FBI Makes Shocking Arrest Five Years After January 6th Riots
Stay tuned for our live coverage of US politics.
On Thursday, US time, Donald Trump is hosting the leaders of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The two nations, historically at odds, are set to sign a peace deal, showcasing Trump's commitment to fostering international harmony. However, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine casts a shadow over this achievement, as Russian President Vladimir Putin insists that Kyiv must cede territory for peace to be achieved.
In unrelated news, the FBI made a significant arrest on Thursday, addressing a case that has lingered for nearly five years. Two pipe bombs were discovered outside prominent buildings associated with both the Democratic and Republican parties, just a day before the January 6, 2021, riot that shook the Capitol Building.
Additionally, the US is considering a potential shift in vaccine recommendations. There are talks of reversing the guidance for newborns to receive the hepatitis B jab, a decision that could impact the health of children who contract the virus. Since the introduction of the hepatitis B vaccine, there has been a remarkable 99% reduction in cases among young people. However, this proposal has sparked debate, as US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is known for his vaccine skepticism, and his advisory panel includes individuals with similar views.
In other news, the New York Times has taken legal action against the Pentagon, citing restrictions on press access to briefings. The majority of mainstream media outlets, including the Times and Fox News, initially refused to adhere to the new reporting guidelines imposed by the Pentagon, which they deemed restrictive. As a result, they were denied access to the US defense headquarters. The first press briefing since this decision was held earlier this week, and it was notable for its absence of mainstream media outlets and the presence of right-wing personalities.
