Attorney in miami, acosta personally negotiated and approved app secret, controversial plea agreement dropping similar federal charges against the financeer accused of abusing dozens of under age teenage girls. Well bring you the president s remarks on acostas resignation as soon as we get them. Singer r. Kelly is back in custody this time facing federal sex crime charges. Nypd dietze and Homeland Security agents arrested kelly last night in chicago. He was indicted earlier in the day by two federal courts, the Northern District of illinois based in chicago, and the Eastern District of new york based in brooklyn. The 13count indictment in chicago accuses kelly of charges related to child pornography, enticement of a minor and obstruction of justice. Charges in brooklyn have just been revealed. National correspondent Jericka Duncan has been covering the allegations of abuse by r. Kelly which he strongly denies. What do we know . This is the first time r. Kelly is facing federal charges. Federal prosecutors in new york as you mentioned Just Announced those charges that include racketeering and transportation for prostitution. Reporter for the second time this year r b singer r. Kelly was arrested in chicago on sex crime charges. Federal agents took the threetime grammy winner into custody. Sources say it happened while he was walking his dog in front of his trump tower apartment thursday night. You have to be prepared for more charges even if y innocent. Reporter kellys crisis manager Darrell Johnson says the singers team was expecting federal charges and they are ready to fight them. So a lot of fans, a lot of people praying for him and wishing him the best. The best outcome is him to be out. Thats what we are hoping. Reporter kelly had already been charged with a number of sex related crimes this year. The new indictment alleges additional counts. Reporter just six weeks ago he pleaded not guilty to 11 of those charges in chicago, four of which carry up to 30 years in prison each if convicted. In an explosive interview with gayle king in march, kelly insisted he had done nothing wrong and denied allegations he abused women. Well, how stupid would that be for r. Kelly with all i been through in my way, way past, to hold somebody let alone four or five, six, 50 you said how stupid would i be to do that . Is this camera on me . Yes. Its on. Thats stupid. Use your common sense. Eporter the singer denied allegations of Sexual Misconduct for decades and was acquitted on state child pornography charges in 2008. R. Kelly has pled not guilty to all previous charges against him. It is unclear whether the new federal charges like the obstruction of justice charge are related to the previous ones. His attorney just released a statement saying, a bail hearing will be held early next week, and that his office had no further comment. Cbs news legal analyst Rikki Klieman is with us. Good morning. Good morning. How serious are the new charges . Hearehel ibil nnl sex traffickiner lookingat ten the t were also dealing with the possibility, i want to underline that, of a federal rico charge in new york. If that should come to pass were really looking at life. Now he isnt facing years. Hes facing decades. Decades. That is the difference between the state and the feds . He was facing about 30 years in the state but that didnt necessarily mean he was going to get it. When you look at two federal jurisdictions, the Northern District of illinois located in chicago, the Eastern District of new york located in brooklyn, this time nobody is kidding around. Why are the feds involved . I would guess, and i can only guess, that the feds are involved for two reasons. Number one, if the Eastern District of new york is involved, like the southern district, they dont do things unless they are really locked, loaded, ready. Probably main justice in washington has really put a priority on the issue of sex trafficking. I think we can see that this week with statement from the head of the fbi in new york that sex trafficking is in fact something that they are not letting go of. They are serious in new york. So now we have to have a nexus in new york. Did he transport a woman to new york . Did he film a woman in new york . Did he make some phone calls out of new york . There must be a nexus. But this time they really may think that chicago states attorney has moved too slowly and that they are not going to take what they believe is a serial predator and let him take his time. The real question is detention. A lot of people saying, it only took two decades for him to be brought to justice. Well, were in the same story twice in one week. We are. Thank you, Rikki Klieman. Louisiana has less than 24 hours left to prepare for Tropical Storm barry landfall. It is expected to cause widespread and severe flooding. Chief weather forecaster lonnie quinn of our new york station wcbs tv is tracking the latest developments. What do you see as the storm moves closer . I see the storm as a big water maker, a lot of rain, storm surge as well. It isnt impressive on the radar image. Kind of ragged looking. You only have winds at 50 Miles Per Hour so a mid grade Tropical Storm. Is it getting stronger or weaker . If it can pull in some of the dry air it would weaken the storm but it has closed the door on that. It will get stronger. The National Hurricane center says maybe a low grade hurricane. Hurricane warnings right now up for the louisiana coast line. The official track and intensity forecast has it as a Tropical Storm, a strong one as it comes onshore sometime tomorrow. 