7:08 am
information i had at the time. >> reporter: on the russia probe, giuliani spent the day trashing the mueller investigation. telling cbs news, i want the justice department to close this thing down. they don't have a scintilla of evidence. but he also said the president could still sit for an interview with mueller under the right conditions. former assistant u.s. attorney kim wailly was part of kenneth starr's team on the whitewater investigation into president clinton. she said mr. trump's new lawyer, emmitt flood who defended bill clinton, may want to avoid an interview. >> i think mr. flood has a formidable charge in front of him in terms of representing mr. trump through an interview under oath, because there is still a way i think for him to answer those questions and avoid potential additional liability. >> reporter: well, former trump campaign aide who has been interviewed by mueller's investigators told cbs news it was, quote, spooky how much they knew about the trump campaign
7:09 am
and how it worked. he said it was an intimidating experience. bianna. >> thank you. rudy giuliani also criticized former fbi director james comey yesterday. in our next hour, comey will be in studio 57 responding to the claims by giuliani his former boss incidentally. we'll also talk more about his best selling memoir. the chaplain in the house of representatives who had been forced out by house speaker paul ryan will now stay on the job. father patrick con ray had agreed to step down later this month at the speaker's request. but in a letter yesterday, the 67-year-old roman catholic priest told ryan that after consulting a lawyer, he was rescinding his resignation. ryan says conroy will remain in his position. ed o'keefe is on capitol hill with how this unlikely dispute unfolded and this latest turn, ed, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, john. this whole situation causing a lot of bipartisan head scratching. members of both parties want to
7:10 am
know why exactly conroy was asked to resign. the chaplain himself now suggests the prayer he gave last fall during the gop tax reform debate may have been seen by the speaker's office to be too political. >> i'm not commenting. >> reporter: a defiant father patrick conroy resurrected as chaplain yesterday afternoon issued this searing two-page resignation retraction letter to house speaker paul ryan, saying, i have never been disciplined, nor reprimanded, nor have i ever heard a complain about my ministry during my time at house chaplain. some deliver the controversy dates back to a pray he delivered in november during the debate over the tax reform plan. >> may their efforts these days guarantee there are not winners and losers under new tax laws but benefits, balanced and shared by all. >> reporter: on monday, at an event in milwaukee, ryan defended his decision. >> a number of our members felt
7:11 am
like the pastoral services were not being adequately served. >> reporter: but father conroy states in his letter that when ryan's chief of staff asked for his resignation, he mentioned my november prayer. and made a dismissive comment, something like, maybe it's time we had a chaplain that wasn't a catholic. burkes disputed those statements, saying, am disappointed by the misunderstanding but wish him the best as he continues to serve the house. >> any suggestion that catholic need not apply is deeply offensive. >> reporter: virginia democratic congressman jerry connolly, who is catholic, says reaction to conroy's reaction in the house was nearly universal. >> it went from shock to outrage. and i might say not just democrats, lots of republicans as well. >> reporter: house minority leader nancy pelosi applauded the decision but says she wants to know more about this whole situation and in his statement announcing conroy's reinstim reinstatement, the speaker said
7:12 am
he wanted to avoid a drawn-out fight and hopes to meet with the chaplain when copping is back in town next week, gayle. >> all right, ed, thank you. military investigators are trying to learn why a c-130 cargo plane being flown to retirement suddenly just plunged to the ground. wednesday's crash killed nine members of the puerto rico national guard. this is the latest in a string of military aircraft accidents. david martin is at the pentagon with more on this story, david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the investigation into what caused wednesday's crash is just beginning. but it's hard not to think that the plane's age played a role. that particular aircraft was built in 1965 and was one of the oldest in the air force. the final flight of the c-130 was never supposed to end like this. a dive into the ground and a fireball. all those aboard never had a chance. >> we have confirmed that nine airmen in the puerto rico international guard were aboard the aircraft. >> reporter: the plane had just taken off from savannah,
7:13 am
