Trump orders the DOJ to unseal grand jury transcripts in the Epstein case, but the move may fall short. NBC News reports the documents won't include key FBI interviews, evidence, or unredacted names. Brendan Ballou, former federal prosecutor with the Justice Department's National Security Division, and Angelo Carusone, president of Media Matters, join The Weeknight to discuss what's missing – and what it means. Plus, the Texas Legislature is back in session with Republicans pushing to carve out five new GOP seats. Protests erupted in Austin today as activists rallied with a clear message: "Hands off my district." Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D-Texas) joins The Weeknight to respond.

Donald Trump posts a fake, AI-generated video of Barack Obama being arrested, part of what critics say is a dangerous attempt to distract his base from the Epstein fallout. Will Sommer, senior reporter for The Bulwark and author of Trust the Plan: The Rise of QAnon and the Conspiracy That Unhinged America, and Tim O'Brien, senior executive editor at Bloomberg Opinion, join The Weeknight to discuss the latest in the Epstein fallout. Plus, Speaker Mike Johnson won't allow a vote on a bipartisan resolution to release Epstein documents until after the August recess but Democrats aren't backing down. Top Oversight Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia joins The Weeknight to discuss his demands for full transparency.
