Thats the cbs overnight news for this wednesday. For some of you the news continues. For others, check back with us a little later for the morning news and cbs this morning. Announcer this is the overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news, im michelle miller. A major deal between two pharmaceutical giants is now on hold after the Treasury Department changed the rules on american corporations relocating overseas. Obtain allergan for 160 billion and the deal would allow pfizer to relocate to ireland and save millions in taxes called corporate inversion. But the two drugmakers are now reviewing the options after president obama announced new rules governing the tax evading deals. This directly goes at what is called corporate inversions. Theyre not new. Simply put, in laymans terms tip its when big corporations acquire Small Companies and then change the address to another country on paper in order to go out of paying their fair share of taxes here at home. As a practical matter they keep most of their actual business here in the United States because they benefit from american infrastructure and technology and rule of law. They benefit from our research and our development and our patents. They benefit from american but they effectively renounce their citizenship. They declare that theyre based some where else. Thereby getting all the rewards of being an American Company what fulfilling the responsibilities to pay their taxes the way everybody else is supposed to pay them. When a company is exploiting loopholes like this it makes it harder to invest in the things that are going to keep americas going strong for future generations. It sticks the rest of us with the tab. And it makes hard working americans feel like the deck is stacked against them. In the news over the last couple of days, we have had another reminder in this big dump of data coming out of panama, that tax avoidance is a big global problem. Its not unique to other countries. Because frankly there are folks in america taking advantage of the same stuff. A lot of it is lee gachlt thats exactly the problem. Its not that theyre breaking the laws. Designed they allow people that they have got enough lawyers and enough accountants to wiggle out of responsibilities that ordinary citizens are having to abide by. Meanwhile, the massive release of financial documents, the Panama Papers, continues to cause outrage around the world. Millions of documents detail how some of the worlds richest people and powerful politicians used offshore Bank Accounts and Shell Companies to hide billions of dollars. Those implicated include the president of ukraine, Prime Minister of pakistan, and the late father of british Prime Minister david cameron. The Prime Minister of iceland faced such loud protests that he announced his resignation. At issue was a Shell Company in the Virgin Islands. Don dahler has more. Reporter anonymous insider passed off millions of internal documents which exposed a global network, 140 politicians and business with a panamanian law firm. Now concerned citizens are demanding answers from leaders caught up in the scandal. Demonstrators descended to protest their Prime Minister named in the Panama Papers investigations. He is one of a dozen current or former head of state who allegedly stashed away wealth and evaded taxes through offshore accounts. When journalists pressed the Prime Minister last month about reportedly selling a company in the Virgin Islands to his wife for 1, he walked out of the interview. The reports implicate, petro poroshenko, who could face impeachment proceedings. After the leaked documents show how the u. S. Backed leader, registered an offshore company on the same day scores of in 2014. The law firm at the center of the leak, mossack fanseca, specializes in offshore. Examining four decades worth of files. The documents show while russia was subject to u. S. Sanctions after it annexed crimea, associates of vladamir putin, ran a multibillion dollar Money Laundering ring. When it comes to governmental leaders there will be lots and lots of questions about the source of the fund. I think we scratched the surface of the beginning of the scandal. Right now, no americans have been named in the investigation. But the department of justice is reviewing the reports. Saying it takes very seriously all kred cal allegations of high level, foreign corruption that might have a link to the United States or the u. S. Financial system. Former treasury officer, chip ponsey. With the level of detail and specificity that has been reported, out of these papers, that it will be, there will be opportunities to identify. Into financial crime. Money laundering or fraud. Mossack fanseca, it said our business is regulated by several different oversight and enforcement agencies. Our firm has never been accused or charged in connection with criminal wrongdoing. Meantime, the Network Plans to place all documents on line next month available in a searchable database. New york senator Chuck Schumer wants a federal investigation before a new kind of gun is allowed to be sold. It looks just like a smartphone. Josh elliott has the the story. Reporter we should emphasize the gun in question is still in development, an actual working does not exist. That hasnt stopped Charles Schumer from asking to keep the weapon off the market. As big as most phones with a protective case. Ceo of ideal conceal. Allows it to unfold from a smart phone shape to fully functional weapon. Would allow an owner to carry it more freerly. Some people would take issue in the work place or some where else, i mean, it gives people an opportunity to avoid the conversation. Marketed for nefariuos purposes. Reporter Charles Schumer called for the department of jis tis, and bureau of alcohol, firearms and explosives whether this gun would violate federal law. There are two federal laws that might be applicable. A gun can be disguised like a pen or something else. The other says, that if the gun cant be detected as a gun, as it goes through security like at he responded in a staemt to cbs this morning. Saying i encourage senator schumers investigation as it will reveal ideal conceal will fall in line with atf guidelines and is therefore legal.

