Live from NPR News, I'm Giles Snyder. For the first time, members of Congress were allowed on Monday to review unredacted versions of the Justice Department's files related to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. California Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna.
I will say that the staff was very professional in allowing us to do the searches. Our bigger concern is that there's still a lot that's redacted. Even in what we're seeing, we're seeing redacted versions. I thought we were supposed to see the unredacted versions.
Speaking to reporters alongside Kentucky Republican Congressman Thomas Massey, the two were the lead sponsors of the bill that forced the public release of the files. Massey said he found the names of six men likely incriminated by their inclusion in the files and called on the Justice Department to hold them to account. The two reviewed the documents for several hours on the same day that Glenn Maxwell avoided answering questions from the House Oversight Committee. During a video call to the federal prison camp in Texas, where she is serving a 20-year sentence, Maxwell invoked her Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate herself. The Trump administration is urging Americans to get vaccinated against measles as outbreaks spread across the states.
NPR's Maria Godoy reports on Dr. Mehmet Oz's remarks.
Oz's comments came Sunday during an interview on CNN's State of the Union. When asked what his message about the measles vaccine is, Oz replied, Take the vaccine, please.
We have a solution for our problem. Not all illnesses are equally dangerous and not all people are equally susceptible to those illnesses. But measles is one you should get your vaccine.
Oz is the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. He denied that the Trump administration's actions have undermined confidence in vaccines, and he argued that his boss, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has been supportive of the measles vaccine. Kennedy has a long history of being skeptical of the safety and efficacy of vaccines. Maria Godoy, NPR News.
A Palestinian authority, which governs much of the West Bank, used to pay the families of Palestinians killed or injured by Israeli soldiers who were imprisoned in Israel. But now as NPR's Emily Fang reports, it's fully stopped the payment system.
Israel has long criticized this payment system, arguing it incentivizes violence against Israel. And under pressure to reform, the Palestinian Authority, or the PA, stopped the payments. And while countries like the U.S. and Israel support this, the move has caused widespread outrage among Palestinians. Jamal al-Khafre's son was held in an Israeli prison for 23 months without charges. He once would have gotten money from the PA, but they told him this time to apply for welfare instead. Al-Khafri said he refused to, calling it an insult to his dignity, he says. Emily Fang, NPR News.
President Trump has opened a new front in his dispute with Canada over trade issues. He's threatening to bar a new bridge from opening. In a social media post Monday evening, Trump demanded compensation and respect from Canada. Construction on the Gordie Howe Bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario is nearing completion and was funded by Canada. The Colorado River's water supply forecast is the worst in 35 years. Rocky Mountains lacking the snow that fills the nation's reservoirs come springtime. From member station KJZZ, Alex Hager has more.
Just about every metric we use to figure out how much water will be in the Colorado River says the same thing. It's shaping up to be a really dry year. Every single part of the watershed has below average snow for this time of year. Most areas are about half of normal or less. Vinita Kartha with the Central Arizona Project called some of those numbers abysmal.
December was dry, November was dry, October was dry, January was dry, and this trend seems to be continuing.
The snow shortage could cause problems at Lake Powell, the nation's second largest reservoir.
