7:03 am
information. yes, obviously. that's why he encrypted his commune kay with what they call e-mail. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" brought to you by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." charlie is off. jeff glor is not. you're here on your birthday. happy birthday. >> good to be here on my birthday. there now clear evidence that russia's government wanted to help elect donald trump. he was told in june of last year the russians wanted to provide information to hurt hillary clinton's campaign. >> rod goldstone said this is high-level and sensitive information but it's part of russia and government support r
7:04 am
>> trump responded if it's what you say, i love it. >> he talked at length last night about meeting with a russian lawyer that he said produced nothing. margaret brennan is at the white house where the president is defending his son. margaret, good morning. >> good morning. this is a major distraction for the trump white house. this morning he's defending his son, calling him open, transparent, and honest p and despite all these new revelations, he's continuing to call the russia story a political witch hunt. >> in retrospect, i probably would have done thing as little differently. again, this was before russia mania, before they were building up. >> on fox news he said meeting with russia lawyer natalia
7:05 am
the e-mails were skplis u. a friend rob goldstone wrote to him. he called it part of russia and government's support for mr. trump. he responded if it's what you say, i love it. it was shared with russian pop star emmening a emin agalarov. >> he sent me an e-mail. i can't help what they send me. >> it was such a nothing, there was nothing to tell. i wouldn't have even remembered it until you start scouring through the stuff. >> his attorney told cbs news someone was doing trump a favor by
7:06 am
on tuesday she disputed any kremlin ties telling the "associated press," i do not represent interests of anyone other than myself. a month after the meeting he condemned democrats. >> it goes tow sho you their exact moral compass. they'll say anything. it's time and time again. lie after lie. it's does gusting, so phony. >> attorneyshannen coffin. >> sure. it seems like he would do whatever he could to get his father elected, but there was no evidence he was doing so through illegal mean moose trump junior also copied paul manafort ands he brother-in-law jared kushner. both of them attended the meeting. that's raising new questions about kushner's
7:07 am
house. >> all right. another story we're foowing. ing that you very margaret. on capitol hill some republicans do not understand kwhie the president trump president's son waited so long to mention this meeting and the discussions leading up to it. >> the e-mail, we sdhoul have known about it before yesterday. >> the fact that we're knowing about this in july really disturbing. >> certainly another shoe that's dropped that needs to be pursued and looked at. >> many democrats including hillary clinton's running mate say the e-mails are the first real evidence of trump's campaign working with russia. >> nothing's proven yet, but we're now beyond obstruction of justice in terms of what's being investigated. this is moving into perjury, false statements, and even potentially treason. >> senate intelligence meetings say they now want to hear directly from donald trump jr. >> jay sekulow is an attorney for donald trump. good morning. >> good mo
7:08 am
thanks for having me. criminal law says it's a crime to donate money or interfere with an election. did he violate the law? >> he did not. there's no violation of the law, no illegality. the statute you're quoting from, the fcc statutes are not it. i'm not the only lawyer saying this. most legal scholars are saying this. if you look at the law as it was written, as it was applied, there's not a violation of the law. opposition research is not uncommon, even when the government aspect has raised a lot of interest. obviously we're talking about it this morning. but you have information that the ukrainian government was providing information to hillary clinton and the dnc. again, the question is was there
7:09 am
a violation of the law and the answer is no. >> would you agree it doesn't look good. he's meeting with a foreign person from russia who says, listen, i have some information that could help your dad's campaign. would you agree the on jekts on that do not look good? >> you're looking at atmospherics. let's put ourselves back to where we were in time. this is the middle of the presidency election of the united states. full battle. hundreds of meetings take placele teams working on both sides. 18-, 20-hour meetings. when you put it in that atmospheric, it was rather remarkable in that nothing transparent or illegal took place. you're asking an atmospheric question. remember, the discussion wasn't a significant q
7:10 am
