    Harvard and Trump administration close to $500 million settlement: report
    The Trump administration and Harvard University are reportedly close to reaching a settlement of $500 million, according to The New York Times."Negotiators for the White House and the university have made significant progress in their closed-door discussions over the past week, developing a framework for a settlement to end their monthslong battle," the Times reported.The Times also reported that President Donald Trump and senior Harvard officials need to sign off on the terms of the deal, as both sides are still in discussions.TRUMP ADMINISTRATION DEMANDS $1B SETTLEMENT FROM UCLA OVER CAMPUS ANTISEMITISM CLAIMS"But under the framework coming together, Harvard would agree to spend $500 million on vocational and educational programs and research, three of the people said. That figure, currently penciled in to be paid out over years, would meet a demand from President Trump that Harvard spend more than double what Columbia University agreed last month to pay. It would also satisfy Harvards wish that it not pay the government directly, as Columbia is doing," the report stated.Earlier this year, the Trump administration froze $2.2 billion in funding to the university and threatened to revoke itstax-exempt status due to the Ivy League school's alleged failure to address antisemitism on campus.EDUCATION SECRETARY LINDA MCMAHON TOUTS COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY'S $200M SETTLEMENT 'TEMPLATE'The Department of Educations Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism released a statement on May 13, announcing a cut of $450 million in grants from the university, citing that Harvard has "repeatedly failed to confront the pervasive race discrimination and antisemitic harassment plaguing its campus," in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack against Israel.Harvard hit back with a lawsuit over the funding freeze, claiming it was unlawful.The Times report came after Trump settled with Columbia over the institution's handling of protests and antisemitism on campus.The Columbia settlement includes $200 million over three years for alleged discriminatory practices and $21 million to settle claims of discrimination against Jewish faculty.CLICK HERE FOR THE LATEST MEDIA AND CULTURE NEWSThe White House called it the largest antisemitism-related settlement in U.S. history. Columbia confirmed the dollar amounts, but characterized the deal differently. Columbia's settlement with the Trump administration is laying the groundwork for a culture of accountability, Education Secretary Linda McMahon said in an interview with Fox News Digital last week."This agreement is going to be an excellent template for other universities to be able to use as well," McMahon said.Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and Harvard for comment but did not immediately receive a response.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

    Aaron Rodgers calls new NFL helmet a 'damn spaceship' amid ongoing equipment struggles
    Aaron Rodgers still has a bone to pick with the NFL as he still cant find a helmet he likes to wear on the field.The four-time MVP quarterback loved his Schutt Air XP Pro Q11 LTD, but it no longer meets league safety standards.As a result, Rodgers had to choose a different helmet.

    DEA head says phone calls are coming from 'all over the country from fed agents wanting to help in DC
    Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) head and new overseer of D.C. police Terry Cole outlined the Trump administratin's "unified effort" for reducing violent crime in the nations capital after meeting with the police chief Tuesday."We cannot afford to turn a blind eye," Cole told "The Story." "We have tremendous cooperation, tremendous intel sharing, and what's most encouraging, the police are looking forward to doing their job again."FBI DIRECTOR KASH PATEL BACKS TRUMP'S DC POLICE TAKEOVER: 'WHEN YOU LET GOOD COPS BE COPS, THEY DELIVER'President Donald Trump federalized Washington, D.C.s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) Monday, enabling federal agencies and the National Guard to supervise local police but not make arrests themselves. On Monday night, 850 National Guard officers patrolled the streets of the capital.Cole touted the arrests that followed Trumps "Liberation Day" announcement."Just in the last two days, we've had 60 arrests that are very impactful. We've taken 17 firearms off the streets. Last night, we arrested somebody that was wanted for a murder," he shared.TRUMP CLAIMS DC CRIMES TROUNCE STATS FROM NOTORIOUSLY VIOLENT CITIES WORLDWIDEThe DEA administrator went on to clarify how federal agents will work "hand in hand" with MPD."Starting tonight, we will be embedded with the Metropolitan Police Department," Cole announced. "You will also see an increase of activity, patrol activity in certain sectors, to go after the violent criminal offenders that are the drivers of this crime."MSNBC HOST REVEALS DC JOURNALIST PRIVATELY SHARED CONCERNS ABOUT CRIME WHILE PUBLICLY DENOUNCING TRUMP'S PLANAs Democratic critics of the federal takeover cite statistics of violent crime being at a "30-year low" in the nations capital, Cole insists people "do not feel safe," and police officers "do not feel empowered."It is "frustrating" for police to come across repeat youth offenders with guns, Cole lamented. While the Trump administration would need to "change the code" to hold even juveniles accountable, Cole said federal agents are eager to help support D.C.'s law enforcement. "I think that there's a lot of dynamics with the D.C. City Council that are concerning," Cole noted. "I've been receiving phone calls from all over the country of other federal agents that wanna fly in and help. They wanna be part of making D.C. safe again."

