Chapter 1: What are the latest developments in U.S.-Iranian nuclear talks?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. The third round of U.S.-Iranian talks are underway in Geneva over its nuclear program. This as the Trump administration expands its pressure on Tehran with new sanctions aimed at the country's missile, drone, and oil networks, hoping to pressure Iran into a deal. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Iran poses a very grave threat to the United States and has for a very long time. They are in possession. First and foremost, after their nuclear program was obliterated, they were told not to try to restart it. And here they are. You can see them always trying to rebuild elements of it.
Meanwhile, after the Iran talks are over, a Ukrainian delegation will meet with U.S.

envoys in Geneva in the run-up to another round of trilateral talks with Russia. Cuba says a boat registered in Florida was carrying 10 people with, quote, terrorist intent. And Pierzetta Peralta reports a gunfight ended with four people dead.
Cuba's Interior Ministry says the boat entered into Cuban waters and when border troops approached, the occupants opened fire. Cuban troops returned fire, killing four people and injuring six. The Cuban government says the men on board were Cubans living in Florida planning terrorist attacks on the island. Kiki Naranjo is a friend of one of the survivors and says none of the men were terrorists.
They are all men who want Cuba to be free, he says, but they grew tired of promises by politicians. Naranjo and his friend run a group that he says wanted to sabotage the government from the inside. The U.S. says it will investigate and react appropriately. Eder Peralta, NPR News, Mexico City.
The Department of Justice says it's reviewing documents of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after an NPR investigation revealed some Epstein files are missing from a public database. The files relate to allegations of sexual abuse of a minor against President Trump.
And as NPR's Stephen Fowler reports, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee is asking the Department of Justice for answers.
After an NPR investigation revealed dozens of pages of interviews and notes weren't published in the Epstein files, House Oversight Democrats said they would investigate. In a letter first shared with NPR, Ranking Member Robert Garcia is asking Attorney General Pam Bondi to explain what happened.
The missing documents relate to a woman who said she was sexually abused by both Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump when she was a minor in the early 1980s. The Justice Department has said any files not made public are because they're duplicates, privileged, or part of an active investigation. So Garcia wants the AG to answer if there's an active investigation into Trump. Stephen Fowler, NPR News.
And former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will appear before a House Oversight Committee behind closed doors in New York today, part of a congressional investigation into Epstein. Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to testify tomorrow. Neither Clinton has been accused of wrongdoing. Both deny having any knowledge of Epstein's crimes. This is NPR News. Former U.S.
