today at uso.org. major garrett joins us now from the white house. the president said today most people would have taken that meeting with the russian lawyer, is that the consensus >> reporter: anthony, consensus in our divided country is probably elusive, but the president's own nominee to lead the f.b.i., christopher wray, appears to disagree. here is wray yesterday before the senate judiciary committee. >> to the members of this committee, any threat or effort to interfere with our elections from any nation state or any non-state actor is the kind of thing the f.b.i. would want to know. >> reporter: we've also learned the senate intelligence committee will request documents from trump, jr., and jared kushner about that meeting, and it wants to interview, as you

trump campaign who had contact with russians. >> mason: major, the president talked to reporters aboard "air force one" last night, and did not rule out inviting vladimir putin to the white house. what exactly did he say? >> reporter: indeed. he said at some point in the future he will invite president putin to the white house, just not now. he said this political moment is too hot, but he said to rule it out completely would be, in the president's words, "stupid." >> mason: he also talked about design for the wall on the southern border. what did he reveal if anything? >> he revealed that he's serious about placing solar panels on that wall, and he wants it to be in his words "transparent." let me quote from the president directly as to why.

2:13 am
will move that sanctions bill. >> reporter: as much as that's an issue right now, and to me that's become too much of an issue as to what our real job is. if we're more concentrating on the russians interfering with our elections as opposed to the russians interfering with our economy right now and us turning away from our real job of getting people back to work, seeing wages rise again, seeing families be able to be together >> but congressman, the russians attacked our elections, we need to respond to the russians, and we need to do the work you're talking about on the economy. we need to do both. we don't need to come here week after week after week and do nothing. senate republicans today rolled out a retooled healthcare plan. nancy cordes tells us it's already in critical condition. >> how do you feel about the bill, senator? >> reporter: the response from republican hold-outs... >> talk to folks at home... >> reporter: ...to their party's plan "b" was cautious at best. >> we'll read it over the weekend and come up with a decision and see ier

2:43 am
general lynch now maybe that's wrong i just heard that a while ago so surprised to hear that so she was hear because of lynch. so again, i have a son who is a great young man. he's a fine person. he took a meeting from a lawyer from russia. it lasted for a very short period and nothing came of the meeting. and i think it's a meeting that most people in politics probably would have taken. >> there are new concerns about a rare cancer possibly linked to breast implants. last year nearly 300,000 women opted for breast augmentation surgery. most suffered few problems. but a report by the fda links this rare cancer to implants in 157 1 and 31 patients i spoke to one of the patients. >> she was shocked to find a

2:45 am
implants to limit the movement of an implant. 15% are textured. fda says most women who developed lymphoma 203 of 231 received around textured implant. >> why is that do you know? >> so we know it's something triggering the limb pomo lympho to an allergic reaction in these patients and it stimulates part it's of their immune system and in certain patients developed into lymphoma. >> there are three breast manufacturers in the u.s. >> how big of a potential problem pr or otherwise is this lymphoma for a breast

this is the "cbs evening news." there is breaking news in the search for four young men missing near philadelphia. a lawyer for 20-year-old 20-year-old cosmo dinardo says he's admitted killing them and has told investigators where to find the bodies. demarco morgan is at the pennsylvania farm where remains of at least one victim were buried. >> reporter: 20-year-old cosmo dinardo as he was being escorted by deputies apologized for his role in the deaths of the four missing men. >> i'm sorry. >> reporter: dinardo's attorney, paul lane, says his client made a startling confession. >> he admitted to being part of or actually committing murder? >> of all four. >> yes. >> reporter: law enforcement says dinardo suffers from schizophrenia and will now face murder charges. yesterday he was arrested on charges that he tried to sell the car of tom meo for $500 a

>> zero happened from the meeting. >> reporter: the president came to paris at the invitation of french president emmanuel macron, to whom he gave a lift home in the presidential limo. the invitation was offered to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the entry of american troops into the first world war. that began a century of u.s. involvement in european affairs, a policy many in europe feel president trump is retreating from. the hope is this visit might cement what seemed to be a fractious relationship between the two presidents that began with that who-lets-go-first white-knuckle handshake at their first meeting. at his guest's discomfort, though, president macron took the diplomatic high road. >> i will not interfere with u.s. domestic policy, and i think it's always good between partners and allies not interfere in the other's domestic life. >> what a good answer that is. >> reporter: the answers the president ov

american academy of dermatology major garrett joins us now from the white house. the president said today most people would have taken that meeting with the russian lawyer, is that the consensus >> reporter: anthony, consensus in our divided country is probably elusive, but the president's own nominee to lead the f.b.i., christopher wray, appears to disagree. here is wray yesterday before the senate judiciary committee. >> to the members of this committee, any threat or effort to interfere with our elections from any nation state or any non-state actor is the kind of thing the f.b.i. would want to know. >> reporter: we've also learned the senate intelligence committee will request documents from trump, jr., and jared kushner about that meeting, and
3:11 am
it wants to interview, as you might expect, anyone in the trump campaign who had contact with russians. >> mason: major, the president talked to reporters aboard "air force one" last night, and did not rule out inviting vladimir putin to the white house. what exactly did he say? >> reporter: indeed. he said at some point in the future he will invite president putin to the white house, just not now. he said this political moment is too hot, but he said to rule it out completely would be, in the president's words, "stupid." >> mason: he also talked about design for the wall on the southern border. what did he reveal if anything? >> he revealed that he's serious about placing solar panels on that wall, and he wants it to be in his words "transparent." let me quote from the president directly as to why. "when they throw large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don't see them. they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff. it's over." the house has drafted a spending bill providior

