nationwide, you can see it looks like -- looks like january. anthony? >> bury the headline there. >> sums it up. thank you, ed curran. we are learning stunning new details about the fbi's investigation into president trump. according to the nightmar-- "th york times," the fbi was so concerned when president trump fired form director james comey that it launched a counterintelligence investigation to look into whether mr. trump was secretly working for russia. errol barnett with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, look, we've known that former fbi director comey's firing has been a focal point of special counsel robert mueller's russia probe and whether the dismissal constituted obstruction of justice. but "the new york times" spoke with former law enforcement officials and those familiar with the matter who said they weighed whether the president's actions undermined national security. shortly after president trump

fired his then-fbi director, james comey, in may, 2017, law enforcement officials reportedly began investigating whether the president was working on behalf of russia. "the new york times" reports that fbi officials launched an inquiry after the president connected comey's dismissal to the russia investigation on two occasions. >> i was going to fire comey knowing there was no good time to do it. >> reporter: once in this nbc interview in which president trump appeared to say he dismissed comey because of the russia probe -- >> in fact, when i decided to just do it, i said to myself, i said, you know, this russia thing with trump and russia is a made-up story. it's an excuse by the democrats for having lost an election that they should have won. >> reporter: and the other instance that reportedly alarmed investigators was a letter mr. trump wrote to comey in which he thanked comey for telling him he was not a subject of the fbi's russia investigation. >> there was no collusion. >> reporter: president trump has vehemently denied any wrongful connection to moscow. and so far there has been no

evidence made public that mr. trump was in secret contact with or took direction from russian officials. press secretary sarah sanders fired back against the report writing in a statement, "this is absurd. james comey was fired because he's a disgraced partisan hack. president trump has actually been tough on russia." the counterintelligence probe was wrapped into the russia investigation, but it's unclear if special counsel mueller is still pursuing that angle of it. investigators also reportedly considered opening this aspect of the investigation during the 2016 election, but we're unsure of -- but were unsure of how to proceed with something with such a high magnitude of importance. michelle? >> sounds like a lot still left to unravel. errol barnett in washington. thank you so much. we are now in the midst of the longest shutdown of the federal government in history. at the stroke of midnight, the shutdown entered its 22nd day with no apparent end in sight.

congress and president trump are at an impasse over funding for a wall at the southern border. >> a cbs poll finds 55% of americans disapprove of the president's actions over the shutdown. 43% disapprove of the job congressional democrats are doing to end it, while 53% don't like how republicans in congress are handling the situation. kenneth craig has the latest on this record shutdown. no one seems happy right now. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. president trump has walked back his vow to declare a national emergency if he has to to get his wall. with most lawmakers at home for the weekend, negotiations between the white house and congressional democrats have fallen apart with no new talks or plans in sight. >> i said i could do it, but -- i'll tell you why, it's the easy way out. >> reporter: president trump friday backed away from his earlier insistence on declaring a national emergency to get his border wall. >> this is something that

congress should easily do. this is something that the democrats should do. >> reporter: but just a day earlier -- >> if we don't make a deal, i would say it would be very surprising to me that i would not declare a national emergency. >> reporter: on friday he doubled down on democrats to fund his wall. >> they could name it whatever they can name it peaches, i don't care what they name it. we need money for that barrier. >> i'm a mother of five, grandmother of nine. i know a temper tantrum when i see one. >> reporter: a cbs news poll found that 47% of americans say they blame president trump for the partial government shutdown. 30% say they blame democrats in congress, and just 3% blame republicans. >> we have a congress that's being invaded by criminals and by drugs. >> reporter: a majority of americans, 55% of them, believe the situation on the southern border is a problem, not a

crisis. a growing number of republicans are expressing concern at the president trying to bypass congress. >> i think that there's a fair, legitimate question as to whether or not he does have that legal authority. we are going down a road that i think erodes those clear lines of authorities between the three separate but equal branches of government. >> reporter: meanwhile, federal workers wait to get paid. >> federal employees are bearing the brunt of something on their back for a policy initiative that really we don't have anything to do with. >> many of them agree with what i'm saying. and i appreciate their incredible support. >> reporter: before they left washington, congress passed legislation to ensure that federal workers receive back pay. the president says he will sign that bill, but until he and democrats reach a deal, it's unclear when federal employees will get that paycheck, anthony. >> kenneth, thank you very much. let's take a deeper look at these and other developments. we're joined by leslie sanchez,

