iave expelled 150 russian inplomats since the attack. in an interview before tonight's expulsions, u.s. ambassador john huntsman said the nerve agent attack can't go unpunished. >> the message that is being sent is you cannot use a military-grade nerve agent on the streets of salisbury against a british citizen and his daughter without a response. >> reporter: but foreign ministry spokeswoman maria zakharova said there's no proof russia was to blame for the attack and compared it to misleading information she said the west used to justify the nvasion of iraq. >> nobody asked for some additional materials on weapon of mass destruction, which saddam hussein was accused of having and using. nobody asked for more evidence. they just trusted united states and great britain, and they were betrayed.

show the threat from acrylamide was significant. >> i believe in transparency, but at the same time, when you put a bold declaration-- "x" cay cause cancer"-- when there isn't data, that causes panic. >> reporter: the national coffee association told cbs news the lawsuit confuses consumers. st far as the science goes, research suggests coffee may lower the risk of diabetes and liver disease, and has even been linked to a longer life span. researchers said more study is needed on a possible acrylamide and cancer link. right now, jeff, it's only theoretical. >> glor: it's curious to think why a judge would rule on this. but more to come on this. thanks. the lawyer representing stormy daniels will not be allowed to question president trump under oath. a federal judge denied the request today on procedural grounds. daniels is suing to be released from a nondisclosure agreement so she can talk more about the affair she claims she had with mr. trump.

bee court said today it ordered a new trial because of a deficient performance by syed's trial attorney, and that her failure to call an important alibi witness to testify prejudiced syed's defense. koenig's podcast played a crucial role in locating that alibi witness. >> "serial" was enormously helpful. >> reporter: justice brown is syed's attorney on appeal. >> "serial" has also helped build this groundswell of support for us and for adnan, lyd for the case, and that has really fueled these efforts and e lowed to us keep fighting on the way that we have. >> reporter: maryland's attorney general refused to say today if he will appeal, but if he does, it could be months before syed finds out if he really will get a new trial. jeff. >> glor: chip reid, thank you. coming up next on the cbs evening news, a tragedy and a .ustery. o y did an s.u.v. carrying a family go off a cliff? and later steve hartman on the trail of a spammer. spammer.

to which ben, insincerely responded, "how i can help?" >> i just wanted to go down his rabbit hole and see what were the tricks they use to get people? >> reporter: and there's no way you could have guessed where that rabbit hole was going to go. >> there's no way i could have guessed. >> reporter: the journey began when joel in africa proposed a business partnership. he asked ben to mail used electronics to this address in new jersey. >> i looked it up on google earth-- there were broken down cars all over the place. >> reporter: ben wasn't falling for that. instead, he proposed a different partnership. he lied to joel, told him he owned a photography business and could use some pretty pictures. >> so how about a sunset? how a nice, liberian sunset? >> reporter: and what, you were going to pay him for the urctures? >> sure, if i liked it. >> reporter: you're just trying to keep him busy so he doesn't rip off somebody else. >> i figured the more time of theirs i could waste, the less time they had to rip other

people off. >> reporter: he sent two sunset photos, we think. >> there's a sun in there. >> reporter: turns out scenic photography wasn't exactly joel's strong suit. that could be a pupil. not that it mattered. >> i told him, "hey, this is great." >> reporter: you told him this is great. >> i told him it's a good job but you need a little bit better of a camera. >> so he spent 60 bucks to buy and send him a shiny new one. that has gone beyond wasting his time. now you're wasting your time? >> i'm investing my money, my family thinks i'm crazy because i'm interacting with this guy in liberia. >> reporter: but joel didn't think it was crazy at all. he wrote: and eventually, joel did get and eventually, joel did get better. >> yeah, these are actually pretty good. >> reporter: which posed a big problem. >> when he put in the work, i thought, oh, no. now i've got to figure out a way to compensate joel for these

pictures or i'm going to be the scammer. well, the final copies are in. >> reporter: so ben took to youtube to sail booklet he made using the pictures. 's called it "by-d. grace of god" a phrase borrowed from ael's messages. te plan was to sell a few dozen copies to friends and family, ptil sales exploded. >> people from around the world, in places i never even heard of, were buying joel's book. .> reporter: soon they raised $1,000. ben told joel he could have half, and the rest? well, joel would get that, too, but with a catch. 500 told him he had to donate that $500 to charity. and so with that intent in mind, ben wired the money. nt this point, you need to know, $500 is like a year's salary in liberia. so, really, it's kind of ridiculous to expect an unemployed, impoverished hustler to just give all that money away. oud the fact is he never thought he would. until another batch of pictures arrived.
