it is the crown jewel of super tuesday. texas has alone almost 15% of the delegates you need to be the republican nominee. john kasich noted he alone is within the margin of error in a race against trump in ohio. but kasich is the governor of ohio. now, in an effort to slow trump down, there are increasing calls to see his past tax returns. scott, mitt romney whose own wealth became an issue during his 2012 campaign said today "we have good reason to believe there is a bombshell in donald trump's taxes." >> trump just tweeted that romney's tax returns made him look like a fool. dean reynolds in nevada for us tonight. dean, thank you. the next contest for the democrats is south carolina. that's on saturday. and here's nancy cordes. >> struggling in south carolina,

and 33% in nevada. >> you often say you want to create the kind of political revolution that president obama couldn't. its the fact that turnout is lower a sign that that revolution isn't happening. >> no, a sign that barack obama ran unprecedented brilliant campaign in 2008. we have come a long way. we are in the lead in some national polls. i think we have made real progress. >> reporter: the reason sanders wants high turnout its because it would signify that younger voters who typically bag him are flocking to the polls. but, scott, older voters have always been more reliable voters. and in nevada for instance, seniors went for clinton by full 50 points. >> nancy cordes in south carolina. thank you. today a kennedy cousin went back to court hoping to clear his name in a murder that was committed four decades ago. peter van sant of "48 hours" was there.

michael skakel's attorney, herbert santos told the connecticut supreme court who he believes killed 15-year-old martha moxley. >> the evidence lead to the inescapable conclusion that the probable killer was tommy skakel. now my client doesn't really want me to say that. it is his brother. >> dorothy moxley is martha's mother. >> i am sure that michael is the young man who swung the golf club. there is no doubt in my mind about that. >> reporter: moxley was found bludgeoned to death with a 6 iron in a wealthy enclave of greenwich, connecticut, in october, 1975. tommy skakel was the last person to be seen with moxley. it was a 25-year-old cold case, until a grand jury investigation led to the arrest of michael skakel. skakel its the nephew of ethel kennedy. bobby kennedy jr. is his cousin.

defenders. >> i know michael skakel. i know he didn't commit the crime. >> reporter: skakel convicted in 2002, release on bail after 11 years when an appeals court ordered a new trial. finding his defense attorney made major mistakes. but state prosecutor susan gill disagrees. >> this was far from a slipshod defense. this was a well-planned, well thought out, professional defense. >> do you have any comment from today's proceedings? >> no. >> reporter: leaving court, skakel refused to speak. but bobby kennedy jr. who sat with him during the hearing did. >> he didn't get a fair trial. he is not guilty. >> reporter: we were unable to reach michael's brother, tommy skakel for a comment. but years ago he denied having anything to do with moxley, moxley's murder. and, scott, the defense attorney says he expects a ruling from

society says results of studies on a possible link between talcum powder or talc and ovarian cancer have been mixed. some reported a slightly increased risk. others no increase. dr. daniel cramer of brigham and women's hospital in boston was an expert for the plaintiff. >> i have done several different case control studies of ovarian cancer. all included information on talc. all of them have found an elevated risk for ovarian cancer associated with talc use. >> reporter: during trial, fox's lawyers presented this document from 1997. in which one of johnson & johnson's consultants noted studies showed significant association between high genic talc use and ovarian cancer. marvin salter is jacqueline fox's son. >> her whole fight was not just for her but so many other women. >> reporter: johnson & johnson

that, you know is going to have any lasting effect. >> reporter: clinton wased ask again whether she would release transcripts of her wall street speeches. >> why is there one standard for me and not for everybody else? i mean? everybody should be on a level playing field. sanders was asked if he would be twielg level the -- twielg level the playing field. >> i am very happy to release all of my paid speeches to wall street. here it, chris, there a none. >> in a state where african-americans make up a majority of the democratic electorate, sanders accused the republican front-runner of racism. >> the birther issue from donald trump, and others, a racist effort to try to delegitimize the president of the united states. can you imagine that. >> you're making the right choice. >> earlier clinton appeared at an emotional gathering in a columbia church. >> shot 14 times. >> she was joined by mothers of five victims of gun violence

or police brutality, whose support she cultivated for months including the mother of sandra bland. >> i am very angry. but i am not angry enough to riot, i'm angry enough to vote for this lady. >> the mother of trayvon martin. >> we have the opportunity off have somebody that will stand up for us as african-americans, for us as women. i say my vote goes to hillary clinton. >> those five women are taking that message all across the state doing multiple events throughout the day. without hillary clinton and getting huge crowds. senator sanders is spending most of the week outside of south carolina in super tuesday states where he thinks he has a better chance of winning. the republicans, donald trump is on a roll heading into super tuesday voting. the republican presidential front-runner made it three out of four with the landslide

[ cheers and applause ] i'm really happy about that. >> trump rejected the notion he has a ceiling of support and laughed at conservatives who are calculating how he could lose. >> and if you could add them up, because the other candidates amount to 55%. if they could just add, they keep forgetting that when people drop out we are going to get a lot of votes. >> reporter: long lines pointed to a big turnout for trump. exit polls showed 60% of caucus voters said they were angry at

the republican national committee did call the process controlled chaos. in fact, the ballot was a little confusing with voters being allowed to choose from among 11 candidates. six of whom are no longer running for president. marco rubio says he remains confident of his chances despite another second place showing. rubio discussed the race with charlie, gail, and nora for cbs this morning. >> important to take a deep breath. first of all the republican nomination is decided by delegates. 1200 delegates. we are nowhere near that number. you need to have. nowhere near that number of people who have yet filed, much less being able to win them. nd that sense the votes that are happening now, all states are awarding delegates. not based on how many states you win. based on how many delegates you picked up. he does have delegate advantage. it is not overwhelming. plenty of states out there. winner take all category, if you within them you more than catch up. what nee

