tonight more than 400 victims of alleged child sexual abuse are suing the state of maryland over crimes they say took place years ago. it comes after a new law went into effect that lifts the civil statute of limitations. in a cbs news investigation, cbs's adriana diaz spoke to one of the survivors. >> i used to hear keys turn at night, but i never knew what it was until it happened personally to me. >> reporter: 49-year-old claudia mclean was just 13 when she was sent to this maryland juvenile detention center for stealing bicycles. instead of reform, she got trauma. >> body clench because you don't know what the [ bleep ] is going on. >> reporter: mclean says she told her mother, who complained to authorities. >> and nothing happened? >> nothing. i'm just starting to come to terms with about ten years ago to be honest. >> we can't expect children to come forward in the same manner, the same short time period that an adult would.
3:19 am
>> reporter: attorney sharon iskara is leading lawsuits, including mclean's, against the state, alleging it failed to protect children. >> how many people have come forward to you? >> over 400. the number is rising. >> reporter: cbs news found more than a dozen reports over the last six decades that detail abuse in maryland's juvenile detention. >> why not go after the perpetrators themselves? >> because the state put them in charge, and the people who read these reports, they could fix it. and i don't know why they didn't. >> reporter: maryland's attorney general's office says it cannot comment due to pending litigation. >> this really allows us to open their books, find out what they were doing. >> reporter: the new law was proposed by maryland state delegate c.t. wilson, who was abused as a child by his adoptive father. >> how many times did you introduce this legislation? >> at least six. at least. it was very surreal to see that, to see a signature on it. >> what do you say to the people who made it possible for you to bring this lawsuit?
3:20 am
>> thank you. without them, we'd still be sitting in silence. >> reporter: what's interesting here, norah, is that by lifting the civil statute of limitations for these claims, maryland is essentially exposing itself to lawsuits like this one. 37 other states have introduced legislation that would expand the window for victims to come forward and seek justice. >> such an important investigation. adriana diaz, thank you very much. simone biles pulls off another vault for the history books. books. that's next. looking for a bladder leak pad that keeps you dry? when i'm at work, i need to feel secured. what i i'm lookingng for inin a pad is,s, susuper thin, , super absosor. all of thehe things ththat you'u're lookingng for in a a, that iss always d discreet. - thisis is thin.. - my p pad is thicick. let's puput it toto the test.t. let's s do it! look how it's absororbing! and lockcking it right on in! - lookok at that!! - no liqiquid, no nonothing. totally y absorbed!! - you fefeel no wetntness. - - oh my goshsh! are you a beliliever now?? i'm a a believer!! i got t to get somome alwaysys discreet!t!

finally tonight, we want to talk a moment to pay tribute to two colleagues we've lost here at cbs news. last week, a beloved member of the 48 hours team, johnia kobian died unexpectedly. he's remembered as kind and supportive and for having an encyclopedic mind. john was 60 years old. and the evening news family is mourning the loss of mark ludlow. mark was known as one of the best editors in the business. working out of the london bureau for nearly 40 years, mark covered it all from wars to disasters to royal extravaganzas. cheerful, talented, and hugely
3:29 am
loved, and simply just wonderful. just last week in a hospital bedside ceremony, mark married his longtime partner, and cbs news producer jane whitfield. mark was 63 years old. our thoughts and prayers are with their families. and that's the overnight news for this tuesday. for some of you, the news continues. for others, check back later for "cbs mornings" and follow us online anytime at cbsnews.com. reporting from here in the nation's capital, i'm norah o'donnell. this is "cbs news flash." i'm shanelle kaul in new york. congressman matt gaetz has filed a motion to remove kevin mccarthy from his role as speaker of the house.
