| 0:00.0 | Today is Thursday, November 20th. We'll tell you who is facing fresh fallout from the Epstein |
| 0:05.1 | files even before they're released. Also, we're talking about American officials' new 28-point |
| 0:10.6 | plan for peace in Ukraine, just as Russia steps up the attacks. Plus, why a former Olympic |
| 0:16.1 | snowboarder is now on the FBI's most wanted list, how a big tech company is calming fears of an AI bubble, |
| 0:22.8 | and we have the highlights from the biggest night in country music. Those stories and even more |
| 0:27.8 | news to know next. Welcome, welcome to The Newsworthy. All the day's news in about 10 minutes. |
| 0:35.3 | Fast, fair, fun, and on the go. I'm Lacey Evans, |

| 1:31.1 | But many lawmakers still suspect the documents might actually expose other abusers. |
| 1:36.4 | Already, the fallout has started for some of Epstein's contacts, including former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers. |
| 1:42.7 | He announced he's now leaving his positions as an |
| 1:45.4 | open AI board member and a Harvard instructor. That came after just yesterday. The university said |
| 1:51.2 | it was going to be reviewing Epstein's relationship with Summers, as well as Epstein's ties to |
| 1:56.0 | others at the school. And remember, many Epstein survivors have said they're creating their own list of powerful |
