furious that secret service agents were keeping some of his supporters outside of the white house ellipse because they had weapons. the other big news we learned today is rudy giuliani and the president's chief of staff sought pardons. that means we now know of at least nine individuals who sought pardons from president trump in the final days of his term. let's get straight to cbs' scott macfarlane at the capital with all the details. good evening, scott. >> hey, norah. the house committee and this 26-year-old former aide to the white house chief of staff painted a powerful picture, beginning with the trump white house ignoring warnings of looming violence at the capitol and ending with the chief of staff seeking that presidential pardon. when the day began, cassidy hutchinson was a name and face unknown to most americans. by the end of the day, she'd made history, including her description of an altercation in the presidential limo when his chief secret service agent bobby engel refused to bring then president donald trump to the

u.s. capitol, to which he just directed the crowd on january 6th. >> the president says something to the effect of i'm the f'ing president. take me up to the capitol now. to which bobby responded, "sir, we have to go back to the west wing." the president reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel. mr. engel grabbed his arm, said "sir, you need to take your hand off the steering wheel. we're going back to the west wing. we're not going to the capitol." mr. trump then used his free hand to lunge towards bobby engel. >> reporter: in the early hours of that day, hutchinson says trump was warned of people carrying weapons, including guns, descending on key landmarks in d.c., but that trump sought to have the metal detectors removed, concerned they'd reduce the size of his white house ellipse crowd. >> take the f'ing mags away. they're not here to hurt me. let them in.

let my people in. they can march to the capitol after. the rally is over. >> president trump was aware a number of people in the crowd had weapons and were wearing body armor. and here is what president trump instructed the crowd to do. >> we're going walk down, and i'll be there with you. we're going walk down to the capitol. >> reporter: as rioters began their attack, the president wouldn't budge. hutchinson said she asked her boss, trump chief of staff mark meadows to intervene. >> the rioters are getting really close. have you talked to the president? he said "no, he wants to be alone right now." she testified meadows, white house counsel pat cipollone and trump all knew of the chants of "hang mike pence" echoing through the mob. >> i remember pat saying something to the effect of mark, we need the do something more. they're literally calling for the vice president to be f'ing hung. and mark responded something to the effect of you heard it, pat. he thinks mike deserves it. he doesn't think they're doing anything wrong.

>> rioters chanted "hang mike pence." the president of the united states, donald trump said that, quote, mike deserves it. >> reporter: the committee cited norah's interview with the house republican leader who urged the president to intervene. >> as norah o'donnell noted during an interview with white house republican leader kevin mccarthy -- >> leader mccarthy, the president of the united states has a briefing room steps from the oval office. why hasn't he walked down and said that? >> reporter: hutchinson described her disappointment with the president's 2:24 p.m. tweet. as attackers poured on to the grounds, he wrote, quote, mike pence lacked courage. >> as an american, i was disgusted. it was unpatriotic. it was un-american. we were watching the capitol building get defaced over a lie. >> in the final moments of the hearing, hutchinson said both mark meadows and rudy giuliani sought pardons.

trump responded to the hearing saying hutchinson's story was a fake story and that he hardly knew her. norah? >> scott macfarlane, thank you. let's turn to our esteemed political team who were all here watching this unfold with me. john dickerson, there was a lot that made today different. >> there was. we've seen the outside picture on january 6th. what this today was the inside intimate portrait, the closest look we've gotten to president trump on that day and his inner circle. and we were given that view by someone who had a unique perch. hutchinson worked for the chief of staff. that is like being in the air traffic control tower of the white house. she witnessed the frantic lawyers running through the hall, the pleas from members of congress, and her boss, who wilted in the face of a president who was encouraging violence, ignoring the warnings, and even lunging at his secret service agent, would stop at nothing until the violence started, and then did nothing for so long. >> stunning, really.

jeff pegues, that was part of it. president trump knew there would be violence. what about other law enforcement? >> yeah, that's a good point. early on january 6th the white house we found out today was getting warnings about the potential for violence. in fact, there were reports that there were some people there in the crowd armed with ar-15s or handguns, even spears, and yet the inclination was hey, let's not beef up security. let's lessen the security there because president trump wanted his supporters there. and as you know, i with us in the crowd that day at the capitol. it was clear to me and others at the scene that police were outnumbered. it took hours for the national guard to show up. so this testimony today, norah, raised serious questions about security that day. >> jeff pegues, thank you. robert costa, what happens now? >> we're at historic crossroads. all eyes turn to attorney general merrick garland. does he look and evaluate this new evidence and believe that it rises to the threshold of indicting a former president of the united states, a weighty decision for the former judge.

