34-year-old man shot, killed in Federal Way parking lot
FEDERAL WAY, Wash. - Police are investigating a second Saturday shooting in Federal Way. They say the two incidents are unrelated.
Timeline

Jury selection underway in trial of Irish firefighter charged with raping woman in Boston hotel
Prosecutors allege that Crosbie raped a 'female stranger' at the Omni Parker House hotel in downtown Boston on March 14, 2024. The 28-year-old woman went to dinner with co-workers and met a man, Liam O'Brien, along with his fellow Irish firefighters, officials said. Advertisement Video shows that around 11:30 p.m., the woman left a restaurant with O'Brien and returned to the room he was sharing with Crosbie at the Omni Parker House. Crosbie left the room for about two hours. O'Brien and the woman had a consensual encounter and then fell asleep in separate beds, according to authorities. The woman said she later awoke to Crosbie on top of her, raping her, prosecutors said. The woman demanded that Crosbie stop, according to court filings. Crosbie allegedly remarked that he knew that she wanted this and his friend was pathetic for falling asleep, prosecutors said. The woman left and messaged a friend to say she had been assaulted. She then went to a hospital, where she spoke with police and underwent a sexual assault examination. Advertisement Crosbie was scheduled to leave the United States on March 19, after the parade. But after he spoke with police on March 15, Crosbie went to Logan International Airport for a 10:10 p.m. flight. He wound up boarding a 7 p.m. flight but was removed from the plane and arrested, officials said. During an August hearing, prosecutors requested a DNA swab from Crosbie for 'comparative testing.' According to court documents filed by prosecutors, a genital swab from the woman revealed male DNA. 'A known DNA sample from the defendant will produce evidence relevant to the question of his guilt,' wrote Assistant District Attorney Erin Murphy, chief of the domestic violence and sexual assault unit, in court papers. Crosbie objected to giving a sample on grounds of unreasonable searches and seizures, court filings show. 'My client is not concerned about what the DNA is going to return or say,' said Crosbie's lawyer, Daniel C. Reilly, at the time. 'He is adamant that he had no physical contact with her.' The status of the DNA testing wasn't immediately clear on Thursday. In court Thursday, Crosbie wore an off-white suit and had a neat crew cut. He sat alert between his attorneys as the presiding judge questioned potential jurors, and he also appeared to take notes. Material from prior Globe stories was used in this report.

How China Silences Critics From Afar
United Kingdom-based human rights group Article 19 has released a report on the Chinese government's relentless campaigns to silence dissenting voices beyond China's borders. The report, based on existing research and on recent interviews with 29 members of diaspora communities, details "the myriad tactics and actors involved in China's ongoing transnational repression of protesters around the world." Hong Kongers, Tibetans and others who have fled China out of fear of political persecution have reported being targeted by a sophisticated network said to include Beijing's United Front Work Department, embassy personnel and online influencers. Outspoken opponents of China's human rights record, in particular, have been in the crosshairs, amid Chinese Communist Party (CCP) efforts to stamp out or delegitimize international protest movements, observers say. Newsweek reached out to the Chinese embassy in Washington, D.C., and the Federal Bureau of Investigation with emailed requests for comment. Transnational repression can take the form of digital threats, abduction, forced repatriation and even assassination Article 19 said in its report, released on June 4, the anniversary of China's bloody 1989 crackdown on protesters in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. While such tactics are also employed by governments like Russia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, Beijing is "by far the most prolific perpetrator," the group said, citing Freedom House estimates that millions of Chinese nationals have been targeted in at least 36 countries. "From public acts of physical violence to online intimidation, the targeting of family members-especially against high-profile protest leaders-has a knock-on effect on human rights movements," the report said. In some cases, authorities have gone after the families of prominent dissidents deemed problematic. A recent example of this cited by rights groups centers on Anna Kwok, a U.S.-based activist wanted by the Hong Kong government. In late April, her father and brother were arrested on suspicion of violating the city's National Security Law-a sweeping measure imposed by Beijing following the 2019 pro-democracy protests. "The Chinese government has increased its appalling use of collective punishment against family members of peaceful activists from Hong Kong," Yalkun Uluyol, China researcher at Human Rights Watch, said in May. Michael Caster, head of Article 19's Global China Programme, said in the press release for the report: "The CCP employs its tactics to intimidate people from participating in protests, weakening global support and solidarity for human rights in China and around the world. Transnational repression silences dissent and chills freedom of expression." Liu Pengyu, spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in the U.S., told the Washington Post in April: "China firmly opposes the politicization, instrumentalization, or weaponization of human rights issues, as well as foreign interference under the pretext of human rights." With China expected to continue seeking to silence overseas dissidents, Article 19 urged governments to build up their response capacity for suspected cases of transnational repression and improve public awareness. The group also urged tech companies-some accused of complying with Chinese censorship demands-to be more transparent about these communications and to improve digital security and technical support for those targeted.

Exclusive: Dems press Trump admin. for response to China-backed cyberattacks
A group of Democratic lawmakers are pressing the Trump administration to clarify who is leading the government's efforts to eradicate China-backed hackers from U.S. critical infrastructure and telecom networks. Why it matters: Roughly 1,000 people have already left the nation's top cyber agency this year through voluntary buyouts and other workforce cuts. Those cuts could create dangerous weaknesses in the nation's cyber defenses, the lawmakers argue in a letter exclusively shared with Axios. Zoom in: Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) sent a letter today to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard demanding more clarity on who is leading the response against two major China-backed cyberattacks uncovered during the Biden administration. Democratic Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi, Kathy Castor, Ro Khanna, Haley Stevens, Shontel Brown and Jill Tokuda joined Torres as signatories. The lawmakers are also requesting Noem and Gabbard provide an update on any ongoing investigations into both the Volt Typhoon attacks on U.S. critical infrastructure and the Salt Typhoon campaign to surveil high-profile individuals' cell phones. The group is also asking for an update on how proposed budget cuts and the recent workforce reductions at CISA will impact those investigations. What they're saying: "This is not a partisan issue. It is a matter of grave consequence for the security of America both at home and abroad," the lawmakers write. "We owe it to the American people to protect them from the specter of a cyber 9/11 at the hands of our most formidable foreign adversary." Threat level: For years, top American officials have been warning about increasing cyber threats from China. China-backed Volt Typhoon has been prepositioning in critical infrastructure — such as water utilities, power plants and railways — for at least five years, according to congressional testimony. Salt Typhoon, another Chinese government-backed group, was caught hacking into several high-profile politicians' phones last year, including President Trump's. "Somewhere, Xi Jinping is smiling at America's insistence on degrading its own cyber capabilities," the lawmakers write.
