And we begin with todays eye opener, your world in 90. Mike flynn offers to sing and the president uses his tune. If youre not guilty of a crime, what do you need immunity for . President trump backs mike flynn. He said this was a pitch hunt. I think the American People see this for what it is. It is a truth hunt. Isis have got their hands on airport screeners to try to test devices. William on the drive. Pullup. She got it. Show got it, she got it one of the great upsets in history Mississippi State has ended the streak at 111, its over you havent picked us all year so just keep saying were not good enough. Violent clashes erupt outside of paraguays congress. People in virginia dealing with possible tornadoes. Look at the damage. The storm also dumped hail. An avalanche as its happening. A resident of juneau, alaska. The sail boat that slammed into the rondodo beach pier. And all that matters. Its an overtime at the buzzer by the littlest player in the building. Uconn is an incredible team. For me to make that shot again them is unbelievable. Im still in shock right now. On cbs this morning saturday. April fools day . Are you trying to fool somebody . The day we try to fool somebody by telling an outrageous lie. Or, as trump calls it, tweeting. Welcome, everyone. Im alex mason along with isis has made more progress in sneaking bombs inside laptop computers. Last month passengers flying to the u. S. Direct from eight muslim majority countries were banned from carrying on any electron ek ic devices larger ta cell phone. Terror groups are using Airport Security technology to test out their theories. Reporter u. S. Intelligence officials tell cbs news al qaeda is testing and perfecting a bomb to get past airport scanners. Exactly one week ago a ban went into place barring laptops, tablets and other Large Electronics from carryon luggage from flights to the airport and u. K. And north africa. U. S. Officials were concerned about a repeat of this. Last february a bomb concealed in a laptop detonated on board a somali airliner. U. S. Officials have been gathering information on the threat for some time. Some supporting intelligence was obtained in january in the u. S. Military raided yemen that killed ryan owens. For more on this threat were joined by ron hoscoe, a former assistant director of the fbi. Hes in our washington bureau. As you just heard kris van cleave say, how would terrorist groups get ahold of airport scanners . With the rapid expansion of isiss territory three years ago, it could be from some airport they took, some place like mosul, where one of these scanners or devices would have been in use. Could it be this werable to steal one through an insider, one that was to be delivered at an airport and it was never properly accounted for and it just drove away in the back of a truck and is being tested . And i think also we have to look to the opportunity for those associated with isis or particularly aqap, al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, who has been focused and a pick name of abraham al siri. They tried to kill him in drone strikes, thought he was dead but no proof of it. So there are real kerps that possibly terror insiders are testing in an ongoing manner in airports with either insiders or perhaps in small levels of these devices to see what gets through. Ron, the department of Homeland Security is working both seen and unseen. Do you have a sense of what those are . Sure. There are many layers. You think in terms of video coverage. They have behavior detection experts that are looking as we queue up in lines. They have viper teams. Certainly within the United States with us and the brits and other countries is a piece of that. The checking of flight manifests to see whos on and terror watch lists and the joint terrorism watch list all serve on the front end to prevent terrorists from getting in and share intelligence that might suggest a viable threat at a particular location directed toward a technical flight. Ron, thanks. My pleasure. Pressure continues to mount for former nash security adviser, mike flynn, to testify. President trump said its nothing but a witch hunt. Reporter while President Trump tries to make progress on policy goals, hes facing head winds into russian interference. General mike flynn, fired from the white house for misleading the Vice President says he wants protection from prosecution so he can tell congressional investigative committees what he knows and that has all of washington wondering what exactly that could be. The theft of american prosperity will end. Reporter President Trump signed two executive orders friday saying it strengthens the United States against trade abuse, but the president refused to comment on revelations that his former National Security adviser, Michael Flynn, is seeking immunity. Were you trying to tell the Justice Department to grant many immunity to Michael Flynn . The president did fire off this tweet asking that flynn should ask for immunity because the investigation was a witch hunt. Sean spicer dodged kwes when asked if he was trying to influence the decision. He said he wand hted him to immunity. Flynns lawyer released a statement saying flynn has a story to tell and confirmed negotiations are under way between his client and the house and Senate Intelligence committees. But even if flint is granted congressional immunity, he could still be prosecuted by the Justice Department. When you are given immunity, that means you probably committed a crime. During the campaign, both flynn and trump said immunity related to Hillary Clinton meant you were guilty of a crime. It doesnt look good. The witch hunt, i dont buy that