Mr. Trumps nominees for defense secretary and cia director are likely to be the first confirmed by the senate, perhaps as early as Inauguration Day. But Major Garrett reports nominees to other departments, including health and human services, are being slowed down by questions from their past. The hip act, as an Orthopedic Surgeon i bear some familiarity with this area. Reporter that was tom price in june talking about legislation he introduced to delay a federal regulation related to hip replacements. A week before he introduced that bill, price bought between 1,000 and 15,000 of stock in a company that stood to benefit from that delay. Federal law prohibits members of congress from using inside information to make stock trades. Senate minority leader chuck schume trade was illegal. Reporter mr. Trumps nominee to lead the labor department, andy puzder, has drawn protest over his labor practices at his fast food restaurants. Transition Officials Say he has growing reservations about enduring a confirmation hearing. And montana congressman ryan zinke, mr. Trumps interior secretary nominee and a former navy s. E. A. L. , has drawn criticism for improperly billing the government for travel expenses in the late 1990s. Zinke is also skeptical of manmade Climate Change and clashed with vermont senator Bernie Sanders at his confirmation hearing today. Theres a lot of debate on both sides of the aisle. Well, actually, theres not a whole lot of debate now. The Scientific Community is virtually unanimous. Reporter the trump transition has also been stymied trying to name a nominee for agriculture secretary because its looking for more diversity in a cabinet dominated by nominees who are wealthy, white men. They lacked a diversity strategy when this entire process began. Major garrett, thanks. Today, president elect trump took a bow after gm said it will invest 1 billion in america and add about 7,000 jobs. But who really deserves the credit . Heres dean reynolds. Reporter the timing of todays General Motors announcement was too good to let pass without a tweet from mr. Trump. With all the jobs i am bringing back into the u. S. , even before taking office, with all of the new auto plants coming back into our country, i believe that people are seeing big stuff. But automakers have stressed that their hands were not forced by the president elect, and that the only causeandeffect connection appears to be his repeated claims of credit for their decisions. In gms case, officials said todays move was years in the 1,king. Jobs, 5,000 positions, primarily in engineering and information technology, plus 450 blue collar jobs brought from mexico. Economist diane swank. These are longterm plans. You dont decide where youre going to build a manufacturing plant overnight. Reporter and yet, on january 3, when ford killed plans for a new plant in mexico, mr. Trump suggested the company had done him a favor. Thank you to ford, he tweeted, for scrapping a new plant in mexico and creating 700 new jobs in the u. S. This is just beginning. But ford said the decision was based on demand for their vehicles. Last week, when fiatchrysler outlined a big expansion, trump tweeted, its finally happening. But while that company said it was merely the second phase of plan made public a year ago, diane swank says the timing of such announcements is at least partly an attempt to get on the right side of the incoming ministration. Whatever is already there and put it up front. Reporter of course, all of these decisions were made on president obamas watch, scott. So hes the one who could loudly claim at least a share of the credit. But he has chosen not to. Dean reynolds for us tonight. Dean, thank you. The suspect in the ft.

Daisy is fine, but her mother was unexpectedly hit with an anesthesiology bill for almost 3,000. At no point in time were we ever notified that the anesthesiologist didnt participate in our plan or were we given any choice. Reporter schade is not alone. More than one in five emergency room patients face what are called Surprise Medical Bills. Even though they went to an innetwork hospital, they were treated and billed by outofnetwork physicians. Todays study found some of the largest increases over the medicare price include charges for emergency medicine, anesthesiology, and radiology.

Reporter it was 1957, right before the second inauguration of president eisenhower when washington broadcaster Charlie Brotman got a call. She said, yes, mr. Brotman, you will be the president s announcer. Gulp the president s announcer im a nobody the university of texas band reporter announcing inaugural parades has helped turn this nobody into a washington institution. Youve been doing this for 60 years. 60, not to be confused. 60 years. Reporter 15 parades, 11 president s, and he has the programs to prove it. Youve got jimmy carter. Youve got ronald reagan. Youve got bill clinton. But this year, he was told his services will not be needed. I was really disappointed. Reporter are you a big admirer of charlie . Huge. Steve ray will be the new announcer. Some people will say hes earned the right to decide for himself when to stop doing this. I would say he does have that right. But in this case, the apolitical, nonpartisan president ial Inauguration Committee also has the right to choose how they put on the event. Reporter critics of the decisiot even so, brotman doesnt blame him. Not a bit if i were he, id be ecstatic, too. Reporter in fact, brotman says, the story has a happy ending.

