comey says he wrote those memos after conversations with president trump between january and april of 2017. >> i'm sure the special counsel's considering my recollection of those events, which are reflected in these memos. >> reporter: comey said last night that he believes the memos are pertinent to the russia investigation. the first was sent to top fbi officials the day after his first briefing with president elect trump. comey writes that he typed the notes immediately upon exiting trump tower, where he had briefed mr. trump alone, warning him that the russians allegedly had tapes involving him and prostitutes. comey writes that president trump interjected about that trip to moscow, there were no prostitutes. on january 28th, comey writes that he had dinner with president trump in the green room at the white house. comey remembered the dinner conversation being pleasant at all times and chaotic. >> the purpose of the dinner was for him to extract from me a promise of loyalty. he said, i expect loyalty, i

need loyalty. and i just stared at him. and had this little narrative with myself inside saying, don't you move, don't you dare move, don't even blink. >> reporter: comey says during that now infamous dinner, president trump appeared to have reservations about then national security adviser michael flynn. saying the guy has serious judgment issues. >> i was concerned that i needed a recommend to show the other intelligence agency chiefs who had been with me but didn't stay behind for the second private meeting, and i also was worried i was meeting a lone with the president. >> reporter: comey kept notes of his conversations with the president and even chief of staff reince priebus who asked comey if he had a fisa order on mike flynn. by then, investigators knew flynn had lied about his contact with the russian ambassador kislyak. after flynn had been fired, comey says the president asked if he could see your way clear to letting this go, to letting

flynn go. also, cbs news confirmed that the white house has been informed the president is not a target in the investigation into his personal attorney michael cohen. deputy attorney rod rosenstein informed white house officials of that, including white house counsel don mcgahn. norah. >> we also learned yesterday that rudy you'giuliani is going join president trump's personal legal team. he wants to negotiate an end to this. does that mean trump will sit down for an interview? >> well, we'll have to see. the negotiations as far as we know have broken down. but we know that rudy giuliani is a former federal prosecutor. he says he has a relationship with mueller. he can negotiate an end a couple of weeks. >> these memos, an extraordinary

window into that period in the trump presidency. james comey writes there was no questions about flynn's judgment as his national security adviser. remember, obama had warned him about flynn and also chris christ christie, who was head of the transition. >> he still allowed him to come on board. interesting to hear he was having some kind of second thoughts. >> that's right. lois rece is suspected of killing her husband in minnesota and a woman in florida, then allegedly stealing the woman's identity. reiss was arrested last night on south padre island in texas. vladimir duthiers shows us how the four-week nationwide search ended. >> reporter: she's believed to be in debt and stealing at least $11,000 from her husband's bank account. law enforcement officials even gave her a nickname, losing streak lois. after a month on the run, her luck finally ran out.

newly released surveillance video shows lois at an iowa gas station the same day her husband david was found shot to death in their minnesota home. she buys a sandwich. then asks the cashier for directions. >> if you want to start heading south, would you take 35 south, just to keep going on down to the next state? >> reporter: on april 5th, she popped up roughly 1,300 miles away in ft. myers beach, florida. there, she was seen chatting with pamela hutchinson, who police say she killed four days later. >> miss hutchinson was targeted by the suspect due to the similarities in their appearance. >> reporter: police say reiss used hutchinson's identification and was spotted at a florida hotel driving her white accbeia. then sightings in louisiana, texas, until she was arrested thursday on south padre island,

27 miles from the mexico border. pamela hutchinson's cousin was overwhelmed with the news of the capture. >> i'm sorry, i don't mean to get upset, but this is a relief. this is a relief. this is the closure we need. >> reporter: reiss spent thursday night at a jail on south padre island. law enforcement from minnesota and florida are headed to texas to coordinate the next steps in the investigation, gayle. >> glad she's in custody, thank you very much. a small county in north florida is morning the loss of two sheriff's deputies in a double murder. officials say a gunman ambushed the officers yesterday while they were just sitting and having launch. 29-year-old sergeant noel ramirez and 25-year-old taylor lindsay and the man who apparently shot them were all found dead at the scene. don dahler is here with the investigation of this still unexplained attack. a lot of questions here, good morning. >> a lot of questions, good morning. the gilchrest county sheriff offices has only 27 deputies.

so the loss of these two officers is deeply felt. the sheriff describes their county as a family and says they will honor the fallen deputies by doing what they do best, serving and protecting their community. >> sergeant ramirez and deputy lindsey were the best of the best. >> reporter: sheriff bobby shultz was emotional as he reflected on the fallen officers. >> if you ever seen sergeant ramirez smile, infectious. they don't need to be remembered strictly for their untimely death deaths, but remembered for the type of people they are. >> reporter: ramirez and lindsey were eating lunch in downtown trenden, florida, when police say john hubert highnote fired at them through a window. deputies arrived at the scene to find the officers dead inside the restaurant and the suspect dead outside. the sheriff called the alleged gunman a coward but would not say he how died.

