Hate crimes in the U.S. rose to the highest level in more than a decade as federal officials also recorded the highest number of hate-motivated killings since the FBI began collecting that data in the early 1990s. A former White House speechwriter who attended a meeting with white nationalists was appointed to a government commission on Holocaust memorials, a move strongly criticized by Jewish groups. And CNN’s chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour apologized for comparing President Trump’s term in office to the historical turning point in Germany and Europe that culminated in the Holocaust and the genocide of six million Jews.
