be careful, san antonio, the ramblers are on their way. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota, let's go places. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." you got to love sister jean and i saw her on television yesterday. >> ultimate fan, yes. >> john dickerson is off this morning so anthony mason is with us. >> well, hi there. great to be here. >> and i'm back, people. i'm back. >> there she is. >> you came back on a really busy news day, norah o'donnell. >> lots to talk about. adult film actress stormy daniels says fear kept her from talking about an alleged fair with president trump. she told her complete story last night on "90 minutes." it's already under attack by the lawyer for michael cohen, the president's personal attorney. >> stormy daniels says she signed an agreement because she

was worried about her and her family's safety. she claimed cohen threatened her with financial ruin to keep quiet. >> possible legal challenges for cohen and trump. major garrett is at the white house, which has said nothing about the "60 minutes" story, major, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. stormy daniels discussed in some detail the alleged affair with mr. trump, one she had previously denied. she also made mention of an alleged threat against her and her daughter. now, on the eve of the "60 minutes" broadcast, where all of this was discussed, the president had dinner with michael cohen. the two of them at the center of this ongoing political and legal drama. >> i was in a parking lot. going to a fitness class with my infant daughter and a guy walked up on me and said to me, leave trump alone, forget the story. and then he lean around and looked at my daughter and said "a beautiful little girl, it would be a shame if something happened to her mom." >> reporter: in an interview with "60 minutes" daniels says

she was first threatened to stay silent in 2011. >> you took it as a direct threat? >> absolutely. my hands were shaking so much, i was afraid i was going to drop her. >> did you go to the police? >> no. >> why? >> because i was scared. >> reporter: daniels says she doesn't know who threatened her. her lawyer says a new lawsuit filed by cohen is meant to intimidate his client. >> there's no question, you threaten someone with a $20 million lawsuit, it's a thuggish tactic. it's no different than what happened in the parking lot in las vegas. >> reporter: michael cohen has denied ever threatening daniels. his lawyer fired back overnight at avenatti, calling allegations she was threatened baseless. mr. cohen had absolutely nothing to do with any such person or incident and does not even believe any such person exists. >> reporter: was it hush money to stay silent? >> yes. the story was coming out again. i was concerned for my family

and their safety. >> reporter: after signing a nondisclosure agreement, daniels said she lied in statements where she denied vague affair with mr. trump. if it was untruthful, why did you sign it? >> because they made it sound like i had no choice. >> reporter: no one was putting a gun to your head? >> not physical violence, no. >> reporter: you thought there would be legal repercussion? >> as a matter of fact, the exact sentence used was they can make your life hell in many different ways. >> reporter: they being? >> i'm not exactly sure who they were. i believe it to be michael cohen. >> reporter: no official comment from the white house this morning, but the president did tweet, saying there's, quote, so much fake news going around. now, the attorney for mr. trump pointed 60 minutes to a previously signed january statement from daniels denying the affair. >> all right, major, thank you. michael cohen's $130,000 payment to stormy daniels is raising new legal questions for him and the trump campaign.

paula reid is also at the white house. paula, so explain this, because stormy daniels calls it hush money. but why would the fec care about it? why would it become something that's a legal matter? >> reporter: the biggest question is whether or not this payment had anything to do with the election. this is an affair that occurred about a decade prior but just 11 days before the election, she received this $130,000 payment. the question for federal investigators is, was cohen trying to pay her to prevent her from talking during the election? if he was, two potential legal problems. the first is that amount of money would far exceed the individual contribution limit for mr. cohen. the other thing is we don't really know exactly where this money came from. and that could potentially cause some problems about disclosure requirements under federal campaign finance law. >> paula, why would the special counsel, robert mueller, be interested in this? >> we know that mueller is looking into how the campaign was financed. he's also asked witnesses about

