The Justice Department is suing bolton for breaching his nondisclosure agreement. Experts are calling the lawsuit one of the most extreme attempts to stop a former trump adviser from recounting his experience. We turn to cbs legal analyst walter. The Supreme Court has rejected thank you for your anal sirks wa analysis, waltzer. This mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Welcome to cbs this morning. I havent seen walter in the building. I need to look for him when we go back sooner rather than later. Safe to say the president and john bolton wont be having lunch any time soon. Have you seen walter in the building . No, no. Im a lebowsky, hes a lebowsk, but we havent seen each nrtoth in a long time. Thats where we begin. Were talking about john boltons very startling claims in his new memoir about President Trump and the white house. Cbs news has obtained a copy of the room where it happened. The president tried to get chinas president to help him win reelection. Bolton also says mr. Trump engaged in a pattern of behavior that, quote, looked like obstruction of justice as a way of life. Tony . And now the Justice Department is asking a federal judge for an emergency order to block the books publication claiming it will damage National Security. The book has already been shipped to book sellers and is due to go on sale tuesday. Boltons publisher, Simon Schuster, a division of viacom cbs calls the government lawsuit frivolous and politically motivated. Paula reid is at the white house for us. Good morning. What is the president saying about all of this . Good morning, tony. In an interview last night, the president dismissed bolton as a liar. But his lastminute efforts by the administration to block the release of this book have not prevented it from landing in the hands of over half a dozen reporters. Now bolton refused to voluntarily participate in impeachment proceedings, but in this book, he says the president should have been investigated for matters far beyond ukraine. And he details multiple instances where he believes the president put his own interests ahead of the countrys. In the nearly 600page book obtained by cbs news, former National Security adviser john bolton provides a detailed criticism of the Trump Administration from inside highlevel meetings. He describes the president as erratic and stunningly uninformed. Including one instance where mr. Trump asked if finland was part of russia. In an interview with fox news wednesday night, the president had his own accusations against bolton. Terrible, terrible thing that he did. But he broke the law. Very simple. I mean, as much as its going to be broken. This is highly classified. Reporter in a latenight tweet, the president called boltons book made up of lies and fake stories. Describing the events that resulted in the impeachment inquiry, bolton write trump wasnt in favor of sending ukraine anything until all the russia investigation materials related to clinton and biden had been turned over. And in another episode that bears striking similarities, bolton recounts how the president asked china to buy a lot of american Agricultural Products to help him win farm states in 2020. Theres nobody ever been tough on china like ive been tough on china. Reporter in 2016, President Trump ran on a platform of being tough on china, but bolton describes him pleading with xi to ensure hed win. Bolton argues these events should have been investigated by congress and could have provided a greater chance to persuade others that high crimes and misdemeanors had been perpetrated. But bolton refused to voluntarily participate in impeachment proceedings. Democrats called the new details stunning but saved their harshest criticism for bolton. Curious to me that now he has something to say when he could have stepped forward as a patriot when the stakes were high and the president was on trial, and he ran and hid in the other direction. Thank you, john bolton, for being the firefighter that shows up to the building thats already burned with a fire hose and saying, im here to help. Reporter bolton offered to participate in the Senate Proceedings but only if subpoenaed. And Senate Republicans blocked that option. Now some republicans, like representative gates, are dismissing bolton as a disgruntled employee who has an ax to grind. Anthony . Paula, thank you. Cbs news chief washington correspondent Major Garrett joins us from the nations capital. Major, good morning. As National Security adviser bolton took very detailed notes in realtime. What stood out to you the most in this book . Well, the political argument is going to be about china because the Trump Campaign has already started attacks against joe biden, Presumptive Democratic nominee as weak on china. And boltons comments about the sense trump has about the direction of his administration with china will be politically damaging in the immediate aftermath of this book. Other parts of this book reinforce things written by other authors but john bolton is not omarosa. John bolt an is not anonymous. He was a National Security adviser. Worked closely with the president and all his National Security team day after day after day. And its worth remembering, he auditioned for this job for more than a year on fox news and persuaded the president to hire him because he believed the president really had an America First National Security Foreign Policy agenda. One of the things that comes across in this book is boltons estrangement from trump after he realized that really wasnt what the president was most interested in. According to bolton, it was only anything that benefited President Trump, not necessarily the United States or its longterm National Security interests. As paula pointed out, major, half a dozen this is a cbs news special report. Im Anthony Mason in new the Supreme Court just decided the future of a federal program that protects more than 600,000 people brought to the u. S. Illegally as children. The court has ruled in favor of the socalled daca program. Jan crawford read the high courts ruling. What are the justices say . A 54 decision with Justice Roberts siding with the liberal wing. What did they say . Reporter you have several justices writing differently and joining parts of the opinion. The chief justice, the conservative chief justice has written this opinion joined in full by several of the liberal justices to decide that daca recipients, hundreds of thousands of people who are brought here as children are entitled to the protections of the law, that the Obama Administration extended to them. The Trump Administration, of course, tried to rescind the daca program and open up these people to threat of deportation. But the Supreme Court today in a lingy ruling with multiple opinions by other justices decided that the Trump Administration basically went about it the wrong way. That they didnt explain their reasoning, so its not a broad decision, yet it does remove the immediate threat of deportation for these hundreds of thousands of people who came here as children. And it also leaves this issue open now for the Trump Administration to assuming that theyre going its going to be in office for awhile to go back at it again and try to rescind it again. And it also puts this issue back into the hands of congress, of course, the