Summary

The Department of Justice unredacted some names in the released Epstein files after some Congress members accused the DOJ of protecting convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's alleged co-conspirators. Spencer Kuvin, an attorney representing several Epstein survivors, talks about why he thinks the DOJ has engaged in a "misguided approach" to reviewing the files. 

Then, in Haiti, a presidential council that was meant to promote stability and move the country towards elections has ended, and the country is still plagued by violence, instability and hunger. The Miami Herald's Jacqueline Charles joins us. 

And, we hear from Andrew Athias, a content creator from Philadelphia who is sharing his experience about performing as dancing grass during Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show.
