learn how you can help at girlup.org. we're going to turn now to john dickerson. our chief washington correspondent and anchor of "face the nation". the question that hangs over all of this is whether the president might have committed obstruction of justice in pressuring comey to drop the flynn investigation. >> we get a little clarity on that. the president wanted this cloud removed. that's kind of a vague statement, but comey felt on the specific question of flynn that the president was asking him to end that investigation. a defense could be the president didn't know. the president's state of mind is important on this obstruction question, but the fact that the president asked for private meetings to have these conversations we seem to believe that he knew what he was doing wasn't right. and in his early meetings with the president he said we're not supposed to be talking like this. and then finally, comey's firing. it's not just what he details in
3:11 am
his opening statement. in his very first meeting they talked about loyalty and whether comey wanted to stay in the job. that relationship between performance and staying in the job kept going throughout. comey didn't do what the president wanted, was fired. so what he thought was implicit actually came to pass. >> what does congress do about this? >> well, they are where it will end up if it ends up anywhere. the president can't be prosecuted, the law says, what will congress do? what will the republicans do? they're four square in support of the president still. what's the standard? during the campaign, republicans and donald trump said it was outrageous that bill clinton met with the attorney general investigating his wife's server. they thought it was obstruction. if that was obstruction, what's the new standard now? >> the president's popularity rating isn't very high, and that undercuts his support in congress. >> it does, although it's still pretty high with republicans who will vote in the off-year
3:12 am
elections. they have to be careful there if they try to step away from the president. >> john dickerson. we'll be watching "face the nation" on sunday. thank you, john. today the president named a replacement for comey, and major garrett tells us more about christopher wray. >> reporter: the president told the world about his fbi pick on twitter, calling chris wray a lawyer of quote impeccable credentials. in cincinnati, mr. trump had few words about his choice. wray, 50, led the justice department's criminal division for two years under president george w. bush. most of his time was spent on corporate fraud persecutions, the biggest, jail time for executives of enron. after leaving the justice department, he was a defense attorney, notably for chris christie in the bridgegate scandal. wray lacks extensive background in terrorism and national security prosecutions but is
3:13 am
respected in the legal community. he is not well-known among rank and file fbi agents. >> chris wray is unflappable from my experience. >> reporter: kent alexander hired wray when he was u.s. attorney in georgia. >> i think the fbi could use a little less politics. and he is a very non-partisan guy. i was a clinton appointee when i hired him. chris is a republican. >> reporter: the appointment comes at a time when president trump's relationship with jeff sessions remains strained. for the second day in a row, the white house declined to say if the president had confidence in sessions. early senate reaction to wray's nomination was positive, even among some democrats. in the aftermath of comey's firing, wray's biggest confirmation hurdle will be proving his ability and willingness to deflect all forms of political pressure. >> major garrett, thanks. in another important story tonight. isis has claimed responsibility for a pair of attacks that occurred today in tehran. at least 12 were killed in
3:14 am
what's believed to be the first time isis has struck inside iran. mark phillips is following this. >> reporter: the targets were chosen for maximum exposure and symbolic value. two suicide bombers, one said to be a woman, at one of iran's most revered places, the mausoleum for the leader of the 1979 revolution, ayatollah khomeini. and an assault on the iranian parliament where at least one of the attackers got as far as the fourth floor before blowing themselves up. isis not only claimed responsibility, it released video from inside the building while the operation was still under way. according to iranian sources, it took five hours for all the attackers to be killed. the attacks were another example of how isis, while being driven from its remaining strongholds in syria and iraq is lashing out
3:15 am
at its enemies where they live. across the great islamic divide, sunni isis has been a historic foe of shia iran. tehran today, london, paris, manchester in the last weeks. as it fights for its diminishing heartland, isis has vowed it will strike its enemies at home. it may be a desperate tactic, scott, but it continues to claim victims. >> mark phillips in our london newsroom, thank you. and police in london today recovered a body from the thames river, believed to be the eighth fatality from saturday's van and knife attack on london bridge. dozens were hurt. ten are still in critical condition. the police shot and killed the three attackers. coming up, a defense challenges the story told by bill cosby's accuser. and later, china looks not to washington but california to fight climate change.

