States scramble to send full SNAP food benefits to millions of people after government shutdown ends

The Associated Press

State officials are working to restore full SNAP benefits to millions of people after the long U.S. government shutdown has finally ended. Some state officials said Thursday that full November SNAP benefits should be available to spend on groceries by Friday, if not sooner. A series of court rulings and shifting policies from the Trump administration had led to inconsistent distribution of November benefits. About two-thirds of states had issued only partial or no benefits before the shutdown ended Wednesday night. The federal food program serves about 42 million people in lower-income households.

Epstein email says Trump 'knew about the girls' as White House calls its release a Democratic smear

The Associated Press

President Donald Trump says Democrats who released Jeffrey Epstein emails mentioning him are trying to bring up his ties to the late sex offender again because "they'll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they've done" on the government shutdown and other issues. The emails were made public Wednesday by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee. The White House accuses Democrats of selectively leaking the emails to smear the Republican president. Epstein wrote in a 2011 email Trump had "spent hours" at Epstein's house with a sex trafficking victim and said in a separate message years later Trump "knew about the girls." Trump denies any knowledge of Epstein's crimes.
