"empire" actor jussie smollett is sticking to his story, claiming he was the victim of a racist and homophobic assault last month. but now, two nigerian brothers who police arrested and then released without charging them, are telling authorities a story that is different than what smollett reported to police. tony dokoupil has more. >> reporter: a celebrated young actor. >> reporter: a heinous crime. but was it staged? according to a chicago police source, authorities are now investigating that very question. just four weeks after "empire" star jussie smollett first described a racist homophobic attack that shocked the country. >> i seen the attacker masked and he said, "this is maga country, ( bleep )," and punches me right in the face. >> reporter: and just days after smollett went public with new details.

>> i noticed the rope around my neck and i started screaming. and i said, "there's a ( bleep ) rope around my neck." >> reporter: saying he was "pissed off that some people didn't believe him." >> how do you not believe that? it's the truth. >> reporter: the chicago police department said new evidence shifted the trajectory of the investigation after detectives arrested two nigerian brothers identified as ola and abel osundairo. they were seen on surveillance video the night of the incident, and police found rope, masks, and bleach in their apartment. but they were released friday after the brothers told police they bought the rope at a nearby hardware store and participated in the attack at smollett's request, according to a chicago police source. smollett also allegedly paid them. gloria schmidt is the brother's attorney. >> new evidence that was brought to their attention. obviously i had it, obviously my clients had it. >> reporter: through his lawyers, smollett said he has "been angered and devastated by recent reports" that he "played a role in his own attack." adding, "nothing is further from the truth." and chicago police say they now

have more investigative work to complete in this case. one of the nigerian brothers had been an extra on the show, "empire." one was also smollett's trainer, according to smollett's attorney. now david, smollett had just said earlier in the week he will be "forever changed" by this incident. >> begnaud: there are so many twists and turns in this case, tony. initially police were referring to smollett as the "victim." >> reporter: not anymore, as of late today, now they are referring to him as "the individual who reported the case." david. >> begnaud: that's interesting, tony dokoupil, thank you. we are learning new details about the five victims in friday's mass shooting at a warehouse in illinois, just west of chicago. as a community tries to heal, devastated family and friends are mourning the loss of loved ones who went to work and never came home. adriana diaz is there. >> reporter: mourners prayed for the five people who lost their lives just going to work on friday. they gathered here at the henry pratt company, where 45-year-old gary martin killed everyone in the room. right after he was fired. more than 200 officers responded.

the gunman shot five, all but one have been released from the hospital. their identities are still not known. today, we are learning more about the victims. trevor wehner was a student intern studying human resources, friday was his first day. he was sitting in on the suspect's termination meeting. josh pinkard, the plant manager, was a father of three. his neighboring say his family just moved from alabama last year. russell beyer was a mold operator. his father told the "chicago sun times" that his son, a union representative, had helped the suspect get rehired. clayton parks was a human resource manager. he had recently become a father. vicente juárez was likely not in the meeting, because he was a forklift operator. his daughter diana was frantically searching for him friday. >> i left and i called my dad. i called my dad. and he wouldn't answer. i called my dad. i went to the emergency room, asking them, "do you guys have my dad?" "nope." he's never going to come home. never.

>> reporter: there are now five crosses outside henry pratt. they were made by aurora resident greg zanis, who founded "crosses for losses." zanis travels across the country delivering crosses and stars of david at mass shootings like in parkland and las vegas. what is it like to happen here at home? >> when this happens here in my town, i can't leave, i'm part of this. that's what i don't like. >> reporter: in addition to the five lives lost, a sixth employee was shot three times and survived. we spoke to his mother this morning, who told us she was so relieved her son is alive. david, the company plans to open its doors tomorrow for any employees who may want to come in to grieve together. >> begnaud: adriana, that man with the cross was actually in florida for the pulse nightclub shooting. it is incredible to see this happening in his hometown. thank you. the white house is defending president trump's decision to declare a national emergency on the southern border. mr. trump declared the national

