Live from NPR News in New York City. I'm Dwahalisai Kautel. The Trump administration did not meet the legal deadline to make public every possible document about Jeffrey Epstein. The convicted sex offender died in 2019. And today in an official social media post, the Justice Department says it received over a million more documents from the Southern District of New York to be reviewed and released to the public. NPR political correspondent Sarah McCammon reports.

Well, DOJ has been under a lot of pressure, at least from some members of both parties, to disclose more information. They had a deadline to release all of their files on Friday, and they only released an initial batch, which further angered the White House's critics. More documents have been trickling out since then, and there's still a lot to sort through. But the contents of the files appear to be, if nothing else, embarrassing for the president and potentially a lot of other people.

Zelensky revealed the details of the latest peace plan to reporters in Kyiv during a briefing. He said Ukraine was against withdrawing troops from the eastern Ukrainian area known as Donbas, but that US Negotiators are pushing for demilitarization so it can become a free economic zone. Zelensky says he might agree if Russia also pulls back its troops in the region. The latest peace plan includes NATO style security guarantees for Ukraine and stationing international forces on the front line. Zelensky said the U.S. and Ukraine have not agreed on who should control Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which is occupied by Russian forces. Joanna Kakissis, NPR News, Kyiv.

On one of the busiest travel weeks of the year, people who use wheelchairs tell NPR they expect to find repeated problems when they check into hotels. NPR's Joseph Shapiro reports.

It's been 35 years since the Americans with Disabilities act became law and required hotels to be made accessible for people with disabilities. But 200 wheelchair users responding to an NPR survey say they run into repeated problems. Most common is that they reserve an accessible room either online or with a phone call. When they show up, the room isn't available, or they get the room that's called accessible, but it isn't. Maybe the shower is too small or the bed is too tall. These should be easy things to fix. But but the problems continue. An official for the hotel industry told NPR it values disabled travelers and that hotels want to get things right. Joseph Shapiro, NPR News.
