This is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. The republican claireman of the House Intelligence Committee, devin nunes is used to asking tough questions, but now hes the one on the hot seat over the way hes been handling classified information about russian ties to the white house. Jeff pegues reports. Reporter devin nunes, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee says he was at the white house grounds to meet a source. Ive been working this for a long time with many different sources and needed a place that i could actually finally go, because i knew what i was looking for, and i could actually get access to what i reporter tuesdays visit to the white house complex was the start of several days of unusual meetings and conflicting disclosures. On wednesday, nunes revealed to the press that he had seen evidence that the Obama Administration had intercepted communications involving members of the trump transition team. Nunes then returned to the white house to personally brief the president before disclosing the information to members of his own committee. On thursday, he was forced to apologize for keeping them in the dark. By friday, nunes seemed less certain of his claims. Its hard to know where the information came from until you get the reports and have time to go through them and see all the sourcing of the documents. Reporter nunes has denied that his source is from the white house. Today white house spokesman seisean spicer said even he doesnt know where the information came from. I cant say 100 that i know anything he briefed him on. Its possible. Anythings possible. Nuness behavior makes it impossible for him to continue to lead an impartial investigation into russian involvement with trump associates. Senator chuck schumer. Claihairman nunes is falling down on the job and seems to be more interested in protecting the president than in seeking the truth. Reporter it is unclear why nunes chose to view the classified information at a secure location on white house grounds. There are similar facilities in other government buildings. Nunes says that he needed access to a specific Computer Network that was not available on capitol hill. The latest Trump Administration official to be hauled before congress is the president s soninlaw, Jared Kushner. Hes agreed to be interviewed by the Senate Intelligence committee. Major garrett has that story. Reporter the previously undisclosed meeting took place during the trump transition, before Jared Kushner stepped down as headf firm. In december, kushner sat down with Russian Ambassador to the u. S. , Sergei Kislyak at trump tower, a meeting the trump team had previously confirmed. But afterward, kislyak asked kushner to meet the head of a russian bank known as veb which has deep ties to president putin and russian intelligence agencies. The bank is run by Sergey Gorkov who once trained at the spy agency known as fsb. Another official was sentenced to 30 months for using his banking job to disguise efforts to recruit u. S. Spies for russia. The veb itself was sanctioned by the u. S. Government after russias 2014 annexation of crimea. I had nothing to do with it. I have nothing to do with russia. I told you. I have no deals there. I have no anything. Reporter the president has long denied ties to russia, but the investigation even closer to the oval office. They say he acted as a conduit to foreign governments during the transition. He met with countless individuals. That was part of his job. That was part of his role. And he executed it completely as he was supposed to. Reporter and so he doesnt believe he owes the American Public an explanation about this. Doing his job . Youre acting as though something nevfarious. If theres nothing there, well say nothing there. If there is something there, well follow the intel wherever it leads. Also on capitol hill, republicans continue to play the blame game over their failure to repeal and replace the Affordable Care act. After seven years of promises, the gop came up empty. So whats next . Don dahler has a look. Reporter jennifer wynters 2yearold son is in the hospital a lot these days. Hes covered under the aca, but she voted for donald trump. Im a republican. Reporter and even though she sees problems with the aca, shes grateful for some of the benefits. Well, the main thing for the aca did for me is of course the preexisting conditions. That is huge.

Pennsylvania has over 700,000 enrolled in Medicaid Expansion and more than 426,000 in the aca marketplace. Had the aca been repealed it was estimated over pennsylvanians would lose their coverage, like brian kline who was diagnosed with cancer last year. The aca saved my life and saved me from medical bankruptcy. Reporter kline is a democrat who voted for clinton. But he and wynter have one thing in common. Their message to congress on health care.

