[ applause ] ptioniund cbs i love it. there were also phones where you could hang up or listen in without anyone hearing. >> yeah. you had to be sneaky. you could put the button down. >> i have no idea what you're talking about. never happened. >> the thing about hanging up on people, people have hung up on me a couple of times. i call them back and say, "did you just hang up on me?" makes them even madder. oh, the good old days. >> you can still throw your phone across the room. >> the rotary phones were great. hey, welcome to cbs news. we're following this breaking news, jussie smollett, the his tv show after the first

court appearance. his lawyers said in a statement the actor feels betrayed by a system that wants to skip due process and proceed directly sentencing. >> others say they feel betrayed that smollett allegedly told a made-up story to police and the media. dean reynolds is in chicago. dean, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. smollett was released from jail yesterday after posting a $100,000 bond and surrendering his passport. for someone who less than a month ago was receiving messages of sympathy and support, it was a sad and stunning turn of events. >> step over, please. >> reporter: jussie smollett has made a living performing in front of television cameras. but on thursday, he wanted nothing to do with them as we walked out of a chicago jail. >> jussie, did you lie -- >> reporter: earlier in court, smollett sat impassably as the judge told the 36-year-old actor that the charges, if true, are utterly outrageous. police superintendent eddie johnson was also visibly angry.
7:05 am
>> why would anyone, especially an african-american man, use the symbolism of a noose to make false accusations? >> reporter: smollett had told police last month he was attacked by masked trump supporters who hung a rope around his neck and doused him with an unknown chemical. all while yelling racist and homophobic slurs. johnson said it was all a publicity stunt to get smollett a bigger salary on "empire." >> my concern is that hate crimes will now publicly be met with a level of skepticism that previously didn't happen. >> reporter: johnson said smollett's story started unraveling last week after police arrested two men smollett would later say were his attackers. they turned out to be friends of his, ola and abel osundairo. after two days of questioning, the brothers said smollett had actually hired them to stage the attack, even giving them $100 to buy supplies. assistant state's attorney risa lanier --

7:07 am
unfortunate to inject maga supporters in this, considering the climate of the times that we live in. and i know people who have talked to jussie smollett who still insist he did not do this. i know there are two sides to y firm on that. i think we should acknowledge the chicago police who from the very beginning have treated this case with the utmost respect saying, listen, he is not a suspect. we are looking, we are taking this seriously. he's cooperating with us. with every step of the ay, the chicago police were on top of it. without indicting -- without saying anything disparaging about jussie smollett, even when it seemed that they had doubts early on. >> i send the kudos to the chicago police because at the same time our reporting revealed on an off-the-record basis they had doubts about the story, but publicly they maintained their professionalism. and this is where we're at, and the legal system is going to work its way through it. >> the city on the heels of a mayoral election, too. >> there's still more to come on this story. but i believe that the truth will ultimately come out.
7:08 am
the authorities gave a very detailed tick-tock yesterday about what led them to arrest jussie smollett. >> we will continue to follow the story. >> yes, we will. in other news, north carolina election officials ordered a do-over in the country's last undecided congressional race after a dramatic change of heart by the leading candidate. republican mark harris conceded tainted by possible election fraud. sometimes emotional testimony about alleged misdeeds by a political operative working for his campaign. david begnaud is in rally. david, good morning. >> reporter: bianna, good morning. let me set the scene. the congressional candidate's son gets on the stand and says "i told my mom and dad in e-mail and on the phone that something seemed shady about this one man, and i was suspicious about what was going on. apparently, the candidate, mark harris, didn't know the son was going to say that on the stand and didn't know that the emails would be entered into evidence.
