    Obama denies Trump's 'bizarre allegations' that he was Russiagate 'ringleader' in rare statement
    Former President Barack Obama denied President Donald Trump's "bizarre allegations" that he was the Russiagate "ringleader," in a rare public statement Tuesday evening.Trump, earlier on Tuesday, claimed that former President Barack Obama was the "ringleader" of Russiagate, calling for him to be criminally investigated amid new claims that members of his administration allegedly "manufactured" intelligence that prompted the TrumpRussia collusion narrative."Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response," Obama spokesman Patrick Rodenbush said in a statement. "But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one.""These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction," Obama's spokesman continued. "Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes."He added: "These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio."Rodenbush's statement on behalf of Obama comes after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently declassified documents revealing "overwhelming evidence" that claimed that after Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, then-President Obama and his national security team allegedly laid the groundwork for what would be the yearslong TrumpRussia collusion probe.OBAMA ADMIN 'MANUFACTURED' INTELLIGENCE TO CREATE 2016 RUSSIAN ELECTION INTERFERENCE NARRATIVE, DOCUMENTS SHOWGabbard said the documents revealed that Obama administration officials "manufactured and politicizedintelligence"to allegedly create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election, despite information from the intelligence community stating otherwise.The new documents name Obama, top officials on his National Security Council, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, CIA Director John Brennan, national security advisor Susan Rice, Secretary of State John Kerry, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, among others.Gabbard, on Monday, sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department related to those findings. Department of Justice officials did not share further details on whom the criminal referral was for.OBAMA OFFICIALS USED DOSSIER TO PROBE, BRIEF TRUMP DESPITE KNOWING IT WAS UNVERIFIED 'INTERNET RUMOR'As for Gabbards criminal referral, Trump was asked which specific figures should be under criminal investigation, to which he replied: "President Obama. He started it.""And Biden was there with him, and Comey was there, and Clapper, the whole group was there. Brennan. They were all there in the room right here. This is the room," Trump said from the Oval Office Tuesday during a meeting with the president of the Philippines. "It was President Obama. It was lots of people all over the place."No other former Obama-era officials have responded to Fox News Digitals request for comment.The president went on to say that his administration has "all of the documents, and from what Tulsi told me, shes got thousands of additional documents coming.""So President Obama, it was his concept his idea," Trump said Tuesday. "But he also got it from crooked Hillary Clinton crooked as a $3 bill, and Hillary Clinton and her group, the Democrats, spent $12 million to Christopher Steele to write up a report that was a total fake report."Steele authored the discredited anti-Trump dossier, which was paid for by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee through law firm Perkins Coie.The anti-Trump dossier served as the basis for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.The intelligence community, at the time, widely viewed the dossier as "internet rumor," but top officials, like Comey, McCabe and Brennan, reportedly pushed for its inclusion in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment."It took two years to figure that out, but it came out that it was a total fake report it was made-up fiction and they used that," Trump said. "The Steele report was a disaster all lies, all fabrication, all admitted fraud."Meanwhile, Trump said "we caught Hillary Clinton, we got Barack Hussein Obama. Theyre the ones. And then you have many, many people under them. Susan Rice theyre all the names."OBAMA OFFICIALS ADMITTED THEY HAD NO 'EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE' OF TRUMP-RUSSIA COLLUSION: HOUSE INTEL TRANSCRIPTS"I guess they figured theyre going to put this in as classified information and nobody will ever see it again but it doesnt work that way," Trump said. "It is the most unbelievable thing I think Ive ever read."Trump added: "Never has a thing like this happened in the history of our country."On July 28, 2016, Brennan briefedPresident Obama on a plan from one of Clinton's campaign foreign policy advisors "to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service," meeting notes said.FBI LAUNCHES CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS OF JOHN BRENNAN, JAMES COMEY: DOJ SOURCES"Were getting additional insight into Russian activities from (REDACTED)," read Brennans handwritten notes, exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital in October 2020. "CITE(summarizing) alleged approved by Hillary Clinton a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisers to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service."After that briefing, the CIA properly forwarded that information through a Counterintelligence Operational Lead (CIOL) to Comey and Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok, with the subject line: "Crossfire Hurricane."Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller was appointed to take over the FBIs original "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation. After nearly two years, Muellers investigation, which concluded in March 2019, yielded no evidence of criminal conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian officials during the 2016 presidential election.Shortly after, John Durham was appointed as special counsel to investigate the origins of the "Crossfire Hurricane" probe.Durham found that the FBI "failed to act" on a "clear warning sign" that the bureau was the "target" of a Clinton-led effort to "manipulate or influence the law enforcement process for political purposes" ahead of the 2016 presidential election.Comey and Brennan are currently under criminal investigation, launched by FBI Director Kash Patel.Fox News' Mike Emanuel contributed to this report.