3:30 am
the conservative republican has been critical of mccarthy's decision over the weekend to work with democrats to avoid a government shutdown. mccarthy replied on social media saying bring it on. hunter biden will appear in federal court in delaware today to be arraigned on gun charges. the president's son is expected to plead not guilty. an earlier plea deal with the justice department collapsed under scrutiny from the judge. and beyoncé is coming to the big screen. her new movie, titled "renaissance: a film by beyoncé," captures her current world tour. it will open in amc theaters on december 1st. for more, download the cbs news app on your cell phone or connected tv. im shanelle kaul, cbs news, new york. >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." tonight after years of donald trump bragging about his
3:31 am
net worth, a trial in new york is under way and taking direct aim at just that. the fraud trial against the former president, his family, and the trump organization started today. prosecutors accuse trump and his company of inflating the value of his assets and net worth on financial documents. before entering the courtroom, trump called the trial a sham and verbally attacked the judge and new york's attorney general letitia james. last week the same judge found trump, his sons don junior and eric, and the trump organization had inflated his value by billions of dollars for a decade. this isn't a criminal case, so no jail time. but trump could be forced to give up his famous new york properties like trump tower. cbs's robert costa is going to start us off tonight from outside the courthouse in manhattan. good evening, robert. >> reporter: good evening, norah. former president trump did not need to show up here today, but he decided to anyway because sources tell me for him, this was deeply personal, and he wanted to defend the company and
3:32 am
reputation he built over decades, so intertwined with his life and with his political career. former president donald trump sat stone-faced in court this morning. the fate of his new york properties, including trump tower, and his family business at stake. new york attorney general letitia james, who brought the $250 million fraud lawsuit against trump and his adult children, sat just feet away from the former president and his son, eric. >> no matter how powerful you are, no matter how much money you think you may have, no one is above the law. >> reporter: trump used the occasion to attack james and the judge. >> we have a racist attorney general who is a horror show, who ran on the basis that she was going to get trump before she even knew anything about me. >> reporter: trump is accused of misrepresenting his net worth by over $3.5 billion, inflating his assets to secure better loan terms. he allegedly claimed his trump tower penthouse was nearly three times its size and valued mar-a-lago as high as
3:33 am
$739 million, nearly ten times its worth, according to james' office. attorney kevin wallace told the judge they were lying year after year after year. trump's former fixer, michael cohen, said in a deposition played in court that he and former trump organization cfo allen weisselberg were tasked with inflating assets to obtain the number that trump wanted. >> let's say it said he was worth $6 billion. well, he wanted to be higher on the forbes list, and he then said, "i'm actually not worth $6 billion. i'm worth 7. in fact, i think it's actually now worth 8." >> reporter: trump attorney chris kiez called cohen a serial liar. the former president called the trial rigged and a witch hunt days after the judge ruled he had committed fraud. >> what we have here is an attempt to hurt me in an election. >> reporter: i was inside the courtroom today, sitting just steps behind the former
3:34 am
president, and tensions were high. the attorney general sat in the first row. she watched trump's every move, and trump at one point glared at her as he left the room. this is a dramatic scene unfolding as trump tries to protect the company he has long led. norah. >> quite a day. robert costa, thank you. back here in washington, kevin mccarthy is fighting to keep his job as fellow republicans threaten to remove him as speaker of the house. the threat comes after mccarthy worked with democrats to avoid a government shutdown. cbs's scott macfarlane reports the last-minute deal is only good for 45 days. >> reporter: 48 hours after a shutdown that would have stripped the paychecks of millions of federal workers -- >> the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. >> reporter: -- house speaker kevin mccarthy risks being stripped of his job. florida republican matt gaetz, a notoriously fierce critic, is planning an attempt to oust the speaker, slamming him for working with democrats. >> it is going to be difficult for my republican friends to keep calling president biden
3:35 am
feeble while he continues to take speaker mccarthy's lunch money in every negotiation. >> reporter: despite being pressed by cbs news, democratic leaders haven't said if they'd join the effort to target mccarthy. if they did, only a handful of his republican colleagues need to vote against mccarthy to put him in danger. >> it is what it is, and i'm going to just focus on what the american people want. >> reporter: some republicans are also calling for the ouster and prosecution of new york democrat jamaal bowman, a former middle school principal who they accuse of pulling a house office building fire alarm to delay the tense proceedings saturday. bowman apologized and said he thought the alarm would open a locked doorway as he rushed to votes. the house administration committee and u.s. capitol police are investigating. meanwhile, president biden is urging congress to restore aid for ukraine. >> too many lives are at stake, too many children, too many people. >> reporter: which was cut this weekend to appease some conservative republicans who think taxpayers have spent enough. >> is there any risk in waiting to provide that aid?
