“According to reports, members of your staff were embedded with Hamas, knew about the attack, and not only went along with it but accompanied members of Hamas as they carried out the attack,” he wrote.
“If your employees, as part of their work, participated in terrorist activities or if your organization or employees provided material support (including any funding) to Hamas, the leadership of your organization may also face criminal penalties under federal law,” the Arkansas Republican added.
Cotton also penned a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, calling on the U.S. Justice Department to investigate the media companies.

US and Israeli Polticians Amplify Bogus Claims of Media Complicity in Hamas Attack
Mother Jones
(Polticians misspelled as in article Pol/ticians no i)
All available evidence suggests that Palestinian reporters, who live in the geographically tiny Gaza strip, rushed to the scene of major news event, “doing what photojournalists always do during major news events,” as the Times said.
It is not true that the journalists “almost certainly” had advance knowledge of the attack. Cotton’s claim that the journalists were “embedded” is also unsubstantiated. One Palestinian journalist, Hassan Eslaiah—with whom the AP and CNN have cut ties—was spotted in a video from October 7 riding on a motorcycle with another person. One of them, it it unclear which, was holding a grenade. If the person is a Hamas militant, riding with him might be considered a breach of journalistic ethics, but it doesn’t prove any of the claims.

Aircraft conducting training operations suffered ‘mishap and went down’ late Friday, says US European Command
US military aircraft crashes in eastern Mediterranean
ISTANBUL
A US military aircraft crashed in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, the US European Command, or USEUCOM, said Saturday.
USEUCOM said the aircraft carrying out training activities in the Eastern Mediterranean suffered “a mishap and went down” late Friday.
“Out of respect for the families affected, we will not release further information on the personnel involved at this time,” it said.
USEUCOM said the crash was under investigation but “there are no indications of hostile activity.”
Following the start of Israel's intense attacks against the Gaza Strip, the US Army made intensive deployments to the Mediterranean, including two aircraft carriers, and began exercises in the region while carrying ammunition to Israel with an air bridge it created.
