Today

Good morning! Today is Monday June 26, 2017.
Here is a sampler of some of the latest investigative news from around the country and across the world.

Sketchy Firm Behind Trump Dossier Is Stalling Investigators
New York Post
Fusion GPS, the opposition-research firm of ex-journalists that produced the scurrilous Trump-Russia dossier, faces new scrutiny about who commissioned and financed its work. But it is resisting answering questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee. The committee is also asking whether the FBI improperly handled the dossier matter in its investigation of the Trump campaign and Russia.

Susan Rice Unmasking Records Are Moved to Obama Library
Judicial Watch
Records of Susan Rice's reported requests to identify "masked" U.S. persons in intelligence reports linked to the Trump team have been sent to Barack Obama's presidential library outside Chicago. Responding to a freedom of information request by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, the National Security Council said the files are closed to the public until Obama has been out of office for five years. But not if Judicial Watch can help it.

Overdoses and Fraud in the Florida Rehab Industry
NBC News
An investigation has found that many addicts from around the country who went to South Florida's heavily promoted drug treatment centers became grist in an insurance fraud mill. Crooked treatment centers partner with "body brokers" and operators of so-called "sober homes" to find patients with good health insurance that can be milked. To some centers, relapse doesn't mean failure. It means profit.

Young and Violent in the Projects of Richmond, Va.
Richmond Times-Dispatch
So far this year, 7 people have been killed and another 13 shot in Mosby, in Richmond's East End -- up from no homicides and 7 shootings last year.

Israel's Decades-Old Yemeni Baby Mystery Deepens
BBC News
In the years after the creation of Israel, hundreds of babies went missing. Their parents, mostly Jewish immigrants from Yemen, were told their children had died, but suspicions linger that they were secretly given away to families of European Jews - some who had lost children in the Holocaust - or Americans. Now documents suggest some may have been subjected to medical experimentation.

The Slow Death of the Electric Guitar
Washington Post
Popular music today emphasizes newer musical tech over the traditional guitar -- and today that even includes the electric guitar. With sales declining and no more "rock gods" like Eddie van Halen and Jimi Hendrix to inspire young people to pick up the instrument, is the Strat blasting its last power chords? An aging fan base suggests the answer is yes.

Investigative Classics: When Campus Rape Hit Front Burner, 2009
The Center for Public Integrity, NPR
The pendulum now seems to be swinging toward rights of the accused in campus sexual assault cases, but things were far different less than a decade ago. Then stories raised alarms of a rape epidemic, including the now-disputed claim that one in five college women are victimized. Here is the 2009 collaboration between the Center for Public Integrity and NPR, "Sexual Assault on Campus: A Frustrating Search for Justice."