emergency on friday to circumvent congress, because they refused to give him all the money he wants for a border wall. errol barnett is in west palm beach. >> reporter: in mission, texas, where the government cleared space for border wall construction, this demonstration against president trump's emergency declaration amplified a single message. >> no border wall! no border wall! >> reporter: it is one aspect of mounting resistance to friday's executive action. texas landowners are among plaintiffs in one lawsuit against president trump's decision, with more lawsuits planned from the a.c.l.u. and the state of california. >> we're in uncharted territory. >> reporter: the only republican house member representing a southern border district is will hurd of texas. >> there's going to be over 1,000 ranchers and farmers potentially impacted. i don't think we needed a national emergency declaration. >> reporter: hurd is also worried about where the money for a wall will come from. with the executive action, $3.6

billion can be redirected from the pentagon's construction projects, which includes funds to build a middle school in kentucky. today, republican senator lindsey graham said it's a worthy exchange. >> i would say it's better for the middle school kids in kentucky to have a secure border. we'll get them the school they need, but right now, we got a national emergency on our hands. >> reporter: house democrats plan to pass a resolution of disapproval, but it is unclear if such a measure would pass the republican-dominated senate. today, a senior advisor for the president was asked what mr. trump would do if the measure does make it through congress. >> yes, he will veto? >> he is going to protect the national emergency declaration, guaranteed. >> reporter: the acting defense secretary patrick shanahan said he has not yet made a military determination on if a border wall is necessary. he was returning from a security conference in germany. he said he will start digging into those details today. he will, of course, have the final say. another defense official says

any determination will be based on the data. david? >> begnaud: errol's with the president at mar-a-lago tonight. thank you, errol. >> begnaud: as congress and the president continue to clash over border security strategy, we asked mireya villarreal to gives us a reality check on exactly what is going on at the border. >> reporter: these images of migrants at the u.s.-mexico border are exactly the ammo president trump has used to declare a national crisis. but a closer look at the actual data from the government's own figures paints a different picture. in 2018, nearly 400,000 people were apprehended by border patrol at the southern border. that's a 76% decrease from the record 1.6 million back in 2000. and contrary to the president's statements, the number of undocumented immigrants in the u.s. is at its lowest since 2004. >> we have tremendous amounts of drugs flowing into our country,

much of it coming from the southern border. when you look and when you listen politicians, in particular certain democrats, they say it all comes through the port of entry. it's wrong, it's wrong. it's just a lie. >> reporter: and according to customs and border protection, a vast majority of drug seizures at the mexico border actually do happen at legal crossing points. what has changed is the dramatic increase in the number of families attempting to cross into the u.s.-- up by 42% in the last year alone, according to customs and border patrol. el paso mayor dee margo, a republican just like the president, says a wall is not a solution. >> reporter: we are a sovereign nation, we need to protect our borders. it won't all be physical barriers, they help channel things, it will be technology and it will be manpower. >> reporter: mireya villarreal, cbs news, dallas. >> begnaud: state department spokeswoman heather nauert is withdrawing her name from

consideration as the next united nations ambassador. she was picked after nikki hailey announced her resignation last year. the former fox news anchor cited "family reasons," for her reason to withdraw. but a senior official tells cbs news a "nanny issue" came up during her vetting and most likely would have been problematic during her congressional hearing. there is a big interview airing tonight on cbs. in his first interview since being fired, former f.b.i. deputy director andrew mccabe is speaking out. he tells scott pelley why he opened up investigations involving president trump. >> i was speaking to the man who had just run for the presidency and won the election for the presidency. and who might have done so with the aid of the government of russia, our most formidable adversary on the world stage. and that was something that troubled me greatly.

>> how long was it after that that you decided to start the obstruction of justice and counterintelligence investigations involving the president? >> i think the next day i met with the team investigating the russia cases. and i asked the team to go back and conduct an assessment to determine where are we with these efforts and what steps do we need to take going forward. i was very concerned that i was able to put the russia case on absolutely solid ground in an indelible fashion that, were i removed quickly or reassigned or fired, that the case could not be closed or vanish in the night without a trace. i wanted to make sure that our case was on solid ground, and if somebody came in behind me and closed it and tried to walk away from it, they would not be able to do that without creating a record of why they've made that decision. >> you wanted a documentary record-- >> that's right. >> --that those investigations had begun, because you feared