    Blue state Democratic lawmaker set to resign after felony burglary conviction: report
    A state senator in Minnesota plans to resign after she was convicted Friday of felony burglary stemming from a 2024 break-in at her stepmother's home.State Sen. Nicole Mitchell, 51, will vacate her position by early Aug. 4, the Associated Press confirmed, citing her attorney. She represents State Senate District 47, in the suburbs east of St. Cloud, and is part of the Democratic Farm-to-Labor Party (DFL).She was also found guilty of a second felony, possession of burglary tools.DEM STATE SENATOR CAUGHT ON BODYCAM ADMITS 'I'M NOT GOOD AT THIS' DURING ALLEGED HOME BREAK-INIn the next week-and-a-half, she will reportedly "wrap up her legislative duties" before officially ending her service.Mitchell was arrested on April 22, 2024, and claimed that she had entered her stepmother Carol Mitchell's Detroit Lakes home to retrieve her late father's ashes and other belongings, which she said Carol would not hand over.Police bodycam footage from her arrest shows her sitting in the back of the police cruiser and telling an officer she was "just trying to get some of my dad's things.""Clearly, I'm not good at this," she said during her arrest.During her trial, she reportedly testified that she did trespass at the home, but did not intend to steal anything. Rather, she said she was checking in on Carol, who had Alzheimer's disease.MURDERED DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKER'S HOME BROKEN INTO JUST DAYS AFTER FATAL SHOOTINGMinnesota Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy, herself a member of the DFL, called for Mitchell's resignation upon her conviction."Senator Mitchell has been afforded due process, a trial by a jury of her peers, and that jury has delivered a verdict. I am relieved to see the end of Senator Mitchells trial. The cases resolution brings clarity to the situation," Murphy said. "Senator Mitchell has told colleagues that she intended to resign if found guilty of this crime, and I expect her to follow through on that pledge. Our caucus remains focused on the issues that matter to Minnesotan families and communities."State Senate Republican Leader Mark Johnson is pushing for Mitchell's immediate resignation, instead of waiting until Aug. 4."Senator Mitchell was convicted of two felonies; she doesnt get to give the Senate two weeks notice," he reportedly said. "The only reason Mitchell is still in office is because Democrats needed her vote to pass their agenda and refused to hold her accountable during session."Mitchell did not immediately return a comment request.

    'Worst of the worst arrested in nationwide criminal illegal-alien crackdown: DHS
    The Department of Homeland Security released a statement Tuesday highlighting some of the "worst of the worst" offenders who have been arrested in the agencys nationwide crackdown on criminal illegal aliens.According to the statement, 70% of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcements arrests have been of illegal aliens convicted or charged with crimes. This comes as the agency is facing intense criticism for its enforcement of immigration laws and officers are dealing with an 830% increase in assaults.Some Democrats have accused ICE of targeting innocent, everyday immigrants. In the midst of anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles in June, Rep. Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., accused President Donald Trump and the administration of targeting anyone they consider "undesirable." She also pushed a theory that the president will target U.S. citizens the same way he has deported criminal migrants."Trump, Homan, Miller and this whole regime has waged a campaign of terror against our neighbors, against our families, our loved ones, as they advance their fascist agenda and try to cast immigrants as a public enemy," Ramirez said.ERIC ADAMS RESPONDS TO TOM HOMAN PLEDGE TO FLOOD THE ZONE WITH ICE AGENTS AFTER CBP SHOOTINGWhile the agency has said it will not back down from arresting any immigrants who are in the country illegally, the new DHS statement says that the vast majority of those arrested thus far have criminal charges or convictions.The illegals highlighted in the DHS statement include criminals charged with hit-and-run, aggravated assault, felony menacing, grand theft and drug possession.Olinda Micaela Gonzalez-Ortiz, a 21-year-old illegal alien from Guatemala, was arrested by ICE Baltimore and has a criminal history, including a conviction for hit-and-runin Salisbury, Maryland.Another, Federico Fong-Nunez, a 53-year-old Mexican illegal arrested by ICE Denver in Boulder, has 21 criminal convictions, including burglary, aggravated assault, and felony menacing.ICE TORCHES 'DEAFENING' SILENCE FROM