Hey, I'm Tracy Mumford.
There is a lot happening right now.
The Headlines podcast from the New York Times will catch you up on the latest in 10 minutes or less.
We'll take you inside breaking news and big investigations from the Times newsroom.
Plus, bring you the stories that make you go, huh, whoa, I didn't know that.
Listen to our show, The Headlines, every weekday morning, wherever you get your podcasts.
From The New York Times, I'm Michael Labarro.
This is The Daily.
Today.
The story of how the conspiracy theories surrounding Jeffrey Epstein made their way to the highest levels of the Trump administration and why,
over the past few days, the White House finally decided it was time to shut them down.
My colleague, Glenn Thrush, takes us inside the saga.
It's Wednesday, July 9th.
Hey there, Glenn.
Hello.
Thank you for joining us.
Seventeen minutes late?
Well, you know, you're lucky it wasn't 20.
I know you're on deadline, so thank you for making time for us.
You're welcome.
