FBI expands Georgia election probe with major analyst surge

The FBI has directed hundreds of intelligence analysts to bolster the Georgia 2020 election probe, with overtime and participation from all field offices, in what officials describe as a priority effort led by Director Kash Patel. The plan calls for tens of thousands of records checks to be completed by mid-July (about 708 checks per analyst), with investigators examining associations, social media, travel, and business activity to uncover derogatory information and build a case related to the Georgia election matter.

Trump-backed outsider leads razor-thin Colombia runoff in early results

Trump-endorsed Abelardo de la Espriella led a razor-thin runoff in Colombia as over 99% of votes were counted, about 49.7% to Iván Cepeda’s 48.7%. De la Espriella has pledged a hardline crackdown on illegal armed groups, drug trafficking and crime, signaling a shift from the incumbent peace approach. Cepeda has not conceded and called for an official audit as tensions and protests surfaced in Barranquilla and Cali. The result, if confirmed, could mark a rightward tilt in Colombian politics amid ongoing internal conflict and security concerns.

Colombia’s election shadowed by renewed violence and a hardline security contest

Colombia heads to the polls amid a spike in political violence tied to Farc dissidents and criminal groups, highlighted by the kidnapping and killing of journalist Mateo Pérez Rueda; the race pits Iván Cepeda, backing the peace deal, against far-right Abelardo de la Espriella and Paloma Valencia, who promise tougher security. Violence remains concentrated in illegal economies like drug trade and gold mining, with experts noting a high but localized threat since the peace agreement. The US has shown cautious engagement; a runoff is possible on June 21 if no candidate wins a majority, and Mateo’s death underscores a neglected part of the country still drawn into the conflict.
