7:03 am
let's go places. that's a great sports moment when you see people rolling around in the happy hour. like it. i like it. welcome to "cbs this morning" on this friday. i'm gayle king with john dickerson and norah o'donnell. president trump is dismissing a stung report that says he ordered the firing of special counsel robert mueller months ago. the report confirmed by the "washington post" says white house counsel donald mcgahn refused to go along, and the president then changed his mind. >> this adds a new layer of intrigue to the special counsel's expected interview of the president in the next few weeks. major garrett is at the white house. major, good morning. >> good morning. here's the bottom line. last summer prominent white house officials arguing against president trump taking any
7:04 am
punitive action against special counsel robert mueller, and they prevailed. 4,200 miles from the white house president trump assed the controversy from davos. >> why did you want to fire robert mueller? >> fake news, fake news, folks. typical story from "new york times." >> reporter: they say when he tried to fire special counsel robert mueller in june, white house lawyer don mcgahn threatened to quick. >> i think he's considering perhaps terminating the special counsel. i think he's weighing that option. >> reporter: but by august mr. trump said removing mueller was far from his mind. >> i haven't given it any thought. i've been reading it it from you people. you said, oh, i'm going dismiss him. i'm not dismissing anybody. among the issues, a dispute over
7:05 am
mueller's membership fee at one of the president's golf clubs. he worked at a law firm that represented jared kushner and he interviewed the day before being special counsel. concern over mueller's fate was apparent on capitol hill last summer. >> any effort to go after mueller could be the beginning of the end of the trump presidency. >> and last night they say it should be left alone. >> if it's true, it would be concerning to me. >> there's a credible case of obstruction of justice against the president of the united states. >> we have a case looming. >> rosenstein has told congress he sees nothing wrong with robert mueller's approach to the special investigation and president trump's remarks earlier this week that not only does he look forward to the
7:06 am
interview, that suggests now mueller's job security is safe. >> major garrett, thanks so much. paula reid is in washington. how will it affect the investigation? >> reporter: this could be used as possible evidence into the special investigation into whether the president threatened justice. if it comes up, the president's lawyers have at least two really good arguments. the first is they could argue the president had valid reasons to think mueller had conflict of interest and also that he didn't follow through after he consulted with his lawyers. but, of course, this news adds an awkward dynamic to any possible interview between mueller's team and trump. it could spook the president into wanting to sit down with him at all. because, remember, the president does not have to agree to answer any questions from investigator, but mueller could then subpoena him to have to testify before a
7:07 am
grand jury. now, the president's lawyers could refuse that s&p, try to challenge mueller's authority. it could possibly set off a constitutional crisis. gayle? >> all right, paula. thank you very much. with us is dan senor, former adviser to house speaker paul ryan. he's been talking to republican members of congress since the mueller firing story broke. dan, always good to see you. >> good morning, gayle. i'm wondering. do the republicans say it's a bombshell report? >> it's another example -- i spoke last night to members of congress to get a handle on the immigration proposal and then there was this big deal. i was concerned whether or not there was a story that came out because there's another effort by the white house to contain something trump isser about to do. like this is almost like a shot being fired because they were worried he was going to do something. the impression i got was, no,
7:08 am
this story was probably in the works for months, it's kind of dated. however, it's another example of the lengths that the senior levels they go to. you're seeing it with the doj pressure right now on congressional republicans about nunez releasing that memo which could be problematic. this, mcgahn, possibly kelly. >> is it worrisome he wanted to do it? >> it's extremely worrisome, but it seems his infrastructure around him protects him from his worst instincts. >> they've supported him a lot. on the question of mueller, they have not gone as far as the president has. they have raised questions. they said, no, he's an honest guy doing an honest job. is that break in evidence here on this question of firing mueller? >> yeah. i still believe that there's sort of like a fort around mueller, the congressional republicans. at least the republican leadership are prepared to defend.
