The president used twitter to attack the bureaus credibility. He said this weekend that the fbis reputation is the worst in history. Fired fbi director james comey responded with a quote from his own capitol hill testimony earlier this year. Comey tweeted this, i want the American People to know this truth, the fbi is honest, the fbi is strong, and the fbi is and will always be independent. Margaret brennan is at the white house with this intensifying feud. Margaret, good morning. Good morning. It is stunning for any american president to publicly rebuke the Law Enforcement agency. But President Trump has been harshly critical of the fbi throughout its probe of his campaigns activity. Well, i feel badly for general flynn. Reporter before leaving the white house this morning, President Trump said Michael Flynn didnt deserve harsh treatment. On friday, flynn meeted guilty to lying to the fbi about his contacts with russia. The president then compared it to the fbis treatment of hillary clint. She lied many times, Nothing Happened to her. Flynn lied and its like they ruined his life. Reporter over the weekend, the president unleashed an attack on the fbi. Saying on twitter its reputation is in tatters and accused it of a dishonest investigation of hillary clinton. Swear to tell the truth reporter former director james comey testified that the president fired him after the fbi did not honor a request to stop investigating flynn as part of the russia probe. What he wanted me to do is drop any investigation connected to flynns account of his conversations with the russians. Reporter the president denied that account. But seemed to suggest that he was aware that flynn had lied to the fbi, tweeting saturday, quote, i had to fire general flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the fbi. Which raises new questions about what the president knew and when. South Carolina RepublicanLindsey Graham warned the post appeared incriminating. The tweeting comment regarding ongoing criminal investigations at your own peril. Id be careful if i were you, mr. President. Reporter sources close to the white house tell cbs news in an unusual move, it was the president s lawyer, john dowd, who helped write that tweet. Congressman adam schiff says it hurt the president. And then you do get very close to a case of obstruction of justice. Reporter the president s attorney, john dowd, told cbs news that he considers these questions of whether the president obstructed justice to be the result of what he called, quote, the arrogance and ignorance of the media and opposition. He argues that since the president is the chief Law Enforcement officer of the country, in his legal view, its impossible for the president to obstruct himself. Strong rebuttal from jim comey, margaret, thank you. Special Counsel Robert Mueller removed one of his lead investigators over potential bias. The agent was reassigned last summer after it was discovered he sent Text Messages that may have criticized the president. Paula reid is outside the district courthouse in washington, paula, good morning. Reporter good morning. That agent was a top fbi investigator working with special Counsel Robert Mueller. Peter struck was reassigned after sending politically charged Text Messages to another member of muellers team, lisa page, an fbi lawyer. Strzok was also a key player into the investigation of Hillary Clintons use of her private email server but hes now been reassigned to the fbis hr department. This was such a significant development, the special counsel actually issued a statement, saying immediately upon learning of the allegations, it removed peter strzok from the investigation. Republicans are now using this reassignment to question the credibility of both the clinton email probe and the ongoing mueller investigation. President trump tweeted over the weekend, now it all starts to make sense. Attorney general jeff sessions, who has also recused himself from the russia investigation, he weighed in. He says that he believes that federal investigations should be conducted without bias or favoritism and that he has addressed this with the fbi director. All right, paula, thank you so much. House and Senate Republicans are racing to combine their separate tax reform bills. Gop lawmakers will work this week to try and sort out the differences in the two plans. Republicans want a finished bill on President Trumps desk by christmas. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the hurdles they face and whether theyll be able to wrap a bow around it, nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. House and Senate Republicans have been working behind the scenes to reconcile these two bills, even before the Senate Passed its bill early saturday morning. And they believe, norah, that they can get that process done within a week. A middle income taxpayer,o r overwhelming majority, will get tax relief. Reporter insisting that melding the two tax bills will not take much time. Well be able to get through it in the conference. Reporter hell be working with house gop leaders like steve schalis, highly motivated to pass a final bill by christmas. When you look at the differences, theyre not that big. Reporter there are key discrepancies. The senate bill keeps the current seven individual tax brackets while the house bill condenses it to four. The senate bill eliminates basketball cares individual mandate, a move thats likely to end up in the five product. And its unclear what will happen to medical expense deductions. The house bill eliminates them. But the senate bill expands them temporarily. Senate Susan Collins of maine was responsible for that lastminute addition. The amendments that i added on medical expense deductions, on property Tax Deductions, on helping Retirement Security for public employees, improved the bill. Reporter changes like those were made just hours before the senate vote early saturday morning. This is the tax bill. Reporter democrats took to social media to rail against the rushed process. Can you tell me what that word is . If you can, you got better eyes than me. C corporation, paren, dangerous . That cant be right. Reporter some of those lastminute revisions surprised even House Republicans like the decision not to repeal the alternative minimum tax and trying to meld these two bills now is going to be a very delicate process because they cant do anything thats going to jeopardize gop votes in the house, particularly in the senate, gayle, where they have just one vote to spare. All right, thats not a lot, thank you very much, nancy. The Senate Tax Bill is also stuffed with provisions for special interests. Car dealersships would be able to fully deduct interest on loans thanks to kentucky senator rand paul. An amendment by texas senator cruz allows parents to pay for k through 12 private School Tuition using taxfree College Savings accounts. And senator rob portman of ohio, where big private jet companies are based, reportedly got them exempted from a levy known as the ticket tax. Julianna goldman is outside the capitol with other items buried in the legislation. Good morning. Reporter good morning. These are businesses that pass the income through to their owners who dont pay Corporate