For months President Trump has been calling for a crackdown on leaks of classified information. Now for the First Time Since mr. Trump took office an alleged leaker faces criminal charges. The Justice Department says reality Reality Leigh Winner confessed. She faces charges under the espionage act. The president complained in february that the fbi could not stop what he called lowlife leakers. He demanded action again one month later and repeated it in may, find the leakers. About one hour before reality winner was charged, that leaked nsa report was revealed online. It suggests russian intelligence tried to break into the u. S. Electronic voting systems just days before the november election. Now the intercept posted the classified document. Cbs news has confirmed the report is legitimate and jeff pegues is in washington with the details from the documents. But we begin with jan crawford and the charges against the young woman accused of the leaking. Jan, good morning. Good morning. Winner was arrested saturday in augusta, georgia. Shes 25 years old, held a top secret security clearance at a government facility where she was just a contractor with Pluribus International corporation. The Justice Department alleges winner printed out the classified document dated may 5th and admitted to removing, retaining and mailing it and the government found evidence that winner had email contact with the news outlet from her work computer. President trump has called for a crackdown on leaks. He slammed the fbi on twitter in late february saying leaks could have a devastating effect, but this isnt the First White House to crack down. Remember the Obama Administration brought at least eight leak related prosecutions over eight years. Winner remains in federal custody and she will have a detention hearing on thursday. If convicted she could face up to ten years in prison. We reached out to Pluribus International for comment and have not heard back. Charlie . Thanks, jan. To jeff pegues with whats in the nsa report. Allegedly leaked by reality winner. Good morning. Good morning. The top secret report was completed just last month and is an indication that u. S. Investigators continue to gather new information about russian efforts to interfere in the election. Investigators believe there were repeated intrusion attempts by Russian Hackers in the final days of the campaign. Vladimir putin has consistently dismissed u. S. Intelligence assessments. Translator i havent seen even once any direct proof of russian interference in the president ial election in the United States. Reporter but a top secret nsa report First Published on the website the intercept, says hackers from Russian Military intelligence were trying to access Voter Registration information days before the election. The report, some of which is redacted, says hackers stole user credentials from a u. S. Election Software Company in florida and then just over a week before the november 8th election, the hackers used those credentials to send fake emails laced with malware to 122 local government officials likely involved in the management of Voter Registration systems. What was your initial reaction when you found out that this was the russians hacking into the system . Shock. And dismay, obviously. Arizonas secretary of state republican Michele Reagan told us last summer Russian Hackers had been probing her states voter information in the months leading up to election day. At time arizona, illinois, florida, and nearly two dozen other states saw similar scanning, probing or breaches of their election systems. I think the real intent of this was for somebody to tell us that they could get information if they wanted to, to scare us into thinking that our elections arent safe and that is the most dangerous thing of all. Reporter u. S. Officials have consistently said that they do not believe Russian Hackers actually affected the vote count or the outcome of the election and even with this new information, sources say they stand by that assessment. But intelligence officials view this new information as further confirmation that russia interfered in the 2016 election. This morning the kremlin again denied any involvement. Norah . Jeff, thank you. Antiterror investigators in london are searching more locations for ties to saturdays deadly attack. People across britain paused this morning to honor the seven people killed. Officers on the street you can see bowed their heads and commuters paused in train stations all across the country. Two more of the victory victims have been named, James Mcmullen identified the third of the three attackers as Youssef Zaghba they believe is an italian of moroccan descent. One of the other two suspects was a familiar figure to police. Charlie dagata is on London Bridge where the attack began. Charlie, good morning. Good morning. People are still laying flowers here at the scene of the attack through the pouring rain. But revelations that one of the attackers was known to British Police and intelligence agencies are turning feelings of agony into anger. They knew his face, his name, khuram butts, 27 years old, a father of two, a british citizen born in pakistan. The alarm bells should have been deafening. It appeared on a documentary last year called the jihadis next door seen praying near an isis flag. Butts alleged to have an associate of hate preacher anjem choudary. It goes further his neighbors reported him to an antiterror hotline. This man was worried butt was radicalizing kids, saying things like if you are not muslim you dont follow muslim basics. Youre going to hell. Reporter Counter Terrorism police said he had been investigated but no evidence he was planning a deadly suicidal assault. A second named suspect Rachid Redouane claimed to be moroccan and libyan not on police radar. More information is emerging about saturday nights attack. British media is reporting a dozen molotov cocktails were discovered in the back of the man that mowed down pedestrians that night. The victims of the attacks were honored at a vigil monday evening in london. Among them, James Mcmullen, whose sister melissa said he worked seven days a week to give his family a better life. He was exhausted. But he just kept saying i have to do this for my family. He was a really good person. He didnt deserve to die. Not alone. Reporter Melissa Mcmullen said she only found out that her brother was a victim after they found his bank card on one of the bodies. Days after the attack there are still a number of people listed as missing and still a number unidentified. Gayle . So painful to see. Thank you very much. Charlie dagata reporting from london this morning. The president s own words may be complicating the legal case for his travel ban. In twitter messages yesterday he took aim at the courts, his own Justice Department and the revised ban. He tweeted this, we need a travel ban for certain dangerous countries, not some politically correct term that wont help us protect our people. Mr. Trumps focus on the ban is distracting attack from his infrastructure proposals. Margaret brennan is at the white house with the latest. Margaret, good morning. Good morning. Well President Trump meets today with congressional leaders about health care and tax reform. This is part of a white house effort to keep the president focused on his own agenda. Were still stuck with an ancient, broken, antiquated, horrible system that doesnt work. Reporter the president s focus on monday was supposed to be on reforming air Traffic Control, part of his weeklong initiative to overhaul the nations infrastructure. But the president had his eye on other targets. Including reviving his courtsuspended temporary freeze on travel from six muslim majority countries. In a series of tweets the president insisted on calling it a travel ban and dismissed the federal court objections as simply a matter of political correctness. Mr. Trumps comments prompted attorney George Conway husband of Kellyanne Conway to tweet a rare public rebuke. The president s post may make some people feel better, conway wrote, but wont help get five votes in the Supreme Court which what is actually matters. Sad. Donald j. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the United States. Reporter the president s own language monday contradicts his lawyers who have emphasized it is just a temporary pause, not a ban, and insists its not aimed at muslims. This is not, i repeat, a ban on muslims. Its not a travel ban. Reporter federal courts have doubted that and suspended the president s executive order citing the backdrop of public statements by the president and his advisors. Yesterday, white house spokesman sara sanders tried to downplay the discrepancy. Look, i dont think the president cares what you call it, whether you call it a ban or a restriction. Reporter President Trump also continued to feud with the mayor of london sadiq khan whose public statements the president characterized as pathetic. Khan suggested mr. Trump is no longer welcome in london. I dont think we should be rolling out the red carpet to the president of the usa in the circumstances where his policies go against everything we stand for. Reporter thats not the only distraction. Yesterday the White House Legislative Affairs director admitted that having congress focus on the russia probe detracts from the trump administrations agenda. Norah, thats making it harder for them to achieve their goals. All right. Margaret, thank you so much. President trump will not claim executive privilege to stop james comey from testifying to congress thursday. The white house says the president wants to, quote, facilitate a swift and thorough examination of the facts sought by the Senate Intelligence committee. The fired fbi director is expected to tell senators about private conversations with mr. Trump. The president can ask a judge to withhold information from those oneonone discussions. But that could opens him to allegations of hiding evidence from the investigation of Russian Election meddling. We will bring you full coverage of james comeys testimony to the Senate Intelligence committee it begins thursday at 7 00 a. M. Pacific time right here on cbs. Day two of bill cosbys Sexual Assault trial is under way. Over the coming days the prosecution will call Accuser Andrea Constand and her mother guiana to the stand. Bill cosbys defense team attacked her character on the first day of the trial yesterday. Prosecution accused the actor comedian of using fame and power to take advantage of trusting young women. Cosby arrived a short time ago at the courthouse in norristown, pennsylvania. Dimarco morgan is there. Good morning. Good morning. Gayle, on first day of court bill cosbys defense team argued Andrea Constand repeatedly lied about her relationship with cosby and alleged Sexual Assault. The prosecution said constand was betrayed by someone she thought was a mentor and asked the jury to put aside his larger than life celebrity persona and see him for who they say he really is. Reporter bill cosby left a montgomery courthouse monday night after nearly ten hours of opening arguments and testimony. Earlier in the day cosby smiled as actress Keshia Knight pulliam who played his daughter Rudy Huxtable on the cosby show accompanied him to court. I came to support because this is where you hear the facts, this is where issues happen. Reporter cosbys defense Team Targeted Andrea Constands credibility contradicted her claim she didnt contact cosby after the alleged 2004 Sexual Assault. They said and constand spoke by phone 72 times and constand initiated 53 of the calls. The prosecution argued constand tried to maintain a sense of normalcy after the alleged incident and said the case is about trust, betrayal and the inability to consent. They both made very strong points. Reporter attorney Dennis Mcandrews was at the court. The prosecution was a more clinical event by event approach and the defense approach was much more animated and aggressive. Reporter kelly johnson, prosecutions first witness, cried on the stand. She claims cosby drugged her with a white pill and made her touch his private parts in 1996. During crossexamination the defense cited a deposition johnson gave where she said the alleged incident happened in 1990. Not 1996. This jury had a real poker face. I think theyre taking the judges instructions to heart that you dont decide this case until its over. Reporter johnson is the only cosby accuser allowed to testify besides constand. At the start of the trial, the judge told the jury it is their job to find the facts. He told them not to be bogged down by taking notes and carefully listen to witness testimony. Charlie . Dimarco, thanks. Apple unveiling its Newest Technology at its Worldwide Developers conference. The tech giant ceo tim cook unveiled long awaited Software Upgrades yesterday including one to prevent distracted driving. Apple also revealed the first new product in years, the siri controlled speaker called the home pod. Contributor Nicolas Thompson is editor in chief of wired and attended the conferences opening day. Good morning. Good morning. Lets bin begin with the question of whats the home pod . Its a speaker or set of speakers you put to your house and work like amazon as alexa and talk to them and answer questions for you with siri and also play music. Its like a system. Apples bet it sounds better than the other home assistants and it has more intelligence than other home speaker systems. The entire price, two things, its higher priced. Much higher. Why is that . They seem late to the party on this one. Very late to the party, a couple years late. They had siri a long time ago and should have built it into a home device and put it in your home. Three years behind amazon. Yes, theyre late but theyre apple and all have the money in the world to catch up. Why does it cost more . Higher processing and higher tech and fidelity and will sound better but apple needs to make money on hardware. When they sell something they like to charge you more than it costs to make it. Amazon makes money from selling you whatever they sell you. They like having a thing in your kitchen and will sell it at cost. Amazon stuff will always cost less than apple stuff. What about th