7:09 am
again, they will say, good news, bad news. the bad news, he was considering this. the good news, since firing comby, there's another example of him responding to people around him and him not doing these things. >> the white house has put out a plan, a path to citizenship to 1.8 million daca recipients, a $25 billion amount for border security, end of extended family and chain immigration. what do you think? >> i think it was a deftly drafted piece of legislation. anything that they thought he would go, he goes 2 1/2 times the permanent daca holders, all of these people are eligible but never registered. it makes it harder for moderate republicans like susan collins, lisa murkowski, jeff flake to vote against it, and red state
7:10 am
democrats, i think it caught them flatfooted. so i think there's an attempt to build this coalition. i think the risk is with the immigration hardliners. last night i was hearing and seeing those from the immigration restrictest community saying, wait a minute. there's one thing if you want to do a clean trade, some type of path to legal status for current daca recipients in return for a border wall. but you're going beyond that and it's basically amnesty. i think holding the hard-lined republican immigration restricti restrictionists is going to be challenging. president trump will be flying back to washington after speaking at the world economic forum in davos, switzerland. he started the day with the president of rwanda after he used vulgar terms to describe
7:11 am
africans in other nations. margaret brennan has more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. president trump will have the final word when he delivers closing remarks at the world economic forum. white house officials say he will make clear that he supports open markets and free trade, even though he withdrew the u.s. from one deal with asian pacific countries and is still threatening threatening to tear up nafta. >> businesses are coming back into the united states. >> reporter: the commander in chief has fashioned himself as the salesman in chief in davos. trying to convince investors that his america first policies are good for global business. >> when i decided to come do davos, i didn't think in terms of an elitist group. i thought in terms of lots of people who want to invest lots of money. >> reporter: he's also trying to reset relationships with world leaders. meeting with rwanda's president
7:12 am
paul kagame. both leaders ignored questions about the president's alleged derogatory remar about african migrants that caused a shock wai wave across the country. the president was asked apologize. >> if you're telling me that they're horrible people, horrible racist people,'d certainly apologize if you'd like me to do that. i know nothing about that. >> retweeting britain first was the wrong thing to say. >> reporter: prime minister theresa may say it was wrong. yesterday he insisted two leaders are getting along. >> i think the feelings are mutual to the point of liking each other a lot. >> reporter: not ever leader has been receptive to the president. george soros called mr. trump a
7:13 am
threat to the world, but, norah, largely the reception has been a warm one for the president and the officials he brought with him, many of whom who have been attending davos for years back when they were business executives. >> thank you. president trump will deliver his state of the union address on tuesday. it begins at 9:00 p.m. eastern, 8:00 p.m. central right here on cs. the usa olympic committee is requesting that all board members resign. former gymnasts accuse the team doctor of abuse. the judge sentenced nassar up to 175 years in prison. >> the olympic committee says if board members do nod resign by wednesday, the gymnastics governing board will lose its national status. several have already stepped
7:14 am
down. usa gymnastics says it embraces the requirements. dr. jon lapook says there're more to come. >> there certainly is. >> after larry nassar's sentencing the president of msu stepped down. hundreds of students are expected to protest. for many, the leadership changes at usa gymnastics and michigan state university are not enough. >> what's your message to the msu board? >> thank you for making it abundantly clear where you stand. >> reporter: victims rachael denhollander and kyle stephens told norah o'donnell they're not satisfied with the school's response after trustee joe ferguson made what was later called an inadvertent comment about michigan state university president lou anna simon. >> there's so much more going on than just this nassar thing. >> michigan state university is continuing the abuse. how so? >> by not taking responsibility for their actions. they still have not issued an
7:15 am
apology. lou anna simon stepped down, but her statement when she resigned was not apologetic. >> reporter: simon did say she was sorry that a trusted renowned physician was really such an evil, evil person and acknowledged that as president it's only natural that i am the focus of this anger. according to her contract, she's still entitled to several perks including the option to receive her $750,000 salary for a year if she returns to the faculty. that's in addition to lifetime parking passes and football tickets. >> if the right thing was done then 20 years ago, i should have never met this sad excuse for a man. >> reporter: even as nassar's sentencing wrapped up this week, msves an state and usa in another kourtd. in a federal lawsuit victims allege neglect and charges, describing multiple occasions in which they reported abuse as 1997. the defendants have asked the judge to dismiss the caseate in
7:16 am
msu are generally immune from suit and gymnastics did not have a legal duty to report the ga hav an obligation to report suspicions of child or neglect. >> reporter: this is one of t reporters who first broke news in "the indianapolis star." >> we're looking at the entsey o report child sexual happened at every level. >> reporter: for years they've beeneral orsight for having what the feds call a sexually michigan state university implemented changes but espn they rejected it in the u.s. department of education is investigating michigan state complaints. you know, when an animal is under attack, it'sinstinct to g
