Jon M. Chu Talks ‘Wicked’ | How Guinness Records Began 70 Years Ago

from CBS Mornings on the Go · host CBS News

The House and the Senate passed a bill on Tuesday to force the Justice Department to release its files related to Jeffrey Epstein. It comes after months of opposition from President Trump and GOP leadership - and after years of lobbying from some of Epstein's accusers. CBS News' Caitlin Huey-Burns reports. Annie Farmer, who testified she was sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell when she was 16, speaks to "CBS Mornings" about Congress' vote to release the files. She said she's hopeful there will be transparency following this vote, but still has concerns. She also spoke about Maxwell, saying, "she needs to serve her full sentence." Anna Kepner was traveling with her family in the Caribbean when the 18-year-old's body was found by a cruise ship worker. The FBI is looking into whether it was foul play and, according to a court filing in an unrelated family matter, a criminal case may be opened against a stepsibling of Kepner. "Wicked: For Good" director Jon M. Chu joins "CBS Mornings" to talk about the highly-anticipated movie, his journey to working on the films and casting. The movie takes place right before and during the events of the 1939 movie, "The Wizard of Oz." Guinness World Records has been tracking records for 70 years. Nancy Chen reports on how it got started, how records are set and some of the people achieving the feats. It's been 30 years since the release of The Smashing Pumpkins' "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness." Now, frontman Billy Corgan is collaborating with the Lyric Opera of Chicago to stage a new interpretation of the album with a 60-piece orchestra.
