In Washington, D.C., a grand jury has indicted 15 members of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s security detail on felony charges for attacking a group of peaceful protesters in Washington, D.C., in May. Video from the scene shows Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan looking on during the assault, which came just after Erdogan was welcomed to the White House by President Trump.
