PBS News Hour full episode, Feb. 16, 2026

Correction: The opening to this episode used an incorrect title for the prime minister of Hungary. We regret the error. Monday on the News Hour, Secretary of State Rubio gives Hungary's far-right prime minister a re-election boost, just days after trying to smooth over relations with other European allies. The Justice Department gives its reasoning for how it redacted the Epstein files. Plus, the partial government shutdown over Homeland Security funding drags on with no end in sight.
