    Tony Buzbee, attorney who represented Shannon Sharpe's rape accuser, takes parting shot at Hall of Famer
    Tony Buzbee did not expect to be involved in a highly-publicized case with Shannon Sharpe, but when the opportunity came calling, he jumped on board.The football Hall of Famer-turned-national television star was accused of assault, sexual assault, battery and sexual battery. He was also accused of engaging "in the intentional infliction of emotional distress," and his accuser was seeking $50 million in damages.The situation got ugly, with Sharpe calling the allegations a "shakedown," while he and his legal team released sexually explicit messages that the woman had allegedly sent him.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe parties settled last month, and Buzbee said that "both sides acknowledge[d] a long-term consensual and tumultuous relationship."However, upon Sharpe being let go of ESPN as part of the case's aftermath, Buzbee took one more half-hearted shot at the former tight end."I didnt wake up one morning and say, I want to sue Shannon Sharpe. He has no relevance in my life," Buzbee told Esquire. "I actually think hes very entertaining when he yells and screams and talks about sports that hes not involved in. But if I think its a legitimate case, then I pursue it. And I think this is worth my time."CHARGERS ROUT LIONS IN HALL OF FAME GAME BEHIND STRONG TREY LANCE PERFORMANCE IN PRESEASON OPENERBuzbee represented two dozen of the women who accused Deshaun Watson of sexual assault, and all but one of those cases ended in a settlement. Buzbee also represented the woman who accused Jay-Z and Sean "Diddy" Combs of assault when she was just 13. Those charges were dropped, and Jay-Z is now suing a woman and Buzbee.Sharpe accused Buzbee of targeting Black men, but Buzbee dismissed such a notion."I guess a bunch of old White men could say Im targeting them, and a bunch of multinational corporations could say Im targeting them as well I guess you could say I was targeting BP," he said, regarding his lawsuit against the oil company. "If I think its a legitimate case, then I pursue it."Sharpe said that he "really enjoyed" his abbreviated stint at ESPN, where he appeared on "First Take.""I really enjoyed my time at ESPN. It gave me an opportunity to bring my audience that saw me really just grow. They saw me, you know, Lakers in 5 and they saw me say all these funny, these analogies that my grandparents gave me. And I was able to bring that to ESPN, so Im very, very grateful for that."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Bronny James reveals aftermath of cardiac arrest: 'Messed with my immune system'
    Just over two years ago, Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest while practicing at USC.He returned to the court about five months later and managed to get selected 55th overall by the Los Angeles Lakers last summer and got some time on the NBA floor.However, even though it's a couple of years removed from the situation, the 20-year-old still has some lingering effects.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"I get kind of sick easier now. Which is kind of weird, but I think it messed with my immune system a little bit. So, I would have times where I have to sit out, and that conditioning that Im working on just goes away in that week of me being out," James told ESPN recently.James proved he was not ready for the NBA this past season, averaging 2.3 points on 31.3% shooting in 27 games. However, in the G-League, he put up 21.9 points on 44.3% shooting, which was a far cry from the 4.8 points per game he averaged in his lone season at USC.FORMER NBA STAR GILBERT ARENAS INDICTED IN ILLEGAL GAMBLING SCHEME WITH SUSPECTED CRIMINAL FIGURES, DOJ SAYSHowever, head coach JJ Redick thinks that if he continues to work on his conditioning, he's "got a chance to be a really fantastic player in the NBA.""With the defensive pickup points, the disruption, being able to get downhill I think we have all seen these amazing flashes of it from Bronny. And to get to that next level for him, its cardio fitness" Redick told the outlet. "I get that theres a history there of a really scary thing that he had to live through, and I think its tough to push past certain points for him, but hes going to get there. Hes going to get there."During the summer league this year, James averaged 14.3 points, 3.8 assists, and 2.8 rebounds per game.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    7 best low-carb beers that are also big on flavor, according to new ranking
    Move over, hard seltzers. Low-carb beer is making a comeback.Brewers are tapping into a renewed thirst for light beers, which were once marketed mostly toward women and lacking the complex flavors that connoisseurs crave.A rise in health-conscious behavior, especially among millennials and Gen Z, is driving the shift, said Michael Vollmer, assistant director of food and beverage at Chicago's Kimpton Gray Hotel.AMERICAN BREWS CRUSH THE COMPETITION AT 'OLYMPICS OF BEER' WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP"People want to enjoy social moments without compromising on health goals," he told Fox News Digital.Michelob Ultra, a pioneer in the space, saw sales grow over 3% in June compared to the same period last year, even as broader beer sales declined, The Wall Street Journal reported