dana? >> still two weeks till the official start of winter. meteorologist ed curran, thank you. an eventful week in robert mueller's investigation capped off with court filings with two of the closest campaign allies. prosecutors said former trump campaign chairman paul manafort broke his plea deal by telling quote multiple discernible lies to investigators. according to the court papers manafort lied about his contacts with konstantin kilimnik an aide with alleged ties to russian intelligence. >> and prosecutors said manafort did not tell the truth when he hadn't been in contact after the inauguration with the trump officials. it came three days after mueller recommended no jail time for the president's former national security adviser michael flynn and on the same day federal prosecutors in new york said the president's former lawyer should go to jail. paula reid has that part of the story. >> what do you think is going to happen today? >> reporter: michael cohen was

spotted in new york shortly before federal prosecutors told a judge he deserves a substantial prison term. in case involving campaign finance violations, prosecutors did not advocate for leniency because they allege cohen's crimes reveal a man who knowingly sought to undermine core institutions of our democracy in order to profit personally. the president's former personal attorney had been cooperating in special counsel mueller's investigation into the 2016 election. in a separate memo to the judge, cohen said he met with them seven times and gave matters core to the investigation. and that russia reached out to the trump campaign as early as november 2015 offering political synergy and proposing a meeting between candidate trump and vladimir putin. in anticipation of the filings president trump on twitter again called the special counsel investigation a total witch-hunt

and he vowed to release his own findings. seeking to distance himself from both filings last night president trump tweeted totally clears the president. thank you. to help make sense of the developments we're joined by jesse weber, an attorney and anchor on the law and crime network. good morning. >> good morning. >> well, let's start with the president's tweet. does this totally clear the president? >> um, i would say no. >> okay. >> but let's take a step back. remember when we talk about cohen or manafort, nobody cares about them. we want to know how it relates to president trump and more importantly the russia probe. so i think we learned a lot of interesting things also in relation to this flynn sentencing memo at the beginning of the week. if we start off with cohen, the first paragraph is he's overstated basically the value of his cooperation. and the information that he has provided. i have to tell you i wasn't surprised by that. i think a lot of people expected

that he was going to get the same kind of recommendation as flynn. no prison time. but what the southern district said is yes, we can't ignore the fact he provided valuable information to the special counsel's office. but he's not a hero in this story. he only came forward because he knew he'd be indicted and that was a huge part to consider. >> one of the things in those filings though was that the campaign finance reform -- excuse me the campaign finance reform that he broke, the laws there that he broke, i can speak this morning, that it tied it to trump. that trump was the one who directed that. why is that important? >> that's important because cohen in his memo that he filed earlier, he said that trump was involved. now you see the southern district saying that president trump coordinated and oversaw those payments. that doesn't mean that he necessarily will be found guilty of anything. even if he knew about it, what was the purpose of the payment and that becomes a separate question. but this is the first time i saw

in a memo that's actually tying him to this. and that was a big part to make there in terms of the campaign finance violations because the payments again to karen mcdougal and stormy daniels i can't believe i'm seeing it it in the filings it's the first time that we see trump and cohen tied together in a filing by the government. >> in terms of manafort, one of the documents outlines where he lied. how big of a blow is this to the mueller investigation since he was a key witness? >> it's a blow, and i'll tell you why it's a blow. when you're robert mueller, you're building a case, a significant case like this, you're building it upon credible sources and here he is saying he's lied about five key areas. now they're not directly related to president trump and the 2016 election. but they may be. and the thing that caught my attention, it was the majority of the redactions in relation to konstantin kilimnik and the question is what is his tie?

