but i'm told that he is not cooperating because he is banking on a presidential pardon to help spare him any jail time. also, the president's personal attorney could likely face charges in new york on a separate case, but is also expected not to flip on the president. so he too could be rewarded with a presidential pardon.

but jeff, presidential pardons only spare you federal jail time and don't protect you from anything filed by the states. >> all right, paula reid, as the rains continue to roll in in d.c., paula thanks. in tennessee the hunt for the accused killer of a sheriff's deputy intensified today west of nashville. reward money now totals $35,000. the body of sergeant daniel baker was driven to a funeral home with a police escort. officers and civilians paid their respects as that motorcade passed by today. mark strassmann is following the search for the suspect. >> reporter: in the search for a cop killer investigators say their focus is 31-year-old steven wiggins and add that he's real trouble, with a decade of violent crime behind him. dickson county sheriff daniel baker was gunned down responding to a call about a suspicious car. police identified wiggins as the gunman from the sergeant's body camera. >> anyone who might see this individual, call 911. done try to approach him.

he is armed and dangerous. >> reporter: when baker's police radio went silent, deputies grew worried. they used gps to track down his cruiser and found his body inside it two miles from the original traffic stop. detectives say 38-year-old erika castro-miles was in the suspicious car with wiggins and she saw him shoot and kill baker. they also say castro-miles told them wiggins had been smoking meth all night after beating her up and stealing her car. she was found hiding under a house and charged with first-degree murder. >> this hits a little closer to home. this is a little more personal. >> reporter: we caught up with captain mark elwood, helping direct the aerial search for wiggins. >> terrain is very rough out there. a lot of creeks, a lot of hills. it's heavily treed. a lost underbrush. the guys on the ground are having a tough time walking and moving through the area out there. >> he could be anywhere. >> he could be anywhere. >> reporter: sheriff jeff bledsoe told me he knows sergeant baker's cruiser was

moved two miles but he's not ready to talk about it. jeff, he's also seen the sergeant's body camera video and he says it's disturbing. >> mark strassmann in tennessee as the search continues tonight. mark, thanks. coming up next, a tv comic unleashes a crude attack on the president's daughter but is not fired. some ask is there a double these birds once affected by oil

comedian samantha bee apologized today for calling ivanka trump a four-letter word, acknowledging she had crossed the line. there were some calls for tbs to do what abc did to roseanne barr. tonight some sponsors are pulling their ads from bee's show, "full frontal." more now from vladimir duthiers. >> welcome to "full frontal." i am snangt bee. >> reporter: the comment came during samantha bee's monologue about the trump administration separating immigrant children and their parents at the border. >> ivanka trump, who works at the white house, chose to post the second most oblivious tweet we've seen this week. >> reporter: bee was referring to a tweet the president's daughter posted about her son. just as the parent-child separation issue was gaining traction. >> you know, ivanka, that's a beautiful photo of you and your child. but let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad's immigration practices, you feckless [ bleep ]. he listens to you. >> reporter: the c word was

censored on the air but not online. bee's remarks immediately drew references to a recent tweet from actress roseanne barr comparing former obama o'o. fishel vallie jarrett to an ape, resulting in the swift chanceation of barr's top-rated sitcom. in a statement white house press secretary sarah sanders called bee's language vile and vicious, adding "her disgusting comments and show are not fit for broadcast." >> welcome back to the show. rpt. >> reporter: two sponsors today dropped their ads on the show. >> it is the worst word you can call a woman. >> reporter: while some conservatives question whether there was a double standard. >> there has to be a policy here where it's not one person says something heinous and disgusting and they lose their job, another person at another network says something heinous and disgusting and they somehow keep their job and potentially get promoted. that doesn't make sense. >> reporter:fleischer, a former white house press secretary under george w. bush, tweeted "can anyone imagine how nuts the mainstream media would be if a conservative republican

called nancy pelosi a feckless c word? the outrage would be instant and overwhelming." >> we should know the samantha bee show airs on tbs and is recorded at a cbs studio in new york. in a statement today bee apologized to ivanka trump and her viewers saying what she did was "inappropriate and inexcusable. i crossed the line and i deeply regret it." >> so vlad, what about tbs in all of this? >> so there are some that are calling on the company to cancel her show. just as abc pulled roseanne barr's show. we all remember that. but bee said she apologized. tbs says she was right to apologize and there is no further action taken at this point, jeff. >> okay, vlad, thank you. still ahead, anatomy of a murder that wasn't. the journalist who fakes his death tells all.

