Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the Department of Justice will likely release documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, including flight logs from his private jet, the following day. The delay in releasing the documents was attributed to the need to protect the identities and personal information of over 250 victims. Bondi confirmed that the release would include flight logs, potentially revealing many names. She stated that redactions related to victims would be completed before the release. Speculation about Epstein's associates has been rampant since his 2019 suicide. His co-defendant, Ghislaine Maxwell, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for her role in Epstein's crimes. While redacted versions of Epstein's contact book and flight logs have previously surfaced, complete versions, along with alleged surveillance footage from his residences, have yet to be made public. Previously unsealed documents named over 170 people with ties to Epstein, including royalty, politicians, and Hollywood figures.

Matt Sauerhoff, CEO of The LIV Method fitness center and "Today" show personality, was caught on video berating celebrity chef Eddie Huang in their luxury Midtown building. The argument stemmed from an unleashed dog. Sauerhoff, using explicit language, accused Huang of not belonging in the building and demanded he leave. Huang, who was watching a UFC fight with his Doberman, said he asked Sauerhoff to leash his dog, but Sauerhoff refused, leading to the escalating confrontation. The incident continued inside the building's lobby, with Sauerhoff revealing his apartment number and engaging in further verbal abuse. Huang later reported a bizarre encounter with Sauerhoff's mother-in-law, who mentioned her husband was a state judge, which Huang interpreted as a veiled threat. Sauerhoff declined to comment on the incident. An employee at Sauerhoff's gym defended him, praising his business and character. Huang expressed hope the situation is resolved, although he stated a preference for Sauerhoff to move out of the building.

An American Airlines flight aborted its landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport to avoid a collision with another aircraft. This incident, along with a near-miss at Chicago Midway International Airport involving a Southwest flight and a private jet, and a series of recent crashes, has sparked safety concerns. The American Airlines flight, approaching the runway, was instructed to perform a go-around to maintain separation from a departing plane. While the go-around was a standard maneuver, passengers described the experience as terrifying. The near-miss at Chicago Midway involved a private jet crossing the runway as a Southwest flight was landing. The US Transportation Secretary stated that pilots who fail to follow air traffic control instructions will have their licenses revoked. These incidents follow a deadly midair collision near Reagan National Airport, a Medevac crash in Philadelphia, a regional airline crash in Alaska, and a Delta plane crash in Toronto. Experts and lawmakers have expressed concerns about the crowded airspace above Washington, D.C., citing security measures, military and government flights, and the busy runway at Reagan National Airport. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating these incidents, along with the FAA.
