New york, the numbers are all going down. Many of the other states the numbers are still going up and theyre reopening. That not only violates cdc guidelines, that violates common sense.

The country lost 20. 5 million jobs last month due to the coronavirus. The National Unemployment rate jumped to 14. 7 in april. The highest since the Great Depression back in the 1930s. Cbs News Business analyst Jill Schlesinger joins us. We expected this, but its still very hard to look at, these numbers. It sure is. And to put some context around these numbers, which is really hard to do if you think 20 million, that is 25 times larger than any single month we saw during the great recession. Ten times higher than the biggest number on record which occurred just after world war ii. We talk about that Unemployment Rate. It may not capture as many people who are really sidelined. So for that we look to a broader Unemployment Rate that the Labor Department gives us. This one adds in people who are working part time but really would like fulltime work or who are just sort giving up their job search. That Unemployment Rate, that broader rate is up near 23 . The numbers are likely to be just as bad in may, but well have to see how many of these people come off the payrolls eventually this summer. Anthony . All right, jill, thanks. Tony . Thanks, guys. Turning to concerns over the easing of coronavirus restrictions all across the country. 44 states are reopening in some form which likely means more people spending time outside their homes. Of those states nearly half have seen an overall increase in new cases in the past two weeks according to the new york times. The trump administrations guidelines for reopening call for a 14day decrease so moving in the opposite direction.

Gavin newsom says the virus has sent the states once booming economy, the fifth largest in the world, into its worst budget deficit in state history.

