    Moscow police chief challenges claims Bryan Kohberger mentioned Kaylee Goncalves by name during attack
    The chief of police in an Idaho college town rocked by Bryan Kohberger's deadly home invasion stabbings is pushing back on reports that a surviving roommate overheard the killer referring to one of the victims by name.The clarification comes amid reports that surviving roommate Dylan Mortensen overheard Kohberger mention 21-year-old victim Kaylee Goncalves by name at the time of the murders."I'm not quite sure where they got that, that report, but that doesn't seem accurate to me," Moscow Police Chief Anthony Dahlinger told Fox News' Paul Mauro this week.BRYAN KOHBERGER PLEADED GUILTY TO IDAHO STUDENT MURDERS, BUT THESE KEY QUESTIONS REMAIN UNANSWEREDDahlinger's department released hundreds of pages of documents on the case last month after Kohberger's sentencing. Then Idaho State Police released more than 500 additional pages over the weekend.The disputed claim appears on page 91 of the state police documents, in a second-hand conversation:"Sometime in the early morning hours, [Mortensen] was awoken and opened her room door and heard a male say 'It's OK Kaylee, I'm here for you' and crying," reads a narrative summary from Idaho State Trooper Jeffory Talbott, based on information he said he received from Moscow Police Sgt. Dustin Blaker.INSIDE THE HORROR: IDAHO FOUR CRIME SCENE PHOTOS REVEAL BLOODY AFTERMATH OF ATTACK"The only thing that I believe was reported was that he said something someone heard a voice say something along the lines of, It's OK, I'm here to help you,'" Dahlinger said.Mortensen, who came within 3 feet of Kohberger on the night of the massacre but escaped harm herself, overheard that utterance, according to court documents as well as recently released police records.WATCH: Judge blocks new Idaho crime scene photos as police dispute Kohberger reportShe told police she thought she heard Goncalves, one of the four stabbing victims, but later said that it was probably Xana Kernodle, 20, another roommate killed in the attack.READ BRYAN KOHBERGER'S SIGNED KILLER CONFESSIONPrior to Kohberger's guilty plea, the defense attacked her credibility and alleged that her story had shifted over the course of multiple interviews with police.Those claims proved irrelevant when he admitted to the crimes as part of a plea deal to avoid the death penalty, which prosecutors would have sought if the jurors convicted him at trial.BRYAN KOHBERGER ACCEPTS PLEA DEAL IN IDAHO STUDENT MURDERS CASEThe other two victims were Madison Mogen, 21, and Ethan Chapin, 20.Kohberger pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree murder and another of felony burglary.Idaho Judge Steven Hippler sentenced him to four consecutive life prison terms without the possibility of parole, plus another 10 years. Under the deal, he waived his right to appeal and to seek a reduced sentence.WATCH: Idaho police chief details Kohberger's 'abnormal behavior' after college murdersCLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAuthorities have maintained that they could prove Kohberger targeted the home at 1122 King Road but not which roommate or roommates he was after. He stalked the location at least a dozen times before the murders and returned to the scene hours later.Tune in for Mauro's full interview with Chief Dahlinger Thursday morning on "FOX & Friends."

