[ laughter ] more to come for sure on that. >> no doubt. >> the disconnects do continue. attorney general william barr is not testifying right now before the house judiciary committee as he was scheduled to. heating up and already tense dispute with congressional democrats. justice department says committee chairman jerry nadler's plan to let staff lawyers question barr is inappropriate. here's the big news, the committee could vote soon to hold barr in contempt of congress for refusing demands to hand over the unedited mueller report spending five hours answering questions.

nancy cordes covered it all on capitol hill outside the committee hearing room. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, even though the attorney general did not show up for today's hearing, the committee was called to order anyway and the committee's chair, jerry nadler, said if they can't negotiate to get the attorney general back here soon, then the committee may hold him in contempt of congress. >> the attorney general has the nerve to try to dictate and the administration has the nerve to dictate our procedures. >> reporter: jerry nadler said barr had balked at the committee's plans to have both lawmakers and expert staffers question him about the mueller report. a setup republicans called unreasonable. >> bill barr was not coming to the circus that was presented to us today. >> reporter: in a senate hearing wednesday, democrats grilled barr about the letter he received from special counsel robert mueller. complaining that barr did not fully capture the substance of mueller's report. >> the letter is a bit snitty

and i think it was probably written by one of his staff people. >> reporter: senators pushed barr to explain his decision not to charge the president with obstruction of justice. >> you did not question or look at the underlying evidence that . >> no. >> the report found that the president's personal counsel told paul manafort that he would be, quote, taken care of. that you don't consider obstruction of justice. >> discouraging flipping in that sense is not obstruction. >> a president essentially tries to change the lawyer's account in order to prevent further criticism of himself. >> well, that's not a crime. >> reporter: democrats also questioned the attorney general about his conversations with the white house. >> has the president or anyone at the white house ever asked or suggested that you open an investigation of anyone, yes or no, please, sir? >> the president or anybody else --

>> seems you'd remember something like that to be able to fell us. >> yeah, but i'm trying to grapple with the word suggest. i don't know. i wouldn't say suggest. >> hinted. >> i don't know. >> inferred? you don't know? okay. >> reporter: after that exchange california's kamala harris joined a growing group of democrats calling on barr to resign. while president trump had nothing but praise for his new attorney general. >> it's so ridiculous. he is an outstanding man. he's an outstanding legal mind. >> reporter: republicans defended him too. >> enough already. it's over. >> reporter: but house democrats say they're just getting started and that the real person they want to hear from now is special counsel robert mueller. they have extended an invitation for him to appear before this committee in would weeks on may 15th but so far no response. >> lots to come, nancy, thank you. cbs news legal analyst ricky

kleman is with us and s it. >> all right. so much to get through. let's tick through this quickly. nobody better than you. first congress, what if they hole the attorney general in contempt of congress, what would that look like? >> well, what has to happen in order to hold anyone in contempt of congress is you subpoena that person and the person refuses then at that point you have to have a vote in congress in order to hold them in contempt. then at that point if it is still refused how do you enforce it? so you can have a fine, of course, but you would have to go to court in order to get an order to literally arrest someone and bring them in. we're really in uncharted territory. >> let's get to the hearing. critics say the attorney general of the united states looked more like the president's defense lawyer than the attorney general and chief law enforcement official. is he supposed to be more independent. >> he is supposed to be totally independent and impartial. you have to remember that the department of justice although it is part of the executive branch, it is supposed to be the

arbiter of fairness. what we heard a great deal of not only yesterday but in his st befores worke itten as an apologist for the president about the president's frustration and his feeling about an inability to govern as a result of being quote/unquote falsely accused. what william barr wines up say during the course of testimony is that any president, not just this president, if he or she believes they are being falsely accused, they have the right to get rid of that accuser. that is a very dangerous precedent indeed. >> did barr's testimony yesterday really make the case more than ever that we need to hear from robert mueller? >> there is no doubt that if we didn't think we needed to hear from robert mueller before yesterday, by the end of yesterday we certainly know we do. and it is for good reason. william barr is abundantly clear which i think is very disturbing that he and rod rosenstein came to a conclusion about approximately ten episodes of

