New evidence is emerging in the Cornell University sexual assault case, including portions of Jane Doe’s original police interview, text messages and details from Cornell’s investigative records. Jordan breaks down what the Tompkins County District Attorney says his office knew when it decided not to pursue criminal charges in 2024, what appears in the newly reported police interview, why the criminal investigation has now been reopened and what Cornell’s newly announced independent review could look like. Plus, the Trump administration has formally reinstated its 2020 Title IX regulations. Jordan explains what actually changed — and what didn’t — including the rules surrounding sexual harassment, off-campus misconduct, live hearings, cross-examination, sexual orientation and gender identity. Then, in Rumor Has It: Are taxpayers paying for pro-Trump television ads? Is the Trump administration considering an MLB baseball field in Grand Teton National Park? And is the administration gutting student loans for female-dominated fields? Also covered in Quick Hitters: the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, new economic data, Supreme Court cases involving third-country deportations and a Tennessee execution, the Texas Capitol threat investigation, the FTC’s investigation into AI companies, the Paramount-Warner Bros.