it carries enormous political and legal implications. it's also a decision point for the republican party. you spoke to house republican leader kevin mccarthy on the day of the capitol attack. what will they do now after digesting this new information, this testimony? will they still embrace the former president? and remember, he is eyeing a return, a comeback, a 2024 presidential run. >> robert, jeff, john, thank you so much. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

♪ >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm jeff pegues in washington. thanks for staying with us. former secretary of state hillary clinton says the supreme court ruling that overturned roe v. wade should be a wake-up call for all americans. she spoke with cbs morning's co-host gayle king in her first on-camera interview since the court's decision. she was in our studio to discuss her new novel "state of terror." it is copublished by simon & schuster, a division of our corporate owner paramount

global. clinton told us that she believes it is a risky time for american democracy. >> last week, the roe v. wade decision was made. and even though we had gotten a heads-up, many people thought it was unthinkable. a lot of people are still processing depending on your point of view. what did you think when you heard it? >> well, i was not surprised because i think that was the goal of packing the court with justices who were on the record for many years of being against women's constitutional rights to make decisions about our own bodies. i was deeply sorry that it actually happened, but now that it has happened, i think everybody understands that this is not necessarily the only effort that we're going to see this course undertake to turn back the clock on civil rights and gay rights and women's

rights beyond abortion. this is going to i hope wake up a lot of americans. i don't care what political party or religion you are, the question is who decides. is the government to be in your bedroom? is the government going to be making these decisions? we're only at the beginning of this terrible travesty that this court has inflicted on us. >> and what do you say to supporters who say listen, we are protecting the rights of unborn children, they have rights too? what do you say to that? that seems to be the court argument. >> i say that is predominantly a belief rooted in religion, which i respect. and that's why in a pluralistic democracy like ours, the court in roe v. wade said the government is not going to make this decision. if it is your personal belief based on whatever that there is

no legitimate basis for abortion, even if you're in the hospital and you're bleeding out, even if you're told that you have cancer and chemotherapy is necessary and therefore an abortion is necessary, no matter what, you get to make that decision. i might not agree with it, but you get to make that decision. but you and those who support your particular point of view cannot dictate that decision to every other woman. and, you know, for many years, the abortion rate was going down. we were seeing i think greater responsibility, especially with the use of contraception. so why is it -- what is their ultimate goal here if they begin to chip away at all of these rights? it truly is to erase the progress that women have made from the last 150 years. >> you know, a couple the senators have said they were misled by the justices. does this -- does this say to you that we need to change the confirmation hearing process?

>> well, i think they were misled in part because they wanted to be misled. they had -- >> you think they knew this was going down? >> they either knew or they were blind to what the history of the people before them. anyone who is surprised by this is not paying attention. so these people were selected for this purpose. and it was a 50-year campaign. and you've got give the other side lots of points for their relentlessness, their total commitment to getting what they want done regardless of who's hurt by it and regardless who's stripped of rights. >> is this a time for the democrats to take on the filibuster do you think? >> well, i have been saying for quite some time i think the filibuster should be eliminated at the very least for constitutional questions like voting rights, like a woman's constitutional rights to make

decisions about her own body. so if you can't lift it completely, lift it for those two things that have huge consequences for our country. >> and last question. you're a former first lady, former secretary of state, former senator. do you miss the day to day of politics? is there any scenario in your brain that you would think i want to get back in? >> no. but i miss it. i miss it. >> there is no scenario in 2024 that you would even remotely consider? >> you know, i can't imagine it. i really can't. but -- >> that's not a no. >> well, what i can imagine is staying as active and outspoken as i can. i think our country is really on the precipice, gayle. i think that we are looking at not only the erosion of these rights, the throwing the door open to unfettered, unregulated gun access, but we're also looking at dismantling the

federal government how it protects our air and our water and everything else that goes with it. >> do you think our democracy is at stake? >> i do. >> we're looking at the january 6th hearing. >> i do. >> you think democracy is at stake as we sit here today? >> i do. >> what do you think when people say these hearings are a waste of time? >> i think these hearing have been incredibly powerful. i understand a lot of people pay no attention, but history pays attention. i hope the justice department is paying attention. i hope in these midterm elections candidates and democratic party pay attention. because you cannot let those who attacked our capitol and those who urged them on to do so, act with impunity. that's what happens in dictatorships and authoritarian regimes. so i think it's important people recognize if ever there was a time to vote and vote literally for your rights and our future, it's this midterm.