some events cohen was involved in. also requested some documents about mr. cohen. we have to look at the specific mandate mueller was given. he was asked to look into the russian government in the 2016 campaign. it's hard to see how this nondisclosure agreement would fit into that. but if he discovers any evidence of criminal wrong do he can hand it over to the justice department. >> all right, paula, thank you so much. >> thank you, paula. the attorney who represents stormy daniels joins us at the table. good to see you again. >> good morning. >> all right, michael cohen's attorney is saying listen, you are accusing him of false things. they said that he did not have anything to do with this incident about stormy daniels being threatened. if she was, in fact, threatened. or even if such a person exists. you've been hit with a cease and desist order and they're asking for an apology. what do you say about this? >> we're only getting started. michael cohen has zero credibility. we're going to prove it. his statements thus far in

connection with this matter are laughable. this is a man who has a history of thuggish behavior using intimidate tactics and trying to step on little people. and as it relates to my client, it's going to come to an end and we're going to show the american people exactly who michael cohen is and exactly what happened in connection with this incident, including what happened with the agreement and this $130,000 payment. >> you're insisting you have evidence that proves this? >> we are going to establish evidence. we already have some evidence that certainly established this. >> why haven't you done that yet? you teased on twitter with a cd, a picture's worth a thousand words. that seems like a big tease. why are you teasing us? if you have it, why not produce it? >> we're in the process of a legal case. we're going to be methodical, surgical and smart in the way that we go about doing this. the cd, the tweet and the cd or the dvd was meant to send a warning shot. that mr. cohen and the president better be very careful what they

come out and state regarding my client. isn't it interesting, gayle, that we have a president that will tweet about the most mundane matters, but he won't tweet about my client? the affair? the agreement or the $130,000 payment? you know why he won't tweet about it? because it's true. it's 100% true. >> what's on that cd? what's on that cd? >> i'm not going to disclose what's on the cd right now. >> video images? >> i'm not going to disclose. you can ask me ten different times. we'll disclose it at the appropriate time. but where's mr. -- >> -- nothing on the -- >> well, if you think i'm believing, you should ask a lot of people i've litigated against. you ask them if i'm the kind of guy that bluffs. >> what are you holding out for, more money? >> we're not holding out for more money. we're going to treat this like any other case. we're going to be smart about it. we're going to be strategic about it. >> we learned some very salacious things.

okay, so the president of the united states, they had a one night stand, number one. he allegedly likes to be spanked with a magazine with his picture on the cover. he allegedly sits on the bed perched. all of this very tawdry when you just think president and porn star in one sentence is jarring for a lot of people. what exactly -- why does this matter to the american people? >> it matters -- >> i really want you to lay this out. >> i think a lot of people watch that interview last night and they went, okay, they had an affair years ago, a one night stand years ago, she was paid, how was she paid. tell us why this matters to us. >> gayle it should matter to every american because it's all about the cover-up. it's about the lies and deceit that have been laid out for the american people by mr. cohen and mr. trump by his surrogate. it is about the hiding of the knowledge of the president relating to the agreement and the negotiation of the agreement as well as this $130,000 payment. mr. cohen wants the american

people to believe that this is all false and he just paid the $130,000, even though there was no basis to the allegation. well, if that's true, gayle, every viewer right now should call michael cohen's office here in new york city, claim they had an affair with the president and a cording to mr. cohen, he's going to send you $130,000 immediately. so i would urge every viewer to do that. it's laughable. it's a joke. >> a lot of time you were here, i asked you specifically if you had evidence that the $130,000 that michael cohen, that it came from somewhere other than his own pocket. you said you might. are you going to disclose that? >> at the appropriate time, yes. >> the person who threatened your client in 2011, do you have any indication who that might be? >> we're in the process of trying to discover who that might be. you can imagine how terrifying that was for my client. >> have you been contacted by federal investigators or the special counsel? >> i'm not going to answer. >> is she still being threatened? are you worried about her life? is she worried about her safety?

