    Jon Stewart admits he doesn't know future at Comedy Central as merger looms
    "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart admitted Thursday that he was unsure of his future at Comedy Central as its parent company Paramount's merger with Skydance Media looms.Stewart told listeners of his "Weekly Show" podcast that while his future with the comedy network may be uncertain, he is sure that he will land on his feet no matter the outcome of the merger."Do you think that Skydance would get rid of 'The Daily Show after the merger?" one fan-submitted question read.COLBERT SLAMS PARAMOUNT FOR SETTLING WITH TRUMP, ACCUSES HIS PARENT COMPANY OF OFFERING A 'BIG FAT BRIBE'"Boy, that's a good question," Stewart responded. "You know, unfortunately, we haven't heard anything from them."The late-night host continued, noting that while nobody at Skydance has told him "don't get too comfortable in that office," he's still uncertain about what comes next."I've been kicked out of s---tier establishments than that. We'll land on our feet," he asserted, adding, "I honestly don't know."The late-night host quipped Comedy Central is "kind of like Muzak at this point," adding that his show and "South Park" are the "only sort of life" that the channel seems to have at the moment. The comedy channel frequently airs reruns of shows like "The Office", "Seinfeld" and "Futurama."Stewart began hosting "The Daily Show" on Mondays last year. He hosted the show from 1999 to 2015 before stepping down.The same day Stewart aired his podcast, his friend and fellow late-night host Stephen Colbert revealed that his show on CBS, "The Late Show," is set to be canceled next May. CBS is also under Paramount's umbrella, and some observers claimed the cancellation was related to the pending merger and Colbert's criticism of Paramount settling President Donald Trump's lawsuit against CBS News.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"'THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT' will end its historic run in May 2026 at the end of the broadcast season," CBS said in a statement.

He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television."CBS said it was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night," adding, "It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount."Fox News' Joseph Wulfsohn contributed to this report.

    Dem House leader Hakeem Jeffries still withholds endorsement after meeting with Zohran Mamdani
    After meeting with leading New York City mayoral contender Zohran Mamdani, Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., issued a lukewarm statement through a spokesperson about the meeting and did not endorse his party's nominee.Mamdani, a New York state assemblyman and self-proclaimed socialist who has promised to overhaul New York City and launch massive new government programs, has been endorsed by progressive politicians like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.Despite winning the Democratic Partys nomination over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo by a wide margin, Mamdani has yet to be endorsed by the partys top leaders, Jeffries and Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.Jeffries and Mamdani met in New York City for about an hour Friday.After the meeting, Politico reporter Nicholas Wu posted a statement from Jeffries spokesperson Justin Chermol that called it "constructive" but did not include any mention of an endorsement.AOC WELCOMES SOCIALIST MAMDANI TO NATION'S CAPITAL AS DEM LEADERS WITHHOLD ENDORSEMENTSChermol said "the meeting between Leader Jeffries and Assemblyman Mamdani was constructive, candid and community-centered, with particular focus on affordability."Leader Jeffries and Assemblyman Mamdani discussed a variety of other important issues, including public safety, rising antisemitism, gentrification and the importance of taking back the House in 2026."According to Chermols statement, the two "agreed to reconvene shortly, alongside other members of the New York City congressional delegation and a few high-level community leaders."MAMDANI SPARKS SOCIAL MEDIA FRENZY WITH VIRAL CLIP DISCUSSING WHAT HAPPENS IF HE RUNS OUT OF MONEYMamdani is seen by many as a controversial candidate, partially due to his socialist policy proposals and heavy criticism of the state of Israel. Mamdani, who is Muslim, has declined to say whether Israel has the right to exist as a Jewish state and his initial refusal to condemn the phrase "globalize the intifada." However, he recently began distancing himself from the phrase.On Thursday, Jeffries told reporters "as has been the case with every single high-profile endorsement decision that I've made in the past, I have a sit-down conversation, and then I take it from there."The meeting with Jeffries comes after Mamdanis recent visit to Washington, D.C., where he attended a breakfast hosted by Ocasio-Cortez and mingled with some of the partys most powerful players. Since then, he secured the endorsement of Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., who serves as the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee.BIPARTISAN HOUSE RESOLUTION AIMS TO CONDEMN PHRASE THAT'S CREATED FIRESTORM FOR ZOHRAN MAMDANIMamdani is running to unseat the current mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, who is running for re-election as an independent. He is also facing off against Cuomo, who is running as an independent, and activist Curtis Sliwa, who is the Republican Party nominee.

