Trump Attorney: Biden Admin Wants to Deny ALL AMERICANS ability to View Evidence that Exonerates Trump – They Are Denying Trump a Voice

Trump Attorney John Lauro joined FOX News Sunday this morning to discuss the continued attempts by the Biden regime to silence and harass their leading opponent in the upcoming 2024 election.

The Biden regime has now indicted President Trump in over 70 junk indictments that could land him in prison for over 400 years. Democrats have effectively turned America into a lawless Marxist state. Thank goodness they have the mainstream media on their side to spread their lies.

Last week Joe Biden’s DOJ indicted President Trump for speech violations. Trump was indicted for challenging the 2020 election. Now he will be forced to face an Obama-judge in court with a 95% Democrat DC jury to convict him on speech charges. The verdict is already written.

The media refuses to report the truth on this travesty of justice.

President Trump leads ALL candidates Republican and Democrat in the 2024 race. So they want to jail him.

On Sunday morning, John Lauro joined Shannon Bream on FOX News Sunday to discuss the Biden regime’s attempt to block any evidence from the American public.

For the record, Shannon Bream is defending the government’s right to silence and jail Americans for speech violations. What a disappointment.

John Lauro: This is the problem with bringing a political prosecution in a political season. President Trump was responding in a political way to some of his political opponents. And the Biden administration wants the judge to put in place an order that will prevent the press from obtaining exculpatory and material information that might be relevant to these proceedings. Even though Mr. Trump, president Trump, has argued from the very beginning, as I have, that this is an attack, this indictment is an attack on his First Amendment rights.

Now, what the Biden administration wants to do is deny all Americans the opportunity to learn non-sensitive information about what the case involves in a political season. We have to remember that President Biden back in April 2022, which he repeated in November 2022, was that he was going to take President Trump out of the election, even though President Trump is his most significant opponent. Now we see the Biden. Justice department acting on the Biden plan. So President Trump, in the middle of a political season, is certainly entitled to respond politically. But make no mistake about it, this is an effort to prevent President Trump from running for president.

Ukraine strikes bridges in Crimea with NATO-supplied missiles

Two bridges connecting the peninsula to Russia’s mainland were hit by Storm Shadow missiles, according to local authorities

Ukraine has launched a barrage of British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles at two bridges connecting the Crimean Peninsula to Russia’s Kherson Region, according to its acting governor, Vladimir Saldo.

Some 12 missiles were fired during Saturday's attack, with at least three making it through Russian anti-aircraft defenses, Saldo told Rossiya 24 TV channel. The strike damaged two bridges across the Strait of Chongar and the Tonkiy Strait, the official stated.

The Chongar bridge sustained at least one hit, according to the acting governor, who shared imagery of the aftermath of the attack on his Telegram channel. The missile left a large hole in the bridge deck paving, images show.

The attack damaged a rural school and ruptured a local gas pipeline, leaving the nearby town of Genichesk without supply, according to Saldo. Both bridges have hardly been used for military needs and are purely civilian infrastructure installations, he stressed.

While Saldo did not elaborate on the damage sustained by the second bridge, unverified footage circulating online suggests one of its sections has partially collapsed. The images show a gas pipeline running alongside the bridge, ruptured and aflame.

The bridges linking the northern part of the Crimean Peninsula and Kherson Region were targeted by Ukraine in another major attack back in June. At the time, the Chongar bridge sustained considerable damage and ended up shut down for several weeks during repairs.

Drone attack on Moscow thwarted – mayor

An unmanned aerial vehicle heading toward Moscow has been shot down by Russian air defenses, Mayor Sergey Sobyanin has said

Kiev has not openly claimed responsibility for the strikes, although Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky declared last Sunday that “war is returning to the territory of Russia.”

Moscow Airport Temporarily Halts Flights After Failed Drone Attack

Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin wrote on Telegram: "Today at around 11:00 a.m. a drone attempted to break through to Moscow. It was destroyed on the approach by air defenses. Well done military."

It is significant that Ukraine's long-range drone attacks have begun to halt or hinder air traffic over Moscow, even if briefly, and it comes after Ukraine's President Zelensky vowed "return the war" to Russian soil. The past week saw at least two attacks on Moscow City business district.

