As the coronavirus tore through the world in 2020, and the United States confronted a shortage of tests designed to detect the illness, then-President Donald Trump secretly sent coveted tests to Russian President Vladimir Putin for his personal use. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
Putin accepted the supplies but took pains to prevent political fallout.

He cautioned Trump not to reveal that he had dispatched the scarce medical equipment to Moscow, according to “War,” a new book by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
Four years later, the personal relationship between the two men appears to have persisted, Woodward reports, as Trump campaigns to return to the White House and Putin orchestrates his bloody assault on Ukraine.

Mark Robinson, the firebrand Republican nominee for governor in North Carolina, has for years made comments downplaying and making light of sexual assault and domestic violence. wapo.st/3KQffZ6
A review of Robinson’s social media posts over the past decade shows that he frequently questioned the credibility of women who aired allegations of sexual assault against prominent men, including Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby and now-U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh. wapo.st/3KQffZ6Mark Robinson addresses supporters during a campaign event in Faison, North Carolina on February 17, 2024. Photo by Madeline Gray for The Washington Post.

Exclusive: A Washington Post investigation has found that over the past two decades, hundreds of law enforcement officers in the United States have sexually abused children while officials at every level of the criminal justice system have failed to protect kids, punish abusers and prevent additional crimes. wapo.st/3XiNgZCWP Exclusive: Hundreds of police officers have sexually abused children. In many cases, they avoided prison time.
The Post conducted an exclusive analysis of the nation’s most comprehensive database of police crimes.

From 2005 through 2022, reporters identified at least 1,800 state and local law enforcement officers who were charged with crimes involving child sexual abuse. wapo.st/3XiNgZC
Police and court documents show that abusive officers frequently spent months befriending and grooming kids.

Many used the threat of arrest or physical harm to make their victims comply. wapo.st/3XiNgZC
Pictured here are officers, who are among those convicted of serious crimes involving child sexual abuse, such as rape, sexual assault and child molestation, among other charges. Text with the image reads, “Here are some of The Post’s top findings: 99% of arrested officers were male, 66% of arrested officers had more than five years of service, 47 of those arrested were chiefs of police, top sheriffs or other agency heads, Nearly 40% of convicted officers were not sentenced to prison”

At least 122 priests, sisters and brothers assigned to 22 boarding schools since the 1890s were later accused of sexually abusing Native American children under their care, The Post found. wapo.st/3yB2VZT
Most of the documented abuse occurred in the 1950s and 1960s and involved more than 1,000 children.

Emily Franciose’s love of the backcountry drew her to boarding school in the Swiss Alps.

Then a mountain fell apart beneath her skis — and left her parents seeking answers. wapo.st/3UqR3SH
Emily had been on skis since she was 2, had attended avalanche safety courses and traveled with a first-aid kit.

She arrived at Ecole d’Humanité — which had a backcountry program with ski tours at least once a week in the Swiss Alps — in August 2022, one day after turning 18. wapo.st/3UqR3SHA quote from Lydia Breuning, manager of the school chalet where Emily lived, reading, "I say she arrived, but it was more like she burst. She burst into our lives and into our community with so much enthusiasm."
The school’s last backcountry outing of the season took place on March 21, 2023.

Spring break was a few days away. Emily and her roommate had tickets to Paris.

But first, a trek to the top of the Wellhorn: wapo.st/3UqR3SH