hinckley was a mentally ill 25-year-old. after 30 years at a psychiatric facility, his restrictions were gradually lifted, and then earlier this month a judge granted him full freedom. hinckley sat down with major garrett for an interview that you'll see only on cbs news. >> i went to the washington hilton hotel, and he came out from giving a speech. and i was right there, and i fired shots at him, which so unfortunately hit other people too. >> do you have any recollection of that feeling at that moment? >> no. >> you don't? >> i don't. it's such another lifetime ago. i can't tell you now the emotion he had right as he came walking out. i just can't tell you that. >> mostly that is something you can't remember? >> right. >> because you don't want to remember? >> maybe. maybe. but you're right. it's something i don't want to remember.

changed, you know, with a new president. >> that's it? >> i mean, yeah, it would have been a big historical event. i'm glad i did not succeed. >> you are? >> oh, yes, very much so. >> you traumatized a nation too. >> i did. >> are you sorry for that? >> yes. i'm sure the country was traumatized. i'm very sorry for that. >> is there any part of you that wonders how the john hinckley of that era could have gotten to that point? >> i did not have a good heart. i was doing things that, you know, a good person doesn't do. so it's hard for me to relate at all to that person back then. >> reporter: hinckley was judged mentally unfit to stand trial and spent more than 30 years at a mental institute in washington, d.c. he was released to his mother's care in 2016 and granted full

freedom earlier this month. is your story and your freedom justice? >> yes. >> why is it just? >> because i was not just a cold, calculating criminal in 1981. i truly believe i had a serious mental illness that was preventing me from knowing right from wrong back then. >> hinckley believes decades of treatment and medication make him no threat today. >> i've been in hundreds, maybe thousands of therapies, individual and group. i've been the most scrutinized person in the entire mental health system for 41 years. >> is one of the reasons you're sitting down with me to try to soften the public perception? >> yes. i'm just trying to show people i'm kind of an ordinary guy just trying to get along like everybody else. if you just think that i'm some crazy person, i'm not that anymore at all. >> the reagan family, brady

family and representatives for jodie foster did not reply to our request for comment. do you think you'll ever have a chance to get closure with them? >> i don't know. i really don't think the brady family or the reagan family or jodie foster, i don't think they want to hear from me. >> would you like them to consider forgiving you? >> yes. they probably can't, but i wish they would. >> do you want to give them a reason to? >> i feel terrible for what i did, and i've had remorse for many years for what i did. if i could take it all back, i would. i swear, i would take it all back. >> hinckley lives alone with his cat theo whom he calls his best friend. he hopes to create a career as a singer/songwriter. three venues had small venues booked for hinckley, but they were all canceled because of concerns for hinckley security and for audiences. for the future, hinckley tells us there wilill be no publilic

the other big news we learned today is rudy giuliani and the president's chief of staff sought pardons. that means we now know of at least nine individuals who sought pardons from president trump in the final days of his term. let's get straight to cbs' scott macfarlane at the capital with all the details. good evening, scott. >> hey, norah. the house committee and his 26-year-old former aide to the white house chief of staff painted a powerful picture, beginning with the trump white house ignoring warnings of looming violence at the capitol and ending with the chief of staff seeking that presidential pardon. when the day began, cassidy hutchinson was a name and face unknown to most americans. by the end of the day, she'd made history, including her description of an altercation in the presidential limo when his chief secret service agent bobby engel refused to bring then president donald trump to the u.s. capitol, to which he just directed the crowd on january 6th. >> the president says something to the effect of i'm the f'ing president. take me up to the capitol now.

to which bobby respond, "sir, we have to go back to the west wing." the president reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel. mr. engel grabbed his arm, said "sir, you need to take your hand off the steering wheel. we're going back to the west wing. we're not going to the capitol." mr. trump then used his free hand to lunge towards bobby engel. >> reporter: in the early hours of that day, hutchinson says trump was warned of people carrying weapons, including guns, descending on key landmarks in d.c., but that trump sought to have the metal detectors removed, concerned they'd reduce the size of his white house ellipse crowd. >> take the f'ing mags away. they're not here to hurt me. let them in. let my people in. they can march to the capitol after the rally is over. >> president trump was aware a number of people in the crowd had weapons and were wearing body armor.

