The House voted to pass a bill compelling the Justice Department to release all of the Epstein files. The bill passed with a landslide 427-1 vote, with Republican Clay Higgins voting against it. The measure will now move on to the Senate, where House Speaker Mike Johnson has called on his colleagues to make some changes to the bill, including increasing protections for Epstein’s victims.

At a public meeting on Tuesday, NTSB officials said the small label on the container ship’s wiring was placed when it was built roughly 10 years ago. The label was incorrectly placed on the wire’s metal ring cap — its ferrule — possibly preventing a good connection and causing it to lose power, officials said.The March 2024 crash prompted the bridge, considered the crown jewel of Baltimore, to collapse, killing six construction workers.”The fact is, none of us should be here today,” said Jennifer Homendy, chairwoman of the NTSB, in her opening remarks. “This tragedy should have never occurred. Lives should have never been lost, as with all accidents that we investigate, this was preventable.”The Dali container vessel after striking the Francis Scott Key Bridge that collapsed into the Patapsco River in Baltimore, in March 2024.Al Drago / Bloomberg via Getty Images fileNTSB officials did not specify that the power outage caused the crash. The NTSB will hold a vote at the end of the meeting to determine a probable cause for the crash, which has yet to be finalized. Marcel Muise, an NTSB investigator, said the faulty placement of the label might have caused the vessel to lose its steering ability and to stop operating its bow thruster, water pumps, and lighting. The 947-foot Singapore-flagged Dali container ship, chartered by the Danish shipping giant Maersk, was bound for Sri Lanka when it struck the bridge in the early hours of March 26, 2024. It was in operation for roughly ten years before the crash. Officials on Tuesday did not detail why the improperly placed wire label would cause a poor connection last year and not prior.Minutes before the crash, the ship’s lights flickered on and off, and black smoke billowed from the stack. Both are signs of power losses, according to officials. The NTSB concluded in a preliminary report last year that the ship lost power twice shortly before the crash.The bridge then collapsed into the depths of the Patapsco River seconds later. The collapse killed six roadwork crew members who were on the bridge when the crash occurred. None of the ship’s more than 20 crew members died in the accident. The bodies of the six construction workers were recovered over several days after the collapse of the bridge. Muise said on Tuesday that all of the construction workers were found dead in their vehicles. On Monday, Maryland officials more than doubled the estimated cost to replace the bridge and said it will take two years longer to complete than initially predicted. The Maryland Transportation Authority said it expects the bridge rebuild to cost $4.3 billion to $5.2 billion, with a reopening date around late 2030.Synergy, the company that operated the Dali, did not immediately return a request for comment.

The arrangement was revealed in a Freedom of Information request by The Times newspaper last week.The palace said: “His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation.”The Royal Lodge was the home of Elizabeth, King George VI’s consort and the mother of Queen Elizabeth II, from 1952 until she died in 2002.Legal documents published by The Times, not verified by NBC News, indicated that King Charles III’s younger brother paid £1 million for the lease when he moved into the property in 2004, also paying £7.5 million for refurbishment works. The palace and Prince Andrew did not previously comment on the reports.The Royal Lodge, the residence of Prince Andrew, near Windsor.STAR MAX / IPx / AP fileIn a statement two weeks ago, Andrew cited “the continued accusations about me” that “distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family.””As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me,” Andrew said.The storm has only intensified since, with the publication of late Epstein survivor Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, detailing allegations against Andrew, on Monday.Giuffre, who died by suicide in April, wrote that she had sex with the prince on three occasions, including an “orgy” involving “eight other young girls” who “appeared to be under the age of 18 and didn’t really speak English.”Andrew reached a legal settlement with Giuffre for an undisclosed amount in February 2022 after she filed a civil case against him in a New York court. He has repeatedly denied having met her and previously denied that a photograph of the two of them is real.This is a developing story.
