Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Korva Coleman.
Chapter 2: What missing documents are linked to President Trump 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.
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.
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.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of Trump's State of the Union address?
President Trump gives his State of the Union address tonight. He's expected to cover a lot of topics, and that may include his new global tariffs that took effect overnight. He imposed the 10 percent tariffs after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned many of his other levies last week.
Chapter 4: How is Netflix responding to Trump's demands regarding corporate governance?
NPR's Franco Ordonez says Trump will deliver tonight's speech while the justices look on.
Those justices are going to be in the room with Trump. And as always the case with this president, the optics are going to be a big part of the evening.
Chapter 5: What updates are there on Iran's nuclear program talks?
So when Trump sees those justices, you know, walking in in their black robes, you know, is he going to be able to resist attacking them personally as he did so aggressively last week?
Democrats will give responses to the president's address. Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger will deliver the response in English. California Senator Alex Padilla will deliver the response in Spanish. Netflix chief Ted Sarandos is dismissing a warning from President Trump, even as the company will need government approval for its plans.
Chapter 6: What are the latest developments in the Russia-Ukraine war?
As NPR's David Folkenflik reports, the president said Netflix should fire a certain corporate director or, quote, pay the consequences.
Netflix corporate board member Susan Rice, a former Obama administration official, said that companies that, quote, bend the knee to Trump should expect to be held accountable. Trump called for Netflix to fire Rice, but didn't say what those consequences might be.
Chapter 7: How are migrant children being affected by U.S. immigration policies?
Netflix will still need approval from regulators to buy streamer HBO Max, Warner Brothers Studios and DC Comics from Warner Brothers Discovery. Sarandos told the BBC that the decision will be made on business grounds.
Netflix is also trying to fight off a competing offer for all of Warner from rival Paramount, whose controlling owners, David Ellison and his father, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, have close ties with the president. David Folkenflik, NPR News.
The United States is preparing for more talks on Iran's nuclear program. Iran's vice foreign minister tells NPR those will happen in Geneva and that his country is ready to reach agreement as soon as possible. He also told NPR Iran will do whatever is necessary to make it happen. It's not clear if President Trump will strike Iran. This is NPR.
Today is the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The war is dragged on at great cost to both sides. There are hundreds of thousands of casualties of Russian and Ukrainian combatants and civilians. Russia continues to demand that Ukraine surrender territory that Russia does not control in order to stop the war. Hundreds of migrant children living in the U.S.
are being separated from their families and detained without due process. That's according to a class action lawsuit filed on their behalf against the Department of Health and Human Services. Mark Bettencourt reports. The agency has custody of the children.
The minors have been living in the U.S. for months or even years. They were initially detained at the U.S.-Mexico border and then released to live with family or other sponsors. As the Trump administration ramped up immigration enforcement, the kids were arrested again. That's according to the lawsuit filed by the National Center for Youth Law.
Michonne Rowe, one of the attorneys in the case, says the government is requiring families to apply again to get their children out of detention. She says that's illegal.
They're just saying everyone has to reapply. And by the way, we've changed the application such that you can't successfully apply if you're not a citizen, which most of the sponsors are not.
The Department of Health and Human Services says it does not comment on ongoing litigation. For NPR News, I'm Mark Betancourt.
