7:04 am
people who say president trump's former campaign chairman got off easy. a judge sentenced manafort to 47 months yesterday for fraud and tax evasion. not related to the trump campaign. that sentence is far less than the nearly 25 years prosecutors wanted. >> manafort told the judge, quote, to say i am humiliated and shamed would be a gross understatement. paula reid is at the white house. paula, fair to say this was a surprising sentence. >> reporter: this was a shocking sentence. also a surprise because this is the first time we heard from manafort. but he did not express any remorse for what he had done. and the judge commented, he said i'm surprised not to hear you express more regret or apologize. but then the judge had a surprise of his own when he shocked this packed courtroom by sentencing manafort to just a fraction of what was recommended. >> he accepts responsibility for his conduct.
7:05 am
>> reporter: paul manafort said before his sentencing that he feels pain and shame, adding my life, professionally and financially is in shambles. after a short recess it was judge t.s. ellis' turn to speak. he called the charges undeniably serious and said manafort made choices to engage in criminal conduct. but then seemed to give the former campaign chairman the benefit of the doubt saying manafort lived an otherwise blameless live and engaged in lots of good things. he call the recommended sentence excessive and handed manafort a term of nearly four years. manafort agreed to cooperate with the mueller investigation last september, but the agreement fell apart, prosecutors say manafort lied repeatedly to the special counsel's office, the fbi and a grand jury. >> paul manafort worked for me for a very short period of time. >> reporter: the president sought to distance himself from his former campaign chairman.
7:06 am
but manafort was a public part of his campaign, even defending then candidate trump against charges of russian collusion on "cbs this morning." >> mr. trump has no relationships with any russian oligarchs. >> that's what he said. that's what i said. that's what our position is. >> reporter: while they stopped working together in august of 2016, manafort's strategy has always been to angle for a presidential pardon. >> one of the reasons i respect paul manafort so much is he went through that trial, you know, they make up stories, people make up stories, this whole thing about flipping, they call it. >> reporter: next week manafort will be sentenced here in washington in a separate case by a judge who has been much tougher on him. and that judge will need to decide whether or not he can serve both sentences at the same time. john? >> thank you. cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman is here with us. what do you think of the judge's decision?
7:07 am
>> i think it is stunning. i think that it is one thing to depart down from guidelines, the guidelines being 19 1/2 to 24 years. but it is another thing to basically throw the guidelines out the window, which is what happened here. >> shorter than what manafort's attorneys recommended. >> absolutely correct. i think so, they were pleasingly surprised, the prosecutors must have been close to devastated, having tried cases in my own life from both sides of this, you expect unfortunately in the system of justice in america that white collar defendants do get less time than people of color, even for the same crime. >> how do you explain it, rikki? it is so shocking. >> it is shocking because i think that you have a judge who was against this trial from the very begin ining he reprimanded prosecutors, he didn't like the idea of the special prosecutor,
7:08 am
he made a decision that as he once said, he's caesar in rome he was going to do it his way. >> manafort faces up to ten years in another separate case he'll be tried on in d.c. >> you're dealing with a different judge, and by the way, very different judges. this is a fraud case. in d.c., you're dealing with conspiracy against the united states and conspiracy to obstruct justice. five years each, a maximum of ten, the guidelines renewed at ten. real question for the judge is does she give him the full ten consecutive or concurrent? and this is a judge who had a lot of experience with paul manafort in d.c., dealing with the fact that she vitiated his plea of guilty. >> it was stunning that this judge characterized him as living an otherwise blameless life. >> that was a rather remarkable
7:09 am
comment. i think to say the least. one thing to look at his age, his health, the fact he did not have any prior record, it is another thing to see someone engage in a life of crime for at least ten years to call it unblemished. >> and defrauding the american taxpayers. >> indeed. >> thank you, rikki. the president's former lawyer michael cohen is suing mr. trump's company for nearly $4 million. cohen says the trump organization promised to pay his legal fees for the special counsel probe and investigations by congress. the lawsuit claims that money was cut off after cohen started cooperating with robert mueller. a spokesman told the new york times that the trump organization owes cohen nothing. and called the suit a desperate money grab by a desperate convicted felon. the house of representatives has overwhelmingly passed a resolution condemning all hate speech in response to a muslim congresswoman who criticized lobbyists for israel. at first, the measure only targeted anti-semitism after minnesota democrat ilhan omar suggested that some lawmakers