why would manafort make such an effort to protect him and not tell the truth? that's the question i had. you look at the other things he may have lied about and the idea if he lied about this, what else do they have to question? because there were -- we're looking at everything they said he lied about, but what about the information he did provide. the trump tower meeting. >> jesse weber, thank you. former fbi director james comey testified under subpoena for seven hours in the closed door session of the house judiciary committee on friday. he answered questions about the justice department's decisions during the presidential elections and reporters asked comey for his assessment of the mueller investigation. >> i see it proceeding incredibly quickly and very, very professionally. but most important indication of that you don't know anything about it except when you file something in court and that's the way it should be. >> comey testifies again on december 17th. president trump appears to be ready to make a big white

house staff shakeup. sources tell cbs news chief of staff kelly could be on his way out in a matter of days. his expected exit comes amid big staff announcements. president trump travels to philadelphia for the army versus navy kill. and nikole killion is joining us from the white house. >> reporter: the relationship with john kelly has been strained for a long time, they are no longer on speaking terms. president trump friday ignored questions about the future of his chief of staff's job. >> people leave. >> reporter: white house sources tell cbs news chief of staff kelly's exit is imminent. >> the last thing i wanted to do was walk away from one of the great honors of my life, being the secretary of homeland security. but i did something wrong and god punished me, i guess. [ laughter ] >> reporter: vice president pence's chief of staff nick

ayers is seen as the leading contender to replace kelly. meanwhile, president trump friday announced he is nominating william barr as his new attorney general. >> he was my first choice from day one. respected by republicans and respected by democrats. >> reporter: if confirmed, barr would return to the position he first held under president george h.w. bush. some called on barr to allow robert mueller's investigation to proceed unimpeded after barr's past criticism of the russia probe. >> heather nauert will be nominated for the ambassador to the united nations. >> reporter: mr. trump filled another vacancy. naming the state department's spokesperson and former fox news anchor to replace nikki haley at the u.n. >> she's very talented. very smart. very quick. and i think she's going to be respected by all. >> reporter: prompting some democratic lawmakers to criticize her lack of foreign policy experience. >> he is a challenging individual. >> reporter: amid the latest

white house staff shakeup, former secretary of state rex tillerson had critical words for his old boss. >> when the president said here's what i want to do and then here's how i want to do it and i'd have to say to him, well, mr. president, i understand what you want to do but you can't do it that way. it violates the law. it violates the treaty. you know? and he -- you know, he just -- he got really frustrated. >> reporter: president trump lashed back tweeting tillerson was dumb as a rock and lazy as hell. we are expecting another big announcement today. president trump teased that he'll be making it at that army versus navy game this afternoon at lincoln financial field in philadelphia. dana? >> nikole killion, thank you. breaking overnight, at least six people, five of them teenagers were crushed to death in a stampede in a packed nightclub in central italy this morning. the panic began when someone apparently sprayed pepper spray or some other caustic substance

into the crowd. at least 50 people were injured. fire officials say it's too soon to know if all of the exits were working. one witness said at least one of the doors was locked when he tried to escape. also breaking overnight, in paris, police fired tear gas and arrested more than 200 people this morning as so-called anti-government yellow vest protesters took to the streets for a fourth consecutive weekend. the city is on high alert following the violence that broke out last weekend, forcing the closing of the eiffel tower and museums. copycat protests are scheduled in belgium. charlie d'agata has more. >> reporter: good morning. well, we watched throughout this morning of the crowd of maybe 200 people has swollen to several thousand stretching down the length of the champs elysees all the way up to the arc de triomphe. every now and then, a group of rowdy demonstrators will try to burst out into the side streets and they're met with a wall of

riot police when that happens. we have heard it ourselves. the riot police have been firing back with stun grenades and tear gas in order to disperse the crowd. even so, this is relatively contained and compared to what they had last week. 400 people were arrested. in order to avoid that, they pumped up the number of security personnel to 89,000 in order to try to contain these crowds. not just here in paris, but elsewhere throughout the country. this all began when emmanuel macron introduced a fuel tax hike several weeks ago and the demonstrations have gotten bigger. he has climbed down from the demand but this has gotten too big. they say it's too little, too late. the people that we have seen here today are calling for the french president's resignation. we're expecting the crowds to build and perhaps get more violent throughout the day. for "cbs this morning saturday," charlie d'agata. sentencing is set monday for after a jury in charlottesville,

convicted james fields for running down a counterprotester with his car at last year's white nationalist rally. >> reporter: jurors took seven hours to convict fields jr. of all counts. including first degree murder and failure to stop at the scene of an accident. on august 12, 2017, led by the white supremacists saw it take a deliberate turn when fields sent the victims flying and killing 32-year-old heather heyer. 35 were injured some severely. prosecutors presented video and witnesses to describe in vivid detail how fields backed up slowly and accelerated into the crowd. he used his own postings against him.

