President Trump is dismissing the new photos of him released from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. Over a dozen photos were released in total on Friday by House Democrats, with one showing President Trump with six women whose faces are redacted. Trump said he doesn't know much about the release, adding that Epstein was a figure on Palm Beach, Florida for a long time. Other photos show Epstein with Steve Bannon, former President Clinton, and Woody Allen.        Washington state is getting slammed with severe flooding from an atmospheric river. Tens of thousands have been evacuated with dozens of water rescues reported along rivers from Tacoma to British Columbia. Forecasters say the heavy rain has subsided in Washington, but even those rivers that have crested could remain at dangerously high levels into the weekend. Over 30 highways have been closed and officials are reminding evacuating residents not to drive on flooded roads. No deaths have been reported.        The U.S. Navy has finished its review of Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly. That's according to multiple reports which say it entails potential punishments related to Kelly participating in a viral video with other Democratic lawmakers saying service members can ignore illegal orders issued by the Trump administration. President Trump himself called the video "seditious." Kelly has previously stated that he will not be intimidated. It's unclear what the potential punishments in the report could be.        President Trump has issued a pardon to former Mesa County, Colorado Clerk Tina Peters even though she's only been convicted on the state level. The president made the announcement in a Truth Social post, saying he's granting a full pardon to Peters because she attempted to expose voter fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election. Peters was sentenced to nine years in prison for her role in the security breach at her local elections office during that cycle, and Governor Jared Polis holds the exclusive power to pardon her. The Trump Administration asked Colorado to transfer Peters to federal custody, but Colorado declined the request.        Former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore has been released from jail. He's accused of threatening to kill himself in front of a staffer he once had a relationship with. Moore appeared via camera at a court hearing today from an Ann Arbor jail wearing a white jumpsuit, as he heard the charges against him. They include felony home invasion, and misdemeanor stalking and breaking and entering. Moore is being released on a 25-thousand-dollar bond, and must wear a GPS device. Moore was fired earlier this week over the alleged inappropriate relationship with the staff member.        The NBA Cup semifinals are being held in Las Vegas this weekend. The first game of the day Saturday will see the New York Knicks take on the Orlando Magic at 5:30 p.m. Eastern. That will be followed by the Oklahoma City Thunder facing the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference semifinal. All four remaining teams have never won the in-season tournament. The NBA Cup championship will be played Tuesday in Sin City.