that they would be made to go away. >> that is exactly right. >> begnaud: you can see scott pelley's full interview with former f.b.i. deputy director andrew mccabe tonight on "60 minutes." coming up on the "cbs weekend news," why debt is causing car owners to lose their rides. and in florida, a group of jail inmates come to the rescue of an adorable young girl. eart? well, i'm managing my a1c, so i should be all set. right. actually, you're still at risk for a fatal heart attack or stroke. even if i'm taking heart medicine, like statins or blood thinners? yep! that's why i asked my doctor what else i could do... she told me about jardiance. that's right. jardiance significantly reduces the risk of dying from a cardiovascular event for adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease. that's why the american diabetes association recommends the active ingredient in jardiance. and it lowers a1c? yeah- with diet and exercise.

jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. this may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. a rare, but life-threatening, bacterial infection in the skin of the genital area could also occur. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this bacterial infection, ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction. symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. other side effects are sudden kidney problems, genital yeast infections, increased bad cholesterol, and urinary tract infections, which may be serious. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. so, what do you think? now i feel i can do more to go beyond lowering a1c. ask your doctor about jardiance today.

sick and was unable to show up for his job. bankruptcy followed. they eventually got their car back, but only after a court- ordered debt consolidation plan was implemented. >> if you don't have any money saved, yeah, you're screwed. you're out on the street, or you're walking. >> reporter: according to the new york federal reserve, there are now a million more people behind on payments by three months than there were in 2010, when delinquency rates were at their worst. economist austan goolsbee is a former obama white house official now at the university of chicago. he says millions of car loan delinquencies, even for subprime, high-risk borrowers, is a warning sign. is this a canary in the coal mine kind of thing? is this something, when this happens you go, "hmmm, we've go to watch this"? >> yeah, it's in the category of things that makes you go, "hmmmmm." i don't see how you can see a number like that and think, "oh,

everything is just going hunky- dory for everybody and we don't need to worry about it." >> reporter: the new york fed says a large part of the problem involves borrowers under 30 with low credit scores, just the kind of people who may find it hard to buy a car and pay off student loans at the same time. chicago. >> begnaud: still ahead, the biggest crackdown in 25 years on dietary supplements that are taken by millions of americans. if you're age 50 to 85 and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three p's. what are the three p's? the three p's of life insurance on a fixed budget are price, price, and price. a price you can afford, a price that can't increase, and a price that fits your budget. i'm 65 and take medications. what's my price? you can get coverage for $9.95 a month.

>> begnaud: the f.d.a. is cracking down on popular dietary supplements, public health officials warn that some products contain ingredients that are not approved and others claim to have benefits that are unsubstantiated. anna werner has more. >> reporter: in a statement announcing the food and drug administration's action, commissioner gottlieb said 12 warning letters and five advisory letters had been sent to supplement companies whose products the agency said, "are being illegally marketed as unapproved new drugs, because they claim to prevent, treat or cure alzheimer disease as well

as health conditions like diabetes and cancer." the f.d.a. found one company claimed its product had "proven effectiveness against numerous deadly viruses," and another had touted "reducing symptoms of cognitive decline." in the 25 years since the f.d.a. began regulating dietary supplements, they have become a $40 billion industry. gottlieb said in an online statement that, he is concerned that "changes in the supplement market may have outpaced the evolution of our own policies and our capacity to manage emerging risks." the trade group that represents supplement manufacturers today applauded any effort by f.d.a. to take what it calls "bad actors" out of the marketplace. the council for responsible nutrition, steve mister. >> when you have companies that don't abide by quality standards or make unreasonable claims for their products, it hurts consumer confidence for all of the legitimate products. >> reporter: while that industry group says it supports any crackdown on "bad actors," its

representative told us they won't support proposals for what it calls "unwarranted regulatory burdens for industry," like government approval being required before new products hit the market. anna warner, cbs news, new york. >> begnaud: this is a good one-- a baby trapped in a vehicle in florida was rescued thursday with the help of a group of inmates from the county jail. the parents of one-year-old dallas panicked, because they had mistakenly locked her in their s.u.v. well, inmates from the pasco county sheriff's office, who just so happened to be out of jail on work duty, helped deputies and dallas' parents get the door open. we are happy to report baby dallas, cute as she is, is also okay. coming up next on the "cbs weekend news," how modern day shipwreck hunters are using the latest technology to solve deep sea mysteries of the past. we'll take you along for a heck of a ride. it was here.