7:17 am
posture. when that instinct takes place in an employing somebody that's accused of sexual abuse, that's you're seeing now is that defensive posture being pride open. >> they don't have much of a defense it seems in this particular case. >> thank you so much. we're learning two young mothers from two different states died soon after getting the flu. their families say they were healthy adults. the states have a high level of flu activity. manuel bojorquez is at the alabama beach gardens medical center where they're reaching. >> reporter: hospitals like this one have been inundated and some doctors say treating the flu is becoming harder to find in some
7:18 am
spots. here they've set up beds in conference rooms to accommodate all the new patients. >> this is probably the worst flu season i've seen in the last ten years. >> reporter: dr. jaime snarski says it's putting the hospitals strained to capacity. >> we're not quite sure why that is yet. >> reporter: just last week the state saw v 2 new community outbreaks bringing the seasonal total to 159, the highest in nearly a decade. but according to federal health officials, florida is not the only state seeing the highest level of viral activity. still parts of the sunshine state are struggling to treat the virus. >> some pharmacies have been running low on the medication tamiflu. >> reporter: despite the shortage there are other options. >> the preferred route, i would say, is vaccination. we have plenty of vaccine
7:19 am
supply. >> reporter: all three children who died from the flu in florida were not vaccinated. 12-year-old dylan winick is the latest. his stepfather mike is stunned. >> no warnings. just the common cold. that's what's sout it. >> reporter: in one florida school district 20% of students were out six, so school was closed so they could scrub down the classrooms. ahead, how they're using donations to gain access to state attorneys generals and trying to persuade them not to

out of the water if you're willing to spend enough money. >> reporter: it's one of a number of items in the water. things like arsenic, cadmium, pesticides including metals like hex a vai lent chromium. the amount varies from city to city, state to state. in new york city they're building a brand-new toxic facili facility. the price tag, $50 million. the pollution came from a nearby international guard base. martin brand is with the state's environmental division. >> it's a very big deal. new york state is leading the nation frankly. we're one of the first states in the nation to actually regulate these contaminants. >> reporter: but not all cities can afford a major overhaul of their treatment systems. so what's a consumer to do if they want cleaner safer water at home? >> i think it can be really daunting for consumers to try to understand these issues with

it's friday, january 26th, 2018. welcome back to "cbs this morning." president trump rejects a report that he tried to fire robert mueller. only on "cbs this morning" senator cory booker reacts to the story and we're counting down the grammys and revealing their music educator of the year. but first here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> president trump is dismissing a stunning new report that says he ordered the firing of robert mueller seven months ago. >> white house officials arguing against president trump taking any pune it action against special counsel robert mueller. >> this could be used as evidence as to whether the president obstructed justice.
8:01 am
>> are the republicans saying this is a bombshell report? what are they saying? >> it's another example that the lengths of the senior level of the mp will have the final word when he closes at the world economic forum. he will make clear he supports open market and free trade. >> the michigan state board of trustees will meet and hundreds of students are expected to protest. for many, they're not enough. >> some optimistic news, did you hear this? yesterday north korea suggested they would like to reunite with south korea. >> why not. >> yeah. i think something's up because today south korea gave north korea its netflix password. i'm norah o'donnell with
8:02 am
gayle king and john dickerson. president trump is about to speak, closing the world economic forum in switzerland. he'll promote his economic policies and ask for internation international. its sources say mr. trump ordered special counsel robert mueller to be fired back in june. the president reportedly backed down only after white house counsel don mcgahn threatened to resign. this morning president trump called that story fak ne news. he said on wednesday he's looking forward to speaking with the special counsel. presidential attorney john dowd is expressing cooperation with the investigation. he said more than 20 white house employees have beenterviewed. the trump campaign also turned more than 1.4 million pages of documents to mueller's team. only on "ng,"democratic senator of new jersey is with us from capitol hill. he's a member of the senate judiciary committee, which is
8:03 am
investigating russian interference in the 2016 election. senator, good morning. let's start with this report about the president. so he was worried about a conflict of interest, but the fact is he didn't fire mueller, so why is this a big deal? >> well, it's a big deal because that effort or that thought about doing so would really plunge our country into a constitutional crisis. to fire the special prosecutor, especially after the fact pattern we're seeing about the firing of the fbi director really presents a problem for our nation as a whole to have an unaccountable president undermining -- actively undermining an ongoing investigation into hisministrat where a number of close allies and associates have already faced indictment, have already faced serious levels of investigation. >> go ahead, john. >> he didn't do anything. you at one point had worked with lindsey graham to protect
