in otherso processing disorder. the agent explains the procedure, and pats down his backside, front and legs. the supervisor then instructs the man to complete the final step. as per policy, the tsa uses the back of his hands for pat-downs over sensitive areas of his body. the tsa says the boy cooperated during the screening process. and all approved procedures were followed. as for a wait time, in a statement, the agency says the passengers were at the checkpoint for approximately 45 minutes, which included the time it took to discuss screening procedures with the mother, and to screen three carry-on items that prior required further inspection. >> he said i don't know why they did this. i don't know what i did wrong. and to me, that was a sign of trauma for him to think he had done anything wrong. >> reporter: the new procedures were put

news." welcome to overnight news. i'm don dahler. president trump is taking action on another campaign promise. this one aimed at erasing former president obama's legacy on climate change. president trump signed an executive order reversing obama-era regulations on coal and oil industries. as a candidate, mr. trump called climate change a hoax. the white house says the president believes it's real. but the new policy is about jobs and boosting energy production. here's major garrett. >> i am taking steps to lift the restriction on government energy and to cancel job-killing regulations.

the first step of erasing rules from coal-fired power plants and easing restrictions on new coal mines. >> my administration is putting an end to the war on coal. >> reporter: industry workers joined mr. trump for the event. >> that means you're going back to work. >> reporter: coal mining accounts for roughly 50,000 jobs in america. down from its peak of 180,000 in 1985. automation and the ability of natural gas from fracturing has made coal production less competitive. >> we're here to announce the single-most important step america has ever taken in the fight against global climate change. >> reporter: when president

plan mr. trump is now reversing, mr. obama cited the need to s a threat to our future and future generations. >> reporter: president trump called the climate change a hoax. and his e.p.s. administrator scott pruitt denied a direct link between carbon monoxide and global warming. >> i would not agree that it's a primary contributor to the global warming we see. a cloud of suspicion over the russian interference in the 2016 election. some say that the white house committee chairman cannot longer be trusted to look into ties of the trump team. here's jeff pegues. >> reporter: house speaker ryan says he has full confidence that congressman nunes can conduct a fair and credible investigation. but pressure is building on the congressman to explain his actions and reveal his source. >> there was no sneaking aro

i walked on to the grounds, said hi to peop tuesday to review classified documents. >> i needed a place to go and find this information and review it. >> reporter: the congressman wouldn't reveal his source. but says there is evidence that agencies under the obama administration had intercepted communications involving members of the trump transition team. but he dismissed allegations that president obama wiretapped trump tower. >> that never happened. >> reporter: nearly a week after nunes briefed the president, ranking member adam schiff says the congressman has yet to share the intelligence with other members of the house committee he leads. >> it's not just an unwillingness to share with democrats. none of the committee members, democrats or republicans, have seen what the chairman is referring to. >> reporter: schiff thinks the chairman should recuse himself from the investigation. >> cin

that i don't reach lightly. ave tten to this point. >> reporter: democrats are accusing nunes of trying to shield the president in the investigation and whether his campaign team coordinated with russian operatives. >> chairman nunes is falling down on the job and seems to be more interested in protecting the president than in seeking the truth. >> reporter: in another surprise move, late last week, congressman nunes announced he was bringing back fbi director comey and nsa director rogers to steph, this time in a closed hearing. that was supposed to happen today. but that hearing has been canceled. a mother in texas is outraged over how the tsa handled the security screening of her young son. she says agents went way too far at dallas-ft. worth international airport. she posted a video of the pat-down on facebook. omar has that. >> reporter: the tsa says that

the procedure performed by that agent on video was part of the standard pat-down that went into effect earlier this month. in stead of variations, there's just one full-body pat-down. that touched a nerve with a mother who went through security through dfw here on sunday, with her son. >> we were treated with utter disrespect, as if we were criminals. >> reporter: jennifer williamson turned her anger into action, sunday, recording a tsa officer patting down her 13-year-old son at dallas international airport and posted it on facebook. >> i believe he was patted down excessively. they went over his sensitive areas a little more than necessary, given he wasn't wearing bulky clothing or anything like that. >> reporter: williamson said the whole thing started when agents found a laptop in his book bag as it went through the scanning machine. they said her son would have to submit to a pat-down, even though he did not set off the body scanner.

she requested they screen him in other ways because he suffers from sensory processing disorder. the agent explains the procedure, and pats down his backside, front and legs. the supervisor then instructs the man to complete the final step. as per policy, the tsa uses the back of his hands for pat-downs over sensitive areas of his body. the tsa says the boy cooperated during the screening process. and all approved procedures were followed. as for a wait time, in a statement, the agency says the passengers were at the checkpoint for approximately 45 minutes, which included the time it took to discuss screening procedures with the mother, and to screen three carry-on items that required further inspection. >> his first question to me was, i don't know why they did this. i don't know what i did wrong. and to me, hat was a sign of trauma for him to think he had done anything wrong. >> reporter: the new procedures were put in ac

audit found there were serious security lapses. williamson has filed a complaint with the tsa but has not heard back. "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

>> it's a program that's failed to meet its stated mission. >> reporter: lindsay burke is the director of education policy for the heritage foundation. a conservative thinktank based in washington, d.c. >> beyond the evidence of the program or the lack of evidence, about its effectiveness, we have to ask whether this is appropriately housed at the federal level. and is it really appropriate for the federal government to be funding after-school programs? and i think that the answer to that question is no. >> reporter: 21st century community learning centers were created in 1994, under president bill clinton. then, expanded in 2001 under president george w. bush. it serves more than 2 million people on an annual budget of $1.2 billion. $550,000 of that goes to the plainfield new jersey district.

federal funding that drops to zero in president trump's current budget proposal. is there any way the district could fund this program without the federal dollars? >> it would be challenging. of course, we can look to, wright and obtain grant funding opportunities. but that is not a guarantee. and sacrificing the healthy and very important learning experiences for children, it just doesn't seem worth it to me. the new wall street statue of a fearless girl staring down the iconic charging bull will stand its ground for a year. the temporary statue has become a major tourist attraction. but the artist behind the bull is seeing red. saying it changes his work. >> reporter: for decades, this 7,000-pound bull has dominated lower manhattan by itself. but since march 8th, it to
