Live from NPR News. In Washington, I'm Lakshmi Singh. A federal judge in Manhattan is denying the Trump administration's request to release grand jury transcripts from the Justice Department's investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. That's the once powerful financier who died by suicide in 2019. The DOJ argues that the transcripts should be released because of public interest in the epstein case. Here's NPR's Ryan Lucas.

U.S. district Judge Richard Berman says the government has failed to show any special circumstance that would justify making public grand jury transcripts that are normally secret. Berman says the grand jury Materials requested total 70 pages of summary testimony from a single FBI agent, one PowerPoint exhibit and four pages of call logs. And that, Berman notes, pales in comparison to the hundreds of thousands of pages of Epstein files and in the government's possession. And he says the government's files would better inform the public than the grand jury materials. Berman is the third of three federal judges to deny the administration's requests to unseal Epstein grand jury transcripts. Ryan Lucas, NPR News, Washington.

NATO's top military commander called the 32 chiefs of defense together for an update on the security situation in Ukraine and its implications for Europe. Following the session, Admiral Giuseppe Kavadragoni said unity among the allies was tangible and that their priority remains a just, credible and durable peace for Ukraine. The extraordinary session comes after President Trump said the US May be willing to provide air support to a European led coalition expected to deploy to Ukraine once there's a ceasefire to monitor, but that no U.S. troops would be sent to Ukraine. For NPR News, I'm Terry Schultz in Brussels.