8:04 am
counsel. are you going to put forward legislation that would do that? >> we've been persist ten on our efforts. we've had a lot of bipartisan support for it. even chuck grassley would hold a hearing on the legislation. the reality is we're in a situation where should the president fire the special prosecutor, we have no checks and balance on his power. it's something i think would be needed in future generations so there would be an independent overview of the president's power to remove a special prosecutor. and you have to understand, right now there's no check. there's no presidential accountability. and we believe that should lie with the judiciary. so we have a president who has shown his tendencies to do things in what i believe are authoritarian and anti-democratic manner, and we need to make sure we ensure what the founders of our nation
8:05 am
design, a series of checks and balances so the power of the presidency doesn't really undermine the sanctity in many ways of the republican. that the president himself is not above the law. >> one of the things, too, he was apparently concerned about was a possible conflict of interest because robert mueller, he says, and james comey are friends. does he have a point? >> no. what you have seen, we're hearing now that the president had intended to fire the special prosecutor. in addition to that, we've seen a great pattern amongst republicans, especially house republicans as well as the white house to try to undermine the integrity of someone that when they were announced, there was unanimity. in fact, there was a quieting that happened in congress because of the respect of this person. and yet we've seen these persistent attacks to try to undermine the credibility, try to undermine the work, and that to me is unacceptable. this is somebody who has shown not only their ability and capacity to do this
8:06 am
investigation in an independent way with consistent integrity, but to do so, again, also shakes people's faith in our institutions. and so we should let the special prosecutor do their job and we should preserve their independence by putting in checks and balances like the legislation proposed by me and lindsey graham. >> it seems the president is going to go along and talk with special counsel, so maybe that threat has passed. let me ask you about immigration, senator. the president has put forth a bill increasing the number of d.r.e.a.m.ers who can stay in the united states. why not take that? >> again, most of us would take that if it stood alone, that we have a pathway to citizenship for these folks who are american citizens in every single way except for a piece of paper. they've served in our military, pledged allegiance to the flag, taught in our schools, they're entrepreneurs, created jobs. what's offensive about the president's proposal, he wants to put tens of billions of
8:07 am
dollars at the time the country is screaming for investment for security with do not believe we need. this is money for a 19th century technology when we could spend less to protect our borders. there's not a senator in congress who doesn't want secure borders, but the way this president is going about it seems to be more about a campaign promise and campaign rhetoric than what's best to secure this country. and to use, d.r.e.a.m.ers, again, fellow americans in every way except for a piece of paper -- >> do you want to -- >> i want to finish my sentence tochl use them as a political pawn right now is to me reprehensible when everyone knows these kids right now are suffering, they're in severe anxiety that's upending their education and their work. doim want to back myself into -- use this moment to negotiate this out, but i know the current proposal and the idea of billions of dollars for a wall is unacceptable to me. >> senator booker, thank you so much for joining us.
8:08 am
>> thank you. immigration will be a big topic in president trump's state of the union address. the three of us will be part of cbs news coverage along with jeff glor and our team in washington. it begins tuesday night, 9:00 p.m. eastern, 8:00 p.m. central right here on cbs. senator tammy duckworth will become the first senator to give birth while in office. earlier this week she announced she's expecting her second child. she's almost seven months now and is due in spring. she lost both arms on the war in iraq and spoke with nancy cordes on sunday's "face the nation" about her troubles to conceive. >> it was a lot of trouble to conceive an i game. it took three years and an ivf. but this baby, i had multiple miscarriages. i want to be honest because i know there are so many families struggling with infertility issues. and as more women deal with infertility issues and try to
8:09 am

a remarkable trial nearly 06 years in the making unfolded in texas. prosecutors said it took so lodge to bring feit to court because he was covering up his crime. richard schlesinger has the story of a young murder nobody could forget. here's a preview. >> this is a case about betrayal, murder, and a coverup, and you're going to find out that the man who did this is john feit. >> reporter: prosecutor mike garza is not part of irene garza's family, but the story of her 1960 murder has been part of the history of mcallen, texas,
8:17 am
for generations. >> it's a legend about a girl that went to confession, you know, and never left. >> reporter: irene was accomplish and admired. she went to college, graduate school, and became a school teacher. swhenlt to church regularly, and that's where she was last seen. following a massive search, her body was discovered in a canal. she had been beaten, sexually assaulted, and suffocated. police had grown suspicious of the 27-year-old priest when he said a viewfinder found at the crime scene was his. feit also gave different accounts about that night and he had some injuries from the night irene disappeared. >> scratches that ran vertically down his hands on the top of his arms. >> reporter: despite the evidence, the case grew cold. years passed. there were rumors that some type of deal had been made between the church and authorities.
