>> i was young. i own every single part of it. >> quijano: and madison the dog's mission accomplished. he guarded his home during california's worst wildfire. >> quijano: good evening, i'm elaine quijano. we'll get to the southern snowstorm in a moment, but we begin with a flurry of political headlines. congressman adam schiff said on "face the nation" today president trump could face jail time after federal prosecutors suggested the president directed illegal payments during his campaign. the president, this weekend, announced another high-level departure from his administration. chief of staff john kelly will be out by the end of the year. this all comes as washington awaits the findings of robert mueller's russia investigation. errol barnett is at the white house. >> he would be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time. >> reporter: democrat adam schiff, expected to chair the

house intelligence committee next year, said president trump may be guilty of felony crimes outlined in friday's sentencing memo of his former lawyer, michael cohen. after federal prosecutors in new york's southern district said cohen paid off trump's alleged mistresses "to influence the 2016 presidential election in coordination with and at the direction of" president trump, referred to as "individual one." >> there is a very real prospect that on the day donald trump leaves office, the justice department may indict him. >> there is no reason to not stand by anybody in this moment. >> reporter: republicans, like senator marco rubio, are withholding judgment. >> clearly these are things that are to be taken into account and seriously. and i would caution everyone to just continue to wait until this plays out. >> reporter: the president was asked about the development on saturday. >> as far as the report that we see, according to everybody i've spoken to, i have not read it. there is absolutely no collusion, which is very important.

>> i see no problem with someone running for president, trying to build a hotel somewhere. >> reporter: today, republican senator rand paul defended president trump from other allegations emerging from the special counsel's investigation, that during the election, cohen worked with then-candidate trump and russian nationals on a potential hotel in russia, described as the "moscow project." >> now if were you asking and saying, i will give you something in exchange for letting us build a hotel, that would be wrong. but i haven't heard any evidence of that. >> reporter: the recent filings also disclose russia offering "political synergy" to the trump campaign as early as november of 2015-- proposing a meeting between candidate trump and president vladimir putin. while another memo charges paul manafort, the former trump campaign chairman, with serial lying. now, as trump faces increasing pressure from multiple investigations, he's also changing his chief of staff, announcing, on saturday, that general john kelly will leave his post before the beginning of next year. now, one of the leading

contenders to replace kelly, nick ayers, has decided he will not take on the new role. he is vice president mike pence's chief of staff, and an official replacement is expected to be announced before the end of this year. elaine? >> quijano: thanks, errol. president trump, on twitter today, took aim at former f.b.i. director james comey, accusing him of lying to lawmakers during his closed-door testimony on friday. the president added "this whole deal is a rigged fraud." jeff pegues has new details on comey's trip to capitol hill. >> reporter: the hearing was described as contentious at times. republicans were frustrated because an f.b.i. attorney instructed comey not to answer many of the questions. among the notable revelations, comey said that when the f.b.i. launched its counterintelligence investigation in july of 2016, the trump campaign itself was not under investigation, but instead, it was launched based on the activities of four americans to see if they were working with the russians to

influence the 2016 election. comey did not get into who those four americans are, but we know that trump campaign foreign policy advisors, george papadopoulos and carter page, had attracted suspicion because of their contacts with russian operatives. republicans were hoping for more revealing information on comey's role in the clinton private email server during the hearing, which comey initially wanted in a public setting rather than behind closed doors. >> when you read the transcript, you will see that we are still talking about hillary clinton's e-mails for heaven's sake. so, i'm not sure we need to do this at all. >> reporter: comey disputed the president's allegation that he and special counsel robert mueller are best friends, comey also told lawmakers that he didn't believe firing mueller alone would be enough to derail the investigation. he is expected back on capitol hill later this month. elaine? >> quijano: all right, jeff,

thanks. a major snowstorm buried parts of north carolina and virginia this weekend. in the blue ridge mountains and nearby foothills, the snow is knee-deep and the roads are a mess. this storm is still pushing through the region tonight. meg oliver is there. >> reporter: a snowstorm packing freezing rain, sleet, and strong winds blasted across the south. a winter wonderland arriving early before the end of fall. >> enjoy the beauty, but respect the danger. >> reporter: north carolina governor roy cooper told residents that more freezing temperatures and snow are coming. >> don't put your life and the lives of first responders at risk by getting out on roads covered with snow and ice. >> reporter: north carolina, oklahoma, and virginia have all declared states of emergencies. you have ever seen the roads that bad? >> no. >> reporter: truck driver mike richie has been stranded on i-40 east outside asheville since saturday night. what were the driving conditions like last night? >> terrible, terrible. that's why we had to pull over. i just called my work and told

