party's integrity. president trump tweeted, the dnc rigged the system to illegally steal the primary from bernie sanders. he was responding to donna brazile's claim in an upcoming book that she found proof the primary was manipulated in clinton's favor. politico published an excerpt online. she said they signed a funding deal in august 2015 nearly a year before clinton accepted the nomination. brazile says the agreement was not illegal but it sure looked unethical. senator warren backed the assertion that the nominating process was tilted towards clinton. cbs news confirms that jared kushner has given material to special counsel robert mueller. the documents related to his role in the firing of fbi director james comey. there are new questions about attorney general jeff sessions' knowledge about russian contact with trump campaign associates.
7:10 am
paula, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. sources close to the process say that the documents that kushner has handed over are messages from his private e-mail account and there weren't any relevant documents linked to his white house e-mail account. former trump campaign chairman paul manafort left federal court thursday with his gps ankle bracelet intact. after addressing the press on monday, his attorney could get slapped with a gag order to seal potential jurors. the judge said yesterday, this is a criminal trial, not a public relations campaign. we've also learned former foreign policy adviser to the trump campaign george papadopoulos, who reached a secret plea deal, pitched his russian connection during a march 31st, 2016 meeting. sessions attended the meeting along with then candidate trump. a source familiar with the meeting told cbs news sessions immediately rejected the plan by papadopoulos. sessions had testified he does not recall any meeting between russian officials and other
7:11 am
trump campaign associates. attorney general sessions has not been calleded to testify before the grand jury. mueller could be more interested in him as a focus of the collusion investigation and not just a mere witness. >> all right, paula, thank you very much. we have new eyewitness accounts of the deadly ambush of american troops in niger. four american soldiers were killed last month by isis-linked militants near the village of tongo tongo. cbs news traveled to the remote site of the ambush and spoke to the people who saw the attack. deborah patta is in niger's capital, that's niamey, with what she learned there. >> reporter: good morning. we now know u.s. and nigerien troops were on a reconnaissance mission but at some point all this changed. that meant they had to stay overnight in dangerous territory that could have alerted extremists to where they were. after spending the night in treacherous terrain, the u.s. and nigerien troops stopped for
7:12 am
supplies at the village of tongo tongo. it was here they were lured into a trap. three or four armed men appeared on motorcycles and started shooting. initially, a few isis fighters drew the troops to this spot. they burnt down the school and pushed them in this direction to where theal bush took place over there. village elder adamou bubaker witnessed the attackers. the fighting lasted over two hours. when it was over, he told us he saw the bodies of three american soldiers. two of the bodies were in a vehicle and another on the ground, he said. they'd been stripfed their uniforms. but it would be two days before children from the village discovered the fourth body of sergeant ladavid johnson about half a mile away. the village chief alerted the military that they'd found johnson. shortly after this, he was
7:13 am
arrested by them on suspicion of colluding with the terrorists. his distraught mother insists this is not true. it's still not clear how johnson got separated from the rest. this nigerien soldier would only talk if we concealled his identity. johnson had been stripfed his uniform, he told us, his hands were tied and they'd shot him in the head. the pentagon would not comment. we're getting more pieces of the puzzle. but it's still unclear why the u.s. mission was extended overnight in an area where more than a dozen extremist groups are operating. vlad. >> deborah patta in niger, thank you. isis now claims responsibility for tuesday's deadly truck attack in new york. an isis newspaper called the suspect sayfollo saipov one of its soldiers but did not provide evidence. police are increasing security ahead of sunday's new york city marathon which is expected to draw more than 2.5 million
7:14 am
spectators. msh mi michelle miller is at the marathon's finish line at central park north of the attack. >> reporter: there will be an army of counterterrorism units, canine teams, undercover and uniform officers here on sunday. that's in addition to all the increased security down at the route of the attack. crews are now installing concrete barriers at nearly 60 intersections along manhattan's west side bike path. it's all to prevent cars from entering following tuesday's deadly assault. police are also stepping up patrols along the path. these posters are asking for information and videos of the rampage. this newly released cell phone video shows the moment the suspect saipov was captured by police. court documents say police found knives and notes praising isis in saipov's truck, as well as
7:15 am
two cell phones. a law enforcement source tells cbs news authorities tracked those numbers on the phones and linked them to sympathizers of the radical cause. they were already on the nypd's radar. the source says saipov made calls to some of those numbers the day of the attack. saipov is facing terrorism charges. president trump has tweeted he believes saipov deserves the death penalty. david patton is saipov's public defender. >> i promise you that how we treat mr. saipov in this judicial process will say a lot about him. us than it will say - >> reporter: along the 26-mile route of sunday's marathon, police are also ramping up security. runners say they're not distracted by tuesday's deadly violence. >> a lot of people spent hours and hours and months and years of training for this event and it will be an example to everyone else around you that you won't be stopped.
