it's wednesday, june 7th, 2017. welcome back to "cbs this morning." ahead, there's more breaking news. president trump announces he will nominate christopher wray to be the new fbi director. plus, intelligence committee chair mark warner on tomorrow's 278 of former fbi director james comey, but first here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. president trump revealed his choice to be fbi director. >> saying this. i will be nominatining christopr a. wray. >> it's making it harder for president trump to accomplish his legislative goals. >> that's what we're doing. we're working every day to do that and we're plowing ahead

with that. >> but clearly that sounds like a canned answer to that question. >> they deny russians were behind the fake news story saying there was zero evidence. >> iran's parliament was stormed by terrorists this morning in one of two deadly attacks in ir iran. isis is claiming responsibility. >> reality winner is being held in jail on espionage charges. her parents who were on their way decided they wanted to respond in her behalf. >> did you know gandhi spoke in this building? martin luther king? winston churchill spoke. despite all that, they still allowed mihm to come here and make a television show. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. we have breaking news from the white house.

president trump has found a replacement for fired fbi director james comey. the president tweeted, "minutes ago i will be nominated christopher a.wray, a man of impeckable credentials to be the new director. >> let's go to margaret brennan at the white house. good morning, margaret. what can you tell us? >> good morning, gayle. this was a very trumpian way to announce his new fbi director. this is following the firing of jim comey and amid the ongoing probe into connections between russia and the trump administration and the trump campaign. now, what we know is christopher wray's litigation attorney who actually comes with the endorsement of new jersey governor chris christie, wray actually served christy in a role during bridgegate. we know chris wray came in to

meet with president trump to interview for the job just last tuesday. he was within of two remaining candidates on the list that include many names of people who had actually withdrawn themselves looking at the scale and scope of this job. it will be a challenging one for wray or whoever steps into this position given not only the scrutiny on the fbi director right now or the position that his boss or direct boss, attorney general jeff sessions is in. as we have been reporting, the president has been frustrated recently with the justice department and his attorney general. now having chris ray report to sessions. he's taking on a big job at a time when there's incredible scrutiny on the fbi and a lot of pressure from the white house to change the focus, change the narrative away interest this ongoing questioning about any kind of alleged contact between russia and the trump team. so at least for today the president has changed the focus of what is next and not exactly

what happened when he fired fbi director comey who will be testified on capitol hill tomorrow. >> i thought, margaret, the president was trying to focus on infrastructure. >> that is the agenda. that the agenda. that's supposed to be what all the pomp and circumstance is about. but i guess president trump knows his audience if he's been watching the news shows. he knows what we've been talking about. >> margaret, thank you so much. the intelligence committee is starting two days of hearings that could dramatically affect it. the committee is likely to ask about it today when the top officials and the attorney general testify about fisa warrants. >> comey told jeff sessions he didn't want to be alone with the president. he said the pretty asked him not to investigate then national security adviser mike an flynn. comey does not plan to allege

the obstruction of justice. >> senator mark warner is here with us on capitol hill. senator, good morning. >> good morning. >> lots to talk with you about today, but first let's get o the breaking news, the president announcing via twitter his choice to be the new fbi director. christopher wray. do you know him? >> i don't know christopher wray. he gets a good reputation, but clearly this is an effort by the president to distract attention from our hearings today and the hearings tomorrow. >> will it work? >> let's see. i think we're going to hear some pretty interesting things this morning because not only do we have reports that the president tried to intervene with fbi director comey and asked him to back off the investigation of general flynn, which would be totally inappropriate, but we also have reports that he also asked the director of national

intelligence dan coats and the head of the nsa admiral rogers to back off or try to downplay the fbi investigation into mr. trump and his affiliates. we're going to have a chance to talk with them this morning. they may try to hide behind executive privilege or legal eas es,. but we're going to press him really hard. tomorrow with even more evidence when jim comey gets to tell his story, think all the efforts that the president uses to distract his story that he's throwing up, frankly, aren't going to work. >> if those are confirmed, does that constitute obstruction of justice? >> i went to law school but never practiced a day of law. i will leave that to legal minds. what it will show is a really disturbing pattern. if there's one thing we learned