From the Broadcast Center in new york city, im scott pelley. This is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im demarco morgan. Donald trump will take the oath of office this friday at noon eastern time, sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. The inauguration is traditionally a time to celebrate democracy and the peaceful transfer of power. And its usually attended by every member of congress. But this time, about five dozen democrats in the house say theyll boycott the event. Nancy cordes tells us why. I do not intend to attend the upcoming inauguration reporter it started as a sporadic protest but has grown to include roughly a quarter of all House Democrats. Theres nothing to celee. Reporter including pennsylvanias quite evans and tennessees steve cohen. When he questioned john lewis, they crossed the rubicon. Reporter mr. Trump slammed congressman louis as all talk and no action after he said he did not consider the Trump Presidency legitimate. Maryland congressman Anthony Brown posted a letter to mr. Trump online saying his twiter tirade showed a disregard for the office you will soon hold and demands my absence from your inauguration. Its a turnaround from the campaign when it was mr. Trump suggesting that the outcome of the election might be illegitimate. Ill look at it at the time. Reporter republicans like north dakotas john hoeven argue Inauguration Day should be above politics. Regardless of who wins, we all need to support our constitution. Reporter but most of the boycotting members come from overwhelmingly democratic district wheres theyre unlikely to get much blowback. So what do you think i should do, go to the inauguration or not . Reporter when congresswoman karen bass polled her los angeles constituents online, 84 said she should stay home. Some people are telling me i shouldnt just focus on trump. I need to focus on the office of the presidency. But let me just tell you, thats a big hill to climb right now. Reporter democrats have also been emboldened by several new National Polls that show mr. Trump is taking office with historically low approval ratings, far behind president s obama and george w. Bush. Mr. Trump dismissed those polls on twitter today, scott, saying, they are rigged, just like before. Russian president vladamir putin continues to scoff at the idea that his intelligence agents worked to get donald trump elected president. And the kremlin is denying a british news report that the two have already set up a summit meeting in iceland. Elizabeth palmer reports from moscow. Reporter it was supposed to be a routine with the president of moldova. But president putin used it to pour scorn on anyone associated with washingtons dirt y dossir. People who cook up hoaxes like that, he said, are worse than prostitutes. But then, in a sarcastic segue, he went on to remind everybody the details. Trump organized beauty contests, he said, and socialized with the most beautiful women in the world. I find it hard to believe that he rushed to a hotel to meet with russian girls of loose morals. Although, he added, we do have the best ones in the world. Finally, he addressed the future with mr. Trump in the white house. Im sure in the end, well establish normal interstate relations, responding to the interests of the people of europe, russia, and the United States, he said. Earlier in the day, russias foreign minister, sergei lavrov, knocked down the suggestion that donald trump had hinted at a deal for russia to reduce its Nuclear Arsenal in return for the u. S. Lifting sanctions imposed after the kremlin invaded and seized crimea in 2014. But, lavrov went on to say, as soon as the new Administration Takes office, russia is ready to talk business, which includes disarmament. The russians have adopted a very tough tone coming into the inauguration. Its a signal that if and when team trump gets to the bargaining table with russia, theyll be facing a very tough minded adversary. Mentions remain between taiwan and china. The taiwan military is conducting two days of military drills. Chinas only Aircraft Carrier was keeping a close eye. Relations between the two have been on edge since donald trump said the one china principle is up for negotiation. Reporter this island of 23 Million People has been selfruled since 1949, when chinas former leaders were defeated by communist forces and fled here. But china says that taiwan is still part of china. Its a nonnegotiable that donald trump wants to negotiate. And caught in the middle is taiwan. Somethings missing far above taipeis skyline. Tourists from mainland china. Over the last six months, mainland visitors at the taipei 101 Observation Deck and the highend Shopping Mall below have dropped by nearly 30 . Why do you think that was . Political reasons, obviously. Reporter michael yo says china cut tourism to punish taiwans independence leaning president for not endorsing the onechina principle. Is there concern things might get its worry about that. Reporter though life appears normal in taiwans bustling markets, china cut off all official contact in june and the military is testing its boundaries. For her part, the president is walking a tight rope. Last month, her phone call to donald trump infuriated china. I dont know why we have to be bound by a one china policy. Reporter and now trump keeps twisting the knife, saying everything is under negotiation, including one china. That prompted fighting words and images in Chinese State media. An editorial monday said if mr. Trump doesnt back down, beijing will have no choice but to take off the gloves. Locals say hes both helping and hurting taiwan. Do you like trump . Yes. Why . He have power. I think he will, you know, make the china angry, maybe its not good for us. Reporter bill stanton, who ran the american institute, our unusual embassy here, says taiwan shouldnt be used as a bargaining chip with china. He needs to avoid doing anything thats going to upset the status quo in the taiwan strait. Reporter taiwans already feeling the pressure diplomatically. Just last week, china offered nigeria a 40 billion investment after which nigeria agreed to move taiwans trade office out of its capital. Many here fear that if as president mr. Trump uses taiwan as bait, their future could be on the line. New pantene doesnt just wash i wiyour hair, it fuels it. Gain. Making every strand stronger. So tangles dont stand a chance.

