U.S. billed $2M for Otto Warmbier's care

CBS News has confirmed North Korea gave the Trump administration a $2 million bill for the hospital care of American hostage Otto Warmbier, who later died in the U.S. The University of Virginia student was sentenced to 15 years hard labor in prison, accused of taking a propaganda poster during a visit to Pyongyang. Warmbier was sent home in a coma in 2017. The U.S. says it never intended to pay the bill, but it was signed for. Weijia Jiang reports.

What's next for Michael Avenatti after arrest?

Attorney Michael Avenatti says he's innocent after his arrest on criminal charges in two states Monday. Federal prosecutors in California accused Avenatti of embezzling more than $1 million from a client and defrauding a bank of more than $4 million. Meanwhile, federal prosecutors in New York say they have phone calls proving Avenatti tried to extort millions of dollars from Nike. CBS News legal analyst Rikki Klieman joins “CBS This Morning” to discuss the charges. If convicted of all charges, Avenatti could spend the rest of his life in prison.