in July.Producing full-bodied, low-carb beers can be difficult, but the challenge has inspired innovation, Katherine Benecke, a cicerone at Treadwell Park in New York City, told Fox News Digital."Brewers are moving beyond the old 'light' stereotype to craft bold, flavorful brews that keep carbs and glycemic impact low," she said.When made well, low-carb beers can be good for anyone, Benecke added, regardless of health needs."They help reduce blood sugar spikes so you can maintain more sustainable energy levels, can aid in digestion and are just generally easier on the gut and on the palate."IS TEQUILA GOOD FOR YOU? EXPERT REVEALS WHAT MAKES IT A 'REASONABLE CHOICE' FOR DRINKERSWhile many beers, like IPAs, ales and stouts, can have as much as 20 grams of carbs equal to half a cup of white rice there are plenty of lighter varieties on the shelves.Men's Health features editor Matt Allyn, a certified beer judge, and editor Ryan Brower, a certified beer server, recently ranked the seven best low-carb options.With 95 calories, 3.6 grams of carbohydrates and 4% alcohol by volume (ABV), the hoppy Dogfish Head's 30 Minute Light IPA combines classic notes of citrus peel with juicy mango and pineapple, the judges said.The judges called Blue Moon's light offering a "unique and impressive" low-carb beer that blends herbal citrus flavors with creamy and bready malts at only 95 calories, 3.6 grams of carbs and a 4% ABV.BARTENDERS' STRONG BUT SILENT MESSAGE TO DRUNK PATRONS SPARKS HEATED VIRAL DEBATEA step up from Garage Beer's standard option, the citrus in its lime version helps round out the light beer, which has 95 calories, 3 grams of carbs and a 4% ABV.Partake's non-alcoholic IPA has no carbs, only 10 calories and a malty taste that competing 0% ABV hop seltzers lack.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERThe Lagunitas Daytime IPA packs a full aroma and flavor into a crisp and thirst-quenching beer, clocking in at 98 calories, 3 grams of carbs and 4% ABV.The judges dubbed Michelob Ultra at 95 calories, 2.6 grams of carbs and a 4.2% ABV the "true king" of light lagers.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyleHeineken Silver and even its no-alcohol counterpart, Heineken 0.0 manage to taste like the "real deal," according to the writers.With only 95 calories, 2.9 grams of carbs and a 4% ABV, it delivers the lager's familiar sweet, bready malt notes.The panel included some honorable mentions: Miller Lite, Miller 64 Extra Light, Kona Light Blonde Ale and Budweiser Select 55.Vollmer said he believes lagers lend themselves best to low-carb brewing and named Yuengling's Light Lager as a personal favorite.Benecke suggested Ommegang Brut IPA, a carb-friendly choice.She said it has an "elegant dryness and Champagne-like effervescence" as well as sour beers like Berliner Weisse and Gose, which can be naturally lower in carbs.

    Linda McMahon pulls back the curtain on Trump's plan to dismantle the Department of Education
    Despite Democrats protesting President Donald Trump's plan to dismantle the Department of Education, Education Secretary Linda McMahon said returning education to the states is a "nonpartisan issue.""I'm not getting push back, because if it were just Democrat states or Republican states that were doing well or doing poorly, that would be one thing, but it's many of the states on both sides of the aisle. That's why this is really a nonpartisan issue," McMahon explained in an exclusive interview at the National Governors Association (NGA) summer meeting.The Education Secretary participated in discussions with governors from both parties at the Colorado Springs, Colo., meeting, and her department announced the release of roughly $6.8 billion in previously frozen federal funds for K-12 programs ahead of her panel discussion with the outgoing NGA chair, Gov. Jared Polis, D-Colo."It's just incredibly important that if we are going to return education to the states, we have to talk to the governors," McMahon emphasized. "What's meaningful to them? How can we work together? This is both sides of the aisle because, clearly, education is a nonpartisan issue."TRUMP ADMINISTRATION RELEASES OVER $6B IN FROZEN EDUCATION FUNDS TO THE STATESTrump signed an executive order earlier this year to dismantle the Department of Education, fulfilling one of his key campaign promises during the 2024 presidential election.McMahon explained that returning education to the states "just means giving them back the part that is now provided by the federal government, and they're anxious for it."EDUCATION SECRETARY LINDA MCMAHON TOUTS COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY'S $200M SETTLEMENT 'TEMPLATE'In a joint statement on behalf of the NGA, Polis and incoming NGA chair Gov. Kevin Stitt, R-Ok., said they were "thankful these bipartisan discussions with Secretary McMahon and other key officials during the NGA Summer Meeting led to the distribution of these education funds," adding that they are "proud our advocacy helped secure this vital support for states and districts."The Education Secretary, the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), explained to Fox News Digital that participating in events like NGA, having discussions with governors from both parties and visiting as many states as possible is critical to understanding America's diverse educational landscape.McMahon