a meme showing a car plowing into protesters with the words you have the right to protest but i'm late for work. a picture of hitler, a warning we're not the one who need to be careful. a jailhouse recording of him scolding his mother for having pity on the family of ms. heyer. she's a communist, an anti-white liberal. some of those gathered outside the white house cheered the verdict. >> i thank every last one of the jurors for what they did. they expressed to the world like we don't stand for this type of hate. >> the defense argued that fields was simply trying to go home, and he panicked and sped up. that contradicts what the witnesses said and what the video showed. as during much of the trial he sat impassively without much expression on his face as the verdict was read. the sentencing phase begins

>> what was i thinking? it was a crazy time of my life. when i was playing i felt ashamed of myself if i'm going to be perfectly honest because i had this dream of, you know, getting my ph.d. in math. doing good research. you know, i was really sort of just letting this go. and i knew i had to do something about it. >> reporter: in the end, math won out. after three seasons in the nfl, you decide to leave and strictly pursue math. why? >> my family. i have a little one. little joanna, she's crawling around now. i came to realize that all of the things that i was most excited about in life at that point all had to do with being a great mathematician. being a great father and doing these things for a long number of years. >> did you worry about what even just three years in the nfl and obviously the time play in college had done to your brain? >> no. i truly -- i truly, truly

believe that i'm living my best life. i wouldn't trade my time at penn state for the world and i'm doing exactly what i want to be doing. i'm at mit. i'm exactly where i want to be. working with exactly who i want to be working with. and it's a great feeling. >> reporter: urschel is now in final year of his ph.d. program with graduation and his doctorate coming in the spring. professor john versus baltimore raven john, which one sounds better to you? >> i'm really liking the professor john right now. >> reporter: and the opportunity to continue breaking down stereotypes. when you walk the halls at mit, do you see other black faces? >> we do not have any african american math professors, but i'm not sure this is mit's fault. it's not that these universities don't want to hire african-american math professors, it's not that babies born white in the united states are that much better at math

than african-american babies. it's the sad fact that we have brilliant young talent in this country being born into households where this talent is lost and is not being cultivated. >> what can you do about that? >> hopefully, setting a good example is the first step. >> i can't ride a bicycle. >> reporter: urschel is finding a way to show off the fun side of math. >> the center of this wheel here always stays at a constant height. >> reporter: working with the national museum of mathematic. >> we're doing to put the marvel universe under the microscope. >> reporter: and with marvel comics. just as he found his passion, he is hoping to spark one in the next generation. >> i try to help out with programs that serve underrepresented areas to show that math is truly a beautiful, beautiful thing. and it's a powerful tool.

>> in what way? >> in that we all make quantitative decisions every day. thousands and thousands of them. mostly without even thinking. and math is truly a language and a tool to train your ability to think through quantitative problems. >> reporter: even urschel's hobbies are a challenge to the brain. >> let's get it on. >> reporter: like sitting down to play chess with friend rob hess. >> you have to defend the pawn. >> reporter: they first met when urschel was still in the nfl. >> it's the opposite of what i expected. i thought -- i'm a huge sports fan. well, great to meet you, you're both a brilliant athlete and mathematician. i have been watching your chess videos, i love your stuff. so good to meet you. >> reporter: the admiration was warranted. hess is a chess grand master. urschel's aspirations are a bit more modest. he wants to become one of the best in the united states.