since watergating it's not the right role for the president to intervene in an ongoing investigation, particularly when ha investigation involves potentially the president and his affiliates. what we do know for sure is there were no contacts with russians and that just isn't true. we've had his nsa adviser general flynn resign because he didn't tell about the contacts. we've had the attorney general recuse himself because he didn't tell about contacts with russians. we've had now one of his closest adviser, mr. kushner, a whole series of contacts. why weren't they revealed? we also need to figure out why is the pretty trying to back down this investigation. >> senator warner, you have said to me in other interviews this is the most important thing you have been involved in. we've had former dni director clapper say in australia this is far worse than watergate. based on your knowledge so far,

is it? >> well, this has got more moving parts than watergate or any other potential investigation that i am aware of in modern times. there's not a week that goes by that there's not a news story about contacts, russian intervenice, that really we have to get to the bottom of it. the good news is at least in the intelligence community we're doing it in a bipartisan way. the worst thing that could happen is if this committee split and we end up with a democratic nair active and republican narrative. i don't think that's going to happen. i think we are going to follow the facts wherever they lead. >> senator, i heard you say you're going to press him pretty hard today. what is your strategy? what do you most want to know? >> i have a great deal of respect for dan coats. he used to be a colleague of mine on the national intelligence committee and

admiral rogers has been a member. i understand they're active members of this administration. some of the questions i ask are going to be a bit uncomfortable, but i think in this case the american public needs to know with this cloud that hangs over everything that this administration is doing, they can help clarify, i hope they step up. i think we will have at least in the case of admiral rogers some other evidence that the call took place and that there is some memorializing of that call and that's very, very concerning to me. >> senator, one of the other thing wes're learning is former fbi director comey told attorney general jiff sessions he didn't want to be alone with the president of the united states, and yet the former fbi director didn't tell anybody in the justice department about that. if he believes the president was trying o obstruct justice, why didn't he tell the justice

department? >> that's a good question and a question that needs to be asked. what we may have here is a series of interventions that i believe these individuals all felt was at least improper or uncomfortable. you just don't have a sitting president ask about an ongoing investigation particularly when that ongoing investigation involves close associates of the president. and if the president went as far as to say back off or in the case of general flynn, can you just let the whole thing go, that is just unacceptable. others will make the decision whether that crosses some legal boundary, but clearly, you know -- as a former governor i would never put people who work for me in that circumstance. >> senator, based on what you know as the minority member of this committee, do you fear that this goes far more than anything we have known so far? far deeper? far wider?

>> i feel like what i thought most of the time we would be spending would be spent on contacts between trump affiliates and associates and the russians prior to the election. there's a whole series of interviews and stories we have not got on the yet because we've had this whole series of contacts including with the attorney general and mr. kushner that took place between the election and the swearing in. really, again, an unprecedented level of contacts which until recently had been an adversary and mass inially intervened in our elections. now we have the interphoenixing with the prrt and the top intelligence officials. the one thing we pride ourselves on in this country is our federal officials speak truth power, theory not supposed to be political, and if we prove out today that he talked to rogers,

coats, asked them to back off, bld then if we have comey coming forward with memos that were contemporaneous with a series of questioning with the pretty, in it toal we're going to see a pattern that even the skeptic is going to have to sit up and say, this is very, very serious. >> senator warren, thank you for joining us today. >> thank you. >> we'll bring you the live testimony. john dickerson and jan crawford will be joining us here in studio 57 and a team of correspondents will be covering it tomorrow morni ing at 10:00 a.m. central. first on

now you're here, kevin spacey. let's start with the darrow role because i think the venue is so interesting. arthur ashe big stadium. how did you choose that? >> we reconfigured it into a theater in rounds, so i really wanted to keep that way of doing us because there was a lot of audience participation. i go out in the audience, make them read things, and i choose my audience. there's something exciting about an audience watching an audience watching a play. >> who was clarence darrow? >> he was a remarkable labor attorney. he got for workers rights, for better conditions, for hours. in fact, he's the reason we have an eight-here day, although, charlie, you don't have an eight-hour day. he became a huge civil right attorney. he was never frade to put his head above the parapet.

i think he managed to in all of his arguments use home-spun logic and humor to make his points an he managed to convince juries and judges that the issuissue s and causes he fought for were right and he managed to remove politics and statistics and just tell a person's story. when you tell someone's personal story, prejudice does fall away. >> he saved hundreds of people. >> 210. >> you bring the words to life. >> what makes it so much fun to do the show is about the roup with me and the audience. it's not just me up there. i'm out there quite a lot. >> but you're driving the train. >> i am definitely driving the train. >> turching from that to the tonys, the tonys are a piece of cake for you? >> i'm the nerd host.