georgia, bound for arizona, where it was to be retired in an aircraft bone yard. this, after a career which included ferrying supplies to survivors for some of the caribbean's worst hurricanes. it was a tragedy for the island of puerto rico. for the pentagon, it was the latest in a series of deadly accidents which have claimed 25 lives in less than two months. and left leaders like the leader of the marine corps searching for answers. >> you can't say it's because of this. >> reporter: an analysis of accident data obtained by military times found a nearly 40% increase in accidents since 2013. that's when congressional spending limits known as sequestration went into effect and by one estimate cost the pentagon $147 billion over five years. that forced cuts in training and maintenance. at the same time, aircraft were in an increasingly high demand for operations like the bombing
7:14 am
campaign against isis. sequestration has ended for now. but chief pentagon spokesperson dana white says there are no quick fixes when it comes to aircraft safety. >> you can't buy the time back. you can't buy the training hours back. >> reporter: the fatal crashes get the public attention but the rise in accidents was due to relatively minor mishaps in which no one was killed. the aircraft have to be taken out of service for repairs which means fewer planes and fewer flying hours for pilots who start to lose their skills. john. >> david, thanks. human and sometimes abstract conversations we have about budget. federal investigators believe a piece of engine covering caused the deadly window blowout on a southwest flight. the ntsb found a large impact mark the shape of the engine cover negligence er next to th. the debris hit the plane when a fan blade broke midflight.

"the washington post" is signaling there may be more revelations about what cbs news new about claims of inappropriate conduct by former anchor charlie rose. in a story published yesterday, the post detailed three occasions during which it says cbs managers were warned of rose's conduct. the newspaper spoke to 27 women who claim rose sexually harassed them, including 14 here at cbs. one of "the post" reporters then
7:16 am
tweeted, it's not over yet. anna waerner is following the story. >> reporter: cbs news says it cannot corroborate or confirm many of the situation, described in "the post" report. the company has said it never received complaints of sexual harassment by rose before his firing last november. but rose's conduct allegedly spanned decades. >> his behavior in some ways remained remarkably consistent over the years as to how he would act toward women in the workplace. >> reporter: "washington post" reporter amy briton says her team spoke with 107 current and former cbs news employees. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." >> reporter: many of whom allege a pattern of inappropriate behavior by charlie rose. >> it was reportedly groping, lewd sexual remarks, calling women late at night, asking them personal questions about their sex life. >> reporter: the paper reports cbs management was told about rose's conduct on three different occasions dating back to 1986. when he made lewd comments to a
7:17 am
staffer on the cbs morning news. >> welcome to the debut of "cbs this morning." >> reporter: in the days leading up to the 2012 launch of "cbs this morning" an employee told then executive producer chris licht that rose forcibly kissed her. abided by the accuser's request not to tell human resources. a cbs spokesperson says that was within the scope of cbs policy at the time. licht moved on to lead "the late show with steve phen colbert." "the post" reports the former attend wa assistant warned him last year that rose was treating another employee to what she considered unusual lunches at expensive restaurants while rose floated other job opportunities to her. according to a spokesperson, kadro determined it was for a job interview. he says his former assistant did not tell him about inappropriate behaviors. cbs news president david rose
7:18 am
has insisted the network never protected charlie rose. in a note to employee, he revealed the company has retained an outside law firm to help investigate sexual harassment and misconduct complaints. briton says her inbox is filling with potential new leads. >> we're looking at the information that is coming in and we're vetting it and continuing our reporting. >> reporter: charlie rose has not responded to a request for comment but told "the post" your story is unfair and inaccurate. through an attorney, three women also told "the post" they planned to file a lawsuit in the coming days. gayle. >> all right, anna, thank you. listen, the more you hear about the story, the more awkward and more uncomfortable it is. but the good news is, you can say good news, is that the company's investigating, hired somebody from the outside, and i really do feel let the chips fall where they may. we take it very, very seriously. >> as the son of somebody who worked in the news business in the '50s and '60s, i think about the women who had to come forward, the anguish they had to live through, the courage it took to come forward.
