They reported ongoing attempts by foreign actors to interfere with the election, outlined the defence efforts, and presented strategies for Americans to use to protect their votes.

It was pretty inspiring.

DOJ To Charge 2 British ISIS Militants Accused Of Role In Killing U.S. Hostages

Source: NPR

The U.S. Justice Department is expected to announce charges this week against two British nationals suspected of being part of a notorious Islamic State cell accused of torturing and beheading Western hostages, according to a law enforcement official.

The two men, Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh, were captured in Syria in 2018 by Kurdish allies of the U.S. and were transferred to U.S. military custody in Iraq. They are expected to arrive in the U.S. in the near future, setting the stage for one of the biggest terrorism trials in the country in recent years.

NBC News first reported their expected transfer to the United States.

Kotey and Elsheikh are believed to be one half of a cell of Islamic State militants in Syria nicknamed "The Beatles" because of their British accents. The cell became notorious in 2014 for its brutal treatment of hostages, including on-camera beheadings that the group posted videos of online.

Gives Trump a chance to strut around as if he did something, indulge a lot of tough talk, and impress people who aren't paying very close attention and the people whose idea of a tough guy is Donald Trump.
