by surprise by the president's tweets. >> as i said before the national security team was part of the conversation. >> what about this one smaller issue, not a whole ban. >> right. when the president made the decision yesterday, the secretary of defense was immediately informed as were with the rhett of the national security team. that had been part of this ongoing conversations. >> but you can't answer the question to what's going to happen to the transgender in the military now. shouldn't you have been able to answer the basic question with the policy of this magnitude. >> sometimes you have to make a decision and once you make a decision he didn't feel it necessary to hold that decision and he's going to work with the office of defense to make decision on it. >> sanders offered no time line on when the policy will go into effect. anthony scaramucci's financial disclosure form ar

website. the document showed his assets are worth as much as $85 million. it also raises questions about potential conflicts of interest. scaramucci tweeted he'll be contacting the fbi and justice didn't. >> some observers thought it meant scaramucci blamed priebus for the exposure. later he deleted the tweet. he said if priebuss to explain he's not the leaker, he can point that out. here's something to point out. anybody that serves in the government whether you're a senator, a lawmaker, you're supposed to admit these because you're working for the taxpayers and you have to make sure. >> so it's not a leak. >> it's not a leak. it's public information requested. cbs's "face the nation" john

dickerson joins us. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> what do you make of the leaks at the white house? >> you know, like much in life, the tighter you squeeze on something, the less you may have. the problem with leak investigations in all past white houses is that it clamps down on people inside of the white house. it creates an atmosphere of a little bit of terror. you get rid of people who are leaking. you find yourself looking ore your shoulder. i'm talking harmless leaks, not national security leaks. harmless leaks are a process that doesn't work where people feel like they're noting with heard, where their opinions are being discarded, where things are happening to their colleagues that irritate them or seem like they're not fair and disloyal. that's hard to fix by clamping wn

are working for a common purpose. when they see it's about self-preservation or can make end runs around the process, then they like. so it's really harder to fix by just firing people or threatening to fire people. >> shouldn't we be clear. leaks about the policy is not illegal. >> no, it's not illegal. jimmy carter had a terrible problem with leaks and hiss staff threatened to do what scaramucci is doing. white houses need leaks. they need relationships with reporters to float things out there without making them official to take care of stories that may look bad but they need a conduit off the record.

again, as you pointed out, it's not illegal but just inconvenient. but here's another important thing. i've been reporting on health care. republicans working on health care are not talking about leaks from the white house. they're talking about things that have come out of the president's own mouth, disstrablting the agenda, what he said to the boy scouts or jeff sessions. why he's trying to lead him to the end of the gangplank there. those are not coming from leaks. >> how do you see that playing out considering the public drubbing that donald trump is giving ofever sessions in. >> in a sense it may be the way it's settled down. again, it's confusion how confused republicans are with regard to jeff sessions who wants them to do well with this kind of situation that's emerged. but jeff sessions had

looking into leaks. these are illegal leaks. he mentioned it in his congressional testimony. they actually charged something. this could be a way if the justy didn't does something the president could take an off ramp and say, now they're taking care of this thing, every egg's okay, and i'll move on. but that's if he really wants his attorney general to stay and we're not sure if that's the case. >> john's book "whistlestahistls in paper back. >> it's a very good read. we've interviewed john about the book. the toj announced this week it will withhold grant money from the cities unless they give immigration authorities access to jails. they want to know in advance when undocumented immigrants will be

barry petersen looks at both sights of this conversation. >> reporter: this was an arrest by i.c.e. agents at the front door of a courthouse. he was rustled into custody. he's since been deported. but showdowns like these, say denver officials, are a risk to public safety. denver's mayor michael hancock asked i.c.e. to stop making arrests at the city courthouse. >> we want people to trust the judicial system and we need them to show up. >> reporter: like schools, churches, and hospitals, he wants the courthouse as a sensitive location. i.c.e. refused his request. hancock says undocumented immigrants without any criminal history are now

courthouse. at least nine cases of domestic violence were dropped when victims said they refused to come to the courthouse for fear of's. >> when witnesses are not showing up to testify, now we cannot pursue the individuals who have person freighted the crime. how does that make us more safe. >> reporter: philip miller oversees criminal proceedings by i.c.e. he said denver isn't cooperating with i.c.e. because denver is not alerting the agency when it has a violator in custody, so i.c.e. agent check court appearance for records and the agents must go to the courthouse or homes and workplaces alt a much higher risk to themselves and the community. >> they're beaten

>> you feel it's avoidable. >> definitely. >> reporter: denver has gone a step further. those with minor traffic offenses are now allows to send in their plea by mail so they can avoid going to the courthouse. that's important says this man who was detained and face deed pore take after a minor traffic stop. he asked us not to use his name. he said in his community, frightened people now go out only when necessary like getting to work. >> a lot of community residents feel they need to go in hiding. >> you feel targeted. >> yes. >> i.c.e. says they're only doing their best to up hold the law. >> we're just doig our job. >> for "cbs this morning," barry

>> it varies. first describes by a scottish surgeon whose last name was bell. sometimes it takes two to three weeks or six months. when it goes down, the nerves start working in most cases. >> in this interview, she seems to think it was caused by stress. >> certainly when you're stressed, viruses can come out. you can get shing. s or a rekurchs of chicken pox when you're stressed. there may be an association. it's a pretty common disorder, bell's palsy. >> are there long-term effects? >> in a very small number of people the nerve won't regain its former function and things like bot you lie item toxin or surgery can help. in most cases there's full recovery. >> i have heard, too, stress is a big factor. are you saying stress is not the most common

palsy. we think it's a viral infection in the nerve coming from the skull. can it low ur your risk, potentially. >> david, this is off the wall but -- >> uh-oh. >> i know. i was listening to bbc radio and they were talking an medical journal in britain which said the idea of taking medicine and not taking all the pills, antibodies, for example, is no longer necessarily good advice. >> it's a big debate whether you should complete an entire course of antibiotics. say i prescribe you a week of a z-pak and after three or four days you're better, you do have to do the next three days. we had thought you want to kill all the bacteria and would get a resistance. in this case it's debatable, so there's debate