obstruction of justi obstruction of justice or potential obstruction of justice using a standard in a criminal case of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. he says in his testimony that he doesn't know why robert mueller came to a conclusion which i call it a conclusion of equal poise. there is evidence of obstruction yet there isn't evidence of obstruction enough to convict in a criminal case. who has the primary evidence? robert mueller. >> but, he left it in barr's lap so barr having had it left in his lap made the call. >> well, certainly could be said that robert mueller intended perhaps to leave it in congress' lap. don't you think that congress has the right to ask that question? >> well, it asked it of itself. the special counsel handed it all off. why does he have to? >> because we don't know and congress doesn't know when he looked at approximately ten episodes with sub-episodes beneath them don mcgahn, his

legal counsel for the president being the most egregious that we can lay our hands on and find out why he came to that conclusion. >> quickly, senator klobuchar in her testimony tried to make the case that what she learned in law school was that you look at the totality of the evidence and a pattern here. doesn't it matter what those ten instances of potential obstruction of justice were? >> i thought amy klobuchar gets an "a" plus. she had a goal in her questions and got to it and talked about lingering, those pardon, putting them out there and acts of obstruction and why doesn't the foetality bring us to a different conclusion? >> really interesting. >> the more we hear, the more questions we have. >> yes. >> still not getting all the answers. thank you so much, ricki kleman. more storms raking the middle of the country. nearly 12 million in at least eight states are under a severe weather threat and heavy rain could trigger flash flooding from the plains to the upper

conditions. at least a hundred homes were submerged just outside detroit. fire crews went house to house to rescue people stranded. in oklahoma, the storm brought as much as eight inches of pounding rain, winds and hail leading to more misery for those who lost everything when tornadoes ravaged the state earlier this week. >> the house is destroyed, but i've never been so devastated in my life. >> reporter: in addition to tornadoes across the region, severe weather has been unrelenting for months. in march, floods slammed communities in nebraska and missouri and powerful spring blizzards spanned from colorado to minnesota. this has been the wettest month in davenport since july of 1993 and we are just less than two inches away of breaking a record when it comes to water levels. >> thank you, jericka, for being out there in the rain for us. amazing pictures. we're learning now more about the heroic student who

we have here were then able to apprehend him. >> reporter: students were in anthropology class when police say trystan andrew terrell burst through the door with a legal by purchased pistol and began shooting. howell and ellis reid parlier were killed. four others wounded. >> we'll be committed to a fact-finding mission that takes time. we're going to seek justice. >> reporter: school officials say terrell had drawn from classes and said he had gone to a heating range to practice. was influenced by the sandy hook shooting and was carrying ten magazines of ammunition. >> i'll miss that kid. >> reporter: kevin westmoreland is the father of riley's long-term girlfriend. >> he's the one that runs towards it instead of running away. ♪ >> reporter: the university community is determined to focus on the victims and moving forward. thousands of students packed into a campus arena for a vigil

wednesday night. >> i would tell you he stood out. >> reporter: lieutenant colonel shanka smith runs the rotc program in which howell participated and is not surprised he gave his life for others. do you feel a sense of pride. >> absolutely. as a soldier, you know, we understand what it means to make the ultimate sacrifice. >> reporter: in a statement, riley howell's parents said he radiated love and always will. people who knew the other victim, ellis "reid" parlier say he was empathetic and caring. as for the suspect he's scheduled to make an appearance in court right here later this morning. norah. >> tough to listen to that story, chip, thank you. cbs news confirms the mentf willring unprecedented dna testing at the border with mexico as soon as next week. now, the department says the program will target human traffickers who are smuggling and exploiting children. it also hopes to slow illegal crossings that have overwhelmed

border agents. mireya villarreal is at the border. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. dhs officials say that since october they have seen more than a thousand fake families try to cross the border illegally and that's why they're launching this program. simply put this is where an adult is paired with a child who they are trying to pass off as their own. now, this proposed rapid dna test would involve a cheek swab. then in about two hours results would show whether or not the adult was actually related to the child. a private contractor who will conduct the pilot program will do so in two locations as of right now. now, a record number of families mostly from central america have been crossing the southern border this year. i recently spoke with agents who say this is a very frustrating and sad part of their job. most of the families that come through here with children are genuinely looking for a better life, but they have seen cases where children are being used as pawns because smugglers are

telling them it's easier to cross as a family. they actually referenced a case here where one little boy was apprehended several times, each time he was crossing over with a different man who was claiming to be his family. now, the aclu is weighing in on this and say dna testing will intimidate and deter asylum seekers and while the dhs says the samples and all the data will be destroyed after tests are run, the aclu warns the fact that it is even building out this surveillance infrastructure should trouble us all. and just a side note about this technology, it is very similar technology to what is used in california after wildfires by law enforcement to try and connect families with potential victims. >> posing some interesting questions there, thank you. secretary of state mike pompeo says all options including u.s. military action are on the table if venezuelan president nicolas maduro does not step down. maduro came out with a show of