7:19 am
and the frustration of having to be silent and feel like you can't have a voice. so it's good that they can get some kind of relief through this investigation. i also kind of think about the other damage in this, which is all the people who worked here, those long nights, who went across the country to cover stories who are a part of this now and dealing with it as well. >> which is why it's important we're investigating the past and more important we are moving forward. >> a lot of professionals doing a lot of good work here

>> he's perfectly within his first amendment rights to wear those shirts. >> reporter: monroe is being paid by wisconsin carry, a pro-gun group. >> again, the issue here isn't really a gun issue, it's a speech issue. and if parkland had never happened -- >> reporter: but it is a gun issue. >> well, i don't think it is. it's a speech issue. >> reporter: cases like matt's are popping up across the country. in nevada, a middle school student is suing his school district after it barred him from wearing these t-shirts also containing images of guns. in a statement to "cbs this morning," a school spokesman says the child was not harmed in anyway, except for being asked to wear a sweatshirt over his shirt. lawyers in both the wisconsin and nevada case say the schools allowed students to participate in school walkout activities supporting gun control. >> i just -- i think they're hypocrites. you can promote an anti-gun agenda but then you have a student that comes in there, no history, knows the constitution, you're going to tell him he can't?
7:43 am
>> reporter: do these lawsuits have merit? >> they airporen't frivolous. >> reporter: rikki klieman is a cbs news legal analyst. >> this is complex. i think schools should have the ability to regulate a student's clothing for a whole host of reasons. we don't want violence in schools. we don't want gang signs. we don't want people with nazi swastikas. these things are all obvious we would not condone. but the mere picture of a gun, is that sufficient? >> reporter: while the lawsuit is pending, matt can still wear his favorite shirt to school. expressing a belief the family say is just a normal part of their live. there are a lot of people watching who would say after a school shooting that killed 17 people, why not just stop wearing the shirts for a while? >> because that's just how matthew is. he's always gone hunting. gone target shooting. the second amendment, the constitution, all of that, is part of our family. >> reporter: do you understand the sensitivity around it and how the school's in a really
7:44 am
hard place? >> i mean, i understand. i get where they're coming from. but at the same time, they're expecting my son to change who he is. because of what is going on in another part of the country. >> reporter: the shekers say they're not asking for financial damages in their lawsuit. they just want matt to be allowed to wear his shirts in school. we reached out to the high school and attorneys but they declined to comment. >> i think the times are tough. it's difficult. >> yes. >> these schools have insurmountable pressure to keep kids safe but kids have rights. it's tough. >> thank you very much, nikki. coming up next, a look at the morning's other headlines, including why fast food restaurants are having a problem finding teenagers to fill jobs. remember, weized used to love working at the hamburger place. plus, why former fbi director comey was fired by president trump. he will be in studio 57 with his

8:03 am
loyalty" is now a "new york times" best seller. it chronicles his early career, his years in the justice department and his relationship with president trump. james comey, good morning. welcome. >> great to be with you. >> your book talks about your early career and the first time you met giuliani. you were excited to work for him. you said it fired me up. this guy who got you fired sup now saying pretty tough things about you. >> yeah, it seems like the love is gone. i enjoyed working for him as a young prosecutor. i found him exciting and brash. i learned through the lens of adulthood that wasn't a great kind of leadership but an exciting place to be a young prosecutor. >> what about his claims that you should be prosecuted, that, you know, he's essentially echoing what the president has said. leaked information. that you -- i mean he has a lot of authority with a lot of people. >> we're lucky to live in a country where facts matter and that people aren't prosecuted by people tweeting about them. so the facts in this case are just make those accusations
8:04 am
ridiculous. >> he also called fbi agents who raided cohen's office to storm troopers, nazi germany. you deflect when he attacks you. what is your reaction when he's going after fbi agents calling them storm troopers? >> that's unacceptable. when our nation's leaders, the president or his representatives attack the institutions of justice, the rest of us have to not only pay attention. we have to speak out. because we need those institutions. and the notion that the fbi is made up of nazi storm troopers is just wrong and dangerous. so i think all of us have to say that's not normal. that's not okay. and speak back to it. >> isn't this book james comey your way of speaking out and drawing attention to say to people that, listen, it's not normal what's happening in the white house. and we've got to figure out a way to stop this and correct it. isn't that what you're doing? >> in part. i think what i can do is make a small contribution by asking questions about what matters and what unites us, which is our
8:05 am
values. and we're losing track of and becoming ne ining numb to the e our core values in law. >> you say the president is unethical, untethered to the troop. his leadership is ego driven and about personal loyalty. some are raising those exact things about you. >> people can say whatever they want. my -- what i hope people will do is not get caught down in the back and forth of twitter personnel and personal conflicts but ask themselves what unites us in this country? the truth, the rule of law, equal protection of the laws. and it's not okay for the president of the united states to attack those things and to routinely lie. no matter what your politics. it's just not okay. >> go ahead. >> aside from the president of the united states, you also said you lost trust in leadership at the doj starting with jeff sessions and rosenstein. i'm curious whether any of that trust has come back, given some of their actions as of late. rod rosenstein said the doj won't be extorted.