    Athletics' Brent Rooker responds to ESPN star's list of preferred swing-off participants
    Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker's week kicked off in Atlanta, the host city for the 2025 MLB All-Star game.On Monday, Rooker participated in the annual Home Run Derby. The next day, Rooker was one of the three players American League manager Aaron Boone selected to compete in the All-Star game's first-ever swing-off.Rooker went 2-for-3 in the historic Home Run Derby-style tiebreaker. However, Philadelphia Phillies star Kyle Schwarber scored three points in the swing-off to help the National League win the thriller.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMSeveral notable power-hitting All-Stars were noticeably absent from the unprecedented swing-off. The AL lineup was represented by Rooker, Jonathan Aranda and Randy Arozarena. Schwarber, Pete Alonso and Kyle Stowers stepped up to the plate for the NL2025 MIDSEASON MLB AWARDS: FOX SPORTS FANS PICK MVPS, ROOKIES, CY YOUNG WINNERSThe list of names left some observers puzzled, which sparked some questions about the selections. ESPN MLB reporter Jeff Passan was among those who weighed in on the player selection for the swing-off and offered his preferred lineup."What could have been: Aaron Judge, Cal Raleigh, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. vs. Shohei Ohtani, Pete Alonso, Kyle Schwarber," Passan wrote on X.Rooker offered a rebuttal after he took notice of the suggested list of players."Am I not good enough for you Jeff," Rooker jokingly wrote in a response posted to X.Rooker later made it clear he had nothing against the ESPN star."(Guys I like Jeff Im not actually mad I would pick Aaron, Cal and Vladdy over me too)," the two-time All-Star wrote in a subsequent post.Boone addressed concerns over his player selection for the swing-off, saying each manager was required to submit three names the day before the game. He added that his decision was based on the idea Judge would not be in the game in the late innings."We had to pick our guys yesterday," Boone told reporters. "Wanted to make sure I picked guys I knew would be in the game there and still hot. That was my choice."This isn't the first time Rooker has responded on social media after his name was mentioned in something related to this year's All-Star festivities. The Athletics slugger took aim at a fan who criticized him for giving his child a bottle during Monday's Home Run Derby.ESPN's cameras showed Rooker feeding his 11-month-old daughter a bottle while sitting near the dugout."Hey Rooker did you really need to feed your baby on camera? Sometimes people just want to see you play," a viewer wrote on X.Rooker responded, writing, "Yes, it was necessary to feed my 11-month-old child her nighttime bottle at like 9:00 pm. Thank you for asking."Fox News' Paulina Dedaj contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Americans detained in Venezuela freed and returning home after prisoner exchange
    Ten Americans are returning to the U.S. after being released from custody in Venezuela, the Secretary of State said on Friday."Thanks to President [Donald] Trumps leadership and commitment to the American people, the United States welcomes home ten Americans who were detained in Venezuela," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement. "Until today, more Americans were wrongfully held in Venezuela than any other country in the world. It is unacceptable that Venezuelan regime representatives arrested and jailed U.S. nationals under highly questionable circumstances and without proper due process. Every wrongfully detained American in Venezuela is now free and back in our homeland."Rubio also thanked the State Department, inter-agency partners, and El Salvador President Nayib Bukele."Our commitment to the American people is clear: we will safeguard the well-being of U.S. nationals both at home and abroad and not rest until all Americans being held hostage or unjustly detained around the world are brought home," he added.TRUMP'S TREASURY DEPARTMENT TARGETS DANGEROUS VENEZUELAN PRISON GANG WITH SANCTIONS ON 6 TOP LEADERSHe said the U.S. also welcomes the "release of Venezuelan political prisoners