    Kamala Harris back in national spotlight as James Comer floats subpoena in Biden 'cover-up' probe
    Former Vice President Kamala Harris is back in the national spotlight with her forthcoming book about her short-lived 2024 White House campaign, and she is generating a buzz about whether she'll try again in 2028.While politicos are keenly watching Harris for her next moves, she's also being eyed by House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., who is investigating whether top Biden administration officials covered up evidence of a mental decline in former President Joe Biden.Comer all but guaranteed his committee would be contacting Harris during an appearance on "The Ingraham Angle" last week. He joined Fox News Channel just after Harris announced she would not be running for governor of California, as some have speculated, and will instead embark on a listening tour to hear from Americans and try to boost fellow Democrats across the country."I think that thats another great thing about Kamala Harris not running for governor shes gonna have more time to come before the House Oversight Committee and testify about Joe Bidens cognitive decline," Comer said. "So I think that the odds of Kamala Harris getting a subpoena are very high."COMER DISMISSES BIDEN DOCTOR'S BID FOR PAUSE IN COVER-UP PROBE: 'THROWING OUT EVERY EXCUSE'During a recent appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," Harris distanced herself from any immediate electoral ambitions. She emphasized she wanted to hear from all voters, however, not necessarily ruling out a future presidential run."I believe, and I always believed, that as fragile as our democracy is, our systems would be strong enough to defend our most fundamental principles. And I think right now that, they're not as strong as they need to be," Harris said."And I just don't want to for now, I don't want to go back in the system. I want to, I want to travel the country. I want to listen to people. I want to talk with people. And I don't want it to be transactional, where I'm asking for their vote."RON KLAIN DODGES REPORTERS AFTER MARATHON GRILLING IN BIDEN COVER-UP PROBEJonathan Turley, a Fox News contributor and professor at George Washington University Law School, told Fox News Digital the optics of a congressional subpoena would be less than ideal for a potential 2028 candidate."This is a tough question for Harris, who clearly has aspirations to run again," Turley said when asked if he would advise Harris to appear. "The committee can compel her to appear. However, the optics of forcing a subpoena are not exactly optimal for someone who wants to run again for this office."He added, however, that Harris would be a "natural" target for Comer's probe."Harris held a unique spot within the inner circle of the White House," Turley said.But both he and former House Oversight Committee ChairTrey Gowdy, R-S.C., now a Fox News Channel host, were doubtful that bringing Harris in would yield much new information."Is it worth investigating? Absolutely. Is it worth getting her take on it? Yeah. Is she going to cooperate? No," Gowdy told Fox News Digital.The former South Carolina congressman, who also served as a federal prosecutor, predicted that Harris' lawyers would seek to bury any potential appearance in a quagmire of legal proceedings stemming from executive and/or presidential privilege claims."That privilege has been invoked by both parties repeatedly during congressional investigations," Gowdy said."Leaving the names out of it, just for the sake of an analogy, I can't think of an advisor that would be closer to a president than his or her vice president. So, by the time you're litigating the issue of whether or not you can compel a vice president to talk about conversations that he or she had with a chief of staff, with a spouse, with the president, with the president's physician you'll be as old as I am by the time that's litigated."Turley said House investigators would have to be armed with "specific" questions to avoid someone like Harris being able to answer with "a matter of opinion."Gowdy agreed Harris was a "legitimate" witness to bring in and that the issue of Biden's autopen use, particularly for pardons, "warrants further scrutiny."He warned, however, that a potent subpoena comes with consequences for noncompliance."Prosecutors can send cops and have [people] brought in. Congress can't do that. Judges can send the marshals or the sheriff's deputies out to bring a witness in if the witness is recalcitrant. Congress can't do that," Gowdy said. "So your power is only as good as what you can do to enforce it."A spokesperson for Biden declined to comment on Comer's subpoena threat when reached by Fox News Digital.Spokespeople for Harris and House Oversight Committee Democrats did not return requests for comment.