either. Were just trying to get to the facts. Congressman adam schiff, the tom democrat on the House Intelligence Committee called flynns immunity why a grave and momentous step. Shi schiff went to the white house to review the evidence previously provided to devin nunes. Schiff called for the documents to are shared with the full intelligence committees. More challenges lie ahead. Next week President Trump meets with the chinese president at the maralago report in florida. President trump has already described these upcoming meetings as very difficult and has previously labeled china as a currency manipulator. Thanks, errol. The communication between President Trumps Campaign Team and russian elements are apparently increasing. Now it turns out the investigation has been going on even longer. Reporter cbs news has learned that fbi agents are looking into whether Trump Campaign associates were coordinating with russian operatives as early as march of 2016. Sources say agents are examining whether individuals sympathetic to the Trump Campaign directed hackers to specific information in democrat beiic Party Compute systems. At the time both mr. Trump and Hillary Clinton had emerged as their partys most likely nominees. According to this intelligence assessment, it was month when Russian Hackers began Cyber Operations and had stolen data from the dnc. Starting in june gucifer and wikileaks began hacking documents. Roger stone tweeted about john podesta trust me, it will soon be podestas time in the barrel. Then on october 7th, wikileaks began publishing podestas personal emails. It was the same day the director of security and nas intelligence publicly accused russia of carrying out the siecyber attac. Today sources say the fbi investigation is no where near over. It involves dozens of agents in washington, new york and london. The nsa and cia are also gathering intelligence from inside russia. Despite his denies, investigators believe the operation was authorized by russian president Vladimir Putin himself and involved both Cyber Attacks and information warfare. This is actually what happened to us. Reporter according to testimony yesterday before the Senate Intelligence committee, 15,000 operatives world wide participated in spreading false information and conspiracy theories online. Law enforcement sources say one theory is Trump Associates could have been motivated by money. Sources tell us the fbi wants to get the investigation absolutely right so that the public will trust the result, whatever that turns out to be. F for more on the trump investigation and the trump presidency, were joined by gabriel, National Political reporter. Good morning. Good morning. Flynns lawyer says he has a story to tell. What do you think is going on here . He clear lily has a story to tell but he is trying to make clear to people hes in the middle of all this and hes really the good guy in the situation. Well see a lot of jockeying to determine whether or not to give him that immunity. We need to see what story hes going to tell because Michael Flynn is at the center of the investigation. It has been a rocky week for devin nunes. Heeps resisted calls to remove himself. I think youre going to see continued divisions between the democrats and republicans on the house side. The democrats have essentially called for nunes to step aside, theyre saying hes too partisan, too tied to the white house and his actions moving forward are not going to be credible. So were not likely to see much coming together. U thiyou think he stays on a chairman of the committee in. None of the committee have called on him to step down but the democrats on the Committee Say why are we going to cooperate on this . How does an investigation Going Forward if you cant trust the chairman . Were going to see two probes, one from the democrats, one from the republican. Thats not ideal. Gabe, yesterday at the White House Press briefing, press Secretary Sean Spicer remained defiant as to the allegations that donald trump has made via twitter that the Obama White House somehow sr veiled members of his team. San spicer said members of mr. Obamas administration had done, quote, very, very bad things. Is there any proof of that at this point . Still no proof of that. The white house knows that these briefings in a way that theyve never been before are now important viewing for millions of people around the country. Theyre trying to get this message out there. Never befores has a Daily Press Briefing been thought of like this. There is a legislative agenda that has sort of been side lined by this. Of the failure of the effort to repeal obamacare, how much dj has that done to the idea of tax reform . Part of Obamacare Repeal was going to be using the numbers from the baseline. The white house is having a harder time dealing with republican members of congress that theyre going to need for tax reforms and democrats are even more hardened in their resistance to the white house. So it not impossible but its a pretty big climb. The president drktry took on members of the Freedom Caucus via twitter. How does that relationship go given he needs them to pass any of his legislate of priorities. I think youre going o see a lot of back room stuff where the white house is going to try and reach out to these folks. Realstically if that doesnt work, youre going to continue to see ratcheted up emotions on both sides, especially as lawmakers go home to their districts and hear from their actual constituents. The white house is in some case even suggesting maybe primary challenges are in order. High stakes chicken, if you will. Gabriel, thanks for being with us this morning. Thank you.
