>> reporter: good morning. these stakes could not be higher for president trump or special counsel robert mueller as jury selection gets under way here at federal court in virginia. now, there is nothing in these charges about russian interference in the campaign. but this case is the first public test for special counsel robert mueller. he had been hoping that manafort would flip and share what he knows about any russian involvement in the campaign. but we spoke to manafort's lawyer just moments ago as he entered court here for the first day of his trial. he told me there is no chance that manafort will strike a last-minute deal to avoid trial. now this case will involve 35 witnesses and more than 500 pieces of evidence in an attempt to prove manafort earned tens of millions of dollars from his work with ukrainian officials. they also allege that he hid a significant percentage of that money from the irs and spent it on expensive homes, cars and even clothes as a way to land they're money. now, one of witnesses expected

to testify is former deputy trump campaign chairman richard gates who is manafort's one-time business partner. sources tell me that manafort is banking on a presidential pardon if he is convicted during this trial. >> paula, thank you. the president will be in florida today, stumping for republican candidates ahead of the midterm elections in november. at a white house news conference yesterday with the italian prime minister, president trump renewed his threat to shut down the government. the president also said he would be willing to meet with iran's president without preconditions. weijia jiang is at the white house. >> reporter: president trump has asked for $25 billion for border security, although he says that's not a red line and he's open to negotiation. but he has appeared to draw a deadline for reaching a deal before the government faces a shutdown in september. >> the whole thing is ridiculous. and we have to chance our laws. >> reporter: president trump's message to congress during a

press conference monday was crystal clear. >> i would have no problem doing a shutdown. it's time we had proper border security. >> reporter: government funding runs out at the end of september, just weeks before the midterm election. the last time the president signed a short-term measure to keep the government open, it came with a warning. >> i say to congress i will never sign another bill like this again. i'm not going to do it again. >> reporter: many republicans doubt there's enough time to pass an immigration bill. and say threatening a shutdown won't speed things up. >> if you're not willing to shut the government down, then it's probably not a good tactic to play. >> reporter: president trump also drew criticism with remarks about meeting with iran's president hassan ro lauhanirouh. >> they want to meet, i'll meet. any time they want. it's good for the country. good for them. good for us. and good for the world. no preconditions.

>> reporter: secretary of state mike pompeo said he was on board with the meeting. but contradicted the president by saying iran must make changes first. >> fundamental changes in how they treat their own people, reduce their malign behavior, agree that it's worthwhile to enter a nuclear agreement that actually prevents proliferation. the president said he's prepared to sit down and have a conversation with them. >> reporter: iran's foreign minister says there are no conditions for such a discussion, according to iranian state tv. and meeting is looking less likely. because the suspended economic sanctions iran was enjoying under the iran nuclear deal kicked back into place next week after president trump abandoned the deal in may. norah. >> all right, weijia, thank you. "the washington post" reports that north korea appears to be building that ballistic missiles. unnamed officials tell "the post" that spy satellites detected activity at a factory

outside pyongyang that produce long-range missiles as recently as july 7. that is less than a month after president trump's meeting with leader kim jong-un. and mr. trump's tweet declaring that north korea was no longer a nuclear threat. fast-moving wildfires threatened more than 14,000 homes and other buildings in northern california. the so-called mendencino complex fires are burning in rugged terrain about 90 miles north of san francisco. one fire reportedly got within a mile of the city of lake port yesterday before firefighters pushed it back. there are now 17 large fires burning across california. they've killed at least eight people. mireya villarael is near the complex fires. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. these fires have destroyed seven homes and fire officials say it is threatening 10,000 structures. the weather right now is dry, so these firefighters are battling the blaze, trying to

keep it up in the hills and away from people's homes. the complex fires are burning through rugged terrain in the hills of lake county, moving quickly enough to threaten highly populated towns nearby. cell phone video captured the moment drivers had to turn around on a main highway when the road was blocked by flames. what is it about this area that's so susceptible? >> you can see how thick this vegetation is. you can't put personnel in here. the aircraft, the helicopters working this fire, that is the best approach to fight a fire like this. >> reporter: with the wind picking up, you can actually see there are flames that are building up near a lot of these homes. that's why crews have come into this area. they're building lines to try to protect structures such as this one. this is the view evacuees faced over the weekend. many families had to pack up twice when theation ce they wento had to be evacuated itself. >> i thought we would go and

