US lawmakers are accusing the Department of Justice (DOJ) of improperly redacting files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to a BBC World report. This comes as the maker of weight-loss drugs Wegovy and Ozempic, Novo Nordisk, sued a rival firm for selling what it calls "unsafe, knock-off" versions of its products, as reported by BBC Business. In other news, Kenya plans to confront Russia over the alleged recruitment of Kenyan citizens to fight in the war in Ukraine, as stated by BBC World. Singer Chappell Roan has also left a talent agency led by Casey Wasserman after his name appeared in the Epstein files, according to BBC World. Meanwhile, Fox News contributor Dan Bongino outlined three possibilities in the Nancy Guthrie disappearance case.
Members of Congress were allowed to begin reviewing the unredacted versions of approximately three million pages of files released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA) since December, according to BBC World. Democratic Representative Ro Khanna told MS NOW that the core issue is that the DOJ is not complying with his law, as the files were "scrubbed back in March by Donald Trump's FBI." At least one document has been unredacted since the lawmakers' complaint.
Novo Nordisk, the Danish company behind Ozempic and Wegovy, filed a lawsuit in US courts on Monday, seeking to ban Hims & Hers' range of weight-loss pills and injections. Novo Nordisk claims these products are not approved by US authorities and infringe on its patent, as reported by BBC Business. Hims & Hers initially launched a new weight-loss pill on Friday, prompting a threat from Novo Nordisk. Over the weekend, Hims & Hers announced it would stop selling the pill. On Monday, its share price slumped as it called Novo Nordisk's decision to press ahead with the lawsuit a "blatant attack."
Kenya's Foreign Minister Musalia Mudavadi told the BBC that the government will address the "unacceptable and clandestine" practice of recruiting Kenyan citizens to fight in the war in Ukraine. Nairobi has shut down illegal recruiters and will urge Moscow to sign a deal banning the conscription of Kenyan soldiers, according to BBC World. The Kenyan government estimates that around 200 of its nationals have been recruited to fight for Russia.
Singer Chappell Roan announced her departure from the talent agency led by Casey Wasserman, whose name appears in the Epstein files, according to BBC World. Roan stated she has a "duty to protect her team" and believes that "meaningful change in our industry requires accountability." Wasserman has faced criticism after his flirtatious emails to Ghislaine Maxwell, sent in 2003, were revealed in the files.
In the Nancy Guthrie disappearance case, Fox News contributor Dan Bongino outlined three possibilities. He suggested the first possibility is a kidnapping for ransom, the second is a crime that went awry, and the third is a more complex scenario involving other actors. The lack of leads has left investigators confronting unsettling questions, according to Bongino.
