Well we begin this morning with breaking news from southern california. At least one person is dead and three others were injured, including the gunman, following a shooting at costco. Witnesses say the gunfire started when two men got no an argument, with shooting late last night was at a store in the city of corona. About 50 miles east of los angeles. Oh, my god. Witnesses said they heard at least six shots, terrified customers and workers stampeded for the exits. Others ducked for cover. This worker says people were looking after one another, especially women and children. Pretty much if i saw any kids or women, everyone was grabbing them and making sure they were okay first before anything else. Employees were looking after each other. Making sure we had a silent head count as we were running out, as best as we can. Gunman was taken into custody and hospitalized. Hes not been identified. Iran is putting the world on notice it will continue to reduce its compliance with Nuclear Commitments made with several countries unless they help it combat painful economic sanctions imposed by the u. S. The u. S. Withdrew from that accord. Irans president made the warning during a meeting with russian, chinese and other asian leaders. This tankers this week in the gulf of oman. Charlie dagata is in the united arab emirates, what can you tell us . Good morning. While the Trump Administration may be piling up evidence that iran is to be blamed for whats now become a series of attacks here, the International Community remains divided. Germanys foreign minister has cast doubt, france remains uncommitted. And even here in the uae, theyve been reluctant to point the finger of blame directly at iran. President trump says he has no doubt who is behind backtoback explosions that damed tankers here in the gulf of oman on thursday. Well, iran did do it and you know they did it because you saw the boat. I guess one of the mines didnt explode and its probably got essentially iran written all over it. Fwl what hes referring to, Images Released from the u. S. Military showing one of the tankers with a hole blown in the starboard side and what military Officials Say is an unexploded mine still attached to the hull. Later, an american aircraft captured this footage, what the u. S. Says is an iranian boat with Islamic Revolutionary guards seen detaching the mine and making off with it. That was the boat, that was them. And they didnt want the evidence left behind. U. S. Investigators boarded the japanese tanker, and found pieces of the magnet that fixed the mine to the ship. The other tanker, norwegianowned stained three explosions and burned for hours. Iran insists it had nothing tdo. And they follow similar coordinated attacks less than a month ago, that targeted four tankers right off this port. Iran denies any involvement in those attacks, too. A passing iranian cargo ship rescued the crew of the altair. But then remaining romanian boats surrounded the ship and got the crew. Cranking up tensions in the region that have been rising for the past few weeks. Now Trump Administration officials are looking to garner support from u. S. Allies. We have an International Situation there in the middle east. Its not a u. S. Situation. And the focus for myself and ambassador bolton and secretary pompeo is to build International Consensus to this international problem. That International Cooperation might look like reflagging oil tankers traveling through whats now clearly become a dangerous stretch of water and essentially providing military escort. Something done during the height of tensions here in the 1980s. Dana . Charlie, thank you. A birthday present for President Trump on friday after the Justice Department released a legal opinion saying that treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin was right to withhold President Trumps tax returns from a House Committee that subpoenaed them. Nicole killian is at the white house with more. Nicole, good morning. Go good morning to you, dana. This appears to be a victory for President Trump at least for now. Youll recall back in may the house ways and Means Committee issued a subpoena for six years worth of the president s tax returns. At the time treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin refused to turn over the documents, saying the request lacked a legitimate legislative purpose. In its decision, the Justice Department backed that up. The 33page opinion said because the committees chairman, congressman richard neal wanted to make the president s tax returns public, the request didnt meet criteria for a legitimate legislative function. The battle for President Trumps tax returns has been going on since before he was elected in 2016. The partisan battle got new life in 2018, when democrats took back the majority in the house. This decision is likely to fan the flames between Congressional Democrats and attorney general william barr, who they accuse of trying to stonewall congress. Oregon senator ron widen said the opinion further reflects attorney general barrs willingness to protect the president at all costs. Besides mr. Trump, every president since Richard Nixon has made his tax returns public. Anthony . Nicole, thank you. President trump has tried to walk back some of the explosive comments he made about his willingness to accept dirt on a political opponent from a foreign government. Without feeling an obligation to notify Law Enforcement. The comments raised red flags among democrats and some republicans. Were at the white house with more. I think i might want to listen. Theres nothing wrong with listening. President trump said he would not refuse dirt on a political rival if another country offered it. Even though its a crime for a campaign to knowingly accept anything valuable from a foreign government. You want that kind of interference in our elections . Its not an interference, they have information, i think id take it. If i thought there were something wrong i would go maybe to the fbi if i thought there were something wrong. Fbi director Christopher Wray said the right thing to do in every case is to report it. Thats something that the fbi would want to know about. The fbi director is wrong. The controversy is unfolding as Congress Continues to investigate russian meddling in the 2016 campaign. Donald trump jr. Testified about meeting with a russian lawyer promising damaging information about hillary clinton. I will tell you this russia, if youre listening then candidate trump once asked moscow to investigate his opponent. There was an assault on our democracy. