Idaho student murderer Bryan Kohberger is facing taunts from other inmates as he adjusts to his new life in prison, weeks after receiving four consecutive sentences of life without parole, plus another 10 years, according to a new report.The 30-year-old former Washington State University criminology Ph.D. student abruptly pleaded guilty to the murders of four undergrads at the nearby University of Idaho last month Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20.The deal allowed him to avoid the potential death penalty which prosecutors said they intended to seek if the case went to trial.BRYAN KOHBERGER TRANSFERRED TO MAXIMUM SECURITY STATE PRISONAccording to the Idaho Department of Corrections, Kohberger is being housed on "J Block" inside the Idaho Maximum Security Institution outside Boise.J Block is a secure housing unit with individual cells, according to the Idaho Department of Corrections. Inmates there are typically high-risk prisoners and are limited to one-hour of outdoor exercise a day and face other restrictions. They get access to the showers every other day."J Block is aunit that can house up to 128 individuals and includes populations in general population protective custody, long-term restrictive housing, and death row," a spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "Incarcerated individuals in long-term restrictive housing live in single-person cells, are moved in restraints, and are provided showers every other day along with one hour of outdoor recreation daily. They have access to religious services, communication through JPay, and can place commissary orders."IDAHO VICTIMS' FAMILIES TO ADDRESS KILLER DIRECTLY AT KOHBERGER SENTENCINGBut while the killer may be physically separated from other lifers, they are reportedly tormenting him to the point where he has complained to prison guards about the abuse, according to the Daily Mail."They are literally getting up into the grate and yelling at him," Chris McDonough, a former detective who is now with the Cold Case foundation, told the outlet. "The inmates are taking it in turns doing it. Its relentless."The account, based on comments from an unnamed "insider" in touch with McDonough alleges that other J Block inmates have "joined forces" to make killer Kohberger's life hell in his cell.BRYAN KOHBERGER TRADED DEATH PENALTY FOR LIFE SENTENCE THAT COULD STILL END VIOLENTLY BEHIND BARS"Its driving him crazy," he told the outlet. "The inmates are tormenting him at night and almost all hours of the day taunting him through the vents in his cell."The Pennsylvania native entered Idaho prison with a target on his back, experts previously told Fox News Digital, due to the notoriety of the crime and the callous selection of victims, whom he had no known ties to."I think hell have a target on his back child molesters, rapists and woman beaters get smashed, and hell be stereotyped like that," Seth Ferranti, a former most wanted fugitive turned documentarian, said after sentencing."When guys with big cases or who were in the headlines hit the compound, everybody knows," said Ferranti, whose most recent project, "A Tortured Mind," explores a mental health condition Kohberger will never have to worry about called post-incarceration syndrome.IDAHO MURDERER BRYAN KOHBERGERS FORMER FRIENDS DIVE INTO KILLERS MINDSET ABOUT WHY HE DID ITNow Kohberger is reportedly complaining to guards that he can't sleep amid all the harassment."He's lucky it's only verbal abuse right now, but what's going to make it a lot worse for him is that he's complaining," Keith Rovere, a former prison pastor, told Fox News Digital. "You can't do that in prison. You stay silent and keep your mouth shut."Otherwise, Kohberger risks becoming labeled a "rat," according "The Lighter Side of True Crime" podcast host."You have a problem with it, you fight back," he said. "Complaining to the guards is ratting. Now they know they're getting under your skin so they're only going to ramp it up even more."And this is just his reaction to verbal abuse, he added."I have no doubt he's contemplating suicide already because he's not even a month in, and he's losing control," Rovere added. "Most serial killers tend to be control freaks. Throw autism on top of that and the chaos that the inmates are causing him is making him lose his mind. And it's only going to get worse."Kohberger, while not fitting the textbook definition of a serial killer, is still a mass murderer who studied serial killers extensively as part of his graduate degree in criminology.The killer is reputed to be lacking in social skills illustrated by what his attorneys called a "piercing stare" and lack of social awareness in court filings. Over the past two and a half years of confinement, he appears to have lost some weight, too.According to documents made public by the Moscow Police Department in Idaho, Kohberger also has a track record of bumping heads with his fellow inmates. On one occasion, Kohberger turned away from a video chat with his mom to snap at another inmate who yelled "you suck" at a jailhouse TV set. Another inmate described him as a "f---ing weirdo" and claimed he would have assaulted him if he wasn't worried about repercussions.Another infamous J Block resident is fellow convicted killer Chad Daybell, who is on death row for the murders of his ex-wife, Tammy Daybell, and the children of his next wife, Lori Vallow Daybell, 7-year-old JJ Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan.There's no indication whether Daybell may have been involved in any alleged harassment of Kohberger.

