28 Days – Correspondent Scott Pelley reports from Washington, D.C., on whether President Trump's dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) without Congress' approval is legal. Pelley speaks with a constitutional law professor and with a former USAID administrator for President George W. Bush, who raise questions about the president's legal authority and express concern about the effectiveness and role of the Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE. Maria Gavrilovic and Alex Ortiz are the producers. Policing The Internet – In the United States, most of what anyone says, sends, or streams online, even if it's hate-filled or toxic, is protected by the First Amendment as free speech. However, as correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi reports, Germany is trying to bring order to the unruly World Wide Web by policing it in a way most Americans could never imagine. Michael Karzis is the producer. Timothée Chalamet – When Timothée Chalamet was offered the chance to play Bob Dylan in a film based on the legendary musician, many people told him not to take it. Chalamet didn't know much about playing the guitar, harmonica, or Dylan himself. 60 MINUTES spends a couple of days with the 29-year-old actor to find out how he prepared for over five years to play one of the most enigmatic and revered musicians of our time for his film A Complete Unknown, which earned him his second Oscar nomination for best actor. Correspondent Anderson Cooper visits Chalamet's childhood home and Dylan's old haunts in New York City and discovers some of the parallels between the two artists. Nichole Marks is the producer.