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the president is inviting foreign governments to play a role in our elections. The president gave us once again evidence that he does not know right from wrong. Its a very sad thing. Even republicans are struggling to defend mr. Trump. Senator lindsey graham, a faithful ally, called him out. I think its a mistake. I think its a mistake of law. I dont want to send a signal to encourage this. Cbs news, the white house. New York Magazine reporter gabrielle benedetti joins us. Lindsey graham said there are republicans have uncomfortable with the president. Whats the fallout. A lot of people are uncomfortable. Republicans have said it was a mistake. But most of the president s allies have not said much. Democrats have been raising alarms, saying its an essentially invitation to foreign governments to meddle in our elections. The president said its a long way from no collusion. The president did clarify his position yesterday. With that clarification enough . Or did he just feed more into the ammo to his critics. It was a bit of a clarification. He essentially said no, i would do it even if it wasnt, most of the material wasnt that bad. So it wasnt much of a real clarification. Again im old enough to remember when he was saying no collusion. Now hes saying you know you can talk to foreign governments most of the time. Its kind of okay. For democrats did it just reinvigorate those looking towards impeachment. There are those who say this is yet more evidence that this president is lawless and unfit to govern. But nancy pelosi, in charge of this process is saying the majority of my caucus is not there yet. This is not going to be the thing that pushes us over the edge. Theres no doubt that pressure is increasing from the left. Lets turn to the president s assertion that iran was behind the attack of two tankers. How serious is this situation become, do you think . We dont know because the president keeps saying something more is cing. Haveo wha thereeebe a div i xts le ofcand International Allies that are trying to ratchet tensions down. A lot of people saying we dont want to go down the road to war with iran. For me, this is, in is big. Because if you attack a u. S. Vessel, thats reason f how, why arent they saying how they know its iran . For sure . Well the president says he knows its iran. But theres clear divide in washington as to how real this intelligence is. Obviously this is all very sensitive. I suspect that were going to get a lot more information about this in coming days. Or there will be more pressure for this information. Because theres nothing that republican and democratic lawmakers in washington are more wary of these days, than calls for war, calls for ratcheting up tension with an adversary with so little intel. Is there something that has been dpleened from the war in the 80s that can be used now . A lot of the intel is very sketchy now so theyre trying to look back at that and other wars that have happened since then. Other situations where there were attacks that werent really clear where it was from. You have a lot of people in washington trying to look back at that and say, obviously we didnt escalate tensions to a full war then. We dont want to do that now. The official lineups for the first democratic debate have been set. 20 candidates appearing over two nights. 20. Some got left out. Which is thats right. Thats pretty rough. So what do you think the strategy for the dems going in here has to be in. It depends. Candidate to candidate. But you have nine other people on stage with you. Everyone is going to be trying to have a breakout moment. Particularly if youre one of these candidates thats not that well known. There are a lot of heavyweights on each of the nights. The major candidates. But if youre someone who we dont talk about that much on tv youre going to be trying to have a moment or something that makes you stand out. Is this a makeorbreak moment for some candidates . Absolutely. Theyre going to run out of money and attention if not. Tomorrow morning on face the nation margaret brennans guests will dru democratic president ial candidate Pete Buttigieg and secretary of state mike pompeo. The man suspected of shooting big Papi David Ortiz will remain in jail for at least a year. On friday the alleged shooter and eight other suspects made a Court Appearance in the dominican republic. All wore bullet proof vests and helmets. The suspected gunman told reporters that ortiz was not the intended target. Mola lhengi is in the capital, santa domingo. Police have nine suspects in custody. But local media is reporting that a 10th suspect turned himself in on friday. In connection with the david ortiz shooting this week. Cbs news was the only network to get this video after gaining access to the suspects being transferred from jail to a Court Hearing friday in santa domingo. As you can see, police have them under tight security. Authorities are still looking for several others they say may be involved in the plot. Including a man wanted in connection with an attempted murder in pennsylvania. Rolfy cruz, the man police say shot cruz has been in custody since wednesday. He insists that the former red sox star was not the intended target. When he spoke to reporters from the window of his cell on thursday. Defense attorneys told us on thursday their clients are innocent. We talked with a doctor that treated ortiz in the hours after the shooting. He said ortiz was in a lot of pain, but stable when he was taken into the operating room. I saw some news about him saying please, dont let me die. Im a good man. But he never said im a good man, you know. When the police was interviewing him, asking him who had shot him, i have problems with no one, im a good man. So they put together two phrases, two separate phrases. Police have not yet announced a motive in this shooting. For cbs news this morning saturday, mola lenghi, santa domingo, dominican republic.
