  • I'm Rachel Martin, host of Wildcard from NPR.

  • I've spent years interviewing all kinds of people,

  • and I've realized there are ideas that we all think about, but don't talk about very much.

  • So I made a shortcut, a deck of cards with questions that anyone can answer,

  • questions that go deep into the experiences that shape us.

  • Listen to the Wildcard podcast only from NPR.

  • Live from NPR News in Washington, on Corva Coleman,

  • President Trump says he started planning for a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to end Russia's war in Ukraine.

  • Trump says he also wants to plan another meeting that would include those two men and himself.

  • This comes after yesterday's big gathering at the White House,

  • where Zelensky and several European leaders met with Trump.

  • Afterwards, Zelensky said no date has been set for the three-way meeting.

  • President Trump says the U.S. will help with security guarantees for Ukraine,

  • but Trump did not explain what the U.S. role might look like.

  • He did say the Europeans would be a first line of defense for Ukraine.

  • The House Oversight Committee says the Justice Department has agreed to provide the panel with records related to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

  • NPR's Ryan Lucas reports the committee subpoenaed the Epstein materials earlier this month.

  • The Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Kentucky's James Comer,

  • says the Justice Department will begin turning over Epstein-related records this Friday.

  • He says it will take some time for all the materials to be provided to the committee.
