Apologies for requesting support in what was originally intended as an update on work done
i am done with that, you will receive no more messages from me regarding funding, i am most grateful for your
help—without it, i doubt i would have a book in view on Honour killings—i can finish it on my own and fully
intend to
you once said you would "never not support me" but never, as we both know, is a very long time—i am much
more scared of Trump's capacity to destroy the stock market—but as long as i do not get orders from you to
sell, i will ride it out
i hope everything is good in your life

Honor killings refer to murders committed by family members or members of a social group to restore or preserve perceived family or group honor, often involving women who are believed to have violated cultural or social norms, particularly those related to sexual behavior.
These acts are frequently motivated by the desire to control female sexuality, with victims often targeted for refusing arranged marriages, engaging in relationships deemed inappropriate, or being perceived as having lost their virginity.
Although often associated with Muslim communities, honor killings occur across various cultures, including conservative Hindu and Christian contexts, and have been documented in countries across the Middle East, South Asia, Europe, and North America.

The practice has ancient roots, traceable to patriarchal traditions in civilizations such as ancient Assyria, Rome, and China, where women were considered the property of male family members and their chastity was seen as essential to family honor.
In Roman law, the pater familias, or head of household, had the right to kill an unmarried daughter who was sexually active or a wife found guilty of adultery.
Similarly, in some historical legal systems, including early Jewish law, adultery was punishable by death.
The concept of honor is deeply tied to male control over female behavior, with the belief that a woman's actions reflect on the family's reputation and social standing.

In modern times, honor killings are condemned by international human rights conventions, including the Istanbul Convention, yet they persist in various regions.
The World Health Organization estimated in 2012 that approximately 5,000 honor killings occur globally each year.
Common methods include strangulation, stabbing, burning, acid attacks, and forced suicide.
In some cases, victims are killed even after being raped, as their perceived loss of virginity is seen as bringing dishonor to the family.
In Iran, for example, the Islamic Penal Code does not explicitly criminalize honor killings, and perpetrators may receive reduced sentences or be exempt from retribution if they are male relatives of the victim.

Despite the global condemnation of such violence, legal responses vary significantly. Some countries treat honor killings as a distinct category of crime, advocating for specialized training for law enforcement and judicial systems to address the unique motivations behind these acts.
Others argue that honor killings should be prosecuted under general homicide laws to avoid reinforcing cultural stereotypes.
In many cases, the crimes are under-reported due to a culture of silence, lack of legal protection, and societal pressure to maintain family honor.
The perpetrators are often male family members, and the crimes are typically premeditated, involving planning and threats before the murder.

Honor-based violence is not limited to murder; it can also include physical assault, forced marriage, threats, and forced abortion.
While most victims are women and girls, men can also be targeted, particularly for homosexual behavior or other perceived violations of social codes.
The global nature of the issue underscores the need for comprehensive legal reforms, public awareness campaigns, education initiatives, and civil society engagement to combat this form of gender-based violence.

The investigation into Trump’s inauguration money looks quite serious. The US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York subpoenaed the inaugural committee on Monday.

President Trump’s inaugural committee received a sweeping subpoena from the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York — meaning criminal investigations into the inauguration’s money are heating up.

The scope of documents requested in the subpoena and potential crimes investigators are probing are both remarkable — investigating everything from false statements to money laundering. Investigators are said to be interested in the inaugural committee’s spending, its donations, whether any donations came from illegal foreign sources, and potential corruption involving favors for donors.

Since last year, there have been reports that special counsel Robert Mueller was investigating potential foreign donations to the inaugural committee. But in December, news broke that federal prosecutors in New York were overseeing a broader probe into the inauguration and its money.

Trump’s inaugural committee raised a truly astonishing $106.7 million, double the previous record set by Barack Obama’s 2009 inaugural, and there have long been many questions about where that money came from, and where it went.

Rick Gates, the former Trump campaign aide who helped run the inaugural committee and struck a plea deal with Mueller in February, has also been cooperating with SDNY prosecutors, per the Wall Street Journal. Michael Cohen, who helped fundraise for the inaugural, is another major figure, though it’s not entirely clear whether he’s helping out with the investigation or whether he’s a target of it.

What the subpoena demanded from Trump’s inaugural committee

The Wall Street Journal reports that the documents the government is demanding from the inaugural committee include:

• “All documents related to the committee’s donors and vendors”
• All records related to “benefits” provided to donors
• Documents related to the financier Imaad Zuberi and his company Avenue Ventures LLC. (He is the only donor specifically named in the subpoena. The Daily Beast has previously reported on Zuberi’s connections to Michael Cohen.)
• Documents related to donations “made by or on behalf of foreign nationals,” including communications about possible donations from foreign individuals
• Documents related to “donations or payments made by donors directly to contractors and/or vendors.” (The Journal reports that there was some discussion on the inaugural committee about having donors pay vendors for the inauguration directly — which could violate disclosure laws.)
• The New York Times reports that the subpoena also asks for documents about Stripe, a startup that processes credit card payments, for which Jared Kushner’s brother is an investor.

Meanwhile, CNN reports that the subpoena specifically names several different offenses that investigators are probing:

• Conspiracy against the United States
• False statements
• Mail fraud
• Wire fraud
• Money laundering
• Inaugural committee disclosure violations
• “Violations of laws prohibiting contributions by foreign nations and contributions in the name of another person, also known as straw donors.”

