Michelle Martin

Really?

Wow.

I find that hard to believe.

U.S.

and Iranian officials are meeting today.

President Trump is still considering military strikes.

Javi Martinez, that is Michelle Martin, and this is Up First from NPR News.

Harvard professor and former U.S.

Treasury Secretary Larry Summers is resigning from the university.

It's the latest consequence triggered by the release of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

That's after President Trump claimed, without providing evidence in his State of the Union address on Tuesday, that Iran is building missiles that will soon be able to reach the United States.

This comes after more was revealed about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Harvard is continuing to investigate Summers and others for their ties to the convicted sex offender.

The government says they were, quote, terrorists trying to infiltrate the island.

I'm Michelle Martin.

And I'm Amy Martinez.