Of all of the media outlets, which one was the worst . Which one . Cnn cnn, the most trusted name in news. Just because the attack of fake news and attacking our network, i just want to ask you, sir. Im changing it from news, though, very fake news. But arent you reporter theres nothing new about simmering whohostility between the president and the press. The president should treat the press as fairly as the press treats him. Reporter in march of 1974, t the nixon presidency was lurching to destruction from water gate, and there was an ongoing tension between the president and the white house correspondent. Thank you, mr. President , dan rather, cbs news. Mr. President , a are you running for something . [ applause ] flono, sir, mr. President. Are u . Reporter norm lowenstein was this and remains now a student of our political system and our media. We would watch network news shows, and we would sit there and we would have basically a common set of facts that would emerge from them. As weve moved to the new media world, the more weve got this cacophony of voices the more you cut through it by basically shock value. And thats why people now are driven, not by their own attachment to their own parties. Theyre driven by a hatred for those on the other side. Democrats, the alt left, destroy propaganda, a political witch hunt. Reporter Sean Hannitys Television Program on fox has a nightly audience of 2. 9 million donald trump and a highlypartisan agenda. Honestly, i think liberalism has to be defeated. Socialism has to be defeated in a political sense. This is not a, we dont want a revolution in this country. What more do you want . Youve got the white house, the house, the senate. And we have angry snowflakes and a democratic establishment. I say the press in this country is out to destroy this president. While the president s real troubles today were not with the media but with the facts. Its absolutely crazy. He keeps repeating ridiculous, throwaway lines that are not true at all. I think the president is somewhat indifferent to things that are true or false. He has spent his whole life, he has succeeded by both they live in two separate worlds. And they dont understand trumps. Reporter Rush Limbaugh had a lot to do with creating those two separate worlds, but he couldnt have done it until 1987, when the federal Communications Commission did away with the socalled fairness doctrine. Which was what . The fairness doctrine basically said people on radio and television, if they presented one political point of view had to balance it with the opposite political point of view. Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program, a program exclusively designed for rich republicans. Reporter Rush Limbaugh and conservative talk radio exploded into a Political Force of nature. Now you take conservative talk radio, move that forward to tribal, cable television, and then layer onto that email and social media. And all of a sudden, we live in a world where people can get information and believe its absolutely true and not have to get any kind of opposing point of view. And once they believe it, they will its utterly false. Weigh ha have to give some c to the American People and that they know the difference between an opinion show and a news show. Youre cynical. You think im bad for america . Reporter yeah. You do . Reporter in the long haul, i think you really. Reporter because youre very good at what you do, and because you have, you have attracted a significantly more let me finish the sentence before you do that. With all due respect. Go ahead. Reporter you have attracted people who are determined that ideology is more important than facts. It is, says White House Press secretary sean spicer, a media landscape that his boss, President Trump well understands. He doesnt washington norms or political standards about saying the right thing all the time or conforming to this. He understands he has a direct voice to the American People. He has over 100 million plus people who follow him on Different Social Media channels when you combine facebook, twitter and instagram. Reporter youve heard the line in the atlantic, the press takes him literally as followers take him seriously but not literally. Are we at the point where we are told we shouldnt take the president of the United States literally . No, i think you should take him literally. He wants to be taken literal limit and also you have to understand that when you have 140 characters that someone trying to look at that and say this means the following is a little bit too much. Reporter thats one good reason for not using twitter. I know, its not, but i think a lot of times folks in the media feel threatened by the fact that he has a d grab them by the [ bleep ]. Reporter last fall, after the release of the infamous access hollywood tape, the New York Times quoted donald trump in full, spelling out his obscenities on its front page, seemingly heedless of the papers slogan all the news thats fit to print, the executive editor calls it a clear decision. It wasnt much of a debate, surprisingly. Reporter if you just put f asterisk, asterisk . I think thats coy. To have the video with him having said it and f dot, dot, dot k, just seemed coy. Reporter if i were a donald trump supporter, i would be seething every day, these guys are out to do him in one way or another. Its going to be us or them. Questions about the largest revolution in government weve seen in my lifetime as a journalist. Not to attack him but to ask really hard questions about him and also to ask hard questions of a completely new cast of government officials who we know very little about. I think if we dont do that, meaning the press, i dont think anybody else will. Some of whats happening in the country is healthy. Theres an ability now for people to talk to each other. Were all focussed on the people who say nasty things to each other and who say nasty things out loud, but thats not all thats going on. Call me a naive southerner, but you cant convince me that this is not a more open wide world, and that as much as it sort of throws us off our game a little bit, meaning the press, need to have ourselves thrown off our game a little bit, you know . Reporter it needs to be said that our bitter political divide didnt begin in the age of trump, but it has evolved. Last spring in june of 2016, a pugh study discovered that 49 of republicans and 55 of democrats say they are afraid. Yes, afraid of the other party. As President Trump might say, sad.