trial stood by her story today but admitted a mistake. jericka duncan is at the courthouse. >> reporter: andrea constand testified for over four hours. the defense drilled her on what they say were discrepancies about her statement about the date she originally told investigators she'd been sexually assaulted at cosby's home. you told investigators that was the day, march 16th. constand replies, i was mistaken. they show cell phone records from the night of march 16 to prove constand could not have been drugged and passed out that night based upon the phone call she made. later, constand said march 16th was the day she went to cosby's home to confront him about what allegedly happened. she was asked you were coming to confront a man who assaulted you and you gave him bath salts? constand said yes.

warren had given me a box to give to mr. cosby. constand later said the assault happened between mid january and mid february 2004, from that time until she resigned from temple university on march 31st, the defense says she placed 53 calls to cosby using her work-issued cell phone. the prosecution noted most of those calls were only one minute long. constand's mother also testified today. gianna constand says she had a more than two-hour phone conversation with cosby. during that conversation, cosby admitted to being a sick man. >> jericka duncan for us, thank you. still ahead, what can brown do to fight climate change? un-stop right there! i'm about to pop a cap of "mmm fresh" in that washer with unstopables in-wash scent boosters by downy.

climate accord last week, california governor jerry brown saw an opportunity to go green in china. ben tracy reports from beijing. >> this is serious stuff. this is not a game. this is not appealing to your political base. this is dealing with the existential threats to humanity. >> reporter: california governor jerry brown may now have more in common with the chinese government than he does with the united states government. in a setting normally reserved for visiting heads of state, he met with chinese president xi jinping who is now viewed as the world's leader on climate change. >> china is the world's biggest polluter. do you trust them to lead the world on this issue? >> well, they're taking the climate threat serious. so i say all for the good and california will collaborate. i just hope that washington comes on board. sooner rather than later. >> reporter: brown is not waiting. he came here to spur more chinese investment in renewable energy, such as solar panels and wind turbines, which will help california achieve its own ambitious energy goals.

pollution from coal mines often shrouds china's cities in objection to eck fog. but they are investing in $360 billion to convert to cleaner forms of energy. it's a stark contrast to the trump white house that has promised to open new coal mines. >> you try to prop up dying coal mines or technology that belches toxics out the bell pipe, you're going to lose, and it's time that we start winning. >> reporter: in his rationale pfor pulling out of the paris accord, president trump cited the loss of american jobs, but the chinese think their clean energy initiatives will create 13 million new jobs here in china in the next few years. >> our men in china, thanks, ben. up next, hannah and her sisters and brothers in blue. this portion is sponsored by cialis.

