"Pelosi Calls for FBI Probe into Alleged Russian Ties of Pro-Palestinian Protesters"

Former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested that some US protests calling for a Gaza ceasefire may be linked to Russia and called for an FBI probe into their funding, without providing evidence. Pelosi's comments marked the first time a prominent US lawmaker has accused Russia's leader of backing US protesters. Protests demanding a ceasefire in Gaza have erupted across the US, with the UN calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, but Washington vetoing resolutions for such calls in the United Nations Security Council.

"Controversy Surrounds Pelosi's Call for FBI Probe into Pro-Palestinian Protests"

Nancy Pelosi expressed her intention to ask the FBI to investigate protesters calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas conflict, suggesting some may be linked to Russia. She emphasized the need to address the suffering in Gaza and expressed concern about foreign adversaries meddling in the 2024 presidential election. Pelosi's remarks highlighted a divide within the Democratic Party, contrasting with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's view that ongoing protests at Biden campaign events reflect young people's opposition to the violence and loss of life in the conflict.

House Intel Chair Expresses Concern Over Trump's Classified Documents Case and Upcoming Durham Testimony.

House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner hopes that special counsel John Durham's upcoming testimony will reveal government misconduct in the FBI's probe of possible links between Russia and former President Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. Turner wants to ensure accountability in investigative processes and prevent political bias from entering into political campaigns and using the authority of the government to have major media and the government take actions that are not based on truth. Durham is set to provide closed-door testimony to Turner's panel on Tuesday.

Comparing Trump and Clinton's classified document scandals.

Donald Trump's comparison of his indictment on charges of illegally retaining classified documents and obstructing the federal investigation to Hillary Clinton's email scandal is inaccurate and self-serving. While investigators found problems with how both Trump and Clinton handled classified material, there are several key differences between their cases. Trump mishandled far more material and was charged with knowingly breaking the law and obstructing the investigation, while the FBI concluded that Clinton didn’t act with criminal intent.
