  • This week on Consider This, tariffs are starting to fuel inflation.

  • We track how higher costs are winding their way through the supply chain and where you could see them.

  • And air traffic controllers say a Trump administration push to modernize their equipment won't fix deeper problems.

  • Hear why on Consider This.

  • Listen on the NPR app or wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Giles Snyder.

  • President Trump is suing the Wall Street Journal.

  • Trump filed the lawsuit over the papers reporting on his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

  • The lawsuit seeks at least 10 billion dollars in damages and also names owner Rupert Murdoch.

  • NPR's Ryan Lucas says the Epstein's sex trafficking case is shaping up as a major speed bump in Trump's second term.

  • Trump himself of course did say during the campaign that he was in favor of releasing Epstein's purported client list and once he was back in office...

  • his Attorney General Pam Bondi promised transparency on this.

  • She'd hyped the release of a first batch of Epstein files in February.

  • Everything in that batch by and large turned out to already have been known.

  • She took some heat over that.

  • But Bondi's own public statements have certainly contributed to the blowback that we've seen.

  • The Wall Street Journal lawsuit was filed shortly after the Justice Department asked a federal court to unseal grand jury transcripts in Epstein's case.

  • The Trump administration will release some of the Congressionally approved funding for schools that it withheld at the start of the month.

  • However, billions of dollars are still frozen as NPR's Sequoia Carrillo reports.

  • The Office of Management and Budget says it has completed its review of one of the six programs in question under the current funding freeze.