how far can he go with chess? >> off or on camera? >> the off camera answer on camera. >> john is a very talented player and i think his mathematical mind helps him and i think the competitive nature -- well, he's competitive in everything he does. so i think he can get really a lot better and he's working towards that goal. becoming a master. >> yeah. >> do you think he'll reach that goal? >> absolutely. >> reporter: if his past is any indication, you can count on it. >> if you have dreams, if you have goals, don't shut these things down. don't fit into certain stereotypes. don't think you can't have multiple aspirations. life's too short. it's too short to settle and to live someone else's dream. >> he's 27. 27. >> what a lovely guy. >> he really is. you can see this passion he has for math. and he wants kids to sort of be coached in something like math the way they're coached in

football and it's developed and that love that kids have in an athletic pursuit they can have in the academic areas like he did. >> we need some more math hero. >> what a great role model for young men of color. not just football. >> exactly. well, taking the term silent night to a whole new level. we'll show you one of the most original basketball celebrations you'll ever see. if you're headed out the door don't forget to set your dvr to record "cbs this morning saturday" coming up in the next hour we'll talk with john grisham about his true crime series on netflix. plus, ken oringer and the dish and plus lindsey buckingham in our saturday session all ahead on "cbs this morning saturday."

i don't know how it worked out to be this way, but when the they were out doing relief efforts, the bush/clinton initiative after the tsunami hit southeast asia during the holidays of '04, they went around the world together. raised $1.5 billion and that segued into hurricane relief. they said, let's get together socially. we might need a third wheel, an intermediary to keep the conversation going. somehow, the president called me one day, at the final four. he said, i have a favor to ask. whenever he said i have a favor to ask, he was about to lay the biggest favor in the world on you. he'd never ask for a favor. he said would you come up to maine, president clinton is coming up and we need a third guy to come hang out with us and be our intermediary. i was lucky enough to go along for the ride and one of the most beautiful things was to see two guys who had been political rivals one of whom had defeated the other for the highest office in the land and that didn't

♪ welcome to "cbs this morning saturday." i'm anthony mason with adriana diaz and dana jacobson. new trouble for trump's former attorney and former chairman. we'll have more on the ongoing staff shakeup at the white house. and john grisham has come up with plenty of compelling characters over the years but one story he wrote about was true and it's just become a series on netflix. he'll join us in the studio to talk about it. and color him obsessed with

rare and ancient paints almost lost to the passage of time. we'll meet a london based artist who is going to extremes to recover some unique and historic hues. that's ahead. but first, our top story this hour, court papers filed on two key aides. robert mueller's team said that michael cohen the president's former personal lawyer is a vital witness in their investigation. >> now the justice department says candidate trump directed cohen to make illegal payments to buy the silence of women whose claims of extramarital affairs threatened his presidential campaign. mr. trump of course has denied having an affair. >> and prosecutors say that former campaign chairman paul manafort broke his plea deal by lying to investigators. court papers claimed that manafort lied about his contacts with an aide who allegedly had ties to russian intelligence. >> and here with insight and other developments in washington is "washington post" national correspondent philip bump. let's start with the cohen

revealings basically yesterday in that filing. what did we learn here from that? >> so we learned a couple of new details. not an expansive amount of information. we learned that cohen apparently met with another russian national, 2015, 2016. someone who had some involvement in the trump tower moscow deal. we learned primarily though that the government has implicated donald trump directly in those two charges that cohen pled guilty to last august. to two campaign finance related charges and at the time cohen said he had been directed to take the actions by president trump in this core document, the u.s. attorneys themselves say that trump is implicated. >> is this cohen's word against the president? >> it is to some extent, but cohen provided them with recordings in which he spoke with donald trump about the deals and that the deals were made in order to influence the election that's the thing that violates campaign finance laws that's particularly problematic. >> what's the biggest thing that

we learned in relation to paul manafort at this point? >> so paul manafort was less informative in the sense that there were things that were redacted. he had a relationship with konstantin kilimnik who worked for him when he was doing work in ukraine. he has some theoretical ties to russian intelligence. there's redacted stuff about kilimnik in there and we don't know about. the prosecution was outlining that manafort had lied to them on a number of occasions, trying to make the case for ways in which he had been deceptive. more details about those deceptions. >> do you think the information in the documents might change the focus for democrats who take control of congress in january? >> these documents probably won't shift the direction the democrats are planning on heading. the democrats have this choice. they have to decide if they're going to try and legislate with the republicans in the senate and figure out what to do there or if they're going to instead put more of their emphasis on donald trump and the investigations which, you know, the republican majority in the house didn't spend a lot of time on over the course of the last two years. i don't think the documents change that, but i think it's the case that as more comes