cbs news political contributor and republican strategist. good morning. >> good morning. >> i'm looking at the headlines in "the new york times" and the "washington post," no end in sight for the longest ever shutdown. the russstigated if trump worked this is a government in deep distress. >> very much so. and that's one thing i think collectively we can agree on. regardless of your political idealogy, there's a lot of turmoil with an unorthodox president. the question is where do we go from here, and strategically who's in the best position. i think people would be surprised. the argument i'll make is that the president strategically is playing the long game. he is setting this up like a very high-stakes poker match where he's holding the straight flush, and the democrats are bluffing. and i say that because if you -- the republicans have learned national security is an issue that moves the dial when you're talking about public sentiment. this week he spent time saying basically game on was the oval address to the nation. secondly, he tagged the negotiation -- you don't want to negotiate with me, walks out almost like a businessman which we know he is as opposed to a

traditional president. third, he escalates this by going to the border. and he's there with law enforcement. >> it's almost like he's thrown a wrench in it. now he's saying the key -- the key piece is the border wall. back during his campaign he said mexico would pay for it. now he's saying i didn't say that. this has got to be some sort of whiplash for the party. >> the party has been frustrated for probably three decades that republicans have never come through on the issue of real border security. so it's not necessarily it was the president's idea. he understood the pulse of the issue. we don't talk -- there's not talk about a broken immigration system which used to be that because nobody really -- there wasn't an appetite especially among conservatives to talk about comprehensive reform, daca, path to citizenship. now you hear the president talking about that. that's almost the olive branch, saying we can negotiate on those terms, and republicans really --

he may be -- president trump may be to immigration what nixon was to china in the sense of bringing both sides, dragging both sides to the middle to do some real reform. i'm not saying it's not going to be painful. >> where does that come? what is it, the bottom line of we get back to the table and get something done? >> if you think of it that the white house is playing strategically the long game, they think time is on their side versus a tactical approach that the democrats are taking. >> why is time on their side? >> because the president knows if he backs away from any type of concession on this wall, so now we're seeing things like, well it could be a different type of barrier. we've gone from concrete to steel, we could go to virtual. he cannot capitulate on the issue. there has to be something there. now he's saying he will not escalate to a national emergency, but we don't know that. that's the question. as time goes on, he may feel i did everything i could, but this was the last alternative for the

country and national security. that's the card you have to watch. >> something's working in the messaging because we didn't even talk about that bombshell "new york times" headline about the president and the fbi investigation. thank you. we are simply out of time. >> thank you. hawaii congresswoman tulsi gabbard will seek the democratic nomination for president in 2020. the 37-year-old announced her candidacy on friday. gabbard is an iraq war veteran who was first elected to congress in 2012. she's also the first member of congress to be born in american samoa and the first hindu member of congress. gabbard caused controversy in 2016 when she had a secret meeting with syrian dictator bashar al assad. police in northern wisconsin are trying to piece together the bizarre abduction of jayme closs three months after she disappeared without a trace following the murder of her parents. the 13-year-old is reconnecting with loved ones this weekend. she managed to break free on thursday and lead investigators to arrest the man suspected of

couch before the police came, i said, hey, i am so happy to see you. so. >> reporter: did she say anything back? >> she said, "thank you." >> reporter: is it hard to talk about that moment? >> just that, reporter: why is? >> i don't know, because i didn't believe she was alive, you know. and being a dad, you know, it's -- it just gets to me when i talk about it. >> reporter: with the 13-year-old's description of the suspect's car, police arrested 21-year-old jake thomas patterson within 11 minutes. according to authorities, he was in his car looking for her. >> he is currently being held on two counts of first-degree intentional homicide for the murder of jayme's parents and one count of kidnapping. >> reporter: what contact did the suspect have with jayme beforehand? >> we're trying to figure out now. we believe it was very -- we believe there was really none. no contact. >> reporter: her parents, james and denise o d in their barron home on october 15th. police received a mostly inaudible 911 call before 1:00

this is such an important topic because we have the most refugees in the world since world war ii. and you are a refugee since when you were a child, even before you were shot. >> yes. the number of refugees has been the highest since the second world war. and this is a current issue, and oftentimes when we hear about refugees we hear about them in figures and numbers. and we hear about them, but we never hear from them. we never hear what they want to say, what their dreams are, what their aspirations are. i have met many refugee girls in refugee camps around the world, and you know, just seeing how -- how like ignorant some people are or how we don't know enough

about these issues, i decided to write this book and hope that people will learn more about refugees and hear from them. >> because you want people to know that these are human beings with hopes for a better future, and that this evacuation in many cases was not a choice, it was a matter of survival. can you talk about that a little bit? >> well, first of all, i think about my own situation when the taliban came to our valley, took away our education. they took away more than 400 schools, peace from us. our last choice was to leave. for most of these girls, most of these women and children around the world who are going through conflicts right now, going through wars right now, their last choice is to become refugees, but that's often the only choice to survive. they want to live in a peaceful place. they want to have a home. they want to have a future for their children. and that's often the things that we don't hear. and i think that's something that i want people to understand.

