been under investigation. >> how do you know? >> because we've received no notice of investigation. there's been no notification from the special counsel's office that the president is under investigation. in fact, to the contrary. what we know is what james comey said, the last thing we know when he testified just a couple weeks back, that the president was not and is not a target of an investigation. >> of course there have been events since james comey told them that. but is it your view, and just to educate viewers, that if he were under investigation there would be an obligation for the special counsel to let you know? couldn't you be under investigation and they're just not letting you know yet? >> well, look, i can't imagine a scenario where the president would not be aware of it. number one, there's a serious constitutional issue here. i want you to think about the context upon which this would take place. under the "washington post's" theory of the case. this is the "washington post" theory. that the president of the united states after being advised by his attorney general and the office of the deputy attorney general determined to remove james

directorship. if the "washington post" leaks were correct, the president of the united states would be, if this was correct, under investigation for taking the action that the department of justice asked him to take. that raises not only -- it's not a serious constitutional question. it's an easy constitutional question. that's impossible. the president cannot be investigated, or certainly cannot be found liable for engaging in an activity that he clearly has powers to downeder the constitution. we're also following reports of a terror attack in mali. gunmen stormed a resort popular with with everyoners near the capital city of famako. local officials say there have been at least two casualties. security officers are on the scene, and at least 32 geflts have been rescued. and more than 60 people were killed, many of them in their cars, trying to escape raging forest fires in central portugal. the fires broke out this weekend during a severe heat wave. the latest now from jonathan vigliotti in our london bureau. >> reporter: demarco, portugal's

story. through cross-examination, though, the defense is able to show that she did certain things that might be inconsistent with what she said on the witness stand. those are the things that sometimes give jurors significant pause. >> reporter: jurors were unable to reach a unanimous vote in the case in which accuser andrew constand, a former temple university employee, claimed cosby, once known as america's tv dad, drugged and sexually assaulted her at his home in 2004. >> it's an old case. many years ago. raises questions about why there was a delay in the prosecution. and fundamentally, i think what the defense was able to do quas was to call into question ms. constand's contact with mr. cosby after the alleged sexual assault, why would you continue to have contacts with the person who assaulted you? >> this is about andrea constand and inconsistencies in her story. >> reporter: cosby spokesman andrew wyatt. >> mr.

"you're just making it harder on yourself by pushing it off. you just have to do it." but it was actually this text from carter to a friend, sam vordman, sent two months after roy's death, that sealed her fate. "sam, his death is my fault. like honestly, i could have stopped him. i was on the phone with him. and he got out of the car because it was working and he got scared, and i told him to get back in." the judge focused in particular on those last three words. get back in. >> this court finds that instructing mr. roy to get back in the truck constituted wanton

but yes. in the beginning i was like this is a great opportunity. >> reporter: she bought 13 alpac alpacas, deducted the entire 50,000-plus sales price from her income taxes and instantly dropped her state property taxes from 18,000 a year to 1,000. >> $17,000 just because you put alpacas on the property. that's very good. >> yes. i can tell you for a fact that when i got into it i think there were people that simply got into it for that. >> reporter: a cousin of llamas and native to peru, alpacas arrived in america in the 1980s. under the current tax code they're considered livestock like sheep or cattle. >> some are a drain on the treasury, and i would put this in that category, yes. >> reporter: arizona's jeff flake in a report called "outlandish tax brackets, loopholes t

congressman steve scalise has been upgraded from critical to serious after being shot on a baseball field last week. the shooting united congress at least for a short time. and steve hartman has an idea on how to keep that feeling going. >> reporter: this past week some people tried to turn the baseball shooting into a political football. blaming one party or the other for the violence. normally, you'd expect congress to join in the mudslinging. but they threw out a curveball at thursday's game. the way they greeted each other. the way they prayed together at second base. tragedy can have that effect on people. but you know, baseball helps too. it's hard not to be a good sport
2:58 am
pastime. in fact, i would argue that everything congress needs to know to fix our political acrimony they already learned in little league. in little league they teach you that losers don't whine, winners don't gloat. and you don't question a call based on the umpire's heritage. these things are no-brainers to young minds. but for some reason we forget those life lessons in our later innings. so why bother teaching kids good sportsmanship if we're just going to cast it aside as adu s adults? and why celebrate that baseball game if the mutual respect we pintsed was a mirage that will just fade as soon as the infield death settles? that's my fear. that monday we'll be right back where we were. unless we try something new. or in this case something old. the post-game handshake is the bedrock of little league. kids do it after every game all the way through college. it stops in the pros. but for no good
2:59 am
so here's my idea. after every session of congress, after every state of the union both parties should line up as they did thursday night, just to say good job or thanks for being here. >> you don't have to change your positions. you don't even have to compromise. all you have to do is reach across the aisle with an open hand and show some civility. we like what we saw last week. we'd like to see more. so congress, next time the gavel lands please consider walking over to thank your so-called adversaries for serving the country you all so love. just because you're in the big leagues doesn't mean you can't act like a little leaguer. >> that's the overnight news for this monday. for some of you the news continues. for others you can check back with us a little later. for the morning muse and of course "cbs this morning." from the broadcast center in new york city, i'm demamo

