Investigators from the Drug Enforcement Administration's Denver office say they had a powerful case against the nation's largest drug company.

The story is part of a joint reporting effort by the Washington Post and "60 Minutes."
An earlier version of the aired interview noted that heroin and fentanyl use was dropping in Colorado. Data shows that overdose deaths from those drugs are rising.
