Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Shay Stevens.

A U.S.

Health panel has received another batch of data on Jeffrey Epstein.

As NPR's Claudia Grisalis reports, the records include a book compiled of tributes celebrating the late sex offender's 50th birthday.

An aide for the Republican-led House Oversight Committee says the panel plans to share the new records in the near future.

The Justice Department sent the first set of documents from Epstein's estate in response to a subpoena issued by Chairman James Comer.

The records include a book compiled by Geelyn Maxwell for Epstein's 50th birthday.

Maxwell's now in prison for sex trafficking.

However, Committee Democrats jumped ahead to share a note from the book with President Trump's name.

It shows the outline of a woman's body in a typewritten dialogue between Trump and Epstein.

However, Trump has denied he wrote the note.

The records turned over also include Epstein's last will and testament and a 2007 court non-prosecution agreement.

The Supreme Court says the Trump administration may continue using federal agents for immigration sweeps in Los Angeles.

And a Steve Thutterman reports, city officials say the legal battle is not over.

LA Mayor Karen Bass attacked the ruling.

This is simply un-American.

The city of Los Angeles was a party to the lawsuit.

Bass pointed out this is not a full ruling based on the merits of the case, and the battle goes on.

We will bring justice to this this issue, to our community.

Immigration advocates who filed the lawsuit admit the Supreme Court ruling is a major setback.

Rebecca Brown is an attorney with public counsel.

Essentially, the Supreme Court gave a green light to continue the raids across Southern California that are based on racial profiling.

And she advises people to document any actions that they believe are a violation of their rights.

The French government has collapsed again after Prime Minister François Bayroux lost a confidence vote in Parliament.

It's a rejection of Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron's policies.

As NPR's Eleanor Bearsley reports, Bayroux was France's third premier within a year.

The far left said this is the end of Macron's policies for the rich and his social war on the people.

And they want a completely different outlook for France, even though the budget deficit is huge.

It's 114% of the GDP.

But now France may be turning in a new direction.

President Macron will have to name a new prime minister, but he will be hard-pressed to get approval of a prime minister from his party or even the center.

He may have to pick someone on the right or the left.

Supreme Court Justice John Roberts has cleared the way for the firing of Federal Trade Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter.

The ruling overturns a lower court order to reinstate Slaughter after the court found that FTC commissioners can only be dismissed for misconduct or some other cause, just as Robert agreed with the Trump administration that it has the authority to fire commissioners.

A U.S.

metals company has signed a $500 million investment deal with the largest miner in Pakistan.

The deal comes a month after the two nations reached an agreement to attract U.S.

investment in Pakistan mineral and oil reserves.

Oil and mineral reserves have been discovered in the country's southern Sindh, eastern Punjab, and northwestern Khyber regions.

Radio host Howard Stern is back on the air at SiriusXM, and PR Sneta Ulabi has details.

In the stunt, designed for media attention, TV personality Andy Cohen pretended to take over Stern's job on Stern's show.

Later in the show, Stern revealed that nothing has actually changed, at least not yet.

I've been thinking about retiring.

Now I can't, because then they'll say I got pushed out.

Here's the truth.

SiriusXM and my team have been talking about how we go forward in the future.

That's from a clip SiriusXM released on social media.

Stern was once a huge cultural force with more than 200 million daily listeners.

But that number has dropped.

Fewer than 200,000 people now regularly tune in.

His page views are dramatically down.

Howard Stern's latest deal is currently up for renewal.