>> they said if they can't get the attorney general back here soon, somebody may hold him in contempt of congress. >> did barr's testimony really make the case that we need to hear from robert mueller? >> if we didn't think we needed to hear from robert mueller before yesterday, by the end of yesterday we know we do. >> the water levels continue to rise and it could be up to a month before all of this water has receded. >> they still don't know the motive behind this deadly rampage. they do know that if it hadn't been for riley howell, it could have been much worse. >> he took the fight to the assailant. >> the officials have seen more than a thousand families try to cross the border illegally. that's why they're launching this program. >> facebook made a big announcement, they're rolling out a new dating feature in the united states called secret crush. if you have a secret crush, put it in, it will match you up and you'll both get a notification that you like each other. in other words, facebook just invented middle school. >> going to turn out the crush was your grandmother because she

doesn't understand how facebook works. you're my secret crush because you're so handsome and sweet. >> i think it is good to have a good crush on your -- in the right circumstances. i'm gayle king wit dickerson. norah o'donnell is back today. the house judiciary committee met this morning to discuss the mueller report. but attorney general william barr did not testify as planned. the justice department says chairman jerry nadler's condition for the hearings were unprecedented and unnecessary. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the next stage in the standoff between barr and the congressional democrats. nancy, it is getting very dicey. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. so the disputes today centered around who was going to be allowed to question the attorney general, this democratically led committee had decided that he would be grilled not just by

lawmakers, but by staff lawyers as well. and attorney general barr clearly felt that was go. the committee was called to order anyway. the committee share jerry nadler, the top republican made opening comments before nadler abruptly ended the hearing. nadler said he's continuing to seek the full unredacted mueller report for a few more days. if he doesn't get it, he may move to hold the attorney general in contempt of congress. barr did testify for more than five hours yesterday to the republican-led senate judiciary committee. there democrats criticized the decision not to charge the president with obstruction of justice. republicans came to his defense. a growing number of democrats including presidential candidates have called on barr to resign. two of those candidates kamala

harris and coor cory booker we among the committee members grilling him yesterday. as for this house judiciary committee, democrats say they're just getting started. they call on robert mueller himself to testify on may 15th. no word from him yet about whether he'll do so. >> nancy, thank you very much. stormy weather could last all week in the midwest. and southern plains where many areas are struggling with all that water. parts of texas and the midsouth may see hail, damaging winds and tornadoes today. more flash flooding could hit illinois, indiana and michigan. some of the worst flooding is in davenport, the third largest city in iowa where water broke through a temporary levee earlier this week. mississippi river there is just inches below its all time record crest. officials say the flood threat in davenport will last at least a month. there is a growing backlash over a landmark ruling over olympic gold medalist caster

semenya, the highest court ruled yesterday that semenya must take medication to reduce her unusually high testosterone level if she wants to compete. the court called this decision on the sound african runner acceptable discrimination. debora patta is in johannsburg and shows us the growing support for semenya. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. south africans are rallying behind caster semenya with many saying she's being punished for being too fast and not conforming to western standards of what a female athlete should look like.ar caster semenya has been trying to outrun the global controversy that threatened to cut her career short. the two-time olympic champion has repeatedly been forced to verify her gender and battle cl. the ruling bans women athletes like semenya with testosterone levels above the average female

range from running distances up to a mile unless they take potentially harmful medications to reduce that testosterone. law professor steve cornelius says this is immoral, so immoral he resigned last year from the iwf in protest. >> you're actually taking and turning that turning that person into a patient. >> reporter: this doctor says testosterone is not the only factor affecting sporting performance. >> i would say that, you know, having a higher testosterone would be a similar advantage to having a long arm span or long torso in swimmers. >> reporter: preposterous and aggressive is how three-time winter olympian ahe elena meyers said. >> what about michael phelps, he had longer arms or better lung capacity or he's got feet like flippers, does that mean we shouldn't allow him to compete? >> reporter: sporting heavy

hitters like billie jean king and martina navratilova weighed in condemning the ruling as unfair. but there are others such as british olympic swimmer sharon davies who has been vocal in criticism of semenya. >> i think it is important that -- realize we need to start protecting female sports. it has to be a level. >> reporter: her response has been brief and dignified. for a decade, the iaaf tried to slow me down, but this has actually made me stronger, she said. there is no doubt semenya has a rare genetic ability, one she once celebrated, not penalized. and on that issue, the world medical association has joined the debate urginging doctors around the world not to impolicemen ti implement the iaaf. promising new research might help doctors prevent suicides.