President obama will be leaving the white house with some fond memories, thousands of them in fact captured by the white house photographer pete souza. Reporter over the past eight years, chief white house photographer pete souza has taken as many as 2,000 pictures a day of president obama. Some recording singular events in the nations history. And some simply capturing a moment. On halloween a few years ago, this was the son of a staffer. As he was leaving, he said, zap me in your web. One of the things that im just trying to do is show him, not just as a president but as a human being, what is he like as a man . Ep rorter in 2005, souza was working for the tribune when he began taking pictures ofar boback ama, then a new senator from illinois. I loved his pictures. Not only does he have an amazing eye, not only are his pictures evocative, accurate, creative, but hes also become a great friend and somebody i trust. Reporter souza took this photo in 2007, as obama was about to announce his candidacy for president. Hes about to walk out and his life is never going to be the same. Reporter and in 2009, the new president offered pete souza the job of white house photographer. A job he had had before during Ronald Reagans presidency. I never aspired to do this again, but the opportunity presented itself. Reporter that usually meant a long day of shadowing the president , whether at the arrival of the italian Prime Minister for an official visit, in the oval office as mr. Obama made phone calls, or watching mr. Ama and his wife pass out treats on halloween. I basically go in whenever i want and stay in as long as i want. Reporter and the president had no problem with that. He understands how to get his shot without being obtrusive. Reporter but now its about to end. It had the chronicle of my girls growing up that very few people have. Reporter and says mr. Obama, souza has also taken some iconic photographs. Watching to see if the bin laden operation was going to be successful. You could feel the sense in that room. My job was to not disturb the moment, yet try to capture visually what was taking place. Reporter and the less solemn moments. The little boy touching my head. The president bent down and jacob reached over to touch his head. I was in disbelief that the president of the office. How do you decide when its appropriate to intrude on a president . Its more intuition than it isanything. But theres certain times when you know, okay, lets give him some space. Reporter but souza always had to be ready. As when the first couple briefly held hands during the commemoration of the civil rights march from selma, alabama to montgomery. When it first happened, i was out of position. So i literally ran to line up my composition and clicked a couple of frames. And then their hands let go. Reporter or when the president in a museum impulsively boarded the bus, which had carried rosa parks the day she sat in the whites only section. Just the one frame of him looking out the window, it evokes the past in a lot of ways. Reporter to preserve the here and now meant understanding his subject and anticipating movements. You have to be ready. Thats sort of like you on your toes. Because boom, it happens and then its gone. Reporter when a friend told souza that after eight years he made every picture he could possibly make he almost conceded his point. But just a few days later at the opening of the new africanamerican museum i made two photographs that im still proud of to this day. The Vice President was kneeling down, talking to the daughter of a slave. And literally like 30 seconds later, president bush handed president obama a smartphone and asked him to take a picture of him with a group of people. Reporter on january 20th, one of the pictures that he takes is going to be the last picture of you as president. Yeah. What do you hope it captures . I hope he captures my wave, as i have a big grin as i said, im going on vacation. Nauguation day is a t dozens of parties and formal balls will take place and all eye also be on the new first lady, Melania Trump and what shes wearing. Rita braver has the story. President kennedy and the first lady venture from the white house. There is pat nixon in a handsome beaded dress. Reporter theyre on the world stage. Every camera thats available will be here photographing the inauguration, and that first dance in the inaugural gown. Reporter ann stock should know. As a former white house social secretary this is me with the president. Reporter and a former bloolingdales executive, she believes that inaugural gowns tell an important story. Its the history of who we are. Its our humanity and our history unfolding before us. Ladys collection at the museum of American History is one of the most popular exhibits in the whole smith stonian. One of the earliest inaugural gowns was worn in 1905 by edyth roosevelt, wife of theodore. This would have been a very formal dress, but she was a very formal person. Reporter and curator kathleen says 60 years later, lady bird johnsons gown was equally of its town. Can you imagine someone wearing fur trim today . Not now. Its also said lbj said she put sable on theev slees. Reporter fashion icon Jacqueline Kennedy helped design her own ensemble. Now so fragile, its usually kept in storage. It was such an elegant piece er chiffony gown. And spectacular buttons. Arent they amazing. Mini eisenhowers