Trucking companies tied to deadly accidents are skirting safety rules by changing their names and registrations, a CBS News investigation found. 
Jim Axelrod joins with more. 
A year-long investigation by CBS Chicago uncovered a disturbing pattern of wrongful police raids that often leave innocent children traumatized. 
Families impacted by these raids are sharing their stories. 
Dave Savini of CBS Chicago reports. 
As the Trump family's crypto ventures increase their wealth, the president's administration pauses a dozen federal crypto probes. 
A group of romance scammers based in Ghana have been hiring models and escorts to fool Americans. 
Debora Patta was given an inside look at the operation. 
A vote is expected next week to hold Steward Health Care CEO Ralph de la Torre in contempt of Congress after he refused to appear at a hearing this week despite being subpoenaed to testify. 
This follows a nearly two-year CBS News investigation into how private equity investors and de la Torre siphoned hundreds of millions of dollars from Steward hospitals. 
Dr. 
Jon LaPook has more. 
One of the largest hospital bankruptcies in history is leading to new concerns that some communities will be left without access to medical care. 
CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. 
Jon LaPook has more. 
Local and federal authorities face challenges in investigating and prosecuting romance scammers because the scammers are often based overseas. 
Jim Axelrod explains. 
A widow looking for love was scammed out of $1.5 million before her tragic death. 
Her daughter is now on a mission to share her mom's story, hoping it spurs change. 
A CBS News review has found that hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants have been accused of assaulting members of law enforcement during the attack on the U.S. 
Capitol. 
Former President Trump's comments praising them as "patriots" and calling them "hostages" have some police officers and Homeland Security analysts concerned. 
Scott MacFarlane reports. 
Could anything have been done to prevent the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge? 
Investigators say the bridge did have some kind of impact protection, but CBS News has learned that a majority of U.S. bridges do not. 
Stephen Stock has more. 
CBS News found children in Ghana as young as 5 years old using machetes nearly as big as themselves to harvest the cocoa beans that end up in some of America's most-loved chocolates like M&Ms and Snickers. 
Debora Patta reports. 
Thousands of veterans discharged from the military under the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy are still fighting to clear their record. 
CBS News chief investigative correspondent Jim Axelrod spoke with one veteran who has fought for years to regain her honor. 
It's been more than 10 years since the law known as "don't ask, don't tell" was repealed, allowing for gay service members to serve openly. 
But a CBS News investigation found many of those whose military careers were ended by the policy are still missing out on honorable discharge status and benefits. 
Jim Axelrod reports. 
A CBS News investigation found that key technology in some of the drones that Russia is using to hit Ukraine is made by American companies. 
Chris Livesay takes a look. 
During the pandemic, online mental health companies began to offer treatment for ADHD, often prescribing Adderall, a controlled substance. 
One mother says her son obtained an Adderall prescription that he shouldn't have been able to. 
Anna Werner investigates. 
Gun control advocates have filed a complaint with the FTC, alleging a gunmaker "preys on at-risk young men." 
CBS News identified similar complaints against gunmakers going back to 1996, but no evidence that the marketing practices were investigated further. 
Catherine Herridge reports. 
A CBS News investigation found that making an arrest is not the only way the Chicago Police Department closes a case. 
In something called “exceptional means,” police take credit for clearing cases even though justice for families was never served. 
Megan Hickey has more on the series "Crime Without Punishment: Unsolved Murder in America."

Catherine Herridge spoke with a top Republican senator who's investigating the business dealings. 
Food prices, especially the cost of meat, are on the rise -- with corporations citing the pandemic and inflation. 
But, corporate greed may also be a major factor in the price hike. 
Manuel Bojorquez investigates. 
Powdered baby formula may be linked to at least five infant illnesses, including possibly two deaths, the Food and Drug Administration warned earlier this week. 
But there may be more cases than have been reported. 
Nikki Battiste has the latest. 
Some veterans say VA experts have wrongly denied their disability claims related to contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. 
Catherine Herridge reports. 
A CBS News investigation found that the sale of illegal drugs is booming on social media, making access easier for teenagers. 
Tom Hanson reports. 
Emily Brearley said the military didn't keep her safe after she reported domestic violence to the Air Force.

Controversy surrounds the "baby hatch," a place where desperate parents in China can leave a baby they can't care for. 
The increasing number of abandoned newborns has overwhelmed the government system, causing hatches to shut down. 
One family faces criminal charges after finding out they left their baby to die at a closed "hatch." 
Seth Doane reports. 
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, commonly known as ASPCA, raises hundreds of millions each year to rescue and protect animals. 
A CBS News investigation looked into the charity’s spending. 
Jim Axelrod reports. 
In part one of CBS News' series on sexual assault in the military, we spoke with the parents of a soldier who say the military failed their daughter after she was sexually assaulted while serving abroad, and that those failures ultimately led to her death. 
Norah O'Donnell reports. 
In part four of a CBS News investigation into domestic violence in the military, a former Army attorney said the crisis has only compounded after 20 years of war. 
Norah O'Donnell has more. 
Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall ordered an investigation into domestic violence cases following a CBS News report that found the military is failing spouses, partners and service members who report abuse.

Kris Van Cleave reports.
