| 0:00.0 | Today is Wednesday, July 23rd. We'll tell you how the Justice Department is hoping to learn more |
| 0:05.1 | information about the Jeffrey Epstein case and why the House is leaving the capital early in the face of |
| 0:10.9 | scrutiny over the Epstein files. Also, new trade announcements, including a deal with one of America's |
| 0:16.6 | biggest economic partners. Plus, what's behind a top FEMA officials' decision to leave the agency, |
| 0:22.9 | how the music world is paying tribute to a legendary rock star, and which companies are seen a big |

| 1:37.4 | Now, it seems it's not case closed after all. |
| 1:40.5 | The DOJ said yesterday it wants to interview Epstein's long-time associate Galane Maxwell, |
| 1:46.2 | who's now in prison for sex trafficking. To that, her lawyer wrote on X, quote, |