him and he's like, "well you have to keep moving when it's snowing." i was like, "we couldn't, there's no way!" >> reporter: in raleigh, more treacherous conditions: this big rig jackknifed on interstate-95. over 1,000 flights were cancelled, leaving passengers stranded at the raleigh airport. cars were stranded on the highway with near zero advice ability on the roads. over 2,000 city trucks are clearing more than 5,000 miles of highways and roads in hazardous conditions. residents are staying home and digging out. the heaviest snow fell in areas around asheville, north carolina with more than a foot of snow here in the mountains. the snowstorm so bad in south carolina even a church kept their doors closed. >> and this is sunday morning. and what you see is nobody there, because the church is closed today. that sends a pretty strong message. >> reporter: the storm isn't over yet. forecasters are predicting several more inches of snow in the asheville area. and with freezing temperatures

overnight, they're bracing for an icy commute in the morning, elaine? >> quijano: all right, meg, thanks. lisa meadows is tracking the storm at our cbs minneapolis station, wcco. what is the latest, lisa? >> reporter: well elaine, we have already seen over a foot and a half of snow from the snow system. it will ride up the east coast dropping more snow especially in some of these locations like north carolina and virginia. those spots underneath this winter storm warning until monday morning. here in the pink, you can see the bulk of the state of virginia, even portions of eastern kentucky, and also tennessee. underneath this winter storm warning, we do anticipate travel impacts nearly impossible travel possible. tonight going into tomorrow, and then also looking at possible power outages. i will time it out for you. here in the purple, that is where we are indicating the potential of more snow fall. but once you get to the warmer part of the storm, in the pink, that's wet snow or even sleet causing some slick roadways-- that is overnight tonight-- and as we go into tomorrow morning, now watch, the morning commute

timeframe for the carolinas still looking at either wet snow, snow fall, or even still rain possible once you get a little further to the east, toward the coast. we will continue with this until the storm finally moves out into the atlantic, but it won't do so until we head into monday afternoon. so more than likely, looking at these travel impacts continuing- - not just for tonight, but for tomorrow morning. before the storm moves out of here, we could add another half- a-foot of snow fall in locations including out into virginia, also looking further out into north carolina, elaine? >> quijano: all right, lisa, thanks. a nationwide search is underway for a mother from colorado who has been missing since thanksgiving. mireya villarreal has the latest. >> reporter: for more than two weeks, no one has seen or heard from 29-year-old kelsey berreth. one of the last places the young mother was seen was on thanksgiving day at a safeway in woodland park, colorado, wearing a white shirt, gray sweater, and blue pants. >> if she is out there and doesn't want to be contacted, just let us know that she's safe

and we'll let her family know. >> reporter: berreth was reported missing on december 2nd. woodland park police officer adam said a few days after thanksgiving her cellphone pinged nearly 800 miles away outside gooding, idaho, not far from where she has family. >> dear god, please keeps the family of kelsey barreth in your heart and soul. >> reporter: in washington state, where some of berreth's family lives, a vigil was held by her brother-in-law brendan kindle. >> if they see her anywhere, please, please, say something. >> reporter: online, thousands are following a facebook page dedicated to the search that is regularly posting pictures and updates on her case. her brother traveled to colorado to help find her, posting, "after arriving at kelsey's house last night and combing through her things, we know one thing is certain, kelsey did not pack to go anywhere. all luggage is here, her purse is all that seems to have gone." berreth's cars are still in

colorado, and police tell me they have searched her home for clues and are working closely with the family to learn more about her, including her life on social media and anyone she has been in contact with. elaine? >> quijano: mireya, thank you. there was a massive cleanup in paris sunday following another day of violent protests. cars were burned and windows smashed across the city. hundreds of protesters spent the night in jail. the protests started a month ago over a gas tax, but now address many issues. president emmanuel macron will address his country monday. a state department official said today the u.s. intends to continue supporting saudi arabia's military interests in yemen, a nation torn apart by four years of civil war. some u.s. senators want to pull that support after the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi. elizabeth palmer is the only u.s. network correspondent inside yemen. she reports tonight from aden.

>> reporter: the actual fighting in yemen's civil war is a long way from aden, but there are still plenty of soldiers around. they help to keep things stable here-- enough anyway for life to resume. the government is quick to thank saudi arabia for helping it win back aden after they lost it to houthi fighters three years ago. prime minister maeen abdulmalik saeed. >> the darkest moments in 2015, the saudis back us, and so yemen cannot fail in chaos. ( explosion ) >> reporter: but to do it, saudi arabia waged-- and is still waging-- a ruthless bombing campaign against the government's enemies, the houthis, often with american weapons. and there is no way to know how many civilians its killed. the americans are backing away from the saudis in the wake of the murder of jamal khashoggi. is that going to hurt you? because if saudi arabia becomes

toxic for america, then yemen does, too. >> yemen is important country. if u.s. wants to stand with yemen, they should decide. it's an important location, they've had a relation with the u.s. for decades. >> reporter: america's support in this war for saudi arabia will come down to a political fight in washington. meanwhile, the casualties are mounting. as many as 85,000 children dead. two million people on the run, and 14 million facing extreme hunger. elizabeth palmer, cbs news, aden. >> quijano: coming up, the controversy over a christmas classic. why some radio stations are refusing to play it. and later, the college football heisman trophy winner weighs in on his past homophobic tweets.