70mileperhour winds. 74 would be a hurricane. I think the bigger story is the rain and it goes well inland. Tupelo, mississippi way inland could see 9 inches of rain. The bulls eye shows you 2 feet of rain well to the west of new orleans. Look at the possibilities. Here are the different tracks. One cluster well to the west of new orleans another cluster closer to new orleans. If it shifts and takes the cluster closer to new orleans take a look at this. Now you put two feet of rain just outside of new orleans. That is too much rain for new orleans. We have to watch this very carefully. Landfall i think probably sometime tomorrow. About 10,000 people along the louisiana coast have been ordered to evacuate. President trump declared a federal emergency for the state last night. Cbs this Morning National correspondent David Camardelle, what are conditions now . It is rainy. We are at the tip of louisiana. If you walk off here you are swimming in the gulf of mexico. Grand isle is a town in the middle of the gulf of mexico. They have hit really hard by coastal erosion. The mayor is worried about what this could do. He has ordered a mandatory evacuation and i just talked to him ten minutes ago. When it comes in from the north side of the island or the back side of the island it can cause severe flooding. Reporter that would put the only road in and out of this island under water. Yes, sir. Reporter there are 1400 residents living in grand isle and mayor David Camardelle says some are not leaving. What will you tell them . Right now the way i look at the tide as we speak this morning probably too late to get off the island. Everyone is taking the threat very seriously. Reporter louisianians in lowlying areas are bracing as the seasons first expected hurricane looms. Hopefully, you know, well survive this one. Reporter people are tying up boats, stocking up on supplies. Prepping stand bags. You got to be prepared. Reporter and getting out. Any time there is a disturbance it always disturbs me. Reporter for those who are choosing to stay behind help people that need help, ride it out, party it out. Staying for it. Holding down the fort. Reporter more than 200 floodgates are now closed surrounding new orleans. All eyes are on those levees which were improved following hurricane katrina, which devastated new orleans. In between two major bodies of water. The only thing protecting us is two levees. One of them failed already. Reporter with all the rain the Mississippi River is expected to crest at 19 feet just a foot below the top of the levees. Obviously conditions can change and residents should stay vigilant and prepared, should any changes occur. Reporter back here in grand isle, they will be the first to get hit. There are the levees behind me which protect the gulf of mexico side. Grand isle sits eight feet below sea level so the mayor says theyll definitely have flood water. There are 25 pumps here, anthony, but you know where else there are pumps . The city of new orleans. I talked to a woman in new york yesterday heading here. She said we couldnt handle a rain shower this week. That flooded our city. How is new orleans going to deal with a storm like this given the fact that the pumps are not consistently reliable . We sure hope for the best, david. Thank you. Today Vice President mike pence will travel to the u. S. mexico border to tour a migrant detention facility. He says migrants are receiving care that americans would be proud of despite a Government Watch dog report of turmoil. The trip comes as roundups could deport thousands of undocumented immigrants, starting this weekend. Mireya villarreal is at the facility where pence is going. What is he trying to achieve there . Reporter Vice President mike pence will be here in south texas for less than six hours. He is actually going to visit the facility you see behind me and this visit is all in an effort to disprove the conditions that were described by democrats recently. They called the conditions inside awful, and he is saying those descriptions are inaccurate. Meanwhile, the Trump Administration is now setting its sights on removing Illegal Migrants here in the u. S. Despite local leaders saying they will not comply. Were going to secure our border. Reporter on thursday Vice President mike pence insisted agents inside detention facilities are keeping migrants safe. Theyre providing