time, the russian involvement. the other thing that seems to get lost in this and i said this before. all this concern about russia, all the reports have indicated that president obama was aware of russia's attempts at engagement, and they did nothing about it. so here you have a situation where what took place per those e-mails that were released was not a violation of the law, no illegality there. i think that's where as a lawyer, as the president's law e, that's what i have to look at. >> jay, we're not just talking about atmospherics herele we're talking ethics. there was a long discussion in trying o coordinate it. it wasn't just 20 minutes in one long day. there was a procession beforehand. >> look at the e-mail exchange. >> we did. >> okay. he put them out there. the fact is if you look at this rapid succession of e-mails that takes place over a number of days for a meeting that lasts 20 minutes. so what you have a
7:11 am
meeting, a meeting that takes place -- by the way, no information being exchanged. it ended up being about the ma gin ski act and the russian adoption that how to we know that? >> let me say something. i'm here for the president o the united states. that's why i'm here. i'm one of the president's lawyers. i want you to beware of something. the president was not in attendance at the meeting, present at the meeting, wasn't aware of the meeting. we didn't see the e-mail until you all saw it. >> can you clarify today are there any other meetings with russian officials that have not been disclosed? >> look. donald trump jr. said he could have met with a lot of other people. with us is congressman adam
7:12 am
schiff. he's the top democrat on the house committee which is also investigating russian interference in the last election. congressman, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> what are the next steps for your committee and what steps do you have for donald trump jr. today? >> i think the next step in terms of this issue is we're going to want to have all the participants who helped come and testify before the committee. we're going to want to see any documents, any e-mails. it looks like in listening to the president's son last night on fox and hearing his lawyer today that the defense is going to be, yes, we had an intent to collude with russia. we wanted to get the dirt they had. but we were deeply disappointed in not getting it at that meeting. that's not much of a defense. i think we need to look into whether there were any subsequent efforts, whether we n
7:13 am
of what happened at the meeting. because one thing we've seen over the last several days, we can't rely on anything donald trump jr. has to say about this because his story kept changing as he had to confront the facts coming out. >> let me ask you. there's a new report from ma clachy that says it helped guide fake attack news on hillary clinton. can you confirm that? what are you looking into? >> one of the erbs we need to explore is whether there was any help in terms of the fake news, the efforts to push negative news by the russians, whether there was any coordination in that effort to target that, to identify where it would be useful to push stories on people's social media feeds. i ooh not saying that's what took place. but the
7:14 am
vary ieite of methods. if there was some kpoenltd of this coordination that we need to look into to give you some sort of analogous piece of evidence here in those e-mails, it's very significant that donald trump jr. said, hey, it would be great to get this in the late summer. he's already talking about timing. if there's any coordination of the timing of negative stories or russian media controls, that's something we need to know. >> there's stuff about soliciting a foreign contribution or in kind contribution. does that raise to that level for you in. >> well, you know, i think this is evidence that goes to the issue of collusion. the question is it sufficient evidence, and i think we need to do a lot to corroborate evidence we receive before we
7:15 am
any conclusions. but here you have, quite plainly, in the four corners of the ecos of the authenticity that's been released, you have three central campaign people, indeed three of the most important people in the trump campaign, who go to this meeting to get help from the russian government and have sent a signal they would welcome itting love it, and they made the comment about the timing that would be most useful and, frankly, admitted how disappointed they were that in this particular meeting, they didn't get the dirt or help they wanted. was there a violation of the laws? that's something to be investigated. >> congressman adam schiff, thank you very much for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> christopher wray will face questions at senate judiciary confir
7:16 am
wray is likely to be asked about keeping things independent at the white house. members of an elite special operations unit were among 16 military members killed in a plane crash. the kc-130 went down in mississippi. they were based in camp lejeune in north carolina. they have identified one viv tim. he leaved behind a loves wife. >> the parents of a son who died in an alleged hazing incident spoke. he said yesterday, quote, these hearings have tried our patience. they're attempting to
