Rosenstein agrees that Russia interfered in election – The Washington Post

Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein on Tuesday endorsed the intelligence agencies’ January assessment that Russia had interfered in the 2016 election, a subject on which he did not take a position during his confirmation hearing in March.

Rosenstein had promised Judiciary Committee senators that he would review the classified information that led 17 intelligence agencies to reach their conclusions about Russia’s involvement, if he was confirmed as deputy attorney general. He did, and has decided he agreed with it.

“I now have access to classified information, and I think that assessment made by the intelligence community is justified,” Rosenstein said.

100 home-grown terrorists fighting overseas are ‘free to return to Australia’ – after challenges to tough laws

More than 100 Australian terrorists fighting overseas for ISIS could return home at any point because of several flaws in new counter-terrorism laws.

The security laws, which were introduced by Immigration Minister Peter Dutton in 2015, were created to strip terrorists with dual-nationality of their Australian citizenship.

But this week, The Herald Sun revealed Mr Dutton was asked to submit amendments to the laws designed to stop terrorists – including those fighting in Syria and Iraq – from returning to Australia. One of the flaws is officials must show the suspected terrorist is also a citizen of another country, which require the help of officials in Syria and Iraq – who have refused.
