WASHINGTON (AP) — The House is expected to vote on legislation to force the Justice Department to publicly release its files on the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. It’s the culmination of a months-long effort that has overcome opposition from President Donald Trump and Republican leadership. Trump now says Republicans should vote for it. It all but ensures that the House will pass the bill with an overwhelming margin. That puts further pressure on the Senate to take up the legislation. Epstein was a well-connected financier who killed himself in a Manhattan jail while awaiting trial in 2019 on charges he sexually abused and trafficked underage girls.

Hundreds of National Guard troops deployed to Chicago and Portland, Oregon, are being sent home, and those who will remain will not be on the streets. That’s according to a defense official who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the issue. The official said Monday that all 200 California National Guard troops deployed to Oregon and another 200 Texas National Guard troops in Chicago are being sent home. The move is part of a broader change to deployments after President Donald Trump began his crackdown in various Democratic-led cities. But U.S. Northern Command said in a statement it will maintain a “constant, enduring, and long-term presence” in the cities.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge says the Justice Department engaged in a “disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps” when it secured an indictment against former FBI Director James Comey. Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick said Monday those problems include “fundamental misstatements of the law” by a prosecutor to a grand jury that indicted Comey in September, the use of potentially privileged communications in the investigation and unexplained irregularities in the transcript of the grand jury proceedings. Fitzpatrick ordered the Justice Department to provide Comey’s lawyers with all grand jury materials. The indictment charges Comey with lying to Congress in September 2020 when he suggested under questioning that he had not authorized FBI leaks of information to the news media.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The acting chief of the Federal Emergency Management Agency has left his post just six months in, officials say, marking another disruption in a year of staff departures and policy changes. The Department of Homeland Security did not comment Monday on the reason for David Richardson’s departure. Richardson, a former Marine Corps officer, had no prior emergency management experience when he took on the role. His leadership was questioned after he delayed responding to deadly floods in Texas. FEMA has faced major upheaval since President Donald Trump returned to office, with significant staff turnover and funding cuts.