york city, i'm demarco morgan. >> announcer: this is the cbs overnight news. hi, everyone, and welcome to the overnight news. i'm demarco morgan. the bodies of american sailors killed in a crash at sea off the coast of japan have been found. seven crew members from the "uss fitzgerald" had been missing since the navy destroyer was hit by a cargo ship about four times its size. it happened early saturday morning local time. bodies were found today in a flooded sleeping area. japan's prime minister sent president trump a note expressing his sorrow and condolences. we get more now from ben tracy in beijing. >> reporter: when navy divers were able to get inside the destroyed compartment of the "uss fitzgerald" they found what they had feared.
3:31 am
collision or the flooding that followed. >> my focus is on the families, the grieving family members, the crew, and the friends of the "uss fitzgerald." >> reporter: vice admiral joseph aucoin heads the u.s. 7th fleet based in japan. he called the damage to the fitzgerald significant and the impact traumatic. in the middle of the night it collided with a container ship more than three times its size. aucoin says it was the heroic efforts of the crew that saved the fitzgerald from potentially sinking with 300 sailors on board. >> you can't see most of the damage. the damage is mostly underneath the water line and it's a large gash. >> reporter: in addition the navy sailors who lost their lives, three others had to be airlifted off the ship by the japanese coast guard. they are said to be responsive, including the ship's commander bryce benson. his compartment was destroyed in the collision, and navy says he is lucky to be alive. the navy will now launch an investigation into what caused this collision. while it did happen in the dark

