Welcome to the NewsHour. President Trump is expected to sign a bill requiring the Justice Department to release its files on the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Senate forwarded the measure to the White House today only days after Mr. Trump withdrew his opposition.

Attorney General Pam Bondi today sidestepped questions about releasing the documents saying

only that she would follow the law.

We will continue to follow the law with maximum transparency while protecting victims.

In more fallout related to the Epstein case, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers resigned

from the Board of Directors at OpenAI,

days after Congress released documents that showed Summers shared a close relationship with Epstein.

The DOJ meantime is facing more scrutiny over the handling of its case against former FBI director

James Comey. I spoke earlier about both developments with Josh Garstein, senior legal

So to refresh memories, James Comey is accused of lying during a 2020 congressional hearing about whether

he authorized leaks to the press. He is pleaded not guilty. But today, Lindsay Halligan,

President Trump's handpicked U.S. attorney, admitted the full grand jury didn't see the final

indictment handed up against James Comey. Tell us more about that. Right. Well, this was something of a

surprise turn during the hearing. We expected it to focus primarily on whether this was a vindictive selective prosecution case against Comey brought at President Trump's insistence.

But at a certain point, it turned sharply.

And the judge became very focused on this issue of whether the final indictment of Comey, which was a two-count indictment instead of the three counts that Halligan originally proposed, ever went before the full grand jury.

It sounds like it was sort of modified after the grand jury voted on the first indictment and then prepared in Halligan's office and taken directly to the judge by the

foreperson of the grand jury without that paper ever traveling into the grand jury room.

Has something like that ever happened before?

There have sometimes been cases where prosecutors modify an indictment or retype an indictment
