How much did Penn State officials know about the Sandusky scandal? Report on internal dealings due today
(CNN) - The long-awaited findings of an internal review into how Penn State University handled allegations of child sex abuse by a former assistant football coach are scheduled to be released Thursday morning.
Louis Freeh, the former FBI director and federal judge, spearheaded the university-funded probe into a scandal that has shaken Pennsylvania residents and gripped the nation, leading to the dismissal of legendary head coach Joe Paterno, as well as the ouster of the university's longtime president Graham Spanier and athletic director Tim Curley.
Speculation over the report's contents and its possible recommendations have raised questions about what Penn State officials and others may have known, if anything, about the behavior of Jerry Sandusky, who was convicted in June of sexually abusing young boys over a 15-year period.
This morning on "Early Start," Susan Candiotti previews the Freeh report.

Egyptian parliament meets amid power struggle – Ivan Watson reports
Cairo (CNN) - The Egyptian parliament convened for less than an hour Tuesday, in a gesture of defiance against the country's military rulers, who dissolved the legislature last month.
The session was the first since the nation's highest court said parliamentary elections were unconstitutional, prompting the military to disband the body.
The lawmakers met after President Mohamed Morsy, who took office June 30, opted to override the edict of the military, which has run the country since the 2011 revolution that ousted longtime leader Hosni Mubarak.
This morning on "Early Start," Ivan Watson reports on the parliament meeting.
