U.S.

officials say the Coast Guard is on the trail of another tanker ship involved in transporting oil from Venezuela, which comes after the U.S.

seized a second ship over the weekend as part of its campaign to block vessels moving the country's crude.

The ship under pursuit has been identified by two officials as the Bella 1, which was sanctioned last year by the U.S.

Its registered owner didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

On Saturday, the Coast Guard boarded a ship that had been docked in Venezuela.

The Centuries was flying a Panamanian flag, and according to shipping data provider Kepler, it wasn't on a U.S., EU, U.K., or United Nations sanctions list.

In a social media post, White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said the ship was, quote, a falsely flagged vessel operating as part of the Venezuelan shadow fleet.

Its registered owner also didn't immediately respond to calls seeking comment.

Back in the U.S., a top Justice Department official said the agency has temporarily removed some of the Jeffrey Epstein files that were released on Friday to address complaints from victims about the agency's failure to redact their images or details.

More than a dozen photos were removed on Saturday from the latest trove, which was criticized by lawmakers for not including all of the DOJ's materials and because some of the documents were heavily redacted.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch told NBC's Meet the Press that the agency was not redacting the names of famous people associated with the late sex offender.

Blanch, a former personal lawyer to President Trump, said the agency would re-release the images it pulled, along with additional material in coming weeks, to comply with a mandate from Congress.

Vice President J.D.

Vance speaking in Phoenix yesterday, closing out the first major event held by Turning Point USA since the death of founder Charlie Kirk.

Vance's remarks came just days after Charlie's widow Erica Kirk endorsed his potential 2028 presidential run.

Vance hasn't officially declared his intent to run for president, but behind the scenes, Turning Point is already setting up infrastructure to boost a potential bid.

That includes planning to put representatives in every county in Iowa ahead of the presidential primary to help secure the important early state.

CBS News is defending a decision to pull a planned 60-minute segment over the weekend, looking at the El Salvador maximum security prison where the Trump administration sent hundreds of Venezuelan migrants.

In an email to colleagues seen by the journal, CBS correspondent Sharon Alfonsi said that the decision was, in her view, a political one rather than an editorial call.