7:10 am
also have allegiance to israel. younger democrats pushed for language calling on, quote, all public officials to confront the reality of anti-semitism, islamophobia, racism and other forms of bigotry. 23 republicans voted no yesterday with many saying the house should condemn omar and nothing more. former vice president joe biden is expected to launch a presidential campaign in april. several people with knowledge of his plans tells cbs news he's in the final stages of putting together his campaign strategy and his campaign team. he's entering a crowded field. several standing at the edge of the pool. this will be the third time biden made a presidential run. if he were to win, he would be the oldest elected president in u.s. history. alleged victims are speaking out for the first time where the singer defended himself against charges of abusing underage girls. he's still in jail this morning

7:13 am
be careful. >> i'm telling you these are the allegations. >> you're not just telling me. you're saying this, gayle, you're breaking my heart, you're saying it like you believe it. >> kramer says there is a good reason to believe it. >> it is true. >> reporter: while kelly denied ever abusing women, kramer says her daughter told her several times she was beaten and starved for days. >> my daughter came home, she was 98 pounds. when she left to be with him, she was 125. i can't understand how somebody say they love you and then in the same breath spit in your [ bleep ] face. >> reporter: that's what you say r. kelly did to your daughter? >> yes. >> reporter: other women who accused r. kelly of abuse -- >> people betray me and i keep forgiving them. >> reporter: had a wide range of reactions to the interview. >> he started screaming, it terrified me. >> reporter: assanante mcgee sa she lived through mental and sexual abuse while she lived with him for three weeks. she said she turned off her
7:14 am
television. >> there was nothing i felt sorry for him for. he's a great performer. >> i expected him to call us liars. >> reporter: another former girlfriend of kelly's, kitty jones, saw things a little differently. she said she felt sad watching the man she claims beat her. >> i cried because i still saw the person that i fell in love with. and i couldn't help but wonder, like, why didn't someone step in and help him earlier, you know? >> reporter: michelle kramer says she cannot handle hearing all of what allegedly happened to her daughter, she said in fear of ending up in jail herself. kramer says her daughter has now been home for nine months and is currently getting counseling. >> yeah, i suspect everybody is going to need to see a therapist by the time this is all over. however it turns out. thank you, jericka.

♪ okay. good morning to our viewers in the west. it's friday, march 8, 2019 and welcome back to "cbs this morning." ahead, senator martha mcsally recalls her experience as a rape survivor in the military. why she says more needs to be done to help had the assault victims who serve in the armed services. model and activist halim aiden will be here to mark international women's day and, first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00. paul manafort it is going to prison amid criticism from people who say president trump's former campaign chairman got off easy. >> this was also a surprise
8:01 am
because this is the first time we've heard from manafort but he did not express remorse for what he's done. >> the judge characterized him living and other-wise blameless life. >> that was a rather remark habel comment to say the least. >> to see someone engaged in a life of crime for at least ten years to call it that. >> and defraud the the american taxpayers. >> indeed. >> this is the first conviction of a florida police officer involved in an on-duty shooting in three decades and it took the jury just four hours to return its verdict. all three women say when kelly stood up it brought back horrifying memories. >> i know he is a great performer. >> president trump's former campaign chairman was sentenced to 47 months in prison was a shock to prosecutors who suggested a sentence of 19 to 24 years. manafort's lawyers tried everything to get their client a reduced sentence except representing an innocent man. manafort even went on tv and
8:02 am
freaked out on gayle king. >> gayle's next interview. >> yeah, there's lots of memes going around. >> happy friday. good morning, everybody. international women's day today. i'm bianna golodryga with john dickerson, gayle king and norah o'donnell. we'll begin with paul manafort's 47-month prison sentence for bank and tax fraud which is being dismissed by critics who say he should have been given a longer term of imprisonment. the former trump campaign sentencing is significantly less than the 19 to 24 years prosecutors requested. it the also includes the nine months he already served. prosecutors allege manafort did not give investigators any useful information that wasn't already known. they said the reason manafort met with them for more than 50 hours was because he lied. >> judge t.s. ellis called the sentencing guidelines excessive and said manafort, quote, lived an otherwise blameless life.
