Summary
Trump cut funding to Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab, which was tracking Russian war crimes, including the abduction of 35,000 Ukrainian children.
A Yale source claims the U.S. State Department deleted key evidence, possibly hindering prosecution efforts and rescue missions. The data was crucial to the ICC’s case against Putin and others.
Trump, who recently met with Putin, has taken a pro-Russian stance.
Yale’s project had led to multiple indictments, but its shutdown raises concerns over legal and humanitarian consequences.
How does cutting funding end up deleting data? Unless they where hosting this stuff on fed systems they shouldn’t have been able to touch it, much less delete it.
As for the ‘maybe it was accidental’, I’d laugh if it wasn’t so painful to reiterate what kind of sociopath we have running things.
Per the article, they were explicit deletions.