    Amy Bradley case hinges on 'somebody remembering' as investigators hunt for new leads 27 years later: expert
    The disappearance of a recent college graduate from her cruise ship stateroom nearly 27 years ago continues to baffle investigators as a new documentary hopes to breathe fresh air into the search for a woman who seemingly vanished into thin air.In March 1998, Amy Bradley embarked on a Royal Caribbean International cruise with her family for a seven-day trip to the tropics. The 23-year-old had recently graduated from college and was preparing to pursue a masters degree in sports psychology.Her story is now being revisited in the new three-part Netflix documentary series, titled "Amy Bradley Is Missing."PARENTS BELIEVE DAUGHTER WHO VANISHED FROM CRUISE SHIP 27 YEARS AGO IS STILL ALIVEOn the evening before her disappearance, Bradley joined her brother Brad at the Rhapsody of the Seas nightclub, where the pair remained until the early morning hours of March 24. Bradleys father, Ron, last recalled seeing his daughter asleep on the cabins balcony.Bradley vanished about a half an hour later, as the ship was preparing to dock in Curaao.An extensive search for the recent college graduate ensued, but authorities were unable to locate Bradley. The vessel continued its scheduled stops and ultimately returned to Puerto Rico four days later.NEW PERSON OF INTEREST EMERGES IN DOCUMENTARY ON DECADES-OLD DISAPPEARANCE OF IOWA NEWS ANCHORCountless rumors swirled around what happened to Bradley, including theories that she had fallen overboard and drowned, or that she had intentionally jumped to take her own life.Her parents, however, have never wavered from their belief that their daughter was kidnapped and could still be alive, according to the documentary.As the investigation into Bradleys death remained ongoing,Netherlands Antilles Coast Guard Lt. Sjoerd Soethout told reporters she could have fallen from the ships balcony, The Associated Pressreported. At the time, an FBI spokesperson said authorities had "no evidence of foul play," with the case ultimately running cold.MYSTERY SHROUDS CASE AS AMERICAN TOURIST STILL PRESUMED MISSING IN POPULAR TOURIST PARADISE"There is decidedly little evidence of a fall or push, nor would there be," Peter Valentin, chair of the Forensic Science Department at the University of New Haven and a former Connecticut State Police detective, told Fox News Digital. "There would be next to no evidence unless there would be a struggle prior to the push."One year after Bradley's death, her parents filed two lawsuits against Royal Caribbean. The family claimed the cruise line acted negligently in the handling of their daughters disappearance, with Royal Caribbean releasing a statement at the time insisting they acted "appropriately and responsibly at all times."The lawsuits were subsequently dismissed in 2000.Royal Caribbean did not immediately respond to Fox News Digitals request for comment.YOUNG CREWMEMBER MURDERED ABOARD LUXURY SUPERYACHT IN PARADISE DESTINATION"The room was cleaned before the FBI agents had access," Valentin said. "Whether they realized it or not, they de-emphasized the value of physical evidence in that room."Years later, Bradleys family received a set of sexually explicit images of a woman from an adult website based in the Caribbean from an anonymous tipster, further solidifying her family's fears surrounding her being forced into sex trafficking.In the photos, the woman, identified as "Jas," posed provocatively while deliberately covering any identifiable markings, such as Bradleys tattoo of a Tasmanian Devil spinning a basketball.Investigators were also informed of alleged sightings of Bradley.DETECTIVES TRUE CRIME PODCAST HELPS DIG UP BREAKTHROUGH IN CASE THAT HAUNTED FAMILY: DREW AUDIBLE GASPTourist Judy Maurer told the documentary that she witnessed a woman she believed to be Bradley while in a restroom in Barbados, before three men allegedly escorted the woman away. David Carmichael also told filmmakers he may have seen Bradley while visiting Curaao, adding that she was "flanked by two people." Another Curaao sighting was reported by Navy veteran Bill Hefner, who believes he saw a distressed Bradley at a local bar.However, Valentin is skeptical of the potential sightings."Eyewitnesses can become very convinced of what it is they say they saw, even though the forensic evidence makes it quite clear that they could not have seen what they said they saw," Valentin told Fox News Digital.3 CHILLING TRUE CRIME CASES OF WOMEN WHO WENT ON VACATION AND NEVER RETURNEDThe former investigator added that the reported eyewitness accounts of Bradley should be compared to look for similarities."Combine it with other forensic techniques and electronic evidence and it certainly suggests that investigative efforts should be focusing on a particular area," Valentin said.Additionally, investigators previously looked into Alastair "Yellow" Douglas, a member of the ships band who Bradley was seen dancing with hours before her disappearance.Valentin points to roadblocks facing authorities regarding the lack of electronic evidence at the time of Bradleys disappearance.MADELEINE