Hearing on Strategies to Counter CCP's Economic Coercion; Bryan Kohberger Faces Victims' Families

The House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is holding a hearing on Wednesday to discuss strategies for countering the CCP's economic coercion against democracies around the world. Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and former U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel are set to testify.

Bryan Kohberger—the man who killed four University of Idaho students in 2022—is expected to be sentenced to four consecutive life terms. He was arrested six weeks after the killings and charged with four counts of first-degree murder. Kohberger pleaded guilty earlier this month and faces the victims’ families at his sentencing hearing on Wednesday.