without the russia investigation the democrats will be chomping at the bit. >> what about the manafort papers? >> the big question is where this is going. right? so we have some new hints that mueller for example had been looking at konstantin kilimnik who was in the background. he has been indicted on potential obstruction of justice charges. but it's still -- look, the mueller investigation is this giant black box that we're sort of trying to crack open. unfortunately, these are just little slivers of light yesterday. >> it feels like the long good-bye when it comes to chief of staff john kelly. so what we know right now? >> there have been rumors that kelly has been on his way out. at one point even john kelly and trump said no, he'll be here through 2020. but it's a tough job trying to constrain donald trump in particular. that's john kelly's job, trying to keep the white house in order and donald trump makes it difficult. it's been rumored for some time and now the rumblings are

getting louder. >> we should mention that philip bump came with an entourage today. >> right. diva that you are. >> thomas bump, but we call him baby bump here. we have a little video of him there. >> there he is. adorable. >> he's waiting for you. great to see him. philip, thank you for being with us. coming up tomorrow on "face the nation" right here on cbs, margaret brennan's guests will include marco rubio, republican of florida. john thune and congressman adam schiff, democrat of california. a big and dangerous storm is moving across the country bringing widespread power outages and travel delays. forecasters say heavy rain is expected from texas to the southeast. there have been high water rescues in the houston area. a flash flood warning is in effect in several places. the problem will be ice and snow in the carolinas and appalachia. a state of emergency has been declared in north carolina where parts of the state are bracing

in the literary world names don't get much bigger than john grisham. he's responsible for writing some of the most popular legal thrillers of the past 30 years including "a time to kill", "the pelican brief." >> he wrote his first nonfiction man, "the innocent man" and he focuses on the murders of two women in oklahoma. the four men who were convicted and the questions raised over their guilt. now netflix has turned the book into a six-part original documentary series of the same name. it premiers on december 14th. here's a sample. >> in small towns like ada, the prosecutors and the police are under enormous pressure. winning means justice. winning means everything. and along the way if the truth gets blurred or forgotten or twisted or manipulated, that's

too bad. and that's how we get wrongful convictions. that's how you get ron williamson and dennis fritz. tommy warden and that's what happened so often in criminal prosecutions. it's all about winning. >> and john grisham joins us here in the studio. good morning. >> welcome. >> you have said that if you had written "the innocent man" as a novel people wouldn't have believed it. why is that? >> it's too incredible to believe. it's too -- you can't believe the system can break down so badly. and so many things can go wrong and we is true with most wrongful conviction cases. there's a complete breakdown in the police investigation, the prosecution. one mistake after another. one injustice after another. and i can't create that stuff in fiction. >> tell us about the two crimes, what was so unbelievable.

>> well, two murders in the small town of oklahoma, about 18 months apart. both the crimes were unsolved. and the police struggled with them for a long time. the first crime, the first murder, debby sue carter, the eventual killer was the last man seen alive with the victim. but for some reason the police chose not to investigate him. didn't for a long time. they finally settled on two other guys, williamson and fritz, and they were convicted and sent to william and williamson came within five days of being executed for a murder he had nothing to do with. >> what led you to this story? >> i wasn't looking for another story when i saw this one. ron died in 19 -- in 2004. he had been out for five years. i saw his obituary in "the new york times" and i was taken with it. it was a fantastic story. he was the first round draft pick of the oakland a's in 1972. small town hero. great baseball player. in his little section of

