president george w. bush. the justice department has charged an iraqi citizen living in ohio with aiding and abetting the plot by planning to smuggle four isis oprayatives into the country to kill the former president. catherine herridge has more. >> reporter: prosecutors say the plan to kill mr. bush was an isis-inspired plot in retaliation for the u.s. invasion of iraq, which the former president ordered. according to a search warrant obtained by cbs news, shihab ahmed shihab, accompanied by an f.b.i. informant, recently traveled to president bush's home in dallas, texas, and took two passby the front access gate to record videos. they did the same outside the george w. bush institute, also in dallas. shihab allegedly planned to send the videos for of to former iraqi security experts for advice on how to kill president bush. an informant shows shihab possible weapons and a border

patrol uniform to possibly use in the attack. >> the threat from international terrorism is alive and well. isis has not gone away. these types of threats are very real. >> reporter: prosecutors say shihab, who claimed to have connections at the highest levels of isis wanted to kill mr. bush because he broke up the country with many iraqis dying. shihab, who is living in columbus, ohio, was being investigated for smuggling people across the mexican border and into the united states. at some point, court papers say he wanted to bring four iraqi apratives in to support the assassination, men who should be prepared to die. ohio senator rob portman: >> and they were going to choose to come across the mexican border because that was the easier way to get access to our country. we've got to deal with this issue. >> reporter: and the court records allege an iraqi general who supported u.s. operations was the suspect's second target. separately, a spokesman for president bush says he has all the confidence in the world in the secret service, law

enforcement, and intelligence communities. john. >> dickerson: catherine herridge, great reporting. thank you. now to the ongoing baby formula shortage. a second air force cargo plane loaded with formula from germany is expected to arrive in virginia tomorrow and will be greeted by first lady jill biden and the surgeon general. here's cbs' meg oliver. >> reporter: all eyes are on this nestle distribution center near allentown, pennsylvania, where the second emergency shipment of baby formula will be sent after arriving at washington dulles airport. 114 pallets of hypoallergenic formula for infants will be sorted for delivery to hospitals, families in need, and retailers nationwide, as soon as this weekend. in an effort to get them there faster, the federal government has waived drive time requirements for truckers transporting vital baby formula ingredients and packaging. meantime, the fed's slow response to safety concerns at the country's largest formula-making plant is coming under fire. the first bacterial infection

possibly linked to abbott's formula was reported in september. a whistleblower report followed in october. but the f.d.a. did not inspect the company's michigan plant until january 31. abbott voluntarily shut it down in february. health and human services secretary xavier becerra says the f.d.a.'s authority is limited. >> it is crazy to believe that in the 21st century, we don't have the authority to really get the industry, a very consolidated industry to tell us what things are looking like inside. if they're not policing themselves we have to do more to make sure we're doing the right thing for parents. we need that supply. >> reporter: parents, like heather hughes, the leesburg, virginia. her 11-year-old daughter, reagan, suffers from two rare gastrointestinal diseases and depends on a special formula to keep her alive. >> the government didn't take action until may. how does that sit with you? >> i am disappointed. they're just, like, too bad, too sad. and they didn't do anything

about it. >> reporter: trucks will start rolling into this distribution center about four hours after the plane lands in dulles tomorrow. this latest shipment is the eqaft of about a million eight-ounce bottles of formula. john. >> dickerson: meg oliver, thank you, meg. now to the election and primary day as voters in five states head to the polls. today's races are not just about the candidates but also about how much sway former president donald trump still holds over the republican party. that's especially true in georgia, where cbs' ed o'keefe is watching the results. >> reporter: voters turned out today across the state of georgia. the most high-profile race, the republican primary for governor, painting the current officeholder, brian kemp, against former senator david perdue, who is backed by former president donald trump. kemp got out-of-state support of his own from former vice president mike pence, who is openly defying his former boss. >> and when you say yes to

governor brian kemp tomorrow, you will send a deafening message all across america that the republican party is the party of the future. >> reporter: trump called into noa rally for perdue. >> get out and vote for david perdue. you will not be disappointed. >> reporter: the former president still fuming over kemp's refusal to change the results of georgia's 2020 election. >> brian kemp is a turncoat. he's a coward and a complete and total disaster. >> reporter: kemp's defiance of trump upset some voters we spoke to. >> i will not vote for brian kemp under any circumstances. >> reporter: but impresses others. >> we want a strong conservative leader here for georgia and brian kemp is the best person for that. >> reporter: perdue has repeatedly touts trump's lies about a stolen election and slumps in the polls. he slammed likely gubernatorial candidate stacey abrams for criticizing georgia's poor ranking and maternal mortality

and incarceration rates. >> she said just this weekend it's the worst state in the country in which to live. she's not from here. my inclination is to say, if you don't like it, go back to where you came from. >> reporter: today, abrams who has lived in the state since high school, responded. >> i have listened to republicans for the last six moths attack me, but they've done nothing to attack the challenges facing georgia. >> reporter: one of former prespresident trump's preferred candidates who is expected to win tonight is herschel walker. the college and n.f.l. star is expected to end up at an expensive contest with a fight for senate control against democratic senator raphael warnock. john. >> dickerson: ed o'keefe in atlanta, thanks, ed. there is breaking news from the korean peninsula. u.s. and say north korea fired three ballistic missiles today. they have conducted at least three other missile tests this year, one exanl of delivering a nuclear warhead to the continental united states.

we can hear, they're still firing. on the way, we're forced to duck under a tree. ( explosion ) down you go. .>> reporter: there is serious incoming from the russian side. this was an area they occupied up until six weeks ago. and they really want it back.

"by any measure, this is not normal," she says. "the russians are giving us a hard time, but we can tell they're getting weaker." after several more strikes, we're given thed toker run back the way we came and to our
