Senator menendez was serious and respectful in court, although at times he did crack a few smiles and consoled his wife, while more of his Senate Colleagues abandon him politically. New jersey senator Robert Menendez arrived at Federal Court, handinhand with his wife, nadine. The couple were in the same row as they were arraigned and pleaded not guilty to three felony charges, including conspiracy to commit bribery, fraud, and extortion. The senator responded, yes, your honor, when asked if he understood the charges against him and was ordered to surrender his personal passport. Can you continue to serve ffectively in the senate, sir . Reporter according to the indictment, menendez and his wife allegedly accepted bribes in the form of nearly 500,000 in cash, found in pockets of a coat bearing his name, over 100,000 in gold bars, and a 60,000 mercedes convertible, in exchange for his efforts to direct federal aid and weapons sales to egypt.

Late today, majority leader Chuck Schumer reserved judgment. For senators, there is a much, much higher standard, and clearly, when you read the indictment, Senator Menendez fell way, way below that standard. Reporter Senator Menendez plans to address Senate Democrats at a lunch tomorrow at the capitol. Meantime, he cannot speak with Congressional Staff or political advisors who have knowledge of the case. His next Court Hearing is set for monday. Norah . Norah Nikole Killion here in new york, thank you. Well, tonight, Army Private Travis King is back in u. S. Custody 71 days after crossing into north korea. Pyongyang deported him with help from swedish diplomats, who arranged his safe return, via china, where u. S. Officials met him before heading to a Military Base in south korea. Cbss Elizabeth Palmer has the new details from tokyo. Reporter tonight, private king is on his way home, in good spirits, according to one u. S. Official, and looking forward to seeing his family. King has already spoken with his mother, her spokesperson told cbs news. Everybody is overjoyed. This is a large, very closeknit family. They have been desperately worried about him. We thank sweden and the peoples republic of china for their assistance in facilitating that transfer. He is now on his way to the United States, and we expect him to arrive in the coming hours. Reporter north korea said the 23yearold was being deported because he had illegally intruded into the territory of the dprk, claiming ill feeling against inhuman maltreatment and Racial Discrimination within the u. S. Army. Back in july, king, seen here in the black cap, joined a tour group of the Demilitarized Zone and then suddenly sprinted into north korea. But that day, he was supposed to be on a plane back to the u. S. To face Military Discipline after an assault conviction. Now, king is finally making that journey. And having been declared awol by the u. S. Government, he may face further consequences. Why north koreas leader kim jong un decided to deport king now is a mystery, but the u. S. Says there were no strings attached. We did not give them anything. We made no concessions as a part of securing his return. Reporter and norah, the fact that china played a pivotal role in private kings return is one more sign that it is committed to warming its frosty relationship with washington. Norah Elizabeth Palmer, thank you. Now to a night of chaos and violence in philadelphia.

[laughs] Reporter Police at this lululemon store scuffled with thieves as they ran out, and a Security Guard at this Smashed Footlocker was assaulted. Our officers ran around the city last night, braving danger and arresting people. So now it is time for them to pay a price for what they did. Reporter at least 52 people were arrested. Whether it be individual shoplifting, shoplifting for Organized Retail Crime groups, or these flash mobs in smash and grabs, it is getting worst. Reporter Organized Retail Theft Today is planned and spreads fast using social media, and easy resale of stolen goods online often creates a scenario with high reward and low risk. In many states, laws have been relaxed so that there are fewer consequences to the individual who commits crimes. Reporter nationwide, retailers lost 112 billion last year, much of it due to theft. Just this week, target announced the closure of nine stores in four states due to shoplifting, citing the safety of our team and guests.