>> what to you expect happens when you demonize law enforcement to the extent that it's been demonized. >> reporter: the sheriff says the motive is unclear but thinks they were targeted because of their uniforms. >> the only thing these men were guilty of was wanting to protect you and me. i can sit here in front of all of you and tell you that i loved them. and i'm proud to have been their sheriff. >> sergeant ramirez leaves hundreded a wife and two young children. deputy lindsey leaves behind a girlfriend. officers haven't said much about the alleged gunman but we know he has a criminal history date back to 1978 when he was charged with carrying a concealed firearm. that case was dismissed. state officials are supporting gilchrest county with protective patrols as they investigate this attack. >> you were telling us during the piece that they never stood a chance, which makes it even more egregious that they could have been killed just because they're wearing a uniform.

>> we don't know if there's any kind of connection between the officers and the man who killed them at all. >> thank you, don. >> reminder, the bravery, what it takes just when you put on the uniform. >> that's right, good point. southwest airlines starting inspecting engines in its fleet of boeing 737s, the type of plane involved in this week's deadly explosion. the ultrasonic tests are checking for possible cracks in the metal fan bralades. that caused the engine to break apart. kris van cleave is here with more details about the scary 22 minute ordeal. >> reporter: good morning. on capitol hill there are growing calls for hearings and investigations following the accident. southwest is now confirming its giving passengers on this flight $5,000 and this morning, we're getting a look at the terrifying moment, heroic actions inside the damaged 737. we've noticed a troubling pattern of passengers unprepared for what to do during an emergency in the sky.

moments after the 737s engine exploded, sending sha republira through the window, passengers rushed to help the injured and dying. >> i'm proud of him. this is a calling that he has and he did amazing. >> reporter: stephanie was on board southwest flight 1380. her husband andrew, a firefighter from texas, knew something was wrong seven rows behind him. >> i looked at her eyes and she basically gave me the approval to go back there. i moved to act as well as other people on that plane. tim mcginny, he was the -- he was my big guy, had my back. >> reporter: fellow texan tim mcdidnm mcdidn'ty who was traveling with his wife helped reardon pull jennifer back inside the plane. she was nearly sucked out that shattered cabin window. the mother of two did not survive. >> the force of the wind, it was just impossible for him alone to pull her back in. there was nothing we could do to help. nothing he could do to save her. we just feel for them because i

know they're grieving. >> everybody, breathe, we are almost landing. >> reporter: after the engine failure, pictures show many passengers incorrectly wearing their oxygen masks which deployed after a rapid drop in cabin pressure. the masks are meant to be worn over both your mouth and nose. >> we give instructions about what to do when that mask drops. >> reporter: the president of the association of flight attendants says many passengers ignore preflight safety instructions. >> we're not just there to serve you a coke. we're actually there and required to be on the plane because we have certain safety functions that we have to perform to keep the passengers in our care safe. >> nelson says two-thirds of safety briefings are now given on video and she believes that can lead some flyers to think it's the start of an in flight movie so fewer people pay attention. as they tell you and as described here in the safety card, there is a way to put on the mask. it needs to go over your nose and mouth. and there's a reason you want to wear it like this. because if you depressurize in the plane and your nose is here,

you're going to be sucking in air that there's not enough oxygen in that air. you're going to still pass out in as little as 30 seconds. >> i'm just looking at you right now, it doesn't even fit snugly around. there's a whole area here. see that? >> there's no nose cutout to guide you. kris, most people never read this card -- >> you know what, take 30 seconds and look that the before you get on a -- before you take off. or right now go watch one of the videos on youtube. in other words, if you're too busy at the beginning of the flight, you can figure this out beforehand. >> in these situations, people are going to panic. so you want to have it just almost second hand and if it means 30 seconds to where the exits are or count the number of rows to the exit and just remember it goes over like this. >> they're going to read this -- >> or how about paying attention to the flight attendant, how about that? thank you very much, kris. good to have you at the table. it's very important stuff. investigators say they may never know who provided prince with counterfeit drugs that caused his death. a minnesota prosecutor said no