8:18 am
but there was never definitive proof until now, says the prosecutor. >> the state calls darrell davis. >> reporter: he's one of the key witnesses. he was the television reporter at the time of irene's murder and he says there was an off-the-record meeting with the then d.a., robert lattimore. >> he said we know that john feit killed irene garza, and the church knows he k garza. the church is going to put him in a monastery for disturbed or troubled priests, and he'll be kept there for the rest of his life. >> you won't hear evidence of corruption. what you will hear is lack of probable cause. >> reporter: defense attorney rene flores believes john feit was never prosecuted because of a lack of evidence, not a conspiracy. >> is there any evidence of dna?
8:19 am
the evidence will show no. there wasn't enough evidence then. there won't be enough evidence now. >> mr. schlesinger joins us at the table. good morning. you see that little old guy sitting at the table and i think it would be hard for the jury the make that connection. >> i think that's what the prosecution is worried about. if you look at him, he looks like everybody's grandfather and they're trying to paint him as a horrible killer. what's the newest evidence. >> there's a letter they found in a stack of documents they didn't expect to find which the prosecution is calling a smoking gun. it proves the conspiracy between the church and the authorities at the time to cover this whole thing up, get this guy out of town, and move on. >> did he end up in a monastery? >> he did. he ended up in a series of monasteries. we'll talk about that, of course, in the stories tomorrow. they sort of shuffled him around as the practice was back then. >> but he got married, right?
8:20 am
>> he got married, had kids, is grandfather. again, you look at him, and it's hard to see him. >> i bet the garza family doesn't feel like that about him. >> they do not. that's the part of this story, they've been stuck with this for almost 60 years. thank you very much, richard. you can see richard's full report. it's called "sins of the father." tomorrow night right here on cbs. hollywood stars are getting lots of attention perhaps for all the wrong reasons. ahead, can you watch the photoshop fail? here's a hint. count the number of reese witherspoon's legs and how many hajds does oprah have? how the teacher brought music back to a school that was missing for 30 years. you're watching "cbs this morning."

8:32 am
force the change that we've been fighting for 20 years to do. so it was really important for me. my platform is really foc youth development. u.s. soccer has $150 million i t it back to the youth in america, and so it'seally become this spark here in america that's dedicated to the rich white kid and we're excluding so many potential great youth players. >> you were not one of the rich white kids as you point out in your platform, that yowl would have been one of the kids that would have been excluded. you say you want to make it affordable and accessible. what does that mean? >> u.s. soccer's mission statement is to make sock ter preeminent sport here in the united states. we can't do that unless we make it accessful and affordable for every young kid in america. right now it's business first over progress at the heart of the federation, and we have to go back to really making soccer
8:33 am
a beautiful culture here in america. and in order to do that, we have to invite people to play. we cannot exclude them. >> what does that mean in practical terms? i'm a parent. i have the money to buy all the equipment. is that what it is? >> the costs for young kids are continuing grow. it costs between $5,000 to $11,000 for year per young kid in travel expenses just for registration fees. and most kids can't afford it anymore. so it really has to be addressed and it doesn't hafner in any other country. and all the rest of the world is better at soccer. so they are allowing the young kids to play without having these excessive fees. >> hope, you are running to lead an organization that terminated your contract. do you have the internal support to win? >> i have a great amount of support through the state associations, through youth soccer, through adult soccer. there are a number of different

8:35 am
important they do the same. >> hope, just quickly, when we met on "60 minutes" and women trying to get equal pay, do they yet? >> we have not. there's a new contract between the women's team and the federation and it is still not equal. unfortunately the federation tries to convolute it to the general public by saying, well, it's equitable. but what does equitable mean? that's the same thing as equal. we're still not there yet. that's not part of my platform, gender equality. >> so madam president has a nice ring to you. >> thank you. >> all right. we'll be following. >> thank you very much. the recording academy just named the winner o thf year's grammy educator music award, but her students tell michelle miller she's always been their champion. >> you could never meet a person
