| 0:00.0 | Hey there from the KUOW Newsroom. This is Seattle Now. I'm Patricia Murphy. Here are today's |
| 0:09.5 | top stories. It's Thursday, July 11th. Washington State's investigation into sex abuse allegations |
| 0:17.9 | at the Seattle Catholic Archdiocese is getting a boost from survivors. |
| 0:22.4 | Today, they dropped off sealed boxes of documents at the Attorney General's office in Seattle |
| 0:26.7 | to help with the state's investigation. Gustavo Segreiro reports. |
| 0:31.1 | These documents are connected to a slew of allegations against people in the archdiocese, |
| 0:35.4 | including some who formerly worked schools, churches, |
| 0:38.1 | and religious orders. Advocates say these are the exact kind of documents the AG's office is asking for |
| 0:43.6 | from Catholic administrators around the state. They dropped off 75,000 pages of files that they say they got |

| 1:32.3 | But on Thursday, the 3rd District Democrats seemed to change course. She told Portland's KGW that, quote, |
| 1:39.5 | the crisis of confidence in the president's leadership needs to come to an end, and that Biden should, quote, |
| 1:45.5 | do what he knows is right for the country and put the national interest first. |
| 1:50.2 | Glucent-Perez stopped short of calling on the president to end his campaign, but she has |
| 1:55.0 | already said publicly earlier this month that she thinks Biden will lose a November matchup with |
| 2:00.2 | former President Donald Trump. |
