this was happening, but they didn't have the evidence. and now we have a federal investigation indicating that this was happening. >> reporter: keep this in mind: of the top 30 universities producing the most c.e.o.s of fortune 500 companies, number one wasn't an ivy. it was the university of wisconsin, with 14. >> glor: how about that? interesting point, jim. thanks very much. paul manafort, the president's former campaign chairman, took a double hit today. a federal judge in washington added 3.5 years to his prison term stemming from robert mueller's special counsel investigation. and new criminal charges were filed against him in new york. here's paula reid. >> reporter: paul manafort's wife, kathleen, showed no emotion as she walked out of court today, following a judge's

ruling that her husband must serve 7.5 years in federal prison. >> good afternoon, everyone. >> reporter: defense attorney kevin downing blasted the sentence, before being drowned out by protesters. >> very sad day. for such a callous, harsh sentence, that is totally unnecessary. much like this. >> reporter: but in a surprise twist, just a half hour later, manhattan district attorney cyrus vance announced new york state charges against manafort for mortgage fraud, conspiracy, and falsifying business records. manafort has been banking on a pardon from president trump, who today was noncommittal. >> it's not something that's right now on my mind. i do feel badly for paul manafort-- that i can tell you. >> reporter: but even if mr. trump grants a pardon for the federal crimes, his powers don't extend to state crimes. former federal prosecutor scott fredericksen: >> it certainly appears to be an

attempt by the manhattan d.a., cy vance, to make sure that mr. manafort is prosecuted and perhaps serves prison time, even if he is pardoned. >> reporter: the 69-year-old former trump campaign chairman was one of robert mueller's first targets, and is heading to jail for a range of federal crimes, including bank fraud, witness tampering, and conspiracy against the united states. in court today, manafort appeared in a wheelchair wearing a dark suit and holding a cane. "i am sorry for what i have done," he told judge amy berman jackson. he asked her not to separate him from his wife and family. but judge jackson was not moved, saying manafort was "not a victim," and that "it is hard to overstate the number of lies and the amount of fraud involved in his crimes." new york prosecutors have to be careful, jeff, that the crimes they are pursuing aren't too similar to the charges manafort has already faced. that's prohibited under a standard known as double jeopardy. but new york prosecutors say they're confident in their case. >> glor: paula, thank you very much.

cases in 12 states. the rockland county outbreak was centered in an orthodox jewish community. almost all states allow exemptions for religious beliefs, and 17 states allow a parent to opt out for philosophical or personal reasons. one of those states is oklahoma. >> a lot of the legislators think that mandating vaccinations is big government. >> reporter: former oklahoma state legislator dr. ervin yen attempted to ban or restrict the non-medical exemption law in his state. >> in oklahoma, i think it's going to take an outbreak of something like measles, where somebody dies, unfortunately. >> reporter: before 1963, when the measles vaccine was introduced, there were more than 500,000 cases each year, causing hundreds of deaths. after 1963, those numbers dropped dramatically. >> they don't know that measles can cause encephalitis, which, of course, is inflammation of your brain. i don't know about you, but i

don't want my brain inflamed. >> reporter: last week, new york state senator krueger introduced a bill allowing any child 14 years or older to be vaccinated without parental consent. other states including oregon and south carolina already have similar laws, jeff. >> glor: jon, those numbers you had there, pretty dramatic. all right, thank you very much. his d up here tonight, r. kelly support payments-- what the judge had to say. so how are you enjoying your it's just lovely.ament? i'm here to let all these folks know how easy it is to save money on their car insurance with geico- oi oi oi set the pick! kick it outside!! shoot the three! shoot the three!! yessssssss!!!!!! are you...ok? no, no i'm not. i think i pulled a hammy. could we get some ice? just one cube of ice? geico®. proud partner of ncaa march madness®.

humble thing. and if you people's perspectives very well. >> he listens to a lot of people's perspectives in this board room. you've had four interest rate increases in your tenure. i wonder were any of those unanimous? >> all ofthem were. that's not to say we don't have a vigorous discussion. >> reporter: the fed wants to maintain 2%, about where it is now. powell said he's flexible to a point. if it rises over 2% for a limited period of time, that n'tn going tomp on the brakes? >> anymore than we over reacted to inflation modestly below 2%.
