Frankly, i cant believe what hes saying. I dont know anybody, democrat or republican, that would take that kind of meeting with not only a Foreign Government but a foreign adversary. Whos a friend that i had respected and they said would you please sit down to discuss information for the campaign, id think about it.

President trump is headed home from paris with the russia investigation still hanging over his administration and his family. The president and first lady watched a military parade this morning celebrating bastille day, the French National holiday. It was the last event of a twoday visit with french president ial Emmanuel Macron. While in paris mr. Trump responded to questions about his oldest sons attempt to create damaging Campaign Information about Hillary Clinton from russian sources. Mark phillips is along the parade route on the Champs Elysees. Mark, good morning. Reporter good morning. Well, donald trump may enjoy a parade as much as anyone else, but behind the marching bands here was the drumbeat of the alleged russian collusion scandal that continues to dog this presidency. Its a great show of french and also this year of american power. A grand parade celebrating two great Historic Events mate seem like a good place to forget about those niggling concerns back home. But those concerns paraded along the Champs Elysees with french and american troops here to commemorate the french revolution and the entry of the u. S. Into world war i 100 years ago. The meeting during the Election Campaign between the president s son donald jr. And a russian lawyer promising dirt on Hillary Clinton has hung over this visit like a cloud of bad news. As far as my son is concerned, my son is a wonderful young man. Reporter the president had to spend a large part of his time here defending his son. The meeting produced no useful dirt, he said, and was just part of the nasty business of politics. Its called Opposition Research or Even Research into your opponent. I have only been in politics for two years. But ive had many people call up, oh, gee, we have information on this factor or this person or frankly hillary. Reporter the russian scandal is just one of the president s problems here. He was also given a history lesson. The u. S. Entry into world war i began a century of involvement in European Affairs that many fear donald trump is trying to reduce p just as he is ending the american involvement in the paris accords to try to limit the effects of Climate Change. On that, perhaps to offer some encouragement to his host, french president Emmanuel Macron, he dangled the slim prospect he might change his mind. Yeah, i mean, something could happen with respect to the paris accord. Well see what happens. Reporter this was supposed to be a quick and easy little trip to commemorate history. Instead it turned into an intense Political Drama very much in the troubles of today. Nothing seems to be easy for this white house lately. Mark phillips in paris. Thank you. The president s soninlaw Jared Kushner is drawing new attention for his Campaign Meetings with foreign officials. Cbs news has confirmed a report that kushner updated the foreign contacts list of his security clearance form three times. He added more than 100 names after mentioning zero contacts on his original form. The top democrat on the Senate Intelligence committee is asking kushner and donald trump jr. For documents on last years meeting with a lawyer whos said to have had ties with the kremlin. Senator mark warner said he expects trump jr. And kushner to testify to congress. The president s lawyers reportedly learned of that meeting more than three weeks ago. Mr. Trump says he first heard of it just a few days ago. The president told reporters on his flight to paris that health care is more difficult than peace in the middle east. This morning he focused on gop lawmakers tweeting after all these years of suffering through obamacare republican senators must come through as they have promised. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill with reaction to the newest republican plan to replace obamacare. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. Gop leaders did not get the reception they were hoping for. One Senate Republican holdout said hes not sure whether the new bill is any bettern original, while other holdouts said they want to wait to see what the Congressional Budget Office thinks of the bill next week before they make up their minds. And if they dont come around, its unclear whether theres a plan c. We urge every member of the United States senate to roll their sleeves up and get this bill to the president s desk and get it there soon. Reporter the white house announced its support for the partys new Health Care Bill even as some gop senators held back. How do you feel about the bill, senator . Reporter maine senator Susan Collins said she will vote no. So did kentuckys rand paul. Do you think the new version is better than the old version . No, i think its worse. I mean, the old version repealed most of the obamacare taxes. This repeals about half the obamacare taxes. Reporter the bill uses that tax revenue to pay for opioid addiction treatments, and it puts an additional 70 billion into a fund to stabilize premiums on the individual market. But it does not roll back the deep medicaid cuts in the first version, a key Sticking Point for at least half a dozen moderates. We havent come to a decision at this point. Reporter the only holdout who has gone from no to yes so far is texas conservative ted cruz. The new bill includes his proposal to let insurers offer cheaper plans with fewer benefits. I think weve made very significant progress, expanding choices, expanding options, expanding competition and reducing premiums. Reporter but his backing wont be enough to keep the bill alive. And that has even supporters of the bill like Lindsey Graham casting about for alternatives. Everybodys looking for an idea that is more republican and does not run into the concept youre taking money from poor people to give it to rich people. Reporter some moderates are mystified by the fact that Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell did not address their chief concern, medicaid, in this new version. And that has led some to speculate, jeff, that perhaps he has always known that getting to 50 votes was a long shot and hed rather fail if thats whats going to happen with a more conservative bill than a more moderate one. Nancy cordes, thank you very much. A lawyer for a person of interest in the case of four men missing in pennsylvania says his client confessed to killing them. 20yearold Cosmo Dinardo said im sorry yesterday as he left the courthouse.

