"Nancy Pelosi Calls for FBI Probe into Alleged Russian Ties of Gaza Protesters"

U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi suggested that some protesters calling for a Gaza cease-fire may be linked to Russia and urged the FBI to investigate, without offering evidence. Her comments came in response to questions about organizing Democrats given voters' anger over President Biden's support for Israel in its war against Hamas in Gaza. The Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned Pelosi's comments as "unsubstantiated smears," while a spokesperson for Pelosi stood by her remarks, emphasizing her support for Americans' right to peaceful protest and her concern for stopping the suffering in Gaza.