wall. there's a long, long way to go before it gets to the president's desk, but mr. trump says he's encouraged. anthony? >> mason: major garrett at the white house. thank you, major. russian meddling in the 2016 election was one of the hot- button issues taken up by members of congress in a discussion with cbs news contributor frank luntz. six republicans and six democrats. >> i got this briefing, what they call the gang of eight, last october, on the russian meddling in our elections. it was not a gray area. it was very black and white, clear and convincing, it was happening. and we will have a sanctions bill against russia on the floor of the house i hope in the very, very near future. >> reporter: so how many of you agree with what the chairman just said, raise your hands? so we have... on russia we have bipartisanship? >> well, the only person who disagrees with the chairman is the president. and while he disagrees with it, he's running down nato, he's running down the european union, and putin couldn't ask for a better friend th t
3:13 am
so i really hope that you guys will move that sanctions bill. >> reporter: as much as that's an issue right now, and to me that's become too much of an issue as to what our real job is. if we're more concentrating on the russians interfering with our elections as opposed to the russians interfering with our economy right now and us turning away from our real job of getting people back to work, seeing wages rise again, seeing families be able to be together >> but congressman, the russians attacked our elections, we need to respond to the russians, and we need to do the work you're talking about on the economy. we need to do both. we don't need to come here week after week after week and do nothing. senate republicans today rolled out a retooled healthcare plan. nancy cordes tells us it's already in critical condition. >> how do you feel about the bill, senator? >> reporter: the response from republican hold-outs... >> talk to folks at home... >> reporter: ...to their party's plan "b" was cautiat

about this meeting. >> first i believe we will have a great fbi director. i think he's doing really well and we're very proud of that choice. think i've done a great service to the country by choosing him. he will make us all proud and i think some day we'll see that. and hopefully some day soon. so we're very proud of him. as far as my son is concerned. my son is a wonderful young man. he took a meeting with a russian lawyer. not a government lawyer but a russian lawyer. it was a short meeting, a meeting that went very, very quickly, very fast, two other people in the room, one left almost immediately the other was not really focused on the meeting. i do think this from a practical standpoint most people would have taken that meeting.
3:42 am
it's called opposition research or research into our opponent. i've only in politics for two years, but i've had many people call up, "oh, gee, we have information on this factor or this person, or frankly, hillary." that's very standard. in politics it's very standard where they have information and you take the information. in the case of don he listened. they talked about adoption and things. adoption wasn't even part of the campaign. but nothing happened from the meeting. zero happened from the meeting and honestly i think the press made a very big deal over something that really a lot of people would do now the lawyer who went to the meeting was in the halls of congress also. somebody said that her visa or passport to come into the country was approved by attorney general lynch now maybe that's
3:43 am
wrong i just heard that a while ago so surprised to hear that so she was hear because of lynch. so again, i have a son who is a great young man. he's a fine person. he took a meeting from a lawyer from russia. it lasted for a very short period and nothing came of the meeting. and i think it's a meeting that most people in politics probably would have taken. >> there are new concerns about a rare cancer possibly linked to breast implants. last year nearly 300,000 women opted for breast augmentation surgery. most suffered few problems. but a report by the fda links this rare cancer to implants in 1 and 31 patients i spoke to one woman who ended up fighting the disease and also her insurance company. k

tumor under her arm. >> i could feel a mass the size of an egg to a lemon. it was very large. >> then she learned it was cancer possibly connected to the cosmetic breast implants she had put in 17 years ago. >> i was never informed that i could possibly get cancer. basically they said they are 100% safe. >> it's called breast implant associated anaplasia large cell lymphoma that could develop following breast implants something doctors at md. anderson cancer center in houston have been studying for five years. >> this is a type of lymphoma it is a cancer that develops in the scar tissue around breast implants. >> breast implants come with a smooth or textured outer surface. surgeons use these textured implants to limit the movement
3:45 am
of a breast implant. even though just about 15% are textured. fda says most women who developed lymphoma 203 of 231 cases that identified the type of surface received textured implant. >> why is that do you know? >> so we know it's something triggering the lymphoma is a chronic long lasting inflammatory state akin to an allergic reaction in these patients and it stimulates part it's of their immune system and in certain patients developed into lymphoma. >> there are three breast manufacturers in the u.s. >> how big of a potential problem pr or otherwise is this lymphoma for a breast implant manufacturer? >> we are taking it very seriously
3:46 am
there's education. >> in particular telling doctors and patients that the cancer has a high cure rate often simply taking the implants out. >> it's rare and also very treatable as long as it is caught and implants removed. >> the risk is low but nine women have died and national cancer treatment guide line says anyone who gets the lymphoma should have her implants removed as soon as possible. but insurance companies don't always agree to pay. kim roger says her insurer blue shield blue cross montana three times denied removal of her implants telling her it was contract exclusion because her implants were cosmetic. >> i was furious. the first line of defense was to remove the source. the source was still in my body.
3:47 am
decided to help with the removal not reconstruction. they said they do cover cosmetic procedures but for this type of lymphoma the company would not happen what happened in rogers case. but dr. clemens say. >> we can't wait months or years until an insurance company says we're going to cover it. >> these women could die. >> that's correct. >> rogers says she's continuing to fight for full insurance coverage on behalf of other women. >> i want to be the leader of the pack and for all the women behind me i want them not to do this battle that i'm doing. >> rogers says the cost of her removal and reconstruction could be up to $12,000. now for the other two manufacturers mentor told us