Adversaries fear of the U.S. military is what makes tough negotiations like the one President Donald Trump is scheduled to have with Russian President Vladimir Putin possible, Vice President JD Vance told U.S. troops stationed in England on Wednesday.Vances comments come as hes spent the past several days meeting with multiple European leaders in preparation for Trumps meeting in Anchorage, Alaska, with Putin in an attempt to end the war between Russia and Ukraine."You guys make that possible," Vance, a former Marine, told U.S. troops stationed at Royal Air Force Base Fairford. "You guys are the reason why we can go into a negotiation with strength. You guys are the reason why we have leverage in these conversations with world leaders. Because they know that if we cut a deal, it is backed up by the finest fighting force anywhere in the world. And that is what makes your job so important."VLADIMIR PUTIN TO RETURN TO US FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A DECADE"The fact that people are impressed by you, the fact that so many people are frankly afraid of you is why we're able to do what we do as an administration," Vance said.Royal Air Force Base Fairford is home to the U.S. Air Forces 501st Combat Support Wing and the 99th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron. It is also paramount for U.S. Air Force operations and serves as Air Force Global Strike Command's preferred bomber forward operating base in Europe.The Air Force routinely sends bomber aircraft to the military base as part of Bomber Task Force Europe 25-2 to train with NATO allies. For example, multiple Air Force B-52H Stratofortress bombers from Fairford participated in an exercise with Germany and Romania over NATOs eastern flank in March 2022 just after Putin launched his invasion into Ukraine.Roughly 10,000 U.S. troops are based in the U.K., according to foreign policy think-tank Council on Foreign Relations.Vance told troops that he had just wrapped up a call with approximately 30 European leaders, coming on the heels of various meetings with other European allies about Ukraine talks in recent days.SUMMIT WITH PUTIN SET TO TOP TRUMPS AGENDA THIS WEEK AS UKRAINE WAR TAKES CENTER STAGEA Saturday meeting with representatives of Ukraine and other European allies led to "significant progress" on ending the conflict in Ukraine, a U.S. official told Fox News Digital. More details on the discussions were not available.But Vance said in a Sunday interview that he informed European leaders the U.S. is "done with the funding of the Ukraine war business," and that they must take on more of the burden in resolving the war."What we said to Europeans is simply, First of all, this is in your neck of the woods. This is in your back door. You guys have got to step up and take a bigger role in this thing, and if you care so much about this conflict, you should be willing to play a more direct and a more substantial way in funding this war yourself," Vance told Fox News Sunday.Trump told reporters Monday that hed be able to tell almost instantly if Putin is serious about negotiating a deal or not, and that hed keep European leaders like Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the loop after the meeting."If its a fair deal, I will reveal it to the European Union leaders and the NATO leaders and also to President Zelenskyy," Trump said. "I may say, Lots of luck, keep fighting, or I may say we can make a deal."TRUMP, PUTIN WILL HOLD FIRST IN-PERSON MEETING SINCE UKRAINE INVASION NEXT WEEK IN ALASKA

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and President Donald Trump's sons are sounding the alarm on New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdanis candidacy as the progressive socialist candidate climbs in the polls."This is a Bolshevik type of group, and I say that with intentionality because they're radical," Kirk said of Mamdani's inner circle Wednesday on "Fox & Friends," drawing comparison to the revolutionary group that took over Russia in 1917 and overthrew the existing government."This is not part of the Democrat establishment," he added. "They want to go even further than what Zohran Mamdani has talked about."MAMDANI'S FAILURE TO WALK BACK THESE POSITIONS COULD CAUSE RECKONING IN DEMOCRATIC PARTY: 'FIVE-ALARM WARNING'A New York Times report from Tuesday homed in on the Democratic nominee's inner circle, a team built around progressive ideals like free buses and rent freezes.Many of the ideas have been crafted with help from young advisors who share Mamdani's Democratic Socialists of America roots.Kirk said the team's makeup signals that the Democratic Partys progressive base is ready to "roar" after nearly a decade of being sidelined by the establishment.At the same time, polling suggests Mamdani is likely to crush the competition, comprised of Republican Curtis Sliwa as well as incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who are both running as independents.ZOHRAN MAMDANI'S 'FREE' PROMISES ARE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, YOUNG CONSERVATIVES WARNIn a Siena College poll released Tuesday, Mamdani held a 19-point lead over Cuomo (44% and 25%, respectively), followed by Sliwa (12%) and Adams (7%).Donald Trump, Jr. and Eric Trump also weighed in on Mamdani, Wednesday, reacting to his anti-Trump tour through the boroughs."This is a city, these are the markets, this is the New York Stock Exchange, this is the Nasdaq," said Eric Trump. "This is the epitome of capitalism around the world, and the guy's coming out and actively saying that he wants to shut down capitalism. It's the antithesis of what New York City is."Donald Trump, Jr. warned that Mamdanis economic proposals particularly higher taxes on top earners would drive wealth and jobs out of the city, taking much of the tax base with them."You lose 10,000, 15,000 of those ultra-high net-worth individuals, this city is in serious trouble, and no amount of free stuff being promised is going to actually help it" he warned."If he wins, he's going to be great for the rest of the country in the future. Because New York City is going to go through some really hard times, and people are going to stop playing with this ridiculous experiment of communism and socialism that has not worked anywhere else in the world."Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani's campaign for comment but did not receive a reply in time for publication.

