it's sold. >> this is the "cbs overnight news." >> welcome to the overnight news, i'm jeff glor. he has made news on and off-screen for decades but this may have been his biggest role yet. now he's hearing the critics' reviews. sean penn's secret meeting with the world's most wanted drug lord. joaquin chapo guzman. authorities say that meeting which took place while penn was on assignment played a role in el chapo being recaptured on friday. we begin with meg oliver. >> reporter: it's an unassuming backdrop for an interview with the most notorious drug kingpin in the world, the first he has given in decades. the questions come from the cameraman. they're written by actor sean penn who met el chapo for seven hours in october deep in the jungle, convinced chapo to send this tape soon afterward. during the 17-minute recording,
3:02 am
responsible for so many drugs in the world? guzman says, no that is false, because the day i don't exist it's not going to decrease 97 way at all. as for drug trafficking, that's false. the interview is a remarkable twist in an already convoluted tale. it was just two days ago mexican authorities raided this seaside hotel and arrested chapo after a long gunfight. then paraded him in front of the cameras, perhaps to soften their embarrassment over his escape from prison last july. the attorney general said it was actors and producers who led them to the fugitive. joaquin guzman had the intention of making a biographical film so he reached out to producers. but this long article penn wrote for "rolling stone," posted on "rolling stone's" website, revealed he may have been one of the actors. the other was mexican actress kate del castillo, who tweeted support for guzman in the past, and who brokered the meeting last october.
3:03 am
took. two flights, a 90-minute ride, a bumpy seven-hour drive through the jungle. finally there he is right beside the truck, the world's most famous fugitive, el chapo. during their conversation penn says guzman proudly acknowledged his business, saying, i supply more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana than anybody else in the world. penn writes he was sure he was being tracked by the government and says just hours after their meeting, law enforcement raided the hideout and guzman had to flee. he agreed to tape an interview later if penn sent questions by blackberry. in the tape sent back to penn guzman defends his work saying, where i grew up there was no other way and there still isn't a way to survive. no other way to work on our economy, to be able to make a living. the interpreter also asked, are you prone to violence or do you use it as a last resort? guzman responds, look, all i do is defend myself, nothing more.
3:04 am
never. mexican authorities would of course disagree. it is believed guzman is responsible for more than 30,000 deaths. now they're working on starting the extradition process but say they haven't taken a position on sean penn. >> meg oliver, thank you. let's bring in cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman. good to see you. sean penn is obviously facing some public ridicule. this is the guy who's met with individuals or states who are hostile to the u.s., hugo chavez, raul castro in cuba, went to iran a decade ago. he faces that public ridicule he is unlikely to face legal repercussions, why is that? >> not only unlikely, he is not going to face legal repercussions. the reason is simple. we may believe in a moral code that says if you see something, say something. but that's not a duty imposed by law. there is no duty for sean penn
3:05 am
when he is going to go meet even with someone who is wanted by the law. if it were a reporter who got this interview, who got to go on a plane and even was blindfolded, which penn was not, and brought in the dead of night and got to get this interview? that reporter would have no duty to have to tell the authorities either. >> let's talk about joaquin guzman. the issue of extradition came up before. mexico resisted, did not want to send him back to the u.s. they seem more amenable to that now. why is that and how might that process play out? >> they are more amenable now probably because they're embarrassed about his escapes, and that is plural, that have happened in the past. and that it appears they wanted to try him to prove in mexico that they could keep him but they weren't able to keep him recently. now it seems from everything we get to hear that mexico is more amenable to having him extradited to the united states.
3:06 am
extradition is a long process. it may take six months or more. he has good lawyers or i assume he does, the best that money can buy. and those lawyers are going to fight extradition. but he'll be here. he'll be tried. >> he faces charges in seven states, charges ranging from? >> seven federal jurisdictions. so it's all under the federal umbrella. they're all through the department of justice. these charges show what this cartel was up to. they were bringing into the united states drugs in the most remarkable numbers. we have heroin, we have cocaine, we have marijuana, we have methamphetamine. but they came in by boats and planes and trains and submersibles. what you have here is one of the largest operations of drug distribution that has ever come into this country. what else? money laundering. kidnapping. violence. this is probably the greatest defendant in terms of public

3:28 am
secretary of state. one of them is drawing extra attention. >> reporter: republicans argue the newly released e-mail proves former secretary of state knowingly shared sensitive information on her private account. in an exchange from 2011 a top aide alerts clinton that staffers are having issues sending her some talking points via secure fax. clinton responds, if they can't, turn into nonpaper. in other words, an e-mail. with no identifying heading and send nonsecure. the topic and sensitivity of the talking points aren't clear. that part is redacted. still, the republican chair of the senate judiciary committee called the exchange disturbing and called for a criminal inquiry. the clinton campaign told cbs news, it is false that hillary clinton asked for classified material to be sent over a nonsecure system." the exchange was among 2,900 pages of clinton's e-mails released by the state
3:29 am
just this week the state department's own internal watchdog said the agency's responses to questions about clinton's e-mails have been inaccurate and incomplete. state department officials insist they don't have the resources to keep up with all the requests they get from the public and the media. john dickerson discussed the latest e-mail controversy with clinton on "face the nation." >> this week another batch of your e-mails were released by the state department. one of them is a back and forth between you and a staffer about a secure fax that wouldn't come through. and you directed him to "turn into nonpaper with no identifying heading and send nonsecure." aren't you ordering him to violate the laws on handling classified material there? >> no, not at all. and as the state department said just this week, that did not happen. and it never would have happened. because that's just not the way i treated classified information.
3:30 am
notices. so oftentimes we're trying to get the best information we can and obviously what i'm asking for is whatever can be transmitted if it doesn't come through secure, to be transmitted on the unclassified system. so, no, there is nothing to been talked about in the last year. >> so in no instance -- what's striking about that particular e-mail, it suggests you were very facile with how to do this, this process. you knew the instructions how to get around the restriction for sending classified information. you're saying there was never an instance, any other instance in which you did not? >> no. and it wasn't sent. so i think this is another instance where what is common practice, namely, look, i need information, i had some points i had to make, and i was waiting for a secure fax that could give me the whole picture. but oftentimes there's a lot of
3:31 am
classified. so whatever information can be appropriately transmitted, unclassified, often was. that's true for every agency in the government and everybody who does business with the government. but the important point here is i had great confidence because i'd worked with jake sullivan for years, he is the most meticulous, careful person you could possibly do business with. and he knew exactly what was and wasn't appropriate. and in fact, as the state department has said, there was no transmission of any classified information. so it's another effort by people looking for something to throw against the wall, as you said in the beginning of the program, to see what sticks. but there's no there there. >> this one is a little different since the fbi is investigating this specific question of whether a classification was meddled with. let me ask you about another e-mail in this batch which was one in which you seemed to express surprise somebody e-mailed on their nonstate