7:09 am
when the candidate got on the stand, right as he was about to be cross-examined with the evidence, he asked for a break. when they came back for a break, the candidate said, "i had two recent strokes, i made some misstatements, and i'm having trouble remembering things." >> it has become clear to me that the public's confidence in the ninth district seat general election has been undermined to an extent that a new election is warranted. >> reporter: it was a stunning reversal by republican mark harris, following four days of witness testimony about claims of ballot fraud. allegedly involving this man, mcrae dowless, who harris dowless is accused of hiring workers to illegally collect absentee ballots, forge voter and witness signatures, and in some cases fill out ballots for republican candidates. >> i just -- i didn't sense that. >> reporter: yesterday harris testified in front of the board of elections that he was unaware of any concerns regarding dowless. the tipping point was his son who testified earlier in the week. >> i love my dad, i love my mom. >> reporter: mark harris looked
7:10 am
on in tears as his son, john, who is an attorney himself, said he repeatedly warned his dad. >> i told him in the phone call that i thought they were illegally collecting the ballots. >> reporter: the younger harris had said that on the phone and in e-mails. his father realizing he was going to be questioned about it admitted misstatements and said health issues had affected his memory. he asked the board for a new election. >> say aye. >> aye. >> reporter: the head of north carolina's gop, dallas woodhouse, said the outcome is devastating. do you think that a new election is the right decision? >> i think what we have stated is we support dr. harris' decision to call for another election. >> reporter: but is that the right decision? >> i think because he called for it it is the right decision. >> reporter: the attorney for the democrat candidate called the decision a win for the north carolina voers. >> they will have an opportunity to have a free and fair election that is not the product of fraud or taint. >> reporter: you know who people
7:11 am
really wanted to hear from? mcrae dowless, the man at the center of the investigations. he claims he's innocent, but, gayle, he refused to testify at the hearing. so, what's next? a brand-new election. they're going all the way back to the beginning, the primary. we don't know if mr. harris is going to run again. at the end of the day, the ninth district is not being represented in congress. there is nobody in that seat while this situation gets figured out. >> oh, more to come on this story. interesting dynamic between father and son. thank you very much, david. this morning the vatican summit on clergy misconduct is focusing on senior catholic officials who ignored sex abuse cases. the archbishop of chicago, cardinal blase cupich, told bishops the church should reject cover-ups created out of fear of legal issues or scandal. he spoke after the chicago archdiocese admitted, quote, a very small number of priests have fathered children, and four remain priests in the archdiocese.
7:12 am
nikki battiste spoke with cardinal cupich yesterday. nikki, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the archdiocese its us the last time a priest fathered a child was nearly 20 years ago, and that each child was provided financial support through college age. that revelation came after we interviewed cardinal cupich, and he did not address it this morning. >> the church as a loving mother must continually open herself to the heartbreaking reality of children whose wounds will never heal. >> reporter: before speaking to nearly 200 catholic leaders at a archdiocese of chicago, cardinal blase cupich, sat down with us. how's the summit going so far? >> the meeting really, i think, is off to a good start where the holy father had a very, i think, very strong introduction welcoming people. and then giving the number of points in which he wanted us to look at as we move forward. >> reporter: some of those reflection points the pope provides, establishing
7:13 am
specific protocols for handling accusations against bishops and creating groups comprised of clerics and lay people for victims who want to report any crimes. >> it's clear to me that where the holy father is going on this and what i'm marrying from the other bishops is that there are going to be concrete procedures, concrete steps. >> i tried to say no -- >> reporter: that's what dozens of survivors who followed the bishops to rome are looking for, demanding the church adopt reforms to punish not only priests who abuse children but also bishops who cover it up. is the cover-up more of a focus this time around here? >> the holy father has made it very clear that if someone mishandles this even if it's not out of malice or their fault, objectively if they mess it up, they are going to be risking being removed from office. >> reporter: at the summit, church leaders watched video testimony from several survivors. >> i don't think there was a person in the room who did not feel a sense of urgency but also
7:14 am
disgust at what they said. >> reporter: cupich spoke with other victims privately. how was your meeting with the 12 survivors? >> it was very enlightening. i encouraged them to keep speaking. we need to hear their voices. they're the ones that got us here. >> reporter: the summit is expected to end on sunday, but cardinal cupich tells cbs news the pope asked him and the organizing committee to stay a few extra days. he says that's when they'll meet with senior vatican officials to discuss those concrete measures the pope wants. norah? >> glad to hear they're spending extra time. nikki battiste in rome, thank you. in a partial reversal, the trump administration says it will keep 200 u.s. troops in syria. pentagon sources tell us the decision yesterday took the military by surprise. never a good thing. president trump said in december he would withdraw all 2,000 u.s. troops in syria and claimed victory over isis. now that decision prompted defense secretary jim mattis to resign, to leave office in protest. and it triggered a bipartisan backlash from congress. senator lindsey graham applauded
7:15 am
