U.N. Expert Francesca Albanese Slams U.S. "Complicity" as Trump Meets Netanyahu Despite ICC Warrant

We speak to Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory, about Israel’s continued impunity from international law. Despite an International Criminal Court warrant out for his arrest, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently visited the White House to meet with President Donald Trump. While the United States is not a member state to the ICC, “It doesn’t mean that they have to extend protection to a fugitive from international law,” says Albanese, who joins widespread international calls for Netanyahu’s arrest. “The United States is actively contributing to make the international criminal law architecture that it has been building, from the Nuremberg trials up until now, crumble on our head.” Albanese also comments on settler- and soldier-led “pogroms” in the occupied West Bank and calls out the complicity of the governments of Greece, Italy and France, which, despite being party to the ICC, authorized Netanyahu’s travel through their airspaces. “It looks small in the context of a genocide, but every action matters, as every crime matters and will be accounted for,” she says.

Trump slights 'clearly terrified' Supreme Court justice in wild Truth Social post

President Donald Trump appeared to endorse a theory that Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett – whom he nominated in 2020 – is "clearly terrified of the left," sharing a prominent right-wing figure's post about her voting record on social media Wednesday.Conservative podcaster Tim Pool wrote that "Amy Coney Barrett is clearly terrified of the left" in response to a viral post on X highlighting her voting record and a supposed drop-off in her alignment with the bench's other conservative justices. Trump shared Pool’s post on his social media platform Truth Social without additional commentary.The apparent slight represents the latest example of Trump’s growing hostility toward the Supreme Court, including toward justices he nominated. While the Supreme Court has handed Trump an unprecedented amount of judicial victories, it's also handed down several notable defeats to his agenda, rejecting his bid to appeal a civil defamation case and ruling against most of his so-called reciprocal tariffs.The viral post Pool was responding to was authored by an anonymous right-wing account known as 'Roscoe Smith IV,' which claimed that Barrett’s rate of voting with the “conservative position” in “non-unanimous cases” fell from 81% “into the 50-60% range” following the court’s decision on Dobbs v. Jackson.The claim, however, was found inaccurate by X’s automatic fact-checking service known as “community notes,” which flagged publicly available data suggesting Barrett has voted alongside conservative justices at rates higher than the viral post suggested.

Trump crippled GOP's Fauci hearing with 'baseless' voiding of Biden pardons: lawyer

President Donald Trump's campaign to invalidate former President Joe Biden's pardons gave Anthony Fauci the ammunition to stonewall Senate Republicans at a Wednesday hearing, according to a pro-Trump former prosecutor.Bill Shipley, who represented dozens of Jan. 6 defendants, made the case on X.Fauci, 85, the former top government health official, had been forced by Republicans to appear before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which subpoenaed him over the pandemic response and COVID-19's origins, Politico reported.He repeatedly asserted his Fifth Amendment right and did not answer a single question.As the hearing continued, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), the committee chairman, made his frustration clear."It's against the law to obstruct an investigation of Congress," Paul warned Fauci. "There will be repercussions for your refusal to testify."After Paul's threat, Fauci's attorney David Schertler tried to interject. But Paul had Capitol Police remove him from the hearing room, Politico noted.Schertler released a statement shortly after his removal."It was outrageous for Sen. Paul to exclude his counsel for counsel making a legitimate legal point," Schertler said. "It proves the baseless and vindictive nature of this proceeding and Rand Paul's personal vendetta against Dr. Fauci."Shipley argued that Trump's quest to void Biden's pardons had undermined the efforts of Senate Republicans."The threats to challenge his pardon — legally baseless IMO — give him cover to assert the Fifth since he can claim there is a potential that he might lose the benefit of the pardon and his testimony might then incriminate him," Shipley wrote on X.In December 2025, President Donald Trump declared on Truth Social that all documents signed by Biden's autopen — a machine that replicates a signature — were "null, void, and of no further force or effect," explicitly including pardons.In March 2025, Trump had already targeted pardon recipients directly. "Anyone receiving 'Pardons,' 'Commutations,' or any other Legal Document so signed, please be advised that said Document has been fully and completely terminated, and is of no Legal effect," Trump wrote.Republicans have argued that the Biden pardon actually stripped Fauci of the right to remain silent — because a pardon eliminates the threat of prosecution that the Fifth Amendment is designed to guard against, Politico reported. Fauci could, however, be prosecuted for any crimes he was accused of after the pardon was issued.Shipley argued Congress could fix the problem by writing Fauci a formal grant of immunity — a legal guarantee that his testimony cannot be used against him — using the exact language of Biden's pardon. If Fauci then refused to testify, he would face contempt charges, Shipley said.Fauci said in his opening statement he was convinced that Paul's goal was to entrap him, citing Paul's "obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution," Politico reported.