and here is what president trump instructed the crowd to do. >> we're going walk down, and i'll be there with you. we're going walk down to the capitol. >> reporter: as rioters began their attack, the president wouldn't budge. hutchinson said she asked her boss, trump chief of staff mark meadows to intervene. >> the rioters are getting really close. have you talked to the president? he said "no, he wants to be alone right now." she testified meadows, white house staff pat cipollone and trump all knew of the chants of "hang mike pence" echoing through the mob. >> i remember pat saying something to the effect of, "mark, we need to do something more. they're literally calling for the vice president to be f'ing hung." and mark responded something to the effect of "you heard it, pat. he thinks mike deserves it. he doesn't think they're doing anything wrong." >> rioters chanted "hang mike pence." the president of the united states, donald trump said that, quote, mike deserves it.

>> reporter: the committee cited norah's interview with the house republican leader who urged the president to intervene. >> as norah o'donnell noted during an interview with white house republican leader kevin mccarthy -- >> leader mccarthy, the president of the united states has a briefing room steps from the oval office. why hasn't he walked down and said that? >> reporter: hutchinson described her disappointment with the president's 2:24 p.m. tweet. as attackers poured on to the grounds, he wrote "mike pence lacked courage." >> as an american, i was disgusted. it was unpatriotic. it was un-american. we were watching the capitol building get defaced over a lie. >> in the final moments of the hearing, hutchinson said both mark meadows and rudy giuliani sought pardons. trump responded to the hearing saying hutchinson's story was a fake story and that he hardly knew her. norah? >> scott macfarlane, thank you.

let's turn to our esteemed political team who were all here watching this unfold with me. john dickerson, there was a lot that made today different. >> there was. we've seen the outside picture on january 6th. what this today was the inside intimate portrait, the closest look we've gotten to president trump on that day and his inner circle. and we were given that view by someone who had a unique perch. hutchinson worked for the chief of staff. that is like being in the air traffic control tower of the white house. she witnessed the frantic lawyers running through the hall, the pleas from members of congress, and her boss, who wilted in the face of a president who was encouraging violence, ignoring the warnings, and even lunging at his secret service agent, would stop at nothing until the violence started, and then did nothing for so long. >> that was part of it. president trump knew there would be violence. what about other law enforcement? >> yeah, that's a good point. early on january 6th the white house we found out today was getting warnings about the potential for violence. in fact, there were reports that there were some people there in

the crowd armed with ar-15s or handguns, even spears, and yet the inclination was hey, let's not beef up security. let's lessen the security there because president trump wanted his supporters there. and as you know, i was in the crowd that day at the capitol. it was clear to me and others at the scene that police were outnumbered. it took hours for the national guard to show up. so this testimony today, norah, raised serious questions about security that day. >> jeff pegues, thank you. robert costa, what happens now? >> we're at historic crossroads. all eyes turn to attorney general merrick garland. does he look and evaluate this new evidence and believe that it rises to the threshold of indicting a former president of the united states, a weighty decision for the former judge. it carries enormous political and legal implications. it's also a decision point for the republican party. you spoke to house republican leader kevin mccarthy on the day of the capitol attack. what will they do now after digesting this new information,

this testimony? will they still embrace the former president? and remember, he is eyeing a return, a comeback, a 2024 presidential run. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

♪ >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." >> tonight former british socialite ghislaine maxwell is sitting in a new york city jail cell after being sentenced to 20 years in prison for helping jeffrey epstein sexually abuse underaged girls for nearly a decade. cbs' jericka duncan is outside the courthouse. good evening, jericka. >> good evening, norah. it was moment even survivors were not expecting when ghislaine maxwell spoke directly to the very women that she abused, wearing a white mask and shackled at the ankles. for the first time she addressed the court for about five minutes, telling victims, quote,

i am sorry for the pain you experienced. she stopped short, however, of accepting responsibility for their abuse. now a total of eight women submitted statements to the judge today. five of them were read out loud, including that of annie farmer. as you may recall, she testified that she was abused by jeffrey epstein and ghislaine maxwell at the age of 16 years old. she told reporters when it came to maxwell's apology, she said it was hollow, but she thanked her fellow survivors for coming forward. now ghislaine maxwell's legal team is planning to appeal that guilty verdict. but if they're unsuccessful and that 20-year sentence stands, ghislaine maxwell won't get out of prison, norah, until she is 80 years old. >> jericka duncan, thank you for covering this case for so long. well, tonight the battle over abortion rights has shifted to the states where political and legal fights are currently under way, including texas, where a judge today ruled that abortions can continue, at least for the next two weeks.