and detainees that were also released from Venezuelan prisons. The Trump Administration continues to support the restoration of democracy in Venezuela. The regimes use of unjust detention as a tool of political repression must end. We reiterate our call for the unconditional release of remaining unjustly and arbitrarily detained political prisoners and foreign nationals."The release is part of a prisoner swap in which Bukele agreed to release hundreds of Venezuelans being held in a maximum-security prison in Tecoluca, El Salvador, in return for Salvadoran prisoners being held in Venezuela.RUBIO RECALLS TOP US DIPLOMAT FROM COLOMBIA AFTER 'BASELESS' STATEMENTS FROM OFFICIALSThe U.S. sent the Venezuelans to El Salvador in March through the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Tren de Aragua members without going through immigration procedures. Many of the deportees families and lawyers denied the gang connections."Today, we have handed over all the Venezuelan nationals detained in our country, accused of being part of the criminal organization Tren de Aragua (TDA)," Bukele said. "Many of them face multiple charges of murder, robbery, rape, and other serious crimes."Bukele added that the "operation is the result of months of negotiations with a tyrannical regime that had long refused to release one of its most valuable bargaining chips: its hostages. However, thanks to the tireless efforts of many officials from both the United States and El Salvador, and above all, thanks to Almighty God, it was achieved. In this, as in other matters, I remind you: patience and trust."The Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs posted a photo of the hostages on social media along with the message: Ten Americans are are their way home from detention in Venezuela! Thanks to @POTUS @SecRubio @usembassyve @aboehler and many others for your support bringing Americans home."Christian Casteneda, whose brother Wilbert, a Navy SEAL, was arrested in a Caracas hotel room last year, said in a statement: "We have prayed for this day for almost a year. My brother is an innocent man who was used as a political pawn by the Maduro regime."Lucas Hunter, whose family said he was kidnapped by Venezuelan border guards in January, was also among the 10 Americans released.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"We cannot wait to see him in person and help him recover from the ordeal," his younger sister Sophie Hunter said in a statement.This comes months after U.S. Air Force veteran Joseph St. Clair's was released from Venezuelan custody in May after being held there for around six months.The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

    Christian university rebranding DEI to evade Trump order, enroll illegals, Tennessee rep says
    Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., is demanding an investigation into Belmont University after leaked recordings of a university faculty member admitting the school has maintained its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives but "just change[d] on how we talk about it" despite federal directives to end the programs deemed by many to be discriminatory.In undercover recordings, the same official can be heard admitting the school also enrolls illegal immigrants and hides that information from external entities, which Ogles suggested could violate state law against knowingly harboring illegal aliens for profit."Belmont University claims to be a Christian institution grounded in Biblical principles, but its administration is injecting anti-gospel DEI ideology into its curriculum," Ogles told Fox News Digital."President Trump has rightly demanded that colleges and universities dismantle the DEI cartel or lose federal funding. Belmont officials, however, have been caught on camera bragging about their clever scheme to rebrand DEI and continue pushing the same radical agenda under a new name."LOVE BREAKING RULES: RED STATE DEAN OUSTED AFTER ADMITTING ON HIDDEN CAM SHE WAS SECRETLY PUSHING DEIBelmont is just one of the latest schools to come under fire for allegedly trying to skirt federal funding repercussions by re-branding DEI programs and policies. An investigation in April by