said she has already visited different types of schools, from charter schools to public schools, to learn the best practices across the country."Every state does have different needs," McMahon said. "There's no one size fits all, but what I hear with every governor and almost every educator coming in, is what we are stressing, which is literacy."A Department of Education report released earlier this year revealed that American students' reading skills have continued to decline since the COVID-19 pandemic, and their math skills have barely improved.Despite the dismal report, McMahon said "the future for education is very bright" because the Trump administration has called attention to the "Nation's Report Card," which reveals "how the United States doesn't compare all that favorably with the rest of the world.""The president is very keen on making sure that those levels rise, so that the United States takes its rightful place as one of the leaders in education in the world," McMahon explained.And when asked how the Education Secretary would address teachers who are anxious about the dismantling the Department of Education, McMahon said she is focused on ensuring best practices are carried out nationwide, while empowering states to deliver for teachers' individual needs."[Teachers] are working with their school boards, they're working with their principals and superintendents and their governors to have the best policies in their states," McMahon said. "This is a win for teachers because governors are already talking about that teachers should be paid fairly, that they should be allowed to innovate in the classroom, that they shouldn't spend their time doing paperwork and regulatory compliance. They should be able to spend that time with the students.""Let's let teachers teach. This is all good," McMahon explained.

    Kamala Harris scolds 'piling on' against Joe Biden when asked about separating herself during 2024 campaign
    Former Vice President Kamala Harris repeatedly said Thursday she didn't want to be part of a "piling on" against President Joe Biden when pressed about the dynamic of running to replace her boss in the 2024 campaign.During her appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," the host noted that he and others wondered how Harris would be different from Biden, who was forced to drop off the Democratic ticket due to his unpopularity and inability to recover from his catastrophic debate with Donald Trump."That must have been difficult, because you have to differentiate yourself as a candidate, and yet you respect this man who you're still working for at the same time," Colbert said. "What was that like to navigate?""I talk about that extensively in the book," Harris said, referencing her newly announced election memoir "107 Days," which refers to the length of her abbreviated campaign. "You're raising something that you and I both know requires a lot more time than we probably have right now to talk about."KAMALA HARRIS REFUSES TO SAY WHO'S LEADING DEMOCRATIC PARTY WHEN PRESSED BY COLBERTColbert teased her that he and his audience weren't in a hurry, before Harris grew serious."It's an instinct of mine to be someone who does not participate in piling on," she said. "And I was not going to pile on, and I just wasn't going to do that. And there was a lot of piling on at that time, and I wasn't going to participate in that."Harris appeared to be referring to the Democratic ambush of Biden after his health issues could no longer be concealed. Colbert notably didn't ask Harris any questions about Biden's mental decline behind the scenes that has been reported in several books this year.Biden's family is still smarting over the humiliation of him being effectively thrown off the Democratic ticket last year.His aging and cognitive concerns were laid bare during his halting performance at last June's debate with Trump, and eventually the pressure from leaders like Nancy Pelosi and other party luminaries to drop out became too much.KAMALA HARRIS TO PUBLISH BEHIND-THE-SCENES ACCOUNT OF FAILED 2024 CAMPAIGNBiden quit the race on July 21, 2024, endorsed Harris, and the vice president quickly sewed up the nomination and reset the race with Trump. But Harris and running mate Tim Walz were unable to overcome the headwinds of Biden's unpopularity and her own shortcomings as a candidate, as Trump romped to a comfortable victory on election night.Harris' inability to get out of Biden's shadow haunted her during the campaign.Perhaps Harris' most memorable media blunder came at one of the only venues that could rival Colbert's for friendliness: "The View." Co-host Sunny Hostin asked Harris what she would have done differently than Biden over the past four years, to which Harris responded there was "not a thing that comes to mind.""I've been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact," she added.KAMALA HARRIS HAD PROFANE MESSAGE FOR GOVERNORS UNEASY ABOUT SUPPORTING BIDENThe Trump campaign used the moment to its advantage, putting the clip in advertisements to counter the image of Harris as a change candidate. The viral interview was at the center of numerous media postmortems about how she lost the race.That same day as her appearance on "The View," Harris went on Colbert's show and dodged his question as well about how her hypothetical administration would differ from Biden's.

