hillary clinton accused mr. trump of not paying any federal income taxes. the president's son, donald jr., wrote, the new disclosure proved how successful donald trump is and that he paid $40 million in taxes. but the document does not explain how the president earned his income or if he paid taxes at similar rates in other years. in january, then-president-elect trump balked at calls to release his tax returns, something all presidents have done since the 1970s. >> well, i'm not releasing the tax returns because, as you know, they're under audit. you know, the only ones that care about my tax returns are the reporters, okay. they're the only ones. >> reporter: of the another topic, a judge in hawaii has issued a temporary restraining order blocking key parts to the president's revived travel ban. the white house press secretary says the white house has no comment. >> major, thanks. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

that's pretty affordable, huh? that's less than the cost of a postage stamp. so, you said it was guaranteed acceptance? yes. it's for people ages 50 to 85. there's no medical exam or health questions. you can't be turned down because of your health. it fit right into mom's budget and gave her added peace of mind. you should give them a call man: are you between the ages of 50 and 85? for less than 35 cents a day, you can get guaranteed acceptance life insurance through the colonial penn program. you cannot be turned down because of your health. there are no health questions or medical exam. your rate will never go up and your benefit will never go down due to age-- guaranteed! these days, the average cost of a funeral is over $7300, and social security pays a death benefit of just $255. don't leave a burden for yoloved ones. call about the colonial penn program now.

carcinogenic and damaging to d.n.a. in human cells. >> they cherry pick data. >> reporter: last summer we spoke with dr. donna farmer, a monsanto scientist. >> there is no data indicating we should change how the product is used. the data is clear, glyphosate doesn't cause cancer. >> reporter: but now the data is in question. newly released court documents suggest that monsanto planned to ghost write a positive report on glyphosate and get experts to back it up. a scientist wrote in an email, "we would keep the cost down by us doing the writing and they would edit and sign their name." court documents also reveal conversations between a federal director about a federal glyphosate review. "i doubt epa can kill this," the monsanto executive wrote, "but it's good to know they're going to make the effort." in a statement, monsanto says these allegations are false. monsanto scientists did not ghost write the paper, reiterating, no regulatory body in the world considers glyphosate to be a carcinogen.

hired one of the world's best-known hackers, alexsey belan, to do most of the work. from 2014 to 2016, court papers say belan and his team used computer code to infiltrate yahoo's database, stealing user names, emails, and passwords. they used that information to access the accounts of russian journalists and politicians, as well as u.s. government officials, including military and white house personnel. belan also used 30 million accounts to facilitate a spam scheme that netted him money. in all, 500 million accounts, half of yahoo's total of one billion, were compromised. acting assistant attorney general mary mccord -- >> we will not allow individuals, groups, nation states or a combination of them to compromise the privacy of our citizens, the economic interests of our companies, or the security of our country. >> reporter: but the hackers were able to go unnoticed because the agents, dokuchaev and sushkin, may have been familiar with u.s. cyber strategy.

>> this is the "cbs overnight news." president trump broke his silence today on his accusation that he was wiretapped during the campaign last year by president obama. mr. trump still did not provide any evidence, only a cryptic suggestion that something might be coming out in the next few weeks. but the republican head of the house committee investigating the president's claim minced no words about what the panel has turned up -- nothing. here's congressional correspondent nancy cordes. >> i don't think there was an actual tap of trump tower. >> reporter: house intelligence chairman devin nunes typically toes the party line, but today he concluded that president trump's explosive accusation has no merit. >> are you going to take the tweets literally? and if you are, then clearly the president was wrong. >> reporter: his comments came after 11 days of white house insistence that the commander-in-chief was serious when he tweeted, "just found out o

officers dmitry dokuchaev and igor sushkin financed and directed the cyber attack and hired one of the world's best-known hackers, alexsey belan, to do most of the work. from 2014 to 2016, court papers say belan and his team used computer code to infiltrate yahoo's database, stealing user names, emails, and passwords. they used that information to access the accounts of russian journalists and politicians, as well as u.s. government officials, including military and white house personnel. belan also used 30 million accounts to facilitate a spam scheme that netted him money. in all, 500 million accounts, half of yahoo's total of one billion, were compromised. acting assistant attorney general mary mccord -- >> we will not allow individuals, groups, nation states or a combination of them to compromise the privacy of our citizens, the economic interests of our companies, or the

security of our country. >> reporter: but the hackers were able to go unnoticed because the agents, dokuchaev and sushkin, may have been familiar with u.s. cyber strategy. prosecutors say both worked at "center 18," the fbi's russian contact for cyber investigations. robert cattanach is a former federal prosecutor. >> they pretend to be collaborating with us to try to do something about the spread of cybercrime in russia, and come to find out, they're fostering it. >> reporter: a canadian who was allegedly part of the operation is in custody. anthony, according to russian media, dokuchaev, one of the fsb officers, was arrested earlier this year by russian authorities and jailed for treason. >> jeff pegues, thanks, jeff. we finally got a look today at one of the trump tax returns the president refuses to release. someone leaked it. here's major garrett. >> it's cenl

>> reporter: during the presidential campaign, democrat hillary clinton accused mr. trump of not paying any federal income taxes. the president's son, donald jr., wrote, the new disclosure proved how successful donald trump is and that he paid $40 million in taxes. but the document does not explain how the president earned his income or if he paid taxes at similar rates in other years. in january, then-president-elect trump balked at calls to release his tax returns, something all presidents have done since the 1970s. >> well, i'm not releasing the tax returns because, as you know, they're under audit. you know, the only ones that care about my tax returns are the reporters, okay. they're the only ones. >> reporter: on another topic, a judge in hawaii has issued a temporary restraining order blocking key parts to the president's revised travel ban. the white house press secretary says the white house has no comment. >> major, thanks. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

>> this is a parent's nightmare, to have to bury a child. >> it is, especially when he is six months old. >> reporter: the city says the 911 system was jammed by what's referred to as ghost calls from t-mobile users. they are calls made to 911 unintentionally and unknown to the caller, and then appear on a dispatcher's screen as hangups. by law, dispatchers have to call those numbers back, which bottlenecks the system. dallas has been dealing with the problem since november. mayor mike rawlings -- >> i want the problem solved immediately. and if it takes a longer period of time, i want to know why. >> reporter: in a statement, t-mobile says company engineers have been working daily to find a permanent solution to this problem. >> i want them to take responsibility of my son's death. there's nothing they can say. there's nothing they can do to bring my branden back.