investigation, but it is unclear whether that part of the inquiry is still being pursued. in a series of tweets this morning, president trump criticized "the new york times" and former fbi leaders saying the investigation was opened with no reason and no proof. the partial federal government shutdown is now in its 22nd day, making it the longest closure in history. about 800,000 federal employees missed paychecks on friday. and while the house and senate voted to give them back pay, congress adjourned for the weekend without a clear plan on how to reopen the government. president trump, who was at an impasse with house democrats over more than $5 billion to build a wall along the southern border, backed off his idea to declare a national emergency in order to secure those funds. >> the easy solution is for me to call a national emergency. i could do that quickly. i have the absolute right to do it, but i'm not going to do it so fast because this is

something congress should do. >> a cbs news poll out friday finds a majority of americans, 55%, do not approve of the way the president is handling the shutdown. 46% disapprove of the way congressional democrats are dealing with it. 53% don't like the way republicans in congress are handling the situation. >> that same poll finds 62% of americans are concerned about the impact the shutdown will have on transportation and air travel. and the government's closure is now beginning to tax the nation's aviation system. kris van kleave is at miami national airport this morning where one of the concourses will be closed for most of the weekend. say it ain't so, kris. >> reporter: good morning. this is one of those tangible impacts of the shutdown. this is the concourse that's going to close starting this afternoon, every afternoon for at least the next few days. that's going to free up the tsa officers who are here on the job working again without pay today

to go to busier checkpoints. this as the shutdown is rolling into week three. miami's airport calls the decision to close concourse g starting after 1:00 p.m. a precautionary measure after tsa sick calls here have doubled this week. nationally they're up about 50%, but the vast majority of workers remain on the job, even after receiving pay stubs like this one showing zero dollars. >> everybody now is probably at the highest point of anxiety that they've been since this whole thing has started. the reality is setting in that we're not going to get paid. >> reporter: tsa leaders remain worried about a national tipping point when screeners look elsewhere for work. you didn't get a paycheck. >> that's correct. the impact is the ability for me to pay my bills. >> reporter: helen porshay is a furloughed faa inspector. she's worried about safety. >> who's minding the store right now? nobody. >> reporter: with the faa furloughed, regional carrier silver airways has brand-new planes sitting in a ft. lauderdale hangar it can't fly.

20,000 air traffic controllers became the latest union to sue the trump administration over the shutdown yesterday. air traffic controllers are on the job working without pay. one little piece of good news for tsa officers like the ones behind me here, if they worked december 22nd, the administrator says they're going to pay them for the one day because it should have been in the last pay period but fell during the shutdown. they're at least going to get one day of pay next week. anthony? >> not much but at least it's something. thanks. a powerful winter storm is bringing heavy snow to parts of the midwest. the storm is expected to move to parts of the east and mid-atlantic states. st. louis and other cities are expected to get as much as a foot of snow today. rush hour traffic on friday night in st. louis was dangerous with some vehicles losing control on snowy highways. some major roads were closed. an american eagle plane in columbia, missouri, skidded off a runway during the storm. the airport's two runways were shut down. none of the 80 people aboard the

>> you never expect it, but when it comes you answer the call. i was just about speechless. >> reporter: since breaking the gender barrier, thomas has remained focused on the game. >> you tuck your hair under the hat when you're out there. why is that? >> to truly blend in. and if i have a ponytail, you know, then i separate myself immediately. and so tucking my hair, i blend in, and i'm just another official. >> reporter: long before she suited up in stripes, thomas was a college basketball standout and recalled her own brushes with the refs. >> maybe at times when they made a controversial call that i didn't think was right i voiced my opinion. i think they would get just as aggravated with me at times, too. when i started in football fairyatig, i -- officiating, i had no idea the amount of pride they took in trying to get the game right. >> reporter: sunday will mark the third playoff showdown between tom brady and his chargers counterpart philip rivers. will be another first for thomas

in a special edition of "the dish," we met the chef behind some of the most inventive italian cuisine on both coasts. casey lane is a fourtime semi finalist for the james beard foundation's rising star chef award. "g.q." called his first eatery one of the ten best new restaurants in america, and "food and wine" says lane is dominating late-night dining in l.a. we sat down with him at two of his popular restaurants, both located inside newly built hotels. not bad for a chef still in the early years of his career. you are a little superstitious about all this success at such an early age? >> i just feel out of place most of the time. >> why? >> because we didn't like go the path of -- that everyone's traveled. we didn't do the big-name chef, the big-name restaurant, the big-name company behind you. we kind of just did it

