Now the fbi is investigating. Heres omar villafranca. Reporter in 2015 turn this way. Reporter paige and Nick Ippolito moved into a house managed by Balfour Beatty communities. It was a distressed property probably 20 years ago. Reporter within months a water leak warped their floor and a Company Technician recorded his concern that the couples infant daughter could become sick from chewing on flooring tiles that contained asbestos. Its very upsetting to know that he was concerned for our childs safety but didnt tell us. Reporter maintenance documents say the leak was repaired almost immediately. It says the call was put in at 4 32 p. M. , and it was completed at 4 52. Thats a physical impossibility to fix something of that extent in 20 minutes. Reporter but internal records reviewed by cbs news and reuters reveal at the time Balfour Beatty employees at tinker kept two sets of books. Calls were first recorded on paper and only entered into a Computer System when a job was nearly completed. This made it appear the company was quickly addressing problems and kept it eligible for millions in performance bonuses. Whenever you generate a work order, it automatically puts todays date on it. And its like a stopwatch. Reporter tina brown scheduled repairs at tinker for Balfour Beatty. What was the longest you saw a regular maintenance request sit in a logbook . They used to sit in there for as long as a month. Reporter did your boss expressly tell you not to put them into the computer unless they were ready to be worked on . Yes. Reporter assistant secretary of the airforce John Henderson told cbs news his office took immediate action, putting Balfour Beatty on a corrective action plan. Balfour beatty said in a statement it has not and does not condone the falsification of records in any way. Right here, this is all water. Reporter the company says it has strengthened its documentation process at tinker, but derek, a naval Flight Engineer who asked us not to use his last name, lives on base. He says problems persist. We get phone calls saying, hey, your house is leaking. Well, your mind goes from what youre supposed to be doing to im thousands of miles away. Why is it leaking . It was already fixed once. Reporter tina brown was fired in 2016. She is suing Balfour Beatty for wrongful termination. The fbi is currently investigating allegations at tinker and two other bases in california and washington. The companys Incentive Fees are estimated to be worth up to 800 million. Omar, we know of one person being fired. Any others that were hearing about . Just tina brown. Thats the only one we know about so far. Astonishing. Omar villafranca, thanks so much. The wife of baseball superstar david ortiz says his condition has been upgraded to good.

Mola lenghi is there with an update on what we know and what remains a mystery. Reporter the series of deaths at luxury resorts have created confusion and raised questions about the islands safety. 55yearold joseph allen of new jersey was the latest death. He died in his hotel room earlier this week. The authorities have not said how. Heres what we do know. So far this year seven tourists have died on the island of nonaccidental causes. Five of them had similar symptoms of pulmonary edema, fluid in the lungs, and respiratory failure and occurred at resorts in punta cana or la romana. What we dont know is what caused those symptoms. The fbi is conducting their own toxicology tests on three of the deaths. Two others have been deemed natural causes, both heart attacks, by Island Medical officials. A tropical paradise in the caribbean, the Dominican Republic is a Tourist Destination to 6. 6 million vacationers a year. Cesar duverany is a spokesperson for the Dominican Foreign Ministry and insists the deaths are unrelated and isolated. What do you say to americans who feel it is unsafe to visit here . More than six Million People visited and most of them north americans, so we dont think its a good representation. The country is very safe, and the best thing they can do is lay out the numbers and the facts. There were two other deaths with similar symptoms at those same resorts last year. The u. S. Embassy here in Santo Domingo says at this point there is no proof that any of the deaths are, in fact, related. Meanwhile, those fbi toxicology results are expected back, maurice, some time in the next three weeks. Mola lenghi in Santo Domingo tonight. Thank you.

Dont answer until you see this story from chip reid. Reporter the third grade class at this Elementary School was feeling a little more than frustrated. I felt disrespected. I felt stressed and i didnt like it at all. Reporter what made them so unhappy was a problem in a math workbook that said Christopher Columbus landed in america. My reaction was that, whoa, thats not the right answer. America and the americas. Reporter america, they said, refers to what is now the United States of america. They immediately protested because they knew that columbus didnt land in the United States of america. He landed in the caribbean islands. Reporter so they voted to send a letter to the publisher asking that the wording be changed. Who was the motivating force here, you or the kids . No, this was student led. This was entirely their idea. Reporter over several months they sent three letters, but only got form letters in return. That made them mad. Really, really furious. Because they didnt answer me. I dont like when people dont answer me. Reporter why do you think they ignored you . Because were just kids. Reporter kids who refused to give up. Next they created a petition online with over 1,285 signatures. That got mifflin harcourts attention. Which soon informed them the next edition of the textbook would say Christopher Columbus landed in the caribbean. They commended the students and they were elated. What felt the best . Having so many people support us. Reporter what do you think is the big lesson of all of this . I think if youre a kid, just keep pushing to do something incredible. I mean, if its hard, just keep pushing, keep pushing, and then if somebody says you cant do it, just prove them wrong. Reporter a big lesson for the rest of us, too.

Reporter parscale said public polling methodal is broken and the trump data mining property is far better. The country is just too complex. There are so many ways to show up.

Reporter the president s focus on illegal immigration and what he calls the crisis at the southern border is expected to be a center piece for his campaign. Last night, the president announced on twitter his plan to deport millions of Illegal Immigrants next week. Is that a political message or a policy message . Its always been about securing the southern border. Thats important for him. Were your surprised by that tweet . No, not at all. Does it help you politically . I dont have anything whether that will help us or not. Its what the promise he made, and its why he won in 2016, and i think that i stand by the promise he made. Reporter democrats think they can capitalize on the president s antiimmigrant rhetoric and turn out the latino vote. They also hope the fallout from the Mueller Report will help them win the white house. But parscale said the Mueller Probe has become a net plus. Its been a good thing and all this lies about russian collusion and all this crap that said we cheated and these things, and they want to act like that never happened now.
