President Trump has been briefed on both the risks and benefits of bombing Iran's Fordo nuclear facility. CBS News has learned the president believes that if talks fail, disabling the facility will be necessary because of the risk of weapons being produced in a relatively short period of time, multiple sources told CBS News. A federal bankruptcy judge will decide on Friday whether to approve a nearly $7.5 billion settlement involving OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma. Severe storms are bringing thunder, lightning and heavy rain to parts of the East Coast.