>> absolutely. i mean, she received threats on a near hourly basis. we don't have anything tying those to mr. cohen or mr. trump to be clear. but she's certainly scared for her safety and the safety of her family in light of this. >> well, admitted she lied before. why should the american people now believe she's now telling the truth? >> i think the american people were able to observe her under some pretty tough questions by anderson cooper. they were able to observe what she said. her demeanor. et cetera. i think that 80% to 90% of the american people found her to be credible and believable. >> all right. the story to be continued, right? >> thank you. >> to be continued? >> absolutely to be continued. we're just getting started. >> all right, thank you very much for joining us at the table. we should note that we did invite the president's lawyer, michael cohen, who we've been talking about, to give his reaction on "cbs this morning." he's not yet responded to our invitation. we have breaking news from the white house where president

trump just ordered the expulsion of 60 russian diplomats from the u.s. it's in retaliation for the nerve agent attack on a former russian spy and his daughter in england. a senior administration official says 48 are based at the russian embassy. 12 at the united nations. the president also ordered the russian consulate in seattle to be shut down. saying it's too close to boeing production plants and a u.s. navy base. 14 european countries also expelled russian diplomats today. over the attack on sergei skripal. moscow denies responsibility. a fire inside a shopping mall crowded with families killed least 64 people in russia. the fire broke out yesterday. the first weekend of a school break. and burned through the night. young children are among the victims. elizabeth palmer is following developments from london. elizabeth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the fire broke out yesterday afternoon. and blazed for hours.

as firefighters raced to evacuate people from the fourth floor of the building. the roofs of two of the three movie theaters had eventually collapsed. and in their desperation to escape, some people jumped from windows. bodies were still being discovered in the ruins this morning. the dead include children. as the fourth floor of the mall had featured a petting zoo, a skating rink and a play room. in fact, russia state news agency is reporting that the fire may have started in a foam rubber trampoline in that children's play room. cell phone video from inside the burning building shows rescue workers struggling in vain to break down an internal door. investigators believe that a security guard may have turned the fire alarm off when the blaze started and that access to the movie theater was blocked. >> very tragic story, thank you, elizabeth. the florida students behind the never again movement hope to build on the momentum created by their march for our lives protest over the weekend.

hundreds of thousands people gathered in washington and around the world to demonstrate against gun violence. adriana diaz has been following the stoneman douglas students. she's on capitol hill now with the latest on their story. >> reporter: good morning. the parkland students said their march here on washington was just the beginning. and now they want to turn their voices into votes. at marches nationwide this weekend, they registered 5,000 people to vote. many of them millmillennials. >> who here is going to vote in the 2018 election? >> reporter: an ocean of activists delivered their demands at top volume. >> the nra has got to go. >> we're sick and tired of waking up every day scared to go to school. >> reporter: the crowd was silenced for six minutes by marjory stoneman douglas student emma gonzalez. >> in a little over six minutes, 17 of our friends were taken from us. >> reporter: she and other core ogwin organizers appeared on face the

know, possible danger and definitely a whole lot of [ bleep ]. >> you know, there is a potential upside, financial upside, maybe someone will want you to write a book or go on a bigger tour and make more money. >> that's a lot of ifs. i could also get shunned. i mean i could automatically be alienating half of my fan base at this moment. >> the president tweeted this morning, so much fake news. never been more voluminous or inaccurate but throughout it all our country is doing great. his attorney michael cohen denies threatening daniels. a white house lawyer referred "60 minutes" to a january statement of denial signed by daniels. yet read in part my involvement with donald trump was limited to a few public appearances and nothing more. >> cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> can you help us under the end game here for stormy daniels and her attorney? because it would appear that she put herself in significant legal

jeopardy by speaking with "60 minutes"? >> there is no question that she put herself in significant legal jeopardy. right now, that contract, that nondisclosure agreement, is valid. and it remains valid unless or until an arbitrator or a judge declares it invalid. so by going forward knowing that she has signed a contract, for whatever reason she said she signed, by threat or because she wanted the money, doesn't matter, she still is under a contractual obligation not to talk, although she has legal arguments to say the contract is void. >> what effect could they have, number one, we're calling it an affair i learned on "60 minutes" that actually it was a one night stand. >> one night stand. >> it's a one night stand. she admit she is lied and you're saying it doesn't matter she felt bullied or felt threatend? couldn't that affect the legal proceedings for her? >> she says she felt threatened and her story is very compelling about the unknown man coming up

