BIDEN'S SECRET SERVICE DETAIL

EMBROILED IN BRIBERY SCHEME

The Secret Service Agents Assigned to Protect President Biden
and Vice President Harris Involved in a Bizarre Bribery and Infiltration Scheme

Operated by two individuals posing as phony federal agents, a bribery and infiltration scheme compromised at least four Secret Service agents. The two conspirators, Arian Taherzadeh and Haider Ali, are linked to Pakistan's InterServices Intelligence spy agency and his passport shows recent travel to Iran and Pakistan.

Of the Secret Service agents compromised, one was assigned to First Lady Jill Biden's security detail. Normally, the agents rotate assignments over time, and it is currently unclear whom the agents were assigned to protect when the FBI performed a raid to arrest Taherzadeh and Ali.

Both allegedly gained access codes to all unites within the  DC’s Navy Yard nd claimed to be able to surveil residents’ cellphones. This would include members of Congress who have residents in the area.

EUROPEAN UNION IMPOSES
SANCTIONS ON PUTIN'S DAUGHTERS

The EU has Imposed Sanctions on Two Adult Daughters of President Putin
as Part or New Measures Targeting Russia for the its Invasion of Ukraine.
Sanctions on Russia's Energy Industry to Come.

The EU included Maria Vorontsova and Katerina Tikhonova in its updated list of individuals facing an assets freeze and travel ban. The two EU officials from different EU member countries spoke on condition of anonymity to the Associated Press because the updated list of sanctions has not been published yet.

The move from the European bloc follows a similar move two days earlier by the United States. In the wake of evidence of torture and killings emerging from war zones outside Kyiv, the EU decided to impose a fifth package of measures in retaliation for Russia’s war.

In addition to sanctions on individuals, the 27-nation bloc also approved an embargo on coal imports. That will be the first EU sanctions targeting Russia’s lucrative energy industry over its war in Ukraine and is estimated to be worth 4 billion euros ($4.4 billion) per year, the EU presidency said. The EU has already started working on additional sanctions, including on oil imports.
