“The investigation is now ongoing”. Also non-permissively inserted into her site, were photos showing her with Harambe, the African gorilla killed last June after a boy fell into his enclosure. The government agency’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement division is looking into the matter, but is not sharing any further details at this time, according to an Associated Press report.

Agents at America’s Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have reportedly launched an investigation into the brutal hack attack targeting actress Leslie Jones.

Jones herself has not commented, but this is the latest in a string of Internet attacks against the comedian. “I’m with you. -H”, Clinton tweeted at Jones Thursday.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was among those expressing encouragement on Twitter for the NBC Saturday Night Live co-star.

“No one deserves this – least of all someone who brings us so much joy”, Clinton tweeted.
