Summary

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: The Biden administration rejects GOP efforts to sanction the International Criminal Court after its chief prosecutor announced plans to seek arrest warrants for high-ranking Israeli officials. This news coincides with a Guardian report detailing a multi-year campaign by Israeli intelligence to undermine and intimidate the ICC. We’ll examine the expanding “RussiaGate” scandal in Europe, where police have raided the offices of several EU Parliament members suspected of being paid to promote Russian propaganda. Plus, more violence in Mexico as another mayoral candidate is gunned down just days before nationwide elections. Lastly, in today’s Back of the Brief, we’ll explore a bizarre event from North Korea—not the launch of rockets or spy satellites, but balloons reportedly filled with trash and excrement.
