Tonight, the White House in damage control with the Epstein files making headlines again.

President Trump braces for a big vote in Congress to release all the documents.

Then money power politics.

The shutdown may be over, but its impact on our economy is just beginning as the Dow plunges nearly 800 points.

Plus Jim Comey and Tish James moved to

House Trump's handpick U.S. attorney prosecuting their cases as the 11th hour gets underway on

this Thursday night.

Good evening once again. I am Stephanie Rule, and we are now 354 days away from the midterms. The government is

officially open and the House picked up right where they left off with the Epstein files. A vote

is expected next week on a measure forcing the Department of Justice to release them, and

several Republicans are considering defying Trump and voting in favor of making the documents public. Politico reports,

quote, the fresh wave of chaos has knocked the administration on its heels. A senior White House

official insists that the latest Epstein document release is nothing more than annoying. But for the

second day in a row, the president did not take questions after a signing event, highly unusual for this president.

Adding to the pressure on him, a new AP poll shows that only 33% of Americans approve of his handling of the government that is down from 43% back in March.

Even more significant, 68% of Republicans approve of his handling of the government.

That number was 81% in March. Meanwhile, Democrat, a congressman Eric Swalwell, was referred to the

Justice Department for a potential criminal probe over alleged mortgage fraud. If you are keeping

track, he is now the fourth Democrat facing mortgage fraud allegations.

All right now, let's get smarter with the lead off panel this evening.