sears announced today it's closing 63 more stores. the 125-year-old retailer survived two world wars and a depression, but it's been suffering steep losses and shrinking sales. sears has closed about 400 stores in the past year. after this round about 800 will remain. new details tonight of the faked murder of a russian journalist. arkady babchenko says ukrainian authorities used makeup and pig's blood. they also shot holes in one of his sweatshirts and drove him to the morgue. it was all a ruse to break up a contract hit allegedly arranged by russia. some critics say the hoax undermines journalists' credibility. babchenko replied, asking, "what would you do in my miss?" for a youth football squad teamwork off the field made all the difference. look at that. the boise, idaho black knights were traveling through oregon when they saw a jeep flip over. players 14 and under and their coaches then jumped into action, rescuing a man. but a woman remained trapped.

one player cut her seat belt. then they all pushed and pushed, raising that jeep just enough so the woman could be pulled to safety. amazing. at the ballpark in detroit last night a fan caught a foul that dropped into the stands. it all began when a canadian goose landed on the field, leading to a classic wild goose chase. that was followed by a fly, high and deep. and look out, the goose forgot to duck, went down. the fan turned out to be a veterinarian. she gets an assist, if you're scoring. the crowd got the good news eventually that the goose was okay, and they were happy. up next, another good story. celebrating the birth of a soldier's baby.

we end tonight with a reminder of the sacrifices military families make. it is the story of daddy's little girl. while stationed overseas u.s. army specialist chris harris received the best news from his

wife, britfaechlt, a special handmade onesie that said "chris, you're going to be a dad." one week later the father-to-be was killed when a suicide bomber attacked his convoy. since he wouldn't be with his daughter in person for the many milestones in her life, chris's wife turned to what her late husband considered his extended family, his army brothers. >> my boy harris, we're going to do it for him. we're going to see what kind of baby he's going to have. >> reporter: she sent to afghanistan confetti for the family to take part in the gender reveal. >> three, two, one! [ cheers ] >> reporter: it was a girl. chris harris's family seems as excited as any parent would be. named after her dad, christian michelle harris was born in march. the same day chris's brothers returned from their tour of duty. >> baby girl. >> reporter: and the brothers saw for themselves when they were included in a photo shoot with the baby. in one stunning image they form a circle with their palms in the

center, christian looking up. they cradle her just as their brother would. in this picture christian wears another onesie.

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news > hi, everyoneand welcome to the "overnight news." i'm demarco morgan. fast-moving lava is threatening to trap a community in hawaii by cutting off the last evacuation route. scientists say the lava flow is getting hotter, more fluid, and faster, covering about six football fields in an hour. tension is also boiling over among residents. video shows a man pulling a gun on his neighbor and firing in his direction during an argument. no one was hit. carter evans is in pahoa. >> reporter: just look at this. this is the most active eruption behind me right now. we've been watching it go like this for days. at times it was blasting lava up

to 250 feet into the air. and today authorities are issuing a new evacuation warning for this area, telling people to get out now. the massive amount of lava in leilani estates is spreading fast. in some places the length of a football field every ten minutes. and at temperatures of 2,000 derees geologists say that's as hot as it gets. >> the scientific aspect of this is fascinating, but it's tempered hugely by the fact that this is a neighborhood and people have lost homes. >> reporter: 75 have been destroyed so far. take a look at the orange glow on that house. this is leilani estates at night. and i'll show you the source of all of that light. it's that 200-foot fountain of lava behind me. inside the evacuation zone -- [ gunshots ] -- tensions are high. >> i live here! >> reporter: 61-year-old john hubbard is accused of opening fire and assaulting a neighbor

