He adds that he does not…

Specialists say this tactic manufactures uncertainty. Alison Singer of the Autism Science Foundation says science cannot prove an absolute negative. She explains that strong conclusions come from…

The law requires disclosure within 30 days, though officials may withhold details that compromise ongoing investigations or invade personal privacy. With Trump’s support, the bill passes both chambers with overwhelming approval. He changes his stance after pressure from survivors and members of his own party.
