| 0:00.0 | Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dave Mattingley. Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to testify today to members of the House Oversight Committee as part of the panel's investigation of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Hillary Clinton spent hours before the committee yesterday testifying about what she knew. |
| 0:22.6 | Speaking to reporters afterwards, the former first lady, senator, and secretary of state |
| 0:27.5 | said she never met Epstein and never had any connection or communication with him. |
| 0:32.6 | The Clintons are giving their depositions in Chappaqua, New York, where they live. |
| 0:37.4 | In Colorado, the mayor of Denver has signed an executive order that restricts the operations |
| 0:42.5 | of U.S. immigration and customs enforcement in the city. |
| 0:46.2 | As Kyle Harris with Colorado Public Radio reports, that order allows local police to arrest |
| 0:52.2 | ICE agents in certain circumstances. |
| 0:55.4 | The order bars ICE officers from staging immigration enforcement actions on city-owned property. |
| 1:00.2 | It also bars agents from places like libraries and schools. |
| 1:03.9 | And Mayor Mike Johnston declared law enforcement could offer medical aid to people injured by ice. |
| 1:08.8 | If a federal agent restricted that aid, local police could |

| 1:22.0 | Police said they will prioritize de-escalation in interacting with federal law enforcement. |
| 1:26.9 | The executive order comes as cities around the country are preparing for possible surges by federal |
| 1:31.7 | immigration officers. |
| 1:33.6 | For NPR News, I'm Kyle Harris in Denver. |
| 1:36.6 | The body of the late civil rights leader of the Reverend Jesse Jackson is lying in repose |
| 1:41.4 | at Rainbow Push Coalition headquarters in Chicago. Jackson died earlier this |
| 1:46.5 | month at the age of 84. Summer Van Benton with member station WB-B-E-Z says mourners are paying their respects. |
| 1:54.8 | Jackson founded the Rainbow Push Coalition here in Chicago in 1996. Thousands have come through to pay their respects to the late civil rights leader. |
