This NPR news podcast covers three main stories: a contentious Oval Office meeting between President Trump, Vice President Vance, and President Zelenskyy, resulting in a canceled joint press conference and unsigned mineral resource treaty; the demotion of several Department of Justice lawyers involved in January 6th cases, raising concerns about political retribution; and the Department of Agriculture's plan to address the bird flu outbreak and high egg prices, including a $1 billion investment in biosecurity and potential egg imports. The Ukrainian reaction to the Oval Office meeting is described as outrage and panic, with concerns about the Trump administration's perceived pro-Russia stance. The podcast highlights the demotion of senior prosecutors involved in high-profile January 6th cases as a significant development within the Department of Justice.
