Theres no speaking walk around. I walked on to the ground, said hi to people. Did not go the west wing, did not talk to the president. Reporter devin nunes said it was not a secret he visited a secure location at the white house last tuesday to review classified documents. I needed a place i could go and find this information and review it. Reporter the congressman wouldnt valley his source but says there is evidence that agencies under the Obama Administration had intercepted communications involving members of the Trump Transition Team but he dismissed President Trumps allegations that president Obama Wiretapped trump tower. That never happened. Reporter nearly a week after nunes briefed the president on the new information member adam schiff says nunes has yet to share the information. Not just an unwillingness to share information. Need terrify democrats or republicans have seen what the chairman is referring to. Rope he believes nunes should recuse himself from the investigation. This is a decision i dont reach lightly and im very unhappy frankly to have gotten to this point. Reporter democrats are accusing nunes of trying to shield the president.

You dont want to go there. Reporter and later today President Trump will roll back those regulations, a Campaign Promise that won coal mining industrial states like West Virginia and pennsylvania. Charlie. Good morning. Good to be with you. What does this do for the president in the political context of what happened last week, this rolling back of environmental regulations . Its an interesting time for the president right now. Hes facing a lot of different challenges from a lot of Different Directions and trying to find, frankly a goodwin he can give his supporters after the debacle of this Health Care Law in the last week. He wants to find something he can deliver on very quickly in order to change the narrative. What does it do to the environment, Climate Change and the planet . I think this is going to be an interesting question Going Forward when it comes to these dirt accords. The real question a lot of people have about Climate Policy is whether we can deliver on the kind of changes we need to achieve and whether that can to be done through government regulation at all. A lot of skepticism on the right can be achieved through accords like the paris agreement. Instead they are looking at Technological Advancement and other changes in order to increase the kind of health and clarity that we have on the environment. There are calls for devin nunes to recuse himself from this investigation. Where do you see its going. Is it necessary to have legitimacy . You do. Right now we do have an investigation when it comes to the russian side of things from the fbi and james comey. When it comes to these type of calls its more a representation of parcy an interests of democrats. In the past powers of minority in congress to influence Administration Come from investigative side. Thats whats going on here. Chairman nunes is someone who has a lot of trust within the Republican Coalition as being someone who is not a camera hog or someone who chases headlines. Thats one of the reasons why he got this job in the first place. But theres a lack of transparency. There is at this point on his part. But he has a history of cultivating intelligence sources within the community. He was clear source of the information that related to the effect of intelligence when it came to isis a few years ago. One of the real questions Going Forward is what really matters here. The question about Donald Trumps tweet . I dont think it is at all. Theres an open question if what chairman nunes is claim cigarette correct if there really was intelligence information that was distributed throughout the agency and he now claims in an interview yesterday to the Obama White House yesterday itself thats something that deserves further inquiry and why we need more transparency in this process. He hasnt discovered anything and he hasnt shared it with anybody. Really, you dont think so . He showed up at the white house. Yes. And received some information from the source that hes not disclosed either republican or democrat from the committee. If its that relevant shouldnt he share of the committee. Hes been clear that obama did not wiretap trump tower. Nunes has been clear. That doesnt have anything to do with whats going on here. He vieweD Information thats on via available through the executive branch. Not available on capitol hill. I never heard of that. I mean members of the Intelligence Committee go all the time up to capitol hill and give them briefings in secure facilities. Absolutely. I think in this case he has a source within the Intelligence Community that he claims brought this information to him. Hes reviewed it. Taken down the document numbers involved. He wants other members of the committee to view it. I think in this case hes very protective of an internal source. But thats less important than having real clarity. What do you think this information will tell us . Ultimately that it may tell us this was not that big of a deal. This was a situation where they, that they had incidental collection of information, perhaps conat own meetings with the Trump Transition Team, where they expected certain family members to end up within the white house team. We dont know that until we actually have this information and thats one of the reasons we need more clarity from this committee, from