    Illegal immigrant trucker accused of killing three people failed English, road sign tests: DOT
    The illegal immigrant truck driver who is accused of causing a crash in Fort Pierce, Florida, that killed three people failed English and road sign tests, officials investigating the wreck said.Harjinder Singh, who crossed into the United States illegally in 2018 via the southern border, obtained a commercial driver's license in California. He attempted to obtain work authorization, but it was rejected by the first Trump administration on Sept. 14, 2020, according to Tricia McLaughlin, Homeland Security assistant secretary for public affairs."During [Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's] interview with the driver, investigators administered an English Language Proficiency (ELP) assessment in accordance with FMCSA guidance," the Department of Transportation said in a statement. "The driver failed the assessment, providing correct responses to just 2 of 12 verbal questions and only accurately identifying 1 of 4 highway traffic signs."FLORIDATRAGEDYSHOWSWHYTRUMPSTRUCKING LICENSECRACKDOWNISNEEDEDThe DOT indicated that the investigation began on Aug. 14, two days after the crash.Singh has been charged with three counts of vehicular homicide. He was arrested in Stockton, California, on Saturday.According to the DOT, Singh was issued a regular full-term commercial drivers license in the state of Washington in July 2023, but illegal immigrants are not allowed to obtain this type of license.A year later, Singh was issued a limited-term/non-domiciled commercial driver's license in California. The DOT is investigating further whether the issuance of that license followed federal regulations.On July 3, the New Mexico State Police pulled Singh over and conducted a roadside inspection of him. He was given a speeding ticket, but not subjected to an English language proficiency test, which was required by law beginning on June 25.Singh allegedly made a U-turn in an unauthorized area on the Florida Turnpike, causing his truck to jackknife and collide with a minivan. The three occupants of the minivan died in the crash.The crash sparked a bitter spat between the office of California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and McLaughlin, as Newsom's office tried to wriggle its way out of responsibility for Singh's work permit.ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TRUCK DRIVER ACCUSED IN DEADLY FLORIDA CRASH GOT BIDEN WORK PERMIT AFTER TRUMP DENIAL: DHS"Hey, genius: the federal government (TRUMP ADMIN) already confirmed that this guy meets federal and state immigration requirements YOU issued him a work permit (EAD). As usual, the Trump Administration is either lying or clueless," Newsom's office said in a post on X when criticized by McLaughlin."False. Harjinder Singh is in the United States illegally and his work authorization was rejected under the Trump Administration on September 14, 2020," McLaughlin replied. "It was later approved under the Biden Administration June 9, 2021. The state of California issues Commercial Drivers Licenses. There is no national CDL."A spokesperson for Newsom told Fox News Digital that Singh was reissued a work permit on April 9, and once again blamed Trump.ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ACCUSED OF KILLING 3 IN FLORIDA HIGHWAY CRASH CROSSED BORDER INTO CALIFORNIA IN 2018: DHS"Why dont you ask Trump about the drivers federally issued work permit and when he entered this country?" the spokesperson said in a statement. "Spoiler alert: it was in 2018 under Trump whoops. He would have been eligible in any state. California followed federal law, something the President knows nothing about.""In fact, the driver in this case was reissued an Employment Authorization (work permit) on 4/9/2025 and, if my math is correct, that falls within the current presidential term," the statement continued.Fox News' Louis Casiano contributed to this report.

"There's not a judge in the state of Tennessee that would have signed that. They would be like, No, this isn't this isn't right. This isn't legal. Not happening. So, there's that. B, she has a lawyer. I have a lawyer. Is her lawyer really going to be like, Fine, you get zero dollars. He gets to keep all the money that was made over the seven years. Absolutely not."KRISTIN CAVALLARI FLASHES HER ABS IN LEOPARD PRINT BIKINI ON CABO VACATIONCavallari made the claims about Cutler's involvement in Uncommon James during an episode of her podcast, "Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour.""Our revenue is close to $50 million a year, but because I was obviously a WAG athletes wives and girlfriends, if youre not familiar people love to say that everything I have in my life is because of my ex-husband, and that my ex-husband funded Uncommon James," Cavallari shared. "But I am, to this day, 100% owner, and Ive never taken any outside funding.""I have never gotten a penny from my ex-husband," she claimed.

Ive got a divorce decree. Ive got something thats signed by the judge its, like, 67 pages it says the number breakdown.""I'm not going to get into those exact numbers, but I can guarantee you it's definitely not zero dollars," he added.The football star, who played his last season in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins, claimed Cavallari could "without a doubt" live comfortably with the money from the divorce.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERA source familiar with the couple's marriage told People magazine that Cutler's response is "a standard gaslighting tactic from a known narcissist.""His answer was manipulated into something completely different than what Kristin was initially saying," the insider added.Fox News Digital reached out to Cavallari's representative for comment.