Taxes. Instead, they file that income on their individual tax return. The senates tax bill is a boon for oil and gas firms who would be able to take advantage of the lower tax rates on passthrough businesses. The provision was added by texas senator john cornyn, Whose Campaign has received more than 1 million in contributions from the oil and gas industry since 2013. Were going to find some really stinky stuff in here that we didnt know. Reporter on face the nation, maines independent senator king said theres a lot he and his colleagues still need to learn. Real Estate Developers like President Trump and the Trump Organization would also benefit from the tax cuts for passthrough businesses according to former obama tax policy adviser seth hamlynn. Hes sort of the poster child here of the sort of wealthy business person or wealthy billionaire whos going to get a windfall from this tax cut. Reporter the president s budget director Mick Mulvaney defended the measures. Yeah, youre going to change the way we treat passthrough entities. Reporter the bill would open up part of the Arctic National wildlife refuge for drilling, a cause championed by lisa murkowski. She was one of the last gop holdouts on the tax plan. This is good for alaska, more importantly, its good for the country. Reporter another amendment spared cruise lines from paying higher taxes. Alaska senator dan sullivan said it would help communities and businesses that rely on tourism. This is just slapdash, sloppy, untransparent law making. I, frankly have never seen anything like this. Reporter the bill is also notable for whats not included. It appears their research and Development Tax credit was accidentally eliminated. You can expect more surprises as lawmakers finish reading the bill that theyve already passed. Julianna, thank you. Cbs News Business analyst Jill Schlesinger is here to try to break down what the tax bill could mean for families. This is so important. Lets talk about how they affect individual families first. So its really important to understand that this is a bill that is very nuanced. So it matters not just who you are and how much money you earn but how do you earn that money. Do you have a passthrough organization. Or do you live in a state where youre losing your state and local Tax Deduction . Do you have a mortgage . How much . So its a very strange bill that in the past when weve done tax reform and Tax Deductions and unfortunately, i remember 30 years ago, it was a much clear this is a winner this is a loser. This is going to take a long time to really understand who wins, who loses. The big differences in the plans . Well, the big differences are, going down, we know that the tax brackets are very important. So in the house plan, they have four tax brackets. They maintain that top bracket at 39. 6 . The senate plan im sorry, the house plan goes to four brackets. The senate plan maintains seven brackets. But the top bracket goes down. Mortgage interest deduction, house plan says you can only deduction up to half a million of mortgage interest. The senate plan says no, were going to leave it at 1 million. And what we really know, the big huge change in the tax code is around corporations. And corporations, they both are slashing the corporate rates. It goes from 35 to 20 . Tax cuts historically are very popular. With both republicans and democrats. This one is at 30 approval. Why do you think so Many Americans disapprove of this tax cut . I think its becoming clear that its very much tilted towards corporations. And the wealthiest americans. You know, if youre upper middle class, you could actually be a loser in this bill. And thats very important to put out there. If youre the very poor, you could be a loser. I think when americans hear that corporations, which have seen great profitability over the last seven years, stock markets at all time highs, its really hard to understand in your belly why do those corporations need those tax cuts. Tax reform is one thing. Making a tax code better, simpler, plainer. But an actually gift to corporation where we are right now, second longest bull market in the history of the United States economy, its hard to reconcile that. It still seems very confusion even to people that passed it are trying to read it and figure out exactly what they passed. Who wins and who loses . Who are the winners here . I think if you are the tenth of one percent of an earner, you are a huge winner because were going to get rid of the state tax action. I think corporations, huge winners. Passthrough organizations. That means youve got a big law firm, theres 200 partner, they have all their money flows through, its a passthrough, that is going to be a big winner. Whether those folks who are winners then take the money they save and recycle it into the economy and boost the economy substantially, i think that is a huge question yet to be answered. A lot of academics say they dont believe this is a longterm growth incentive. The head of at t have promised more jobs. You have some ceos on the record promising reinvestment. Well see if they come up with those jobs. In our next hour, white house budget director mick mull vanny will join us to respond to criticism of the tax bill. Ahead and only here on cbs this morning. I always like it when we can say it, only here on cbs this morning. Say it again. One of americas Largest Health insurers. Cvs announced yesterday it has a deal to buy aetna. Jericka duncan is here with the blockbuster deal. Good morning. Reporter good morning, gayle. In a joint statement the two companies called this a Natural Evolution as they seek to put the consumer at the center of the Health Care Delivery system. Experts say the move could reinvent the way you go to the doctor. For years, cvs has been working to become a onestop shop for health care with not just pharmacies but also walkin clinics. By joining forces with insurance giant aetna, cvs said they envision their location becoming something of a communitybased Medical Center that includes space for wellness, clinical and pharmacy services, as well as vision, hearing, nutrition, beauty and medical equipment. Cooper is an assistant professor at the yale school of public health. A company like cvs has 10,000 brick and mortar locations. If youre a customer, you can access the Health Care System through cvs which a lot of us see around the corner from where we live day to day. Reporter the Companies Face new competitors, including amazon, which after expanding beyond basic Retail Products and groceries started inching into the health care business. That made Companies Like cvs sit up and take notice. Reporter still, the merger needs to be approved by antitrust regulators who recently put the brakes on at ts 85 billion purchase of time warner, as well as another Health Care Merger between anthem and cigna corporation. I think one of the questions is when these two firms come together, they might do a better job lowering drug prices but do they pass those drug prices on to consumers. Thats frankly the question regulators are going to look at when they scrutinize this transaction. Reporter what does this mean for the aisles of your local cvs . Even if the merger goes through it could take years before we find out if
