After months of pushing back against federal judges and the courts, the president has requested the release of Epstein-related grand jury testimony to be “subject to Court approval.”

WASHINGTON, July 17 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's administration will ask a court to allow the release of grand jury testimony in the case of deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, after some of his supporters reacted in fury to a report concluding there was no evidence to support long-running theories about his case.

Plus, the Republican-led House passed a $9 billion package that includes spending cuts to NPR and PBS, as well as foreign aid. Donald Trump is expected to sign the measure.
