good morning from the studio 57 newsroom at cbs headquarters here in new york. i'm anne-marie green. this morning search crews in southern california are desperately looking for victims of the mudslides that have already killed 17 people. 17 more people are reported missing. santa barbara county officials estimate 100 homes were destroyed as tons of mud, rock, and uprooted tries rolled downhill. a 30-mile stretch of u.s. highway 101 remains closed and is not expected to reopen until monday. tom wait in montecito, california, has our report. >> reporter: the search for victims continues in southern california. >> they kind of do what you do when you have an avalanche. you go around and poke and if you feel something different, you try to figure out what it is. this is still a search-and-rescue operation. first responders say other

responders may be trapped in the mud somewhere. >> there are several factors that go into determining how long a victim will be viable. air temperature, soil temperature, weather conditions at the like. >> reporter: 500 rescue workers have been combing through the debris field. they've already canvassed 75% of it, but what remains are the hardest hit and least accessible areas. hundreds of homes have either been damaged or destroyed by the mudslides. >> oh, my god, mom. >> reporter: using his cell phone marco farrell captured scene with his cell phone. >> reporter: several areas are buried under debris. they won't reopen until next week. well, there have already

been several dramatic rescues of mudslide victims. a man told jeff glor he narrowly escaped when his home was destroyed by a wall of mud and debris and then he heard a little noise and went into the pile. >> i went into the pile and in the middle of the muck was a little baby, this little child in the mud up to its -- tangled in the roots and the metal and the rock. if we weren't standing within two feet of that thing, we would have never heard it. so many things had to get to the point where we were there. we got in, grabbed it, and pulled it out of the mud. >> the girl's okay. >> the girl's okay. if you'd seen the -- there's no way we should have found that child. in probably 15 more minutes it wouldn't have been alive.

it was coal and had been there for a while. >> it's unclear where the child came from or what happened to her family. in washington president trump said it seemed unlikely he would be interviewed by special counsel robert mueller but that in his words he'll see what happens. back in june the president said that he would cooperate. major garrett has more. >> there's been no collusion. there's been no crime. >> there's no collusion whatsoever. >> and there is no collusion. >> that has been president trump's mantra as special counsel robert mueller continues to investigate connections between the campaign and russian operatives. but they're negotiating with how and when the interview will occur, but mr. trump say that may not be necessary. >> it seems unlikely that you'd

even have an interview. >> he did point to a precedent to a potential interview, comparing his situation to the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. >> hillary clinton had an interview where she wasn't sworn in, she wasn't given the oath, they didn't take notes, they didn't record, and it was done on the 4th of july weekend. >> clinton's interview occurred july 2nd, 2016, and lasted 3 1/2 hours. investigators did take notes despite mr. trump's claim. on twitter the president for the first time called on republicans to, quote, finally take control of the russia investigation that he said was making the country a laughingstock. >> they've had this phony cloud over this administration, over our government, and it has hurt our government. it does hurt our government. it's a democrat hoax. >> the president's lawyer believes an interview with mueller would signal an eminent conclusion of his investigation. we learned wednesday in early

november mueller added a justice expert in cyber crime to his team. on capitol hill talks continue to come up with a bipartisan deal on immigration reform. house republicans introduced their version of a deal that addresses hundreds of thousands of young people brought into the country illegally as children, so-called d.r.e.a.m.ers. the deferred action for childhood arrivals or daca ends on march 5th. trump said any deal must include a border security wall. >> i really believe they're going to come up with a solution to the daca problem, which has been going on for a long time. and maybe beyond that, immigration as a whole. but any immigration it has to include a wauchlt without the wall, it doesn't work. >> a federal judge temporarily blocked the administration from blocking daca. lawmakers must pass by january

19th to prevent a government shutdown. amid the immigration negotiations essentially agents targ targeted 7-eleven stores. they were asked to produce hiring records with worker immigration status. 7-eleven said in a statement that store owners are responsible for hiring and verifying work el imageth. the latest republican lawmaker to say he is retiring is congressman darrell issa of california. issa who said he will not seek re-election is a staunch supporter of president trump. democrats home to regain the house. the faa is investigating why a jet nearly landed on the bronc runway at san francisco international airport. late yesterday the aero mexican

students, my fellow educators and support staff, workers and outside of the school system even. >> the district school superintendent said he never ordered her arrest and has been getting hate e-mails. coming up, an alert from mexico. and a new breed that can officially hit the dog circuit. this is the "cbs morning news." e feel fuller longer. benefiber® healthy shape. this i can do! a trip back to the dthe doctor's office, mean just for a shot. but why go back there, when you can stay home with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. neulasta helps reduce infection risk by boosting your white blood cell count, which strengthens your immune system.