here is cbs' lilia luciano. >> reporter: the abortion battle lines have shifted to the states. >> we are hearing very loud and clear from our bases that this a beginning. >> reporter: in texas today a judge allowed clinics to resume abortions up to six weeks of pregnancy, but only until the next hearing in mid-july. >> at least for today, we can say that abortion providers cannot be prosecuted for at least the time being. >> reporter: it's one of three states where courts have put bans on hold. wisconsin's attorney general suing to block a ban from taking effect there. nine states currently have abortion bans in effect, including tennessee, where as of today, abortions after the sixth week are now illegal. the next battle over reproductive rights may have already begun after supreme court justice clarence thomas suggested the court should reconsider the case protecting access to contraception. several major pharmacies like cvs and rite aid are improving

imposing limits on the purchase of emergency contraception, also known as the morning after pill following a surge in demand. >> if you don't have that option, you're just stuck with options that are less effective. >> reporter: elizabeth dowdy says she and her husband don't want children, so she has an iud, but she lives in louisiana where a law this spring would have banned abortion at fertilization, making iuds and emergency contraceptives illegal. that bill failed. >> an accident happens, i don't want to have to travel across %-p. that shouldn't need to happen. >> reporter: here in california, voters will decide whether to amend the state's constitution in order to protect the right to abortion during the midterms on november. norah? >> lilia luciano, thank you. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

we want to turn now to one of the deadliest incidents involving trafficked migrants in history. tonight the death toll is 51 and authorities are looking for answers after migrants were found abandoned inside the tractor-trailer in the scorching summer heat. cbs' omar villafranca is in san antonio. >> i believe we're going need more medics. so far i have about one, two, three -- probably about six or seven more patients that i can see. >> reporter: a horrifying scene for first responders. >> okay. i believe we could use about two

or three more bodies inside the truck for backboards. >> reporter: an abandoned 18-wheeler filled with migrants in san antonio's triple-digit heat. >> very sad to report that we -- the medical examiner's office has 51 bodies, 12 women. >> reporter: initially, 16 survived and were taken to area hospitals. five later died, including children. >> the patients that we saw were hot to the touch. they were suffering from heatstroke, heat exhaustion, no signs of water in the vehicle. >> reporter: the chaotic scene is a familiar one on the u.s./mexico border. human traffickers are known to use trucks and trailers to smuggle people into south texas. over the years, officials have discovered stash houses filled with migrants waiting to board trailers to their destination. the journey is dangerous and oftentimes deadly. two people are now facing weapons charges adds mayor ron nirenberg is demanding a full

investigation. >> these were inhumane conditions, and we want the people who are responsible for that to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. >> reporter: it's worth noting that the trailer that was found behind me was just off interstate 35 which goes all the way to minnesota. interstate 10 also cuts through san antonio, and that goes from california to florida. both are popular routes with smugglers. norah? >> omar villafranca there in san antonio, thank you. president biden secured a major victory today, convincing turkey to allow finland and sweden to join nato, that in the face of russian aggression in ukraine. here is cbs' nancy cordes traveling with the president in madrid. >> reporter: this is the handshake that paved the way for the most significant expansion of the nato alliance in nearly 20 years. >> i'm pleased to announce that we now have an agreement. >> reporter: famously neutral for decades, sweden and finland rushed to apply for nato membership last month, fearing

all the allies on the same page if the war in ukraine drags on, fueling gas prices and food prices, particularly here in europe. norah? >> nancy cordes in madrid, thank you. the "cbs overnight news" will be the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. whwho says youou can't gett 10100% whiter r teeth? try y crest whititening emululs. reremove 10 yeyears of statai. in just t 4 days. and itit's enamel l safe for evereryday use.. better..... faster..... 100% whihiter teeth.h. crest. the e #1 teeth w whitening branand in ameririca.

"we heard they stopped the aid because white people are at war." that war has sent food prices soaring as vladimir putin chokes ukraine's ability to ship vital grain to africa. so this burst of rain, some of the first in 18 months is for the moment a blessing. but lomuria knows it won't be enough.