MAMDANI ON CBP OFFICER SHOOTINGJhon Jervis Chavez-De La Rosa, a 21-year-old illegal immigrant fromVenezuela, has a criminal history including a conviction of assault causing bodily injury. He was arrested by ICE in Houston.Two others, Luis Alberto Leonardo Cortes-Rivera, a 34-year-old from from Mexico, and Rureiro Falkao, a 46-year-old illegal from Honduras, were arrested by ICE in Los Angeles and Oklahoma City, respectively. Cortes-Rivera has a criminal history that includes nine criminal convictions, including grand theft, burglary, and tampering with a vehicle. Falkaos criminal background includes conviction for possession of methamphetamine.ICE has also arrested scores of illegal immigrants either charged with or convicted of child sex offenses.In June, ICE arrested 1,361 illegal immigrants in the Houston area alone, including individuals previously convicted of hijacking an airplane, homicide, sexual assault and more. Of those arrested, 32 were previously convicted of child sex offenses, nine for homicide-related offenses, and 16 believed to be gang or drug cartel members. One person arrested by ICE was convicted of hijacking an airplane headed to Key West, Florida, from Cuba.ILLEGAL ALIEN WHO RAPED, IMPREGNATED HIS OWN DAUGHTER AT GOVERNMENT-RUN SHELTER LEARNS PRISON SENTENCEAn ICE Homeland Security Investigations probe in Maryland led to the sentencing of Mark Rice, 38, to 30 years in federal prison and a lifetime of supervised release for having "used his position of authority" to sexually abuse a 2-year-old and produce and distribute child sex abuse material online.In the Tuesday statement, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin commended President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for having "unleashed ICE to target the worst of the worst.""Our brave law enforcement is facing an 830% increase in assaults against them and yet they continue to arrest violent criminals and drug traffickers every single day,"said McLaughlin. "We will not allow sanctuary politicians, activist hacks, or rioters stand in our way of protecting the American people. Our message is clear: criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the United States."Fox News Digital reached out to Ramirezs office for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

    ICE chief warns AI technology could lead to safety risks for agents: 'Fringe organizations'
    Far-left organizations could be using artificial intelligence and other technology to reveal the identity of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Fox News Digital in an interview.Lyons' remarks come as Democrats in Congress recently proposed the VISIBLE Act, which would require clear identification of ICE agents and prevent masking of federal immigration authorities in public-facing circumstances."If legislation passes to try to unmask ICE agents, they are not allowed to wear them, it runs the risk of agitators, different groups, you know, these fringe organizations using reverse technology, AI, to try to dox their families, try to get their identity, their home addresses," Lyons said of the reaction from agents on the ground. "Weve heard elected officials say there shouldn't be any rest for ICE agents or their families."So they're definitely concerned about that. They're also concerned about their own well-being when they go out to effectuate these arrests because now we have to send more officers out into the communities because where we can send four or five to make arrests in the past, now we had to send up to eight or 10 just to protect the four that are making the arrests of one individual."MASSACHUSETTS BILL WOULD FORCE ICE AGENTS TO UNMASKHe added that the safety risk does require more resources when conducting arrests. When ICE was conducting operations in Los Angeles in June, President Donald Trump sent in the California National Guard to the city with the goal of protecting agents and quelling riots. That move was legally challenged by California Gov. Gavin Newsom."The Marines are withdrawing. This is another win for Los Angeles," Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass posted to X Monday.ICE agents have faced an 830% increase in assaults since last year, according to DHS. However, proponents of the VISIBLE Act have said it's nessescary for accountability."For weeks, Americans have watched federal agents with no visible identification detain people off the streets and instill fear in communities across the country," Sen. Cory Booker, D-New Jersey, said in a statement July 8."Reports of individuals impersonating ICE officers have only increased the risk to public and officer safety. The lack of visible identification and uniform standards for immigration enforcement officers has created confusion, stoked fear