Fbis mishandling of the investigation into the disgraced doctor. Im especially sorry that there were people at the fbi who had their own chance to stop this monster and failed. Norah the Cbs Evening News starts now. Good evening. Im norah odonnell, and thank you for being with us. We do want to begin tonight with that Breaking News of a major settlement between the department of justice and some of the survivors of convicted sex offender larry nassar. Cbs news has learned that the deal is in its final stages, and there are reports the amount could be up to 100 million. And the news comes three years after a department of justice Watchdog Report outlined the fbis mishandling of the case, including how agents were slow to investigate the Abuse Allegations into nassar. He was the former team doctor for the Womens National gymnastics team. Olympic stars simone biles, mckayla maroney, and aly raisman are among the gymnasts who sued the fbi and the settlement, when finalized, could bring total payments over nassars abuse to nearly 1 billion. Cbss Caitlin Hueyburns is going to start us off tonight with this landmark deal. Reporter this settlement could be the final hurdle for justice for some of the top names in gymnastics, abused by former team doctor larry nassar, abuse reported to the fbi and mishandled by the agency for almost a year. I also blame an entire system that enabled and perpetrated his abuse. They allowed a Child Molester to go free for more than a year. Reporter the department of justice is close to a deal that would pay them and around 100 others 100 million, according to the wall street journal. This comes after a 2021 Justice DepartmentInspector General report found the agency failed to respond to the allegations with the utmost seriousness and urgency, and 70 or more Young Athletes were allegedly sexually abused by nassar after the first complaint against him was filed with the the fbi. Rachael denhollander was the first woman to publicly accuse nassar of abuse, though she wont be part of the settlement because her abuse preceded the fbis failures. What does this kind of settlement mean . Im grateful for a measure of accountability. We need to start having the hard questions about how to bring a level of accountability to law enforcement. Its a very big deal. Its the fbi acknowledging they screwed up, and they screwed up big, and that there were real consequences to their actions, or frankly lack of action. Reporter and it is rare for the government to issue a largescale payout like this. It reflects the seriousness of the fbis missteps in this case, and there are reports tonight, norah, that this deal could be finalized within weeks. Norah accountability and justice, so important for these survivors. Caitlin hueyburns, thank you so much.

Cbss Elise Preston reports. The motion to overrule my ruling fails. Reporter today, Arizona House democrats pleaded with republicans to allow a vote to overturn the abortion ban. We are the representatives of the people, and the people want this repealed. This is what we are arguing about right now, whether or not we should overturn something that is archaic, something that is going to really impact women in arizona. Reporter despite highprofile republicans like former President Trump saying the ban goes too far, the attempt to repeal it didnt get enough votes. Democrats needed 31 votes to prevail and were just one vote short. They had hoped at least two republicans would repeal the effort. In the end, only one did. Some of us who believe that abortion is, in fact, the murder of children. Reporter opponents of Abortion Rights welcomed todays outcome. We need to save freedom in our state. We need to save our constitution. Our rights are under threat every single day. Including the right to life. Reporter Arizona Democrats also tried to repeal the ban last week, but were prevented by the republican majority. Shame shame reporter today, Abortion Rights advocates vowed to press on. Any extreme ban will kill women and pregnant people. It will force pregnancy on people who cannot or do not want to have a child. Reporter they say they have gathered enough signatures for a November Ballot initiative that would restore Abortion Rights until fetal viability, which doctors say is between 23 and 24 weeks. I dont have the words to describe how angry i am about it. This is the reason why i am out here, is to be part of this community. Reporter abortion is currently legal in arizona up to 15 weeks. The State Attorney General says if the ban isnt repealed, it could go into effect as early as june. Norah . Norah Elise Preston, thank you very much.

They have faulty engineering that, you know, they are trying to shove on our throats. Reporter the faa is investigating those claims, but boeing says they are inaccurate, pointing to Stress Testing like this, saying extensive and rigorous testing of the fuselage and heavy maintenance checks of nearly 700 inservice airplanes to date have found zero evidence of airframe fatigue. We are fully confident in the safety and durability of the 787 dreamliner. 737 max whistleblower ed pierson told senators he has given documents relating to the door panel that blew out during january to the fbi. Documents, potentially the ones the ntsb says boeing previously indicated did not exist. The actual documentation that they have been saying has not been available, it is available. It is available, and the fbi and it has been available for months. Reporter now, we just spoke with the National Transportation safety board. While its investigators have not reviewed ed piersons documents, they tell us they do not believe the same as the ones they had been seeking.

They offer 61 billion for ukraine, billions more for israel, but they will have separate votes, which could help embattled House Speaker mike johnson win enough votes from both parties. It also could fuel criticism from republicans, including those trying to oust him, that do not want money for ukraine. Johnson tonight says he doesnt need democrats to intervene to save him, but multiple democrats told cbs news they would if it meant more money for ukraine. And, norah, the bill got a big jolt.
