One week after a 15-year-old was shot by an Akron police officer, the city has released body camera footage of the incident and the officer's personnel file. “In an effort to be as transparent as possible, we are releasing both the body camera footage showing the officer’s entire interaction with the adolescent who was shot, and the officer’s personnel file,” said Akron Mayor Shammas Malik in a statement. “We will continue to be transparent and communicative as the process unfolds.” According to a release from the Akron Police Department, the incident on April 1 occurred in the Goodyear Heights neighborhood, with a woman calling authorities and claiming the teen was pointing a gun at homes near the intersection of Tonawanda Avenue and Newton Street.

,(AP) The Trump administration’s Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is touting from the White House podium the release of a House report that she claims helps undercut the reality of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Gabbard made a surprise appearance just hours after she made public a declassified report from House Republicans that was produced during the first presidential administration. The report does not dispute the intelligence community’s assessment that Russia interfered in the election, but alleges tradecraft failings in how intelligence officials reached the conclusion that Russian President Vladimir Putin intended to have Trump win. The release of the report, as Trump is facing backlash from elements of his base over the handling of records from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, is part of an ongoing effort by the Trump administration to rewrite the history of Russian election interference. Gabbard lashed out during lengthy remarks at specific members of the Obama administration. Gabbard didn’t address a question about those who suggest she is making the report public in order to improve her standing with Trump after she seemed to fall from favor earlier this year when he dismissed her assessments about Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Instead, Leavitt opted to answer the question for Gabbard, who said the only people questioning Gabbard’s motives were news reporters “who constantly try to sow distrust and chaos amongst the president’s Cabinet.” Courtesy: Associated Press RELATED STORY: https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/local/cleveland/president-trump-orders-review-federal-police-consent-decrees-including-cleveland/95-fd0b7c8f-6bca-497a-bd14-b15dddac7bee At 3News, we’re here to share your voice and tell your story.