pink, sparkly rhinestone gown, this is the purse that she carried with it. Wow. This is bes trumans inaugural gown. Bes didnt like it. She was a matronly lady. Reporter the dresses often have sentimental meaning. Hillary clintons gown was designed by an artisan. The bushs by a texan. Rose lynn carter recycled one from her husbands gubernatorial inauguration. And sometimes there are surprising parallels. Heres Nancy Reagans gown. There are echoes of her dress in Michelle Obamas dress. We have these two beautiful, one shoulder, white bleed eed glittering dresses but with very different silhouettes. Reporter so what will melania wear . Its still a state secret but i absolutely think it will be an american designer and made in america. Do you have any particular advice for the trumps as they go into this . The first thing is, have fun and enjoy it. I would say that everybody wear comfortable shoes.

Reporter waco hanover is a retired harness racer, living out his days on a farm in the Green Mountains of vermont. He was never able to outrun most horses, but he certainly managed to outlive them. Hang on, slow down, will you . Reporter and this month, waco is celebrating a very rare birthday, for a horse. The big 40. Thats about 120 in people years. You see, under an old rule of horse racing, january 1st is considered the universal birthday of runners. Since the Life Expectancy of a horse is about 25 years, hes one old horse. Now i got to go in and get your bucket because you left it over there. Reporter Donnie Mcadams is a big part of wacos longevity. Living in an apartment above the barn, hes not only caretaker, hes kind of a roommate. But mostly hes wacos best friend. Very polite. Reporter donnie manages an estate Information Center off interstate 89. But for the past eight years, his down time has been devoted to waco. Its not a warm and cuddly friendship, because donnie is not a warm and cuddly guy. No talking. Reporter as luck would have it, neither is waco. Hes a cranky old s. O. B. , just like i am. Reporter but dont be fooled by their tough guy act. What do you guys do for fun . Eat Animal Crackers . Yeah, pretty much. Do you want a cookie . There you go. Yeah, just one. Reporter a healthy appetite is relatively new for waco. When donnie moved in back in 2008, the horse was barely eating at all. I wanted to dig a hole, because i didnt think he would make it through the winter. Reporter as it turned out, waco wasnt sick he was lonely. I talked to him one day for accept the fact that im a buddy and its been going on now for eight years. Reporter donnies work at the Information Center has him dealing with people, not exactly his thing. But at the end of the day, waco is there. There are times in the wintertime ill walk in the barn, just lean on the front of the stall for him. He would put his he would on my shoulder and just chew, just chew. And just calm me down. Reporter even after a heart attack, when donnie didnt feel like he would ever recover i couldnt carry a five gallon bucket of water because it was too physically stressful. Reporter waco was there. Now its like two five gallon pales, lets go. Reporter ever any what would happen to him if something happened to you . Oh, yeah, yeah. I think thats part of the honestly. You ready . Steve hashen now with a story of a dream kept on ice for decades. He found it on the road. Reporter it is one of the least glamorous jobs in the National Hockey league. Showing up before the players, washing away yesterdays dirt and grime. Picking up after those too talented to bother for themselves. And yet Carolina Hurricanes equipment manager george alves says theres nowhere else he would rather be. If i had to sweep floors and clean trash just to be around them, i would do it. Reporter as a kid growing up outside boston, george dreamed of being a goalie in the nhl. But he was the child of janitors, and goalie equipment was expensive. I knew my parents couldnt afford it, so tennis racket, which was my goalie stick and National Geographic strapped to my legs. Reporter after a stint in the marines, he tried to make it in the minors, repeatedly. Every picture of you is in a different uniform. Its what i have to do. Reporter he stopped chasing the dream only after he started chasing kids. Once madison and jackson were born, george knew he needed a real job, and hes been equipment manager ever since. Until recently. Last month, just a few hours before a game, carolinas backup goalie got sick. Normally thats not a problem. You just bring someone up from the minors. But this was so close to gametime that the hurricanes had no choice. So i called my wife, shes like, hey, whats going on . I said, just getting ready for the game, and tonight. She sounded so happy for me and everything. Reporter moments later, the guy responsible for cleaning everyone elses dirty uniforms had a wright new one of his own with his name on the back. Of course, george sat the whole game. Until the very end. I thought the game was over. I got up and started heading back towards the locker room and i heard george. This is one of the coolest things ive ever seen. Reporter turns out there were seven seconds back. Carolina was down two, so it didnt matter and those seven seconds passed unremarkably. But for george alves, he can now say he played in the nhl. Working hard and staying committed to something, it can make your dream come true.

