Geoff Bennett: Bondi, Former AG, accused Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden of mishandling classified data. However, the Justice Department investigations neither led to criminal charges against them.
In related news, a federal judge mandated the Trump administration to keep all Signal messages discussing Yemen attack strategies.
The legal team of Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts University international student in ICE custody, argued for her release. The 30-year-old was apprehended near her Boston home by federal immigration agents and moved to an ICE detention center in Louisiana.
The Department of Homeland Security detained Ozturk alleging support for Hamas but provided no proof. Friends say her sole activism was co-writing an op-ed urging Tufts to divest from Israel.
Moving to the Ukraine conflict, the E.U. and NATO joined representatives from almost 30 countries in a ‘coalition of the willing’ in Paris. Many pledged firmness on Russian sanctions and increased aid to Ukraine, including a $2 billion defense package from France.
However, deploying European troops inside Ukraine to discourage Moscow lacked consensus. In absence of agreement, France and the U.K. indicated readiness to act independently.