8:06 am
jeff sessions said he would resign if rosenstein was fired. do you find that reassuring? >> i do. i was critical of them when i thought they were acting in a way not consistent with the values of the department. i think since then, especially the deputy attorney general has acted consistent with those values and protected the rule of law. >> you talk about values and ethical leadership. that's what your book is about. a lot of it has been missed in the cut and thrust. what does this mean day-to-day if you are a young fbi investigator. how does this trickle down to the day-to-day job you, do the maintenance of those values? >> making sure the american people understand the nature of your work as an fbi agent and that you should be trusted is at the core of this. when you knock on a door and promise a sexual assault victim you'll protect her identity, it's important she believes you or when a jury hears you found something in a car, it's important they believe you so that you can do the good that you do every day for the country. that's why the attacks on the institution are so dangerous
8:07 am
because we all need these institutions. >> what about what keeps an fbi agent who is working by themselves might be encouraged to cut a corner. how do these values help from that end in terms of instilling them with the values that guide their work? >> they know two things in the fbi and they're trained from the beginning. values are at the center of the organization. it's a deviation from those values, there will be severe accountability. you see that all the time in the justice department and the fbi. we hold our people accountable to those values. >> "time" magazine has a piece entitled "the fbi's in crisis and it's worse than you think." do you think that this public spat with the president and your role at all has contributed to this internal crisis that "time" magazine is talking about? >> sure. in the sense that i had to make decisions over the last year. we were stuck in the middle of these situations. both the hillary clinton e-mail investigation and with respect to president trump. they were incredibly difficult.
8:08 am
there were no good options. any time you're stuck there, the institution and you are going to take a hit. >> when you have talked about your own time at the fbi, you said you wish you had maybe pushed back with attorney general loretta lynch. you also said in that meeting with the president you wish you had done things differently. reflecting on those two instances and what you'd ask people to do now under president trump, do you see how people might not be able to stand up and take the kind of action you -- you are kind of calling for in terms of calling out the president? >> i do. and it's not easy. especially when you are alone with the president in the oval office. one thing i hope to do is remind people we have to. because whatever our vigorous policy differences, our values are all we have. if our leaders and the people they lead don't recognize that and stand up for our values, who are we as a country. >> you wrote at times you were concerned about your own ego, maybe you had blinders on and couldn't look at other people's point view of. you don't like being
8:09 am
kritsicized. nobody ask sdoes. but you paid attention. you managed to tick off people on both sides. wherever you go, people have something negative to say. what have you learned about your critics? you have a lot of support but what have you learned? >> it's mostly in my family. >> no, your wife is definitely a big supporter. i loved reading about her. >> she's a star, too. >> she's amazing. what i've learned is that sometimes the way i see myself is not the way reasonable, thoughtful people see me. and you can't get trapped in that view that everyone will understand what's inside my head and accept my good motivations, that i'm acting in the right way. i blew a number of things i talk about in the book and a lot of them are based on perception. i didn't anticipate how people may hear my words different than how i intended them. >> if you were interviewing the president, what would you ask him? >> if i were bob muellmueller,
8:10 am
ask him a whole bunch of questions and i would need as much time. >> how much time? >> it would all depend on how straightforward the witness was. >> questions like what? because we know you ask a lot of questions. can we hear your top two questions you want to know? >> certainly looking at the question of obstruction of justice. we want to understand what his state of mind was around things like his conversation with me on valentine's day. i have one view of that. but i don't know what was in his head and that's critical to the question of obstruction. what were you thinking and why do you say that? who did you talk to about that. >> tell me why that helps. if you were asking me that i'd say i wasn't trying to obstruct anything. giuliani said you wouldn't tell the president he was in the clear and that was grounds enough for him to fire you since he's essentially your boss. >> you'd want to ask follow-up questions based on the other investigation you've done. the reason you interview a subject towards the end of the investigation as we did with hillary clinton is you gathered all kinds of facts, documents, other people's recollections that you can use to test what that subject says to you.
