3:36 am
combat veteran. can you describe what the place has been like? over the last week the russians have intensified. because of the high precision weapons, the russians have not advanced at all. commanders credit american supplied himar weapons for destroying weapon depots deep into russia. they haven't stopped the russian military from raining rockets down on towns and cities within easy reach. the indiscriminate shelling of residential neighborhoods is a tragic reality for front line towns like this one. what makes this strike different is where the attack came from. just across the dinipro river not more than a few miles away lies the zaporizhzhia power plant. residents have come under intense nightly bombardment

>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm liliana luciano. thanks for staying with us. the seizure of highly sensitive documents will take center stage. top democrats are demanding that the director of national intelligence conduct a damage assessment to determine if the nation's security has been compromised. republican leaders as well as news organizations including cbs news are calling for the fbi to release the affidavit that
3:41 am
convinced the judge to approve the search. margaret brennan has more. >> reporter: the department of justice is investigating mr. trump for potential criminal action. a federal court issued a search warrant after finding probable cause and removal of national security documents and violations of the espy owe naming act. the removal of materials is illegal, whether they're classified or not. the fbi seized 11 sets of classified documents, some marked top secret and above including highly sensitive intercept and while in office presidents can declassify most anything but white house lawyers establish a paper trail. it is unclear if one exists for these items. the search was conducted with two of mr. trump's lawyers on site but was not public knowledge until the former president announced it on his
3:42 am
social media platform truth social monday night. it was the first of many postings with the familiar charges of hoaxes, witch hunts and other claims. the outrage was fast and furious. >> i want to know what led to this. i think every republican believes that the fbi and other organizations have all lost their mind. >> this should scare the living day lights out of american citizens. the way our federal government has gone, it's like what we thought about the gustoppo. >> reporter: threats online were the same as january 6th. >> any threats made against law enforcement including the men and women of the fbi, they're deplorable and dangerous. >> thursday, ricky shipper, a navy vaern, was shot and killed by police following his armed
3:43 am
attempt to breach an fbi field office in cincinnati, ohio. while the standoff was still ongoing, attorney general merrick garland offered a rare public statement defending the search. >> i personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. the department does not take such decision lightly. >> reporter: a court then agreed to garland's request to unseal the warrant. trump's lawyers did not object. that warrant gave us some incite friday into what was seized. the doj investigation began months ago following the national archives discovery that some of mr. trump's presidential records had not been turned over as dictated by law. the former president acknowledged he had taken material to mar-a-lago after he left office and returned 15 boxes in january. soon after that officials disclosed that classified national security information was among those materials. this spring a federal judge issued a subpoena in search of
3:44 am
further records that investigators believed he failed to turn over. on june 3rd federal agents returned to mar-a-lago to discuss additional material that was missing. cbs news has learned that a trump attorney certified in writing after that meeting that all classified materials had been removed from mar-a-lago. doj suspected that was not the case, which triggered the fbi's retrieval last monday. >> do you have any sense at this time whether the information that donald trump had at his florida residence posed any kind of threat to national security? >> well, all i know about the actual materials is what was in that search warrant inventory, but from that alone you can tell there was a serious risk to disclosure to potentially sources and methods because some of those documents were marked top secret, sensitive department information. that is the highest due to
3:45 am
extreme grave information and the fact that they were in an unsecured place that is guarded with nothing more than a padlock or whatever security they had at a hotel is deeply alarming, and i have asked for, along with chairman maloney, a damage assessment by the intelligence community and a briefing to congress. >> reporter: will you get one? have you heard from the director of national intelligence? >> i have not heard back yet but i am confident we will get one and i am confident the community will do a damage assessment, that is fairly routine, when there is the potential of disclosure of national security information and to me what is most disturbing here the degree to which at least the reporting it appears to be willful on the president's part. the keeping of these documents after the government was requesting them back, and that adds another layer of concern.
3:46 am
>> that was margaret brennan with senator adam schiff, chairman of the senate intelligence committee. in western new york, author salman rushdie is said to be on the road to recovery. the controversial writer was stabbed ten times as he was preparing to give a lecture. lee cowan reports. >> reporter: it all played out in front of a horrified audience. famed author salman rushdie was in western new york where police say a man in the audience suddenly rushed the stage and attacked him. also injured was the event's moderator, henry rees. >> there was an attack on freedom of expression and someone who is a luminary in the world. he's not one to back away from a fight. >> reporter: indeed, rushdie was there to talk about how the united states was a safe haven for exiled writers, but before he could get a word out the 75-year-old was being air lifted
3:47 am
to a nearby hospital in pennsylvania where he underwent surgery for multiple stab wounds. although those wounds are said to be serious, he's said to be off a ventilator and able to speak. >> british author salman rushdie went into hiding today with the storm over his novel "satanic versus." >> he began in 1989 when outrage reached a fevered pitch all around the world. the 547 page volume fictionalized the life of muhammad making controversial references to the prophet himself, islam and the koran. it was almost instantly banned in countries including bangladesh, sudan, sri lanka, even india where rushdie was born. the then suprememe leader o of , the ayatollah khamenei issued a
3:48 am
fakwa. >> however offensive that book might be, inciting war it's deeply offensive to the norms of civilized behavior. >> he doesn't have a right to slander and distort and tell lies. that's what we are against. >> reporter: protests soon spread to the u.s. as well. over time, however, rushdie became a quiet but dedicated hero. >> free speech. free speech. >> reporter: a symbol of free speech, even as he lived his life on the run. he reentered society living in new york where we talked with him back in 2002. >> i'm just getting back to the ordinary business of being a writer. >> reporter: while heunder stood the power of his plight, he
3:49 am
seemed to hope his legacy would be more than that one novel, one he never considered to be his best. >> to be famous for the wrong thing is a terrible fate. i have spent a dozen years of my life trying to climb out from under that. >> reporter: the suspect in friday's attack, from fair view, new jersey, pleaded not guilty to second degree murder charges. his next court appearance is on friday. a few extremist groups praised it as vindication that the faquah had been carried out. for his fans and friends, the fact that rushdie was attacked in such a quiet place, dedicated to the art of writing and free thought, is certainly reason for pause. >> if you're a writer, you should continue to write and you should write bravely and
3:50 am
truthfully. >> which is exactly what he did? >> yes. art lives on but writers do not and it's our job to defend them. >> reporter: as salman rushdie himself once year read, just what is freedom of expression? without the freedom to offend, he said, it ceases to exist. >> that was lee cowan reporting. >> that was lee cowan reporting. ♪♪♪ hehere goes nonothing. hey greg.. uhh...hehello? it's's me, your heart! really? yes! recording an ekg in 30 seconds. tada! wow, that was fast. you know it! kardia offers the only personal ekgs that detecect six of t the most cocommon arrhyhyts in jusust 30 secononds. so you canan mananage your heheart health from h home, or onon the go. your heartrt rhythm isis no. no arrhyhythmias in n sight. i wowonder what t my doctor wowould say. ooh! l let's find d out! with k kardia, youou can emal your e ekg directltly to thm
