| 0:00.0 | Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton. A federal judge has reopened President Trump's |
| 0:06.3 | $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS for releasing his tax returns. Trump and the agency |
| 0:11.8 | settled the case last week in an agreement that established a nearly $1.8 billion fund for his allies |
| 0:17.6 | who say they were victims of political prosecutions and giving Trump and his |
| 0:22.3 | family immunity from tax audits. The judge says she wants to investigate what she called grievous |
| 0:27.8 | allegations that the deal was, quote, premised on deception. President Trump held a White House |
| 0:33.4 | Situation Room meeting today as he weighs moving forward with a deal to extend the Iran |
| 0:37.5 | ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran says the agreement has not been finalized. |

| 1:21.1 | climate change. NPR's Michael Copley reports publicly traded firms also would have had to disclose |
| 1:26.2 | how they plan on meeting targets |
| 1:28.2 | they've set to cut climate pollution. A lot of businesses have been voluntarily disclosing some |
| 1:33.0 | climate information to investors. Under former President Biden, financial regulators issued rules |
| 1:37.8 | to ensure the information investors get is consistent and comparable. But the Securities and Exchange |
| 1:43.2 | Commission now says it doesn't have the legal authority to carry out those rules. |
| 1:47.4 | It also says the rules would have imposed undue costs on companies and their shareholders. |