7:16 am
>> reporter: and as runners gather here today, they should note that new york senator kristin gillibrand introduced new legislation that will require the department of transportation to fund construction of traffic barriers to protect bicycle lanes and pedestrian crosswalks from similar attacks. >> all right, michelle, thank you. cbs news has learned new york police detectives presented prosecutors with evidence of new rape allegations against harvey weinstein. more than 60 women have come forward to accuse weinstein of sexual harassment, assault and rape. the new allegations come from huerta who says he rape heard twice. jericka duncan spoke with her. >> reporter: sources consider de la huerta's claims to be credible and they believe they have enough evidence to present to the grand jury for possible charges. the actress is currently in
7:17 am
spain. i spoke to her by phone. >> he's' monster. what he did is criminal. >> reporter: that's how paz de la huerta now described harvey weinstein. the man who gave her one of her first big hollywood roles. >> i don't remember. >> reporter: as mary in the 1999 movie "the sider house rules." >> this shouldn't be really allowed to come in contact with any woman. >> reporter: in october of 2010, de la huerta says weinstein gave her a ride home after a party and then insisted on having drinks inside her new york city apartment. she alleged weinstein pushed her on to her bed and unzipped his pants. are you saying that he raped her? >> i just froze in fear. i guess that would be considered rape. because i didn't want to do it. >> reporter: de la huerta claims weinstein raped her a second time just two months later in december. she says winestein showed upped unannounced in the lobby of her building. at the time she says she had been drinking and was in no
7:18 am
state to have conscienensual se. >> the second time around was much more aggressive. i suffered somewhat of a breakdown that night. i disassociated because i was so afraid of him. >> reporter: a senior sex crimes pros kuecutor has now been assid to this case. she says she hopes going public with her claims will help other alleged victims. >> it doesn't feel as frightening. it feels more safe now to come forward. because there's other women coming out with their stories. >> reporter: after the first alleged rape, de la huerta says she confronted weinstein at the four seasons in los angeles. she claims he was calling her continuously and she wanted him to leave her alone. weinstein did not respond to our request for comment but he has repeatedly denied all allegations of nonconsensual sex so -- >> this story hasn't changed and
7:19 am
neither have the women coming forward, they all keep telling very similar stories. methods of operation. thank you very much. very disturbing. the world series champion astros, well, they're back in their hometown this morning. people are very glad to see them. they arrived at houston's airport last night. mvp george springer stepped off the plane proudly lifting the club's first world series trophy. the team was met by thousands of fans who lined the route downtown. houston will honor the astros with a victory parade today. and a rally at city hall. all classes in the houston school district -- >> really? >> yep. are canceled. did i say it wrong? >> no, no, i'm just saying. >> oh, okay. and there's -- >> no, sorry to interrupt, you said all the classes have been canceled. i was saying really? oh, wow, that's great. >> i was thinking, is that not correct? but this is the rumor, or this is the word that justin verlander is going to miss the parade today, why, because he and kate upton are getting married in sicily, in italy, over the weekend. that's the word on the street. so i think that's a good reason

7:33 am
failures where reported. one family's scary experience and the response to the report. >> reporter: mylan doesn't take issue with the data but says bloomberg's article is misleading. it says a rise of report in failures doesn't suggest a rise in failures and suggests increased prescriptions could be to blame. for those who depend on the device, any failure is unacceptable. >> watching your child sit there scream don't let me die is awful for any parent to have to go through. >> reporter: tina hampton's moment of panic was made worse after she reached for an epipen. this past spring, her 6-year-old daughter, whom she doesn't want on camera, was gasping for breast after an allergic reaction to peanuts. >> when i pulled it out, the needle did not go back inside of the epipen, it was bent. >> reporter: it sliced her daughter's leg, leaving a scar. she credits a backup epipen for saving her child's life. bloomberg obtained data from the fda linking 228 reports of
7:34 am
epipen failures to seven deaths and 35 hospitalizations this year. the fda cautions with its reporting system there is no certainty the reported event was due to the product. >> it's a very easy device to use but someone in a panic might use it wrong. >> reporter: dr. scott sicherer is a pepediatric allergy expert. >> one, two, three. >> reporter: slow motion gives a better look. at how it delivers a dose of epinephrine, just one shot per device. in emergencies, he says some folks get confused, holding it the wrong way. >> when they press it they then get the medication into their thumb. >> reporter: despite the increase in reports of failures since 2012, mylan says no changes have been made to the epipen device since 2009. the company says they haven't found a causal connection between reported patient deaths and the epipen. now, there was a recall of some
7:35 am
epipens earlier this year due to a defective part, but the fda tell us we are not aware of defective epipens currently on market and recommend that consumers use their prescribed epinephrine auto injector. as for tina, the mom at the beginning who had the scar and her daughter's leg, she has switched to a competing injector. >> all right, tony. >> she used a backup epipen? >> she had a backup. the pen still work eed ultimate. >> can injust say the wedding ring looks very good on you? >> thank you. i appreciate it. i'm a very lucky man. >> yes, you are. she is too. >> tony, thank you very much. a campaign by new jersey governor chris christie to crack down on distracted driving recently swept up a high-profile offender. newly release video shows the suv of the garden state's first lady mary pat christie being pulled over last april. the officer says she was holding a phone in her hand. the distracted driving crackdown was ordered by governor