8:03 am
manafort said he felt humiliated and asked for compassion but did not apologize for his crimes which were not campaign-related. the judge said he was surprised manafort had no regrets. manafort faces sentencing in a second case next week that. judge will decide if he can serve both sentences at the same time. the parents of one of r. kelly's live-in girlfriends are talking with us. they accuse kelly of abusing their 23-year-old daughter jocelyn. kelly denies all allegations. kelly says the savages are looking for money which they deny. there's never been any financial transaction between you and r. kelly. >> let me make sure i'm clear. i've never received any funds from r. kelly. >> have you asked for funds? >> i've never asked for any monies from r. kelly. the only thing i've asked from r. kelly is one thing, to see my daughter and make sure she's healthy and fine. >> i'm going to do everything in
8:04 am
my power to give her evaluated and to proper therapy that she would need to be able to rehabilitated from this because i know my daughter. >> do you know your daughter? >> i knew her three plus years ago, but the jocelyn now that i see is not my daughter. >> the savages say they hope kell woe help joyce win build a singing career. she denies any interest of that, but her parents say go online. she loves to sing. despite years of sexual misconduct, the allegations against kelly, the savages say they felt working with him because he was acquitted of child pornography charges back in 2008. they say they quote, separated the artist from the man and did not realize then what they now know and think about this for a sec. i asked tim savage how old he is. he's 45 and r. kelly is 52 so she is dating someone older than her father. needless to say that's very troubling to them as well. hear more with our interviews

from azriel clary and joys lynn savage in a primetime special. it starts tonight at 8:00, 7:00 central right here on cbs. only on "cbs this morning," senator martha mcsally is opening up about her painful past and decision to reveal that she was raped by a superior officer in the air force. the military branch apologized to the 26-year veteran after she spoke out during a military sexual assault hearing on capitol hill this week. we spoke to senator mcsally about why she's breaking her silence now and her fight for change. >> like you, i am also a military sexual assault survivor. >> senator martha mcsally soared as america's first female fighter pilot to fly in combat she says a superior officer r raped her. >> honestly i didn't even think about reporting it. that's kind of the environment we were in at the time. >> reporter: really? >> yeah. >> reporter: why? >> there's a lot of denial. a lot of confusion. you kind of, you know, just suck
8:06 am
it up. it wasn't ever communicated necessarily. >> reporter: you felt like you just had to suck it up? >> i felt like i didn't have any options at the time. >> reporter: you not, too, that you stayed silent for so long, but there was a point in your military career when you did tell others in the military, and what was their reaction? >> let me just say that i love our air force. i am proud to have served in the military. i am proud to have been given the opportunity to break through glass ceilings for women. >> reporter: but mcsally says she was disgusted by how the air force handled her case. >> it was really junior varsity. >> reporter: you said it was worse than that. >> yeah snow said you felt like the system was raping me all over again. >> interrogating me about what happened to you. tell us what happened to you, and i -- and i was mortified. if that's the way you are treating being alerted that somebody has been through
8:07 am
something like this who actually is trying to have our military succeed at dealing with it and you bring me in and interrogate me as if i'm the perpetrator even in the tone and the approach and just the ignorance, they failed on the job big time. i got up and left and i dropped a bunch of swear words just to be frank >> you say you almost left the military. >> i did. i did. i really felt like the system victimized me again. >> reporter: reports of sexual assaults are up by 50% at u.s. service academies, and nearly 10% in the military overall. a sign mcsally says that more victims may feel comfortable coming forward. do you regret not reporting the assault? >> i always like to look forward and not back. it's very difficult to put myself back into the shoes of where i was at the time. >> reporter: so what about a young woman in the air force who may want to make a report? can you say to her right now do
8:08 am
it? >> each person has to make their own decision as best -- >> reporter: but you're a sitting united states senator. >> i'm not going to compel anybody. >> reporter: i know. >> and you're on the armed services committee and you're a former fighter pilot, to not be able to say, yes, we will protect you. >> of course i would want them to report it. of course i would want the opportunity for immediately there to be an investigation that they can then quickly find justice for that victim, of course that's what i want. i'm just saying i'm not going to tell a victim what to do. >> reporter: just to clarify. can you say you have confidence in the system right now? >> look, we have a lot of work to do, we do. we have to stop the next assault from happening right now. >> reporter: mcsally wanted to be a doctor but set her eyes on the sky when she was told the air force wouldn't allow female fighter pilots. >> and it just pissed me off and i said that's exactly what i'm going to do, and i walked around and said i'm going to be the first woman fighter pilot. i knew nothing about flying, but i was mostly driven because they told me that i couldn't. >> reporter: nothing, not even sexual assault, was going to
