‘No longer bound': Russia abandons nuclear treaty with US amid Trump's submarine move
Russia has said that it would no longer abide by a nuclear arms treaty and renew the deployment of short and intermediate range nuclear missiles amid tensions with the United States, as President Donald Trump earlier ordered two nuclear submarines to 'be positioned in the appropriate regions'. Russia's former President Dmitry Medvedev on Monday accused NATO countries for the abandonment of the moratorium on the nuclear treaty and said that the Kremlin would take further steps in response. Moscow said it no longer considers itself bound by its self-imposed freeze on the deployment of the missiles. The Russian Foreign Ministry in a statement said that Moscow 'no longer considers itself bound' by its 'previously adopted self restrictions' under the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, while highlighting that the US has already moved to deploy intermediate-range missiles in Europe and Asia. The Russian Foreign Ministry's statement on the withdrawal of the moratorium on the deployment of medium- and short-range missiles is the result of NATO countries' anti-Russian policy. This is a new reality all our opponents will have to reckon with. Expect further steps. — Dmitry Medvedev (@MedvedevRussiaE) August 4, 2025 In a post on X, Medvedev, who is Russia's Deputy Chair of the Security Council said 'This is a new reality all our opponents will have to reckon with. Expect further steps.' The development comes after the US president earlier said he was repositioning two US nuclear submarines in response to nuclear threats from Medvedev. Trump said he acted 'just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that. Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances'. The nuclear treaty, also known as the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF), was signed between the United States and the then USSR during the Cold War era. The treaty was signed in 1987 by US President Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, the last Soviet leader. The treaty led to the elimination of an entire class of weapons, ground-launched missiles with a range of 500 to 5,500 kilometres. More than 2,600 Soviet and US missiles were eliminated as part of the treaty, New York Times reported. However, President Trump withdrew from the Cold War era treaty accusing Russia of several violations. Moscow, at the time in 2019, had said it would not deploy missiles as long as Washington did not do so.

Russiagate 'hoax': Attorney General Pam Bondi orders grand jury probe of Obama officials- Report
United States attorney general Pam Bondi directed her staff on Monday to proceed with the criminal referral from director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard concerning the alleged Russia-Trump conspiracy, Fox News Digital reported adding that the department of Justice is initiating a grand jury investigation into this matter. According to a letter reviewed by Fox News Digital and information from a source close to the investigation, Bondi has authorised an unnamed federal prosecutor to begin legal proceedings. The prosecutor will present evidence to a grand jury, potentially leading to an indictment. while declining to comment specifically on the investigation, a DOJ spokesperson confirmed that Bondi is treating Gabbard's referral with utmost importance. The spokesperson indicated that Bondi identified significant reasons for concern and the necessity for further action. The DOJ acknowledged receiving Gabbard's criminal referral two weeks prior. The referral included documentation regarding the Intelligence Community's alleged suppression of evidence showing that Russian and criminal activities did not affect the 2016 presidential election through cyber-attacks. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo No charges have been filed at this point against any potential defendants. This development follows Gabbard's July declassification of intelligence, which provided fresh perspectives on the Obama administration's alleged assessment that Russia aimed to assist Trump in the 2016 election. According to Gabbard's press briefing, the Obama administration allegedly promoted an artificial narrative about Russian interference favouring Trump's victory. The declassified materials included records of Obama requesting his deputies to prepare a December 2016 intelligence assessment regarding Moscow's electoral influence methods. The assessment concluded that whilst Russian actions aimed to create distrust in democratic processes, they did not affect the election outcome. Gabbard has suggested that Obama and his national security officials established the foundation for allegations of Trump-Russia collusion. The scope and potential charges of the grand jury investigation remain uncertain, particularly given that statutes of limitations have expired for many activities from nearly ten years ago. Former Obama intelligence officials, including John Brennan, James Clapper and James Comey, have faced scrutiny regarding their alleged roles in developing intelligence that challenged Trump's 2016 victory.

AG Bondi orders grand jury probe into Obama officials over Russia investigation
Washington, Aug 5 (UNI) Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed federal prosecutors to launch a grand jury investigation into accusations that members of the Obama administration manufactured intelligence about Russia's 2016 election interference, a source familiar with the matter told CNN. A grand jury would be able to issue subpoenas as part of a criminal investigation into renewed allegations that Democratic officials tried to smear Donald Trump during his 2016 campaign by falsely alleging his campaign was colluding with the Russian government. It could also consider an indictment should the Justice Department decide to pursue a criminal case. The move follows a referral from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who declassified documents in July that allegedly undermine the Obama administration's conclusion that Russia tried to help Trump defeat his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton. This development happens after Gabbard requested that the Justice Department investigate former President Barack Obama and top officials in his administration for an alleged conspiracy. Soon after Gabbard's referral, Bondi announced that the DOJ was creating a 'strike force' to assess the evidence released by Gabbard and 'investigate potential next legal steps which might stem from DNI Gabbard's disclosures'.
