The CDC makes major changes related to vaccines and autism. Pam Bondi signals new investigations related to Epstein may be in the works, and former Vice President Dick Cheney is laid to rest. I'm Daily Wire, Executive Editor John Bickley, with Georgia Howe. It's Thursday, November 20th. This is Evening Wire. The CDC has made a significant change in its stance on vaccines and autism. Daily Wire reporter Amanda Presta Giacomo has the details.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, updated its website this week to suggest that autism could be caused by infant vaccinations, a major agency shift from past administrations. The site now reads, quote, the claim vaccines do not cause autism is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. The CDC now also says that studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities. Health and Human Services has been conducting what it calls

comprehensive assessment of what causes autism, and they've already announced an association between Tylenol use during pregnancy and autism. Speaking of HHS, it released a peer-reviewed study yesterday documenting the harms of what it calls sex-rejecting treatments for minors. Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham has more. The paper states, quote, harms from sex-rejecting procedures, including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical operations are significant, long-term. term and too often ignored or inadequately tracked. The report specifically called out the AMA and American Academy of Pediatrics for, quote, pedaling the lie that chemical and surgical sex-rejecting

procedures could be good for children. The HHS announcement states the agency commissioned the most comprehensive study to date of the scientific evidence and clinical practices surrounding the treatment of children and adolescents for gender dysphoria. They also note that they invited the AMA and ACP to contribute their own data, but those organizations declined to participate. Assistant Secretary for Health, Brian Christine announced the study in a post on X. Over the past decade, the number of children and adolescents who reject their biological sex has risen dramatically. These young people and their families are searching for answers to gender dysphoria. They deserve honesty, compassion, and the strongest evidence for the help that the medical

profession can offer. I implore physicians and parents to read this report and protect children from fraudulent procedures. Protecting our children's health and their future is good medicine. As he said he would, President Trump signed the Epstein bill last night. Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi says new information warrants further investigations into the Jeffrey Epstein case and those connected to the convicted sex abuser. Daily Wire reporter Zach Jewel has more. Bondi fielded questions about Epstein during a press conference alongside FBI director Cash Patel and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche yesterday. She confirmed that the Department of Justice would release additional Epstein files within

30 days of Trump's signing legislation making the documents public. Bondi, however, suggested that some material could be withheld as the investigation is ongoing. There's information that new information, additional information, and again, we will continue to follow the law, to investigate any leads, if there are any victims. We encourage all victims to come forward, and we will continue to provide maximum transparency under the law. Last week, President Donald Trump directed the Justice Department to investigate Epstein's connection to a list of powerful Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, and venture capitalist Reid Hoffman.

One lawmaker feeling the heat from her claims about Epstein is Democrat Jasmine Crockett, while on the House floor, the far-left Congresswoman accused multiple Republicans of having accepted money from Jeffrey Epstein. Folks who also took money from somebody named Jeffrey Epstein, as I had my team dig in very quickly, Mitt Romney, the NRC, Lee Zeldon, George Bush, Wynne, Wynne, Wynne, McAin, Rick Lazio. I just want to be clear. If this is the standard that we're going to make, just know we're going to expose it all. The only problem, it wasn't the right Jeffrey Epstein.

Instead, it was a totally different Dr. Jeffrey Epstein. Amid backlash, Crockett told CNN that she never said which Epstein it was and then tried to blame Republicans for the whole debacle. Listen, I never said that it was that Jeffrey Epstein, just so that people understand when you make a donation, your picture is not there. And because they decided to spring this on us in real time, I wanted the Republicans to think about what could potentially happen because I knew that they didn't even try to go through the FEC. So my team, what they did is they Googled.