Tuesday, president obama used the power given to him by the constitution and pardoned 64 people and shortened the sentences of 209 others, most notably, private Chelsea Manning, the transgender soldier formerly known as bradley manning, was serving 35 years for downloading hundreds of thousands of secret documents and passing them to the online site wikileaks. It was among the largest breaches in u. S. History. More now from margaret brennan. Reporter the u. S. Army Intelligence Analyst was convicted in 2013 of taking secret government documents and publishing them on wikileaks. The damaging files included documents that showed civilian deaths from the iraq war were higher than official estimates. A video of a 2007 u. S. Gunship attack that killed a dozen people, including two journalists, and thousands of sensitive diplomatic cables, which the state Department Said put american lives at risk. In an interview with 60 minutes, mannings supervisor in iraq, jhirleah showman, said she noticed something about manning was off. I said that he cannot be trusted with a security clearance. We cant deploy him, and hes most likely a spy. Reporter a military judge handed down a 35year prison sentence for espionage. Mannings lawyers said that made manning the longest serving whistleblower in the history of the United States and claimed the crimes never caused harm to the United States. Shortly after his conviction, manning revealed he was transgender and that he wanted to live life as a woman. In prison, manning, now known as chelsea, twice attempted suicide. In her application for commutation, she expressed remorse for her crimes, writing, i have never made any excuses for what i did. Just last week, wikileaks that he would turn himself in if the white house offered manning clemency. Nsa leaker Edward Snowden also tweeted support for manning. Today, the white house acknowledged that mannings sentence was longer than those who had committed comparable crimes, and said shed be released this may. Speaker of the house paul ryan called the commutation just outrageous, and a pentagon official said defense secretary ash carter was against the move. Separately, scott, president obama pardoned retired general James Cartwright for lying about leaking Cyber Secrets to journalists. And Edward Snowden has applied for a pardon. But the white house has cast considerable doubt on that. Margaret brennan for us tonight. Margaret, thank you.

Putin also disparaged those unsubstantiated tales of trumpian escapades in russia, and in doing so, went way out of his way to spill some of the salacious details. Elizabeth palmer is in moscow. Reporter it was supposed to be a routine News Conference with the president of moldova. But president putin used it to pour scorn on anyone associated with washingtons dirty dossier, those unverified allegations of compromising sexual behavior by donald trump. People who cook up hoaxes like that, he said, are worse than prostitutes. But then, in a sarcastic segue, he went on to remind everybody the details. Trump organized beauty contests, he said, and socialized with the most beautiful women in the world. I find it hard to believe that he rushed to a hotel to meet with russian girls of loose morals. Although, he added, we do have the best ones in the world. Finally, he addressed the future with mr. Trump in the white house. Im sure in the end, well establish normal interstate relations, responding to the interests of the people of europe, russia, and the United States, he said.

