Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton. President Trump heads to Mount

Pocono, Pennsylvania today for an event about the economy. As NPR's Tamara Keith reports, this

comes as Trump faces polls showing voters blaming him for high prices. Trump has spent very little time

during his second term traveling around the country does sell voters on his policies.

Now with his approval ratings at a low point and administration officials asking voters for

patience, Trump heads to a resort in his swing district in Pennsylvania to talk about the economy.

He's called affordability a Democratic con job and a hoax, but yesterday at the White House dialed it back a little.

We brought prices way down from what it was. We inherited high prices.

The most recent numbers show the inflation rate in September was the same as it was during

former President Biden's last month in office.

NPR's Ryan Lucas has the latest.

The Justice Department in November

asked a federal judge in New York to release the investigative materials from Glenn Maxwell's

sex trafficking case after Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Now, U.S. District

Court Judge Paul Engelmayer has granted that request and authorized the department to publicly

release the grand jury

materials as well as the investigative records while redacting personally identifiable or other

victim-related information. A similar request to make public investigative records from Epstein's

prosecution in New York is still pending before a different federal judge. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking and other offenses.