    Crackdown on illegal immigrants voting in DC elections launched by Senate GOP
    EXCLUSIVE: Senate Republicans, led by Alabama Sen. Katie Britt, are gearing up to wield their federal oversight powers to force Washington, D.C., to demand an end to what they call the capitals dangerous experiment of allowing illegal immigrants and noncitizens to vote in local elections.The development follows reports that roughly 400 noncitizens voted in the 2024 general election, with about 100 participating in the primary.Federal law supremacy prohibits state or local jurisdictions from allowing illegal immigrants from voting in federal elections, since a measure by then-Rep. C.W. Young, R-Fla., called the IIRAIRA passed in 1996.However, state and municipal leaders have the ability to allow illegal immigrants to vote in lower-tier elections, and Washington, D.C., is one of several that has.148 DEMOCRATS BACK NONCITIZEN VOTING IN DC AS GOP RAISES ALARM ABOUT FOREIGN AGENTSCongress, meanwhile, has unique constitutionally-explicit leverage over the governance of the District on any matter, including local affairs and the overturning of council-passed laws.Britts bill would prohibit noncitizens from voting in District elections and repeal the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022 which the City Council passed that authorized noncitizen voting in municipal elections."This isnt just about local school boards or fixing potholes. This is about the direction of our nations capital," Britt said.ELECTION INVESTIGATION UNCOVERS ALLEGED ILLEGAL VOTING BY NONCITIZENS AND DOUBLE VOTERS IN MULTIPLE STATES"In the city representing the strongest democracy in the world, the D.C. City Council chose to flagrantly violate one of democracys core principles. This is a slap in the face to every American citizen, whether they live in DC or not, who should be the only voters deciding who represents them in every election and at every level of government."I am hopeful we gain bipartisan support in the Senate for this commonsense bill--it is our duty to protect the votes of hardworking American citizens and those who came to our country legally and took the time and effort to go through the naturalization process. Ultimately, this is about strengthening the integrity of our elections."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPNoncitizen voters spoke to the Washington Post after the last election, including a woman named Ana Lemus who came to the U.S. more than a decade ago from El Salvador.Her daughter, who was 4 years old at the time, said she is voting to help address "wealth inequality and police brutality" among other concerns.In the House, Rep. August Pflueger, R-Texas, is championing companion legislation. While Britts bill so far only has Republican co-sponsors, Pfluegers effort has garnered about 50 Democratic supporters.In addition to Washington, select communities in Maryland, New York and Vermont plus California in certain school board races allow illegal immigrant voting.The first city to allow it was Takoma Park, Maryland, back in 1992.Current Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., helped spearhead that "Share The Vote" effort in the community, which abuts the nations capital to its northeast.

    Senate GOP threatens to 'grind it out' through August as Trump nominees face Democratic delays
    The U.S. Senate is barreling through a number of President Trumps nominees: Picks for the federal bench, assistant Cabinet secretaries, ambassadors.Republicans complain that Democrats are bleeding out the summertime clock, trying to stall the Senate from confirming many of the presidents picks.PROTESTERS CAUGHT ON CAMERA DELIVERING COFFIN TO GOP CONGRESSMAN'S FRONT DOOR IN MOCK FUNERAL PROCESSION"Weve seen an unprecedented level of obstruction and delay in blocking from Democrats. And as a consequence of that, we've had to kind of grind through. And that's what we're going to keep doing," said Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D.Thune blasted Democrats for deploying clock-draining "tactics designed to block and obstruct, the president and his agenda."He noted that the Senate has never failed to confirm any of an executives nominees on a fast track. That includes "en bloc" where the Senate quickly green-lights a swath of nominees all at once. By unanimous consent. Thats where the majority checks with all 100 senators on both sides and makes sure everyone is okay with advancing a nominee or nominees on the floor. However, one objection can tank the entire enterprise. Then theres "voice vote." Thats where all senators in favor holler "aye" and those opposed shout "nay." The nominee is confirmed if the "ayes" are the loudest.EPSTEIN FILES DIVIDE HOUSE REPUBLICANS IN GROWING SUMMER OF DISCONTENTEach of these parliamentary methods are valid ways to "vote" in the Senate. Theyre a lot faster than a roll call vote which could drag on for 30 or 40 minutes. And if everyone agrees to do things quickly, theres no need to burn through parliamentary hurdles which sometimes consume days.The most valuable commodity in the Senate is floor time. And the rules of the Senate often favor the minority