Mainstream Media Silent as Biden Purges 442 Reporters From White House

When Jim Acosta’s White House press pass was suspended in 2018, following an incident wherein he assaulted a female White House staffer, the mainstream media rallied with outrage. They uniformly defended Acosta’s right to harass and abuse a US president and hijack a press conference.

But the liberal mainstream press is giving cover to the Biden Administration yet again. They are virtually silent on the purge of 442 reporters who have lost hard passes after the White House changed requirements.

In May of 2023, The Gateway Pundit reported on the new rules.

In 2018, CNN sued to have Acosta’s pass restored under President Trump, but today they are silent.

Chief White House Correspondent for Today News Africa, Simon Ateba, shared the letter he received, threatening to pull his press pass, with details of the new rules.

Ateba posted the full letter on Twitter:

The Daily Signal reports that, over the past three months, “the number of reporters with access to the White House dropped by 31%. There are now 442 fewer reporters with a coveted ‘hard pass’—the result of new rules announced in May that took effect Tuesday.”

The White House announced new rules in May to limit the number of journalists who are eligible for a White House hard pass. Reporters are still allowed to apply for a day pass, but they must do so daily and undergo Secret Service review.

Up until this week, the White House didn’t disclose the number of reporters who had a hard pass. Politico reported, “Within the past three months, the number of hard pass holders dropped from 1,417 to 975, with those approved reflecting a mix of renewals and new applications.”

Christian reporter Dr. Harper did not make the cut. He was bullied by reporters in the past.

Maria Bartiromo: The DOJ Is Waiting for More Evidence of Things to Come Out on Joe Biden – Then They Will Give Georgia the Go Ahead to Release Another Indictment

Maria Bartiromo went on FOX and Friends Weekend to discuss her upcoming show this morning. Bartiromo announced her guests and then made a prediction on upcoming indictments against President Trump.

Maria Bartiromo: I will also tell you that all of the lawmakers I spoke with over the weekend, and many of them are on board they want an impeachment inquiry started. They believe that a Georgia indictment is coming in two weeks. So I assume the DOJ is waiting for more evidence of things to come out on Joe Biden and the Biden Family taking money in and then they will give Georgia the go ahead to release another indictment on President Trump.

From Covert To Overt: UK Govt & Businesses Unleash Facial Recognition Technologies Across Urban Landscape

The Home Office is encouraging police forces across the country to make use of live facial recognition technologies for routine law enforcement. Retailers are also embracing the technology to monitor their customers.

It increasingly seems that the UK decoupled from the European Union, its rules and regulations, only for its government to take the country in a progressively more authoritarian direction. This is, of course, a generalised trend among ostensibly “liberal democracies” just about everywhere, including EU Member States, as they increasingly adopt the trappings and tactics of more authoritarian regimes, such as restricting free speech, cancelling people and weakening the rule of law. But the UK is most definitely at the leading edge of this trend. A case in point is the Home Office’s naked enthusiasm for biometric surveillance and control technologies.

This week, for example, The Guardian revealed that the Minister for Policing Chris Philip and other senior figures of the Home Office had held a closed-door meeting with Simon Gordon, the founder of Facewatch, a leading facial recognition retail security company, in March. The main outcome of the meeting was that the government would lobby the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) on the benefits of using live facial recognition (LFR) technologies in retail settings. LFR involves hooking up facial recognition cameras to databases containing photos of people. Images from the cameras can then be screened against those photos to see if they match.

The lobbying effort was apparently successful. Just weeks after reaching out to the ICO, the ICO sent a letter to Facewatch affirming that the company “has a legitimate purpose for using people’s information for the detection and prevention of crime” and that its services broadly comply with UK Data Protection laws, which the Sunak government and UK intelligence agencies are trying to gut. As the Guardian report notes, “the UK’s data protection and information bill proposes to abolish the role of the government-appointed surveillance camera commissioner along with the requirement for a surveillance camera code of practice.”

