Newsday

Available for 24 days

The Democratic congresswoman, Melanie Stansbury said it showed no one was above the law and hailed what she said was stronger accountability in Britain. Her colleague, Jerry Nadler, said the arrest - although not linked to Epstein's sexual crimes - was "a great start" to getting justice for survivors. Andrew has previously denied all wrongdoing. In Venezuela, interim President Delcy Rodrigues signs into law legislation that could see the release of hundreds of political prisoners. But we'll hear from Caracas where there are concerns the Amnesty Act does not go far enough and could exclude those who supported US military action in the country.