MCCANN SEARCH RESUMES AS SUSPECT'S PRISON RELEASE LOOMS AFTER YEARS BEHIND BARS"Any connection between that musician and Bradley, however fleeting it might be, could be explored through the electronic evidence," Valentin said. "So this really is a generational leap in terms of what were capable of doing now with electronic evidence."Throughout the years, Douglas has vehemently denied any involvement in Bradleys disappearance.While questions still swirl surrounding how Bradley vanished from her stateroom within such a short timeframe, Valentin highlights a potential point of interest in answering what happened to the young woman.GET REAL-TIME UPDATES DIRECTLY ON THE TRUE CRIME HUB"I would have been very keen to know if she was missing a pair of shoes, or did she take her shoes with her?" Valentin asked. "If all the shoes are accounted for, thats an interesting observation because that actually makes it a little less likely for some of the scenarios that were discussed about her leaving on her own accord."FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON XIn 2017, the FBI previously releasedage-progressing images of Bradley with the hopes of igniting new leads within the search.Despite the numerous leads, authorities have never charged anyone with a crime relating to Bradleys disappearance.Valentin suggests the passage of time since Bradleys disappearance could encourage anyone with information to speak up.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"This case is one that I think is probably going to hinge on somebody remembering that they know something," Valentin said. "Because of this case reemerging in the public eye."Anyone who believes they have information pertaining to Bradleys disappearance is asked to contact their local FBI office or the nearest American embassy or consulate."Amy Bradley Is Missing" is now streaming. Fox News Digital's Stephanie Nolasco and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    Trump official unloads on Dems for one egregious felony after another in Russia probe
    Stephen Miller isnt mincing words: the Russia collusion narrative was no political misunderstanding it was "a coup," a "seditious conspiracy," and "one egregious felony after another."The White House deputy chief of staff joined "Sunday Morning Futures" this week, where he unloaded on Democrats allegedly behind the years-long "conspiracy" to undermine the integrity of the 2016 election."This was a coup," Miller declared. "And Im using that term literally."He accused top intelligence officials and Democratic leaders including Hillary Clinton, James Clapper, and James Comey of orchestrating a campaign to topple a duly-elected president.TRUMP DESCRIBES DNI ALLEGATIONS AGAINST OBAMA, CLAPPER, BRENNAN AS 'SERIOUS TREASON'Beyond political motives, Miller claimed the scheme meets legal thresholds for a trio of serious charges."It meets all of the criminal elements of a seditious conspiracy against the United States. It meets the criminal element of an insurrection. It meets criminal elements against the government and the criminal elements of the conspiracy to deprive citizens of their civil rights under cover of law," he said."[It's] one egregious felony after another."And now, he said, is "the time... for accountability."The simmering issue came to a boil last month when DNI Tulsi Gabbard unleashed claims that the Trump-Russia collusion narrative that followed the 2016 presidential election originated with leading Democrats and members of the intelligence community.JONATHAN TURLEY: THE KEY PLAYERS IN THE RUSSIA COLLUSION HOAX, AND WHY THEY'RE SWEATING NOWGabbard alleged former President Barack Obama and members of his administration, including James Clapper and John Brennan, promoted a "contrived narrative" that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to benefit Trump, which led to the sprawling collusion investigation that consumed Trump's presidency. Trump has described the alleged actions by Obama, Clapper, Brennan and Comey as "serious treason."Clapper and Brennan fired back at the Trump administration's claims in a guest essay for The New York Times, writing: "That is patently false. In making those allegations, they seek to rewrite history. We want to set the record straight and, in doing so, sound a warning."The pair continued, "While some external critiques have noted that parts of the Russia investigation could have been handled better, multiple, thorough, years-long reviews of the assessment have validated its findings and the rigor of its analysis," arguing the most "noteworthy" example was the bipartisan Senate Intelligence report on the investigation.Neither Comey nor a representative for Clinton responded to Fox News Digital's prior requests for comment on the matter.Patrick Rodenbush, a spokesman for Obama, fired back at the Trump administration's allegations in a rare statement last month."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," he said in a statement. "But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one.""These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction," the Obama 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."

