Attorney General Directs Russia 2016 Election Interference Investigation

Attorney General Pam Bondi has initiated a grand jury investigation into allegations that members of the Obama administration fabricated intelligence about Russia’s interference in the 2016 election to smear then-candidate Donald Trump. The investigation could lead to subpoenas and potential indictments if the Justice Department pursues a criminal case. Meanwhile, in Namibia, a new project aims to empower civil society and the media to influence public policy discourse through training programs and innovative advocacy tools, focusing on issues like the Access to Information bill. Additionally, political commentators Brigitte Morten, a National Party member and former advisor, and Sue Moroney, a former Labour MP, have discussed key political topics including reforms to New Zealand's education system (NCEA), the National Party Conference, and health and safety regulation changes. The conversation reflects ongoing debates within New Zealand politics and highlights bipartisan perspectives on current policy issues.
