Recent developments in the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump have raised questions about the motives and connections of the alleged assassin, Crooks. Contrary to earlier FBI statements, it has been revealed that Crooks had three encrypted messaging accounts in different countries. This discrepancy has led to criticism from a congressman who accused the FBI and Secret Service of not releasing information promptly, suggesting that threats against Trump are ongoing. In response to these threats, Trump has increased his security measures, including speaking at outdoor events behind bulletproof glass. The situation has led to calls for greater transparency and accountability in federal agencies.
Speaking of encrypted messaging, Pavel Durov, the billionaire co-founder and CEO of Telegram, was arrested at Bourget airport near Paris on a French search warrant. Durov is accused of facilitating crimes such as terrorism, narcotics trafficking, and fraud through his platform. Telegram, known for its end-to-end encrypted messaging, has faced criticism for not moderating illegal activities. Some, including Kim Dotcom, have characterized the arrest as a crackdown on free speech, suggesting that Western intelligence services want access to Telegram’s private messages. Durov, who left Russia in 2014 after refusing to shut down opposition communities on his VK social media platform, now resides in Dubai and holds dual citizenship in France and the UAE. He faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted, and the Russian embassy in France is working to clarify the situation.