conservative parental rights group Defending Education found that despite the president's executive directives, there are still 383 "currently active" DEI offices and programs with 243 universities maintaining institution-wide DEI offices or programming.In addition to tracking those DEI offices and programs that are still active, the group's investigation also highlighted dozens of universities that have taken steps to rebrand or reorganize their DEI efforts as opposed to shutting them down like others have done. Ogles pointed to Belmont's Office of Hope, Unity and Belonging (HUB), which engulfed the university's DEI efforts in 2022, as an example of how the school has rebranded its DEI efforts."The HUB is hope, unity and belonging. That's DEI. Let's be real," Jozef Lukey, Belmont's assistant director of student success and flourishing, said in an undercover recording cited by Ogles. "We always try to just adapt to what's happening around us. But that doesn't mean, like, what we're focusing on completely stops. We just changed the terminology and the language that we keep moving forward.MAJOR UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER ACCUSED OF HIDING DEI PROGRAMS; INFLUENTIAL SENATOR CALLS THEM OUT"We're always going to keep doing what we're doing. The work never stops. We just change on how we talk about it."After Ogles' public complaints, his office said, faculty and students have reached out to attest to the school's ongoing DEI initiatives. One professor allegedly shared a mandatory form for faculty members requesting to revise or propose a new course, which requires a "Diversity Impact Statement" outlining how the course supports "historically underrepresented populations."Another source, according to Ogles' office, shared screenshots of an email chain showing Belmont intends to keep its faculty DEI committee for the next academic year.Belmont has insisted attempts to portray the school as having a "shadow operation" are wholly inaccurate."We are deeply saddened that these videos portray Belmont as having a 'shadow operation,' as nothing could be further from the truth. Its also disappointing that Rep. Ogles and others perceive such an approach as being representative of Belmont Universitys character and values," the university told local outlet Fox 17.UNEARTHED CHAT SHEDS LIGHT ON COZY TIES BETWEEN JUDGES, CLIMATE ACTIVISTS, RAISING ETHICAL CONCERNSIn a statement to Fox News Digital, the school maintained it is "in compliance with federal laws.""We are aware of comments from government officials and maintain that the university is in compliance with federal laws," a university spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "We look forward to working together with the Tennessee delegation to address any concerns about legal compliance."In an email allegedly sent to the Belmont University community, university President L. Gregory Jones doubled down on the school's compliance with federal laws and argued HUB was established to "inspire the campus community to fully live in light of Christ's resurrection," adding it is not a DEI office even though the university's website described it like that when it was established in 2022. The email included references to counseling services for people who may be feeling uncomfortable as a result of the allegations the school is facing.The school did not respond to allegations from Ogles and others that the school is admitting and harboring illegal immigrants for profit."We definitely have to navigate very carefully and just cautiously just because we just don't ever know, especially with like the ICE raids that are happening in the city that impacts our campus," Lukey was caught saying in the undercover recording."We do have undocumented students here. Yeah. Oh, yeah. We don't communicate to anybody externally who's undocumented, who isn't. And, so, like, yes, we know who it is. Faculty don't really know. How could they? Unless it's indicated in the system somewhere."According to Ogles, such a move could potentially violate Tennesee's Senate Bill 392, which was passed recently and criminalizes 501(c)(3) institutions, known colloquially as nonprofits, for harboring illegal aliens for profit.