and undermined public trust in law enforcement."DHS FIRES BACK AT DEMOCRATS FOR 'BEYOND THE PALE' RHETORIC AS ICE AGENTS FACE WAVE OF VIOLENT THREATS"Assault could be anything from resisting arrest where they assault the officers, whether they're kicking, grabbing officers. It could be something as dramatic as what we saw in Alvarado, Texas, where we had local police ambushed with firearms," Lyons said."You saw it during the recent marijuana grow farm raid operation, where we had an individual firing a handgun at ICE officers, rocks thrown at them. It's everything from verbal assault to physical assault to threats of bodily harm, deadly force. It's run the whole gamut."Authorities have charged 12 people in an alleged anti-ICE attack at the Prairieland Detention Center on Independence Day, including ten for alleged attempted murder of federal officers and gun offenses. Reports have indicated that some planning occurred through a Signal group chat, and Lyons noted that this was likely planned by the Dallas area activists for some time.CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGE"Well, the FBI is doing a great job investigating it as a whole organized event," Lyons said. "So, you saw where it was actually organized with social media, where you have organized people in a typical L-shaped ambush where you had escape vehicles. So, without getting too much into what the Department of Justice and the FBI do, there is definitely evidence that this was planned for a while, and it wasn't just a spur-of-the-moment protest. These were agitators focused on assaulting law enforcement officers and assaulting ICE."In terms of facing these coordinated efforts, the director said its a matter of planning and looking at the information available before conducting an operation.ACTING ICE DIRECTOR CALLS MAYOR WU'S NEO-NAZI COMPARISON 'DISGUSTING' AMID INCREASE IN AGENT ASSAULTS"What we're doing is definitely working with all of our federal partners as well as the state partners that do coordinate with us what we use and all the intelligence that we have at our disposal to go ahead and try to find out as much about these groups and as much as about these organizations and these planned events that we can to let our officers and agents know in the field prior to going out," Lyons said."So, we wanna make sure that officers are fully aware of what the situations they're getting into, but we are also making sure that we're properly staffed when we go out."In addition, he said recent funding from the "big, beautiful bill" would be to try to bring back personnel that "retired early" under the Biden administration and look at veterans and officials at the local and state levels who "already have the training" to "beef up" staffing at the agency.

    Prosecutors want Idaho killer barred from contacting victims' families for nearly a century
    Prosecutors have asked a Boise judge to extend the order barring Bryan Kohberger from contacting his victims' families for another 99 years following his guilty plea in the stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students."This Motion is based on the fact that Defendant has now entered guilty pleas to all offenses charged in the Indictment and will be sentenced on July 23, 2025," Latah County Prosecuting Attorney Bill Thompson wrote in a motion made public Tuesday."The current No Contact Orders expire on January 5, 2027, and the State respectfully requests that they be extended for an additional ninety-nine (99) years."READ BRYAN KOHBERGER'S SIGNED KILLER CONFESSIONOn July 2, Kohberger pleaded guilty to the murders of Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20. They were all killed in a 4 a.m. home invasion stabbing on Nov. 13, 2022 at a rental house on King Road in Moscow, Idaho.He left a Ka-Bar knife sheath with his DNA on it at the scene.At the time of the murders, Kohberger was a Ph.D. student studying criminology at the neighboring Washington State University, a roughly 10-mile drive over the state line in Pullman, Washington.BRYAN KOHBERGER PLEADS GUILTY TO IDAHO MURDERSBy the time police arrested him at his parents' house in Pennsylvania on Dec. 30, 2022, his apartment had been cleaned up, and investigators found his campus office empty.Specifics about what police found useful out of dozens of items seized from his apartment, his car and his parents' house have not been made public. Weeks before his trial was expected to kick off, he changed his plea to guilty to avoid the potential death penalty.He is expected to receive four consecutive life sentences with no parole, plus another 10 years, at his sentencing Wednesday.Although he is barred from contacting them, the families will have a chance to address him face-to-face in court when they deliver victim impact statements.