ourselves. >> reporter: that do-it-yourself attitude was the key to success for 35-year-old casey lane, one of l.a.'s most prolific chefs and now owner of the new viale dei romani, a west hollywood favorite. >> it's kind of like the transient people throughout italy. a lot of pakistani. a lot of north africans. we wanted it to be a bit of the way of the gypsies. >> reporter: the result, southern italian cuisine with a twist. this is billed as an italian restaurant. but i see these spanish and north african influences. like how does that marinate? >> i think it marinates with the change in time. the way that italy is not only italians now, you know. there are a lot of other people that live, breathe, eat there, shop there, you know, own stores. >> reporter: the menu includes dishes like falafel cencin and saffron sauteed rice with clams. >> sauteed rices are hard not to be my favorite. we wanted to create a menu of

things that really not a lot of other people offer. >> reporter: viale dei romani is the main dining room of the new hotel where lane shows off with firepower. you look like you're enjoying this. >> i do. i really like this. i really like cooking with fire. >> reporter: the wood-fired oven pizza has been called some of the best in the city. it's quatro formaggio topped with mushrooms is a favorite. cheers. when did you discover this is my passion? i want to be a chef? >> i love the idea of families having dinner together. you know, that was like when i was 5 years old cooking with my grandfather, it was the only way he could get all of my aunts and uncles around the same table. they were in their 20-somethings, there were five of them, they were all over the place. i saw the way that he would come

when he -- they would come when he cooked. >> reporter: he fell in love with cooking at the fine dining institution clark lewis and headed south to los angeles to open the tasting kitchen, one of the toughest reservations along venice's abbott kenny boulevard. why does it work? >> it was 2009, so everyone was -- almost ten years ago. it was a recession, right, and everyone was wanting to go real rustic and simple and cheap. and there was a part of me that's always been like, well, if everyone's going to create a cacophony here, let's walk a different path. so we did. we opened kind of a higher end dining house, dinner house. we are going to do only whole-animal butchery. we're going to cure, make all of the breads, all of the pasta, do every single thing by hand. >> reporter: your gut said go against the grain, go big or go home. >> handcrafted. >> reporter: handcrafted. and we're going to be nice. >> we're going to be really nice to people. we're going to have a lot of humility inside of us.

like always remembering that we're so excited to have the people who come enjoy what we're doing. >> reporter: lane's big on up-and-coming neighborhoods. from venice to west hollywood and now downtown los angeles. when i was growing up here, this was basically skid row. >> it has definitely like progressed for sure. i mean, behind us we have lebron james playing basketball now. the museum went in. nokia's there. we have a beautiful building that was one of the older hotels in los angeles. >> reporter: his latest venture is inside the restored hotel figueroa. the specialty -- >> the dry ice is going to kill the gin down before i add the soda -- >> reporter: a gin and tonic that's other-worldly. >> it releases a little bit of the aromas. >> reporter: this is fun to watch! pinchos or small bites aculture the experience. inspired by lane's travels through bass country. >> we have a sea urchin noon,

bacon-wrapped dates, one. my favorite things on the planet. >> reporter: but the hotel's restaurant anchor is the culinary showcase. what's this? >> that's the r i'm gl on. but good here. from pitch to heaping plates of paella. >> everyone has fun because you get to make your own dish out of it. >> reporter: i sense that every restaurant has little bit of something from -- >> they share, for sure. any good brand shares a red thread. it ties together like a group of products or offerings that somehow have a very similar kind of feel. >> reporter: back up lane's got even bigger fish on the fryer. will i see lane hotel? >> lane -- we will definitely -- we will definitely get to the point to where we're ready to just launch a few small

properties that are very dear to us and whatever happens from there, well, god bless it. we want to do them right. it will be fun. >> reporter: can i tell you one thi thing, though? this hummus is off the chain. >> amazing. absolutely amazing. >> reporter: oh, my god. >> i love how you started that story -- with your mouth full. and it never stopped. >> i mean, michelle, where's the food again? >> i know. >> you didn't bring one of those gin and tonics with the dry ice steaming out? >> i'm sorry. he's amazing. >> i got to go. i got -- i got to go. that looks so good. wow. lane. all right. for years he's been making big waves across the pond. up next on our "saturday sessions," when you think of the uk's bestselling artists, ed sheeran and adele may come to mind. last year, george ezra topped them all with britain's bestselling album of 2018. he'll perform right here in studio 57 next. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday."
