This summer we're seeing reboots of "Superman" and "Fantastic Four," so why not "but her emails?" Newsweek reports that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has released documents tied to the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State. "The release includes materials related to former FBI Director James Comey's handling of the investigation, which critics say did not thoroughly examine key evidence," Amanda Castro writes. Castro notes the timing of the release as the Department of Justice tries to deal with backlash over its handling of the Epstein files.

Bill Moyers, the legendary PBS journalist and White House press secretary to Lyndon B. Johnson, died last week at age 91. His obituaries talked about his incredible life — born to a dirt farmer in Oklahoma, ordained a Baptist minister, present on Air Force One after the Kennedy assassination. But Mother Jones CEO Monika Bauerlein, who knew Moyers via his work with the Center for Investigative Reporting, says there's another story to tell. "Moyers knew Trump was not an aberration, but the logical extension of a problem that went back decades," she writes. "Corruption, he wrote me, is 'a condition beyond individual scandals — more a totality of governance, a philosophy that says democracy exists for us to take what we can while we can—to hell with the law, rules, norms and the country. It’s the crime family manifesto of the mafia, affixed to the civic life and public affairs of the nation.'" How best to honor his integrity, intelligence and commitment to truth and good journalism? "The best — and only — way to pay tribute to him is to go out and do the work," Bauerlein concludes.

Just 250 staff remain at Voice of America, after layoffs announced today by Kari Lake, special advisor to the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM). Lake says 1,400 positions have been eliminated across USAGM, an 85% decrease. When President Trump signed an order in March to shrink USAGM, advocates for the agency, including Republican lawmakers, said its networks were vital for fighting disinformation. The three VOA journalists who sued to stop the terminations were all laid off, but say their legal fight will continue.