Norah meg oliver, thank you. Tonight, another New York City day care is the focus of an investigation into dangerous criminal activity. Police say they discovered a Ghost Gun Printing Operation Inside a day care in east harlem. The bust comes less than two weeks after the death of a 1yearold boy inside a center suspected of being a front for a fentanyl drug ring. Cbss Jericka Duncan has the new details. Reporter new York City Police say they arrested an 18yearold and two minors who allegedly used a homebased Day Care Center in this Apartment Building in harlem as a ghost gun lab. You got an 18yearold in his room, 3d printer, hes not making little robotic toys, he is making guns. Reporter investigators seized two printed pistols, a printed assault rifle, and an incomplete handgun, all found in an unlocked room inside the day care. This is a heartbreaking scenario of thinking that you are dropping your child off to a place of safe haven, just to find out that it was a dangerous environment. Reporter the suspects are facing multiple charges, including illegal Firearms Possession and the manufacturing of an assault weapon. The 18yearolds mother ran the day care since 2021. It was last inspected by the city in february. This investigation comes nearly two weeks after a 1yearold boy died and three other children were hospitalized when they were exposed to Fentanyl Residue inside a Day Care Center in the bronx. Yesterday, the owners husband was picked up by police in mexico. Officials now say they will review Training Practices when it comes to inspecting day cares. Who would have thought that we must add to our lists of inspections, do we have 3d printers that can print guns . Reporter cbs news has learned the day care was licensed to have 12 children as young as six weeks old. When asked if the mother of the suspect who ran that day care would face any charges, authorities would only say that the investigation is ongoing. Norah . Norah Jericka Duncan, thank you very much.

Tonight, for the first time, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general mark milley, is responding to shocking comments posted online by donald trump. The former president suggested last friday that the nations highestranking Military Officer deserves to be executed for communications the general had with china during the final months of the trump administration. President trump recently said that your dealings with china were so egregious that in times gone by, the punishment would have been death. Thats right, he said that. Thats correct. Norah he is suggesting that you be punished by death. The former Commander In Chief to his former top military advisor. Look, im a soldier. Ive been faithful and loyal to the constitution of the United States for 44 1 2 years. And my family and i have sacrificed greatly for this country. And my mother and father before them. And, you know, as much as these comments are directed at me, it is also directed at the institution of the military. And theres 2. 1 million of us in uniform. And the American People can take it to the bank that all of us, every single one of us, from private to general, were loyal to the constitution and we will never turn our back on it, no matter what. No matter what the threats. No matter what the humiliation. No matter what. If we are willing to die for that document, if we are willing to deploy to combat, and if we are willing to lose an arm, a leg, an eye, to protect and support and defend that document and protect the American People, then we are willing to live for it, too. Im not going to comment directly on those things, but i can tell you that this military, this soldier, me, will never turn my back on the constitution. Norah but for the record, was there anything inappropriate or treasonous about the calls you made a china . Absolutely not. Zero. None. Norah it almost seems odd to ask this question because the former Commander In Chief seems to be calling for your execution. Are you worried about your safety . Ive got adequate safety precautions. I wish those comments had not been made, but they were. And we will take appropriate measures to ensure my safety and the safety of my family. Norah we will have more of an upcoming 60 minutes episode on why general milley thought those calls to china were not only proper, but necessary to avert a war. The summer of strikes has rolled into fall, with las vegas culinary workers, bartenders, and housekeepers voting overwhelmingly to authorize a strike. Cbss Elise Preston reports a potential Work Stoppage could hurt the citys vital tourism industry.

The looming strike could bring the multibilliondollar Casino Industry here to a standstill. Norah . Norah Elise Preston, thank you very much. Tonight, its t3 days and counting until disaster for the federal government. Unless members of congress can come together, there will be a shutdown on sunday. Late this afternoon, President Biden said a lot of vital work could be impacted. Cbss Scott Macfarlane is on the hill and reports that instead of finding compromise, both sides are digging deeper, so, scott, what are you here in . Reporter talking to members of congress all day, norah, they can reach consensus on just one thing. They are running short on time and running short on hope. The outlook is so perilous, the head of a major federal Employees Union told cbs news, he has urged members to save whatever they can in money, as paychecks could stop sunday morning. An irs worker in chicago told us her colleagues are asking about Food Pantries and unemployment insurance. If the government shuts down sunday, some workers at the federal level stay on the job, but without paychecks. Tsa officers, customs officers. But if they choose to call in sick without their paychecks, there could be big back logs at the checkpoints. This would cause delays for those who need passports and visas, Small Business loans. Social security checks and medicare payments continue, but for those who need federal help to afford baby formula and food, that help could get interrupted, too, unless there is a compromise here. But, norah, as the night began, there is not even a hint of it. Norah wow. An impending nightmare. Scott macfarlane, thank you.
