Pre-existing conditions, fighting extremism, and the Mike Flynn probe

Pre-existing conditions

The new Republican health care plan would cover pre-existing conditions, President Trump promised, in an interview with CBS News. This bill, unlike the GOP's first failed attempt to replace Obamacare, has the support of the conservative Freedom Caucus. But does it really guarantee coverage of pre-existing medical conditions? We look at the fine print.

Fighting extremism

More than 30 organizations, including six police departments, were tapped by the Obama administration to receive $10 million in grants to counter violent extremism in the U.S. Now, the Trump administration has put those grants on hold. We meet people on the front line in the fight against extremism, and find out how that money would have been used.

Flynn investigation

Former acting Attorney General Sally Yates is expected to testify next week before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee, and according to multiple sources her testimony is expected to be among the most important because it will reveal what she told the White House about former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. She is expected to reveal that she believed Flynn was "compromised."

Of late, passenger frustrations are one reason formerly high-flying airline stocks have started to lose altitude. We look at how irate passengers are hitting carriers' share prices.

Standing ovation  

Baltimore Orioles star Adam Jones received a huge standing ovation just a day after being subject to racial taunts at Boston's Fenway Park. The salute was a moment of redemption for Boston and Red Sox fans who, according to Jones, hurled peanuts and repeatedly used a racial slur against him.