Reporter nunes has denied that his source is from the white house. Today white house Spokesman Sean Spicer said even he doesnt know where the information came from. I cant say possible, as far as you know right now. Anythings possible. Reporter democrats say nuness behavior makes it impossible for him to lead an impartial investigation into russian involvement with trump associates. Chairman nunes is falling down on the job. And seems to be more interested in protecting the president than in seeking the truth. Reporter it is unclear why nunes chose to view the classified information at a secure location on white house grounds. There are similar facilities in other government buildings. Scott, nunes says that he needs access at the a specific Computer Network that was not available on capitol hill. Jeff pegues in the washington newsroom tonight. The nfl is betting on las vegas.

So she wrote a letter to attorney general Jeff Sessions, accusing agents of stalking undocumented immigrants to make arrests. In our courthouses. I feel like they are being targeted in a way thats unprecedented. Reporter what is your concern if ice agents are in courthouses . Victims arent going to come to court. Witnesses arent going to come to testify against bad guys in violent communities, because theyre afraid theyre going to get arrested in court. Reporter in a statement, ice said, while ice does arrest targets at courthouses, generally, its only after investigating officers have exhausted other options. But es a proposed bill in california would bar state and local police from aiding federal immigration enforcement, including turning over criminals when theyre released from jail. L. A. County sheriff mcdonnell says thats a bad idea. By not allowing them access to the jails, the likelihood is theyre going to go into the communities looking for the individual, and theyre not going to limit themselves to that individual. Reporter and to give you an idea just how much federal money is now at stake, San Francisco and new york could lose nearly 25 billion combined, scott, if the Trump White House follows through and cuts off funding for sanctuary cities.

Reporter wynter lives in quakertown, pennsylvania, whose congressman, Brian Fitzpatrick was one of dozens of republicans who planned to vote no on the new Health Care Bill before it got pulled.

Today the white house condemned the mass arrests in moscow during rallies against Vladimir Putins government. The protests were organized by one of putins fiercest political opponents, and Elizabeth Palmer is following this. Reporter united in anger. Russians from across the country marched to protest against fi in moscow, it was the biggest demonstration since the antikremlin rallies of 2012. But, without a permit, authorities called the gathering illegal and soon the police had moved in. Hundreds were arrested. Including Alexei Navalny, an Opposition Leader and ferocious critic of president putin and his famously corrupt administration. Earlier this month, navalny released a video alleging that the Prime Minister had amassed a fortune in mansions, yachts and vineyards, all through corrupt deals. The video went viral. And heres the reaction. The protesters message to the government . Shame on you. Navalnys now an opposition icon. Surrounded the police van, shouting dont let them through and police were forced to lift cars left as obstacles out of the way. Navalny appeared in court today and was handed a fine and a short jail sentence. Scott, these arrests have raised eyebrows in washington.

Reporter the border is roughly 2,000 miles long, and for about 654 miles, there is this fence. It costs about 2. 3 billion to build, and i want to show you that it drops off in some places, like where we are in brownsville, it stops here before you get to a retirement community. President trump wants a wall that would be 30 feet. 30 feet is twice the height of this fence. More than 600 companies have put in bids to work on the wall. President trump says the cost of but many analysts and researchers say it will be much higher, between 15 billion and 40 billion. Heres what the president wants, aside from being 30 feet, the wall has to prevent digging or tunneling below it for a minimum of six feet. A person must not be able to climb to the top of the wall or access the top of the wall from either side unassisted. The wall has got to be so tough that it would take someone an hour to break through it if theyre using a sledge hammer, pick ax or chisel. And on top of that, it must be aesthetically pleasing. Mr. Trump wants a beautiful wall. Now one of mr. Trumps most recent tweets trumpeted the figure of border crossings being down. Thats a fact, its true.

The republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, devin nunes is used to asking tough questions, but now hes the one on the hot seat over the way hes been handling classified information about russian ties to the white house. Jeff pegues reports. Reporter devin nunes, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee says he was at the white house grounds last tuesday, to meet a source and look at highly classified information in a secure location. Ive been working this for a long time with many different sources and needed a place that i could actually finally go, because i knew what i was looking for, and i could actually get access to what i needed to see. The white house complex was the start of several days of unusual meetings and conflicting disclosures. On wednesday, nunes revealed to the press that he had seen evidence that the Obama Administration had intercepted communications involving members of the trump transition team. Nunes then returned to the white house to personally brief the president before disclosing the information to members of his own committee. On thursday, he was forced to apologize for keeping them in the dark. By friday, nunes seemed less certain of his claims. Its hard to know where the information came from until you get the reports and have time to go through them and see all the sourcing of the documents. Reporter nunes has denied that his source is from the white house. Today white house Spokesman Sean Spicer said even he doesnt know where the information came from. I cant say 100 that i know anything he briefed him on. Its possible. Anythings possible. Reporter democrats say impossible for him to continue to lead an impartial investigation into russian involvement with trump associates. Senator chuck schumer. Chairman nunes is falling down on the job and seems to be more interested in protecting the president than in seeking the truth. Reporter it is unclear why nunes chose to view the classified information at a secure location on white house grounds. There are similar facilities in other government buildings. Nunes says that he needed access to a specific Computer Network that was not available on capitol hill. The latest Trump Administration official to be hauled before congress is the president s soninlaw, Jared Kushner. Hes agreed to be interviewed by the Senate Intelligence committee. Major garrett has that story. Reporter the previously undisclosed meeting took place during the trump transition, before Jared Kushner stepped down as head of his real estate firm. In december, kushner sat down with Russian Ambassador to the u. S. , Sergei Kislyak at trump tower, a meeting the trump team had previously confirmed. But afterward, kislyak asked kushner to meet the head of a russian bank known as veb which has deep ties to president putin and russian intelligence agencies. The bank is run by Sergey Gorkov who once trained at the spy agency known as fsb. In 2016, another veb official, Evgeny Buryakov was sentenced to 30 months for using his banking job to disguise efforts to recruit u. S. Spies for russia. The veb itself was sanctioned by the u. S. Government after russias 2014 annexation of crimea. I had nothing to do with it. I have nothing to do with russia. I told you. I have no deals there. Reporter the president has long denied ties to russia, but the kushner disclosure moves the investigation even closer to the oval office. They say he acted as a conduit to foreign governments during the transition. He met with countless individuals. That was part of his job. That was part of his role. And he executed it completely as he was supposed to. Reporter and so he doesnt believe he owes the American Public an explanation about this. Doing his job . Youre acting as though something nefarious. Reporter virginias mark warner is the top democrat on the committee. If theres nothing there, well say nothing there. If there is something there, well follow the intel wherever it leads. Also on capitol hill, republicans continue to play the blame game over their failure to repeal and replace the Affordable Care act. After seven years of promises, the gop came up empty. So whats next . Don dahler has a look. Reporter jennifer wynters 2yearold son is in the hospital a lot these days. Hes covered under the aca, but she voted for donald trump. So i stay true to my party and our principles. Reporter and even though she sees problems with the aca, shes grateful for some of the benefits. Well, the main thing for the aca did for me is of course the preexisting conditions. That is huge. I mean, he has two major lifealtering conditions that if i had to go and shop for it, it, i wouldnt be able to afford it. Reporter wynter lives in quakertown, pennsylvania whose congressman, Brian Fitzpatrick was one of dozens of republicans who planned to vote no on the new Health Care Bill before it got pulled. A moderate republican, fitzpatrick opposed the bill because it didnt do enough to