D.C. Grand Jury Indicts Turkish President's Security Guards over Assault on Protesters
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. It's not clear if
Erdogan gave the order for the attack. It left nine anti-Erdogan
protesters hospitalized.