Reporter an anonymous source with firsthand knowledge of the confession told the Associated Press dinardo sold marijuana to the victim but he felt cheated or threatened during the transactions. The source said the men were killed separately and a coconspirator was involved in three of the killings. Did he act alone . I cant answer that. Reporter Text Messages obtained by cbs this morning show dinardo had been part of a group chat set up by friends of the missing men when asked if he was worried about his buddy dean fin charro dinardo called him a pillpopping junkie who probably just jumped parole.

Daniel valbuena worked with finocchiaro. Im going to miss him. I feel bad. I just want to be strong for him because he was a strong kid, you know.

And of course they are still working to identify the remains in the grave at this hour. Bianna . A tragedy for that community. Demarco, thank you.

The river went from below flood stage to above major flood stage in four hours. This is main street, and look at all the water. But as fast as the water rose, weather experts say it could be gone by saturday night. A new wave of thunderstorms tore through the midwest overnight. The torrential rain was relentless in areas already covered in water. A view from above central ohio shows the widespread damage there. A carnival, a High School Football field, and several homes were immersed under inches of water. It just wouldnt stop. You know, you just keep saying oh, please, just stop, stop.

Some cars were left stranded. To the northwest in wisconsin the fox river reached record levels, cresting at more than 17 feet. That is two feet above the highest level recorded. House Speaker Paul Ryan returned to his home state to tour the areas devastated by the storm. This happened so fast, it really, really happened so fast that so many people were caught off guard. So its a real blessing that we did not have the kind of loss of life or injury that could have happened. The second time weve done this in almost seven years. Reporter for some people in lincolnshire just north of chicago paddling was about the only way home. Were going to pray that this is it, this is high as it goes. Nobody else needs more water. Its done enough damage. Reporter back here in findlay, ohio i noticed a window was open on the second story of a building here in downtown that was surrounded in water, and i yelled for the person to see if they were okay. And the guy said, yeah, im fine. His name was robert. He said, im headed to work. And sure enough, a few minutes later the door opened and here came robert with his bike over his shoulder. Norah, he said, i work in the plastics business. And he said, nobody pays my bills. Come hell or high water, he said, im on my way to work. There you go. Thats right. People have got to get to work. David begnaud, as always, thank you so much. A civil rights assistant education secretary is apologizing for comments she made about Campus Sexual Assault. Candice jackson told the New York Times that 90 of Campus Sexual Assault allegations fall into the category of we were both drunk. In her apology she called those remarks flippant. Education secretary betsy devos met yesterday with victims of Sexual Assault and students who were wrongly accused. The Trump Administration may roll back obamaera guidelines on Campus Sexual Assault. Jan crawford is at the education department. Jan, good morning. Reporter well, good morning. So the Obama Administration issued these guidelines back in 2011, but in the years since critics say they have swept up innocent students who are wrongly accused. And yesterday as devos rethinks all of this, she met with people on both sides of this heated debate. This is an issue were not getting right in its entirety. Reporter education secretary betsy devos put it simply. For universities investigating college Sexual Assault something has to change. We need to get this right for students. We need to get this right for families. We need to get this right for institutions. Reporter critics say the guidelines, however well intentioned, have gone awry, creating a new class of victims, students who are wrongly accused. When i finally found out that i was being expelled, it was like something hit me in the gut. You know, i didnt expect it because it wasnt the truth. Reporter former student Jonathan Andrews says he was falsely accused of Sexual Assault in 2015. He met thursday with secretary devos, hoping she rolls back the obamaera guidelines that changed how colleges handle Sexual Assault cases. The pendulum has swung so far to one side that its guilty until proven innocent in many cases. Reporter the 2011 guidelines lowered the standard of proof for Sexual Assault and all but denied crossexamination of witnesses. Supporters say the guidelines are necessary to protect and empower Sexual Assault victims. My rapist lived in my dorm. I had to see him every day. Reporter Alissa Peterson is one of those victims. Yesterday her organization protested outside the department of education to persuade devos to keep the guidelines in place. It outlines our rights in plain language to accommodations, to counseling. Those have enormous consequences for survivors. Reporter but veteran Civil Liberties attorneys like nadine strasen, former head of the aclu, says theres a better way to protect the victims and the rights of the accused. We have to avoid miscarriages of justice in either direction. We should get colleges out of this business and do it through the criminal justice system. Reporter and one other statistic looming over all of this, more th