who came back to check on his property. >> stress is high. anxiety is high. you see strange people in their subdivision, they're trying to protect stuff. it's a hard time for those folks that are still in there. >> reporter: meanwhile, workers are digging a new evacuation route. lava has already overrun the main road, highway 132, leaving people in about 500 homes and vacation rentals with just one escape route left. if the flows cross highway 137, there would be no way out. the national guard has helicopters on standby just in case. >> we want those people to leave. we don't want to have first responders and national guardsmen or marines in helicopters putting their lives at risk to rescue them. >> reporter: this is the eruption that forced 2,000 people from their homes. about 400 of those are still in emergency shelters. it's not clear how many people remain inside the evacuation area. but authorities want to make it clear, if they need help athey may not be able to respond. newly released body cam

video shows what led to the violent arrest of a young mother at a beach on the jersey shore. it happened over the memorial day weekend. wildwood police say the 20-year-old was drinking and refused to cooperate. video shows two officers pinning her down while one of them punched her in the head. here's jericka duncan. >> reporter: those officers involved have been reassigned but are reportedly fully trained part-time officers used during the busy beach season. weinman said on facebook she was at the beach with her daughter and some friends saturday and that she had not been drinking when her confrontation with police began. >> take a deep breath and blow into that, all right? >> reporter: body cam video shows officers asking emily weinman to take a breathalyzer test after the 20-year-old was seen with alcoholic drinks. >> we're going to have them pour all that out. >> reporter: later police attempt to cite her for possession of alcohol on the beach. >> i didn't disrespect you. >> okay. >> and i -- you don't need to write my name. >> reporter: but weinman appears to not cooperate. >> what's your last name? >> you don't need my last name.

>> okay. i'm done with you. do you have cuffs on you? >> the officers appear to approach her. >> don't touch me. >> you're about to get dropped. >> reporter: during the attempted arrest weinman appears to reach out and push the officer before the camera cuts out. >> they're choking me! >> reporter: when the video comes back, the officer is on top of weinman with his arm on her neck. he then appears to swing his arm and hit her repeatedly. a moment apparently captured in this now widely shared cell phone video showing an officer punching weinman in the head. as she's being handcuffed, weinman appears to spit at one of the officers. later the officers can be heard explaining their version of the events. >> she tried kicking at us. we slammed her on the ground. she kicked him. and then i just -- i hit her a couple times. >> weinman now faces several charges including two counts of aggravated assault on a police officer. her attorney released a statement saying in part these videos coupled with the

bystander video show the officers involved overreacted to a situation which had no elements of violence. roseanne barr is defending herself on twitter after a tweet that many felt was racist got her hit show canceled. barr compared a former adviser to president obama valerie jarrett to an ape. the actress initially said the tweet was indefensible and begged for forgiveness. now barr claims she thought jarrett was white and is hitting back at her critics. here's vladimir duthiers. >> well, at least norman bates respected his mother. >> reporter: the day after abc pulled the plug on her number one show over a racist tweet roseanne barr returned to twitter with a vengeance. barr, a prominent supporter of president trump, retweeted an image questioning why some people think it's okay to ridicule him as an ape but not valerie jarrett. "i thought she was white," she wrote. "i am not a racist. i'm tired of being smeared over

a mistake erasing 30 years of activism." barr who is jewish then the went on to say she was the victim. "i think i spent the last 24 hours watching the party of diversity, inclusion, understanding and acceptance lynch a jew." >> that's drywall, son. >> reporter: john goodman, who plays roseanne's tv husband, stayed above the fray, seen in this footage obtained by "entertainment tonight." >> i would rather say nothing. it's going to cause more trouble. >> reporter: on wednesday mr. trump waded into the controversy, complaining disney ceo bob iger never apologized for horrible statements made about him on disney's networks. press secretary sarah sanders. >> where was bob iger's apology to the white house staff for jemele hill calling the president and anyone associated with him a white supremacist? >> reporter: disney slash nbc television group president ben sherwood defended the decision to dump barr telling his staff "in the end it came down to doing what's right." >> so here we go again. >> reporter: on abc's "the view" whoopi goldberg criticized barr