You have called women you dont like, fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals. Reporter at the very first Republican Debate back in august, fox news anchor megyn kelly posed this question to donald trump. Does that sound to you like the temperament of the man we should elect as president . Reporter it was a question that changed her life. What i say is what i say. Honestly megan, if you dont like it, sorry, i have been very nice to you i could not be based on the way you treated me. But i wouldnt do that. When he answered the way he did, tell meal what was going threat. A veiled threat. Because he said he might not be nice to me after this debate. I am not a fan of megyn kelly. I think she is a third rate reporter. Reporter for the past eight months donald trump has not been nice to megyn kelly. I dont like her. Reporter over and over again. You know you could see there was blood coming out of her blood coming out of her wherever. Reporter on twitter, he has called her sick. Overrated. And crazy. Megyn kelly has never directly responded to trumps attacks but she stand by the her question on his attitude about women. What i was trying to get at was the weaknesses of each of these candidates if they were to become the general election candidate. Whether i showcased it in the debate or not. But you have become part of the story too . Thats unfortunate. That was never my goal. Thats never a news persons goal. But you have to like being on the cover of vanity fair . I would be lying if i said it wasnt cool to see myself on the cover of vanity fair. What am i doing there . Bizarre. Breaking to night, two big things happened on the campaign trail. Reporter even before trump made her a household name, her show the kelly file on Fox News Channel was one of the most watched programs in cable news. Hi, i am bill oreilly. Reporter second only to the oreilly factor. Mr. Trump said the no, let me finish. Let me finish. Who is your audience . The viewer i picture in my mind when i do the kelly file is a woman who has had a long day, either with the kids or at work or both, she sits down, she gets her glass of chardonnay, she wants to consume the news have to work too hard for it. Her 2 million plus viewers tune tine see a self described independent with a reputation for asking tough questions to any one. Democrat and republican alike. What do you say to those who say you were so wrong about so much . So is the great relish on your part when you fact somebody down . I dent want to take anybody down. If you come on the show and lie or spin in a way that is dishonest there i am to stop you. Megyn kelly grew up catholic and middleclass ear albany, new york. I never really had huge aspirations. I remember my mother used to say they dont give scholarships for cheerleading, megan. Reporter life took on a new urgency at 15 when her father died unexpectedly. Devastating and sudden and just like a nuclear bomb going off in the family.

But was rejected. So, megyn kelly went on to study at Albany Law School and by her at one of the nations top firms. I really worked 16 hour days, 18 it wasnt that the firm made me do that. It was that i was making myself do it. Reporter because . Buzz i was competitive. I wanted to win.

Reporter her legal skills along with a willingness to take on some of americas big name conservatives. Quickly made kelly a rising star. No. The government the government doesnt decide to what is appropriate speech, that is not the way this country works. Reporter kellydoesnt hold back. And she is equally aggressive in her defense of fox news. I did and do believe there is a left leaning bias in news. In most of news. And i do you believe there is a rightwing bias out fox . No, i dont. Conservative bias fox. No, fair and balanced. Conservatives make no bones about their ideology. Does fox news have a closer with the Republican Party . Than it does with liberals and the Democratic Party . Well i think thats obviously true. Because you know, you see trump on our air every day. Kelly admits that trump attacks have boosted her profile. And no one agrees more than donald trump. I might be the best thing that ever happened to her. Who ever even heard of her before the last debate. One of our babysitters is from peru. And she came home one day and told us that she saw my name in the peruvian papers. Dont think that ever happened before this particular dustup. I will have to give him that point. Reporter but there are fears that have arisen from all the attention. Its not so much what he writes or says, its how he gins up anger among so many. It manifests in my life in several ways. Have there been threats against your life . Does that concern you . Some one is going to come shoot me down. But i do worry someone is going to try to hurt me in the presence of my children. How have you been affected by this trump stuff . It is frustrating. Still the 45yearold kelly and husband author, parents of three children under 7 seem to take it all in stride. I think one of the things most frustrating for donald he has not been able to get a rise out of her even though he repeatedly tries to do so. For me he gets a rise out of me for sure. Reporter some think about this. They look at it. They say why her . I think it is very clear to him that he cannot control the editorial on my show or from me in a debate or other setting. Just that, all it is . I wouldnt, i wouldnt want to speculate beyond that. Trump says, i want to come on your show . Would you say youre welcome, come on. We have a spot for you . Absolutely. It does not require an apology from him . Oh, god no. Nothing . Show up. Lets talk. He does not have to apologize. You would have to discuss something about the dynamic.