Many questions remain about the mysterious death of a rising Irish fashion entrepreneur who appeared to be living the American dream before she was found dead on a boat docked at an exclusive yacht club in Montauk, New York, more than a week ago.Martha Nolan, a 33-year-old swimwear designer with the up-and-coming East X East, became unresponsive on the vessel at around midnight between Aug. 4 and Aug. 5 at the private Montauk Yacht Club on the eastern tip of Long Island, police said.The owner of the vessel, a man in his 60s who was reportedly naked when he raised the alarm, frantically ran along the dock looking for neighbors to help resuscitate her, one witnesstold 27East, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.WOMAN FOUND DEAD ON YACHT SPARKS SCRUTINY OF MONTAUKS PARTY SCENE AND RISING WEALTHLess than 48 hours after Nolans sudden death, police ruled out foul play and the cause of death remains inconclusive pending toxicology results.The Suffolk County Police Department told Fox News that it has not released additional information since last week, following reports that police are investigating the death as a suspected drug overdose.

Its unclear what Nolans relationship was to the boat owner. Some reports indicate that he was an investor in her business.Additionally, she was in the process of finalizing a divorce from her husband, Sam Ryan, per documents viewed by Fox News Digital.

Police have not said whether anything suspicious was found on the vessel and have not suggested that any illegal activity occurred on the boat."The question I want to know is, when they swept through this vessel, did they encounter any trove of drugs in there?" Morgan said. "And it doesnt have to be huge packages Im talking about baggies of things, anything indicative of current or long-standing drug abuse syringes, coke spoons scales if youre looking at a wider operation.""You hear the story of an individual alerting the rest of the public, and hes nude and hes running outside of the boat screaming I gotta tell you, man, Ive got questions."Renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden told Fox News Digital previously that authorities in Suffolk County should know the cause of death "within a week," pending toxicology results.In addition to her personal legal disputes, Nolan was also involved in legal conflicts related to her business dealings.According to a 2022 civil lawsuit filed by Out East Accessories Inc.,viewed by Fox News Digital, she was accused of being terminated for cause in late 2021 and then stealing $34,000 from the companys bank account and its entire inventory of luxury eyewear.According to the court filing, she and another individual "ransacked Out East," sold or gifted the products without authorization, and caused irreparable financial harm to the business.

President Donald Trump recently renewed calls for a territorial land swap between Russia and Ukraine a geopolitical maneuver that, if pursued, could grant Moscow control over some of Ukraines most strategic and resource-rich regions.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has firmly rejected any proposal that would allow Russia to retain control of its occupied territory in the war-weary country.ZELENSKYY WONT CEDE TERRITORY FOR PEACE DEAL AHEAD OF TRUMPPUTIN SUMMITRussia currently occupies approximately one-fifth of Ukraines territory, primarily in the eastern and southeastern regions, including large swaths of Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson.These areas have been under partial or full Russian control at various points over the course of the Kremlins three-and-a-half-year war.Russia also holds Crimea, Ukraine's southern peninsula, which it annexed in 2014. The seizure of Crimea triggered a wave of international sanctions and led to Russias expulsion from the Group of Eight."The land that Russia currently occupies in Ukraines south and east is rich in various natural resources," said David Salvo, the managing director of the Alliance for Securing Democracy at German Marshall Fund."Should Russia keep that land, theyd be stealing vast quantities of critical minerals and other key economic assets. This includes important commodities on the global market, like lithium, coal, and gas," added Salvo, who previously served as the deputy secretary of states policy advisor for Europe, Eurasia and international security issues.This strategic importance is underscored by a warning from the Institute for the Study of War, a non-partisan, nonprofit research organization based in Washington, D.C., which cautions that Russia could exploit rare-earth mineral deposits in occupied Ukraine and sell them to China.ZELENSKYY THANKS NATO, EUROPEAN LEADERS FOR BACKING HIS PUSH TO JOIN TRUMPPUTIN SUMMIT"Russias access to minerals in occupied Ukraine will likely augment the People's Republic of China's ability to access Ukraines minerals," the Institute for the Study of War wrote in a statement to Fox News Digital, adding that Russia has previously worked with China to extract these commodities around the globe since at least 2005."The U.S.Ukraine mineral deal signed in April 2025 will only be effective if U.S. and Ukrainian companies can access those resources," the statement from the Institute for the Study of War went on to say, noting the challenge given that Russian forces currently hold territory containing significant deposits.Salvo said that Russia's occupation of Ukrainian territory along the Black Sea not only restricts Ukraines sea-based exports, but also grants Moscow control over valuable offshore gas reserves.Salvo also estimates that Ukraine, historically known as Europe's breadbasket, stands to lose billions of dollars in grain export value."Ukraines economy would survive, but it would undoubtedly lose in the hundreds of billions," Salvo said.Before Russia's full-scale invasion, agriculture was Ukraines third-largest economic sector, contributing nearly 11% of GDP and employing about 2.5 million people, according to a 2024 European Parliament report.According to the latest review from the Kyiv School of Economics, the Ukrainian agriculture industry has sustained approximately $80 billion in damages and losses.The group also projects that the countrys economy will shrink by 45%, while disrupted grain exports and ongoing destruction of its agricultural sector threaten millions worldwide with hunger.