L. , has drawn criticism for improperly billing the government for travel expenses in the late 1990s. Zinke is also skeptical of manmade Climate Change and clashed with vermont senator Bernie Sanders at his confirmation hearing today. Theres a lot of debate on both sides of the aisle. Well, actually, theres not a whole lot of debate now. The Scientific Community is virtually unanimous. Reporter the trump transition has also been stymied trying to name a nominee for agriculture secretary because its looking for more diversity in a cabinet dominated by nominees who are wealthy, wh nominees. Transition officials now concede they lacked a diversity strategy when this entire process began. Major garrett, thanks. Today, president elect trump took a bow after gm said it will invest 1 billion in america and add about 7,000 jobs. But who really deserves the credit . Heres dean reynolds. Reporter the timing of todays General Motors announcement was too good to let pass without a tweet from mr. Trump. With all the jobs i am bringing back into the u. S. , even before taking office, with all of the new auto plants coming back into our country, i believe that people are seeing big stuff. But automakers have stressed that their hands were not forced by the president elect, and that the only causeandeffect connection appears to be his repeated claims of credit for their decisions. In gms case, officials said todays move was years in the making. 1,500 new or retained production in engineering and information technology, plus 450 blue collar jobs brought from mexico. Economist diane swank. These are longterm plans. You dont decide where youre going to build a manufacturing plant overnight. Reporter and yet, on january 3, when ford killed plans for a new plant in mexico, mr. Trump suggested the company had done him a favor. Thank you to ford, he tweeted, for scrapping a new plant in mexico and creating 700 new jobs in the u. S. This is just beginning. But ford said the decision was based on demand for their vehicles. Last week, when fiatchrysler outlined a big expansion, trump tweeted, its finally happening. But while that company said it was merely the second phase of plan made public a year ago, diane swank says the timing of such announcements is at least partly an attempt to get on the right side of the incoming administon this is a time you take whatever is already there and put it up front. Reporter of course, all of these decisions were made on president obamas watch, scott. So hes the one who could loudly claim at least a share of the credit. But he has chosen not to. Dean reynolds for us tonight. Dean, thank you. The suspect in the ft. Lauderdale airport mass shooting has told investigators he was under government mind control.

Daisy is fine, but her mother was unexpectedly hit with an anesthesiology bill for almost 3,000.

Brotman, you will be the president s announcer. Gulp the president s announcer im a the university of texas band reporter announcing inaugural parades has helped turn this nobody into a washington institution. Youve been doing this for 60 years. 60, not to be confused. 60 years. Reporter 15 parades, 11 president s, and he has the programs to prove it. Youve got jimmy carter. Youve got ronald reagan. Youve got bill clinton. But this year, he was told his services will not be needed. I was really disappointed. Reporter are you a big admirer of charlie . Huge. Steve ray will be the new announcer. Some people will say hes earned the right to decide for himself when to stop doing this. I would say he does have that right. But in this case, the apolitical, nonpartisan president ial Inauguration Committee also has the right to choose how they put on the event. Reporter critics of the decision note that ray was a Trump Campaign volunteer. Even so, brotman doesnt blame him. Not a bit if i were he, id be ecstatic, too. Reporter in fact, brotman says, the story has a happy ending. Hell be covering fridays parade for a local tv station, reaching a much larger audience, and getting paid to do it. But youre okay .

Donald trump will take the oath of office this friday at noon eastern time, sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. The inauguration is traditionally a time to celebrate democracy and the peaceful transfer of power. And its usually attended by every member of congress. But this time, about five dozen democrats in the house say theyll boycott the event. Nancy cordes tells us why. I do not intend to attend the upcoming inauguration [ applause ] reporter what started as a sporadic protest but has grown to include roughly a quarter of all House Democrats. Theres nothing to celebrate. Reporter including pennsylvanias dwight e vans and tennessees steve cohen. When he questioned john lewis, they crossed the rubicon. Reporter mr. Trump slammed congressman louis as all talk and no action after he said he did not consider the Trump Presidency legitimate. Maryland congressman Anthony Brown posted a letter to mr. Trump online saying his twitter tirade showed a disregard for the office you will soon hold and demands my absence from your inauguration. Its a turnaround from the campaign when it was mr. Trump suggesting that the outcome of the election might be illegitimate. Ill look at it at the time. Reporter republicans like north dakotas john hoeven argue Inauguration Day should be above politics. Regardless of who wins, we all need to support our constitution. Reporter but most of the boycotting members come from overwhelmingly democratic districts wheres theyre unlikely to get much blowback. So what do you think i should do, go to the inauguration or not . Reporter when congresswo karen bass polled her los angeles constituents online, 84 said she should stay home. Some people are telling me i shouldnt just focus on trump. I need to focus on the office of the presidency. But let me just tell you, thats a big hill to climb right now. Reporter democrats have also been emboldened by several new National Polls that show mr. Trump is taking office with historically low approval ratings, far behind president s obama and george w. Bush. Mr. Trump dismissed those polls on twitter today, scott, saying, they are rigged, just like before. Russian president vladamir putin continues to scoff at the idea that his intelligence agents worked to get donald trump elected president. And the kremlin is denying a british news report that the two have already set up a summit meeting in iceland. Elizabeth palmer reports from moscow. Reporter it was supposed to be a routine News Conference with the president of moldova. But president putin used it to pour scorn on anyone associated with washingtons dirty dossier. Those up verified allegations of sexual by donald trump. People who cook up hoaxes like that, he said, are worse than prostitutes.