race needs to continue to narrow. donald trump, for example, he underperformed mitt romney in nevada. four years ago, mitt romney got over 50% of the vote there. shows a significant number of republicans even in nevada who are not, did not want donald trump to be their nominee. it is divided among four people. >> mr. rubio, you yet to beat him. including the latest poll in florida shows you are not even beating him in your own home state. at what point, what state do you think you are going to be the one to trump donald trump. >> we'll win in florida. now that governor bush is no longer in the race. we split up sat part in florida. that will help us. going into next week, we feel great about every state on the map. there has to be coalescing here. the process began after south carolina. it will continue. after our second place showing in nevada. we're in michigan all ready. here for a rally. headed to houston, texas, debate to

we feel great about the work and what it will lead to when the process plays out. >> senator, the issues before the republican people, ones you have debated. one of your opponents. senator cruz this week said that he would have federal agents knock on the doors to find those who are in this country illegally. would you follow that? >> yeah, that its a change of position for him. now under duress in the campaign. trying to change his positions once again to appeal, i suppose and win votes. bottom line is i don't think this country support and i do not military style tactics. i do think there are going to be people deported. people deported now. if you are here illegally. you have deportation order. if you are a dangerous criminal. that is going to happen. i've don't think this country is going to support or pursue military style roundup of people in america. we need to secure our border, bring illegal immigration under control. en

[ applause ] its ranks have been thinned. president seth blatter suspended. general secretary fired. and five current executive committee members facing criminal charges. some nervous delegates may decide to skip the event given what happened the last time they got together in may. authorities swooped in and made arrests here and on three different continents. acting at the behest of the u.s. justice department, attorney general loretta lynch. >> they were expected to uphold the rules that keep soccer honest and to protect the integrity of the game. instead, they corrupted the business of worldwide soccer to serve their interests and to enrich themselves. fifa's main job is to organize and run the biggest sporting event on earth. the world cup. a month-long tournament of national teams, the generates billions and billions of dollars

every four years. it's like the olympics only bigger. the honor of hosting the games can alter a nation's fortunes and the competition is intense. it is fifa's executive committee that decides where the world cup will be held and how the billions will be divided. according to the indictment, that's where the corruption comes in. how did the racketeering enterprise work? >> the allegations are that it was all about selection. choosing where events would be held. choosing who got the rights to broadcast. it was -- those key choices which were very lucrative off to the recipients that created the power. >> john baretta used to run the u.s. attorney's office in the eastern district of new york with a specialty in the mafia. he was used to names like genevese and gambino and had never heard of fifa until the case ended on his desk. he knew how the game was played. you want this? you got to pay me? >> those are definitely the allegation

>> you've got to pay me $10 million. >> man millions in many instances alleged not just for low-level tournaments. the world cup itself. >> you are talking about shakedowns? >> absolutely. >> according to the indictment, that $10 million bribe was paid by the government of south africa to help secure the 2010 world cup. the money, originally disguised as a charitable contribution, ended up in the bank account controlled by former fifa vice president jack warner, a trinidadian who ran the north american central american and caribbean confederation of fifa. which was headquartered in new york. he its current leap fighting extradition to the u.s. warner is one of 25 fifa officials named in the indictments.

as for the bribes, there are too many to go into here. the biggest was $150 million paid by a sports marketing firm for contracts to sell broadcasting rights. then there were the smaller tips. a stack of envelopes filled with $40,000 in cash. from an executive committee member from qatar who was buying votes in a fifa election. qatar has a high profile at fifa right now and ape source of some embarrassment. the fifa world cup is qatar. qataris were happy. but most thought an odd choice. it made fifa the butt of international jokes. >> some fifa executives took bribes to put the world cup in qatar. i help that's true. otherwise makes no sense. >> not just that the routine temperatures top 120 degrees in the summer or a dismal right record.

they have no soccer tradition and it would seem very few fans. games there are often played in empty stadium. fifa ignored its own internal security report which warned of a high risk for terrorism. maybe the executive committee was impressed with the dazzling multimedia, virtual reality vision, of what the qatar world cup would look like in 2022. right now this is all just a mirage. most people who follow international soccer aren't surprise by all of this. the chicanery at fifa an open secret because of this man. a freelance reporter. harping about it more than a decade. >> it is the biggest scandal ever in world sport. nothing like it. how did you get into this? were you a soccer fa

>> definitely not. good luck to people who enjoy it. i am a crime reporter. that's it. it is there. no doubts about it. . >> reporter: jennings who had broken big stories and the international olympic committee. was asked to take a look at fifa. he couldn't believe his luck. >> i did start thinking. ape few bad apples. a few more. my goodness, who isn't. so bribery was standard operating procedures at all level of fifa. >> there does come a time that you don't really get upset. it's another drieb. because there are so many. in fact, a way of operating. how they went on with the business. >> when he began asking rude questions at fifa news conferences a dozen years ago he was exiled to the parking lot. for years his colleagues in the

gadfly. he turned out right. and eventually people started paying attention. he landed a gig with the bbc, launching kamikazee attacks on the likes of fifa president, seth blatter. >> do you know which footballers took bribes from the -- >> the aforementioned fifa vice president, jack warner. [ indiscernible ] >> if you could spit on me you would spit on me? >> jennings received vindication in 2009, when the fbi asked for his help and invited him to london to meet with their agents. >> i shuffled down to london. went into the room. three immaculately dressed, perfect manners. business cards said they did organized crime. at that point we were in. you can see the full story of fifa on our website,