The ICO’s approval gives legal cover to a practice that is already well established. Facewatch has been scanning the faces of British shoppers in thousands of retail stores across the UK for years. The cameras scan faces as people enter a store and screens them against a database of known offenders, alerting shop assistants if a “subject of interest” has entered. Shops using the technologies have placed notices in their windows (such as the one below) informing customers that facial recognition technologies are in operation, “to protect” the shop’s “employees, customers and stock.” But it is far from clear how many shoppers actually take notice of the notices.

Imran Khan Arrested, Given 3 Years In Prison, Banned From Pakistan Politics Ahead Of Elections

Former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan was sentenced to three years in jail on 5 August by a court in Islamabad on charges of illegally selling state gifts.

The popular opposition leader was promptly arrested from his home in Lahore after the court handed down the sentence. The court also disqualified him from politics for five years, banning his political activities.

Before being taken into custody, Khan released a video on social media saying his arrest was “expected” and calling on his supporters to protest peacefully.

“When you receive this message, I will be arrested, and I will be in prison,” said Khan. “I only have one request, one appeal for you. You must not sit quietly inside your homes. The struggle I am doing is not for my own self, it’s for my nation, for you. For the future of your children.”

“If you don’t stand up for your rights, you will live lives of slaves and slaves don’t have a life,” he added.

Khan also stressed that Saturday's verdict is “one more step in fulfilling [the] London Plan,” a term he uses to refer to an alleged plot between current army chief General Asim Munir and three-time former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who has been in self-exile in London since 2019.

Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), said following his arrest that an appeal has already been filed in Pakistan's Supreme Court over the district court order.

“The decision of the Kangaroo Court of [additional district and sessions judge Humayun Dilawar] was not yet received by anyone in the court, but the Lahore Police was already there to kidnap the PTI chairman. Chairman Imran Khan did not resist. Every process from the beginning of the case to the trial and from the trial to the abduction is illegal,” the party said in a post on its official social media account.

The 70-year-old cricketer-turned-politician stood accused of misusing his role as prime minister from 2018 to 2022 to buy and sell gifts in state possession that were received during visits abroad worth more than 140 million Pakistani rupees ($635,000).

The verdict includes a 100,000 rupees fine ($355).

Khan's arrest on Saturday marked the second time he has been detained this year.

His arrest in May was met with violent clashes between his supporters and police across the country, which left several dead and hundreds injured. Authorities also rounded up the leadership of the PTI and over 2,000 Khan supporters.

Khan’s arrest comes just three months before crucial elections in November, where many expected him to win the largest democratic mandate ever secured by any politician in the 75-year history of Pakistan.

The former premier was ousted last year in a US-backed parliamentary coup that saw Shehbaz Sharif – a protégé of the Sharif business dynasty that has governed Pakistan for much of the previous three decades – come to power.

Since his ousting, he has been arrested, charged with “terrorism,” banned from running for office, and even survived an assassination attempt.

Boston Mayor Must Produce Evidence on Communication About ‘Enemies List,’ Court Orders

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has been ordered by a judge to produce evidence of her controversial “enemies list,” including related emails, which a judge agreed to use in a case against a North End restaurateur who stands accused of shooting at a business rival.

Ms. Wu may be required to produce the evidence in court and testify under oath, the Boston Herald reported.

What has come into question is how the owner of Monica’s Trattoria, Patrick Mendoza, ended up on Ms. Wu’s list. According to Mr. Mendoza’s attorney, Rosemary Scapicchio, the key questions relate to who generated the list and why it was sent to the Boston Police Department.

“I’m trying to get the information because it could be exculpatory to my client,” Scapicchio told the Herald in an interview. “Who decided it was a threat and what was the threat.”

The ruling on Aug. 4 states that Ms. Wu’s administration will have to turn over all communications related to the list, potentially shedding new light on unanswered questions by Ms. Wu.

The embattled mayor has received a lot of backlash since it emerged that she had compiled a list of more than a dozen of her most ardent critics before passing it onto local authorities, comparing the list to President Richard Nixon’s “enemies list.”

According to Ricardo Patron, a spokesman for Ms. Wu, the list was created in response to a request by the Boston Police Department.

It reportedly followed months of threats against the Mayor, who allegedly suffered harassment and physical intimidation outside her home, as well as at public events and city functions, by protesters who opposed Ms. Wu’s COVID-19 vaccination mandates for city employees, the Herald reported.

