Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.
Chapter 2: What missing documents related to President Trump were found in the Epstein Files?
An NPR investigation finds dozens of pages of documents that mention President Trump are missing from the Epstein Files database. NPR's Stephen Fowler reports those pages relate to accusations Trump sexually abused a minor more than four decades ago.
Chapter 3: What accusations are being made against Trump regarding a minor?
Internal documents from the FBI and Justice Department released in the files show investigators spoke to a woman four times who said she was abused by Trump in the mid-80s when she was 13. But only her first interview is in the files with no mention of Trump.
Chapter 4: What recent tariffs has President Trump imposed and why?
The Justice Department declined to answer NPR's questions on the record about these specific files, what's in them, and why they're not published. A White House spokeswoman said Trump has been, quote, totally exonerated, and he, quote, has done more for Epstein's victims than anyone before him. Stephen Fowler, NPR News, Atlanta.
President Trump will deliver his State of the Union speech tonight.
Chapter 5: How is President Trump addressing the conflict in Ukraine in his upcoming speech?
Overnight, he imposed temporary global tariffs of 10 percent on goods imported into the U.S. This comes after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned some of Trump's tariffs last week.
Chapter 6: What leadership changes are happening at the CDC?
Trump has also vowed to boost the 10 percent tariff rate to 15 percent. The president may also discuss the war in Ukraine in his address tonight. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he hopes Trump will stay on his country's side. In an interview with CNN, Zelensky says his country is waiting for the U.S.,
to formally agree to security guarantees as part of a U.S.-backed ceasefire plan with Russia.
We have mostly everything, I think everything, in the paper.
Chapter 7: How are recent weather events impacting the Northeast?
But it's not still signed. It's not signed by the United States. Why? I think that the United States wants to sign security guarantees at the very same moment when the 20 points plan will be accepted by all of us.
Today is also the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. There's more upheaval in leadership at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. NPR's Selina Simmons-Duffin reports Dr. Ralph Abraham left his job as principal deputy director after two months.
Dr. Ralph Abraham came to the CDC in December after serving as Louisiana's Surgeon General. In that role, he had banned vaccine promotion and events by the state health department. During his brief tenure as second in command at CDC, he told reporters on a press call that the U.S. potentially losing its measles elimination status would be, quote, not really, unquote, significant.
CDC has only had a permanent director for one month of the last year. The person who had been acting director at CDC, Jim O'Neill, also just left the agency earlier this month. The director of the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, is taking over as acting director of the CDC while still leading NIH. Selina Simmons-Duffin, NPR News, Washington.
And you're listening to NPR. Much of the Northeast is still digging out from this week's ferocious blizzard. States from Delaware to Massachusetts got more than two feet of snow in some areas. Parts of Rhode Island got more than three feet. The National Weather Service says the blizzard also featured wind gusts that reached hurricane strength.
There are more than a quarter million customers in eastern Massachusetts who've lost power. The huge wildfire burning in northern Oklahoma and southern Kansas is only about 65 percent contained. Oklahoma officials say the Range Road fire has scorched nearly 450 square miles. A horse's whinny is a far more complex sound than you might expect. Reporter Ari Daniel explains.
Horse whinnies are made up of two tones, one low and one high. A team of researchers wanted to know more, since it's rare for mammals to produce two simultaneous frequencies like this. So they videoed the vocal tract of whinnying stallions. They CT scanned half a dozen horse larynxes.
And they audio recorded the whinnies of several horses with a rare disease that tends to paralyze one of the vocal folds. The result?
We finally know how horses produce these two tones at the same time.