Obama Administration implemented daca because congress failed to act. They wrote lengthy legal opinions then Janet Napolitano explaining why the president had legal authority, president obama, to implement the daca program and as we saw, 600,000 or 700,000 people who came here under ages 16 with no criminl records, at least graduated from high school or were veterans were able to take part in this program to get work permits and basically stay in this country without that immediate threat of deportation. When the Trump Administration tried to rescind it, you saw multiple states, california, new york, here in the District Of Columbia File Lawsuits saying that that rescission was unlawful because they didnt go about it according to the right procedures that is a decision. The Supreme Court has now led by the conservative chief justice who, again, has surely a decision that will disappoint many conservatives has joined with some liberals for this majority, tony. It is a surprising outcome. I just must say coming on the heels of the major ruling on monday, again, with conservatives joining liberals, the conservative chief justice joining liberals in that ruling on whether or not gays, lesbians, transgender people can be, you know, basically fired for their Sexual Orientation or gender identity now we have another decision today written by the conservative chief justice rejecting arguments by the Trump Administration. Jan, is it a surprise to have Justice Roberts siding with the liberal justices on this . Reporter i would say, no, not completely, because the chief justice has, you know, sided with liberals in some of these major cases before, like i said on monday, in the gay rights case involving on the job discrimination, remember obamacare, the first where he sided with liberals to preserve that signature achievement of president obama, so i would say its not necessarily a surprise, but, again, other justices see this in the same way he does today. Yeah, all right. Jan, jan crawford, thank you very much from our Washington Bureau on the Supreme Courts decision on the daca program. Our coverage women continue on our 24hour streaming network cbs and can you watch it at cbsnews. Com or onour cbs news app. There will be more to come on your local news on this cbs station and tonight on the cbs evening news with norah odonnell. Many of you will return thousand to cbs this morning. This has been a cbs news special report. Im Anthony Mason, cbs news, new york. Announcer for news, 24 hours efore his death, ryshard brooks was very candid about his struggle with the Justice System that he believed was unfair and cruel. Im Rayshard Brooks. 27 years of age. I have three kids. You know, im happily married. Now i need somewhere to stay he was speaking with the representatives of reconnect, a tech startup focused on criminal justice reform. Brooks spent nearly four months behind bars at that time after pleading guilty to charges, including false imprisonment in 2014. He was later sentenced to a year in prison for credit card fraud. He spoke about his incarceration and the impact on being on parole on his mental state. I want, you know, things to be better, you know, within probation and parole and also monitoring. I just feel like some of the system could, you know, look at us as individuals. We do have lives, you know. Its just a mistake we made. And, you know, not just do us as if we are animals. You know, lock us away or lock monitor them. I feel like it should be a way for you to have some kind of person, like a mentor assigned to you to keep your track keep you in the direction you need to be going. Im not the type of person to give up. You know, and i am going to keep going until i make it to where i want to be. Boy, brooks said he was paying his, quote, debt to society and that he hoped he could soon make up for some lost time. Tony, i watched the whole thing. Its worth taking a look at because you get to see him as a human being. He admits he made some mistakes. The problem is with men of color when youre sentenced on parole, let the punishment fit the crime. Quite often the punishment doesnt fit the crime and any interaction with police while on parole means youre going back to prison. And thats why theres some speculation from people that knew him that maybe thats why he resisted when they put the handcuffs on because he didnt want to go back to prison as hes turning his life around. You get to see him as a human being and thats why its so important for people to see this tape, tony. Yeah, i think its an important point. Just seeing those few seconds we just showed, hes a vibrant presence, and clearly missed by his family. I think about the video that we just saw, the expanded video of the officers and the testimony. Alleging after he was shot, he was kicked and the officer said, i got him. It calls to mind this warrior mentality we hear about in police departments. And thats inconsistent with longterm community relations. Thats something people are looking at right now, gayle. Uhhuh. I was struck, gayle and tony, by his request essentially that theres more mentorship for people coming out of prison. Me, too. He talked a lot in that interview about how you how alone you feel when you are trying to put your life back together and that while they watch you, they dont really help you. And that really struck me. All right. Tulsa, oklahoma anthony, anthony, before you go to break. Sorry, gayle, yeah. I was going to say before you go to break, i know the delay is a little dicey. He was 27, and the officer who shot him was also 27. Both very young men starting their lives. Yeah. It all came down to one critical moment. All right. Turning to tulsa, oklahoma. The city expects 100,000 people this weekend for President Trumps Campaign Rally and the citys juneteeth celebration. The state is activating up to 250 National Guard troops to help with security while local officials worry about all those people spreading the coronavirus. Omar villafranca is in tulsa outside the arena where the president will hold his first rally in more than three months. Omar, quite a big crowd gathering in that city, isnt there . Good morning. There is. The crowd is behind me and theyre starting to stack up. Its several dozen people here. Theyre starting to camp out and thats a concern. Because here in tulsa county, theyve seen a spike in cases with people in the age group of 18 to 34. Obviously, thats a big concern. Of course, with the president s rally and the counterprotests and juneteeth celebrations this weekend, they are expecting a lot of people in that age group. Now oklahoma is one of 18 states that has seen an increase in cases in nearby texas, hospitalizations are up 85 since memorial day. Arizonas sevenday average rate of positive tests is over 17 . Thats nearly four times the national average. The Trump Campaign is requiring Ticket Holders to sign a waiver saying theyll not sue if they contract the coronavirus. And before they go into the center behind me theyll have their temperatures taken, given sanitizer and a mask but its not mandatory to wear that mask inside. Tony . All right, omar, thank you very much. Ahead how the heated debate over whether to wear a face mask has become a new marker of divisions in our what makes you, you . Your cells. Trillions of them.