region into the u.s. >> this is the kind of threat that keeps me up at night. >> reporter: on capitol hill, house homeland security chairman michael mccall said the two men may have been radicalized after they came to the u.s. >> how many ticking time bombs are we going to bring in in this refugee program without a proper vetting system in place? >> reporter: on the campaign trail, republican presidential candidate ted cruz echoed those concerns. the texas senator brought up the two arrests at stops across iowa on friday. >> president obama's proposing bringing tens of thousands of syrian refugees to america even though the fbi says we cannot vet those refugees to determine whether or not they are isis terrorists. >> reporter: and donald trump, who has called for a ban on muslims entering the country, also weighed in. >> we're not going to let people come in from syria that we never saw before, that we have no idea where they are. they could be isis. >> reporter: according to u.s. intelligence officials, more

3:37 am
terrorist organization? >> he wouldn't say that, and we don't know. he certainly doesn't strike me as a guy who has intelligence around him. stopping just short of implicating himself too much or anyone else. >> reporter: cbs has learned the fbi is investigating two overseas trips archer made to cairo in 2011 and saudi arabia in 2012. archer's arrest record includes aggravated assault, weapons charges, and terroristic threats in 2012. in that case he was accused of pointing a gun at a man. in 2013, he was arrested again on an illegal gun possession charge. at the home where police say archer lived with his mother, no one answered the door. the two people who arrived later said they had no comment. the officer is in the hospital tonight recovering from a broken arm and nerve damage. adolf hitler's memoir "mein kampf" is on sale in germany for the first time since world war ii.
3:38 am
the report from our london bureau. >> reporter: the nuremberg rallies of the 1930s were for many the first glimpse of hitler's nazi germany. his anti-semitic tirades divided the country. long before the atrocities of the holocaust and the millions of jews murdered history had an outline. hitler's "mein kampf," or "my struggle," his 1920s manifesto that paved the way. the nazis printed at least 10 million copies. they were sold widely and handed out by the government to newlyweds and soldiers. 1945 when hitler died and world war ii ended the allies handed the copyright to the bavarian government, who stopped the presses. 75 years later that copyright has expired and "mein kampf" is back in german bookstores for the first time. it's a chapter in history some who lived through it hoped would stay closed. this latest printing has some key additions to the original
3:39 am
the german government would only allow an annotated version with academic analysis of the text. "this edition exposes the false information spread by hitler, his downright lies, and his many half-truths," said this professor, director of germany's institute for contemporary history, the book's publisher. scholars also say the reprint will demystify hitler by exposing just how bad a writer he was. >> it's a waffle. it's a rant. it's unstructured. it is unreadable. i think making that open and showing that to potentially interested students is a good thing. >> reporter: the publishing house behind the new edition says they can't keep up with the demand. controversy, it appears, sells books. reaction has been mixed in israel. >> it's complicated. on the one hand, i'm not thrilled about the fact that "mein kampf" can now are in even wider dissemination around the world, given the hateful content
3:40 am
but on the other hand, it's kind of impossible to control speech. and i'm not even sure that we should. >> reporter: hitler's original "mein kampf" is already sold widely in countries outside of germany and online. scholars say far from being a fascist bible, the new version offers crucial context that exposes a horrific past so history can't repeat itself. a political mystery is being written in hong kong where five people who either publish or sell books critical of china's communist government have disappeared. the latest to vanish owned a bookstore. seth doane has the story from hong kong. >> reporter: since hong kong was handed over from british to chinese rule in 1997 it has retained some of its autonomy, notably its own legal system and freedom of speech. now with the case of those missing booksellers and word of an investigation on the mainland, some worry those freedoms may be under threat. sandwiched between a pharmacy

3:51 am
the questions are asked are you responsible for so many drugs in the world? guzman says no, that is false us bass the day i don't exist it's not going to decrease in any way at all. as for drug trafficking, that's false. the interview is a remarkable twist in an already convoluted tale. it was just two days ago mexican authorities raided this seaside hotel and arrested chapo after a long gunfight. then paraded him in front of the cameras, perhaps to soften their embarrassment over his escape from prison last july. the attorney general said it was actors and producers who led them to the fugitive. joaquin guzman had the intention of making a buy grooskal film so he reached out to producers. but this long article penn wrote for "rolling stone," posted on "rolling stone's" website, revealed he may have been one of the actors. the other was mexican actress kate del castillo, who tweeted support for guzman in the past,
