RFK Jr. Testifies Before Senate, Fed Confirmation Hearing, Harvard's Legal Victory

The Up First podcast episode for September 4th covers three main news stories: the Senate hearing for Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. amidst upheaval at the CDC, President Trump's efforts to exert more control over the Federal Reserve by filling vacant seats and potentially removing a current governor, and a federal judge's ruling against the Trump administration's freeze on research funding to Harvard University due to alleged anti-Semitism on campus. The podcast provides insights and analysis from NPR correspondents on each of these developing situations.
