Lawmakers demand answers from AP and Reuters

Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., is asking The Associated Press and Reuters to answer questions about their journalists’ knowledge of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack after Israel accused the outlets of having a forewarning of the terrorist strike that killed over 1,200 people. 
 

Lawler, along with a bipartisan group of lawmakers, is penning letters to the news outlets demanding answers about any possible knowledge they may have had prior to the Hamas attack, which the outlets previously denied.

"That these journalists would knowingly not share this information, and in the process save thousands of Israeli and Gazan lives, is simply beyond the pale," said Lawler.