It was subsequently noted that the administration acknowledged compiling the document after the discovery of the list, which was provided to Ms. Wu’s opponents through a public records request, fueling concerns by critics that Ms. Wu and her administration may be attempting to quash criticism of her or intimidate vocal opponents.

Many of Ms. Wu’s critics have previously engaged in protests outside the Mayor’s home.

House Committee Probes Biden Appointee Who Purchased Hunter Biden’s Art

The House Oversight Committee has asked an appointee to the U.S. Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad to furnish documents that will provide public transparency relating to her purchase of Hunter Biden artwork and her subsequent appointment to the Commission.

Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, a real estate investor and philanthropist from Los Angeles, has been given a deadline of Aug. 11 to comply with the Committee’s requests.

The documents, which were requested in a letter on July 29 (pdf), include records and communications related to her reported purchase of Hunter Biden’s art, as well as her appointment to the commission and visits to the White House.

“These facts raise the Committee’s concerns, and the Committee seeks documents and information regarding your purchase of Hunter Biden art,” wrote Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.).

“Your position on the Commission is particularly suspicious because of Hunter Biden’s previous actions to elevate his business partner—Eric Schwerin—to the same post while his father was Vice President,” he wrote.

Mr. Schwerin was appointed to the committee by former President Barack Obama in 2015. According to media reports, Mr. Hunter Biden told his cousin Missy Owens in an email found on his laptop that “Eric asked me for one of these the day after the election in 2008” when she was asking for a similar appointment for her mother, Valerie Biden Owens.

Ms. Hirsh Naftali was appointed to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad by President Joe Biden as an unpaid member in July of 2022.

Mr. Hunter Biden’s counsel, Abbe Lowell, told The Business Insider that there are industry standards in place to prevent her client from knowing the identity of the buyers of his art. However, in this case, Mr. Hunter Biden learned of Ms. Hirsh Naftali’s purchase after the sale because they are friends. It is not clear whether the artwork was purchased before or after her appointment to the commission.

However, the Oversight Committee said it was pursuing further transparency, noting that visitor logs showed multiple visits by Ms. Hirsh Naftali to the White House since December 2021, according to The Washington Free Beacon. Ms. Hirsh Naftali reportedly also met with White House senior advisor Neera Tanden.

Ms. Hirsh Naftali is a Democratic donor, having donated over $13,000 to Mr. Joe Biden’s reelection campaign as well as a subsequent sum of nearly $30,000 to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) this year, The Business Insider reported.

She also reportedly co-hosted a fundraiser with Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, according to Deadline.

Hunter Biden reportedly raked in well over $1 million through sales of his artwork, according to documents published by The Business Insider. Eleven such pieces were reportedly bought by an unnamed buyer for nearly $900,000.

Abbe Lowell, Hunter Biden’s lawyer, Ms. Hirsh Naftali, and the White House have not responded to a request for comment from NTD.

Customers Report Missing Deposits From Wells Fargo Bank Accounts

Wells Fargo is dealing with a technical issue that has resulted in customers reporting that their direct deposits had disappeared from their bank accounts.

On Thursday, a torrent of customers contacted Wells Fargo via Twitter, now officially branded as ‘X,’ claiming they could not access money that they deposited into the bank. One person tweeted that he had been hit with an overdraft fee after money went missing from his account.

It was unclear how widespread the problem was Thursday night, but as of Friday, customer complaints about the issue were still being posted on social media, and the bank continued to respond that it was working on a fix.

“A limited number of customers were unable to see recent deposit transactions on their accounts. The vast majority have been resolved and the few remaining issues will be resolved soon. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience,” a Wells Fargo spokesperson told CNN on Friday.

Wells Fargo has yet to say exactly when it expects to resolve the issue.

This isn’t the first time Wells Fargo customers have faced this particular technical glitch. In March, Wells Fargo confirmed that some customers’ direct deposits were not showing up but that their accounts “continue to be secure,” according to an NBC News report.