What we know about the investigations into Trump’s inauguration

Three Justice Department offices have reportedly been investigating aspects of Trump’s inauguration.

1) Special counsel Robert Mueller: Between April and June of last year, both CNN and ABC News reported that Mueller’s team was questioning witnesses about potential foreign donations to the Trump inaugural — specifically, about “donors with connections to Russia, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar,” per ABC.

It is unclear if Mueller is still investigating this, and he may have since referred some or all of it to another Justice Department office.

2) SDNY US Attorney’s Office: In April, the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York had Michael Cohen’s residence and office raided for documents. SDNY’s current probe into the Trump inauguration grew out of this investigation and raid and is being led by the public corruption unit, per the Wall Street Journal.

SDNY sent the subpoena to the inaugural committee this week, and appears to be leading the investigation.

3) EDNY US Attorney’s Office: To complicate matters further, New York Times reported that the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York “is separately investigating whether inaugural officials helped foreigners illegally funnel donations to Mr. Trump’s inaugural committee using so-called straw donors to disguise their donations.”

Rick Gates and Michael Cohen are key figures

The inaugural committee was chaired by billionaire real estate investor Tom Barrack, a longtime close friend of Trump. But according to reports at the time, Barrack turned to Rick Gates — Paul Manafort’s right-hand man, who remained on the Trump campaign after Manafort was fired — to handle much of the fundraising and planning work.

Eventually, Mueller indicted Gates for financial and lobbying crimes connected to his work with Manafort. And in February 2018, Gates cut a deal — pleading guilty and pledging his full cooperation with the government. This cooperation has reportedly included providing information about the Trump inauguration.

Another key figure is Michael Cohen, who also cut a plea deal with prosecutors — but his role in the investigation may be somewhat different.

Cohen pleaded guilty to financial and campaign finance violations brought by SDNY in August, and to lying to Congress related to the Russia investigation in November, but he never committed to cooperate with the government.

Instead, Cohen said he would voluntarily provide information, rather than committing to testify accurately about any crimes he might know about. This became a sticking point during his sentencing; Mueller’s office said they found Cohen’s information useful, but SDNY chided him for not fully committing to cooperate.

And notably, Imaad Zuberi — the only inaugural donor mentioned in the subpoena by name — discussed his inaugural contributions with Cohen and talked with him about business afterward. So it’s not entirely clear whether Cohen is helping out with this investigation of the inauguration — or whether he’s a target of it.

Trump Officials Tried To Rush Nuclear Technology To Saudis, House Panel Finds

A new interim report from the House Oversight Committee details Trump administration officials' efforts to transfer nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, pictured here, visited the U.S. in March 2017. Andrew Cabellero-Reynolds/AP

The Trump administration sought to rush the transfer of American nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia in potential violation of the law, a new report from the House Oversight and Reform Committee alleges.

Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings' staff issued an "interim staff" report Tuesday, citing "multiple whistleblowers" who raised ethical and legal concerns about the process.

"They have warned about political appointees ignoring directives from top ethics advisers at the White House who repeatedly and unsuccessfully ordered senior Trump administration officials to halt their efforts," the report states. "They have also warned of conflicts of interest among top White House advisers that could implicate federal criminal statutes."

The committee's report alleges that the major drivers behind the effort to transfer U.S. nuclear technology were retired Gen. Michael Flynn, who served as the president's national security adviser, and Thomas Barrack, who chaired Trump's inauguration committee. Flynn was fired in February 2017 for lying about conversations with the Russian ambassador to Vice President Pence and the FBI.

For about seven months in 2016, including during the presidential transition, Flynn served as an adviser to IP3 International, a private company seeking to build nuclear plants in Saudi Arabia.

The whistleblowers told the committee that Flynn continued to advocate for IP3's plan even after he joined the White House as the president's national security adviser in 2017.

The Atomic Energy Act requires that Congress approve any transfer of nuclear technology to a foreign country. The committee's report states that a senior director at the National Security Council (NSC), Derek Harvey, "reportedly ignored ... warnings and insisted that the decision to transfer nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia had already been made."

The NSC's lawyers realized that Flynn had a possible conflict of interest that could violate the law, the whistleblowers said, and told NSC staff to stop working on the nuclear technology transfer plan. Despite Flynn's firing in February 2017, the plan appeared to continue to progress with Barrack's support.

The committee announced that it intends to launch an investigation into this matter "to determine whether the actions being pursued by the Trump administration are in the national security interests of the United States, or, rather, serve those who stand to gain financially as a result of this potential change in U.S. foreign policy."

Shortly after the release of the report, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., announced that his panel would be coordinating with Cummings' staff to explore these allegations.

Tuesday's disclosure of a plan to sell nuclear technology comes as the United States considers its relationship with the Saudi government in the wake of the killing of writer Jamal Khashoggi.

Following his death, the House and Senate have both passed resolutions to limit U.S. involvement in the Saudi-led coalition fighting in the Yemeni civil war. The Senate also passed a resolution by voice vote — reflecting unanimity — that was fashioned to "hold Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman responsible for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi."

The report also comes as President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is scheduled to travel next week for a trip to the Middle East that includes a stop in Riyadh, the Saudi capital.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request to comment on the committee's report.

NPR's Ayesha Rascoe contributed to this report.
