Republican Sens. Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Steve Daines (Mont.) shared photos from U.S lawmakers’ virtual meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after they were reportedly asked not to do so due to security concerns.

Both senators shared photos of Zelensky speaking to Congress on Twitter with captions indicating that they were on the call.

Multiple aides told NBC News lawmakers present were directed by Ukrainian officials not to share pictures of the president.

Democratic Reps. Dean Phillps (Minn.) and Jason Crow (Colo) slammed the senators later on Saturday.

“The Ukrainian Ambassador very intentionally asked each of us on the zoom to NOT share anything on social media during the meeting to protect the security of President Zelenskyy. Appalling and reckless ignorance by two US Senators,” Phillips tweeted.

“The lack of discipline in Congress is truly astounding. If an embattled wartime leader asks you to keep quiet about a meeting, you better keep quiet about the meeting,” Crow said.

Papini claimed her kidnappers drove a dark SUV and made her lie down in the back, saying her hips became sore after lying prone for over 40 minutes. In a 55-page affidavit filed Thursday in federal court, prosecutors said her ex-boyfriend picked her up in a rented sports car. She slipped into the back seat and at one point took a nap as he drove her to Southern California.

She told investigators that her kidnappers played “really annoying Mexican music” and that she heard slivers of a plan to sell her to someone in law enforcement as part of a human-trafficking deal. During the time she was missing, prosecutors said, she never left her ex-boyfriend’s home in Orange County…

Atienza said it pained the family that it took nearly three years to bring charges against Hall, during which time he fatally shot another man, Tyrell Wilson, who was homeless and mentally ill.

“The preferential treatment shown to Hall as an officer throughout this trial has only added to our trauma,” she said.

The case marked the first time a police officer was charged in an on-duty shooting in Contra Costa County, east of San Francisco, and is part of a push by more prosecutors to punish police misconduct after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis set off nationwide calls for social justice.
