Good evening. I'm John Yang. Jeff Bennett and Omna of Oz are away. On the news hour tonight,

President Trump sues the Wall Street Journal amid questions about his past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

The former head of the State Department's effort to combat human trafficking discusses the effects of cuts to that office.

And we examine what life now looks like for some of the only refugees

to arrive to the United States since President Trump took office.

You should put everything out there and let the people decide it.