    Trump's DC public safety sweep results in 23 arrests including murder suspect on opening day
    On the first day of President Donald Trumps crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., federal and local authorities arrested 23 people, including suspects wanted for murder, gun offenses and other crimes.FBI Director Kash Patel, who endorsed Trumps plans to take over the Metropolitan Police Department and tackle crime in the nation's capital, provided an update on the efforts in a post on X Tuesday evening."On the first big push of FBI supporting @POTUS @realDonaldTrump initiative to make DC safe again, FBI reported 10 arrests with partners," the director wrote.He said the 10 arrests included one for a search warrant on a prior murder charge.I SUPPORT TRUMP TAKING CONTROL OF DC POLICE THE CONSTITUTION IS ON HIS SIDEThe other arrests involved unlawful possession of firearms, outstanding warrants for driving under the influence, and one arrest for violating a restraining order."These are just a few examples we are just getting started. Federal partners joined local police and arrested 23 in total," Patel wrote. "When you let good cops be cops they can clean up our streets and do it fast. More to come. Your nations Capital WILL be safe again."On Monday, Trump said he would federalize the police department and place it under the authority of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi in an effort to address crime. He also said he was activating approximately 800 National Guard troops to "reestablish law, order and public safety" in the capital.FBI DIRECTOR KASH PATEL BACKS TRUMP'S DC POLICE TAKEOVER: 'WHEN YOU LET GOOD COPS BE COPS, THEY DELIVER'Democrats and local officials criticized the Trump administration for taking over law enforcement efforts in DC, saying the move is part of a power grab.Washington D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser called the move "unsettling and unprecedented."The District of Columbia Home Rule Act allows Trump to place the city's police department under federal control for up to 30 days. Bowser noted that granting D.C. statehood, an issue local officials have repeatedly advocated for, could have prevented the takeover."If people are concerned about the president being able to move the National Guard into our city, the time to do that would have been when the Congress had a bill that it could have given control of the D.C. National Guard to D.C.," she said. "So, there are things that, when a city is not a state, and not fully autonomous, and doesnt have senators, that the federal government can do."TRUMP'S PLAN TO DEPLOY NATIONAL GUARD IN DC SPARKS BACKLASH FROM RESIDENTSBUT SOME WELCOME ITStill, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro told reporters during a press conference on Tuesday afternoon that she wanted to get a sense of what was happening in D.C. and asked for the number of teens who have been shot and killed by gunfire.She shared a poster with several victims who were shot in 2024, all under the age of 20, noting that 29 individuals were shot and killed in the district, some as young as 3-years-old. Pirro also showed a poster of those under the age of 20 who were shot and killed in 2025, which totaled 16 victims."What this makes clear to me is that there is a whole community that is suffering because of the violent crime in this district, and anyone who wants to tell me that crime is down and that we dont need an emergency focus on crimes of violence, all they need to do is take a look at this and talk to the loved ones and the family members of these individuals who were shot and killed under the age of 20," Pirro said."I don't know how many of these cases have been solved, but what I can tell you is, again, it's guns on the streets. It's individuals who are not concerned about accountability, who don't have any reason to fear law enforcement," she continued. "I am here today to tell you that on behalf of all of these victims, all of these families, that they're going to be accountable, that we are going to make a difference, and that we are going to make sure that law enforcement is focused on these innocent, now silent victims of crime in the district."Fox News Digitals Louis Casiano contributed to this report.

