had directed the russia investigation, and directed us to investigate mike flynn. and they specifically pointed to a meeting in the oval office where people were alleging this had happened. well, i had been in that meeting, and i knew that didn't happen. so i did also want to be able to get the truth out there. >> o'donnell: so here you are, just diagnosed with breast cancer, and you feel like you have to go and tell, not only the congress but the world, the truth. >> right. not ideal timing. >> o'donnell: how did you manage it all? >> it was just a few days since i'd gotten the diagnosis, and i would find, as i was trying to get ready for this testimony, i would find myself googling the survival rates for papillary cancer, or different treatments. you know, you couldn't-- i couldn't help but be very distracted by that. >> o'donnell: the type of breast cancer yates had is rare, and she needed a double mastectomy. >> so, i testified in the senate judiciary committee. a couple of weeks later, spoke at the democratic national convention. and then the day after that,
3:22 am
went in for pre-op, and had surgery the following day. >> o'donnell: yates is now in private practice, and the national women's soccer league has just hired her to investigate allegations of sexual abuse. so, your message to women? >> get a mammogram. get the other diagnostic tests that so many people have had to be putting off during the pandemic. >> o'donnell: the statistics about the pandemic and cancer screening are really alarming. nearly 10,000 people over the next decade will die from breast cancer and colorectal cancer, because of pandemic-related delays. >> it may very well be a looming health crisis that we haven't even really fully begun to comprehend yet. people can try to do something about it, by getting in now. you may have missed those tests during the pandemic time, but it's not too late to go in for those tests now. >> o'donnell: very important reminder. and yates says she's cancer-free essn all right, there is much more

he's just released fifth studio album, took to twitter to say it's his proudest piece of work. moresonnected ♪ >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news". ♪ >> o'donnell: good evening and thank you so much for joining us, in the words of president biden his presidency will be determined by what happened in the next week. before flying off to europe today the president unveiled new framework for his build back better plan, we'll explain what made it into the proposal and what didn't but first want to put it in perspective just how much spending this on climate change initiatives, the price tag $1.75 trillion combined with the bipartisan infrastructure
3:31 am
bill and recovery bill passed in march is close to $5 trillion that is a lot of money. but president biden says, if the bills are passed, it would be more significant than what presidents f.d.r. and l.b.j. accomplished, combined. cbs' nancy cordes leads off our coverage tonight from rome, the first stop on the president's trip. good evening, nancy. >> reporter: good evening, norah. this breakthrough comes about seven months after the presi first unveiled his plan. and this newly-released 1,700-page bill still doesn't contain everything the democrats wanted. but tonight, the white house is still touting it as one of the biggest investments in education and childcare ever. just before jetting off to europe, president biden made one last dash to capitol hill-- part celebration, part pep talk. >> i think we're going to be in good shape. >> reporter: he said he's confident he now has the votes to pass a $1.75 trillion plan that would drive down childcare
3:32 am
costs for most low- and middle-income families, and establish universal pre-k for more than six million three- and four-year-olds. the bill would also boost the supply of affordable housing, increase college pell grants, and close a medicaid gap to cover four million more people. >> it is probably the most consequential bill since the 1960s. >> reporter: this new deal comes after weeks of talks with two moderate senate democrats, who still stopped just short of embracing the bill today. >> i look forward to continue working in good faith. >> reporter: to win their support, president biden has dropped some progressive priorities, like guaranteed paid family leave, and free community college. medicare would be expanded to cover hearing aids, but not vision or dental care. >> it's been a long and difficult negotiation. >> reporter: treasury secretary janet yellen, already in rome, helped to broker the compromise. i can see a lot of americans saying, "wow, a lot of these provisions sound great. what i am really worried about right now is inflation."
3:33 am
>> well, you know, some of the most important ways in which families see inflation is, they feel they can't afford childcare. and what they're going to see is a massive reduction in the amount that they have to spend for childcare. >> reporter: republicansed >> anybody who votes for any of these bills, without seeing the fine print, is like a rock, only dumber. >> reporter: democrats insist this bill would be fully paid for, in part with the new surtax on billionaires and multi-millionaires. now, a vote probably won't come for at least a week, so the president is going to need to keep his entire party together until then, which won't be quite as easy to do, norah, from here in rome. >> o'donnell: all right, nancy cordes in rome for us, thank you. well, now, let's get to that breaking news on former new york governor andrew cuomo. tonight, a misdemeanor complaint has been filed alleging a sex
3:34 am
crime. cuomo was forced to resign amid complaints of sexual harassment and unwanted touching from former staffers-- allegations he has denied. we get more from cbs' jericka duncan. >> reporter: months after resigning, former new york governor andrew cuomo now faces a criminal complaint of forcibly touching a woman in the governor's executive mansion last year. according to the complaint filed by an albany county sheriff investigator, "cuomo did intentionally forcibly place his hand under the blouse shirt of the victim, specifically the victim's left breast, for the purpose of degrading and gratifying his sexual desires." i sat down with one of the alleged victims, brittany commisso, cuomo's former executive assistant, for an exclusive interview last august. >> he put his hand up my blouse and cupped my breast, over my bra. >> reporter: while the complaint does not name the alleged victim, the description of the incident closely mirrors commisso's claims.
3:35 am
>> it was probably in the most sexually aggressive manner than any of the other hugs that he had given me. >> reporter: an investigation by the new york attorney general's office accused cuomo of groping, kissing, and making sexually suggestive comments to 11 women. the former governor has vehemently denied crossing the line. >> let me be clear-- that never happened. >> reporter: cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman. >> reporter: it appears that they believe-- the government believes that there is corroborative evidence. however, the only two people in that room are the alleged victim and the defendant. >> reporter: we reached out to commisso and her attorney, and have not heard back. but ultimately, the albany county district attorney's office will decide whether or not to bring charges based off of this complaint. and just this evening, i spoke to cuomo's attorney, who told me that, "the former governor," she said, "never assaulted anyone," and she also said that she believes that this filing was politically motivated.