    DAVID MARCUS: Bring back the Redskins, and everything else torn down by wokeness
    There was a rare bit of good news out of the nations capital this week with a report that the owners of Washington's NFL team are seriously considering President Donald Trumps demand to restore the name "Redskins."It was back in 2020, a year of abject and bizarre societal madness, that the Redskins became the Washington Football Team, and eventually the Commanders, out of concern that "Redskin" is an offensive term. Never mind that poll after poll shows actual American Indians do not object to it.TRUMP FEARS LOOM OVER COMMANDERS EXECS OVER REDSKINS NICKNAME PRESSURE AS STADIUM VOTE NEARS: REPORTIt wasnt just the Redskins. In the wake of the woke madness of 2020, statues were toppled all over the country. Of course, it started with Confederate monuments, which were low-hanging fruit, but soon statues of Christopher Columbus and Teddy Roosevelt were also falling.Perhaps the best, or worst, example was the removal of the Emancipation Memorial in Boston. This was a statue of Abraham Lincoln freeing a slave, erected in 1879, the design of which was literally paid for by freed slaves.The intergalactic hubris of the officials in Boston, who thought they knew better how to celebrate the end of slavery than actual slaves, shows exactly why the memorials and names excised by wokeness must all return.The Left believes firmly that the arc of history bends towards their preferences, and that "social justice" is a one-way ratchet, that their victories cannot be undone. But in fact, there is no reason we have to accept that.What 2020 showed us was that the iconoclastic impulse to destroy the images and symbols of a society is insatiable. No sooner do they ruin one sacred idol than they move onto the next one and the next one, until mothers are called birthing people.Had there been any kind of rational process in 2020 to determine what monuments should stay or go, we might have been able to reach considered compromises on the most questionable: The Cleveland Indians and Nathan Bedford Forrest are not the same.But that didnt happen. Instead, we saw mass hysteria, from the mob, the state, and corporations. Pull down the statues first, ask questions never, was the order of the day.This is why, for Americans to truly heal from the wound that was 2020, not just its avalanche of wokeness, but also the draconian COVID lockdowns that accompanied it, we need to hit the reset button and bring back what we so carelessly destroyed.Five years from now, on a chilly Sunday, with their team losing to the Eagles, Washington fans should be able to say, "Remember how we stopped calling them the Redskins? That was stupid," and know that a wrong has been righted.Likewise, if on a spring day in Gotham, New Yorkers can once again tip their hat to the once-toppled Teddy Roosevelt statue, then they too will know that we are the makers of history, not just passengers along for the inevitable Marxist ride.The urge to destroy monuments and names is nothing new. In Ancient Egypt we call it damnatio memoriae when one Pharoah scratched off the name of a predecessor. In the Middle Ages, we call it Iconoclasm, and it tore apart the Christian faith.Troves of knowledge and artistic treasure have been destroyed by well-intentioned people of the past, who just knew deep down, that they had to protect not just their contemporaries, but all of humanity to come, by destroying what they saw as offensive.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONToday, we have a choice. 2020 was only 5 years ago. We can still restore what was lost, yes, even the General Lee statue in Richmond, and then, perhaps, enter into some rational process to decide what, if any, history we wish to deprive future generations of.The message needs to be clear that when mistakes are made, our society can and will go back. Just as we went back from the "progressive" policy of letting men play in womens sports, we can go back to a time when we respected the past, instead of abhorring and eviscerating it.2020 was a year of almost unfathomable destruction, loss of life, loss of liberty, and loss of historical monuments and names, but often, out of destruction grows renewal, and the owners of, as Trump currently puts it, the Washington Whatevers have a chance to bring that renewal to fruition.So Hail to the Redskins, and the Roosevelts and Lincolns too. Hail to Columbus and his oceans blue. This is our history, and it is time for us to reclaim it.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM DAVID MARCUS

    Texas GOP's new map would move Rep. Crocketts home out of her district, slash Dem seats
    A gerrymandered map proposed by the Texas GOP would kick firebrand Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett out of her own district and likely add more House seats to the Lone Star's Republican delegation.Last week, Texas House Republicans introduced a redistricting proposal that could net five new GOP seats. The draft congressional map, which is likely to change before approval by both state legislative chambers, aims to redraw district lines to include more Republican-leaning areas in Democratic strongholds like Dallas and Houston.TEXAS DEMOCRATS THREATEN TO FLEE STATE AND BREAK QUORUM OVER REDISTRICTING PLANCrockett, who serves Texass 30th Congressional District, which represents a large part of Dallas, has called the redistricting effort "a power grab to silence voters."She has claims that before Republicans unveiled the map, she was asked to verify her address alongside other incumbent Democrat members of Congress.TEXAS MAP FIGHT ESCALATES AS JEFFRIES VOWS ALL OPTIONS TO STOP GOP PLANThe rare mid-decade redistricting effort may also force some Democratic lawmakers into primary battles against fellow incumbents as seats become more limited.For example, if the map were adopted, Democratic Rep. Lloyd Doggett, who currently represents Texas 37th Congressional District in the Austin area, would be placed in the same district as Rep. Greg Casar, who serves the neighboring 35th District, also anchored in Austin.Last week, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries called fighting the proposed map an "all-hands-on-deck moment.""We will fight them politically. We will fight them governmentally. We will fight them in court. We will fight them in terms of winning the hearts and minds of the people of Texas and beyond," Jeffries said last week during a press conference in Austin.Jeffries said that while corporations and universities fall in line with Trump, "Texas Democrats will not bend the knee."COURT SIDETRACKS REDISTRICTING FIGHT IN KEY BATTLEGROUND STATEStanding alongside Jeffries, Texas Democratic Rep. Lizzie Fletcher warned that redistricting efforts like those in the Lone Star State could spread nationwide as part of a broader push to bolster Republican power."People across the country are watching what we are doing in Texas," Fletcher said.

    For this Catwoman, watching Batman and Robins bond grow on set was pure purr-fection.Julie Newmar, who played the feline villain in the 60s series "Batman," told Fox News Digital that Burt Ward was a real catch to play the Caped Crusader's trusty sidekick.