for retweeting this fake image of goldberg wearing an offensive anti-trump shirt. >> just because you were caught with your pants down don't try to drag other people down with you. >> reporter: comparing black people to monkeys and apes is a racist caricature that dates back hundreds of years. barr appeared to blame her use of that language on ambien. sanofi, the company that makes the sleep drug, responded to barr saying racism is not a known side effect. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. melatonin is the body's own sleep ingredient.

the race to take wireless service to the next level is picking up speed. 5g is getting closer to reality. it's expected to be up to 100 times faster than current data speeds. but the technology requires antennas to be much closer to users than before. that's raising some serious concerns. here's tony dokoupil. >> reporter: at a lab in new york verizon invited us to meet some of the entrepreneurs developing tools to run on the next generation of wireless technology. how important is 5g to your mission? >> the 5g is extremely important. >> reporter: jonathan reeves demonstrated his product, rvisio. >> as you move around, the

object stays fixed in space. >> look at that. that's amazing. >> reporter: allowing users in different locations to interact with 3-d images projected through a lens. >> today we can do this using wi-fi technology and we can do it using landline technology. but then of course you're then tied to particular locations. with 5g now we can begin to extend this. so we can actually begin to start doing this on building sites. we can srt doing it on the factory floor. so it really opens up a whole new world. >> reporter: but before this world can become a reality this one needs to change. 5g requires the installation of new equipment across the u.s. >> so this pole here is 5g. this is the future right here. >> you got it. >> reporter: every wireless company's working to build its own 5g network. melissa arnoldi leads at&t's efforts. >> if you don't already have one of these in your neighborhood, they're coming. >> that's absolutely right. they're coming. >> reporter: she says 5g uses high frequency waves that support faster speeds. but don't travel as far as current wireless frequencies.

so instead of relying on large cell phone towers spread far apart they need snamall cell sis that are much closer together. >> we're going to use our existing infrastructure. whether it's light poles. whether it's street lights. we're going to make sure we don't make it obtrusive to our customers. >> some don't share the enthusiasm. >> they're called small cell towers but they're not so small when they're in your front yard. >> reporter: donna baron is protesting plans to convert light poles poles in her montgomery county, maryland neighborhood into small cell sites. >> this will cause cancer. >> reporter: she was one of several people who raised health concerns at a government hearing last month. >> this stuff is untested on kids. >> their safety is not certain. >> these untested technologies are at this time not ready to be unleashed into our lives. >> reporter: cell phone equipment emits radiation, but research on its health effects has been inconsistent. according to the national cancer institute a limited number of studies have shown some evidence of statistical association of

cell phone use and brain tumor risk but most studies have found no association. >> if you lose this fight and a pole goes in right here, are you going to move? >> possibly. >> reporter: either way, baron says she fears property values could plummet when 5g equipment pops up. >> if a tower goes up right there, what's going to happen to the value of that home? >> it could drop 20%. >> reporter: and not only for this house. >> right. for that house, that house, that house. and then pretty soon you go around the curve and there's another cell tower. they're all through this neighborhood. so it's going to devastate the neighborhood. >> reporter: arnoldi insists her workers are focused on safety, pointing out they live and work near this equipment too. >> do you have any 5g antennae in your neighborhood yet? >> no. not yet. i'm waiting for it. i'm waiting for it. it's coming soon, though. >> i'm guessing from your reaction you're very comfortable with it rolling out in your neck of i'm alex trebek, here to tell you

a scientific breakthrough could revolutionize medicine and possibly cure genetic diseases. it's called crispr, a gene editing tool that's given scientists the power to easily edit dna. the discovery has unlocked tremendous potential and excitement. bill whitaker shows us how it works in a story for "60