    Illegal alien who raped, impregnated his own daughter at government-run shelter learns prison sentence
    Illegal alien Ronald Joseph was sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to raping and impregnating his own teenage daughter while living at a government-run Massachusetts migrant shelter.Joseph, a 44-year-old Haitian national, was living in a government-run hotel in Marlborough, Massachusetts, when it was discovered he had repeatedly raped his own daughter, resulting in the 14-year-old girl becoming pregnant.Though the crimes were committed between 2023 and 2024, Joseph was not arrested until Jan. 31, 2025, when he was charged with aggravated rape of a child and held without bail.In a statement Thursday, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Marlborough Chief of Police David Giorgi confirmed Joseph pleaded guilty to aggravated rape of a child for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old victim. According to the statement, Judge Kenneth Salinger of the Massachusetts Superior Courts sentenced Joseph July 11 to 12-15 years in prison.MEXICAN WOMAN IN US ILLEGALLY CHARGED WITH FAKING HER OWN ICE KIDNAPPINGThe statement said, during the investigation, an extensive ultrasound was conducted, which placed the time of conception within the timeframe when the child and Joseph were living together at the shelter.After the baby was born, mouth swabs were taken and tested from the victim, her child and Joseph, which determined it was 23 trillion times more likely than not that Joseph was the biological father of his daughters baby.According to The Boston Globe, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has also filed an immigration detainer against Joseph. The outlet reported an ICE spokesperson saying that Joseph entered the U.S. in May 2023 without valid paperwork but was granted entry into the country and given a date to appear before an immigration judge.Earlier this year, Jon Fetherston, a former Massachusetts state employee who was running the Marlborough shelter when the crime was uncovered, told Fox News Digital that when he confronted Joseph, the Haitian migrant grabbed and attacked him.A report by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities, obtained by Fox News Digital, further confirmed that after Joseph was informed he would lose access to his daughter, he "got very agitated and started yelling" at Fetherston, stating that "this was all his fault, and he was to blame."DEMOCRATS SPENT THOUSANDS IN CAMPAIGN FUNDS TO VISIT ILLEGAL KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA: REPORTFetherston told Fox News Digital that as soon as Joseph heard he was losing custody of his daughter, he "reached across the table and grabbed me and got angry with me and started cursing and yelling and screaming and swinging at me because he realized what was happening."Rather than arrest Joseph immediately, Fetherston said he was directed by authorities to order the immigrant a Lyft ride to another shelter in Worcester County."I'm going to be honest. The entire experience has shaken me to my core," said Fetherston.After Josephs sentencing, Fetherston told Fox News Digital "the arrest of Ronald Joseph is not an isolated incident," but rather "its the byproduct of a reckless, opaque and mismanaged system that has operated without accountability for far too long."FEDS CHARGE 3 MORE MEN IN MARYLAND MS-13 RACKETEERING CONSPIRACY INVOLVING MURDER: 'REIGN OF TERROR'"Crimes occurring within these state-funded shelters have been intense, frequent and deeply concerning to the general public," said Fetherston. "From sexual assaults to drug trafficking and violent behavior, the state has failed both the migrants and the Massachusetts taxpayers."Joseph is not the only illegal immigrant who has been caught committing crimes while living in a Massachusetts shelter. In December, Dominican national Leonardo Andujar Sanchez, 28, was caught storing an AR-15, ammunition and about $1 million in fentanyl in another state-run hotel in Revere, Massachusetts.CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGEIn May, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, a Democrat who has been critical of President Donald Trumps immigration crackdown, announced the state would be closing the remaining 32 shelters this summer. Healey cited a decline in need for the shelters. A statement by her office said the number of families in shelters had dropped below 5,000.Commenting on the shelter closures, Fetherston told Fox News Digital the plan "raises more questions than it answers."FROM NEW YORK TO ARIZONA, MIGRANT FACILITIES SHUTTERING IN WAKE OF TRUMP'S BORDER CRACKDOWN"Where exactly are these unvetted individuals going? Massachusetts has one of the lowest housing inventories in the country. Are we really expected to believe that after two years of failure to house residents properly, the state has suddenly solved the crisis overnight?" he said. "This isnt policy. This is political gaslighting."Fox News Digital reached out to Healeys office for comment but did not hear back prior to publication deadline.

