Former federal prosecutor explains why Special Counsel Jack Smith is pushing back against Donald Trump's assassination claims, describing them as extreme even by Trump's standards.
Former President Donald Trump and his allies are falsely accusing President Joe Biden of authorizing Trump's assassination during the FBI's 2022 raid of Mar-a-Lago. The claims are based on standard language in FBI search warrants that authorize the use of deadly force in appropriate circumstances. The FBI and legal experts have clarified that this language is routine and no deadly force was used during the raid. The accusations have been amplified by Trump supporters, despite being debunked by official statements and legal documents.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has responded to claims of an assassination plot against him, stating that he trusts the security agencies and their investigation into the matter. Modi's response comes after reports emerged of a possible threat to his life from a group with alleged links to Pakistan's intelligence agency. The Prime Minister assured the public that he is well-protected and urged everyone to have faith in the security measures in place.