process that if we continue to go down the path we're going, and this isn't just about president trump, it is about the politics that existed before he got there, he certainly made matters worse. if we keep going down this road, we're going to be first generation oty re t the neus need to do everything i can do toma to make sure we don't do that. >> you recently got a prostate cancer diagnosifeinconsiderably because i got a diagnosis and five years later after an operation i was cleared with a -- a clean bill of health. that gave me a chance to think about whether i really wanted to run or not. in the context of getting the diagnosis, my reaction was disappointment at the idea i couldn't run. it would have been a great excuse to say this is just some

adolescent fantasy and i shouldn't run. the other reaction i had was to think about what it with feel like to get a diagnosis like that and to not have insurance. and to know this president has worked so hard since he's been president to take insurance away from people in america. m get a question before we go back to policy. there are 20 some odd candidates, we don't -- we can't fix on a proper number. you're not the only person from as well, for whom you used to work. in the business of politics, how do you distinguish yourself from all of the other candidates? >> i called my mom and said to her, somebody has to be 22 and that's why i'm running and turns out i'm not, i'm 21. so i already made a little bit of progress. i think i have a tendency to tell the truth to the people i represent in colorado. i want a chance to do that with

the american people. s s second, i have won tough races. third, i got a track record of bipartisan work that has been harder to do during the trump administration but still over the ten years that i've been in this senate. and then before that, a track record in business turning around failing businesses and working for five years for the children in the denver public schools as their superintendent. i don't think anybody has a broad a set of experiences in the field, i think that will distinguish me. >> you want to focus on health care. you talk about bipartisanship in washington. a lot of people thinks that bipartisanship doesn't exist in washington anymore. >> i think that's more naive than believing in some dream that doesn't exist. it is naive when you're considering whether you will deliver for the next generation of america. there is no bipartisanship in

washington today to speak of. that is true. and we have been tear nuysed for the last ten years by the freedom caucus. these people won't cooperate, won't compromise, believe they have a monopoly on wisdom and a cartoon version of what the founding fathers were trying to do. they need to be beaten or they need to be closed over. but i come from -- i come from a state that is the third democ t democratic, the people i work with are not like the freedom caucus. they're americans who are trying to drive opportunity for their families and for the next generation. and they need a politics that recognizes that they have disagreements among themselves, but they have a shared desire to move the country forward. we have drained our politics of that in washington. our politics in washington lack all imagination and i think going down the rat hole with the people that are dragging us down the rat hole just as a self-fulfilling prophecy of failing as a republic. that's what i really believe. that's what i think is at stake.

>> given the number of democrats that are running for president, is that a sign of a healthy party or a party that doesn't know -- >> i think it is both. i think the democrat -- i think right now the democratic party doesn't stand for very much at the national level, with repicture to whrespect to what the american people think this is an opportunity for us to show what we stand for to have a competition of ideas. i think it is phenomenal we have as diverse an array of candidates as we have. in all respects. and we have the number we have. a process like this is long overdue in the democratic party. >> what is the other big policy idea there should be a competition about. >> to me, it is economic mobity. how do we restore an economy where -- >> the president with say the economy is doing great. >> he would say that. let me say a couple of things about that. if you look at a chart of the jobs created since '09, at the depths of the recession when barack obama took over, until today, the chart goes like this

every single year. it has gone like this. president trump has been president since here. i'll give him credit for not screwing up what was already happening before he got there. but from the vantage point of people in our country, who can't afford housing, can't afford health care, can't afford early childhood education, higher education, can't afford a middle class life, they need us to restore economic mobility in this country. and that is what we should be focused on in this campaign. >> all right, we're going to have to leave it there. thank you for being with us. he's running. some moviegoers may have put their health at risk to see "avengers: endgame." where people may have been exposed to measles. you're watching "cbs this morning." exposed to measl measles. you're watching "cbs this morning. ahead, where some may have watched the mooeshs with measles. wednesday through sunday... at kohl's.
