And finally, a few other stories we're following.

The Justice Department released FBI documents late yesterday describing several interviews with a woman who made an uncorroborated accusation against President Trump as part of their release of Epstein files.

The FBI had already released documents describing the existence of the memos, but they said these pages had previously been withheld.

The notes recounted 2019 FBI interviews with the woman who said she had been sexually assaulted by Epstein and Trump.

The accusations date back to the 1980s, when she was a teenager.

While the FBI interviewed her four times, the Justice Department's previous release included a summary of only one of the interviews, which was related to an accusation against Epstein.

On Thursday, the department said those files had been incorrectly coded as duplicative and therefore were inadvertently not published, along with other investigative documents related to Epstein.

In a statement on Thursday, the White House press secretary, Caroline Levitt, described the claims from the FBI interviews as, quote, completely baseless accusations backed by zero credible evidence.

The Winter Paralympics in Milan Cortina are underway, where Team USA will be looking to secure medals in games like sled hockey and para-Nordic skiing.

But much like the Winter Games that just wrapped up, a curling scandal has entered the conversation.

Two stones that were set to be used in the wheelchair curling event that started Wednesday have been stolen.

Olympic officials are investigating the theft, and two backup stones are now in play.
