Cohen investigation

There is growing concern among President Trump's inner circle that his personal attorney, Michael Cohen, could flip on the president after he dropped a pair of lawsuits Thursday. Cohen's home, office and hotel room were raided last week by federal investigators. He's being investigated for a $130,000 payment he says he made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. CBS News justice and homeland security correspondent Jeff Pegues joins CBSN to discuss the investigation and a possible criminal probe facing the former number two at the FBI, Andrew McCabe.