    Democratic rep claims Mamdani isn't a socialist but an 'advocate' for capitalism
    Rep. Mark Takano, D-Calif., insisted on Wednesday that self-proclaimed democratic socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was not a socialist but an advocate for small "c" capitalism.Takano spoke to reporters on Mamdani shortly after attending a breakfast meeting with him and other Democrats in Washington D.C. where he expressed enthusiasm for the candidates ideas."You know, the overall impression on me was this guy is not a communist," Takano said. "He's not a socialist. Hes an advocate for small c capitalism. And that you know, he really is fighting for the little business guy that's trying to eke out a living in New York. Half of all New Yorkers, you know, get their jobs from small business. And I thought that was a tremendous message."POLITIFACT DECLARES ZOHRAN MAMDANI IS NOT A COMMUNIST IN FACT-CHECK OF TRUMPThough Takano said Mamdani was not a socialist, he later defended the term, arguing that the word has a "different charge" for people under 40."Hes a democratic socialist that he's fighting for small business people, trying to bring down stupid regulations, criticizing Eric Adams for not moving permits faster," Takano said. "It's corruption we're fighting here, corruption that prevents the dynamism of small 'c' entrepreneurs, small c capitalist entrepreneurs. No contradiction there, trying to get buses to run more efficiently and faster. These are all things that are improving people's lives."He hesitated to answer whether he supported Mamdanis idea for city-run supermarkets but remarked that "theres not a lot of difference between the idea of some sort of public-run grocery and a co-op."Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdanis campaign for comment.ZOHRAN MAMDANI'S 'FREE' PROMISES ARE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, YOUNG CONSERVATIVES WARNMamdani has repeatedly referred to himself as a democratic socialist and remarked in June on CNN that he had "many critiques of capitalism."Though Mamdani has refuted the idea that he was a communist, several videos have resurfaced of him repeating and supporting communist revolutionary language.One recent clip that made the rounds on social media had Mamdani openly supporting the abolition of private property."If there was any system that could guarantee each person housing, whether you call it the abolition of private property or you call it, you know, just a statewide housing guarantee, it is preferable to what is going on right now," Mamdani said.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

    Patel touts FBI's dozens of convictions in $250 million Minnesota COVID scam
    FIRST ON FOX: A $250 million fraud scheme that exploited a federally funded children's nutrition program during the COVID-19 pandemic has been described by FBI Director Kash Patel as "one of the worst" in Minnesota history.The FBI director told Fox News in a statement that 70 people in Minnesota have been indicted for their role in the sprawling "Feeding our Future" fraud scheme during the COVID-19 pandemic, which exploited a federal program designed to reimburse states for the cost of feeding children.Conspirators falsely claimed to have served millions of meals during the pandemic, but instead used the money for personal gain. Of the individuals indicted, 38 have pleaded guilty, FBI officials told Fox News Digital. More than a dozen of the individuals are awaiting criminal trial, with the next trial beginning in August."Stealing over $250 million from hungry kids during a pandemic to fund mansions and luxury cars is as shameless as it gets," FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement. "Im proud of the FBI and our partners for dismantling this web of corruption, holding dozens accountable, and sending a clear message: if you exploit the most vulnerable, we will find you and bring you to justice."DEMOCRAT AGS SUE TRUMP FOR 'UNCONSCIONABLE' FREEZE ON $6.8B IN K-12 SPENDINGConspirators charged in the scheme are accused of fabricating invoices, submitting fake attendance records, and falsely distributing thousands of meals from hundreds of so-called food distribution "sites" across the state taking advantage of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's decision to waive, for the duration of the pandemic, many of its standard requirements for participation in the Federal Child Nutrition Program including relaxing its requirement for non-school based distributors to participate in the program.Charging documents show that roughly 300 "food sites" in the state served little or no food, with the so-called "food vendors" and organizations fabricated to launder money intended to reimburse the cost of feeding children.FBI officials told Fox News that the investigation and resulting trials and indictments continue to impact the state, and have already touched off legislative reform in Minnesota.They added that the investigation into the fraud remains ongoing, and that additional charges are expected, though they did not immediately share more details.FEDERAL JUDGE EXTENDS ARGUMENTS IN ABREGO GARCIA CASE, SLAMS ICE WITNESS WHO 'KNEW NOTHING'The next trial in the state is scheduled to begin on August 11."Stealing from the federal government equates to stealing from the American people there is no simpler truth," FBI's special agent in charge, Alvin Winston, told Fox News Digital in a statement."The egregious fraud unveiled in the Feeding our Future case epitomizes a profound betrayal of public trust. These individuals misappropriated hundreds of millions in federal funds intended to nourish vulnerable children during a time of crisis, redirecting those resources into luxury homes, high-end vehicles, and extravagant lifestyles while families faced hardship," he added."We will uncover their schemes, dismantle their networks, and ensure that they are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law," he said.
