3:03 am
today, the organization issued a written apology, "to those in our scouting family who were offended by the political rhetoric that was inserted into the jamboree." at the white house, in-fighting escalated. last night, newly appointed communications director anthony scaramucci implicated reince preibus, the chief of staff, as the source of leaked classified information about his finances, though it now appears that information is publicly available. but in an interview with "the new yorker" published late today, scaramucci said, "reince is an expliative, paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoic." scaramucci also went after white house advisor steve bannon with language more fit for the outhouse than the white house. igsz "i'm not steve bannon. i'm not trying to suck my own expletive. i'm not trying to build my own brand on the expletive strength of the president." we spoke to scaramucci a few moments ago, and he described the interview as a rookie
3:04 am
mistake, an unforced error of on-the-record candor. his sentiments will come as no surprise to priebus or bannon, longtime rivals who opposed his hiring. about that "the new yorker" interview, the white house had no comment. anthony. >> mason: major garrett at the white house, thanks. now let's bring in john dickerson, our chief washington correspondent and anchor of "face the nation." john, it feels a bit like a fist fight has broken out on the front lawn of the white house. >> reporter: that's right, or in some back alley somewhere. and all sort of sanctioned by the president. this is the new communications director the president has brought in, and he is speaking in extremely vulgar terms and with dripping contempt about two of the most senior people in the white house, suggesting-- and it's totally personal. this is not about some issue or some national issue that needs to be discussed. it's a totally personal fight. not heard over some hot mic, but in a conversatioli
3:05 am
given to a reporter. and instead of the white house being brought on message, which was anthony scaramucci's job, it is off-message and suggests chaos and disarray. >> mason: so how long can the white house function like this, john? >> reporter: well, there is the relationships first of all that have to be either repaired or severed completely between steve bannon an reince preibus, the senior adviser and chief of staff to the president, who anthony scaramucci speaks of with such contempt and disdain in this interview. but then the question is who would want to join a white house-- if mr. scaramucci is successful in firing everyone, as he says he will, to get rid of these leaks-- who would want to join a white house with this kind of an atmosphere, that is so brutal and so personal? >> mason: and, john, as you mentioned, scaramucci was brought in to do the president's bidding, to stop the leaks. >> reporter: that's right. and the leaks, though, that he wants to stop are not the national security leaks. these
3:06 am
to the president. but the kind of scorched earth effort that he outlines in this interview and elsewhere would suggest a white house working atmosphere in which it would be very harsh, where people would be looking over their shoulders, and that's not the way white houses work. white houses work when everybody is pulling for the same team, and this kind of a structure that he's talking about might keep people from talking at all, let alone leaking to reporters. >> mason: john dickerson, thanks. the nation's top military officer, general joseph dunfer, said today transgender service members will be allowed to remain in uniform until the pentagon receives a directive to remove them from the armed forces. president trump tweeted yesterday that he is reinstating the transgender ban but a tweet is not an official order. cbs overnight news be right back.

3:15 am
very, very open book. >> reporter: but president trump's business organization wants to stay on the down-low. cbs news has obtained a new confidentiality agreement rolled out after the election. the trump organization is requiring employees at all levels to sign it, or else they will lose their jobs. employees must agree to keep secret any information they learn about anyone in the trump family and extended family, including their present, former, and future spouses, children, parents, in-laws. >> i have reviewed confidentiality agreements in international family-run hospitality organizations, and yet i have never seen a loyalty code to a family like this. >> reporter: debra soltis has specialized in employment law for more than 25 years. >> this confidentiality agreement looks more like what you would expect to sign if you were a nanny to angelina jolie and brad pitt's children, where

you were being brought into the home and exposed to private information. >> reporter: specifically off limits, all political, legal, social, religious, health-related affairs, activities, views, and/or opinions of any member of the trump family. all photographs, movies, sketches, videos, sound or image recordings, or likenesses of any member of the trump family. the agreement lasts forever and is retroactive. soltis says the agreement could discourage would-be whistleblowers, because even though the company code of conduct requires employees to be truthful in any government inquiry, the confidentiality agreement has a clause saying if an employee is required by law to disclose confidential information, they have to notify the trump organization. >> what if an employee had information that was relevant and that the public had every right to know? under this agreement, they could not share it. they couldn't raise their hand and say, "i know set

i've seen something." and that is deeply troubling. >> reporter: in a statement, the trump organization told us it's used confidentiality agreements for many years. a spokesperson said, "this is no different than any other company in the hospitality industry and beyond. to suggest otherwise is not only disingenuous, but downright absurd." anthony. >> mason: julianna goldman, thank you, julianna. coming up next a woman is allegedly murdered by her husband on a family cruise. >> mason: it started as a family cruise to alaska, and ended in death. plan . go? ♪ ♪ i'm goin' up the country, baby don't you wanna go? ♪ geico motorcycle,