Lifting sanctions imposed after the kremlin invaded and seized crimea in 2014. But, lavrov went on to say, as soon as the new Administration Takes office, russia is ready to talk business, which includes disarmament. The russians have adopted a very tough tone coming into the inauguration. Its a signal that if and when team trump gets to the bargaining table with russia, theyll be facing a very tough minded adversary. Tensions remain high between taiwan and china. The taiwan military is conducting two days of military war games, but chinas only Aircraft Carrier was keeping a watchful eye right off the coast. Relations between the two have been on edge since donald trump said the one china principle is up for negotiaon adriana diaz is in taiwan. Reporter this island of 23 million pele has been selfruled since 1949, when chinas former leaders were defeated by communist forces and fled here. But china says that taiwan is still part of china. Its a nonnegotiable that donald trump wants to negotiate. And caught in the middle is taiwan. Somethings missing far above taipeis skyline. Tourists from mainland china. Over the last six months, mainland visitors at the taipei 101 Observation Deck and the highend Shopping Mall below have dropped by nearly 30 . Why do you think that was . Political reasons, obviously. Reporter michael yo represents the skyscraper and china cut tourism to punish taiwans independence leaning president for not endorsing the onechina principle. Is there concern things might get worse . , reporter though life appears normal in taiwans bustling markets, tensions are mounting with its neighbor. China cut off all official contact in june and the military the testing the boundaries. For her part, the president is walking a political tight rope. Last months precedent breaking phone call to donald trump didnt help. It partially legitimized her leadership, infuriating china. I dont know why we have to be bound by a one china policy. Reporter and now trump keeps twisting the knife, saying to the wall street journal friday, everything is under negotiation, including one china. That prompted fighting words and images in Chinese State media. An editorial monday said if mr. Trump doesnt back down, beijing will have no choice but to take off the gloves. Locals say hes both helping and hurting taiwan. Do you like trump . Yes. Why . He have power. I think he will, you know, make the china angry, maybe its not good for us. Reporter bill stanton, who ran the american institute, our unusual embassy here, says taiwan shouldnt be used as a bargaining chip with china. He needs to avoid doing anything thats going to upset the status quo in the taiwan strait. Reporter taiwans already feeling the pressure diplomatically. Just last week, china offered nigeria a 40 billion investment after which nigeria agreed to move taiwans trade office out of its capital. Many here fear that if as president mr. Trump uses taiwan as bait, their future could be on the line. It says you apply the blue one ok, letto me. This. Here . No. Have a little fun together, or a lot. Ky yours and mine. Two sensations that work together, so you can play together. President obama will be leaving the white house with some fond memories, thousands of them in fact captured by the white house photographer pete souza. Correspondent bill plant has the story. Reporter over the past eight years, chief white house photographer pete souza has taken as many as 2,000 pictures a day of president obama. Some recording singular events in the nations history. And some simply capturing a moment. On halloween a few years ago, this was the son of a staffer. As he was leaving, he said, zap me in your web. One of the things that im just trying to do is show him, not just as a president but as a human being, what is he like as a man . Reporter in 2005, souza was working for the chicago tribunen whehe began taking pictures of barack obama, then a new senator from illinois. I loved his pictures. Not only does he have an amazing eye, not only are his pictures evocative, accurate, creative, but hes also become a great friend and somebody i trust. Reporter souza took this photo in 2007, as obama was about to announce his candidacy for president. Hes about to walk out and his life is never going to be the same. Reporter and in 2009, the new president offered pete souza the job of white house photographer. A job he had had before during Ronald Reagans presidency. I never aspired to do this again, but the opportunity presented itself. Reporter that usually meant a long day of shadowing the president , whether at the arrival of the italian Prime Minister for an official visit, in the oval office as mr. Obama made phone calls, or watching mr. Obama and his wife pass out treats on halloween. Iic want and stay in as long as i want. Reporter and the president had no problem with that. He understands how to get his shot without being obtrusive. Reporter but now its about to end. Its been an extraordinary gift, because i had the kind of chronicle of my girls growing up that very few people have. Reporter and says mr. Obama, souza has also taken some iconic photographs. Watching to see if the bin laden operation was going to be successful. You could feel the tension in that room. My job was to not disturb the moment, yet try to capture