and threatening her and her child in a parking lot. but that threat or alleged threat, only means that that gave her a reason to say i was under fear and duress and signed the nondisclosure agreement. >> doesn't that matter? >> why you signed the nondisclosure agreement may be irrelevant once you've signed. her lawyer has said repeatedly the contract is not valid because donald trump didn't sign it. a judge or arbitrator may differ with that. a good argument for michael avenatti and stormy daniels is that michael cohen opened the door this year by speaking about it. one of the problems that has gone on not only with this situation but many situations that either involve donald trump or circle around donald trump, if there weren't -- if there was no talk, these issues would not surface. >> it's interesting you say that. just as michael avenatti was leaving the set he said we could depose the president within the next 60 days.

i said why. he said they made a pretty big legal blunder. >> well, i think that there are two things that michael avenatti is talking about. number one, he is saying that donald trump intervened in this procedure in california to renew the case to the federal court. they want it back in arbitration which by the way the agreement says it lives in arbitration. so he says by intervening, i'm donald trump, also known as david denison, that that's a legal blunder and put himself in the middle. whether or not it gets deposed within 60 days, may be an exaggeration. what we have to look at is a much bigger picture here. the question is are there violations that come out of this nondisclosure agreement and all of the surrounding brouhaha that may agreement an election violation. >> right. >> that is with the ftc. the person who could be in trouble for that is michael cohen as well as the campaign.

that issue may not go away, particularly if a special counsel -- >> that's what robert avenatti keeps saying not the one night stand but the cover-up that came after it. that's what we should focus on is salacious and interesting some people may find it to be. >> absolutely correct. we'll see where it goes. >> thank you. always good to have you here. >> thank you. facebook is warning its more than 2 billion users that their privacy may have been compromised by more third-party apps. u.s. and british newspapers yesterday for the leak of data from more than 50 million users to cambridge analytica. the ads said in part we expect there are others. vladimir duterte of our streaming network is here with the growing backlash. >> good morning. a new reuters poll finds 41% of americans trust facebook to obey u.s. privacy laws, compared to more than 60% for amazon and google and criticism of facebook is coming from tech titans like tim cook and elon musk and government officials.

>> mark zuckerberg didn't mention cambridge analytica by name, but it's clear the facebook ceo had it in mind when he took out the newspaper ads. i promise to do better for you, he said. we have a responsibility to protect your information. if we can't we don't deserve it. cambridge analytica, the british political consultsy firm, had improperly obtained personal data on some 50 million facebook users. >> that's a small piece. >> reporter: on "face the nation" mark warner called on zuckerberg to come clean about cambridge analytica which helped identify supporters for president donald trump's campaign and build targeted political ads. >> i think mr. zuckerberg needs to come and testify before congress, not just put an advertisement in a newspaper. >> reporter: zuckerberg who says he's willing to appear before congress also felt pressure from silicon valley. apple's ceo tim cook speaking in china said the situation was dire and welcomed more privacy protections. >> i think that probably some

well-crafted regulation is necessary, he said saturday. elon musk joined the #deletefacebook movement and took down the facebook pages for his company. tesla and spacex. >> it feels like a snowball effect. >> reporter: c-net editor dan ackerman said the controversy can't be ignored by apple, google and other tech companies that collect personal data. >> they won't just be able to say we'll try to do better next time and forget about it and move on to the next shiny tech story is. >> facebook is investigating all third-party apps that had access to huge amounts of user data and will ban apps that mishandled it. cambridge analytica said the data it purchased was deleted in 2015 and denies using it during the 2016 presidential election. >> this story is not going away. >> no. >> no. big deal. >> yeah. >> to be continued. your next business trip or getaway may introduce you to a new frontier in smart technology. >> inside this basement workshop in bethesda, marnds, this may

