Chapter 2: What recent actions has Israel taken regarding Iran?
Israel's defense minister says it has launched a preemptive strike against Iran in order to, quote, remove threats against Israel. No targets were mentioned, but he says Israel has declared a special state of emergency and is preparing for a likely retaliatory attack from Iran.
Former President Bill Clinton released a statement on social media Friday night discussing the six-hour deposition he gave to the House Oversight Committee. The committee is investigating convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In the video, Clinton said once again that he saw nothing and did nothing wrong, and he criticized the committee for calling his wife to testify, even though she says she never knew Epstein. The Clintons are not accused of any wrongdoing, and Clinton says he hopes his testimony encourages others to also do so.
I love my country, including our Constitution. And America was built on the idea that no person is above the law, even presidents, especially presidents, and that we should all live under the same set of rules.
France's most prominent far-left leader sparked new accusations of anti-Semitism after mocking the pronunciation of the name Epstein during a political rally. As NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports, his bizarre outburst came as campaigning intensifies ahead of March municipal elections in France.
The Epstein affair. Oh, pardon me, I meant to say Epstein, said Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Epstein sounds more Russian, no? Should we say Einstein now? Condemnation and outrage from across the political spectrum was immediate.
Insinuating that the pronunciation of Jeffrey Epstein's name is being manipulated is a conspiracy theory with real anti-Semitic overtones, said the president of one of France's major Jewish groups. In recent years, Mélenchon's rhetoric has alienated the mainstream left, but this time he seems to have gone too far.

Chapter 3: What did Bill Clinton say about his deposition related to Jeffrey Epstein?
In a post on his Truth Social platform, the president said he was directing all federal agencies to immediately cease using Anthropic's AI tools. He also said agencies, including the Pentagon, would have six months to phase out Anthropic's products. Anthropic and the Defense Department have been at loggerheads over how the military can use its AI model, CLAUD,
under a contract worth up to $200 million. Anthropic says Claude cannot be used for domestic surveillance or to power autonomous weapons. The Pentagon says AI companies must allow all lawful uses of their technology. Anthropic's CEO had said the company would not back down despite the government's threats. Shannon Bond, NPR News.

The father of the suspected shooter at a Georgia high school took the stand in his own defense Friday. Colin Gray is charged with second-degree murder, among other charges, for giving his son a gun as a present. GPB's Chase McGee has more from the Northeast Georgia courtroom.
Colin Gray refuted allegations that he was a negligent or absent father, instead recounting his family's troubled history with multiple moves and workplace injuries. He spoke of his wife's drug addiction and an episode where she threatened to kill him and their son Colt. He described a trusting relationship with Colt, who was charged with the killings of two students and two teachers.
I don't know if anybody could ever see that kind of evil. It was like the Colt I knew, the relationship I had. There's this whole other side of Colt I didn't know existed.
Prosecutors asked Gray about several instances where his son had severe anger or behavioral issues going back as far as first grade. For NPR News, I'm Chase McGee in Winder.