The bank has also been plagued by scandal in recent years. The company settled with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in December, agreeing to pay customers $2 billion and a record $1.7 billion fine for “widespread mismanagement” over multiple years that harmed over 16 million consumer accounts.

Wells Fargo’s fake-accounts scandal created a national firestorm in 2016. In 2020, it settled with the SEC for $3 billion over the fake accounts.

Since then, the bank has also admitted to several other scandals, including in its auto loan business and mortgage businesses. The bank wrongfully repossessed some borrowers’ vehicles, improperly charged fees and interest and failed to refund certain fees, regulators say. Wells Fargo also improperly denied thousands of mortgage loan modifications, causing some customers to lose their homes in “wrongful foreclosures,” according to US regulators.

Russia launches missile, drone barrage against Ukraine as promised after suffering tanker strike

Russia made good on its threat to retaliate against Ukraine for bombing a Kremlin tanker, unleashing a massive and deadly missile and drone strike Sunday.

Ukrainian military officials confirmed that waves of 70 Russian drones and missiles were launched over the Caspian Sea to lay waste to cities in western Ukraine.

The overnight blitz and counterattack killed at least six people.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the Russian strike, noting one of the bombs hit a blood transfusion center in Kupyan in the Kharkiv region.

“This war crime alone says everything about Russian aggression,” Zelenskyy said. “Defeating terrorists is a matter of honor for everyone who values life.”

Kyiv officials said the shelling in the Kharkiv region killed two people, including a 58-year-old woman, and left four others injured while also igniting a forest fire.

Two people were reported dead in the Donetsk region, according to local governor Pavlo Kyrylenko.

Officials added that at least three rounds of bombings also hit the Starokostiantyniv area and an aircraft engine manufacturing building in Zaporizhzhia.

Kyiv said it shot down 26 of the drones that were deployed.

Ian Watkins, former Lostprophets singer and convicted pedophile, stabbed in prison: report

A pedophile Welsh rock singer who confessed to sexual offenses against young children and babies is fighting for his life after he was stabbed and held hostage by fellow inmates inside one of the harshest prisons in the UK, according to a report.

Ian Watkins, 46, the former lead singer of the now-disbanded band Lostprophets, was found stabbed in his jail cell inside His Majesty’s Prison Wakefield by the prison’s guards and rushed to a hospital in a “life-threatening condition.”

“There are fears he could die. If he survives, he’ll have been very lucky.” sources told the Mirror.

Three inmates took Watkins, 46, hostage around 9 a.m. on Saturday where he was stabbed multiple times and beaten up before prison personnel “freed” him six hours later, the outlet reported.

Watkins founded Lostprophets in 1997 until the band disbanded in 2013 when he was sentenced to jail.

Watkins was 10 years into his 29-year prison sentence for several child sex offenses, including attempted rape and sexual assault of a child under the age of 13, and possession of child pornography.

Watkins’s sexual assaults date back to at least March 2007, when he videoed himself having “oral, vaginal and anal sex” with a 16-year-old female, according to court documents.

A year later, Watkins and a different 16-year-old female — who was his fan — had oral sex as she snorted a white powder believed to be cocaine, the documents read.

Watkins’s ex-girlfriend Joanne Mjadzelics alerted police that the singer had told her he had given a child cocaine and touched the victim inappropriately, the Guardian reported in 2017.

Devon Archer’s Wife Holds 10% Stake in Same Chinese-State-Backed Fund as Hunter Biden’s Lawyer

Devon Archer’s wife, Krista Archer, holds a ten percent stake in a Chinese-state-backed investment fund, BHR Partners, the same fund in which Hunter Biden’s lawyer controls a ten percent stake, according to legal documents unearthed by nonprofit Marco Polo and exclusively obtained by Breitbart News.

Krista Archer’s stake in BHR Partners is notable because Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s best friend in business and who co-founded BHR Partners in 2013 with the president’s son, testified on Monday before Congress regarding BHR Partners, a fund in which the Archer family has an ongoing interest.

The documents raise questions about if Devon Archer divulged his family’s stake in BHR Partners to investigators. Such information could be relevant to the congressional probe into the Biden family.

A source with knowledge of the documents confirmed their authenticity to Breitbart News in April. Now that Devon Archer has resurfaced in the news, the documents are newly relevant.

