    German had reported on alleged mismanagement in Telles’ office. When Telles later lost a reelection bid in 2022, he posted a letter online in which he attacked the Review-Journal for its coverage.

    They argued that he has no motive. Revenge is a motive.

    The case is the first in U.S. history in which an elected official is accused of murdering an American journalist.

    So there are known cases in the U.S. of elected officials murdering non-American journalists?

        I’m assuming the phrasing restricts it to cases that were in U.S. jurisdiction and that would be legally considered murder.
