FBI Arrests Gov. Hochul's Fmr Top Aide; Chinese Campaign Targets U.S. Voters; Netanyahu Pushes Back
Description
The FBI arrested Linda Sun, the former deputy chief of staff to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, at her Long Island home on Tuesday. She is scheduled to be arraigned in a federal court in Brooklyn, while her charges remain sealed.
According to new research by intelligence company Graphika, a Chinese social media influence operation is allegedly impersonating U.S. voters. The campaign doesn't appear to favor either political side, but is instead mocking politicians and pushing divisive messages ahead of the November election.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing back against growing pressure to reach a cease-fire deal in Gaza. In his first public remarks since mass protests broke out in Israel, Netanyahu said, "No one will preach to me on this issue."