"the wall street journal" reports president trump nominated jerome powell to lead the federal reserve. powell is expected to guide the central bank toward more open decisionmaking like current chair janet yellen. the markets will likely welcome the continuity. but it might cause friction with some republican lawmakers who want to see the fed ease regulation. and "the washington post" says employers were hiring last month as the economy rebounded. the labor department's new jobs report released this morning shows employers added 261,000

8:03 am
affect their trip to asia. margaret, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. secretary tillerson will be by the president's side to help navigate the difficult diplomacy in asia, but once again the president is undercutting his authority. last month the president said tillerson was wasting his time with north korea, and then the secretary made an extraordinary statement to deny calling him a moron. this divide could undercut america's negotiating power. >> sometimes i would like him to be a little bit tougher. >> reporter: the president's unusual undermining of his secretary of state has left diplomats around the world scratching their heads. >> no, we don't agree on everything. h yeah. mind. >> reporter: mr. trump has been willing to break with his predecessor's commitments. >> that deal is an embarrassment to the united states. >> reporter: and his dismissiveness of diplomacy at times ham strung his top diplomat. >> our diplomacy has not stopped, hampered or slowed. >> reporter: many experienced
8:04 am
diplomats headed for the exits. >> i think something has to change for him to try to be effective, something has to change. >> reporter: after nearly 30 years of service, david rank quit his job as act ingham bass door to china when president trump pulled out of the paris climate change accord. >> we're getting out. >> reporter: against tillerson's advice. >> do you think secretary of state tillerson is strong enough to stand up to president trump? >> certainly president trump is capable of making it impossible for secretary tillerson to be successful in his job. >> reporter: tillerson's aloof management style has led to questions about whether he is pushing back against his boss. >> whatever he decides though, he's the president of the united states. i will work as hard as i can to implement his decisions successfully. >> reporter: but when it comes to the people tillerson does want to hire for executive positions like the head of asia policy, the white house has blocked his choices. 300 of the most senior positions sit unfilled and 48 of the 188 ambassador posts are vacant, most significantly south korea.

>> if you don't have an ambassador, it is kind of like you have the u.s. government but without -- without a president. >> reporter: former ambassadors william brownfield and christie kenny who serve both republicans and democrats said rising tensions on the korean peninsula make it vital to have a team in place. >> it doesn't take a rockette scientist, for give the term, to realize that this is a very delicate issue and staying in super close touch with our south korean, japanese partners and the chinese is critical. >> reporter: skeleton staffing has left american allies without anyone to explain the often contradictory statements from the twitter-wielding president. >> if i'm going to be honest, i have to say the tweets haven't stopped and there's some weird stuff that comes out of there. >> reporter: former ambassador found the recent spat between president trump and bob corker alarming. >> i think we're heading for world war iii with this
8:06 am
president from his own party, then people get nervous about where we go. >> reporter: that 8% cut in staff and vacancies prompted a question in that fox interview whether the lack of staff makes it hard to implement the president's foreign policy vision. the president dismissed the question. said, it saves money and at the end of the day, norah, he is the only one that counts. >> all right, margaret. thank you. richard haas, the president of the council on foreign relations joins us to discuss the high stakes of president trump's asia visit. richard, good morning. >> good morning. >> you have worked in the state department for multiple administrations. how is what is going on, this chaos in the state department affecting foreign policy? >> the short answer is that it is bad at both ends of the process in terms of the advice that the president, the secretary of state are not getting. secondly, when it comes to implementation, the fact that the president is heading off to seoul, north korea is the center piece of the visit, we don't have ambassador there, we don't have access to the government there we need, we don't get the advice we need. it is a self-ip flikted wound, a
8:07 am
known goal as they say. >> how detrimental -- it is not a ringing endorsement for your secretary of state to say, we'll see. it is my experience when you're told that he ain't going to be here long. >> it is not the first time it has happened. the secretary of state was recently meeting in china with counterparts. the president was tweeting, stop wasting your time, diplomacy is going nowhere. it puts him in an impossible situation. it is not just about rex tillerson but who comes after him. if the president isn't determine to make sure he succeeds, he can't succeed. >> let's focus on policy. this is a significant trip to asia. what do you see as the most important things he can accomplish? >> two big issues are north korea to see if you can get a common threat with south korea, japan, to put pressure on north korea to make a difference. second issue is trade. the president has five stops and trade will figure prominently in each one. it is the united states out of
8:08 am
sync. remember, the first foreign policy of the president was what? to yank if united states out of the trans-pacific partnership. we are completely out of sync with our allies and potentially we could be in something of a trade confrontation with china. >> so in a week that should have been about preparing for this trip, you had the mueller investigation, the indictments coming down, does this cloud what the president is trying to do? >> well, it doesn't help obviously, but the locals there, they're used to dealing with american presidents under pressure. they had ronald reagan during iran contra, bill clinton during the impeachment, so it is not fundamentally new, and obviously nixon. but it could be a distraction in some ways for the president, and it is a backdrop you don't need. life is tough enough in asia, particularly with north korea. this is a country months away from having nuclear missiles that can reach the united states. we don't need distractions. >> what would your definition of success look like for this trip? >> two things. avoidance of a real trade war.