stay. >> reporter: still, not everyone is complying with mandatory evacuation orders. juan soria says he's staying put. your life could be in jeopardy. >> if my life is in jeopardy, i'm not going to risk it for material thing, but as long as i can defend it, i will. this is all i got. this is all i got. >> reporter: the strain of battling these blazes is definitely taking a toll on some of these firefighters. i spoke with one fire official that says this is not only a physical issue but a mental one as well for them. many of them are working these long strenuous hours but on top of that, they are away from family and friends for long periods of time. >> dramatic footage. thank you. the family of a black man killed by minneapolis police demanding justice after prosecutors decided not to charge the two officers who shot him. police say body cam video shows thurman blevins had a gun and refused orders to stop and show his hands last month. blevin's family and supporter

says he did not pose a threat. yesterday, they shouted down the prosecutor announcing that the officer's actions were justified. vladimir duthiers of our streaming network cbsn shows us what's behind the tension. >> reporter: police say the officers r d the 911 call that blevins had a gun and was shooting into the air. now prosecutors say body cam footage proves their version of events but it also has the community questioning whether the officers needed to shoot. >> he has a gun. >> reporter: police body cam footage shows the moment officers justin schmidt confronted thurman blevins. you can hear blevins begging officers not to shoot. >> please, don't do it. put your hands up. >> leave me alone. >> reporter: just a few seconds later, they open fire, 14 times. [ gunfire ] four of those shots hit blevins. he died on the scene.

in order to bring charges against a police officer, the state must be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the officer's use of deadly force was not authorized. >> reporter: the hennepin county cleared the officers from wrong done. he claims blevins' disregard for instructions and allegedly pointing a gun at officers justified the shooting -- >> -- uncertain and rapidly evolving situations -- >> reporter: as he made the announcement, blevins' family and community activists shouted him down. they claim blevins wa s was not threat and accused officers of escalating the situation. >> these officers was not afraid of my cousin when they approached him. that's clear of day on the video footage. >> you see a drunk black guy with a gun? >> in the car, asking people, hey, did you see a drunk black guy? >> reporter: the minneapolis community is still grappling with recent deadly shootings of unarmed black man fill landau

castille and jamar clark. no officers were found guilty in either incident. following this footage release, they're calling these officer's actions heroic. >> they deserve the medal of honor. >> reporter: both officers are still on paid leave. and an internal investigation is under way that will determine if the officers will be put back on active duty. the family still wants both officers to be arrested and charged within 48 hours and to be fired from the minneapolis police department. they say there will be consequences if those demands are not met, norah. >> all right, vlad, thank you. a former top official at the federal emergency management agency faces accusations of sexual harassment and even hiring women as possible partners for male workers. the story is almost too hard to believe. fema's administrator says some of the activities could rise to the level of criminal activity. jeff pegues is in washington with these allegations. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. corey coleman has been the

subject of an internal investigation for seven months and in june resigned before a scheduled interview with investigators, but what they know so far is leading to a review of sexual harassment policies within that agency. >> hello, my name is corey coleman. >> reporter: the allegations are outlined in a preliminary report. investigators say he harassed women and even hired some women as potential sexual partners for male employees. >> i'm fema's deputy chief -- >> reporter: coleman who began working at fema in 2011 also allegedly hired dozens of men who were friends and college fraternity brothers. in his capacity as fema's chief component human capital officer, he's suspected of transferring some of the women he hired in and out of departments so his friends could try to have sexual relationships with them. coleman is also accused of having sexual encounters with two subordinates. the ongoing investigation has rattled the agency, whose 20,000

employees are tasked with responding to disasters like the hurricanes in puerto rico, texas and florida. fema's administrator, brock long, called the allegations deeply disturbing and requested further investigation by the dhs office of the inspector general. corey coleman has not responded to the allegations. leaders in the house of representatives issued a rare bipartisan statement saying they were outraged by the revelations. a fema hearing has been delayed until after the investigation is completed. anthony. >> jeff pegues, thank you. leslie moonves remains chairman and ceo of cbs after a board meeting amid a sexual harassment investigation. the cbs board of directors, which moonves leads, met yesterday. six women accused moonves of harassment and intimidation in a new yorker article last week. moonves denies or says he doesn't recalm of tl many of th

