manship. clinton campaign chair john podesta's emails were posted three months later. >> i don't see the president-elect as a legitimate president. >> reporter: georgia congressman and civil rights icon john lewis made that startling statement to nbc. >> i think the russians participated in helping this man get elected, and they helped destroy the candidacy of hillary clinton. >> reporter: he and at least seven other democrats have announced they will boycott next friday's inauguration. one of them is arizona's raul grijalva. >> i will be at home in arizona. >> reporter: democrats accused comey today of a double standard, speaking publicly about the clinton investigation pre-election, even as he stayed mum about russia's attempts to help donald trump. but, scott, they've been reluctant to call on comey to step down for fear of who mr. trump might choose to replace him. >> pelley: and the white house said today the

attempting to influence the election. nancy cordes for us on capitol hill. na, in ce, thank you. also today, the nation's second largest police force has been accused of bias and brutality. the u.s. justice department investigation is a step in reforming chicago's police, and dean reynolds is there. >> reporter: the justice department probe was launched in uproar of a black youth killing by a white chicago cop. he shot 17 times because he said the 17-year-old was a threat. it's the type of practice the report suggests going back decades that includes civil rights violations, racial bias and deficient training of officers, a practice the report said that, "unnecessarily endangers themselves and others and results in unnecessary and avoidable shootings."

distrust within the very crime-ridden neighborhoods from which police need the most cooperation to be effective. it also showed police used force almost 10 times more often against blacks than against whites. attorney general loretta lynch: >> all of these issues are compounded by poor supervision and oversight, leading to low officer moral, and erosion in officer accountability. >> reporter: the city will now engage in negotiations on what's called a consent decree, to work out the improvements the justice department is seek. chicago mayor rahm emanuel: >> this is a moment of truth for the city. this is not going to be change that is going to be done overnight. on the road to reform, there's no u-turn event. >> reporter: the chicago report comes a day after an agreement to reform the baltimore police, one of 25 departments nationwide investigated during the obama administration. but, scott, the future of these investigations may be in some doub

sending shrapnal into criefers o drivers and passengers. the defect has prompted the largest safety recall in u.s. history. >> the risk that they allowed to happen is really reprehensible. >> reporter: barbara macade of quaid said they put profits ahead of safety. >> they routinely discussed in email messages the need to falsify reports to its customers. they referred in their emails to this process as "xxing the data." >> reporter: in february of 2005, one executive e-mailed the others saying they had no choice but to manipulate the data. another wrote in june of that year, they needed to "cross the bridge together." in addition, takata has agreed to plead guilty to felony wire fraud and pay $1 billion in penalties. >> not talk to me when i try to talk to her anymore. it's really hard. >> reporter: paige hay's grandmother, patricia mincy, was paralyzed after her defect

air bag overinflated in a minor crash in 2014. mincy died due to complications from her injuries in april. the family's lawyer, ted leopold, said today's announcement is just a start. >> i think there is still more to be done, not in looking towards the japanese company, but also in looking at individuals involved in the u.s. takata entity as well. >> reporter: takata says it deeply regrets the circumstances that have led to this situation. scott, the three executives live in japan and prosecutors are working to extradite them to the u.s. >> pelley: kris van cleave in washington. a massive ice storm is expected to coat the roads this weekend from the texas panhandle to pennsylvania. omar villafranca is in hominy, oklahoma, tonight. omar. >> reporter: tens of millions of people are in the path of this winter blast. oklahoma's governor declared a state of emergency yesterday so crews could start prepping roads. and there's already some ice

you can see it here on this fence. that can pose a problem if it gets on power lines, it can snap the power lines. just up the road in joplin, missouri, the winter storm blew through and left a coat of ice all across the city. icicles were hanging off signs, and the area was covered in a thin layer of ice, making roads very slippery. drivers in the show me state also have to keep an eye out for this-- trees toppled by ice that end up block the road. road crews have been busy salting and sanding major roadsides to make them passable. the weather is affecting the weekend n.f.l. game before kickoff. the contest between the kansas city chief, haebl turned from a day game to a night game. that will give road crews more time to prep those roads and make it safer for fans. >> pelley: omar villafranca, omar, thank you. we noticed a new national poll today in which

describe russia as a threat, and that is up 6% since u.s. intelligence caught the russianing red handed meddling in the election. all of this made us wonder just how dirty politics can get in russia itself. so we asked elizabeth palmer to find out. >> reporter: this is the video that changed natalya pelevina's life. an opposition activist, she was the secret lover of mikhail kasyanov, a married, former russian prime minister, turned critic of and challenger to president putin. neither of them knew about the tiny camera hidden in the bedroom wall. >> you have to have a file, as we say in russia oeverybody. >> reporter: nine months later, and still active in the opposition, she has no doubt russia's security services recorded the video and leaked it to national tv to damage the opposition. >> when the film came out and the very first frame i saw, and i saw myself, a

in that bedroom, yeah, everything became clear, and it all just came together. >> reporter: did you feel sick? >> i felt numb. >> reporter: did it ruin your life, for some time? >> well, i wouldn't give them that pleasure. no. i would say definitely it affected my life and not just for a period of time but forever. >> reporter: the spying didn't stop, and she still feels targeted and exposed. this week, donald trump said if putin likes donald trump, that's an asset, not a liability. but, says natalya, with putin, "like" has nothing to do with it. >> think of him as somebody who has been violating the rights of s own people for a long time now, and who is potentially very dangerous

>> reporter: as for natalya's own case, scott, she said at least in another country she would be able to sue the tv station that broadcast the video, but here in russia, there's no rule of law, and nobody takes on the security service wens. >> pelley: elizabeth palmer at the kremlin wall tonight. elizabeth, thank you. well, no one has been interviewed on cement more often than barack obama. it's not even close he will make his 18th appearance this sunday with steve kroft. steve talked to the president about his wife and daughters. >> how do they feel? >> they're ready to go. i mean, the girls, obviously, you know they-- they are now of an age in which the constraints of secret service and bubbles and all that stuff has gotten pretty old. michelle never fully took to the scti

lady, but it's not her preference. and so-- >> reporter: she was the hardest sell. >> she was the hardest sell, and she never fully embraced being in the public spotlight, which is ironic, given how good she is. having sailed, that she would damage, and i certainly feel that we have a lot of memories here. our kids grew up here. some of our best friends have been-- been made here in this place. there have been moments that were highlights for us, that, you know, are going to be hard to duplicate. >> reporter: she's glad you did it, though. >> she is now. i think i've said this story before. you know, she used to say to our friends, "barack is exactly ceend of guy i want to be president. i just wish he didn't want to do it when i was married to him." >> reporter: but you're still all right. i mean, everything's okay? >> s