a friendship between greg smith, a self-described christian conservative and an immigrant from iran by confronting stereotypes. >> he said you go first. i said i have four initials for you. four letters. isis. i didn't have to say it clear. i said stop right there. he said my religion has been hijacked. i said you stop right there. mine has too. from that point on we were able to look for common ground. now we travel together. we eat together. we even pray together. >> despite what many people think americans are very united. we just need to demonstrate that in the country, and, unfortunately, only our differences are being portrayed. >> by the end of the evening the group found similarities were that they all wanted to protect their children and grandchild n grandchildren, and they all thought training for gun owners was essential. they also told us unanimously that the media were to blame for

the hyper partisanship in america. >> why do they feel that way, don? >> because they are in their own echo chambers, and these echo chambers blame each other, and what these -- this group does is it helps people see each other as human beings first. you might have political dise dissent, but you are human beings, and some of them came into this with stereotypes about each other. they thought all republicans were racist. they thought all democrats were just wanted to tax me until i didn't have anything left. they found that those stereotypes are not true. >> you got to get out of your echo chambers. that's judge it's so important to do stories like this where. >> we can all use a few more therapy sessions. thank you. all right, tiger woods wants to make his comeback complete at this year's masters. we have our toyota greenroom. after talking to more than 250 people, they have written the life story of tiger woods. ahead, how his troubles have brought him closer to many of his fans.

my name is jamir dixon and i'm a locate and mark fieldman for pg&e. most people in the community recognize the blue trucks as pg&e. my truck is something new... it's an 811 truck. when you call 811, i come out to your house and i mark out our gas lines and our electric lines to make sure that you don't

hit them when you're digging. 811 is a free service. i'm passionate about it because every time i go on the street i think about my own kids. they're the reason that i want to protect our community and our environment, and if me driving a that truck means that somebody gets to go home safer, then i'll drive it every day of the week. together, we're building a better california. championship the masters begins next week. tiger woods will be in it for the first time in three years. he's coming off a fifth place

finish with the arnold palmer this month. he's faced to face the challengers. >> the new biography "tiger woods" uncovers new information. it's published by simon and schuster, of cbs. the co-authors did 400 interviews with people close to woods. good morning. >> good morning. >> quite a bit of congratulations to both of you. arman, few people go by one name like tiger does. one of the greatest athletes on the planet transformed the golf game. what did you seek to learn about him? >> we tried to understand him. both the predominant question for both jeff and i was who is tiger woods. to understand tiger, you really have to go back to the beginning and to his grandparents, and that was the mission to take the whole arc of his life.

there were a number of books written about tiger but they were seg yeahed around different parts of his life. as you said, norah, he is probably one of the best athletes to walk the face of the earth. who is tiger woods and the other is price of fame. >> tell us about his parents and grandparents. >> earl and teta are a pair. >> on the one side e. for early the other side k. for ka tilda and literally surrounded by his parents for good and bad from birth, some would argue imprisoned be his parents. >> his mom, the ultimate tiger mom. and his dad. >> i was very judgmental of him. i thought he was eater eater pull chin cheater and i liked

elin. he to me was not likeable and i read the book and my heart changed. you put into con text what oprah said. it's not what are you doing. it's what happened to you. hecht's start with his parents. you tell a great story. from the time he was in the high chair his dad is hitting the ball, hitting the ball, and she's feeding him. when norah said ultimate tiger mom, his mom was the one who had the kill machine for him, jeff. >> yes. she comes to americaing doesn't speak much in the way of english. doesn't know much about the american culture. she marries a man who was married when he married her. >> who was also very unfaithful. >> very unfaithful. so from the very beginning she sort of swept into this situation in a relationship and in a country that's very foreign to her and then she has one child and when she has that child, it happens right when her

husband is taking up the sport of golf and he's basically living in the gralk when he's not at work and the baby starts coming in and sitting in the highchair watching his dad hit golf balls. so for her to have time with her son, she sits next to him in the high chair and in between hits puts food in his mouth, gerber baby food or whatever it is. to me if you look at the formation of this young man it all starts right there. >> you write tiger's in ability to express gratitude or apologize or show appreciation had to do with his upbringing. his mother pampered him like a prince, his forever never said sorry. >> his parents felt they were entitled. there were certain things about tiger he just had and there were other parts of him that i think were taught to him.