details of the report. anna warner is following the company's response. >> shares of cbs corporation has dropped 10% since friday when the story broke. cbs' board has taken steps t netary. probabse i work here, what do you think is going to happen? i don't know. >> reporter: on "the late show," stephen colbert brought up the sexual harassment allegations against his company's ceo. >> i like working for him. but accountability is meaningless unless it's for everybody. whether it's the leader of a network or the leader of a free world. >> reporter: his comments came hours after cbs' board of directors left their meeting with leslie moonves still in charge. in a statement, the company said the board is in the process of selecting outside counsel to conduct an independent investigation. but some analysts question the board's action. >> i cannot imagine a scenario where the board comes out ttert

keeping him,ar the usual with moonves still in charge. >> reporter: a source tells cbs news when the board began discussing the allegations against moonves during the meeting, he stepped away.ccou o women who claim he sexually harassed them, including four who say he forcibly kissed or touched them. all said their careers suffered after they rejected his advances. moonves acknowledges there were times decades ago when he may have made some women uncomfortable by making advances. but says he's always understood no means no and he's never misused his position to harm or hinder anyone's career. on her cbs show, "the talk," moonves' wife, julie chen, reinforced comments she made in a tweet on friday, saying moonves is a kind decent and moral human being, and that she fully supports her husband and stands behind him. >> now, some of you may be aware of what's been going on in my

life for the last few days. i issued the one and only statement i will ever make on this topic on twitter. and i will stand by that statement today, tomorrow, forever. >> reporter: moonves alma mater bucknell university is distancing himself from him. they removed all references to him from its website. also the board of directors said it's post phoning its annual shareholder's meeting. that meeting was supposed to be held august 10th. a florida mother says paramedics ignored her cries for help because she was black. ahead, why the county administrator says the paramedics failed to provide adequate care and how that may have cost the woman her look at this marine layer. yeah, it's back again this

like it, including 3d printers which make guns out of plastic, require digital blueprints to work. it's those digital blueprints that gun safety advocates worry could be dangerous in the wrong hands. >> the goal will be to communicate to the court that we want to shut this down immediately. >> reporter: a lawsuit filed monday by democratic washington state attorney general bob ferguson says the release of blueprints for 3d-printed guns on the internet would make the lethal weapons available to virtually anyone. >> when it comes to something as basic as public safety, this is a giveaway for terrorists. >> reporter: eight other democratic state attorneys general are now joining ferguson's suit against the trump administration. in april, the federal government settled a lawsuit with the non-profit defense distributed, allowing the company to publish digital experimeschematics for 3d-printed guns. the state department says the decision to settle the case was made in the interest of the security and foreign policy of the united states.

>> i think almost without exception, the people have a right to this kind of data regarding anything. >> reporter: five years ago, defense distributed founder cody wilson introduced the liberator, a single-shot handgun made almost entirely of 3d-printed plastic. on august 1st, blueprints for guns ranging from the liberator to an ar-15-style assault rifle will be available for download from defense distributed for free. >> you cannot regulate the digital material of guns anymore. it's out there. >> reporter: the so-called ghost guns don't have serial numbers and are therefore untraceable and require no background checks. that's something ferguson warns is a threat to national security. >> and who pays the cost? the public. it's outrageous! >> it is the end of gun control? i think it is, in an essential sense. >> reporter: there is cody wilson there. his supporters believe these last-minute lawsuits will fail because computer code, which makes these machines work, is essentially speech, and therefore, protected. now, either way, it may be too late. more than 1,000 downloads have already been made of an

ar-15-style 3d-printed gun that cody posted early. and he seems prepared to fight to keep those files online, tweeting recently, "we will not be silenced." norah? >> tony, thanks. scary to think that you could >> is very scary i mean, the argument that it's out there and uncontrollable on some level is convincing, and i don't know, whatever you think of the free speech argument, i don't know how you control this. >> well, even those gun owners and those who respect the rights of gun owners believe in safety and believe in teaching, and that's what worries me about being able to just print one of these and not learn how to use it properly. >> there should be some oversight in terms of printing weaponry. >> thank you, tony. ahead on "cbs this morning," legendary writer, actor and podcast host alan alda will be here to make a major personal announcement. but up next, a look at this morning's other headlines, including where former president barack obama was spotted hanging out with his good buddies,