3:36 am
>> certainly on the battlefield. but more importantly, the risk comes in what our partner nations are saying. >> reporter: the republicans seeking to oust mccarthy accuse him of cutting a secret side deal with the white house, guaranteeing ukraine funding. mccarthy denied it tonight, and the president, despite referencing it yesterday, didn't address shouted questions from reporters about it late today at the white house, norah. >> scott macfarlane, thank you. history will be made in the u.s. senate tomorrow when laphonza butler is sworn in to fill the seat of the late california democrat dianne feinstein. butler is the president of emily's list, a fund-raising group that backs female candidates who support abortion rights. she will be the first openly gay senator to represent california and the only black woman in the u.s. senate. butler will fill the seat at least until next year's election. late night talk shows are returning to the airwaves tonight following the end of the wga strike. the year of the strike has seen unions nationwide demonstrating their collective power.
3:37 am
the latest example is what could be the largest walkout of health care workers in american history. cbs's elise preston reports on the new developments from the bargaining table. >> reporter: they're back. >> anything happen in the last five months? >> reporter: with writers again on the job, late night talk shows have returned. while one hollywood strike has settled, today the actors and production companies are back at the bargaining table. they've been out since july. >> if they gave in to all the union's demands, it would barely make a dent in their profits. >> because everything has gone up but salaries. bread, rent. >> reporter: that's been a nearly universal theme as workers hit the picket lines around the country. >> union strong! >> reporter: the uaw strike now in its 18th day. a strike of more than 40,000 culinary workers in las vegas appears imminent. >> the ability to own a home and your kids do better than you, nobody's talking about that anymore. >> reporter: and on wednesday,
3:38 am
75,000 kaiser permanente workers in five states are poised to walk out. this map shows how many strikes are currently active. the number of workers who have been out on strike this year up nearly tenfold from 2021. in recent decades, worker pay has increased 18%. for the nation's top ceos, it's gone up a staggering 1,400%. it's not just the striking workers who are impacted by the coast-to-coast labor actions. the ripple effect of just the hollywood and united auto workers strikes is a nearly $10 billion loss to the u.s. economy. norah. >> elise preston, thank you. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.

i'm erica brown in washington. thanks for staying with us. the budget battle on capitol hill is threatening u.s. military aid to ukraine. a last-minute deal to avert a federal government shutdown does not include any future funding, and president biden says military and financial aid could dry up in the next month and a half. ramy inocencio has the view from eastern ukraine. >> reporter: the feeling from here in ukraine is that the government and its people have to wait and have to hope for more american aid. the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine says that it does recognize washington's internal political discussions, but it's actively working for a breakthrough. ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy avoided the subject of american politics and the billions of dollars in funding his country did not get. ♪ instead honoring ukraine's war dead on the newly introduced defender's day on october 1st.
3:42 am
barely more than a week ago, zelenskyy faced congress in person, said ukraine is winning but needs more aid to avoid russian defeat. president biden had requested an additional $24 billion to shore up ukraine's defenses with more artillery, fighter jets, and new abrams tanks, some of which have only recently arrived. on sunday, traffic on kyiv's maidan, independence square, cme to a standstill f for one miminute of silence. with ukraine's counteroffensive slowly progressing, more soldiers are dying each day. in washington, president biden pushed congress to get ukraine aid back on track. >> look at me. we're going to get it done. >> reporter: and ukraine's foreign ministry says that american support is both steadfast and bipartisan. in 45 days when the next u.s. budget needs to be passed, we'll find out if that's more wishful thinking. >> that was ramy inocencio in

without them, we'd still be sitting in silence. >> reporter: what's interesting here, norah, is that by lifting the civil statute of limitations for these claims, maryland is essentially exposing itself to lawsuits like this one. 37 other states have introduced legislation that would expand the window for victims to come forward and seek justice. >> such an important investigation. adriana diaz, thank you very much. simone biles pulls off another vault for the history books. that's next. feeling sluggish or weighed dowown? it couould be a sisign that your digestive system