    Higher cancer rates linked to WWII radioactive waste in Midwestern creek
    A Missouri creek has allegedly led to a higher risk of cancer in neighboring residents.Coldwater Creek, a Missouri River tributary north of St. Louis, has been a known radioactive waste site since the 1980s.Researchers have now confirmed that exposure to the creek, which is said to be polluted with nuclear waste from the development of the first atomic bomb, has led to an increased incidence of cancer for people who were children in the area between the 1940s and 1960s.MAN'S DEADLY BRAIN CANCER TUMOR DISAPPEARS AFTER EXPERIMENTAL DRUG TRIALA study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, which was published in JAMA Network, analyzed the data of 4,209 participants who lived near Coldwater Creek.The data was originally gathered for a previous study on childhood radiation exposure.Participants who lived in the Greater St. Louis area between 1958 and 1972 shared their cancer diagnoses, which allowed researchers to calculate risk based on their proximity to the creek.The researchers found an elevated risk of cancer in a long-term follow-up, with those who lived closest to the creek reporting a higher incidence of most cancers.In total, 24% of study participants reported having cancer. Of those, 30% lived less than one kilometer away from the creek, 28% lived between one and five kilometers away, 25% lived between five and 20 kilometers away, and 24% lived more than 20 kilometers away.Corresponding author Marc Weisskopf, professor of environmental epidemiology and physiology at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, commented on these findings in a press release.CHILDREN EXPOSED TO HIGHER FLUORIDE LEVELS FOUND TO HAVE LOWER IQS, STUDY REVEALS"Our research indicates that the communities around North St. Louis appear to have had excess cancer from exposure to the contaminated Coldwater Creek," he said."These findings may have broader implications as countries think about increasing nuclear power and developing more nuclear weapons, the waste from these entities could have huge impacts on peoples health, even at these lower levels of exposure."This study accompanies Congress passing of an expanded version of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), as part of President Trumps Big Beautiful Bill.The act will allow Americans, including Coldwater Creek residents, to receive compensation for medical bills associated with radiation exposure, the researchers noted.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERLocal agencies have become increasingly concerned about cancer prevalence in the area, prompting the push for further research beyond the U.S. governments acknowledgment of the pollution four decades ago.The contamination originally occurred due to the Manhattan Project and Mallinckrodt Chemical Works, which processed and refined uranium in St. Louis, according to the study.The radioactive material was moved out of the major U.S. city and into the more rural area near Coldwater Creek, where it was stored in uncovered drums on the ground and exposed to the elements, allowing contaminants to leach into the nearby creek.The researchers noted that communities downstream from Coldwater Creek had potentially been exposed to the ionizing radiation during recreational activities, such as playing in the creek, and residential activities, like breathing in dust suspended from the soil when gardening.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthThe study did have some limitations, the researchers acknowledged, including its small sample size and reliance on self-reported cancer outcomes.The potential carcinogenic impact of creek exposure warrants further research to confirm the findings, the team concluded.Co-author Michael Leung, PhD, post-doctoral research fellow at Harvard's Department of Environmental Health, reflected on the findings in an interview with Fox News Digital."Our study found that children in the 1940s to 1960s who lived near Coldwater Creek, which was contaminated by radioactive waste from the development of the first atomic bomb, had a 44% higher risk of cancer compared to those living further than 20 kilometers away," he confirmed."Our findings coincide with Congress passing an expanded version of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, and gives further credence to the health concerns of St. Louis area-residents about the contaminated creek," Leung went on."We hope these findings will support public health measures for affected communities, as well as ongoing efforts to remediate the creek."

    Trump declares there's 'strong word' that Kimmel and Fallon are next on the late-night chopping block
    President Donald Trump predicted Tuesday that both ABC and NBC would cancel their late-night comedy shows on the heels of CBS axing "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."In a post to his social media platform Truth Social, Trump said that NBCs "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and ABCs "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" are likely to get canceled following CBS announcing Colbert would go off the air in May."The word is, and its a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone," the president stated.He continued, "These are people with absolutely NO TALENT, who were paid Millions of Dollars for, in all cases, destroying what used to be GREAT Television. Its really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it!"SCHIFF, WARREN DEMAND TO KNOW IF CBS IS ENDING STEPHEN COLBERT'S LATE SHOW FOR POLITICAL REASONSCBS announced last Thursday that it would cancel "The Late Show" next May at the end of its broadcast season.The network clarified in its announcement that the cancellation was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night," and noted, "It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount."COLBERT'S 'LATE SHOW' WAS REPORTEDLY LOSING CBS $40M A YEAR AS CRITICS SPECULATE POLITICS DROVE CANCELLATIONThe news came weeks after CBS and parent company Paramount reached a $16 million settlement with Trump following his lawsuit against the network for how it edited an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of the 2024 presidential election.Colbert was outspoken against the settlement, calling it a "big fat bribe" ahead of Paramount's merger with Skydance Media.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURETrump was gleeful about Colbert's cancellation last week."I absolutely love that Colbert got fired," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Thursday. "His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert! Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show."Colbert responded to Trumps initial reaction during the opening monologue of his show Monday night, stating, "How dare you, sir? Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism? Go f--- yourself."The comic also joked about Trumps Kimmel prediction, stating, "Absolutely not, Kimmel.