3:30 am
york city, i'm scott pelley. this is the "cbs overnight news." welcome to the overnight news. i'm elaine quijano. the eyes of washington and the nation turn to capitol hill today for the most anticipated congressional testimony in years. fired fbi director james comey will go before the senate intelligence committee. he'll tell what he knows about president trump's effort to influence the investigation of then national security adviser michael flynn. the committee has already released comey's opening statement and it landed like a political bombshell. nancy cordes begins our coverage. >> reporter: comey's seven-page opening statement describes his conversations with the president in detail. seven days after the inauguration comey says, the president invited me to dinner. it turned out to be just the two of of us. instincts told me that the one
3:31 am
on one setting meant that the dinner was at least in part an effort to have me ask for my job and create some sort of patronage relationship. sure enough, comey says, the president said, i need loyalty. i expect loyalty. i didn't move. speak or change my facial expression in any way during the awkward silence that followed. we simply looked at even other in silence. >> he wanted to have dinner, because he wanted to stay on. >> reporter: the president claims comey proposed the dinner and denied that he demanded loyalty. >> did you ask that question? >> no. no, i didn't, but i don't think it would be a bad question to ask. >> reporter: their next encounter comey says came three weeks later in the oval office at the end of a scheduled counter terrorism briefing. the president told the group that he wanted to speak to me alone. after the others left, the president began by saying, i want to talk about mike flynn, the national security adviser who had just been fired for
3:32 am
lying to the vice president about his conversations with the russian ambassador. flynn is under scrutiny by the fbi, but comey says the president told him, i hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to let being flynn go. he's a good guy. i replied only, he is a good guy. the white house insists this is not a truthful and accurate portrayal of the conversation. but comey says he found the meeting so concerning that he shared it with the fbi leadership team and decided to implore the attorney general to prevent any future direct communication between the president and me. and yet, a month and a half later, quote, the president called me at the fbi. he described the russia investigation as a cloud that was impairing his ability to act on behalf of the country. he said he had nothing to do with russia, had not been involved with hookers in russia, a reference to an allegation made in an unsubstantiated dossier put together by a former british spy.
3:33 am
comey says the president asked what we could o to lift the cloud. comey reassured mr. trump that he was not personally under investigation. the president, comey says, repeatedly told me, we need to get that fact out, calling, again, 12 days later to ask what i had done about his request. adding, because i have been very loyal to you. very loyal. we had that thing, you know? comey says, i did not reply or ask him what he meant by "that thing." in a statement this evening, the president's personal lawyer says that he is pleased that comey confirmed that he repeatedly told the president that he was not under investigation. the president, quote, feels completely and totally vindicated. >> the investigation of russia's influence on the presidential election continues in both houses of congress as well as the fbi. jeff pegues brings us up to date. >> i donald john trump. >> reporter: two days after he
3:34 am
was sworn in, he publicly thanked the fbi director for helping secure the inauguration, but comey says he felt uneasy, concerned the hand shake could compromise the independence of the fbi. at that time they were into an investigation of the russian meddling. in the election, and the evidence was mounting. on march 20th at a congressional hearing, comey confirmed the probe. >> that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the trump campaign and the russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and russia's efforts. >> reporter: among those under scrutiny, fired national security adviser michael flynn, former campaign chairman, paul manafort, former campaign adviser carter page and the president's son-in-law, jared kushner. >> the entire thing has been a witch hunt. >> reporter: the president has
3:35 am
kit consistently dismissed the russia investigation, but just as comey alleges mr. trump pressured him over the investigation, sources also say he made similar requests of the director of national intelligence coates and the director of the nsa, michael rogers. >> i don't think it's appropriate to address that in a public session. >> reporter: today neither would answer questions, but they denied any outside influence. >> do the best of my recollection, i have never been directed to do anything i believe to be illegal, immoral, unethical or inappropriate. >> reporter: on may 9th, the president abruptly fired comey who was in the fbi's los angeles office at the time and learned about it on television. the white house initially said comey was fired for his handling of the clinton e-mail investigation but later made clear it was about russia. >> i said, you know this russia thing with trump and russia is a
3:36 am
made-up story. >> reporter: shortly after, the president tweeted a threat. james comey better hope that there are no tapes of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press. but comey didn't need tapes. heading home after being fired, he knew he had been keeping detailed memos since the first time he met the president-elect. senators will likely grill comey on whether he thinks the president's actions amount to obstruction of justice. nearly lost in the day's events was president trump's mom nomination of christopher wray to be the new fbi director. wray is a former federal prosecutor in the justice department. major garrett has that. >> reporter: the president told the world about his fbi pick on twitter, calling chris wray a lawyer of impeccable credentials. in cincinnati, mr. trump had few words about his choice. >> he's going to be great. >> reporter: wray, 50, led the
3:37 am
justice department's criminal division for two years under president george w. bush. most of his time was focussed on corporate fraud prosecutions. the biggest? jail time for top executives of bankrupt energy giant enron. after leaving the justice department, wray was a defense attorney, notably for new jersey governor chris christie in the so-called bridgegate scandal. wray lacks extensive back ground in terrorism and national security prosecutions but is respected in the legal community. he is not well-known among rank and file fbi agents. >> chris wray is unflappable to my experience. >> reporter: kent alexander hired wray when he was u.s. attorney in georgia. >> i think the fbi could use a little less politics, and he is a very non-partisan guy. i was a clinton appointee as u.s. attorney when i hired him. chris is a republican. >> reporter: the appointment comes at a time when president trump's relationship with jeff sessions remains strained. for the second day in a row, the white house declined to say if the president had confidence in sessions.