oklahoma people thought he was the next mickey mantle. he did too. he had a great ego, but it didn't work out. he started to show signs of mental illness, became the town drunk or whatever and the police pinned this murder on him. >> you write the book and then it gets to this netflix documentary and series and i'm curious what it was -- or what it is that you're able to do with this now that you couldn't do with the book? what was the reason behind it? >> well, first of all, i had almost nothing to do with the movie even though i'm the executive producer, whatever that means. i have had nine or ten movies made. i don't get near them. >> right. >> i read the screen play, i talk about the idea. talk to the director. meet the people making the movie. but i don't make movies, i don't know how, so i stayed away from it. so we deal with people who knee who they're doing. and in this case, clay twill a

real rock star in the documentary film world. he is from my town of charlottesville, virginia. so that was not important, but i said go with it. he had a great idea for it. they wrote a great script. i said, let's do it. netflix has jumped behind it. put up the money. here we are. >> it reaches a different audience. >> we hope it reaches a big audience. >> go ahead. >> there were some taped confessions involved with these cases. why do you think these poor men were innocent? >> in the first murder, ron williamson and dennis fritz really weren't confessions. those guys were convicted and exonerated by dna. in the second murder of denise hairway, two young men confessed and the confessions are bogus. false confessions. they came about because of abusive interrogations by the police and the confessions matched nothing to do with the crime scene. okay? but those guys are still in prison. 33 years later. that murder has not been solved in my opinion.

okay, in the opinion of a lot of people. watch the documentary too and you'll believe they have the wrong guys. >> is there some hope this will lead to possibly getting them exonerated and finding the real murderer? >> awareness always helps. both of those guys are still fighting in court. they have lawyers. the innocence project is trying to help them but it's been 33 years. >> you mentioned the innocence project, something you're personally involved with. what sort of work are they doing here? >> well, i'm on the board. i have been on the board since the book was published when it came out in 2006 they asked me to join the board. i have really enjoyed this work. i mean, i have written about wrongful convictions, exonerations. penalty. kind of what i enjoy writing about. obviously. but the innocence project, here in new york, we work to get innocent people out of prison. we have about 365 dna exonerations in the past 25 years. ron and dennis were two of them in 1999. we work every day with the --

have kind of never given up that obsession. i just love it still. >> so how does a jersey boy master sushi and mexican food and italian food? you have a spanish tapas restaurant. >> it's a lot of traveling and all of my restaurants have pretty much been the product of my travels. i think traveling is the most important thing that any young chef can do. whether it be to ethnic neighborhoods in your city or your town or whether it be going overseas or anywhere. just exposing your palate to as many different things you can creates taste memories so when you start to think of food, instead of thinking about, well, i can use a little acid on this chicken sandwich, i'm going to put lemon on it. if you think of what acid they use in india, i'm going to put on a green mango powder that they use in india for acidic touches.

it will give it a whole other dimensions and we create food that has unique dimension. >> you had a successful solo career and you partnered with jamie bissonnette. why does it work and why did you decide to partner up? >> i mean, -- >> you guys go way back. >> right. we go way back. you can only do so much by yourself. i think between the two of us, we have so much energy. we have like a yin and a yang. he's a guy with tattoos from head to toe. you know, he's younger than me. he's almost like -- not quite like a son, but you know? you know he's definitely younger. so we have so many different approaches to how we run our restaurants and how we look at food. and it's nice because we have been working together for so long that we can bring out so many more things from each other because we're both very critical and we're not afraid to take criticism which i think is the key. >> what is the biggest challenge though of not being able to make it just what you want? you have to incorporate what somebody else wants? >> sometimes you can maneuver a

who are passionate and when you have a good team like that, in a dining room of course and in a kitchen and everywhere actually, in offices everywhere, the first experience is when you go to the restaurant. somebody has to be nice to you. you don't want a robot to answer your questions. and you don't want someone who's brittle. so the entire team that we have is making the success. and i'm lucky to be the one who represents them today with you. >> yeah. consumers obviously have become much more food savvy as well. the role of social media has really gotten your name out there. how do you continue to evolve and to impress consumers? >> so the idea is to make people happy. and for them to have a great meal. now, of course we use social media and everything to promote the restaurant, but our daily routine is to forget about all the media. to focus on our passion.