8:09 am
that's the most you could hope for. the idea we would actually reenter the trans-pacific partnership ain't going to happen. it would be good, but not going to happen. the real question is can we get a common front to put more pressure on north korea to make a difference. that's where china comes in and i don't see it happening, gayle. china is unlikely -- not unable but unlikely and unwilling to agree with us to put the kind of pressure on north korea to make a measurable difference. i don't think you can get success. >> by the way, we are hearing too that the president may meet with putin on this trip in the philippines. north korea -- the white house wants to put pressure on north korea for these oil and gas shipments going into north korea. >> right, and russia has become, again, a spoiler. votes for sanctions in the u.n. the same afternoon it ships things to north korea in contravention of sanctions. it would help to get russia and china on board more than they are, but they're not going to do enough to decide things. >> quickly, mcmaster is saying that the denuclearization of the
8:10 am
korean peninsula is the only outcome. >> it is not going to happen. are we willing to accept lesser interim stages? if not, we are saying we don't believe in diplomacy which means we live with a north korea that can threaten us or we go to war. i do not understand why we're not embracing more modest diplomatic outcomes. >> a lot of things we don't understand. we're watching and will see what happens. thank you very much president trump says he want to give americans a tax cut for christmas, but will the gop plan be a gift for all families? cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger is in the toyota green room with the

midd middle-class families will see a tax cut. it reduces from seven to four. it expands the child tax credit but it limits state and tax deductions and limits house deductions. the hows ways and means committee takes up the bill on monday. business correspondent jill schlesinger is here to break it all down what it means for your family. good morning. >> good morning. >> let's start. a breakdown of 7 to 4 is good but is there abu? >> itwe have a progressive syst. if you make up to $45,000, you pay 12%. the next $45,000 to $200,000, you pay 25%.
8:17 am
it's a simplification. what you note is the rate is still in there. it's applied to much higher income. yes, indeed, the middle class is likely to be helped by this. but if you make a lot of money, you're going to get helped by a lot more. >> what about the standard deduction? >> essentially if you make less than $24,000, you're going to pay less. and that makes sense. tax filing is far easier. right now about 70% of filers claim the standard deduction. under this new plan it looks like it's going to jump to 84%. that's good. it's easier. but there's a caveat here. in doubling the standard deduction, the plan will also get rid of personal exceptions. that's what you claim. 4 grand for yourself, your spouse, and your kids. if you're a middle-class family and you have a bunch of kids, it's not so good. it's a strange plan because it's
8:18 am
quite particular to each person's situation. >> this plan would increase the child tax credit. if i'm mair and have kids, which i doeld, but if i were, what does this mean? >> go get some kids. it goes from a thousand to $16,000, vlad. let's talk about this. this is going to be a family tax credit. so from 1,000 per child it goes to $1,600. that's very helpful. again, this really is focused your family. and, by the way, where you live. it's extraordinarily important. >> i was going to say some of the most controversial stuff will be the repealing of the state and local tax deductions and limiting of the home mortgage deduction, right? >> right. here's what kboes on. if you itemize your taxes you
8:19 am
can deduct your state and local taxes against your federal return. under the new plan you can no longer do that, but you can deduct property taxes. that's capped at $10,000. so what's happening right now is the national association of homebuilders, the national association of homebuilders is against this plan because they believe those deductions help the housing market and, again, the mortgage industry deduction, if you have a mortgage, relax. you're grand foreed in. new mortgages, it's only deductible to a $500,000 mortgage. this is very important. it looks like it's going apply to refis. complicated plan. depends on where you live. >> got to go. bottom line, who benefits most? >> the ultra wealthy, and i mean the ultra wealthy. the sports columnist who predicted the astros would win this year's world series.
