Chapter 2: What recent developments are there regarding the Jeffrey Epstein documents?
The Trump administration did not meet the legal deadline to make public every possible document about Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in 2019. And today, in an official social media post, the Justice Department says it received over a million more documents from the Southern District of New York to be reviewed and released to the public.
NPR political correspondent Sarah McCammon reports.
Well, DOJ has been under a lot of pressure, at least from some members of both parties, to disclose more information. They had a deadline to release all of their files on Friday, and they only released an initial batch, which further angered the White House's critics. More documents have been trickling out since then, and there's still a lot to sort through.
But the contents of the files appear to be, if nothing else, embarrassing for the president and potentially a lot of other people.
And here's Sarah McCalmon reporting. President Volodymyr Zelensky says he's open to pulling back troops from areas of eastern Ukraine still under Kyiv control as part of a potential peace deal. NPR's Joannika Kicis reports.
Zelensky revealed the details of the latest peace plan to reporters in Kyiv during a briefing. He said Ukraine was against withdrawing troops from the eastern Ukrainian area known as Donbass, but that U.S. negotiators are pushing for demilitarization so it can become a free economic zone. Zelensky says he might agree if Russia also pulls back its troops in the region.
The latest peace plan includes NATO-style security guarantees for Ukraine and stationing international forces on the front line. Zelensky said the U.S. and Ukraine have not agreed on who should control Ukraine's Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, which is occupied by Russian forces. Joanna Kekises, NPR News, Kyiv.
On one of the busiest travel weeks of the year, people who use wheelchairs tell NPR they expect to find repeated problems when they check into hotels. NPR's Joseph Shapiro reports.
It's been 35 years since the Americans with Disabilities Act became law and required hotels to be made accessible for people with disabilities. But 200 wheelchair users responding to an NPR survey say they run into repeated problems. Most common is that they reserve an accessible room, either online or with a phone call. When they show up, the room isn't available.