minutes." >> this is crispr. >> this has crispr in it. >> so this is what's revolutionizing science and biomedicine. >> this is what many people are using in research and trying to develop treatments. >> that's wild. >> yeah. >> reporter: that little vial is igniting a big revolution that is likely to change the way doctors treat disease in the future. one of the brains behind it is babyfaced fong shang. at 36 he's already a tenured professor at m.i.t. and a scientific celebrity because he figured out a way to override human genetic instructions using crispr. ? sought crispr is not the liquid. the crispr -- >> it's dissolved in the liquid. there are probably billions of moll kooulgz of crispr. >> billions. in here. >> that's right. and we use the liquid to apply it. >> it's very exciting actually.

>> reporter: for the last seven years shung has been working on crispr at the broad institute in cambridge, massachusetts. it's a research mecca brimming with some of the brightest scientific minds from harvard and m.i.t. on a mission to fight disease. crispr is making medical research faster, cheaper, >> reporter:jung's colleagues predict it will help them tackle diseases like cancer and alzheimer's. >> how many diseases are we talking about that this could be used to treat? >> there are about 6,000 or more diseases that are caused by faulty genes. the hope is we'll be able to address most if not all of them. >> most if not all of them. >> that's the long-term hope. >> so we're talking diseases like huntington's -- >> mm-hmm. >> sickle cell. >> yeah. a.l.s. hemophilia. >> i think crispr it's fair to

say is the most surprising discovery and maybe most consequential discovery in this century so far. >> how that code is read out -- >> reporter: to understand exactly what crispr is we went to eric lander for a quick science lesson. >> crispr. >> reporter: he's director of the broad and zhang's mentor. he's best known for being a leader of the human genome project that mapped out all our dna, which is like a recurring sequence of letters. >> during human genome project we could read out all the human dna and then in the years afterwards find the misspellings that caused human diseases but we had no way to think about how to fix them. and then pretty much on schedule this mind-blowing discovery that bacteria have a way to fix those misspellings appears. >> this comes from bacteria. >> this comes from bacteria. bacteria, you know, they have a problem. they came up with a real clever solution. when they get infected by viruses, they keep a little bit of dna and they use it as a

reminder. and they have this system called crispr that grabs those reminders and searches around and says if i ever see that again i'm going to cut it. >> reporter: zhang used that same bacterial system to edit dna in human cells. our dna is made up of chemical bases abbreviated by the letters a, t, c, and g. as you can see in this animation from zhang's lab at m.i.t., a mutation that causes disease reads like a typo in those genetic instructions. if scientists can identify the typo, they can program crispr to find it and try to correct it. >> you program it. you say i'm looking for this string of letters. >> mm-hmm. >> and crispr will go in and out of all of the billions and billions and billions of letters on your dna find the exact ones that you have programmed. >> that's right. crispr will allow you to do many different things.

you can cut it to edit it. >> so you can snip out the bad part and you can add something that you want as well? >> that's right. you can give the cell a new piece of dna that carries the sequence you want to incorporate into the genome. >> you say this so matter of factually. this is amazing. >> it is pretty cool. >> how many other labs around the world are working with crispr like this? >> many. one of the things that we have been doing is to make the tool available to researchers. to date i think we have gotten it out over 45,000 times to 2,200 labs in 61 countries. >> what are they doing with it? >> they are using it to do everything. a lot of applications of crispr. it's really a swiss army knife. >> reporter: cue the worldwide crispr frenzy. at the university of california scientists used a form of crispr to edit mosquitos so they can't transmit malaria. their colleagues are modifying rice to better withstand floods