of night they routinely have watch teams on board to make sure this kind of thing does not happen. they say the ship is salvageable and the head of the seventh fleet says they will sail again. >> ben tracy from beijing. there's breaking news from syria tonight. a u.s. fighter jet shot down a syrian plane after it dropped bombs on coalition-backed fighters. military officials say the syrian plane was shot down "in accordance with the rules of engagement and in collective self-defense of coalition partners." president trump spent father's day weekend with his family at the presidential retreat, camp david in maryland. he's returning to washington amid new questions about the russia investigation. errol barnett is at the white house. >> reporter: in a tweet two days ago president trump announced he's under investigation. today one of the president's lawyers refuted that. >> there's been no notification from the special counsel's office that the president is under investigation. >> reporter: jay sekulow, a member of president trump's legal team, said the president's
3:33 am
was a reaction. >> this was his response via twitter, via social media, was in response to the "washington post" piece with five anonymous sources. >> reporter: the "washington post's" white house bureau chief pushed back. >> the president is indeed under investigation. that it is an investigation into his potential obstruction of justice. in addition to a number of other issues related to the russia matter. >> bob mueller's investigation is only getting started. >> reporter: adam schiff, the ranking democrat on the house intelligence committee, fears the administration is undermining special counsel robert mueller. >> the president wants to take down bob mueller. his lawyer wants to take down bob mueller. and the question is why? and i think the answer is they want to lay the foundation to discredit whatever bob mueller comes up with. >> reporter: still, republicans like senate intelligence committee member marco rubio support ongoing probes. >> i think it's in the best interest of ow country that we have a full-scale investigation
3:34 am
we can move forward. >> reporter: the president returned today from camp david after spending the weekend there with his family. and this morning assured his twitter followers his agenda is doing very well despite what he calls the witch hunt. now, on the possible existence of recordings between the president and ousted fbi director james comey, president trump's lawyer today said he expects it will be addressed by mr. trump in the week ahead. demarco? >> errol barnett at the white house. as you heard, one of president trump's lawyers insists he cannot be under investigation because he hasn't been notified. here's more of john dickerson's interview with jay sekulow. >> the fact of the matter is the president has not been and is not under investigation. so this was his response via twitter, via social media, was in response to the "washington post" piece with five anonymous sources. and by the way, john, five anonymous sources rkz, they don't even identify the agencies upon which these individuals reportedly work.
3:35 am
and i want to be very clear about this. the president is not and has not been under investigation. >> how do you know? >> because we've received no notice of investigation. there's been no notification from the special counsel's office that the president is under investigation. in fact, to the contrary. what we know is what james comey said, the last thing we know when he testified just a couple weeks back, that the president was not and is not a target of an investigation. >> of course there have been events since james comey told them that. but is it your view, and just to educate viewers, that if he were under investigation there would be an obligation for the special counsel to let you know? couldn't you be under investigation and they're just not letting you know yet? >> well, look, i can't imagine a scenario where the president would not be aware of it. number one, there's a serious constitutional issue here. i want you to think about the context upon which this would take place. under the "washington post's" theory of the case. this is the "washington post" eo
3:36 am
that the president of the united states after being advised by his attorney general and the office of the deputy attorney general determined to remove james comey from the fbi directorship. if the "washington post" leaks were correct, the president of the united states would be, if this was correct, under investigation for taking the action that the department of justice asked him to take. that raises not only -- it's not a serious constitutional question. it's an easy constitutional question. that's impossible. the president cannot be investigated, or certainly cannot be found liable for engaging in an activity that he clearly has powers to do under the constitution. we're also following reports of a terror attack in mali. gunmen stormed a resort popular with westerners near the capital city of bamako. local officials say there have been at least two casualties. security officers are on the scene, and at least 32 guests have been rescued. and more than 60 people were killed, many of them in their cars, trying to escape raging forest fires in central portugal. the fires broke out this weekend during a severe heat wave. the latest now from jonathan vigliotti in our london bureau.
3:37 am
>> reporter: demarco, portugal's secretary of state has called it the deadliest forest fire in the nation's history. many of the victims were found in their cars, apparently trapped when strong winds blew flames over a busy motorway. the fire began saturday in the mountainous area of pedrogao grande. the region has been in the middle of an intense heat wave, accompanied by rainless thunderstorms. it's a deadly combination. police believe the fire was sparked after lightning struck a tree. the flames then quickly spread in the dry conditions and burnt through several neighborhoods, destroying homes. this afternoon the fire was still raging on four fronts with over 700 firefighters deployed to battle the flames. the portuguese government has also dispatched two army battalions to assist emergency services while spain has sent two water-bombing planes to help its neighbor contain the fire. portugal now has declared three days of national mourning to pay tribute to the victi

3:41 am
through cross-examination, though, the defense is able to show that she did certain things that might be inconsistent with what she said on the witness stand. those are the things that sometimes give jurors significant pause. >> reporter: jurors were unable to reach a unanimous vote in the case in which accuser andrew constand, a former temple university employee, claimed cosby, once known as america's tv dad, drugged and sexually assaulted her at his home in 2004. >> it's an old case. many years ago. raises questions about why there was a delay in the prosecution. and fundamentally, i think what the defense was able to do was to call into question ms. constand's contact with mr. cosby after the alleged sexual assault, why would you continue to have contacts with the person who assaulted you? >> this is about andrea constand and inconsistencies in her story. >> reporter: cosby spokesman andrew wyatt. >> mr. cosby's power is back. it's back.

3:43 am
was it criminal wrong? was it just immoral? you know, it divides people. but he's now got to face perhaps the rest of his life in prison. that's a difficult situation. but that's where we are at this point. >> reporter: this is erin moriarty. this past week 20-year-old michelle carter was convicted in a massachusetts courtroom not so much for what she did but for what she said. >> this court, having reviewed the evidece and applied the law thereto, now finds you guilty. >> reporter: carter and her attorneys looked shocked as judge lawrence monez found her guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of her friend, conrad roy. he died in a kmart parking lot nearly three years ago from carbon monoxide poisoning. the judge found that a barrage of text messages and phone calls

"i'm just confused. like you were so ready and determined." "i'm gonna eventually." "you're just making it harder on yourself by pushing it off. you just have to do it." but it was actually this text from carter to a friend, sam vordman, sent two months after roy's death, that sealed her fate. "sam, his death is my fault. like honestly, i could have stopped him. i was on the phone with him. and he got out of the car because it was working and he got scared, and i told him to get back in." the judge focused in particular on those last three words. get back in. >> this court finds that instructing mr. roy to get back in the truck constituted wanton and reckless conduct by miss carter, creating a situati