address opioid addiction treatment. Pennsylvania has over 700,000 enrolled in Medicaid Expansion and more than 426,000 in the aca marketplace. Had the aca been repealed it was estimated over 1 million pennsylvanians would lose their coverage, like brian kline who year. The aca saved my life and saved me from medical bankruptcy. Reporter kline is a democrat who voted for clinton. But he and wynter have one thing in common. Their message to congress on health care. Stop fighting, stop arguing, stop folding your arms and going, im a republican, im democrat. Come together. Thats why we elected you. Overseas, Alexei Navalny will spend the next two weeks in jail. He was arrested during a wave of protests over corruption in the kremlin. Elizabeth palmer has that story. Reporter united in anger. Russians across the country marched against official corruption. In moscow, it was the biggest demonstration since the antikremlin rallies of 2012. But without a permit, authorities call the gathering illegal, and soon the police h hundreds were arrested. Including Alexei Navalny, an Opposition Leader and ferocious critic of president putin and his famously corrupt administration. Earlier this month, navalny released a video, alleging that russias Prime Minister had amassed a fortune in mansions, yachts and vineyards, all through corrupt deals. The video went viral. And heres reaction. The protesters message to the government . Shame on you. Navalnys now an opposition icon. After his arrest, supporters surrounded the police van, shouting dont let them through and police were forced to lift cars left as obstacles out of the way. Navalny appeared in court today and was handed a fine and a lysol max cover kills 99. 9 of bacteria, even on soft surfaces. One more way youve got what it takes to protect. Two kids barfed in class today. It was so gross. Lysol disinfectant spray kills 99. 9 of bacteria, even those that cause stomach bugs. One more way youve got what it takes to protect. The failure of republicans to make good on their sevenyearlong promise to repeal obamacare is just the latest example of the political gridlock facing our nation. Senior contributor, ted koppel reports on the great divide in american politics. Reporter increasingly, we americans occupy alternate universes. To be honest, i inherited a mess. Its a mess. No, you inherited a fortune. We elected a mess. Reporter there is very Little Common ground left. Only battling perceptions of reality. Yall, are yall happy with the last 30 days . Reporter neither side seems to have much use for the other, and cable tv, very little is out of bounds. Donald trump, americas wealthiest hemorrhoid. Democrats want to dissolve the borders. Is that what they want . Is that what the snake obama did . Reporter there are legions, driving the country further and further apart. President trump has still done more for this country in the last 40 days than barack obama did in eight years. Reporter a pugh study finds 81 of voters say they cannot agree with the other side on basic facts. Which may owe something to the president s campaign against fake news. Of all of the media outlets, which one was the worst . Which one . Cnn cnn, the most trusted name in news. Just because the attack of fake news and attacking our network, i just want to ask you, sir. Im changing it from fake news, though, very fake news. But arent yo reporter theres nothing new about simmering hostility between the president and the press. The president should treat the press as fairly as the press treats him. Reporter in march of 1974, the nixon presidency was lurching to destruction from water gate, and there was an ongoing tension between the president and the white house correspondent. Thank you, mr. President , dan rather, cbs news. [ applause ] mr. President are you running for something . [ applause ] no, sir, mr. President. Are you . Reporter norm lowenstein was then and remains now a student of our political system and our media. We would watch network news shows, and we would sit there and we would have basically a common set of facts that would emerge from them. As weve moved to the new media world, the more weve got this cacophony of voices the more you cut through it by basically shock value. And thats why people now are driven, not by their own attachment to their own parties. Theyre driven by a hatred for those on the other side. Democrats, the alt left, propaganda, destroy trump media continue to ignore facts in what has clearly now become a witchhunt. Reporter Sean Hannitys Television Program on fox has a nightly audience of 2. 