And that is specifically why I said, A, Jeffrey Epstein, unlike Republicans, I at least don't go out and just tell lies. Because it was not the same one, that's fine. But when Lee Zeldon has something to say, all he had to say was it was a Jeffrey Epstein. He admitted that he did receive donations from a Jeffrey Epstein. So at least I wasn't trying to mislead people. Now, have I dug in to find out who this doctor is? I have not. 60% of the vans on Amazon

Daily Wire senior editor, Joel Needler, has more. A new report from the Commerce Department shows the U.S. trade deficit decreased by 24% in August as the president's tariffs hit countries around the globe. While economists say that reducing trade deficits doesn't necessarily help an economy, the White House is touting the new data saying it's, quote, more proof that President Trump's trade and economic. agenda continue to pay off for the American people. A White House spokesman said in a statement to the Daily Wire, quote, as the president's historic trade deals and pro-growth policies continue to take effect, and trillions in investments to make and hire in America continue to materialize, Americans can rest assured that the best is yet to come. Amid worry about a possible AI bubble,

chipmaker NVIDIA announced its third quarter earnings on Wednesday, and they surpassed Wall Street expectations. The company's fourth quarter sales projections are also stronger than anticipated. The tech giant says it expects around $65 billion in sales this quarter, more than $3 billion better than analysts predicted. InVIDIA's earnings report was met with a collective sigh of relief, as the markets have seen significant declines in recent days amid concerns about the value of AI ventures. In other welcome economic news, job growth surpassed expectations in September. Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce has the numbers. Economists predicted that we'd gain just 50,000 jobs for September,

but the actual number came in at more than twice that, 119,000 new jobs. That's the strongest hiring uptick since April. But amid the good news, there was also a revision down for the previous two months of 33,000 lower than previously reported. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate also ticked up just a bit above projections rising to 4.4% while economists had projected a rise of 4.3%. Another Biden administration green effort is going up in smoke. The administration had planned to sink $77 million into building 140 solar electric vehicle charging stations.

But Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins announced Wednesday that he's going to use that money to help our war veterans. Those tens of millions that were set aside for constructing the stations instead will now help provide physical therapy for veterans and help fund projects to fight cancer. A Democratic Congresswoman from Florida is facing decades of in prison after the Justice Department accused her of stealing more than five million from FEMA funds. Daily Wire political reporter Cameron Arcand reports. The Justice Department announced Wednesday that a Miami grand jury has indicted Representative Sheila Sheriffless McCormick for fraudulently obtaining FEMA funds meant for COVID vaccinations, then laundering the proceeds and putting the money toward her congressional race in 2021.

The DOJ says that the Democrat Congresswoman conspire with her brother, 51-year-old Edwin Sheriffless to steal a $5 million FEMA overpayment that was sent to their family's health care company. Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement, quote, using disaster relief funds for self-enrichment is a particularly selfish cynical crime. No one is above the law, least of all powerful people who robbed taxpayers for personal gain. The Congresswoman is now stepping down from her committee leadership position. An unusual mix of Democrats and Republicans packed into the Washington-Nashire. National Cathedral on Thursday to mourn former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Former President George W. Bush led the Pact crowd, which included former members of his administration, as well as a number of Democrats who came to respect Cheney late in his life for his criticisms of President Donald Trump. Neither Trump nor Vice President J.D. Vance were invited to attend the ceremony. NASA has released new photos of rare interstellar comet 3-Ey Atlas. The images were taken in October when the comet traveled through the inner solar system. Only two other objects have ever been confirmed to be from outside our solar system, including Al Muamua in 2017, which sparked excitement about possible alien life. Tom Statler, NASA's lead scientist for solar system small bodies,

calls the event a, quote, new window into the makeups and histories of other solar systems. And the first allegation of a crime committed in space may result in years of prison time for the accuser. Daily Wire, Assistant Editor Andy Valdez explains, The estranged wife of a NASA astronaut is now facing up to five years in federal prison and significant fines. Her crime? Lying to law enforcement about the actions of her astronaut spouse, while that spouse was in space. The accuser, Summer Warden, pleaded guilty this week to falsely accusing astronaut Ann McLean of illegally accessing Warden's bank records, while McLean was on the International Space Station. But Warden has since admitted that the allegation was false.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas says Warden now faces up to five years in federal prison and up to $250,000 in fines for the false report. The sentencing is scheduled for February. All right, those are your drive home updates today. To learn more about these stories, go to Dailywire.com.
