FBI Arrests Gov. Hochul's Fmr Top Aide; Chinese Campaign Targets U.S. Voters; Netanyahu Pushes Back

The FBI on Tuesday arrested Lily Sun, former deputy chief of staff to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, at her Long Island home. 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 instead mocks politicians and pushes divisive messages ahead of the November election.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pushed back against growing pressure to reach a ceasefire deal in Gaza. In his first public remarks since mass protests broke out, Netanyahu said, “No one will preach to me on this issue.”