yesterday's move. he said in a statement, quote, this will ensure that isis does not return. former trump adviser roger stone is barred from speaking in public about his ongoing criminal case. federal judge amy berman jackson issued a gag order yesterday after stone posted a photo on instagram showing the judge along with what appear to be the crosshairs of a gun. stone called the photo a stupid lapse of judgment and told the judge, "i am kicking myself over my own stupidity." stone was arrested in his home nearly a month ago. he's pleaded not guilty to seven charges filed by special counsel robert mueller including lying to congress and witness tampering. a record-breaking winter storm is pounding the southwest for a second day. winter weather alerts are in effect for much of arizona, new mexico, colorado, and utah. the all-time daily record in flagstaff, arizona, fell as the storm dumped nearly 36 inches of snow. that beat the previous record of 31 inches set in 1915. carter evans is in flagstaff
7:16 am
with how people are coping with the historic storm. carter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, it's historic, all right. this is record snowfall. big time. look at how high it's filing imhere and it's still snowing. and they've already declared a state of emergency here in prescott and also in flagstaff. people across flagstaff shoveled furiously to try and keep up with the storm, but with the snow falling at up to two inches an hour, that was no easy task. there was so much snow we saw some people skiing down the middle of the street. but it's not all fun and games. even with 35 plows and help from the arizona department of transportation, the county had trouble clearing the 750 miles of roadway. across arizona roads and parts of major interstates have forced to shut down. some drivers got stuck, including hew reolds. >> at 100 feet in is when i knew
7:17 am
there was problems. cars lined up. we were stuck there for 4 1/2 hours. >> reporter: in payson, the biggest storm in two decades dumped at least 17 inches. the town usually gets just under two feet for the entire winter season. >> my first. >> reporter: your first? what do you think -- >> this is bad. >> reporter: the storm hit other areas that aren't so used to snow. this is drone video outside las vegas at red rock canyon. schoolkids in pasadena, california, went crazy over the falling snow as did actor jerry o'connell who couldn't believe it was snowing in calabasas, just outside los angeles. >> look at this. look. snow. snow. not hail -- snow. >> reporter: well, here in flagstaff, the snow is expected to stop sometime today. and then, of course, it's time to dig out. and they've got a lot of work to do. they have been working on the roads. there will probably be a lot more traffic today once the snow stops but the storm is not over. it's headed east and it could bring a foot of snow to kansas and the plains.

>> does look beautiful out there, carter, thank you. this morning, we are remembering peter tork, the bass player for the monkees, and an unlikely teen idol. ♪ oh what can it mean to a daydream believer ♪ ♪ and a >> tork died at his home after a long battle with cancer. he and his band mates became overnight stars 1966, with three number one hits. for a while they outsould the beatles and the rolling stones. >> the band was created for the emmy winning tv show "the monkees." they broke up but reunited in the 1980s making another top-40 hit and occasionally going on the road. he told anthony mason sunday in 2016 that the group would never quit. >> if one of us drops, the other will go on as the monkee. >> hey, hey, it's the monkee, and people say i monkey around.

adriana diaz shows what's at stake in this legal fight. good morning. >> good morning. the two men say after years of being shamed into silence, this documentary gives them a chance to tell their full, uncensored story. the jackson estate denies the men's claims so strongly that the first sentence of its lawsuit states, quote, michael jackson is innocent, period. >> everybody wanted to meet michael or be with michael. and then he likes you. >> reporter: this trailer is the only video hbo's released of the nearly four-hour documentary, "leaving neverland," in which wade robson and james safechuck allege michael jackson sexually abused them. >> hello, wade. today is your birthday. >> reporter: it's set to air on hbo for the first time on march 3rd. but the michael jackson estate is pressuring hbo to try to stop that. a 53-page lawsuit claims the cable giant is violating a 1992 contract which it says prevents the network from disparaging the late singer. that contract was signed when hbo aired jackson's "dangerous tour" concert. the lawsuit alleges hbo is profiting by airing a
7:43 am
documentary that falsely claims michael jackson was abusing children on the same tour. it's hard to imagine a more direct violation of the non-disparagement clause. entertainment attorney domenic romano. >> the jackson estate must be thinking, look, we can't let this stand. we have strong economic interests in the reputation of michael jackson. we ket can't let documentarians go unchallenged. >> magical child adventure -- >> reporter: he says the estate faces a tough battle arguing the case. >> they're going to have to show that the statements that these accusers are making are false. and they're going to have a difficult time doing that given that they weren't in the room. >> reporter: in a statement thursday, hbo stood by the documentary saying, "despite desperate lengths to undermine the film, our plans remain unchanged. this will allow everyone the opportunity to assess the film and the claims in it for themselves."
7:44 am
throughout his career, jackson repeatedly maintained his innocence and was acquitted of child molestation charges in 2005. years later, the film and the lawsuit are likely to reignite the debate over the accusations against the king of pop. >> i think it's a gift to hbo and the documentarians. it's giving them lots of free publicity, and it's having the opposite of its intended effect. >> reporter: the jackson estate argues that it was irresponsible for the filmmakers to not include any defense of jackson from those who knew him. the lawsuit asks the court to order arbitration and says the damages could exceed $100 million. >> i know there are intense feelings on both sides but right now, hbo is planning to go ahead with its documentary as scheduled? >> that's what they say. >> more to come, certainly, on this story. >> exactly. exactly right. >> thank you. next, a look morning's other headlines including how nike's college basketball shoe failure comes with, yep, a billion-dollar price tag. gosh. this was everywher