visually what was taking place. Reporter and the less solemn moments. The little boy touching my head. The president bent down and jacob touched his head to feel his head. When Staff Members brought their children to the white house, there was sometimes a president ial visit. I was in disbelief that the president of the United States was lying down in the oval office. How do you decide when its appropriate to intrude on a president . Its more intuition than it is anything. But theres certain times when you know, okay, lets give him some space. Reporter but souza always had to be ready. As when the first couple briefly held hands during the commemoration of the civil rights march from selma, alabama to montgomery. When it first happened, i was out of position. So i literally ran to line up my composition and clicked a couple of frames. And then their hands let go. Reporter or when the president in a museum impulsively boarded the bus, which had carried rosa parks the day she sat in the whites only section. Just the one frame of him looking out the window, it evokes the past in a lot of ways. Reporter to preserve the here and now meant understanding his subject and anticipating movements. You have to be ready. Thats sort of like what keeps you on your toes. Because boom, it happens and then its gone. Reporter when a friend told souza that after eight years he made every picture he could possibly make he almost conceded her point. But just a few days later at the opening of the new africanamerican museum i made two photographs that im still proud of to this day. The Vice President was kneeling down, talking to the daughter of a slave. And literally like 30 seconds later, president bush handed president obama a smartphone and asked him to take a picture of him with a group of people. Reporter on january 20th, one of the pictures that he takes is going to be the last picture of you as president. Yeah. What do you hope it captures . I hope he captures my wave, as i have a big grin and i say, im going on vacation. Inauguration day is a time of pomp and ceremony and the swearing in is just the start. Balls will take place and all eyes will be on the new first lady, Melania Trump and what shes wearing. Rita braver has the story. President kennedy and the first lady venture from the white house. There is pat nixon in a handsoeame bdrded ess. Theyre on the world stage. Every camera thats available will be here photographing the inauguration, and that first dance in the inaugural gown. Reporter ann stock should know. As a former white house social secretary this is me with the president. Reporter and a former bloomingdales executive, she believes that inaugural gowns tell an important story. Its the history of who we are. Its our humanity and our history unfolding before us. Reporter and so the first of American History is one of the most popular exhibits in the whole smithsonian. One of the earliest inaugural gowns was worn in 1905 by edyth roosevelt, wife of theodore. This would have been a very formal dress, but she was a very formal person. Reporter and curator Lisa Kathleen grady says 60 years later, lady bird johnsons gown was equally of its town. Can you imagine someone wearing fur trim today . Not now. Its also said lbj said she put sable on the sleeves, he told her to dress it up some. Reporter fashion icon Jacqueline Kennedy helped design her own ensemble. Now so fragile, its usually kept in storage. It was such an elegant piece over that beautiful, creamy, chiffony gown. And spectacular buttons. Arent they amazing. If you remember, mini eisenhowers pink, sparkly rhinestone gown, this is the purse that she carried with it. Wow. This is bess trumans inaugural gown. Why sit here in the closet . Because bess didnt like it. Its definitely a matronly look. Yeah, but she was a matronly lady. Reporter the dresses often have sentimental meaning. Hillary clintons gown was designed by an artansan. The bushs by a texan. Roslynn carter recycled one from her husbands gubernatorial inauguration. And sometimes there are surprising parallels. Heres Nancy Reagans gown. There are echoes of her dress in Michelle Obamas dress. Amazing. We have these two beautiful, one shoulder, white beaded glittering dresses but with very different silhouettes. Reporter so what will former model Melania Trump wear . Its still a state secret but i absolutely think it will be an american designer and made in america. Do you have any particular advice for the trumps as they go into this . The first thing is, have fun and enjoy it. I would say that everybody wear comfortable shoes. The overnight news will be right back. It says you apply the blue one ok, letto me. This. Here .

Reporter donnie manages an estate Information Center off interstate 89. But for the past eight years, his down time has been utterly devoted to waco.

I talked to him one day for half an hour, and got him to accept the fact that im a buddy and i aint going nowhere, and its been going on now for eight years. Reporter donnies work at the Information Center has him dealing with people, not exactly his thing. But at the end of the day, waco is there. There are times in the wintertime ill walk in the barn, just lean on the front of the stall for him. He would put his he would on my shoulder and just chew, just chew. And just calm me down.
