Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee Files for Reelection, Hunter Biden Seeks Dismissal of Gun Charges, Blinken Questions Slow Condemnation of Hamas' Violence

In a series of political developments, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee is set to face a primary against former Houston city councilor Amanda Edwards, Hunter Biden moves to dismiss his Delaware gun charges, and Secretary Blinken criticizes the international community's slow response to Hamas' sexual violence.

• Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, has filed for reelection to her House seat after losing a bid to become mayor of Houston over the weekend. The filing will result in a primary against Amanda Edwards, a former Houston city council member.
• Hunter Biden will file motions on Monday to dismiss the gun-related charges he faces in Delaware. The president's son was charged in September with making false statements on a federal firearms form and obtaining a handgun and possessing it for 11 days while being addicted to drugs.
• Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has said that members of the international community need to 'ask themselves' why they were slow to condemn violence perpetrated against women by Hamas. The sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas during and since the militant group's Oct. 7 surprise attack on Israel is 'beyond anything that I've seen,' Blinken said.