there was no question, he has talent that was got given. he was born with certain abilities that were honed by the way he was raised. but once they got out on the circuit as a junior golfer and the equivalent of little league and peewee golf for tournaments, he's crushing everyone and his dad expected when they went to people's homes and tournaments, they were the best and should be tweeted that way. he never saw that. >> his dad predicted at an early age he would be picked as the best. >> the chosen one. imagine that on your shoulders growing up. >> but the way he treated him, he was very disparaging of him. he put him down. they had a code word between them if it got to be too much, say enough. >> he never said it. >> no matter how bad it got. >> that was interesting. last year tiger wrote his own book and he talked about that language that his father used which as a parent -- i have two

sons and two daughters. when i read that language, i thought, wow, i can't imagine speaking that way to one of my children and expecting there that's going to make them do better. tiger looks back on that now and says it helped make him who he is on the golf course. >> this is a guy who at his peak journalists routinely complained his remouth was untouchable, unaccessible. has that changed? >> yes, i think it has. i think it started when he found himself on the side of a road in florida with one helluva cocktail and opioids in his system. it's not just because of his kids but because he's spiritually healthy and emotionally healthy for the first time in his life. >> why? >> i this i what happened on florida road was a complete wake

1yu7 call for him and i think now he sees his children, he does not want to have the life he had with his parents for his kids. >> and you say -- what did you about whether he's used performance enhancing drugs. >> there's a chapter called miracle workers i worked a long time on. it has the most definitive statement to date. the most inform it statement to date. he says he does not believe tiger used performance enhancing drugs. >> perfect time. i doubt tiger would read this book, but he should. it should be helpful and enlightening to him. it's very, very done and just in time for the masters. look at that. thank you. you can hear more of "cbs this morning" on our podcasts, itunes, and apple podcasts. we'l

good morning, time is 8:57. we continue to track slowdowns for drivers heading along 101 through the north bay. it's in that southbound direction, and we had an earlier crash. they have just cleared that. it's no longer blocking lanes. traffic backed up along 101. you can see it object left of

your screen. that's as you're approaching 580. that accident really slowing things down, and then it continues to back things up well beyond roland, a 35 minute ride to get down towards 580. speaking of 580, the richmond- san rafael bridge, 12 minutes across the span, and if you're going across the golden gate bridge, traffic is moving well in both directions. let's check in with emily now on the forecast. it is nice and beautiful outside, clear skies. taking a live look out, you can see the transamerica pyramid and not a cloud in the sky. in san francisco right now, your temperature 46 degrees. livermore getting out of the 30s, you're 43. 48 in concord, 47 in santa rosa. your temperatures today mostly in the 60s. 66 in concord, 63 san rafael, 62 san francisco and san jose up to 65. here is a look at your seven- day forecast. look at that, nice sunny weather to look forward to all week before a few clouds clear out on saturday. we'll be mostly in the 70s. be sure you keep those sunglasses out all week. no fire fighting is a very dangerous profession.

we have one to two fires a day and when you respond together and you put your lives on the line, you do have to surround yourself with experts. and for us the expert in gas and electric is pg&e. we run about 2,500/2,800 fire calls a year and on almost every one of those calls pg&e is responding to that call as well. and so when we show up to a fire and pg&e shows up with us it makes a tremendous team during a moment of crisis. i rely on them, the firefighters in this department rely on them, and so we have to practice safety everyday. utilizing pg&e's talent and expertise in that area trains our firefighters on the gas or electric aspect of a fire and when we have an emergency situation we are going to be much more skilled and prepared to mitigate that emergency for all concerned. the things we do every single day that puts ourselves in harm's way, and to have a partner that is so skilled at what they do is indispensable, and i couldn't ask for a better partner.
