Saturday that more than a dozen files released by the Justice Department a day earlier had been taken down from the Epstein Files website. They included an image that showed a desk covered with photos, including at least one of President Trump. That led to questions about why the photos had been removed. On Sunday morning, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch told NBC's Meet the Press that the images were pulled down because a judge had told them to listen to concerns from victims and victim rights groups. Later, the Justice Department posted on X that it had reviewed the photo of the desk and found no evidence that any Epstein victims were depicted. It has been reposted without any alteration or redaction, the post said. Andrea Hsu, NPR News.

On Tuesday, the US Is set to release an important report card detailing how much the economy grew in the July to September period. It's backwards looking, so it's not going to provide the latest snapshot of the economy. Nonetheless, the GDP report is coming at a time when Americans are not feeling great about the economy. Recent polls have shown the cost of living and affordability are becoming a top concern at many households. That's putting a lot of pressure on President Trump, who is aggressively defending his economic record. And it means this GDP data could attract even more attention in the days leading up to Christmas. Rafael Nam, NPR News.