Devon and Krista Archer did not reply to a request for comment when asked about Mrs. Archer’s ownership stake in BHR Partners through Ulysses Diversified, Inc.

On Monday, Devon Archer told investigators during his testimony that Hunter Biden put then-Vice President Joe Biden on speakerphone more than 20 times with business associates to sell “the brand.” One of those phone calls included a dinner in China with Jonathan Li, the third co-founder of BHR Partners. The official transcript of Devon Archer’s testimony does not appear to include any reference to his wife’s share in the Chinese-state-backed fund.

It is unknown why Devon Archer’s wife would hold a ten percent stake in BHR Partners.

Krista Archer is a medical doctor and mother of three children. She practices medicine in New York City at Northwell Health/Lenox Hill Hospital, where she specializes in podiatry. She is associated with the American Board of Multiple Specialties in Podiatry. She also sports her own foot care retail line called the Arch. She has made a number of appearances on network television:

According to a document titled “Equity Transfer Agreement,” Krista Archer acquired a ten percent stake in BHR Partners on March 18, 2017, from Devon Archer through Ulysses Diversified, Inc.

The document is signed by Krista Archer, Devon Archer, and Eric Schwerin, “President” of Skaneateles, LLC, an entity that also acquired a ten percent stake in BHR Partners. The equity agreement is written in both Mandarin and English.

Russia Accuses Ukraine of Using Biden-Supplied Cluster Bombs on Civilian Targets in Donetsk

Russian officials have claimed that Ukraine has shelled civilian areas of the contested Donetsk region with cluster bombs supplied to the country by the Biden administration.

According to Russian-installed Donetsk Mayor Alexei Kulemzin, Ukrainian forces used deeply controversial cluster bombs in an assault on Friday evening that saw university buildings set ablaze.

“As a result of another shelling of Donetsk, the first building of the University of Economics and Trade is on fire,” Kulemzin said on his Telegram channel. “According to preliminary information, the Ukronazis used cluster munitions.”

The Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) — the breakaway region of Eastern Ukraine that has since been annexed by Russia — claimed per Russian state media RT that four rounds of 155mm cluster bombs were fired into the city centre on Saturday evening, sparking fires in three separate districts. The cluster munitions reportedly exploded in the air.

At the time of this reporting, Ukraine has not confirmed nor denied involvement in the attack on Donetsk. Ukraine has claimed that during the same evening, Russian hit a blood transfusion centre in the Kharkiv region. President Zelensky described the attack as a “war crime” that “says everything about Russian aggression”.

Ukraine, which was provided with stocks of cluster munitions from the Joe Biden administration last month, has stated that it only intended to use the weapons against heavily entrenched Russian military positions along the front.

SPEECH POLICE? Australian parliament calls on intelligence agencies to tackle online “misinformation” that they claim endangers the country’s “national security”

Australian intelligence agencies are being told by the country's parliament to counter so-called "misinformation" online that potentially endangers national security.

Joint Parliamentary Committee for Intelligence and Security Chairman Peter Khalil of the left-wing Labor Party made a "recommendation" to Australia's six main intelligence bodies to consider taking advantage of other opportunities to come out against so-called misinformation and propaganda online.

These six main intelligence agencies make up what is known as the Australian Intelligence Community (AIC), and are led by the Australian Security Intelligence Organization, the country's main national security intelligence organization.

"The committee sees an opportunity for Australia's intelligence agencies to take an increasing role in sharing information with the Australian public – where appropriate – on matters relating to misinformation, disinformation and harmful propaganda," stated Khalil as he reported the committee's recommendations during a parliamentary session.-

According to the Intelligence and Security Joint Committee, an annual review of the AIC found a spike in so-called misinformation over 2020 and 2021, which is what warranted the committee's current recommendation.

Australian parliament says COVID-19 claims responsible for rise in "misinformation"

Khalil blamed the rise in misinformation with the period in Australia when the country's Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic lockdowns began and the security environment in Australia began rapidly fluctuating to be broadly in favor of more government control over Australian social life.