and drought. in china scientists tweaked a gene in beagles to make them more muscular. a crispr vial from zhang's lab made its way to dr. kang shang. he's an ophthalmologist and a professor at the university of california san diego and wanted to see what all the hype was about. >> what did you think when you first heard of crispr? >> i was a little bit skeptical. >> why skeptical? >> it worked so well. too well to be believable. >> reporter: he decided to experiment on mice with receiptinitis pigmentosa. a genetic form of blindness. he conducted a vision test using a mouse with the disease. >> this is the blind mouse. >> this is a blind mouse. and obviously you can see that he is ignoring the rotating stripes. >> reporter: his researchers injected crispr into the eye of another blind mouse. the crispr was programmed to find the main gene associated

with the disease and turn it off. it takes three months to see the results. >> now let's see how he's responding to the light. >> he's following it around. >> yes. >> look at that. you're sure he is seeing these lights. >> this is actually a very commonly used test for vision. >> reporter: how much of their sight do they recover? >> about 30%, sometimes even 50% of the sight for mice. >> they will have very strong research programs -- >> reporter: the next phase of dr. shang's research is to see how crispr works on one of our closer relatives. he sent us this video of his lap in china where he's studying mofrpgies with retinitis pigmentosa. the blind monkey avoids the food. he says this monkey was treated with crispr and it's easy to see the difference. dr. zhang hopes to try this on humans soon. if crispr is used to treat disease or make a drug, it could

mean big bucks. the broad and fang zhang hold a primary patent for crispr's use in human cells in the u.s. but no technology is developed in a vacuum. biochemist jennifer dowdner at the university of california berkeley and her team made landmark crispr discoveries. >> this is no longer science fiction. >> reporter: this week they are challenging zhang and the broad in court for the rights, arguing in part that zhang's advance was derived from her team's breakthrough. it's a high-stakes battle. crispr is projected to be a multibillion-dollar market in a decade. >> does that mean big business for you? >> i think we're still quite a ways away from developing crispr into a real therapeutic. >> i think you're being a little bit modest. i mean, this is sparking an incredible boom in biomedicine. and you're in the center of it. >> i think there's still really

a lot of work that still need to be done developing the systems so they are efficient enough. making sure that they are safe enough.

a new law aims to give terminally ill patients easier access to experimental drugs. an 8-year-old who celebrated wednesday's bill signing by hugging president trump has become the face of the right to try campaign. we've been following his story for years. adriana diaz spoke to him and his mom. >> reporter: as president trump signed the right to try bill wednesday, 8-year-old jordan mcclin went in for a hug. he missed the first few times. but eventually they embraced. a hug years in the making. jordan has duchesne muscular dystrophy, a genetic degenerative disease with an average life expectancy of around 25 years. >> to see this finally come to the finish line was just this

huge, huge accomplishment. >> reporter: jordan and his mother, laura mcclin have been at the forefront of the movement to pass the right to try bill, which allows the terminally ill who have exhausted all other options to gain access to drugs not fully approved yet by the fda. we first met the mcclin family in 2015, when right to try was signed into law in their home state of indiana by then governor mike pence. >> he has been very, very supportive all along the way. >> reporter: under fda regulations new drugs must go through three phases of clinical trials before becoming commercially available, which often takes years. right to try now allows doctors to administer drugs that have cleared just the first phase of a trial. >> we're going to be saving tremendous numbers of lives. >> reporter: but opponents of right to try argue so-called compassionate use treatments already allow patients to try experimental drugs. the fda currently approves about 99% of experimental drug requests. >> unfortunately, it's empty

symbolism. >> reporter: allison bait mon house, an assistant professor of medical ethics, fears the bill gives false hope. >> nobody can force a company to give a drug if it doesn't want to. i am not optimistic that it is going to be a pathway of getting access for patients. >> reporter: but laura mcclin is still hopeful. >> we've met so many people from different disease groups that can benefit from this law. >> if i had that head of hair, i would have been president so long ago. >> reporter: as for jordan, he had a long day but meeting the president was worth it. >> he said my hair was very nice. >> he did. >> that's the overnight news for r some of you the news continues. and for others you can check back with us a little later for the morning news and of course "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new york city i'm demarco morgan.
