House Democrats said billionaire Les Wexner downplayed his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and provided few new details during a closed-door Oversight Committee deposition Wednesday.

Rev. Jamal Bryant says Black churches must reclaim their historic mantle of leadership — and guide the nation through what he calls a moral and civic crossroads. Why it matters: Bryant, who called Rev. Jesse Jackson his "superhero" and "blueprint," is stepping into a prophetic tradition shaped by Jackson and other civil rights giants — many of whom are now gone. - Jackson, who died Tuesday and is expected to be honored with a funeral next week, embodied a model of ministry fused with movement-building that shaped Atlanta's political culture and beyond. - Bryant says it's a tradition that must now be revived for a new generation.