    Mamdani pressed on pledge to be Trump's 'worst nightmare' and landlord pushback on rent freeze plan
    New York City socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was pressed Tuesday on his pledge to be President Trump's "worst nightmare" along with his plan to freeze rent, which has been criticized by many landlords in the city."What I've said time and again is I will not take a reflexive approach in refusing to speak to any one person, depending on their politics," Mamdani told Fox News National Correspondent Brian Llenas at a Tuesday press conference when asked about his previous claim that his administration will be Trump's "worst nightmare" and if that threat rings hollow given the amount of federal power and funding the president yields."I am looking to work with anyone so long as it's to the benefit of New Yorkers," Mamdani continued. "That's the distinction between myself and Andrew Cuomo. One of many is that he called Donald Trump not on the question of how can we serve New York City, not on the question of how can we protect this city from these cuts, but rather, how could we work together to subvert the will of Democratic primary voters?"Llenas followed up by asking how voters can be assured Mamdani won't be reflexive and can work with the White House, given he is currently on a press tour across the city's five boroughs specifically attacking Trump.MAMDANI'S PAST 'VISCERAL DISDAIN' FOR POLICE 'SCARES A LOT OF NEW YORKERS' FOR GOOD REASON: NYC CRIME EXPERT"What this tour is reflective of is the fact that Donald Trump is attacking this city," Mamdani answered. "It's attacking its people. It's attacking the very fabric of what we call home. And we've spoken about it in a fiscal sense, in terms of what it will mean to steal food from the hungry, what it will mean to throw sick people off of their insurance, what it will mean to make it even more difficult to afford the city. And so, yes, this is a tour against the Trump administration's attack on New York City voters."Mamdani added that if Trump "wants to pick up the phone" to work on issues like cheap groceries that he is "willing to work with him on that" but it cannot be a "partnership at the expense of the people in the city."Mamdani has faced strong criticism, including from New York Apartment Association CEO Kenny Burgos in a recent interview with Fox News Digital, about his plan to "freeze" rent in the city for some New Yorkers.CUOMO FLIPS SCRIPT ON MAMDANI FOR OWNING PROPERTY IN UGANDA DESPITE ITS ANTI-LGBT LAWS: 'SILENCE IS VIOLENCE'Mamdani was asked what he would say to those who argue rent freezes keep housing supply lower while denying landlords and builders the necessary funds to build more housing or maintain their properties, a concern echoed by Burgos in his comments to Fox News Digital."The rent freezes that we're speaking about, these are rent freezes that have already taken place in New York City," Mamdani answered. "They happened three times under the previous administration. The issues that we're having of housing supply, these are long-term issues in New York City, some of which have to do with politics and policy. Some of which also have to do with process.""And these are critically important for us to confront as the leaders of this city, because what we are seeing is a vacancy rate that is so low that it is suffocating the city's ability to continue to grow and ensure that we can welcome more people here."Mamdani continued by saying what he has "heard from landlords" is primary concerns about insurance."The fact that insurance has doubled in recent years and I see an example in a number of those landlords coming together to create their own insurance entity," Mamdani said. "I may butcher the name, but Milford Street Captive, which has managed to reduce insurance costs, that's something that the city can build upon with more significant investment.""I've also heard from these same landlords that an issue they have is not that a tenant cannot afford the 3 or 4 or 5% increase that the Rent Guidelines Board is passing, as per the directive from Eric Adams. It's that there are some tenants who can't afford their rent at all," Mamdani said.Mamdani went on to call for more rent vouchers, saying that there are "so many" New Yorkers living in rent-stabilized housing that can benefit from CityFHEPS."That could actually increase the amount of money that these landlords take home in rent, but the city hasn't paid enough," Mamdani said."Those previous rent freezes were temporary, were they not?," Mamdani was pressed by Llenas."I've spoken about a four-year rent freeze," Mamdani responded before moving on to the next question.

"Like it's there that anxiety that I thought I'd moved past that day that I got my citizenship. I thought it would be gone then."MIGRANT SEX CRIME SURGE IN MAJOR US CITY TIED TO BIDENS OPEN BORDER, MEXICO SAFE HAVEN: FORMER JUDGE"I didn't feel that, like the relief didn't feel enough," he added.The British host of HBO's "Last Week Tonight" mentioned how, back when he was on Comedy Centrals "The Daily Show", he used to feel as though America was his home despite not having his citizenship. He said being in that state generated real tension within him."And it was incredibly tense," he said. "That immigration experience is tough even if you have the best version of it. And theres no doubt, I had the best version of it. I had like Viacom lawyers at that point when I was with The Daily Show."WORST OF THE WORST SNARED: ICE NABS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS CONVICTED OF HORRIFIC CRIMESHe continued: "Then I finally got my citizenship in 2019, at the end of 2019. But I realized I thought about it every day. Somewhere in the back of my head was my immigration status. At no point was it not somewhere in my mind."Lewinsky mentioned she could empathize in a small way with those being "hunted" by immigration authorities thanks to her experience as a woman who was hounded by the press following her affair with former President Bill Clinton."I've had a sense of understanding a tiny, tiny bit that I empathize with the immigrants who are going through the crisis right now. Right? ICE f------." She said. "Yeah. And just of feeling hunted, like, of feeling unsafe, of like, something could happen at any moment."Lewinsky added, "Now, for me, the hunting was the consequences of that were nowhere near what they're suffering."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREOliver added that Trumps immigration polices do "feel personal" to him."Its one of the things I get really mad about," he declared.
