If you are running to be president or you are president of the united states, words can have tremendous coue reporter that was Hillary Clinton in iowa today, reacting to what donald trump said yesterday at a rally in north carolina. If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although, the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, i dont know. Yesterday, we witnessed the latest in a long line of casual comments from donald trump that cross the line. Reporter trump argued he was only talking about political took note of trumps comments. The inference the violence arises in an atmosphere of suspicion that trump helped create, one in which the g. O. P. Nominee warned supporters of abridged Second Amendment rights if his opponent is elected. She basically wants to take your safety away. She wants to take your guns away. Reporter he also warns of a fraudulent november election. And im afraid the election is going to be rigged. I have to be honest. To either charge. When it comes to the language of running for and being president , precision is key. Every word is scrutinized for obvious and hidden meaning. Martin medhurst studies president ial rhetoric at baylor university. For a president its even more severe, because when a president misspeaks, or is ambiguous in ways that are not intentional, he risks putting the country in great harm. Reporter modern u. S. President s have something akin to a stock phrase on this front. A message to the people of iran is clear. Let me be as clear as i can be. Reporter to clarify one important part of the story, the secret service said today it will take no formal action about trumps comments. Scott on twitter, trump denied a report the agency spoke with the campaign about the matter. Pelley Major Garrett with some clarity for us tonight. Major, thank you. The state Department Released e mails today from one of Hillary Clintones a conservative group sued to get them, but whether the messages expose corruption or just mundane government business depends on which campaign youre listening to. Heres nancy cordes. Some of these were really, really bad, and illegal. Reporter the Trump Campaign says the new emails show Clinton Foundation donors got special treatment at the state department. They point to this exchange between Top Foundation official doug band, and two of secretary band reaches out in 2009 on behalf of a job seeker, writing that it is important to take care of this person whose name is redacted. Huma abedin writes back assuring band that state Department Personnel have been sending him options. Its called pay for play. Reporter but the clinton Campaign Says the job seeker was not a donor. He was a 20something former advance staffer to both bill and Hillary Clinton who had nothing to do with the foundation. And state Department Says they get job referrals from outside sources all the time. Its not unusual for candidates to be recommended to the department through a variety of avenues. Reporter in the second exchange, band is looking to put a Billionaire Foundation donor in contact with state officials, writing, we need Gilbert Chagoury to speak to the substance person regarding lebanon. Abedin responds, its jeff feltman, the ambassador. Im sure he knows him. Mike pence. That favors were done by state Department Officials for foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation. Reporter clinton aides insist that the wellconnected Gilbert Chagoury was not looking for a favor, but he had information about lebanon that he wanted to share. The Clinton Campaign argues trump is hyping trump is hyping underhelming e mails to detract from her growing list of republican endorsements. A former coalition of former and current g. O. P. Officials say theyll work togethe pelley nancy cordes, thanks. A drama has been unfolding at trumps headquarters. The trump tower in new york, a reallife spiderman paid a visit. Tony decopolo is there. Tony. For nearly three hours this afternoon, an unidentified man, quickly nicknamed the human fly, scaled the the trump power. A 58story building in the middle of downtown manhattan. Headquarters of the republican nominee donald trump. He used suction cups and high end climbing gear to make it about 16 stories up. And the n. Y. P. D. Used about everything they could think of to stop him. That included cutting a hole in a vent, using a very long ladder, commandeering a Window Cleaning platform, and finally popping panes of glass out of the side of building and dragging him in. As of this moment, he is now inside the building and secured and we are still waiting to learn more about his identity. He fell about 40 floors short of the top of the building. Again he has not been identified and his motivations are not known at this time. Scott, he had about 40 floors still to go if he hoped to reach the top. Pelley no word yet on the reason for this stunt. In wisconsin, it wasnt even close last night. House Speaker Paul Ryan easily beat back a republican primary challenge. He defeated businessman paul nehlen by 70 points. In another important story u. S. Led Coalition Says that isis is losing fighters every day. Lieutenant general Sean Mcfarland said 45,000 isis fighters have been killed in iraq and syria in two years of bombing. U. S. Special forces are also on the ground in syria, and for the first time, we have extensive video of them training local soldiers to fight isis. The trouble is, the video came from isis itself. Reporter the isis propaganda video says these are u. S. Backed Syrian Rebels headed toward the isis stronghold of albukamal before theyre stopped short by a hail of gunfire and forced to retreat. The 20minute video also appears to show american and British Special forces with their new syrian army recruits at a Training Camp in jordan. We have blurred their faces to isis has not. You can start over. Reporter one scene shows a blond man described as an american coaching a syrian fighter on how to speak in front of a camera. Hand movements are no problem, he tells his trainee in arabic but try not moving your legs. Isis could have seized the video off rebel fighters. More worrying is that it could have been the work of an insider says, cbs National Security has isis been able to penetrate syrian rebel forces and get inside of these Training Camps . That poses a whole host of sort of security concerns because you run the risk, once they have access to the training sights its a counterintelligence problem and a security problem. Reporter the new syrian army has been americas latest hope in fighting isis on the ground, specializing in counter and equipment to do it. But the video also alleges that some of those very weapons fell into the hands of isis after the rebel forces faced a crippling defeat last month. Thousands of rounds of ammunition, mortars, rocket propelled grenade launchers, satellite phones, even camera drones. But the video itself may be just as damaging. It has to produce an internal investigation to understand how did this happen and why and how you owe that to the security of the trainers. Reporter we contacted u. S. Military command in baghdad, scott. They told us theyre aware of the video but cant comment on its authenticity. Furthermore, they cannot and will not discuss the Ongoing Missions of special operations forces. Pelley Charlie Dagata in our london newsroom tonight. Charlie, thank you. Today, the u. S. Justice department unloaded on baltimores Police Department, accusing officers there of this comes after prosecutors dropped all charges against officers in the case of a black man whose neck was inexplicably broken in a police van. Jeff pegues is following this. Reporter the department of justice investigation began after the death of freddie gray and the violence that followed. But federal Officials Say the Baltimore Police department has been troubled for years. The 164page report says officers routinely make stops, searches and arrests without the required justification. Of 300,000 pedestrian stops from january 2010 to may 2015, federal investigators found that roughly 44 were made in two small, predominantly African American neighborhoods. African americans accounted for 82 of all traffic stops, despite being only 60 of the driving age population. Gupta says unnecessary stops sometimes led to violent confrontations. Officers frequently resorted to physical force when a person did not immediately respond to verbal commands. Even when the person was posing no imminent threat to the officers or other. Reporter in one case during a traffic stop a woman was strip searched on the street but after the search found no evidence of wrongdoing, she was released with a repair order for her we lived it. We know. Reporter Community Activist ray kelly says the findings show what many in the community have complained about for years. Are you surprised it took this long for people to listen . Im sad that it took this long, and im still not convinced that people are going to listen. Reporter baltimores Police Commissioner kevin davis says he has already begun the changes. And some of the more egregious acts described in the and those Police Officers have been removed and no longer work for the Baltimore Police department. Reporter the report also faulted a zerotolerance approach to policing, which it said began here about 16 years ago. But, scott, several other big city Police Departments use similar tactics which have led to allegations of discrimination. Pelley jeff pegues in baltimore for us. Jeff, thank you.

Reporter the city now has whats the conversation you have to have with the people of ferguson versus your officers .