"The committee received evidence of how misinformation and disinformation both COVID related and then, more broadly, contributed to the rapid change in the security environment during 2020 and 2021," he said, claiming that the wave of so-called misinformation during the early days of the pandemic significantly amplified the country's security concerns and thus necessitate the AIC's robust redressal.

Despite calling for the AIC to come out more against online misinformation, the joint committee claimed that amidst the changing strategic environment and the significant impact of COVID-19 on Australia, the AIC "largely worked in an effective and increasingly collaborative manner."

"The Committee found that, on the whole, agencies performed their roles well, particularly considering the challenging operational environment faced over the reporting period," said Khalil.

The "suggestion" by the parliament to the AIC on tackling online misinformation will be received very controversially by free speech advocates in Australia and abroad who caution about government overreach.

This recommendation is also just one of four other suggestions put forward by the Intelligence and Security Joint Committee in its latest annual review of the AIC.

New COVID variant 'Eris' infects Israelis

The strain was found in 36 countries. Eighteen Israelis have been infected so far.

A novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) variant known as EG.5.1 is spreading around the world, health experts have said.

As of July 24, 2,442 sequences of EG.5.1 had been detected in 36 countries around the world, including at least 18 cases in Israel, according to data from Outbreak.info, a site that aggregates data about SARS-CoV-2.

The strain has become more prevalent in the UK as COVID-19 hospitalizations continue to rise, British health officials said on Thursday. On social media, virologists have nicknamed the variant “Eris.”

According to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), monitoring of the EG.5.1 variant began in early July due to increasing reports of the variant internationally, especially in Asia. The variant was first detected in March.

An update from the UKHSA on Wednesday showed that cases of the EG.5.1 and XBB.1.16 (also known as Arcturus) variants were rising.

In the week beginning July 10, 11.8% of genetically sequenced cases of the novel coronavirus were found to be EG.5.1. As of July 20, that percentage had increased to 14.55% of all cases.

A relative of the variant, EG.5, was marked as a variant for monitoring by the World Health Organization in July. According to the WHO, that variant was first detected in February.

According to Meaghan Kall, an epidemiologist at the UKHSA, EG.5.1 accounts for 20% of sequenced cases in Asia, 10% of sequenced cases in Europe and 7% of sequenced cases in North America. Kall noted that past variants with similar growth advantage rates have not sparked new waves of infections.

The rise in EG.5.1 cases comes as the UK reports an increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations as well.

“We continue to see a rise in COVID-19 cases in this week’s report. We have also seen a small rise in hospital admission rates in most age groups, particularly among the elderly,” said Dr. Mary Ramsay, head of Immunization at the UKHSA. “Overall levels of admission still remain extremely low and we are not currently seeing a similar increase in ICU admissions. We will continue to monitor these rates closely.”

“The NHS will be in contact in autumn 2023 when the seasonal vaccine is available for those who are eligible due to health conditions or age, and we urge everyone who is offered to take up the vaccine when offered.”

Donald Trump Says He Cannot Get a Fair Trial in Washington, DC

Former President Donald Trump took to social media on Sunday to declare he believes he has no prospect of receiving a fair trial in Washington, DC.

The trial in question relates to matters in connection to the January 6 Capitol riot. Trump used his own Truth Social network to post his thoughts:

“If prosecutors insist on proceeding with this politicized case, they should move the venue to West Virginia,” he added. “West Virginians believe in upholding the rule of law and don’t support a double-standard of justice.”

During an interview with PBS aired on Thursday’s broadcast of “PBS NewsHour,” former Attorney General Bill Barr also shared his belief D.C. might not be a fair jurisdiction for 2024 Republican presidential candidate to stand trial on the charges over January 6 and the Department of Justice should consider moving the venue like they did in the documents case, as Breitbart News reported.

This latest case is one of three indictments brought against Trump in recent months, and the second from Special Prosecutor Jack Smith.

Attorney General Merrick Garland’s DOJ is pursuing the case of Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents in the Southern District of Florida while Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office is prosecuting Trump at the state level in New York on allegations of business fraud.

Trump has expressed similar concerns regarding receiving a fair trial in New York, and a YouGov poll showed 40 percent of Americans think he “cannot get a fair trial in New York.”
