Reporter the queen was out riding today. The palace will only say she was aware an interview took place and Prince Andrew will continue with his duties. Arrogant and naive were some of the other comments on the Prince Andrew interview. As for the public reaction, one poll out tonight, norah, says as many as 6 of people here believe what he said.

Tonight a cbs news investigation has uncovered a possible payto play scheme involving the Republican National committee and President Trumps choice for u. S. Ambassador to the bahamas. The nomination of billionaire Doug Manchester was stalled in the senate when the r. N. C. Reached out with a very ivpensive request. Jim axelrod has the story. Reporter when hurricane orrian ravaged the bahamas in september, Doug Manchester loaded up his private jet with supplies and headed to the hard hit country where he hoped to soon be the u. S. Ambassador. You know who papa doug is. Hes your big guy in town, folks. Hes great. E 1 m tohester, whoefe ckpa pr foo anlf manchesters nomation stalled, but his relief trip caught mr. Trumps attention. He tweeted, i would also like to thank papa Doug Manchester, hopefully the next ambassador to the bahamas. You must have loved reading that tweet. I did. R reporter three days later he was hit up by r. N. C. Chairwoman ronna mcdaniel. In an email, she asked, would you consider putting together id00,000 worth of contributions from your family to ensure we it our ambitious fundraising goal . Does any part of you feel if you had just cut the check for 500,000 that you would be the ambassador to the bahamas . No, because first of all, you have to get out of committee and you have to be voted on the floor. Its a big process. Reporter a process that he quickly addressed. He wrote back to mcdaniels request for 500,000. As you know, i am not supposed to do any, but my wife is sending a contribution for 100,000. Assuming i get voted out of the Foreign Relations committee on wednesday to the floor, we need u u to have the majority leader bring it to a majority vote. Once confirmed, i, our family, will respond. You know what this looks like. Well, it looks like that to tu, but my wife gave out a separate fund. And she, in fact, loves donald trump. We had concerns just about judgment, about demeanor. Reporter former senator bob corker chaired the Foreign Relations committee and held up manchesters nomination. We told him about Ronna Mcdaniels 500,000 fundraising pitch. The timing of that request obviously was not appropriate. Reporter even worse he says, res manchesters response. His big mistake copying ftaffers of two of the senators ho controlled his nomination, including idahos jim risch, the current chairman, alerting them to his willingness to donate more after confirmation. O i can only tell you that if i had received an email like that, there would have been a five lell alarm that went off. Reporter and thats exactly what happened. Senator risch notified the whitd manchester to withdraw. He officially pulled out last month, citing personal reasons. I love our president. I love our country. Reporter so how painful was it to have to withdraw . Hey, listen, politics is politics. Reporter in a statement, the r. N. C. Told us the chairwoman did not suggest to mr. Manchester in any way that it y thatmore quickly advance his confirmation if members of his family made a political lintribution. The r. N. C. Tells us it has returned the money his family donated earlier this year. Norah . Odonnell all right, jim. Thank you. There is still much more ahead on tonights cbs evening news.
