Israel-Gaza live updates: Israel’s actions during hostage rescue may amount to war crimes, UN agency says
As the Israel-Hamas war continues, negotiations are apparently stalled to secure the release of hostages taken by the terrorist organization, and Israeli forces continue to launch incursions in the southern Gazan town of Rafah ahead of a possible large-scale invasion. United Nation human rights officials said they were "profoundly shocked" by the Israeli operation that freed four hostages in central Gaza over the weekend, adding that actions by both Israel and Hamas "may amount to war crimes." "The manner in which the raid was conducted in such a densely populated area seriously calls into question whether the principles of distinction, proportionality and precaution -- as set out under the laws of war -- were respected by the Israeli forces," the U.N. Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights, or OHCHR, said in a statement on Tuesday.

Andrew Cuomo to testify before House panel on COVID nursing home policy
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo will appear Tuesday before a congressional subcommittee to speak about his administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic, including its highly-scrutinized handling of nursing homes. The GOP-led panel issued a subpoena in March for Cuomo, a Democrat, to sit for a deposition. Cuomo's appearance comes on the heels of the subcommittee's hearing last week with Dr. Anthony Fauci as Republicans continue to try to put the country's response to COVID-19 in the spotlight amid a contentious 2024 presidential election cycle.

House Republicans eye Garland contempt vote over refusal to turn over Biden special counsel interview audio
House Republicans this week plans to move ahead with a full chamber vote on holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over audio of President Joe Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur on his handling of classified documents. If that passes, the resolution then heads to the full House for a vote. The vote has been in limbo since two House committees -- Oversight and Judiciary -- voted along party-lines last month to advance a report recommending that Garland be held in contempt.

Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes' appeal to be heard in San Francisco federal court
Disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes' appeal will be heard at a federal courthouse in San Francisco on Tuesday. The hearing arrives one year after Holmes began a more than 11-year sentence at a Texas prison for defrauding investors with false claims about her company's blood-testing technology. In a 47-page court filing in November, Holmes' attorneys said the prosecution failed to prove a cornerstone of its case: that Holmes hoodwinked investors while knowing full well the deficiencies of her product.

Judge Aileen Cannon rejects Trump's bid to dismiss counts in classified documents indictment
Federal Judge Aileen Cannon, who is overseeing former President Donald Trump's classified documents case, has just denied one of a series of defense motions to dismiss many of the counts against him, according to a new order issued late Monday afternoon. Cannon did, however, agree to strike one paragraph from the indictment, though it's not linked to any particular charge in the indictment. In her order, Cannon expressed agreement with Trump's team that "much of the language" in Special Counsel Jack Smith's speaking indictment of Trump and his two co-defendants "is legally unnecessary."

3 big takeaways from Day 6 of Hunter Biden's federal gun trial
Jurors began deliberating Monday afternoon in Hunter Biden's federal gun trial after prosecutors urged them to use "common sense" to find him guilty of three felony gun charges, claiming to have proved their case "beyond a reasonable doubt seven ways to Sunday." "If this evidence did not establish that Hunter Biden was a crack addict, and an unlawful user, then no one is a crack addict or an unlawful user," said prosecutor Derek Hines. Abbe Lowell, the lead defense attorney, rebutted that claim by characterizing the government's case as nothing more than "speculation and conjecture."
