Maryland governor Wes Moore is facing renewed scrutiny over his academic background after refusing to search for his missing Oxford thesis, which he claims made him an expert on Hamas. Oxford University has declined to confirm whether Moore was ever a doctoral candidate, citing privacy laws, and its library has no record of his thesis. Moore, who has previously faced questions about other aspects of his biography, insists he is 'too busy' to address the controversy, dismissing it as a partisan attack. The situation raises further questions about Moore's academic and personal claims as he is considered a potential candidate for the 2028 presidential race.