healthcare, shelter, food, sustenance, in a way that would make the American People proud. Reporter earlier this month a scathing report by the office of the Inspector General detailing squalid conditions in Border Patrol facilities, quoted one manager who called the situation a ticking time bomb. Last week we spoke to 22yearold lilliana and her 4dayold baby after they were just released from one of the facilities. I was scared, she sailed. There was no place to shower or have hot meals. This is a completely out of control situation. Reporter the chairman of the Homeland Security committee, senator ron johnson, says agents are doing everything they can to keep families safe in overwhelming conditions. Border patrol facilities were never designed for families and certainly not for this size of illegal flow. Reporter pences visit comes as the Trump Administration also moves to conduct raids in at least ten cities to round up at least thank you, mr. President. Over the last week ive seen a lot of coverage in the department of labor and what i have not seen is the incredible job creation weve seen in this economy, more than 5 million jobs. Work place injuries are down bucking a threeyear trend. Work place more talts are down bucking a threeyear trend. Weve had the safest year ever with the lowest number of fatalities ever in mining. I have seen coverage of this case that is over 12 years old that had input and vetting at multiple levels of the department of justice. As i look forward i do not think it is right and fair for this administrations Labor Department to have epstein as the focus rather than the incredible economy we have today. So i called the president this morning. I told him i thought the right thing was to step aside. Cabinet positions are temporary trusts. It would be selfish for me to stay in this position and continue to talk about a case thats 12 years old rather than about the amazing economy we have right now. So i submitted my resignation to the president effective seven days from today, effective one week from today, earlier this morning. There is no need at all as far as i am concerned. I watched alex yesterday and i thought alex did a great job. You know, you can always second guess people and you can say he should have been tougher. They do it with me all the time. I make a great deal with anybody and then they say, like the democrats, oh, it could have been better. Paula, just two days ago mr. Acosta said he would not resign. What changed . Reporter well, it appears he was not able to continue fostering that good will from the president. It was just a few days ago when the president seemed to extend a lot of good will to the secretary suggesting that lots of lawyers and judges look back on decisions they made 12, 15 years ago and wish they had done things differently and then acosta had the press conference where he tried to defend this controversial plea deal that a federal judge said violated the rights of the victims of mr. Epstein. It went on for quite some time. We heard nothing from the president after that. Here even though the president said that acosta has done a fine job in his position as secretary, it appears the president is willing ultimately to accept this resignation in the hope that this distraction goes away. Yes. Mr. Acosta defending his time at the department of labor. But this was really about the plea deal as you said, paula, which was made around 2008 which mr. Acosta personally negotiated and approved. As you pointed out, was ultimately declared illegal in february of this year because the victims were never notified about this secret deal in which mr. Epstein served just 13 months in county jail. He was forced to register as a sex offender but he was able to leave jail six days a week for 12 hours a day and of course this kind of all came up this week because federal prosecutors in new york unsealed a new criminal indictment monday charging epstein with having operated a sex trafficking ring in which he sexually abused dozens of under age girls some as young as 14 years old. Paula, the president , himself, had a personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Did he talk about that at all this morning . He did. Not willingly though, anthony. We had to follow up a few times and really pressed him. Why did you have a falling out with mr. Epstein . First he said the reason didnt matter. He said he had never been a fan of him. But in fact in 2002 the president told new York Magazine he thought mr. Epstein was a, quote, terrific guy. At that time the president even acknowledged mr. Epsteins preference for, quote, younger women. We really pressed him and i asked him, sir, it does matter why you had this falling out. He seemed to confirm reports from folks who have written books on mr. Epstein that the falling out was related to epstein harassing some young women at maralago. Anthony, it is unusual that the president wouldnt confirm that prior to today. Once again our h
