entertainment park ran underneath the dangling cars to help those still trapped in their seats. >> they all ran in and were trying to hold her up in the cart to keep the cart from falling and they were just screaming don't move, don't move. >> reporter: a tourist said he grabbed heavy-duty straps, typically used to hold down cargo, from his truck to help keep the ride from falling any further. >> two were dangling from the car. there were an additional four passengers in the middle car and two more in the rear car. >> reporter: those eight riders had to be rescued by firefighters while the front of the coaster hung off the track. some were stuck for more than 30 minutes. six people were taken to the hospital. >> the riders were very frightened and the firefighters were doing a great job of trying to make sure that everyone stayed calm, so the rescue could go off successfully. >> reporter: crews used a fire ladder to guide this woman back to the ground. the roller coaster is called the sandblaster. it's a three-car sitdown ride

that operates on a winding steel track. investigators are still working to figure out what caused the accident. in february of last year, the ride was temporarily shut down after inspectors found more than a dozen problems. and some of those problems included damaged brakes and cracked supports, according to the daytona beach news journal. it also reported that all the waterfront rides on the daytona beach boardwalk have been hammered by recent hurricanes. ann-marie? >> laura podesta here in new york. thank you so much, laura. former fbi director james comey made repeated mistakes during the hillary clinton e-mail investigation but not for political reasons. that's according to a new justice department report. the current fbi director, christopher wray, said the agency accepted the justice department report and finds it sobering.

comey tweeted the reports conclusions are reasonable, even though he disagrees with some of them. and he said i respect the doj ig office, which is why i urged them to do this review. and he prayed no director would face that unprecedented situation again. paula reed has details. >> reporter: the report criticizes former fbi director james comey for being insubordinate, in bypassing his boss, attorney general loretta lynch, in his handling of the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. but concludes that the hillary clinton investigation was not tainted by political bias. >> we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. >> reporter: the report says we find it extraordinary that comey engaged in his own subjective ad hoc decisionmaking and concludes while he was not political biased his decision making negatively impacted the perception of the fbi and the department of justice as fair administrators of justice. comey told "cbs this morning" he faced an impossible choice after new clinton e-mails were discovered on a laptop belonging

to anthony weiner. he told congress of the evidence which leaked out days before the 2016 election. >> there were no good options. >> reporter: the inspector general rejected this characterization as a false dichotomy and said, the two doors were actually labeled follow policy and practice and depart from policy and practice. the report also said that peter strzok who led both the clinton and russian investigations may have acted improperly. uncovered text messages strzok exchanged with lawyer lisa page. in august of 2016, page texted strzok asking "he, trump, will never become president, right? right?" and he responded, "no, no, he won't. we will stop it." christopher wray reacted to the report. >> the report does identify errors of judgment, violations

of or even disregard for policy and decisions that, at the very least, with the benefit of hindsight, were not the best choices. >> reporter: paula reed, cbs news, washington. president trump's former campaign chairman, paul manafort, is scheduled to be arraigned today for another indictment filed by special counsel robert mueller, involving allegations of witness tampering. these are the third charges brought by mueller since manafort was first indicted in october. the arraignment in federal court in washington, d.c., coincides with a previously scheduled hearing on manafort's bail. he is currently under house arrest. president trump's personal attorney, michael cohen, filed a restraining order to stop stormy daniels' lawyer from speaking with reporters. daniels is the porn actress who claims she had sex with mr. trump before he became president and signed a nondisclosure agreement. she wants the agreement nullified because cohen, not mr. trump, signed it.

cohen claims that her lawyer, michael avenatti, is tainting the case with a publicity tour. avenatti called the gag order a complete joke and baseless and that they can't deal with the law so they have to resort to unethical, meritless motions. ridiculous is how the president describes a lawsuit filed by the new york state attorney general. the president vowed that he won't settle. a court order seeks to force the president and his three oldest children to pay penalties and restitution. anna warner has more. >> reporter: the lawsuit filed says mr. trump ran the found augs according to his whim rather than the law. it describes the foundation as little more than an empty shell with a board that hasn't met in 19 years. the complaint cites a series of transactions that new york

attorney general barbara underwood says benefited mr. trump's own interests, an illegal practice known as self dealing. there was the $100,000 payment to fisher house foundation, to settle legal claims against mr. trump's mar-a-lago resort and the $10,000 of trump foundation money the suit says mr. trump used to buy a painting of himself. >> everyone is going to get a lot of money. >> reporter: and the ag pointed to this campaign event in iowa in january 2016. candidate trump skipping a republican debate raised millions of dollars for veterans instead, but after the event, the lawsuit says campaign staff, not the trump foundation, dictated how the funds were dispersed, amounting to illegal coordination between a campaign and nonprofit. the president fired back on twitter, saying, "the sleazy new york democrats" are suing him on a foundation that gave out to

charity more money than it took in. and, he added, "i won't settle this case." but former irs charitable division head mark owen says the evidence against the foundation appears overwhelming. >> this one is extraordinary because of the visibility of what happened. literally videotape exists of the events constituting political campaign intervention, for example. >> reporter: anna warner, cbs news, new york. house republicans unveiled the draft of an immigration bill, which includes a path to citizenship for young immigrants referred to as dreamers. it also proposes changes in the law that separates children from their parents at the border. a vote could come next week. the white house is defending attorney general jeff sessions, who cited the bible in defending the border policy, which has resulted in hundreds of children being taken from their parents. press secretary sarah sanders said it is very biblical to enforce the law. firefighters out west are battling hot, windy weather and drought conditions as they try to control a series of wildfires. nearly 20 major fires are
