This mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. As you wake up in the west were following breaking news. An intelligence source says the United States government is trying to confirm if one of americas longest running enemies is dead. A report from afghanistan claims mullah omar died two months ago, but a taliban spokesperson tells sky news that as far as he knows, omar is still in charge. A spokesman for afghanistans president scrambled to hold a News Conference this morning. His government is also investigating reports of omars death. The ally of al qaeda has lived in seclusion for many years. He ran afghanistan until americanled forces overthrew him in 2011. Michael morrell is here. He spent years dealing with the taliban and mullah omar. Good morning. Good morning. Tell us about him before you talk about whether he is alive or dead. Why is this significant . Hes the longterm leader of the taliban. He provided sanctuary to al qaeda prior to 9 11. He refused to turn bin laden over to the United States on numerous occasions. He is as responsible for 9 11 as was bin laden and al qaeda. Why have we not been able to find him . Because hes hiding. It took us 12 years to find bin laden. If somebody wants to hide its hard to find them. And is he alive . Dont know. Im a little skeptical of these reports. The first report was he died two years ago. Really hard to imagine he died two years ago and theyve kept it secret. So a little skeptical of the reports but the ramifications would be significant if he were indeed dead. The taliban is denying he is dead. Do they normally deny Something Like this . I cant remember when they denied something or lied about one of their senior leaders. What would it mean on the ground in terms of the fight against the taliban . Historically there have been two factions. A faction that wants to fight to the end and a faction that wants to negotiate. Hes been pro fight, not negotiate. So if he is dead theres a risk of theres a chance that the group will fractsure and splinter along those two lines. That may open up some avenue for potential negotiation. Theres a new faction in the last six monthses or so. Its been people who want to join isis. And hes held all of those guys together. That would also free up some of the guys to form a new group in afghanistan that would follow isis. The story continues. Thanks. Tom brady is denying he tried to cover up deflategate evidence by smashing his cell phone. Roger goodell said that phone might have tied brady to the deflated footballs the patriots used in a playoff game. Goodell refused to shorten bradys fourgame suspension. James brown of cbs sports is in washington with the ruling and this new response. J. B. , hes fighting back. Good morning. Good morning. Tom brady is not backing down. He responded this morning to allegations he destroyed his cell phone to hide evidence with an empattic message on his Facebook Page where he said there is no smoking gun and this controversy is manufactured to distract from the fact they have zero evidence. He says i have never written, texted emailed to anybody at any time anything relating to football air pressure before this issue was raised at the afc championship game in january. To suggest that i destroyed a phone to avoid giving the nfl information it requested is completely wrong. Despite bradys claims Roger Goodell viewed the destrction of the cell phone as yet another piece of evidence pointing to bradys guilt. Even though he knew investigators wanted emails and texts from his cell phone, brady ordered his assistance to destroy it. Something he does whenever he gets a new one. He had it for just four months at that point. He noted bradys previous cell phone was still around. Brady mades deliberate effort to ensure investigators would never have access to information hed been asked to produce. Usa todays sports columnist nancy armor says bradys phone with about 10,000 Text Messages was a key piece of evidence. If you had no knowledge, no role in this why would you destroy your cell phone . Goodell said scientific tests prove the balls used in januarys afc championship game did not deflate from natural causes. He added bradys fourgame suspension was justified because he was an active participant in an effort to tamper with the game balls. In january brady told reporters he did nothing wrong. I have no knowledge of anything. No knowledge any of are you comfortable that nobody did anything wrong . Im very comfortable saying that. Goodell ignored legal deficiencies of due process and promised to appeal in federal court. Both the union and don yee, bradys agent, said the fourtime super bowl winner was transparent and did provide phone records to the league. The appeal process was a sham resulting in a commissioner rubberstamping his own decision. Its not the time itself thats so bad. Its the coverup. If brady just fessed up and said, yeah i did it. He would have gotten his landhand slapped and we would have moved on. The team still stands behind brady saying theres no hard evidence of wrong doing and Bill Belichick will give a press conference this hour. Donald trump is back on the offensive rejacketing any notion he raped his exwife decades ago. Hes also distancing himself from his attorneys claim that you cant rape your spouse. He said on tuesday i made an inarticulate comment which i do not believe and which i apologize for entirely. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. Trump is supposed to be in scotland today where the womens british open is being played at a golf course he owns. Instead he delayed his trip to stay behind countering the troubling allegations. Its totally fis and ivana said it was false. Trump batted down a decades old deposition in which his first wife said ivana had raped her once during an angry confrontation. Its something that never happened. Ivana walked back the rape claim when it was made public saying she felt violated but wasnt raped in quote, a literal or criminal sense. In a statement monday she went further. The story is totally without merit, she said. I think he would make an incredible president. Ivana was very nice. With no coaching she read it and said it was totally false. They issued a false story to get publicity for themselves. Reporter trump also stood by his lawyer and chief spokesman who told tim mack that by the very definition you cant rape your spouse even though marital rape is illegal in all 50 states. Cohen had warned mack to stay away from the story or i will come after your daily beast and everybody else that you possibly know. Max describes the conversation on cbs this morning. It descended into insults and threats. Threats of lawsuits and to tread lightly. Cohen issued an apology monday and trump said hed keep him on staff. Hes speaking for himself, not for me obviously, but i did tell him i disagreed with him. Ohio Governor John Kasich was asked about it but made no comment. Just leave him alone. Obviously, its a difficult story for him and for his former wife. Leave him alone. Trump is leaving for scotland today. We may not hear that much from him over the next week or so because he had no Public Events scheduled between now and the first Republican Debate next thursday.
