This Sunday, March 9, 2025, from 7:00 to 8:00 PM ET/PT, 60 Minutes delivers a compelling hour of investigative journalism with three in-depth reports that explore crucial topics impacting the nation and beyond.

Firing the Watchdogs

In the first segment, correspondent Scott Pelley investigates the removal of independent watchdogs tasked with protecting federal workers and whistleblowers. Hampton Dellinger, the chief of the agency that defends federal employees, was one of the first to be fired by President Trump, followed by 18 other inspectors general and the head of the board that protects federal workers. 60 Minutes takes a closer look at why these watchdogs are being dismantled and what it means for accountability in government. Pelley speaks with Dellinger and other key figures to shed light on this disturbing trend. This segment is produced by Maria Gavrilovic.

The Settlement

Next, 60 Minutes covers Purdue Pharma’s historic settlement of up to $7.4 billion, five years after the company declared bankruptcy. This deal, which involves the wealthy Sackler family, aims to provide compensation to victims of the opioid crisis, but how will it impact the individuals and families who suffered due to Purdue’s actions? Correspondent Cecilia Vega investigates the details of this proposed settlement and what it means for those harmed by the opioid epidemic. The segment is produced by Natalie Jimenez Peel.

 

A Method to His Madness

In the final segment, 60 Minutes provides an exclusive inside look at one of college basketball’s most celebrated coaches—Dan Hurley of the University of Connecticut men’s team. With the NCAA tournament, known as March Madness, kicking off this month, Hurley is working to lead his team to a historic three-peat. Correspondent Jon Wertheim explores the coach’s strategies, his approach to managing a changing roster, and his pre-season rituals. This segment is produced by Draggan Mihailovich.
