Bondi moves forward on Justice Department investigation into origins of Trump-Russia probe

Toronto Star11 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed that the Justice Department move forward with a probe into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation following the recent release of documents aimed at undermining the legitimacy of the inquiry that established that Moscow interfered on the Republican's behalf in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Bondi has directed a prosecutor to present evidence to a grand jury after referrals from the Trump administration's top intelligence official, a person familiar with the matter said Monday. That person was not authorized to discuss it by name and spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press. Fox News first reported the development.

Pakistanis hold anti-India rallies to mark 6th anniversary of revocation of Kashmir's special status

MUZAFFARABAD, Pakistan (AP) — Chanting anti-India slogans, hundreds of people rallied Tuesday in Pakistan-administered Kashmir to mark the sixth anniversary of India's revocation of the disputed region's semi-autonomous status. The rallies came nearly three months after Pakistan and India exchanged military strikes over a mass shooting in the Indian-controlled part of Kashmir, which New Delhi blamed on Islamabad, a charge Pakistan denied. The confrontation raised fears of a potential nuclear conflict before global powers defused the crisis.

Pakistanis hold anti-India rallies to mark 6th anniversary of revocation of Kashmir's special status

MUZAFFARABAD, Pakistan (AP) — Chanting anti-India slogans, hundreds of people rallied Tuesday in Pakistan-administered Kashmir to mark the sixth anniversary of India's revocation of the disputed region's semi-autonomous status. The rallies came nearly three months after Pakistan and India exchanged military strikes over a mass shooting in the Indian-controlled part of Kashmir, which New Delhi blamed on Islamabad, a charge Pakistan denied. The confrontation raised fears of a potential nuclear conflict before global powers defused the crisis. The protesters denounced the August 5, 2019, revocation of Kashmir's special status by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and demanded the restoration of statehood for the Himalayan region, which has been split between India and Pakistan and claimed by both in its entirety. The region has sparked two wars between the nuclear-armed neighbors since 1947, when the nations gained independence from Britain. The main protest Tuesday in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistan-administered Kashmir, drew hundreds of members of civil society and political parties. Mazhar Saeed Shah, a leader of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference — an alliance of pro-freedom Kashmiri political and religious groups — at the rally urged the international community to help ensure Kashmiris are granted the right to self-determination, as called for in U.N. resolutions decades ago. Similar anti-India demonstrations were held in Islamabad, where Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar reaffirmed Pakistan's moral and diplomatic support for Kashmiris seeking what he called 'freedom from India's illegal occupation.' Meanwhile in Srinagar in Indian-controlled Kashmir, supporters of India's opposition Congress party rallied to demand that the government restore the statehood of the disputed region.
