returns to the many obstacles facing the judicial officers responsible for investigating the assassination of President Jovenel Moise on July 7 in a subject broadcast on Tuesday. CNN says it has exclusively obtained documents that were entered into the file on the investigation into the death of Jovenel Moïse. Documents show how complicated this investigation promises to be.
Many death threats have for example been uttered, in particular by SMS against the clerk, but also against Carl Henry Destin, the justice of the peace in charge of the investigation, who tells CNN to be, since, forced to hide.
Roadblocks preventing access to crime scenes have also been erected.
The documents recovered by CNN also demonstrate obvious shortcomings on the part of the Haitian police and problems between police and judicial officers.
Essential witnesses, for example, have simply disappeared.
An obscure investigation that could be a consequence of the disorganization of an underfunded judicial system in Haiti, according to CNN, even if the channel also points to the uncertainty around an investigation that feeds fears of dark and mysterious forces
In the USA: start of the committee's work on January 6
It is on Tuesday that the work of the commission responsible for investigating the events of January 6 in Washington begins.
A commission that is controversial and that former President Donald Trump did not hesitate to judge as
"highly impartial"
this Monday, July 26 in a press release.
This Tuesday this commission will hear several police officers who attended these events. A job that promises to be very long, as one of the members of this commission explains in a column published in the
Washington Post
. According to Bennie Thompson, Democratic Representative from Mississippi, seventy-two percent of Americans want to know what really happened that day. He therefore undertakes to shed full light on
"the facts, circumstances and causes of this attack on American democracy"
,
"one of the darkest days in our history"
, as he recalls. But Bennie Thompson regrets that the Republican camp has not allowed to set up a commission of experts on national security as was the case for the attacks of September 11, 2001. He denounces the systematic obstruction of Mitch McConnell, the leader of the conservative minority in the Senate, although two members of the Republican party will still participate in the proceedings.
They are Liz Cheney, representative of Wyoming in the House of Representatives and Adam Kinzinger, who represents Illinois. The appointment of these two Republican elected officials has sparked a storm within the Conservative Party, and with the approach of the hearings on Tuesday, it is an unarmed fight that we are witnessing, estimates the daily
The Hill.
On Monday, the leader of the Republican minority in the House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy called the two defectors
"Republicans from Pelosi"
, a supreme insult in the eyes of the conservatives. Adam Kinzinger was quick to respond by qualifying his remarks as
"childish"
. Discussions that say a lot about the atmosphere that reigns within the Conservative Party.
An atmosphere that may become even more tense since Adam Kinzinger has warned that he would not hesitate to call his Republican colleagues to testify before this commission of inquiry, details
