Jamelle Bouie analyzes efforts by right-wing commentators and the Trump administration to rehabilitate Richard Nixon's reputation, framing Watergate as a 'deep state' plot. Bouie argues that these efforts mirror defenses of Donald Trump, who faces historically low approval ratings among independents. Reviewing the historical record, Bouie emphasizes that Watergate involved serious crimes and abuses of presidential power, and notes that the conservative movement's response to Nixon's downfall helped shape the modern 'unitary executive' theory.

A forensic science expert, Professor Angela Gallop, has told the Omagh Bombing Inquiry that the forensic investigation into the 1998 Omagh bombing was conducted efficiently despite the extreme complexity of the case. The inquiry is examining whether the atrocity, which killed 29 people, could have been prevented by UK state authorities. Gallop noted that while the lead explosive scientist did not use a formal investigation strategy, his approach was common at the time and he performed exceptionally well under difficult circumstances. However, the inquiry also heard about resource constraints at the Forensic Science Agency Northern Ireland in 1998, and that later advancements in DNA and fibre forensics came too late to mitigate contamination risks for items already examined.
