On Thursday, President Joe Biden met with the family of Alexei Navalny, a Russian opposition leader.
Biden met with Navalny’s wife Yulia Navalnaya and one of the couple’s children, daughter Dasha Navalnaya. During their meeting in California, Biden said he would pledge new sanctions against Putin who is “responsible for [Navalny’s] death.”
This week, the Biden administration imposed 500 new sanctions amidst the Russian-Ukrainian war and Navalny’s death. Navalny’s death was met with criticism and outrage due to the mysterious circumstances of his death. It was reported that Navalny allegedly fell ill and died during imprisonment.
“Putin is responsible, whether he ordered it or he is responsible for the circumstances he put that man in,” Biden said regarding the death.
Biden has also criticized former President Donald Trump for comparing his ongoing legal battles to Navalny’s death. Trump was also slammed by fellow Republican presidential opponent Nikki Haley.

As Alexei Navalny’s wife and daughter attend Sunday’s Oscars to honor Daniel Roher’s nominated documentary “Navalny,” his daughter, Dasha, delivered a touching message to her imprisoned father on the red carpet.
“I miss him and I love him and we’re doing everything we can to get him out,” Dasha Navalnaya told TheWrap on the Oscars red carpet. “I’m just honored to be here to represent the Russian people who are fighting against authoritarian regime in the country and to get my dad out of prison.”
While Roher admits attending the 95th Academy Awards feels “amazing” and represents a “terrific honor,” the director of the Best Documentary Feature nominee confirmed he is thinking of Navalny and that the Russian dissident is “with [him] in spirit.”

“If it’s Biden against Trump, Biden will win – that’s a good bet,” Bill Maher predicted to Jake Tapper tonight on CNN of a potential 2024 showdown between the 2020 rivals.
“I think he’s done the job perfectly fine .. generally, he’s restored normality,” the Real Time with Bill Maher host said of the 46th Potus in the first edition of the CNN Primetime on Tuesday. “I don’t mind at all that he’s 82, 84, 86,” Maher added, taking on one of the top Joe Biden critiques. “We have an important decision to make, go to the elders,” the comedian went on to say with a swing at a society that doesn’t value the aged – though Maher admitted Biden was no “James Brown at the Apollo.”
The sometime barbed comedian made a point of noting that if octogenarian Biden isn’t at the top of the Democrats’ ’24 ticket, 76-year old...
