The dictator had the absolute loyalty of all his aides.

Ambassadors and aides from all 28 members of the European Union joined forces last week with volunteers from Casey Trees, a local conservation group, to plant trees in a Washington city park, hoping to earn goodwill and make a symbolic point with their labor.

In his interviews, Pack often pointed to an investigation by his aides of VOA's Urdu language service for airing a Biden campaign ad, as an example of that bias.

One of my aides had pneumonia last week.