Understand that. Thank you, carter. We have new information this morning on the arrest of two suspects in the killing of an unarmed black man in georgia. The two white men who confronted him in his neighborhood as he was jogging are charged with murder and aggravated assault. Gregory and Travis Mcmichael, a father and son, were arrested last night. Now they deny any wrongdoing in the shooting death of 25yearold ahmaud arbery. More than two months ago is when the shooting hand. Omar villafranca has been following this case. This is a good Birthday Gift. Wish my son was here. Reporter Marcus Arbery is relieved the men accused of killing his son ahmaud last february are in jail. Gregory and Travis Mcmichael were arrested thursday evening. They told police they thought he was a burglary suspect and shot the unarmed man during a confrontation. But arbery says his son was not a criminal. He was a good man, wellrespected young man, athletic. Loved people. Reporter the arrest comes just days after cell phone video was released showing the final moments of arberys life as he jogged in his own neighborhood. The video appears to show the mcmichaels after they chased arbery in their truck. Gregory told police travis and arbery fought over the shotgun before travis shot him two times. Cbs news can now confirm the video was filmed by this man, William Bryan. According to the cases previous prosecutor, the mcmichaels and William Bryan were following arbery thinking he was a burglary suspect. The police have not said tat har be ry committed a crime. He just has a good heart. Reporter arberys family attorney lee merritt says he also expects bryan to be charged. My understanding is that investigation is still ongoing. Reporter cbs news can also confirm the video was leaked by this man, alan tucker, the former attorney for gregory and Travis Mcmichael. According to a statement, tucker says his sole purpose in releasing the video was absolute tansparency. Fellow arbery family Attorney Says the video is what might have propelled the case forward. I believe that the video was all the probable cause you needed to arrest these murderous father son duo. Reporter cbs news learned new details about the former prosecutor assigned to the case. George barnhill of the waycross judicial circuit. We obtained the email barnhill sent to the Georgia Attorney general along with his recusal letter. In it, barnhill explains his son, who is also an attorney, had previously investigated arbery. He also included what he claimed was the criminal history of arberys relatives. That letter does not line up with the law in the least bit. Reporter we reached out to the mcmichaels but did not hear back. The Georgia Bureau of investigation says there could still be more arrests but this is an ongoing investigation. There are rallies for arbery today. Theyll go on as planned to celebrate his life. Gayle . Thank you, omar. Its a very upsetting case. He would have turned 26 actually today. Anthony, i spoke to omars not to omars mother. To Ahmaud Arberys mother yesterday who told me that she has not looked at the video. Family members have told her whats on it and she says she doesnt think she will ever take a look at it. But the thing that haunts her more than anything shes said is wondering about her sons last minutes, last seconds of life and what he must have been thinking at that time. Not knowing or even suspecting that he was that his life was about to come to an end. Its a very difficult situation for her to really, really think about when you think about your son. And by all accounts, he was just a lovely guy who went jogging all of the time in the neighborhood. This is a very tough story. Yeah, and another tough day for that family, this being his birthday, gayle. Attorney general william barr is under scrutiny after the Justice Department abruptly dropped its criminal case against Michael Flynn. President trumps first National Security adviser. The retired general admitted lying to the fbi during the russia investigation, then renounced his guilty plea before he was sentenced. Barr explained his decision in an exclusive interview with Senior Investigative correspondent catherine herridge. Reporter what should americans take away from your actions in the flynn case today . I was concerned that people were feeling there were two standards of justice in this country and that the political and that the justice or Law Enforcement process was being used to play political games. Reporter based on new evidence, the Justice Department said the former National Security advisers 2017 fbi interview was unjustified and done without any legitimate investigative basis. Just a month into his administration, President Trump said he fired National Security adviser Michael Flynn for lying to Vice President pence about his conversations with then Russian AmbassadorSergey Kislyak following the 2016 election. In december 2017, flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi about his conversations with the ambassador during the president ial transition. Flynn has since tried to withdraw his guilty plea. Does the fact remain that he lied . Well, you know, people sometimes plead to things that turn out not to be crimes. Reporter newly unsealed documents show in early 2017, the fbi was going to close its investigation of flynn citing a lack of derogatory information. Then a senior fbi agent suddenly intervened. They kept it open for the express purpose of trying to catch lay a perjury trap for general flynn. Reporter the reversal comes after multiple public statements from President Trump who has said flynn was treated unfairly. He was targeted by the obama administration. Reporter former fbi director james comey, fired by President Trump for his handling of the russia case, tweeted thursday, the Justice Department has lost its way. A charge echoed by democrats. The president has his attorney general, the hand of the president , doing his political work, his personal bidding. Reporter barr told cbs news he didnt discuss the discussion with President Trump. Are you doing the president s bidding in general flynns case . No, im doing what the law is bidding. Im doing my duty under the law as i see it. Reporter when history looks back on this decision, how do you think it will be written . Well, history is written by the winners so it largely depends on who is writing the history, but i think a fair history would say it was a good decision because it upheld the rule of law. It upheld the standards of the department of justice, and it undid what was an injustice. Reporter after the decision, President Trump called flynn an innocent man, but his fate rests with the federal judge here in washington, d. C. , who can dismiss the case. According to one cbs news legal expert. The attorney general emphasized to cbs news in our interview that they continue to investigate other aspects of the fbi russia probe. Tony . As we heard the attorney general say, ultimately, history will be the judge. Catherine, thank you. Great interview. The former Senate Staffer accusing joe biden of Sexual Assault is calling the on the Presumptive Democratic nominee to drop out of the president ial race. It is the first time tara reade has talked publicly since biden denied the allegation in a Television Interview last week. Ed okeefe reports now from washington. His campaign is taking this position that they want all women to be able to speak safely. I have not experienced that. Reporter in an interview with megyn kelly, tara reade responded to joe bidens denial that he sexually assaulted her in a capitol hill hallway in 1993. You should not be running on character for the president of the united states. You want him to withdraw . I wish he would. But he wont, but i wish he would. Thats how i feel emotionally. Do you want an apology . I think its a little late. Reporter reade was one of several woman who accused bien of inappropriate touching. Shes the only person to allege Sexual Assault. Cbs news has spoken to her several times since she first made the accusation in late march. We have spoeken with several acquaintances and her brother who corroborate her story but reades version and others have evolved with other news outlets. I have had to live with it. Reporter would she be willing to take a polygraph test . So i will take one if joe biden takes one. But im not a criminal. Reporter several former biden senate aides have said theyve never heard of the allegation that the time. Biden has asked to release any paperwork that might shed light on the incident and once again denied the allegations on thursday. Well, look, nothing ever happened with tara reade. Believing women means taking a womans claim seriously when she steps forward and then vetting it. Looking into it. And in every case, the truth is what matters. And in this case, the truth is, these claims are flatout false. Reporter late thursday, the tribune in san luis obisbo, california, reported a 1996 Court Document shows reade told her exhusband about problems with Sexual Harassment in then senator bidens office in 1993. It doesnt say that biden committed the harassment or mention the more recent accusation of assault. In response, the Biden Campaign said in a statement as more news outlets speak to reade and her soeshts associates, more and more inconsistencies keep emerging. Weve been trying to obtain that Court Document and weve made several requests for an oncamera interview with tara reade. Biden held a Virtual Campaign event from his delaware home. He addressed supporters in florida, the swing state where he has a narrow lead over President Trump. Gayle . All right, ed, thank you very much. Ahead, well hear from people who are selfemployed and struggling to get the unemployment benefits, even though the pandemic has slashed their income. These are extraordinary times, and we want to thank t
