00:00Lashing out, President Trump criticizes quote, weak Republicans, deciding with Democrats on the push to release the Jeffrey Epstein files,
00:08and now he's ordering the Justice Department to investigate several high-profile figures over their alleged tie in your head.
00:15Plus, from breakout anthems to nostalgic throwbacks, the Georgia election interference case against President Trump and several of his allies
00:21will carry on for now with a new prosecutor to replace Fonny Willis.
00:30The Epstein fallout is right now getting messier by the hours.
00:35President Trump is taking aim at Republicans again for siding with Democrats ahead of next week's House vote on the
00:41Epstein files.
00:42The president posting to a lot of Republicans.
00:45House GOP leaders are anticipating several members of their caucus to defy the president and vote to release the files,
00:51but the president didn't stop there.
00:52He's also calling on Attorney General Pam Bondi to launch new Epstein-related investigations.
00:58We have CNN Senior Justice Correspondent Evan Perez with us.
01:01Evan, the president, with some more orders, it appears, or some strong suggestions for Pam Bondi.
01:08Yeah, look, he says he's going to ask the Justice Department to do this investigation.
01:14They've been having a hard time getting out from under it.
01:17I just want to say hi to my mom and dad and my brothers and sister.
01:21I love you all. Thank you for supporting me and everything. I love you guys.
01:24Okay, there we go.
01:25The Justice Department, before this summer, before they said nothing to shoot here, there were no more files coming out.
01:31They did look at these files.
01:33He's saying also that the effort to release these files is a waste of time because DOJ has already published
01:4050,000 pages.
01:42It hasn't published everything, though. What hasn't DOJ published?
01:46There's a lot of documents that are in possession of the Justice Department and the FBI.
01:49They've already redacted a lot of them, but a lot of them...
01:53This is actually what people who have all these questions want to see.
01:57They do agree.
01:58And also to remind you that, you know, it is...
02:01On something that the deputy agent, Todd Lynch, who, of course, is formerly the president's personal attorney,
02:06something he said that the Epstein estate is pushing back on.
02:09Right. He tweeted yesterday on Twitter, responding to George Conway,
02:14that he hadn't seen some of the documents that the Democrats had released yesterday,
02:18and he accused the estate, the Epstein estate, of hiding documents he could have done.
02:24All right, Evan Perez, thank you very much.
02:26Still to come, President Trumpening now.
02:27Stocks are mixed on Wall Street following its worst trading day
02:31in more than a month.
02:32Investors are bracing for a deluge of delayed economic data
02:36after the government shut down, and that's just one in several factors
02:39leading to growing uncertainty over whether the Federal Reserve
02:42will cut interest rates next month.
02:45In the meantime, the Trump administration announcing a trade deal framework
02:49and the easing of tariffs on another country today
02:51as it faces backlash from Americans still struggling with high prices.
02:55CNN's Matt Egan is with us now.
02:58Matt, tell us what we're looking at.
03:01A new prosecutor is taking over the Georgia election interference case
03:06against President Russell, going to take a look at what that means
03:09for the president and his 18 co-defendants.
03:12Then later, a father's unexplained debt is traced back to tick bites
03:16from a camping trip, how the tiny bugs gave him a deadly allergy.
03:22The Trump administration's immigration crackdown could be just hours away
03:26from targeting a new Democratic-led city.
03:29Sources, now some of the other headlines we're watching this hour.
03:32California is revoking 17,000 commercial drivers' lives in New Jersey
03:36as the first known person to die from a food allergy triggered by tick bites.
03:41The 47-year-old passed away last summer, and his on-topsy results at the time were inconclusive.
03:46But other doctors traced the cause back to a family camping trip weeks before he died.
03:52CNN health reporter Jacqueline Howard tested it.
03:55And finally...
03:56Jacqueline Howard, thank you so much.
03:58Jessica?
03:59President Trump goes on offense.
04:00He's calling Republicans who support the release of the Jeffrey Epstein file's week,
04:05and he's ordering high-profile investigations into other people's alleged ties to Epstein.
04:10Plus, a peaceful protest outside a controversial ICE facility in Chicago turns chaotic.
04:16Several people arrested after reportedly pushing past barriers in front of the building.
04:20A channel that takes you around the globe.
04:21And sources say President Trump's...
04:22People living in one suburban Chicago neighborhood are organizing patrols and protests
04:27against Border Patrol officers who they say are targeting immigrants for their criminal past.
04:32CNN's Shimon Prokupes has the story.

05:00bank had turned a blind eye to unusual cash transactions they say enabled his scheme.
05:06There was...
05:07Freaky news into CNN.
05:08President Trump's push to redraw congressional lines ahead of next year's midterms has hit
05:12a wall to the end.
05:14The Republican leader of the state Senate has announced there are not enough votes to pass
05:18the new maps.
05:19He says because of that, his chamber won't meet for the special session that Governor Mike
05:24Braun had called the behest of the president, the vice president, and Trump's political allies.
05:28We'll be keeping a close eye on this story.
05:31In the meantime, 21 people have been arrested, including at least one clergy member during
05:36tense clashes outside the Broadview ICE facility near Chicago.
05:40CNN affiliates tell us the protests were largely peaceful, but then police acted quickly when
05:46a group of protesters reportedly began pushing past barriers in a designated protest zone,
05:52and that led to arrests.
05:53Jessica?
05:54We have exclusive new reporting.
05:56CNN is learning top energy and nuclear officials are planning to meet at the White House in the

06:13resume testing of nuclear weapons.