party to chew up the minutes and hours to elongate the process and confound the majority.Senate Republicans were determined to rifle through the core of Trumps Cabinet and top nominees in January, February and March. In fact, the Senate confirmed the bulk of Mr. Trumps main nominees days ahead of the mark set by former President Biden in early 2021. But Democrats have slowed down the GOP and the president on other nominees for months now. Thats why Thune says the Senate will "grind it out here and Democrats are going to be here whether they like it or not."The South Dakota Republican added that this was "bad practice" on behalf of the Democrats. And that "what goes around comes around" in the Senate the next time Democrats occupy the White House and the GOP sits in the Senate minority.Senate Republicans discussed parliamentary options to make long-term changes to rules and precedents to speedily confirm nominees. GOP senators also discussed the possibility of "recess appointments" to install some of Trumps picks without Senate confirmation."He's being sabotaged from the deep state from within," said Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., on Fox Business. "I hate to do this to the Senate staff. But we ought to start voting overnight. Just grind the clock, try and grind them down."But then Johnson offered this suggestion:"We ought to be talking about taking a full recess. Not having the pro forma session so that President Trump, if he has to, can do recess appointments," offered Johnson.Hes not the only one."No August recess until the Senate clears the confirmation backlog, with 144 nominees now pending No more pro forma sessions, which allow the Senate to take a recess without triggering President Trumps recess-appointment authority," said Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah.Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, also joined in the chorus."The Senate has 3 choices. 1) fully recess & allow POTUS to recess appoint. 2) NOT recess & do its job. 3) recess & do fake sessions to prevent recess appointments. Only 1 & 2 are acceptable," declared Roy on social media.So what is a "recess appointment?" And what are these "pro forma" and "fake sessions" that Lee and Roy are talking about?In the 18thCentury, the Founders didnt want to hamstring a president in case vacancies in cabinet or other administration positions became open during a Congressional "recess." The Senate must be in session to confirm presidential nominees. And in the 18thCentury, Congress was often adjourned or in recess for months at a time. The Founders viewed recess appointments as "human resources grout," temporarily filling a position in case the Senate was out.Heres how a recess appointment works: both the House and Senate must be adjourned for a period of 10 days. The Constitution requires the House and Senate to have the blessing of the other body to adjourn. And both bodies must vote to adjourn. Right now, the Republican House is scheduled to convene every three days just gaveling in and gaveling out after a few seconds to comply with the Constitution. So there is no way that the House could ever vote to adjourn. Moreover, the House could probably not pass an adjournment resolution anyway. The same with the Senate.A recess appointment, which lawmakers should technically bill as an "adjournment appointment," is only valid if both bodies have "adjourned" for more than 10 days.Former President Obama tested whether Congress was truly in session for more than three days. He made a couple of recess appointments to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and National Labor Relations Board in 2012 during an abbreviated Senate recess. But the 2014 Supreme Court ruled inNLRB v. Canningthat the administration couldnt decide if the Senate was in session. Article I, Section 5 of the Constitution gives both bodies of Congress the right to "determine the Rules of its Proceedings." In short, the High Court held that if the Senate says its out of session, its out of session. Thus, those recess appointments arent valid.On Truth Social, Trump implored Senate Republicans to "cancel August recess and long weekends to confirm nominees."The Senate may stay in session for a while now. But there is some potential recourse for Trump.A president has never "adjourned" the Congress on his own. However, the Constitution presents that option to the president. Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution suggests as much:"(He) may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper."Its theoretical, but theres an argument that the president could claim theres a "disagreement" between the House and Senate and adjourn both bodies. He could then wait 10 days, under the NLRB case, and then install his nominees via a recess appointment.Granted, there are measures in the Senate which could enable the majority and minority leaders to bring the body back into session and truncate the presidents unprecedented move.So the Senate recess for August is unclear. If the Senate is going to confirm Trumps nominees, it probably does so the old-fashioned way. As Thune said, senators will just have to "grind it out."