8:09 am
stop you from doing that? >> no way. >> reporter: where did that strength come from to say that? >> the grace of god. i really believe that. i think of a scripture in the old testament talks about joseph. he finally at one point said what others intended for evil, god used for good, and i feel like in my own life some of the worst experiences i've been through like sexual assault have actually propelled me on a positive path that i can fight for others, and that's what my life has been. >> you know, she said after all these experiences she felt more driven to find a place in her life, running and doing triathlons helped her do that and we talked to her office, too. she's received an outpouring of support. phone calls, other people calling to report similar experiences. >> boy, it's so refreshing to see a direct and frank conversation with a member of the senate. not everybody --
8:10 am
>> exactly. >> that's why you need women in the military and in the senate to tell these stories and speak eri honestly. >> did you ask her if the perpetrator is still will? i'm very curious about that. >> did i ask her that, and she said -- she didn't answer the question. she said that's not where my heart is. i'm not looking for scalps. she also said at one point in the interview that i didn't have just one occurrence to be clear, so i want to be respectful of her privacy and of her telling that story. >> yes. >> and that's the difficulty. i think she embodies the difficulty that all women have and the military is a microcosm of society. the fear that comes with reporting it and the retaliation that you face. >> all i'm going to say is senator mcsally put her in the bad ass club. an amazing interview and what she had to say. >> you can sense the anger that she had. she said she felt like she was interrogated. >> and let's just say we'll continue to talk about it. there's a debate in congress about how to fix the system, and there are a lot of differing views about how to fix that

as you can e, as you can as you can see, i'm not afraid to be the first, to step out on my own, to take risks and seek change because that's what being a minority is about. it's about using yourself as a vessel to create change and being a human representation for the power of diversity, and now i use my platform to spread an important message of acceptance. >> yes, she does. somali-american model and activist halima aden gave a talk last year in the kenyan refugee camp where she was born. the sobiech by the united nations children's fund ambassador has been viewed more than 1 million times online. aden made history back in 2016 when she work a burkini and a hijab during the miss usa

8:44 am
we need to do better. >> you say we can send advocacy letters to congress to get some attention. today's call. unicef is encouraging everybody to text girl to 52886 to encourage legislators to put the rights of young girls and women at the forefront of their law making decisions. >> it's been said if you educate a girl, you educate a nation. >> yeah. >> what does this new unicef international women's day campaign all about that, changing the world, right? >> yes, yes. i'm a girl so it's like we need to celebrate our girls, you know. it's not just about women uplifting other women but really this is a day for men, boys, everybody, because we all have a woman in our life, an aunt, a mother, a sister, a cousin, so today's really for everybody to uplift the women in their lives, the women across an ocean. it's about just really celebrating girls. >> norah is right. we hear often if you educate a girl you change a nation but give us some specifics on the difference it makes when a woman is educated and what she does
8:45 am
for her community. >> well, for me unicef is really personal. like i was a child refugee. i spent the first seven years in kakuma, kenya, and i remember the work that unicef did for me and my childhood. it's a reminder that the world -- the greater world did not forgot about you, even in a place that's named middle of nowhere in swahili. kakuma means middle of nowhere in swahili, but it just reminded me but as a young girl, like the world did not forgot about me. i matter. i have a voice and tomorrow i could be this great woman. i could be, you know, so i think if -- >> i hear you. >> explain to people the point you were making about water and having to walk to get water and what that means for young women. >> well, i mean today, like i -- ironically i have water right in front of me, and we take it for granted in america because we've privileged, have water fountains, access to clean water and you have no idea like how
8:46 am
much women and girls, like they are kept out of school collecting water and that puts them at risk, and it's like little necessities like that. >> we take it for granted. >> when you were here last year you were the first and only model wearing an hijab. how much has changed, and has anything changed? >> the industry has changed so much. there's eight hijab-wearing models and in two years time, not even, so it shows meet industry was probably like why haven't we done this ten yearsing. >> reporter: >> what took so long. >> halima aden, such a pleasure. thank you so much for all that you do. >> thank you. next, we'll take a look at all that mattered this week. it was a lot. you're watching "cbs this morning." >> it's friday.