8:11 am
>> one thing rudy giuliani says is you told hillary clinton she was in the clear. why couldn't you have said that publicly about president trump. >> we completed the investigation of secretary clinton and announced its completion. there's an ongoing investigation, near as i can tell. i don't know how the special counsel will approach it, but they are two very different things. >> next year -- next week, though, rather, will be a year since the firing. we all remember watching it on tv. it was painful to watch. it was a painful day for you. in that past year, you have had time to reflect. what are you thinking now, james comey, about how you've handled yourself in the last year, what you see for yourself going forward. where are you now? >> i am looking backwards, proud of the work that the fbi has done. we really did act consistent with our values. have a great sense of pain over a lot that's gone on, especially our being stuck in the middle of the election. but i'm at peace with the decisions we made. i keep saying we because i'm accountable for the decisions but it was a large group of

talented people. i'm a happy person despite a lot of the rocks thrown. i'm going to teach starting in the fall which will be really cool because young people, talk about holding you accountable. it will be systemulatimulating. >> i know we're your last tv interview. i'd like to think you saved the best for last. >> certainly did. >> you're welcome, mr. comey. really good to meet you. say hi to your wife. >> i will. a higher loyalty is on sale now. a disturbing scene in utah that troubled first responders. this was attempted suicide or attempted murder? i'm erin moriarty. a young mother calls 911 saying she just cut her throat trying to kill herself but investigators have doubts. did she do it, or did someone else? that's coming up o

8:20 am
i noticed he had blood all over his hands. >> by the time the lead detective bob thompson arrived, tiffany had already been rushed to the hospital. but before she left, she changed her story. it was her husband who attacked her. >> the blood all over the car was just -- it was unbelievable. i'm looking at this and i'm like, there's no way that somebody is going to be able to survive this. >> do you know whether it's an attempted suicide, an actual suicide, attempted murder or a murder? >> i have no idea. >> reporter: police detain chris who told thompson that he and his wife were divorcing. they had met at a secluded park earlier so he could give tiffany a child support check. >> we exchanged a few words and don't know how she would put a knife to her throat. trying to save her life and getting all bloody and saying i
8:21 am
tried to cut her throat. >> was he concerned about his estranged wife? >> no, he didn't ask once how she was doing. and he never asked where his child was. >> and what's going through your head? >> that he did this. >> reporter: ertman was arrested and charged with attempted murder. attempted because somehow tiffany mead survived. >> when you realize that you're okay, did you think then, chris is going to be charged with attempted murder? >> i hoped he would. i thought he would. all i thought was this is going to be over. it didn't end there. >> what's your fear? >> he'll try it again. >> did you ever expect the case to take you where it did? >> no. not in a million years. >> erin is here with us now. and so police and prosecutors have their questions and doubted the husband's story. why were they so concerned that a jury wouldn't find him guilty of attempted murder? >> this is a classic domestic
