Now the senate is looking into what we found. Cbs news chief medical correspondent dr. Jon lapook traveled to massachusetts, where one companys efforts to squeeze out profits has left a Health Care System reeling. Reporter this was the moment last october when nabil huck first held their new daughter at bostons st. Elizabeth Medical Center. I wasnt expecting it to be this blissful. Reporter that bliss was shortlived. Sanjita experienced cascading simms, including bleeding from her liver. Doctors said they wanted to insert a plug to stop the bleeding. When st. Elizabeths didnt have the coil, she was transferred to another hospital. They couldnt revive her. It was shocking, you know. I said what exactly happened . Reporter what exactly happened, including why sanjita died is the subject of an investigation. The hospital is one of dozens across the u. S. Acquired with backing from private Equity Investors by a Company CalledSteward Health care. Last year, our cbs news investigation found a trail of unpaid bills at steward hospitals around the country, leading to a shortage of potentially lifesaving supplies. These splice we dont have them. So why dont we have them . Because theyre not paying the vendor, because theyre in financial crisis. Reporter st. Elizabeths own medical staff filed this complaint with the States Health department, saying the manufacturer repossessed the coil weeks before sanjitas death because steward hadnt paid its bills. Its outrageous. Its uneacceptable. Reporter why outrageous . Because the splice werent available that could have saved her life. Reporter in september steward announced it was closing one of its massachusetts hospitals. The company blamed the financial woes on the people and lower reimbursement rates for medicare and medicaid. Reporter do you buy that . I think thats hogwash. Theyve taken money away from these assets which are so important, hospitals that provide needed care and using that money to line their own pockets. Reporter financial records show in early 2021, stewards owners paid themselves millions in dividends. Around the same time, stewards ceo ralph de la torre acquired this 190 foot yacht. Its price tag, an estimated 40 million. He declined an interview. Im disgusted. Its greed. Reporter nabil says he is trying to focus on the small milestones in his daughters life instead of wonderng whether sanjita would still be here if the couple didnt deliver at a steward hospital. Its still surreal that shes not here. Reporter in a statement to cbs news, Steward Health care said it is receiving a cash infusion that will, among other things, allow it to address vendor obligations. The company also said privacy law prevented it from commenting on sanjitas death. Governor healy told me, quote, the sooner steward is out of our state, the better. Norah . Important investigation.

The Supreme Court agrees to decide if donald trump is immune from prosecution on charges of trying to overturn the 2020 election. Weve never been here before. Weve never had a president who was criminally charged. Tonight, the context. Could it mean donald trump will need to spend weeks in a courtroom instead of out on the campaign trail in the heat of the 2024 election . This trial requires a lot of real estate. It will consume everything in its path. Announcer this is the cbs overnight news. Good evening. Im norah odonnell, and thank you for being with us. We want to begin with the major news from the u. S. Supreme court. The justices agreeing to consider whether donald trump must stand trial overcharges he plotted to overturn the 2020 president ial election. The former president has claimed that hes entitled to absolute immuity because he was president at the time. A lower court has rejected that. And today we learned that the highest court in the land acknowledging the historic importance of this case will hear arguments the week of april 22nd. Thats a little less than two months from now. This sets the stage for a landmark ruling on president ial power. Just to give you some context, that week that the court will hear these arguments, donald trump is expected to be sitting in a new york city courtroom, where the criminal trial related to his alleged hush money payments to porn star stormy daniels. Cbs Scott Macfarlane joins us now. He has covered january 6th closer than anybody. Scott, this is a significant development. Yeah, norah, todays decision means we could expect a blockbuster ruling by this summer. A ruling that could upend the 2024 election. The Supreme Court set the stage for landmark arguments in two months. Its order tonight says it will hear arguments the week of april 22nd into whether and if what extent does a former president enjoy president ial immunity for criminal prosecution for conduct alleged for official acts while in office. Weve never been here before. Weve never had a president who was criminally charged. And theyre asking a fairly straight forward question. Does a president enjoy absolute immunity from criminal prosecution based on official acts. Reporter the decision delays indefinitely the trial involving trumps efforts to overturn the 2020 election. With the Supreme Court decision not expected until may or june, it could endanger chances to hold the trial here in washington before the 2024 election. As a president , you to have immunity. Reporter trump faces four felony charges, including conspiracy an obstruction for allegedly plotting a scheme to defy voters and hold on to power. Were going to walk down to the capitol. Reporter special counsel jack smith has argued trump used the riotous attack on the capitol by his supporters as a further tool to do so. The central cause of january 6th was one man, donald trump. None of this would have happened without him. Reporter his appeal claims he is immune from prosecution because the alleged acts were official acts he took while president. It was rejected promptly by judge Tanya Chutkan who says president s dont have get out of jail free cards. Then it was rejected again this month by a washington, d. C. Appeals court. Though it was rejected, the argument has succeeded in delaying this trial. The arguments the Supreme Court st for the week of april 22nd, thats the week we project jury deliberations in a trump d. C. Trial. Norah, no comment from special counsel jack smith tonight. All right, Scott Macfarlane, thank you. I want to bring in cbs news chief Legal Correspondent jan crawford and cbs news chief Election Campaign correspondent robert costa. All right, jan, whats behind the courts decision to take this case . I think they had to take this case. Even under Supreme Court rules, when youve got an issue this tremendously significant under the constitution thats never been decided, which this case is, thats the kind of case you want the Supreme Court to have the final say. And theyve set a timeline that means they could have a decision by the end of june, which is what jack smith had asked for. This is all part of them trying to decide this and get it done quickly. But i also want to point out that just because theyve taken it doesnt mean that they disagree with the lower courts ruling against trump. Theyre going to take a look at this, and i think they may be very skeptical of trumps sweeping arguments that he is ab
