7:04 am
everything he could di >> president trump's attorney rudy giuliani told fox news that he doesn't believe the president's financial disclosures are a liability. >> we're very comfortable with it and we think it vindicates our original strategy. also vindicates the fact mueller should bring this to a close. >> president trump has previously denied knowledge of the payment. >> did you know about the $130,000 payment to stormy daniels? do you know where she got the money to make that payment? >> no, i don't know. >> earlier this month, giuliani first revealed to fox news the president paid cohen back. >> some stormy daniels woman, 130,000, i mean, which is going to turn out to be perfectly legal. >> brendan fisher works as a bipartisan watchdog campaign legal center. >> president trump's financial disclosure report is effectively an admission that $130,000 in debt was omitted from last year's report, failing to report a debt on a report like this is a violation of federal law. >> along with the financial disclosures form, the office of

7:06 am
raises more and more questions. paula, thank you. well, one year ago today, robert mueller was appointed to lead the investigation of russian meddling into the 2016 election. the senate intelligence committee said yesterday it agrees with the u.s. intelligence community's assessment that russia acted in part to help trump win the gop nomination. nancy cordes on capitol hill with the report that's put committee republicans on opposite sides from their counterparts in the house. >> reporter: good morning. after 14 months of investigating this, the senate intelligence committee says that unlike its house counterpart, it sees no reason to doubt the intelligence community's assessment from 2016. as mark warner, the top democrat on the senate intelligence committee put it, russia's election interference was ordered by president putin himself for the purpose of helping donald trump and hurting hillary clinton. now, this is at odds with the house intelligence committee,
7:07 am
which said back in march that it concurs with the rest of the intelligence community's assessment. except with respect to putin's supposed preference for candidate trump. they believe that he simply wanted to shake up the u.s. election system. a conclusion that president trump liked a lot better. yesterday, a separate senate committee released transcripts of its interview with donald trump jr., in part regarding his june 2016 trump tower meeting with a russian lawyer. trump jr. confirmed to the committee he was interested in dirt on hillary clinton, but didn't think that there was anything wrong with attending that meeting. his explanation, however, conflicts with his initial description of the meeting over a year ago, when he said that it was simply set up to discuss russian adoption. norah. >> all right, nancy, thank you. manageghan markle confirms father will not attend her wedding to prince harry.

7:13 am
police arrested him today for an unregistered explosive device but not for the explosion here itself. >> hopefully authorities solve this soon, jamie, thank you. a school resource officer's being praised for stopping a shooting at an illinois high school. officer mark dallas confronted 19-year-old matthew millby when he allegedly opened fire in the hallway at dixon high school yesterday. police say he was taken into custody after being wounded in an exchange of gunfire with dallas. milby's injuries are described as not life threatening. no one else was injured. students tell cbs news the officer had two children who attend the high school. michigan state university will pay $500 million to settle claims from survivors of the biggest sex assault case in sports history. 332 women sued michigan state for allegedly ignoring complaints about disgraced former doctor larry nassar. he abused female gymnasts and other athletes for decades.

7:16 am
it's been about getting to the truth and holding responsible individuals and institutions accountable. >> jon, thanks. well, beyond that in this case. >> i think that's an important point that jon makes. the victims have said this is really, too, about michigan accepting responsibility. it's such a large payment but in so many way it's accepting responsibility for ignoring this abuse for decades. >> it's a message to other schools to address these issues right away too. >> that's exactly right, you're on the hook for this. be on the lookout for this. geologists warn that hawaii's kilauea volcano might be primed for explosive new eruptions. huge rocks from recent eruptions were scattered hundreds of yards away. aerial video also shows lava coming from the most active fissure. david is in pahoa, hawaii. >> reporter: good morning. that roar coming from behind me is one of the 21 fissures that has opened up here on the island
