The ranking democrat on the house intelligence committee, adam schiff sees behavior from the white house as suspicious.

On face the nation, john cornyn said the Intelligence Community hasnt decided whether to grant immunity to michael flynn, the president s former National Security adviser. He asked for immunity late last week and President Trump said i supported that request. Lets bring in our chief correspondent. It was interesting that the president encouraged flynn to seek immunity. How should we interpret that . The president s critics see this as much more smoke, what they hope is the fire that connects the president s team or the president himself with the russian efforts to influence the election. Another way to look at this, though, is in a highly partisan environment where there are two congressional investigations and a fbi investigation that mr. Flynn may have exposure in some way based on his other business dealings, which were still learning about after he left the white house, and in order to limit his exposure, his smart lawyer is trying to get a deal and that its basically, has more to do with the exposure that general flynn has than the exciting quality of what he may have to say. I want to turn now to the Supreme Court, john, before you go. The main senator, angus king who is considered a swing vote says he hasnt decided how hell vote. What are you watching for as we get closer to vote this week . I think what were watching for is basically whether the republicans can get enough Senate Democrats to avoid having to invoke the socalled Nuclear Option, which is to say changing the senate rules to make it so neil gorsuch could be confirmed with a simple majority rather than clearing the 60vote in a filibuster. They dont change the rules often, and this would be a big one, given what senator mcconnell anch mcconnell and cornyn have said about changing the rules like this. It would hurt the institution. So it would be a big deal. It looks hilike thats where wee headed. And its another sign in a partisan age your we thought wed gotten partisan in every possible way, this will be a new way, and you cant go back once you do it. John dickerson, thank you.

Weve been arguing for the last 17 years that we need to ban its use everywhere, and epa agreed with us, until a couple days ago. Reporter new epa director scott pruitt said in a statement by reversing the previous administrations steps to ban one of the most widelyused pesticides in the world, we are returning to using sound science in decision making. Many in agriculture agree. Its extremely safe. Its extremely effective. And because we have it we dont have to use some other products out there that can be more challenging. Reporter farmers say they dont have an alternative. Without this, theyre in trouble. It has been a very useful tool for farmers, no doubt about that. However, the overwhelming danger and hazard to children and Childrens Development does not justify its continued use. Reporter farmers say that on crops like these almonds, the pesticide is carefully sprayed following strict regulations, and the company that makes it, Dow Agri Sciences said when used as authorized, there are wide margins of protection for human health and safety.

Then carhart wants the hall of fame to take the ball back. I hope they accept the ball when im done with the project, and i can take my kids there and say dad made that.

The problem, gps made it easy for tourists by the tens of thousands to get closer to the landmark, creating mayhem in what was a quiet neighbor. People have knocked on the door to use the bathroom.

Reporter this is a stable offering horseback riding tours, but its also the easiest access point where you can get your best closeup with the sign.

Reporter inside this ice shanty in northern minnesota, theres a fish out of water. Oh, yeah, look at that. Reporter and im not talking about the walleye. Chris ingram dressed in his coat and boots with the tag still on appears equally out of place. He works for the Washington Post and the only reason hes here is base of an article he wrote in 2015. The article was about a seemingly innocuous u. S. Department of agriculture study. And in the article, chris concluded the absolute worse place to live in america is drum roll please, red lake county, minnesota. And that was it. I published a story, story goes up at like 9 32 on a monday. By 9 37 the hate mail started rolling in on social media. It was fast and furious like nothing id ever seen before. Reporter and from the same zip code. You get people who take it personally. Yeah, we take offense. How does this person have a clue . Reporter just about everyone in town took a shot at the messenger, except Jason Brumwell who took a different tack. I wanted him to come here and see it for himself, put his money where his mouth is, i guess. Reporter so jason invited chris for a visit, and chris agreed. Flew out for his first visit in august of 2015. So i pull up to the courthouse, get a car, theres a marching band playing. Reporter a marching band . There were no pitchforks, i was really happy. No torches, no nothing. Just a bunch of beaming, smiling people. And the weird thing about the trip, when i got back, i couldnt stop thinking about the place. Reporter which brings us to the most unbelievable part. At the time, chris and brianna were not happy living outside of d. C. They hated the long commutes and high cost of living. So last year they packed up their twin toddlers and moved to you guessed it red lake county. But this was the worse place in america. I thought it was the absolute worst place to live in america. Thats what the spreadsheet said. So coming out here and getting that ground truth changed my perspective on it. Reporter and you factor in the people. It did not factor in the people, no.
