>> i was issued a letter on monday afternoon saying that i was being investigated by the i.g. >> reporter: the inspector general's investigation was ordered after an inspection of the mortuary in march. zwicherowski offered to show pentagon officials glenn's remains, which were being kept at dover, awaiting his burial at arlington national cemetery. one official called that, "clear inappropriate and personally shocking." zwicherowski says he only wanted to show the inspectors the embalming procedures used on remains kept for months. glenn had died in december. his widow wanted him buried in april, on their wedding anniversary. >> has nothing to do with john glenn. it had to do with the preparation of the remains. >> reporter: when we first met zwicherowski five years ago, he had blown the whistle on the mishandling and misplacing of remains of the fallen. basically, you were taken out of your job. >> correct. >> reporter: and assigned to-- >> a desk. >> reporter: an air force

concluded that zwicherowski's superiors are "out to get this guy for some reason." he was given his job back. but now, once again, he's been suspended. this time he suspects the pentagon is trying to get even for the trouble he caused before. >> well, i can't say for sure, but it sure is looking that way. >> reporter: whether this is payback to a whistleblower or disrespect of an american hero is now up to the air force inspector general to decide. anthony. >> mason: david martin, thanks, david. president trump's son-in-law and senior adviser is now under cruit me in the f.b.i. investigation of russian tampering with the u.s. election, and whether there was collusion by anyone in the trump campaign. but the bureau may be less interested in what jared kushner did than what he knows. here's jeff pegues. >> reporter: sources say the f.b.i. is scrutinizing kushner's contacts last year with russian ambassado

in december, during the transition, kushner and case met at trump tower. at kislyak's urging, kushner later met with the head of the state-run russian bank, veb, sergey gorkov. veb has deep die thais to russian intelligence, and gorkov himself is close to vladimir putin and was trained by the country's top spy agency. a former intelligence official familiar with the investigation described kushner as the director of everything, both during the campaign and now in the white house. that means any contacts he had with russia would receive a thorough review. >> it doesn't mean that he's necessarily done anything wrong or committed any crimes. >> reporter: asha rangappa is a former f.b.i. counter-intelligence agent. >> this is the first time that we've really seen someone in president trump's inner circle become a focus of this ongoing inquiry. >> reporter: in a statement, his attorney said mr. kushner

with congress what he knows about these meetings. he will do the same if he is contacted in connection with any other inquiry. the foeb is already scrutinizing mr. trump's former national security adviser, michael flynn. former campaign chairman paul manafort. former foreign policy adviser, carter page. and longtime friend, roger stone. but none is as close to the president as kushner. >> it's significant in that he holds some keys, as far as the f.b.i. believes, that's going to help them get to the bottom of what they're looking for in terms of who was involved. >> reporter: the senate intelligence committee believes fired f.b.i. director james comey may have answers. a week ago, committee said that he would testify after memorial day. anthony, we learned today that he is still coordinating with the special counsel over what he can and can't say. jeff pegues, thanks. >> mason: president trump today wrapped up his first ig

in sicily, and there are indications his position on a key issue may be shifting. here's major garrett. >> reporter: g-7 leaders stood on a bluff overlook the ionian sea to marvel at the sights and sounds of an italian military fly-over. leaders of the top economies, tried to find common ground amid president trump's "america first" positions on trade and climate change. european and canadian leaders want the president to endorse the 195-nation paris climate accord, something president obama signed but mr. trump has so far resisted. today, the president's top economic adviser, gary cohn, indicated mr. trump may be changing his mind. >> i think his views are evolving, and he came here to learn, and he came here to get smatter, and he came here to hear people's world leaders' views. >> reporter: the president won't make a decision until after the g-7 meeting. mr. trump also ruffled

diplomatic feathers by criticizing german trade practices during meeting with european commission members yesterday. a german magazine reported the president called germans "very bad." cohn later clarified. "he said they're very bad on trade, but he doesn't have a problem with germany." this trip began with the president telling authoritarian leaders in the middle east he would not lecture them on human rights. thee hen proceeded to lecture european democratics about nato spending. anthony, through this entire trip, the president has held not one press conference with traveling u.s. reporters. >> mason: major garrett in italy. a program note, defense secretary james mattis will be john dickerson's guest this sunday on "face the nation." hillary clinton, wellesley college class of '69, returned to her alma mater today to deliver the commencement address. she spoke about the man who was in the white house when she graduated, but seemed to be making a veiled reference to the man who's there now. >>

( laughter ) >> reporter: some say this antipress sentiment is being fueled by president trump. >> aew

fake news the enemy of the people, and they are. they are the enemy of the people. >> it's really a game changer. >> reporter: joel simon is executive director of the committee to protect journalists. >> what journalists are doing their job and asking tough questions and sometimes being a little pushy, that that would somehow justify some sort of physical attack, that's unacceptable. and we have to speak out about that. >> reporter: america's a long ways away from the kind of attacks sometimes including murder, that journalists have suffered in other countries. the worry, anthony, is that violence against journalists here could be an ominous step in that direction. >> mason: barry petersen in montana. thanks, barry. in egypt, a bus load of christians was ambushed as it was headed to a monastery south of cairo. masked gunmen riding in s.u.v.s opened fire on the bus. at least 28 were killed, including two girls ages two and four. no claim of responsibility, but