    Leo Terrell shows America how to stand up to antisemitism
    Antisemitism is exploding in America. Jews are being harassed on campuses, vilified in city councils, and demonized in political campaigns. Radical candidates are winning more often, threatening to forever change some of Americas biggest and best cities. That should terrify anyone who cares about freedom.But in the middle of this rising storm, one voice cuts through the cowardice and excuses: Leo Terrell.A fighter, not a fence-sitterToo many public figures stay silent when antisemitism rears its head. They hide behind platitudes or twist themselves into knots to avoid offending radicals who openly target Jews. Leo Terrell does the opposite.THOUSANDS STORM MANHATTAN CALLING FOR 'GLOBAL INTIFADA,' A PHRASE WITH A PENDING VIOLENCE DESIGNATIONWhen activists smear Israel as an apartheid state, Terrell calls it what it is: a lie meant to delegitimize the only Jewish homeland. When politicians turn a blind eye to antisemitic hate on our streets, Terrell blasts them for their hypocrisy. When campus mobs intimidate Jewish students, he doesnt pretend its "free expression" he calls it bigotry, pure and simple.And he backs up his words with action. He uses his media platforms to expose antisemitism in city halls, in classrooms, and in the culture. He calls out candidates who pander to anti-Jewish extremists. He rallies everyday Americans to reject the lies and to stand proudly with Israel and the Jewish people.He doesnt mince words. He doesnt play politics. He tells the truth.Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with JewsWhat makes Leo Terrells courage so powerful is that its rooted in principle, not popularity. His passion is grounded in the values his father instilled in him the conviction that "bless the Jews and you will be blessed." Those words shaped his worldview, giving him a moral clarity that so many others lack today.He understands something many refuse to say out loud: the Jewish fight against antisemitism is an American fight.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONAnd in standing with Jews today, Terrell revives a proud legacy. Decades ago, Jews marched with Black Americans during the civil rights movement, linking arms and risking everything to fight for justice and equality. Now, in a moment of rising antisemitism, it is powerful and deeply moving to see a Black leader like Leo Terrell standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Jews again. Our communities have fought for one another before. And we must continue to fight for one another now.Why America needs more Leo TerrellsAntisemitism is not going away on its own. It is being fueled by campus radicals, tolerated by weak politicians, and even mainstreamed by ambitious leaders. That is why voices like Leo Terrells are not just refreshing they are essential.America needs more people who will fight, not flinch. More people who will choose truth over comfort. More people willing to take the heat to do whats right.Leo Terrell embodies that spirit. He is a fighter. He is an ally. And he is proof that one courageous voice can inspire millions to stand up against hate.SIGN UP FOR ANTISEMITISM EXPOSED NEWSLETTERThe bottom lineAntisemitism thrives in silence. It withers when it is confronted by fearless truth-tellers. That is why Leo Terrell matters so much right now.He doesnt just talk about antisemitism he takes it on. He doesnt just debate it he destroys it. And in doing so, he shows America what real moral courage looks like.If we want a future where Jews are safe and America stays strong, we dont just need to applaud Leo Terrell. We need to follow his lead and we need to stand together, just as we did generations ago.

