Erdogan Watched as His Guards Attacked Protesters in Washington
(New York Times) Nichlas Fandos - New video surfaced on Thursday that shows President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey looking on as armed members of his security team violently charge a group of protesters outside the Turkish ambassador's residence in Washington. U.S. investigators were paying particular attention to two members of the Turkish security detail who assaulted American Diplomatic Security officers.

The two men remain the subject of an active criminal investigation and will not be allowed to re-enter the U.S.