7:17 am
timothy pea a zoe died last year following a fraternity event following heavy drinking. >> only five of the defense attorneys for penn state got a chance to question the prosecution's first witness. now, the other attorneys will have their chance next momtd in a two-day hearing process. remembering those hearings will determine the outcome of whether or not this case goes to trial. defense attorneys representing the bay the beta beta faye fra tert. it was known as the gauntlet. others argued their clients did not force piazza to drink. >> our primary concern is this is a case that's been clearly
7:18 am
overcharged. >> michael engel is representing gary dibileo. >> while garry may be responsible for certain things, he's not responsible for charges in this case. according to a statement dibileo and one other called for calling an ambulance. but they sate was typical of bid acceptance night. one of the texts said he looked expletive dead. >> the boys knew what he did. right after. before he passes away. they say it's because of the hazing, the drinking, we caused this. we should have called 911. >> cbs legal analyst rikki klieman. >> once you put those things in writing,

it is wednesday, july 12th, 2017. it's hump day. ahead, we'll talk with one of "the new york times" reporters who broke this story. plus the revolutionary cancer treatment that may clear an important hurdle today. but first here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> this is a major distraction for the trump white house. this morning president trump is defending his son. >> did donald trump jr. break the law? >> he did not. the meeting that took place, there was nothing illegal about it. there was not a violation of the law, no illegality. by the way, i'm not the
8:01 am
>> what questions do you have for donald trump jr.? >> we need to look into whether there was any subsequent efforts. one thing we havsee en, we can't rely on anything dew poialond t jr. has to say about this because his story keeps investigating. >> they're confident investigators are on the right track. >> this beach was in crisis. nine heads were bobbing in the world december pirates for help. they got it. >> "the new york times" published an explosive article claiming there were e-mails showing donald trump jr. was hoping to meet with russian officials. >> he forwarded it. the meeting happened. and now all hell has broken lewis. donald junior is like the guy at work who opens the obviously fake document and now everyone has a virus on their computer. >> announcer: this morning ice "eye opener" at 8:00 is
8:02 am
to you by liberty insurance. >> i'm norah o'donnell. charlie rose is off. they plan to review donald trump jr.'s e-mails. trump junior released the e-mails yesterday. they showed how to release damaging russian information regarding hillary clinton. >> rob goldstone e-mailed donald trump jr. last year regarding support for mr. trump. donald trump jr. responded with this. if it's what you say, i love it. the meeting with the russian attorney took place six days later. trump junior told fox news last night looking back he probably would have done things differently. he didn't tell his father about the meeting why he explained to it in the first place. >> if there's information you want it. then you make with it what you do withet. if there was something
8:03 am
dangerous to national security, i would turn it over. it turns out it was nothing. >> the president's son tweeted this morning his son was open, honest, and transparent. he said this was the greatest which hunt in history. he said he didn't think the e-mails were trouble but would be if he gave statements to law enforcement. she and her colleagues published a series of articles that broke the story of donald trump's meeting with the russian lawyer. good morning. >> good morning, thanks for having me. >> when "the new york times" first approached the white house about this four days ago, were they trance parent and forthcoming? >> look. their story has changed multiple times. first he said, well, the meeting was primarily about adoption. then when we came back to him and said, no, we talked to people who said it was also about getting dirt on hitry
8:04 am
was the case. then we came back to him and said we understand that it also involved a government effort. and final we came back to hum and said, we're going to publish these e-mail, content os these e-mails, and that's when he released. i guess it's up to your viewers to decide if he's transparent. >> you said he was going to public the story when and he tweeted the doubts when? >> at 11:00. >> a lot of the these came what jared kushner revise hiss statement about who he met with regarding security clearance. >> exactly. my colleagues in march revealed he had met with the russian ambassador of the united states and also the head of the russian state bank and we followed up and said not only had he met with them but that he hadn't disclosed it as required on security clearance forms. he has since revised his forms to include those
8:05 am