    World Boxing to have mandatory sex testing to keep males out of women's competitions
    World Boxing, the international governing body for the sport of boxing, announced a new policy on Wednesday that introduces mandatory sex testing to ensure only females compete in the women's category.The change came a year after the world watched Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting, two boxers who previously failed sex tests, win women's Olympic boxing gold medals in Paris.The Khelif and Yu-ting's gold medal runs prompted global backlash and controversy amid rising concerns over males competing in women's sports. Now, World Boxing has introduced a policy that will effectively prevent similar incidents from occurring at future events."World Boxing respects the dignity of all individuals and is keen to ensure it is as inclusive as possible, yet in a combat sport like boxing, we have a duty of care to deliver safety and competitiveness fairness which are the key principles that have guided the development and creation of this policy," World Boxing President Boris van der Vorst said in an announcement."It has been a long and detailed process, but it was vital that we examined all of the medical, legal and sporting issues raised by this issue and I am confident that in introducing testing to certify the eligibility of an athlete to compete as a male or female, the new policy on Sex Age and Weight will deliver sporting integrity and protect the safety of all participants."We recognize that the issues relating to eligibility in boxing are more pronounced in the womens events which is why we have made the decision to implement the policy in the female category first, where it will apply for the forthcoming World Boxing Championships and this was communicated to all of our member National Federations some time ago, to enable them to begin the process of testing.FORMER UPENN SWIMMER REFLECTS ON BEING TEAMMATES WITH LIA THOMASThe new policy stated that national teams will be responsible for testing and confirming the biological sex of their athletes when entering them into competitions, via PCR or functional medical equivalent genetic screening test.The national teams must now provide certification of their chromosomal sex and failure to provide it will render the athlete ineligible to compete and could even lead to sanctions against the athlete and national team.The mandatory testing will go into affect just in time for the 2025 World Boxing championships in Liverpool starting Sept. 4.In a May letter to Khelif's national team, the Algerian Boxing Federation, World Boxing announced that it would adopt mandatory sex testing and that Khelif would need to pass one in order to compete in the Eindhoven Box Cup in June.Khelif ended up skipping the tournament. President Donald Trump said that there will be a "strong form of testing" when asked about potential genetic testing for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics at a press conference on Aug. 5.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

"Hundreds of violent criminals have been arrested by federal law enforcement agents for carrying illegal weapons, distributing deadly drugs, committing armed robbery, and having ties to dangerous gangs like MS-13. President Trump is making DC safe again by enforcing the law and everyday Americans support his commonsense, tough-on-crime policies."MS-13 GANG MEMBER ARRESTED IN DC AS BONDI TOUTS ADMIN'S 'EXTRAORDINARY' CRIME CRACKDOWNTuesday evening's sweep of the city included 91 arrests, Fox News Digital learned, including 25 arrests of illegal aliens.

    Charlie Kirk applauds Lamar Jackson's 'courage and conviction' after backlash for sharing Christian message
    Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk is applauding Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, saying the two-time NFL MVP showed "courage and conviction" after facing criticism for sharing Kirks faith-based post on X that read, "Its all about Jesus.""I just want to say to Lamar you are more than welcome in this big movement that we are building" the conservative influencer told "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday, referencing reports of a Christian revival in America."You could be a Democrat, you could be on the left. I don't care. Jesus is honestly the most important thing."RAVENS' LAMAR JACKSON SPARKS OUTRAGE AFTER RE-POSTING CONSERVATIVE INFLUENCER'S CHRISTIAN MESSAGEThe quarterbacks X timeline is filled with religious content, with posts such as "God is Good" and Bible verses from other accounts. His political beliefs, however, remain unclear.Jackson faced criticism on Sunday after he re-shared Kirk's post, drawing ire from those who disagree with Kirk's politics.One wrote, "Its not the message that is the problem, its the messenger. If Lamar Jackson was a plumber and not a NFL player, Charlie Kirk would call him a DEI hire he wouldnt trust to work in his home."JETS' JUSTIN FIELDS SHARES HE'S 'LOW-KEY ADDICTED' TO READING HIS BIBLE, TALKS RELATIONSHIP WITH GODFox News Digital previously reached out to a Jackson rep for comment.Kirk said he believes the backlash stems from celebrities and star athletes not being "allowed" to share views that are considered conservative."He's a phenomenal talent, a once-in-a-generation, two-time MVP, and I'm just thrilled that he hasn't apologized or backed down, to the best of my knowledge, for just retweeting a very simple Sunday message: 'It's all about Jesus,'" he said."We are seeing Gen Z go back to church in record numbers. We are seeing a Christian revival. That should give everyone in this audience hope. It's the greatest news happening in America right now, and God bless Lamar Jackson for having the courage and the conviction to repost that on his social media."Who cares what the naysayers say? He's standing firm for what matters most, which is the gospel of Jesus Christ."Fox News' Ryan Gaydos contributed to this report.