9 million viewers. He has from the first promoted donald trump and a highlypartisan agenda. Honestly, i think liberalism has to be defeated. Socialism has to be defeated in a political sense. This is not a, we dont want a revolution in this country. What more do you want . Youve got the white house, the house, the senate. We do for now. Reporter okay. And we have angry snowflakes and a democratic establishment. I say the press in this country is out to destroy this president. While the president s real troubles today were not with the media but with the facts. Its absolutely crazy. He keeps repeating ridiculous, throwaway lines that are not true at all. I think the president is somewhat indifferent to things that are true or false. He has spent his whole life, he he has succeeded by bullying. They live in two separate worlds. And they dont understand trumps. Reporter Rush Limbaugh had a lot to do with creating those two separate worlds, but he couldnt have done it until Communications Commission did away with the socalled fairness doctrine. Which was what . The fairness doctrine basically said people on radio and television, if they presented one political point of view had to balance it with the opposite political point of view. Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program, a program exclsively designed for rich conservatives and rightminded republicans. Reporter Rush Limbaugh and conservative talk radio exploded into a Political Force of nature. Now you take conservative talk radio, move that forward to tribal, cable television, and then layer onto that email and social media. And all of a sudden, we live in a world where people can get information and believe its absolutely true and not have to get any kind of opposing point of view. And once they believe it, they will always believe it, even if its utterly false. We have to give some credit they know the difference between an opinion show and a news show. Youre cynical. You think im bad for america . Reporter yeah. You do . Reporter in the long haul, i think you really. Thats sad, ted, thats sad. Reporter because youre very good at what you do, and because you have, you have attracted a significantly more let me finish the sentence before you do that. With aldue respec go ahead. Reporter you have attracted people who are determined that ideology is more important than facts. It is, says White House Press secretary sean spicer, a media landscape that his boss, President Trump well understands. He doesnt conform to washington norms or political thing all the time or conforming to this. He understands he has a direct voice to the American People. He has over 100 million plus people who follow him on Different Social Media channels when you combine facebook, twitter and instagram. Reporter youve heard the line in the atlantic, the press takes him literally as followers take him seriously but not literally. Are we at the point where we are told we shouldnt take the president of the United States literally . No, i think you should take him literally. The president s very aauthoritati authoritative when he speaks. He wants to be taken literal and also you have to understand that when you have 140 characters that someone trying to look at that and say this means the following is a little bit too much. Reporter thats one good on a lot of times folks in the media feel threatened by the fact that he has a direct pipeline to the American People. Grab them by the [ bleep ]. Reporter last fall, after the release of the infamous access hollywood tape, the New York Times quoted donald trump in full, spelling out his obscenities on its front page, seemingly heedless of the papers slogan all the news thats fit to print, the executive editor calls it a clear decision. It wasnt much of a debate, surprisingly. Reporter if you just put f asterisk, asterisk . I think thats coy. I think that there was something about the sentences themselves, the force of it, to have the video with him having said it and f dot, dot, dot k, just seemed coy. Reporter if i were a donald trump supporter, i would be seething every day, these guys are out to do him in one way or another. Its going to be us or them. I think my job is to ask hard questions about the largest revolution in government weve seen in my lifetime as a journalist. Not to attack him but to ask really hard questions about him and also to ask hard questions of a completely new cast of government officials who we know very little about. I think if we dont do that, meaning the press, i dont think anybody else will. Some of whats happening in the country is healthy. Theres an ability now for people to talk to each other. Were all focussed on the people who say nasty things to each other and who say nasty things out loud, but thats not all thats going on. Call me a naive southerner, but you cant convince me that this is not a more open wide world, and that as much as it sort of throws us off our game a little bit, meaning the press, maybe we need to have ourselves thrown off our game a little bit, you reporter it needs to be said that our bitter political divide didnt begin in the age of trump, but it has evolved. Last spring in june of 2016, a pugh study discovered that 49 of republicans and 55 of democrats say they are afraid. Yes, afraid of the other party. As President Trump might say, sad.
