The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor has lost access to his email, and his bank accounts have been frozen.

U.S. President Donald Trump in February slapped sanctions on its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan .

The sanctions are hampering work on a broad array of investigations, not just one into Israel 's leaders.

The ICC had been investigating atrocities in Sudan and had issued arrest warrants for former Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir .

The U.S. says the court’s “malign conduct” threatens the sovereignty of the United States ’ Netanyahu has dismissed the allegations as “absurd,” and Israel ’s Knesset is considering legislation that would make providing evidence to the court a crime.

Judges have banned Khan from publicizing his requests for warrants in several investigations.
