illegally lived in the warehouse. it was converted into this may -- into a maze of living spaces. it offered more affordable living compared to bay area rental prices. but prosecutors called it a death trap and the master tenant and a second in command there are facing manslaughter charges. those two pled not guilty. now, records show city police, firefighters and building inspectors visited

tillerson is about to be fired. >> rex is here. >> reporter: cbs news has confirmed the white house is drafted and is circulating a plan for his exit. replacing him with current cia director mike pompeo. white house spokesman sarah sanders when pressed on it also refused to give a yes or no answer on tillerson's future. >> when the president loses confidence in someone, they will no longer serve in the capacity that they are in. >> reporter: the news follows months of growing tensions between tillerson and the president. among the most high-profile disagreements, north korea. shortly after tillerson announced the u.s. was in diplomatic contact with pyongyang, mr. trump tweeted out, quote, he is wasting his time. there's also the report in july that tillerson called the president a moron in front of a group of officials. still, the state department insists tillerson is continuing with business as usual. >> he kind of, you know, brushed this off today. he has heard these kinds of stories before. >> reporter: the state department says white house chief of staff john kelly called tillerson's chief of staff on thursday and told her, quote, the rumors are not true. several sources tell cbs that kelly has signed off on tillerson's exit plan. if this shuffling does happen that would leave the opening for cia director mike pompeo. republican senator tom cotton of arkansas would

congress to fund a critical healthcare bill. now money set aside for almost 9 million children and pregnant women across the country is expected to run out. kpix 5's katie nielsen is here to explain how this could impact many here in california. katie. reporter: in the golden state almost two million children and pregnant women get their health insurance through the children's health insurance program or chip. but if you look at this map from the kaiser family foundation, you can see california is projected to run out of those federal dollars to pay for chip by the end of the month. the issue isn't whether congress wants to continue the program. it has bipartisan support. but what they can't agree on is how to pay for it. california's been getting almost $3 billion a year from the federal government to fund the program. now, if congress can't decide on the funding soon, the state will have to pay. >> if chip goes away and that's going to blow a billion-dollar hole in our state budget. >> reporter: chip started almost 20 years ago as a way to provide health care for working class and low-income families many of whom aren't always able to get employer insurance. california

>> when you mention paul manafort and mike flynn and george papadopoulos. here's why mike flynn is a key to this case. he straddled not only the administration but also the campaign. he was with president trump during the campaign period. he was one of the president's top surrogates at that time. and then he transitioned in to the white house. and here is something else that is key with this investigation. during that period that he was transitioning into the white house, investigators discovered that he wasn't being -- he wasn't disclosing payments, that he was getting from r.t. which is an arm or which is considered an arm of the russian government, it's a cable channel that is funded by the russian government. it was just asked a couple of weeks ago to register as a foreign agent. which it had to do. and now russia has responded to that. ensuring that u.s. television organizations in moscow follow suit and register as foreign agents. and so, mike flynn is a key witness because he straddled the campaign, and he straddles the first few weeks of the administration. and, there were these concerns that he wasn't disclosing payments, not only from russia and russian interests, business interests, but also payments tied to turkish companies, as well. >> all right, jeff, thank you. our coverage continues on "cbs this morning" and on your local news on this cbs station. we will follow this story throughout the day on our 24 hour streaming network cbsn. watch it all at cbsnews.com. >> this has been a to recap that special news report the department of justice filing criminal charges against michael flynn, the former national security adviser. the charges being brought by special counsel robert mueller who is investigating possible russian interference in the 2016 election. >> flynn charged with making false statements to the fbi. he is expected to make a plea deal later on this morning. he has a hearing scheduled for 10:30 eastern time. that's 7:30 our time. so of course we'll keep you posted all morning long as we hear about these new charges against former national security adviser michael flynn. a big player in the trump administration as they made the initial transition and wrapped up into the investigation into the administration's alleged ties with russia during the 2016 election. we'll have more after the break. battery--- which means it's now up and running. c-e-o elon musk promised to deliver it "fully installed" within 100 days of teaming up with a french rene tesla just hit the switch on the world's biggest battery. elon musk promised to deliver it fully installed within 100 days of teaming up with a french renewable energy firm and a local government. the battery is in south australia and it should help ease the region's frequent power outages by storing energy generated by a wind farm. it is 6:27. this morning, republican senators close to passing a tax bill. a look at why some say they are not ready to vote yes. plus, the new center opening to help wine country wildfires victims apply for rebuilding permits. lots coming up when we come back. sfx: squeak sfx: stair creak sfx: clink sfx: deep breath sfx: grunt sfx: tinny headphone music sfx: feet shuffling sfx: slice sfx: gasp sfx: inhale. exhale. sfx: lights scraping on roof sfx: metallic scrape sfx: grunt covered california. it's more than just health care. it's life care. ♪ think of your fellow man, ♪ lend him a helping hand, ♪ put a little love in your heart.♪ ♪ you'll see it's getting late, oh please don't hesitate...♪ ♪ put a little love in your heart.♪ ♪ in your heart... ♪ in your heart... ♪ in your heart... ♪ in your heart.

flores, kpix 5. of the gop tax overhaul bill. analysis from a senators are back on the hill this morning ironing out details of the gop tax overhaul bill but new analysis from a nonpartisan group shows the plan would add one trillion dollars to the deficit over the next decade. supporters say it will grow the country's economy by adding more jobs. opponents claim it only helps the rich at the expense of the middle class. at the center of the plan, slashing the corporate rate. right now it's at 35%. the bill would slash it to 20%. >> the reduction in rates on businesses means that they have more to invest in their businesses and one of the by- products of that is it goes into higher wages for their employees. >> you will not support any cut to medicare and social secure? >> i am not going to support any cuts to people who are on the program and need those benefits -- >> there it is! he just told you he is going to cut social security!! >> that exchange with senator bernie sanders

credit!" ess is focused on that new tax bill: a health insurance program that covers nine million low-income children across the country is running out of money. kpix 5's katie nielsen is as congress is focused on that new tax bill a health insurance program that covers 9 million people in the country is running out of money. katie nielsen reports from the newsroom. reporter: the children's health insurance program or chip provides coverage for almost 2 million children and pregnant women across the state. if congress doesn't act soon, there won't be any money to keep paying for that program. now, the issue isn't whether congress wants to continue chip. it does have bipartisan support. but what they can't agree on is how to pay for it. chip provides insurance for about 9 million people across the country. california has the largest enrollment of any state at 1.3 million people. that's why california gets most of the money from the federal government, about $3 billion a year to pay for the program. if congress can't decide on the funding soon, the state will be responsible for paying. >> it means that a kid who with insurance would go to the doctor's office with a sore throat and get a cheap antibiotic is going to end up in the emergency room making the taxpayers pay a whole hell of a lot more than they would otherwise. >> about a week ago, lieutenant governor gavin newsom tweeted this: address that urgent need for a private-jet tax- break though." ress is only scheduled to work a 2 more days this ll have to >> reporter: congress is scheduled to work about 12 more days
