"Vanderbilt" by Anderson Cooper

In his new book, CNN anchor and "60 Minutes" correspondent Anderson Cooper tells the story of the Vanderbilt family dynasty – from his great-great-great-grandfather, Cornelius "Commodore" Vanderbilt, once the richest man in America who built his fortune through steamships and railroads, to his mother, socialite Gloria Vanderbilt. Cooper talks with correspondent Mo Rocca about how the wealth and privilege in his family tree marked succeeding generations.

Merger blocked

New questions are being raised about the Department of Justice's alleged role in holding up an $85 billion merger between AT&T and Time Warner. CBS News has confirmed President Trump's DOJ said it won't approve the deal unless ATT sells Time Warner, which owns CNN. White House adviser Kellyanne Conway has denied any interference. CBS News' Julianna Goldman reports on how the merger has been complicated, and CBS News' justice reporter Paula Reid joins CBSN to discuss the latest.
