    Former Kroger CEO must explain reason for resignation to court in pop star Jewel's ongoing lawsuit
    Krogers former CEO has been ordered by a judge in Ohio to explain his abrupt resignation from the grocery store chain earlier this year in an unrelated lawsuit that involves pop star Jewel.The "You Were Meant for Me" singer and a business partner sued Kroger over its involvement in launching the companys Wellness Festival and are seeking damages over contractual disputes, according to Fortune.In their lawsuit, they say the reason for Rodney McMullens resignation in March could be pertinent to their case "regarding his credibility and relevant to the existence of an allegedly corrupt corporate culture at Kroger," court documents dated Aug. 1 and obtained by Fox News Digital said.JEWEL DEFENDS RFK JR. MAHA BALL PERFORMANCE, SAYS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WILLING TO HELP ON MENTAL HEALTH CRISISMcMullens lawyers had argued that requiring him to disclose why he resigned would be "irrelevant" to the case and personally "embarrassing" and sought a protective order, but Judge Christian A. Jenkins ordered him to submit his reasons for resigning in writing, which will be privately reviewed by the judge.In Krogers press release this year announcing McMullens resignation, the company said that while his behavior was "unrelated to the business, his personal conduct was inconsistent with Krogers Policy on Business Ethics," according to court documents."Based on this, it is plausible that this evidence could reflect on Mr. McMullens credibility, or Krogers corporate culture, as alleged by Plaintiff," the judge said, adding that "without knowing the basis for the alleged embarrassment, it is impossible to weight it against the relevancy and proportionality."He added that, despite the "courts reticence," he would order McMullen to answer privately under oath "the facts and circumstances relating to your resignation from the Kroger Co."After a review, the court could grant McMullens request for a protective order and make his answer for "judicial eyes only."The Aug. 1 order gave McMullen seven days to comply.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFox News Digital has reached out to Jewel and Kroger for comment.

    AG Pam Bondi suggests Trump's crime crackdown in DC will help Latino residents
    President Donald Trumps order to crack down on crime in the nations capital is "crystal clear," U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox Noticias host Rachel Campos-Duffy in an exclusive interview Wednesday."I don't have to tell you about the violent crime that we're seeing every day," Bondi said. "Staffers are shot walking out. Drive-bys are happening in the nation's capital. And no more it's going to stop."RADICAL DC OFFICIALS TREATED OFFICERS LIKE CRAP, POLICE LEADER SAYS 7 ATTACKS THAT LED TO TRUMP TAKEOVEROn Monday, Trump federalized the capital citys Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), giving federal agencies supervisory power over the MPD. That same day, a man was fatally shot in Northwest D.C., marking the federal districts 100th homicide this year.Bondi insisted Trumps order aims to help D.C. residents of all ethnicities, including Latinos, who comprise over 10% of D.C.s population."President Trump wants to make Washington D.C., our nation's capital, safe for all of us, for Latinos, for all of us who live here," Bondi said.I SUPPORT TRUMP TAKING CONTROL OF DC POLICE THE CONSTITUTION IS ON HIS SIDESafety is not the presidents only goal, the attorney general added. Trump also wants to make the capital city "clean" and "beautiful again.""All of these buildings are in disarray," she lamented. "We want families to be able to come here and go to our museums, which are free. Go to the Smithsonian, go to the National Gallery, go to the zoo."While "Liberation Day" critics cite MPD statistics to argue D.C.s crime is at a "30-year low," the department suspended one of its police commanders in May for allegedly falsifying crime numbers in his reports.WOMAN GUNNED DOWN IN 'SAFE' DC NEIGHBORHOOD AS TRUMP LAUNCHES FEDERAL POLICE TAKEOVERThis scandal is something U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro is "looking into," Bondi revealed."It's so important," Bondi said. "You can't deflate statistics because people need to know, people need to be safe, and we have all of our federal agencies out there for the last four or five nights."When a reporter similarly asked Pirro about the reported drop in crime rates Tuesday, the former Fox News host did not hold back.JEANINE PIRRO SHUTS DOWN REPORTERS QUESTIONING TRUMPS DC CRIME CRACKDOWN"You tell the kid who was just beat the hell and back with a severe concussion and a broken nose, Crime is down,"Pirro said. "No, that falls on deaf ears, and my ears are deaf to that, and that's why I fight the fight."Pirro was the latest member of the Trump administration to cite violent acts of crime that preceded "Liberation Day," includingaformer DOGE staffer being assaultedand a 21-year-old congressional intern being murdered in the crossfire of a drive-by shooting in June.Pirros comments came as media critics like Politico argued Trump wants to"cast the city as dangerous,"with Democrats like Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker going so far as to compare the president's federal takeover to Nazi Germany.Watch Rachel Campos-Duffy's entire interview with Attorney General Bondi on Fox Noticias.

    Virginia Tech study shows dogs can detect invasive lanternfly
    Researchers at Virginia Tech say mans best friend may also be one of natures best defenses against an invasive pest. For the first time, a study shows that pet dogs could help stop the rapid spread of the spotted lanternfly.Spotted lanternflies feed on different plants and excrete a sugary substance called honeydew, which promotes mold growth. They are considered so destructive that some states have launched campaigns urging residents to stomp them on sight. Experts say the real solution is to wipe out their egg masses, but those can be hard to find because they often resemble dried mud and can blend in with their surroundings.That's where the dogs can come in to help with their strong sense of smell."Dogs have one dominant sense. It's their nose. We use our eyes. Dogs use their nose like their eyes," said study participant, Katie Thomas.INVASIVE PESTS COULD STAGE DRAMATIC COMEBACK THIS SUMMER, EXPERTS WARNThomas and her nine-year-old pitbull mix, Finch, participated in the study, hoping to put their years of recreational scent work to good use. They went through indoor and outdoor tests, sniffing out egg masses, and receiving an award when Finch was right on the money.SPOTTED LANTERNFLY: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE INVASIVE INSECT"To be able to do things that we already do, that we are having a lot of fun with Train our dogs to sniff stuff, being able to apply that to something like a real problem that affects our community is really fulfilling," said Thomas.The spotted lanternfly is native to Asia and was first detected in the United States in Pennsylvania over ten years ago. Since then, it has spread to 19 states, according to the USDA."They are everywhere, and we need to search out the eggs. The problem is its too late once we have the lanternfly," said study participant, Carolyn Shelburne.CALIFORNIA WINEGROWERS ON EDGE OVER PEST THAT COULD 'DEVASTATE' LUCRATIVE INDUSTRYCarolyn and her 9-year-old border collie, Hermes, was one of the first five K9 and handler teams to pass their field tests. Ultimately, 182 volunteer teams across the U.S. took part in the study.For indoor tests, dogs identified the lanternfly scent correctly more than 80% of the time. For more real-world outdoor tests, dogs identified the scent correctly more than 60% of the time. Thats still better than most human searches."Hopefully, more people will see that you can train any dog to do this, and it gives you something fun to do with your dog," said Shelburne.Researchers are hoping this is just the beginning for dogs to protect local environments. Even in areas where spotted laternflies aren't a problem, dogs could be trained to sniff out other invasive species.
