Good morning from the studio 57 newsroom at cbs news headquarters here in new york, good to be with you, im annemarie green. The white house now acknowledges President Trump was involved in drafting a misleading Statement Issued by donald trump jr. Concerning his meeting with a russian lawyer.

Hena doba is here in new york with the details. Good morning, hena. Good morning, annemarie. The u. S. Is offering its own show of force in the recent testing of north korea of not one but two missiles capable of hitting north america. The white house insists the diplomacy is still the first and much preferred option. Exactly one week after north korea launched its second recent missile test capable of reaching the United States, the air force is set to send an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile of its own this morning this morning. Despite this flexing of military mite, secretary of state Rex Tillerson insists the u. S. Is pushing for a peaceful dialogue with pyongyang. Were trying to convey to the north koreans, were not your enemy, were not your threat, but youre presenting an unacceptable threat to us. Over at the White House Press secretary Sarah Huckabee sanders is trying to con vial why the president offered input, he did not craft juniors first statement about a meeting with a russian lawyer. Critics call that initial account of the event misleading because it was stated it was about an adoption with no intent of getting political dirt on hillary clinton. The president weighed in as any father would based on the limited information that he had. There was some less controversial news on capitol hill. Senate lawmakers in a show of bipartisan support voted 952 to confirm christopher wray, President Trumps pick to lead the fbi. We need leaders with steel spines, not weak spine. I believe mr. Wray will be such a leader. The 50yearold former Justice Department lawyer who replaces james comey pledged during his confirmation hearing last month to remain independent from any political pressure. And wray also testified he was never asked to testify to loyalty to the president , but if he would have, he would have said no. Ahead on cbs this morning well talk with kelly an conway, counsel to the president , about the statement of donald trump jr. s meeting with the russian lawyer. A lawsuit details an alleged conspiracy between the trump administration, trump supporters, and the fox news channel. Chip reid has the story. The lawsuit claims President Trump personally encouraged fox news to publish a story that turned out not to be true. It claimed that a political staffer named seth rich was responsible for leaking the partys wikileaks in 2016 and was not the hackers. The goal was to help lift the cloud of the russia investigation. Sean hannity who is one of President Trumps biggest fans ran with the story. This blows the whole russian collusion narrative completely out of the water. But fox retracted the story just after a week admitting it did not meet journal is tick standards. The lawsuit was filed by former d. C. Police detective rod wheeler of fox news contributor. He investigated the case, but now he says they inaccurately reported his findings implicating rich because thats how the president wanted the article. Another fox commentator coordinated the effort by the president and fox to publish the story. Willards complaint says butowsky left him this voice mail on the 14th. A couple of minutes ago i got a note that we have the full attention of the white house on this, and tomorrow lets close this deal. The same day a text message from butowsky said the president just read the article. He wants the article out immediately. Butowsky now says he was kidding. Then press Secretary Sean Spicer said he admits to meeting in april but said the white house had nothing do with the story. Current press secretary Sarah Huckabee sanders was also asked about it. The president had no knowledge of the story and its untrue the the statement the white house had an involvement in the story. The accusation that fox news. Com published the story to help detract covering of the russia issue is completely erroneous. Chip reid, cbs news, the white house.