charges will be filed in the death of music icon two years ago. he accidentally overdosed on fentanyl. jamie yuccas is at prince's paisley park estate, that's outside minneapolis. >> reporter: good morning. prosecutors released a trove of pictures and video showing the singer's final days. along with his struggle with painkillers. investigators say there is no evidence to suggest that the druggings th dr drugs that killed prince were prescribed by a doctor. >> we simply do not have sufficient evidence to charge anyone with a crime related to prince's death. >> reporter: the county prosecutor says it's unclear how prince obtained the counterfeit vicodin laced with fentanyl which led to his death. investigators released video recorded inside paisley park, the day prince died. pill bottles were recovered from multiple parts of the mansion. >> there is no evidence that any person associated with prince knew prince possessed any counterfeit pills containing

fentanyl. >> reporter: prosecutors also released surveillance video showing prince entering this clinic with his friend kirk johnson the day before his death. shulenburg agreed to pay $30,000 to settle a federal civil case in which authorities allege he wrote prince's prescriptions out to johnson to protect the musician's privacy. shulenberg's attorney says his client denies any such liability and he did not prescribe opiates to any patient with the intention that they be given to prince. >> because prince was an intensely private person, he was certainly associated and enabled by others to obtain some of these medications. >> reporter: prince's cousin says the family is very disappointed no one is being held responsible for his death. >> somebody helped take the brother out in my opinion. >> reporter: you want somebody to pay for it? >> i want somebody to pay for it, whether you accidentally did it or not. >> reporter: text messages released between dr. shulenberg and johnson show the two were concerned about the singer's well being. johnson's attorney says that his

client denies any wrongdoing in his close friend's death and that the prosecutor's decision to not file charges affirms his innocence. thousands of people in houston are expected to pay their respects to former first lady barbara bush today. she will lie in repieose at st. martin's episcopal church. her funeral will be held there on saturday. bianna golodryga spoke with the st. martin's director about the service. >> barbara, was she part of the preparations for this service? >> oh, absolutely. yes, there was not a lot of back and forth. there's not much of that with barbara. she would ask, is this appropria appropriate? the lessons, the music, the liturgy itself, are all things she looked at and the last hymn that we'll sing as we leave, barbara's choice, is "joyful, joyful, we adore thee." >> four former presidents, the

clintons, obama and the bushes, will attend the funeral. >> about 7 in 10 pot use nete u colorado say they sometimes drive high. why law enforcement says it's

this spring appears to be no exception. but as we look at the trees in new york central park, is that really the case? those look like some cherry blossoms. ahead, how

♪ in our "morning rounds," spring is here, and it is

predicted to be another tough season for allergy sufferers. with warming temperatures, the spring weather is arriving up to 20 days earlier this year in the west and south. one study finds pollen counts have been rising every year since 2000. they will be more than double that year's level in 2040. more than 26 million americans have reported suffering from seasonal allergies and so our dr. tara narula is here to help us out. >> hi, john. good morning. happy spring. >> happy spring maybe. is it just going to be awful, and why? >> the misery you're feeling and it seems to keep increasing every year. you're not imagining that. the climate and the weather has an impact on the start, the duration and intensity of allergy season. with global warming, last year was one of the hottest on record and increased carbon dioxide emissions. thus all fuels the growth of plants which means more pollen, earlier pollen and pollen that stays around longer. in 2000, about 8,000 pollen

grains per meter cubed. in 2040 it's projected to be around 20,000. >> wow. >> so explain to those physiologically what happens. the pollen causes and effects these allergies. >> essentially it's a mix of the environment and your exposure and genetics. we're constantly scanning the environment for threats. in people predisposed to allergies, it makes them pick up on pollen as an allergen, as some sort of intruder. you sound the alarm and mount an attack. you generate antibodies but that then bind to certain cells that release these mediators that cause you to sneeze, produce mucus, cause your blood vessels to dilate in an effort to get rid of what the body thinks is very, very harmful. >> where does it even come from, pollen. >> where does pollen come from? it comes from trees in the early spring. from grasses in the late spring and summer and weeds and it all goes back to grade school science. it's part of the reproductive system of plants. the male part of the flowering

plant the stamen produces the pollen. the pollen grains need to get to the females to make seeds. the wind or insects move those pollen grains. >> so the men are chasing the women with their seeds. >> it's all about the sexual reproduction process. >> men are to blame again. what do we do other than host a show from some beach somewhere for the next few months? >> not a bad idea. but the best idea is to start the process of dealing with allergies ahead of time. about two weeks before, start counting your over-the-counter or prescription medses. develop a plan. there are allergy shots and medicines you can take, immuno therapy. but also change your lifestyle. stay indoors during peak hours, 5:00 to 10:00 a.m. also change your clothes, wash your sheets, use the air conditioner. >> thank you, tara. meghan markle's sorority