    Trump ally Bukele's party amends El Salvador constitution to allow indefinite presidential re-election
    Salvadorian President Nayib Bukeles New Ideas Party has paved the way for him to potentially retain power in the Central American nation by overhauling the countrys electoral system.The new bill extends presidential terms to six years and allows for indefinite presidential re-election.The countrys presidential terms were initially five years long and immediate re-election was prohibited. However, in 2021, the countrys Supreme Court packed with justices picked by Bukeles party ruled that the president could seek a second term, The Associated Press reported.Critics said Bukele's re-election in 2024 was unconstitutional.SALVADORAN PRESIDENT RESPONDS TO HUNTER BIDEN'S INVASION THREAT: WHAT IS HE 'SNIFFING'?Members of New Ideas and their allies in the Legislative Assembly used their supermajority to pass changes to five articles of the countrys constitution and passed the measure in a 573 vote on July 31. According to The Associated Press, New Ideas lawmaker Ana Figueroas proposal also included a provision to eliminate the second round of elections in which the top two candidates go head-to-head."This is quite simple, El Salvador: only you will have the power to decide how long you wish to support the work of any public official, including your president," Figueroa said, according to Reuters. "You have the power to decide how long you support your president and all elected officials."Meanwhile, other lawmakers expressed their frustration with the bill, with one lamenting the death of democracy.BUKELE MOCKS ABREGO GARCIA'S TORTURE CLAIMS WITH PRISON HIGHLIGHT REELNationalist Republican Alliance legislator Marcela Villatoro declared to her fellow lawmakers that "Democracy in El Salvador has died!""You dont realize what indefinite reelection brings: It brings an accumulation of power and weakens democracy ... theres corruption and clientelism because nepotism grows and halts democracy and political participation," Villatoro said, according to The Associated Press.EL SALVADOR'S BUKELE SAYS US CANNOT 'FREE CRIMINALS AND THINK CRIME IS GOING TO GO DOWN MAGICALLY'Bukele, who was first elected in 2019, has become somewhat of a polarizing figure as his crackdown on crime has made him popular with voters, while critics worry that he is trying to consolidate power. While Bukeles tough-on-crime policies have caused homicides to plummet, human rights groups say that innocent people were caught up in mass arrests.Human Rights Watch issued a report in July 2024 in which it found that approximately 3,000 children had become victims of the crackdown, which began in 2022. In the report summary, the group tells the story of a 17-year-old girl who was arrested without a warrant and eventually forced to plead guilty to collaborating with the notorious MS-13 gang, something she denied.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPLast year, Bukele told Time magazine that he would not seek a third term, though he could change his tune following the constitutional reforms.

    Video shows Arkansas hiking murder suspect arrested mid-haircut
    Surveillance video from an Arkansas salon captured the moment Andrew James McGann was arrested in connection with the Devils Den State Park double homicide.The footage, obtained by Fox News, captures 28-year-old McGann in Lupitas Beauty Salon & Barber Shop in a light blue polo shirt and khaki pants on Wednesday.McGann was mid-haircut when officers with the Arkansas State Police (ASP) entered the shop and promptly placed McGann in handcuffs, removing the black and white haircut cape in the process.The double-homicide suspect, footage showed, did not resist arrest, as nearby patrons and employees watched in silence.ARKANSAS HIKERS KILLED: WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT TEACHER CHARGED WITH MURDERING COUPLE IN FRONT OF CHILDRENASP arrested McGann at 4:57 p.m. Wednesday. He was charged with two counts of capital murder in connection to the killings of Clinton David Brink, 43, and Cristen Amanda Brink, 41, who were found dead on a walking trail at Devil's Den.Their daughters, who are 7 and 9, were not hurt and are being cared for by family members, authorities said.ASP Director Col. Mike Hagar announced in a Thursday news conferencethat both Clinton and Cristen Brink died from stab wounds. A knife was confirmed as the murder weapon. He also clarified that investigators found no indication the daughters were targeted."It appears to be a completely random event," Hagar said. "We have no reason to believe there was any known association between our suspect and our victims."Hagar noted that McGann sustained "injuries" during the attack. The blood found at the scene helped authorities find the suspect, they said.Hagar said that McGann confessed to the crime and that DNA evidence confirmed his involvement."Although everyone is innocent until proven guilty, we did confirm this morning that the suspect's DNA is a positive match to the DNA recovered at the crime scene," Hagar said. "During an interview with investigators, the suspect admitted to committing the murders. We also executed a search warrant at his residence and recovered items consistent with the crime."ARKANSAS MAN CHARGED WITH CAPITAL MURDER AFTER KILLING PARENTS IN FRONT OF DAUGHTERS AT DEVILS DEN STATE PARKAuthorities confirmed that the suspect has no known adult criminal history. Investigators have not uncovered any prior charges or convictions.McGann was a teacher in a small Oklahoma school district until May and then resigned to take a job in another state, according to a statement from Sand Springs Public Schools.