chairman nunes sooner than later. Ben thank you so much. Senator john mccain joins us ahead. We ask him about the status of the Russian Investigation and why he expects a lot more shoes to drop. Ill speak with House Speaker paul ryan tomorrow about the Health Care Bill and whats next on the republican agenda. You can see parts of my interview thursday only on cbs this morning. A manhunt under way for the gunman responsible for an ambush style attack overnight on two Florida Police officers. Fellow miamidade officers used pickup truck to rush their wounded colleagues to the hospital. Bullet holes could be seen in the car where the plainclothes officers were sitting at the time of the attack. We go to Jackson Memorial where the officers are being treated. Reporter good morning. Those officers were rushed to this hospital in the back of a pickup truck. This is where they were dropped off and with some help they were actually able to walk through those hospital doors. The director of the Miamidade Police Department Says the attack on his officers was unprovoked. We have two officers shot. Two officer shot. Reporter this video shot from outside the hospital shows a black ford pickup truck racing towards the emergency room. With two injured Miamidade Police officers in the bed. The undercover officers who were operating as part of the Homicide Task forces gang unit were conducting surveillance inside an unmarked car, in a notoriously gang ridden area when Officials Say they were targeted. The end result of their operation was that they were apparently shot in an ambushstyle attack. Reporter one of the miamidade officers was able to return fire but authoritiesre attacker was hit. Certainly trying moment for us. We got lucky the officers will survive. Reporter police have yet to make any arrests. But last night the director of the Miamidade Police department pleaded with the community for help in identifying the shooter. We need you now to step up to the plate. These are the people that are causing that havoc in our community and we won stop. This will not deter us from doing our jobs. This will ignite a bigger fire within us to protect our citizens. Reporter the officers injuries are not life threatening. Police say its unclear whether the suspects knew whether they were targeting police. Either way they are clearly dangerous and right now officers are still searching the area where the shooting happened. Charlie. The u. N. Human rights chief is speaking out against a massive loss of civilian lives in western mosul, iraq. He says at least 307 civilians have died and 273 have been wounded e american brought back iraqi forces to fight isis militants out of the city. Jim mattis said yesterday the United States has been sensitive to civilian casualties. We are keenly aware that every battlefield where an enemy hides behind women and children is also a humanitarian field and we go out of our way to always do everything humanly possible to reduce the loss of life. An investigation is under way to find out if a series of air strikes earlier this month killed more than 100 civilians. A mother says tsa at at dallasft. Worth airport went too far in treating her family like dogs. She posted video to facebook showing an agent patting down her son. She said they were held at the checkpoint for about an hour causing the home miss their flight. Omar, good morning. Reporter good morning. The tsa says the procedure performed by that agent on video was part of the new standard patdown that went into effect earlier this month. Theres several variation. That touched a nerve with the mother who went through security at dfw on sunday with her son. We were treated with utter disrespect as if we were criminals. Reporter Jennifer Williamson turned her anger into action sunday recording a tsa officer patting down her 13yearold son at dallasft. Worth airport and posting it on facebook. I believe he was patted down excessively. They went over his sensitive areas a little more than necessary especially given he wasnt wearing bulky clothing or anything like that. Reporter williamson said the whole thing started when agents found a laptop in his book bag as it went through the scanning machine. They then said her son would have to sub to when a patdown even though he did the body scanner. She requested they screen him in other ways because he suffers from sensory processing disorder which makes him sensitive to touch. In the facebook video the agent explains the procedure and pats down his back side, front and down his legs. The supervisor who was observing them then instructs the man to complete the final step. Has per policy the tsa officer uses the back of his hand for pat douns over sensitive areas of the body. The tsa says the body cooperated during the screening process and all approved procedures were followed. As for the wait time in a statement the agency says the passengers were at the checkpoint for approximately 45 minutes which included the time it took to discuss screening procedures with the mother and to screen three carry on items that required further inspection. His first question to me was i dont understand why they did this. I dont know what i did wrong. And to me that was a sign of trauma for him to think that he had done anything wrong. Reporter the new procedures were put in place after a 2015 audit found there were serious security laps. Williamson has filed a complaints with the tsa but has not heard back.