shipwreck hunter, he may have found something. >> you know, you just hate to throw it out there on the table. >> reporter: he's aboard the research vessel, "petrel," hundreds of miles from anywhere in the south pacific searching for an american war-grave that has been lost for 77 years. >> here we go. >> reporter: his tools, the latest technology: an underwater drone that scans the ocean floor three-and-a-half miles down. >> enemy planes scored several hits on the hornet. >> reporter: the "u.s.s. hornet" was an aircraft carrier involved in the crucial 1942 battle for guadalcanal. it would be her last battle. 140 of her crew were killed that day, the rest were ordered to abandon ship before she went down. but, where exactly? this is needle in a haystack country is what you're talking about? >> yeah, absolutely. >> reporter: rob and the crew have to guess where to search, using the rough positions reported by other ships at the

time. >> let's start bringing it in nice and slow. >> reporter: the drone resurfaces, it's hours of recorded images show mile after mile of empty seabed. until... how about in the top left? what does that look like? that looks suspiciously like a ship. to find out if it is the ship, they launch another tool: a remote-controlled sub with live cameras. it dives 17,000 feet down through a dark, strange world, where a ghost ship emerges. >> this is it, this is hornet. >> reporter: this is hornet? >> this is hornet. >> reporter: well done. >> the actual fact that you can find these ships is mind- boggling to me. >> reporter: richard nowatzki was an 18-year-old gunner on the hornet that day. he's 95 now. we set up a video link from the ship to california so he could see the hornet again, even the gun he was on. does it seem like a familiar place?

>> yes, it does. i used to stand on the right side of that gun. if you go down to my locker, there's 40 bucks in it, you can have it. ( laughs ) >> reporter: silent guns, the hanger deck, discarded clothing, a wash kit-- testaments to those who had fought and died here. >> there were a lot of them, and young guys. you realize that you could be a dead person, you know? i want to thank you for honoring me this way. >> reporter: but it is those who found the hornet who are honored, and a memorial, a lost grave, now has a place. mark phillips, cbs news, in the south pacific. >> begnaud: what a story, right? and what an assignment for mark phillips. that is the "cbs weekend news" for us this sunday. later tonight on cbs, "60 minutes." i'm david begnaud at the broadcast center in new york. for all of us at cbs news, thank you for watching and have a good night. captioning sponsored by cbs captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org

up.. and leaving the crew -- with a now at 6:00, a hot air balloon goes down hard in a bay area marsh, leaving passengers shaken up, leaving the crew with a nightmare clean up job. good evening to you i'm juliette goodrich. >> i'm brian hackney. 12 people on the balloon when it made a sudden landing near vallejo. no one was seriously hurt, but the area was so swampy. rescuers needed a helicopter to reach them. >> the balloon splashed down in a marsh near the napa river just after 10:00 a.m., taking off from the sonoma sky park. that's where kpix 5 katie nielsen has exclusive video of the rescue. katie? >> reporter: emergency responders told us the pilot told them after the rescue that this morning, when they were flying, winds were pushing the

balloon about 50 miles an hour, so he decided to land in the marsh area. then when the tide came up, they needed the chp helicopter to come in and help. >> it had a blight balloon on it, standing out pretty well amongst the balloons standing on it. >> reporter: the chp helicopter pilot, rich jones, the one who first spotted that down balloon and recorded everything he was seeing, using the on board cameras. >> we were able to use the camera systems to zoom in and start getting the head count. we could see everybody was up on their feet, so it did not appear they were injured. >> reporter: the balloon pilot did not want to talk to us on camera, but told us the balloon took off from the usual location at sonoma sky park at sunrise, which this morning was right around 7:00 a.m. he said there were 11 passengers on board. half were staff members of the balloon company sonoma ballooning adventures. the rest were paying guests. spear said the plan was