well as all of his foreign contacts, and it was on those forms that he disclosed that natalia veselnitskaya was one of the people he met with, although, he did not have to talk about what the contents were, and we started digging and digging. >> do we know if there might be more revisions? >> i think that they have -- they have submitted what they think is all of the context. it's important because, of course, jared kushner is in a unique position here. he's at the white house. he has to have security clearance. so failure to disclose willfully admitting something can land you in jail. >> the president has called this the greatest political witch hunt in history. what are you looking for? >> nobody has said this is fake news. donald trump jr. said he would do
8:06 am
myself have done a lot of reporting on hillary clinton, and i did a story on her -- the uranium one deal that the republicans have loved to talk about, so this is not a witch hunt. >> you have a russian pop star and his dad, a british entertainment publicist and tab reporter. what stands out to you in. >> it stands out it was obviously a sensitive thing and went through family and friends. trump is often -- basically this is one of the things about him. he's said to only really trust his family, so in one way it's not surprising. in another way, why would you put your family, your campaign manager in this kind of position. i think trey dowdy said last night, you know, gees -- at this point it's like
8:07 am
if you've got corruption contexts, get it out there. if you met with dr. zhivago, you need to get it out there and stop dribbling like this. >> there are many who say, is this the beginning of what were connections between the russian government and the trump campaign. >> yeah. i mean i think the fact that there have been multiple stories about this meeting sort of heightens people's interests and say why not say what this was at the outset of our reporting. i think that the line in the e-mails that is the most intriguing, of course, is the line where he says -- rob goldstone seas to donald trump jr. this is part of russia's effort to help. it raises the question of whether there were previous communications, communications after
8:08 am
of the russian government helping. >> one of the things when jared kushner has revived his disclosure forms with the federal government. very, very serious. you don't want to rely on these forms. to we know how many meetings jared kushner has had with russia government officials? >> we still don't know. things were described to us. but we to not know the entire list. i imagine that it's something that investigators at least mueller's people definitely have that and have access to it. i imagine congress going to want that too. >> so your investigation continues. >> absolutely. >> all right, jo becker. thank you very much. dockers may have a new way to fight some cancers. our d.cr.

gene to reprogram the cells to attack the cancer and it's sent back and infused, and about 80% of children go into children. it was first tried on a 6-year-old named emily and she's still cancer-free today. >> how are the healthy cells spared? >> they're literally at death's door. so in this case there's no other treatments, and they knock down her own healthy t-cells and put them back, the new cells that target the cancer. they also target some of the normal cells in the body. one of the things that's going to happen is the fda is going to say, what's the long-term ramifications? we only have a five-year with regard to emily. we don't have any further data. but since the benefits
8:16 am
outweigh the harm, it's probably going get fda asfloovl what about the harms and the cost? >> they're both two great questions. the harms are real. when you put in all these t-cells, the patients many times go into a significant distress syndrome. remember, this cancer is definitely lethal within weeks to months, so the side effects are real. the analysts are estimating it will cost $300,000 to $600,000. it's a one-time treatment but staggering costs. recurrent leukemia or leukemia that's not responding to treatment is rare with children. 90% is cured with conventional therapy, but in the other children, this is a life-saver >> it's amay amazing to see medicine advance. dr. agus, thanks for always jo

8:22 am
>> they prohibit the slowing or blocking of websites content while treating other sites differently but in may the republican-led fcc voted to start changing net neutrality rules. editor in chief nick thompson. good morning. give us a net knneutrality less and why it matters. >> it's the principle that all the information that flows over the pipes that come onto your computer. net neutrality is the principle that all that information has to be treated the same. so the companies that own the pipes can't say, you know what? we don't want that website to be fast. we want that one to be slow. and we don't like what that one is saying and we're going to stop it all together and maybe you'd like a tiered plan. it's a very important principle on the internet. >> who are the companies pushing
