Trial begins for suspects in Moscow concert hall shooting rampage that left 149 dead, over 600 wounded

A trial began Monday under tight security for 19 defendants accused of involvement in last year's shooting rampage in a Moscow concert hall that killed 149 people and wounded over 600 in one of the deadliest attacks in the capital in years. A faction of the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the March 22, 2024, massacre at the Crocus City Hall concert venue in which four gunmen shot people who were waiting for a show by a popular rock band and then set the building on fire. President Vladimir Putin and other Russian officials have claimed, without presenting evidence, that Ukraine had a role in the attack.

The Investigative Committee, Russia's top criminal investigation agency, said in June that it concluded that the attack had been 'planned and carried out in the interests of the current leadership of Ukraine in order to destabilize the political situation in our country.'

The four, all identified as citizens of Tajikistan, were arrested hours after the attack and later appeared in a Moscow court with signs of being severely beaten. 4 Emergency services vehicles are seen outside the burning Crocus City Hall concert hall following the shooting incident in Krasnogorsk, outside Moscow, on March 22, 2024.

Nunes defamation lawsuit over Rachel Maddow comment dismissed

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by former Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif) against MSNBC personality Rachel Maddow nearly five years ago. U.S. District Judge Kevin Castel ruled this week that Nunes failed to prove Maddow and her team at the network acted with actual malice during a discussion about a package Nunes received addressed to him from Andrii Derkach, a Ukrainian legislator with ties to Russian officials and intelligence services, while he was the ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. 'The Court concludes that no reasonable jury could find that NBCU made the statement with constitutionally-defined actual malice,' Castel wrote. MSNBC is owned by NBC Universal as part of the Comcast corporate umbrella. Nunes, a longtime ally of President Trump, sued Maddow in 2021 alleging she and the network 'harbor an institutional hostility, hatred, extreme bias, spite and ill-will' toward the Republican. The suit specifically took issue with statements made by Maddow during her show on March 18 of that year, during which she suggested that Nunes refused to turn over a package he had reportedly received from the suspected Russian agent to the FBI. Castel in 2022 ruled Nunes' case could proceed, writing his attorneys had 'plausibly allege[d] actual malice' but did not make a determination about the merits of the former congressman's claim against the network. Maddow has for years attacked Trump, who has blasted Comcast over NBC News coverage of his administration and suggested critics such as Maddow be taken off the air.
