This is w b Z, Boston's news radio readefining local news.
Seventy three degrees in Boston, partly cloudy skies, but a lot of hayes out there on this Tuesday morning. It's eleven o'clock in morning. I'm Nicole Davis, and we're watching developing news out of Washington. The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed the Department of Justice for the so called Epstein files. This is part of an ongoing probe into a potential
link between Jeffrey Epstein, President Trump, and other officials. The committee is currently controlled by Republicans that has also subpoenaed former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and eight former top in law enforcement officials. All of this comes as the Trump administration faces backlash for a
perceived lack of transparency in that case. This comes as the Justice Department today launched a grand jury investigation into President Trump's claim that back in twenty sixteen, former President Baraccob I'm a committed treason. Here CBS is Michael Wallace.
The probe comes three weeks after Director of National Intelligence Tulsey Gabbard released declassified files about Russia's actions during the twenty sixteen election, She claimed the Obama administration developed a fake intelligence report saying Russia tried to help get President Trump elected.
What followed afterward can only be described as a year's long coup and the trees in this conspiracy.
Democrats point out a bipartisan Senate investigation, two Special councils, and the CIA looked into the Russian interference and found nothing about any conspiracy. Michael Wallace, CBS News.
At eleven oh one, investigators on the South Shore said they have tracked a recent recent cyber attack on a regional dispatch system to a group that's connected to Russia. Back on Saturday, the hackers had the South Shore Regional Emergency Communications system taking down the software dispatchers, though switched over to a manual system so they didn't miss any
calls for first responders in Norwell, Hullhngham and Cohasset. What we don't know yet is how much, if any, confidential informacation information the hackers got a hold of, or what the motive might be. The system is back up and running, and the FBI says it is keeping an eye on this situation, and a new poll is showing just how stressed out Americans are getting over high grocery prices. Your CBS is Jim Crosula.
Half of Americans say the cost of groceries there's a major source of stress for them. Another thirty three percent say high food prices or a minor stress. That's according to a new pole from the Associated Press orc Center for Public Affairs Research. And I've tried to avoid the negative. It's still on the positive, but it's very, very hard, especially when you go in the store and buy some meat.
It's ridiculous.

We've got a lot of that Canadian wildfire smoke just setting up shop right over Massachusetts. If you're on the coast today, there is a chance that you might see a little bit of a reprieve from a nice onshore breeze that's coming in about ten fifteen miles hour. Looking out the window, though I don't see much except for a lot of smoke in haze, really just getting in
the way of the city skyline of Boston. One of those days where if you happen to be sensitive to the air quality if you're in one of those groups where your health conditions are maybe making a little bit tough to breathe when it comes to wildfire smoke. Today's probably a day you want to limit your time outside or maybe mask up if you have to. For the rest of the day, we'll get up into the mid
seventies in Boston, near eighty inland. Then tonight partly to mostly cloudy, and we have a low near sixty, mid to upper fifties inland. For tomorrow, more of the same, hazy sunshine, a high near seventy five in Boston, eighty Inland, mix of clouds and some On Thursday with a high near eighty. It's seventy two in Gardener, seventy one in Gloucester, seventy six degrees. Right now in Carver in Boston at eleven oh five, a lot of hazy clouds and seventy
three degrees. The City of Boston is demanding more answers from the Craft Group is after their expensive proposal to build a new England Revolution Soccer Stadium in Everett was rolled out. Here's WBC's Drew moholland.
The effort to build this new pro soccer stadium for the New England Revolution in Everett. My goodness, lots of twists and turns along the way. Dueling news conferences highlight all the frustration. Boston Mayor Michelle Wou putting her foot in the sand. The City of Boston has asked the Craft Group for basic information. The mayor outlining the city's beef with Craft Group developers, setting a lack of clarity regarding the twenty five thousand seat stadium pitch on the
site of an abandoned power plant. The mayor calls out the Craft Group for falling far short of community obligations in regard to not releasing detailed plans. Okay, so the Craft Group counters with the media event of its own to say it can't provide all the information until the environmental permitting process plays out. And Everett Mayor Carlo D. Murria, well, he has some questions himself.
I don't know what the City of Boston expects.
Like tach revenue, it's not in Boston.
It's an Everett so settled, no far from it. Stay tuned. Drew moholland WBZ, Boston's news radio.
It appears a regional battle is shaped up for control of the WNBA team, the Connecticut Sun. We recently learned about a move from Celtic's minority owner, Steve Paglioka, to buy up the team and move it to Boston. Now, The Hartford Current reports a Connecticut investment group is pulling together its own bid. They hope to pack the team up and move it from Mohegan Sun Casino to the Excel Arena in Hartford. Afnue Capital is behind this, driven by Mark Lazri, a West Hartford native and a former
co owner of the NBA's Milwaukee Box. NASA might have figure out how the White House can power up its presence on the Moon. Here's ABC's Andrew Dimbert.
Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy is set to announce the agency as fast tracking plans to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon. Documents obtained by Politico reveal NASA will solicit proposals for a one hundred kilowatt nuclear reactor that would launch to the lunar surface by twenty thirty. NASA has made returning to the Moon and establishing a lasting
human presence there a top priority. Power is key to building bases supporting crews and staying long term, and with fourteen days of darkness on the moon each month, solar power won't cut it.
It's not clear how this will be impacted by proposed budget cuts toward NASA. And before we take a look at business, the TSA is eyeing a new program aimed at streamlining airport security.
