Action. This is the cbs weekend news. In washington. We are barreling toward a milestone in our garrett good evening everyone, im Major Garrett in washington. We are barreling toward a milestone in our countrys battle against coronavirus. One where controlling viral spread may be beyond our current capabilities. Former fda commissioner Scott Gottlieb said on face the nation this morning, we can expect about 60,000 new infections each day this week. Now mortality rates have been trending down, for weeks due to improved treatment and protections for the vulnerable. But there are no guarantees. Some estimates point to as many as 160,000 u. S.

Thank you for joining us. Cohen lies, biden lies, thats the focus of tonights angle. Laura now, consider what the jurors who have had to sit there in manhattan in that courtroom for four weeks had likely learned about the prosecutions star witness. Is he a convicted perjurer and a tax evaried. He secretly tapes and doesnt give get permission lied about the reason for trump security. Now on top of all of that he has admitted that he is a thief. Yeah. The fixer inflated a contractors invoice to the Trump Organization from 20 k to 50 k and pocketed the difference.
