DENVER A South Carolina attorney who testified in the criminal case against convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh says the former attorney and local power broker is no different from serial killer Ted Bundy.Mark Tinsley represented the family of Mallory Beach, who died in an alcohol-fueled boat crash at the hands of Murdaugh's son and eventual victim, Paul Murdaugh, in 2019. He later secured a $15 million settlement for the Beach family from a convenience store chain that was accused of selling booze to the underage Paul in the hours leading up to the crash.Part of that civil suit compelled Alex Murdaugh to reveal his desperate financial situation, exposing a vast breadth of financial crimes he committed to help maintain his image as a powerful and wealthy community leader. He later pleaded guilty to those crimes.ALEX MURDAUGH APPEAL CHALLENGING MURDER CONVICTIONS FACES STATE PUSHBACK OVER JURY INFLUENCE CLAIMSThe murders occurred just days before the financial disclosures were expected to be made. Tinsley testified in the criminal trial against Murdaugh, and said the mounting pressure of those disclosures contributed to Murdaugh's motive to kill. The former community titan and attorney wanted to delay the disclosure and garner sympathy from the community. Tinsley also knew Murdaugh, as did many in Hampton County, South Carolina, home to about 25,000 people.He described the cold-blooded killer as "untouchable," painting a picture of a man who, benefiting from his family's 100-year reputation in the South Carolina Lowcountry, had undue influence over public affairs and garnered local acolytes, some of whom were loyal to him for fear of retribution if they ever crossed him."If I have the power to go and have some indictment for your brother dismissed, you're beholden to me forever," Tinsley told Fox News Digital at CrimeCon in Denver on Saturday, referencing Murdaugh's authority in the community.NEW TEXT MESSAGES FUEL ALEX MURDAUGH'S PUSH FOR NEW TRIAL"And if you are afraid that I could do something to you, you are equally afraid because there's not lots of opportunities in this place," he said. "And so he would use his friendships, but it was always what he could get out of it for him, and I think people realize that now. A lot of people. I mean, he probably genuinely had some friends, but I mean, Alex cared about one person. Alex. Always."He described Hampton County as a place where most residents have known one another for generations and have become intimately familiar with each other's lives."Imagine your high school class, if you go to a relatively small high school, a couple of hundred people," he said. "You know whose sister dated whom, and you know what their parents do. You know when he broke his arm playing football in the ninth grade, you know everything about everybody."Tinsley described Murdaugh as an insincere man who manipulated members of his own community, and that his nice-guy facade wasn't realized by most until after his criminal implosion.BUSTER MURDAUGH SCORES LEGAL WIN IN DEFAMATION FIGHT OVER DOCUMENTARYS MURDER IMPLICATIONS: FORMER STATE AG"And so, in your whole life you've grown up with these people," he said. "You see them in the grocery store, and you run into Alec while you're in the grocery store after the boat crash. I mean, can you imagine turning the aisle? And there's Alex like, hey good buddy, how you doing? 'I'm praying for you.'"Murdaugh's manipulation turned to indignance when the community's admiration for him turned to disdain.Tinsley compared Murdaugh's attitude to that of serial killer Ted Bundy's, who was notoriously incensed that people whom he viewed as his inferiors were allowed to judge him."Tell the jury they were wrong!" Bundy infamously exclaimed upon his third death sentencing in 1980 for the murder of a 12-year-old girl."If you find that video, Ted Bundy, in that moment where he challenges the world, how dare you criticize me, because I'm above all of you.' That's Alex.""It's not a nickel's worth of difference between Ted Bundy and that person in my mind. I mean, it's just a monster."

The deadly U.S. strike in the Caribbean this week is being cast by experts as the latest move in a broader campaign to dismantle Iran and Hezbollahs growing narco empire in Venezuela.U.S. officials say Tren de Aragua works closely with the Cartel of the Suns anetwork of Venezuelan military elites long accused of moving cocaine in collaboration with Hezbollah.White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told Fox News Digital that "President Trump has taken numerous actions to curtail Irans terrorist proxies like Hezbollah, such as sanctioning senior officials and financial facilitators. The President has proven that he will hold any terrorist group accountable that threatens the national security of our country by smuggling narcotics intended to kill Americans."Brian Townsend, a retired DEA special agent, told Fox News Digital, "This was a decisive blow against narco-terrorists," and saidHezbollahs role is rarely visible but essential, "They dont get their hands dirty. Instead, they launder and provide networks to help cartels send money through the Middle East. Simply, they take a cut from the drug trade, which then funds their operations in the Middle East."HEGSETH ISSUES STARK WARNING TO DRUG TRAFFICKERS FOLLOWING US MILITARY STRIKE ON VENEZUELAN VESSELTownsend added that Hezbollah has become "a main finance and money launderer for narco-terrorism groups like Tren de Aragua," ensuring that when cocaine moves, Hezbollah-linked facilitators are often processing at least part of the proceeds.Dani Citrinowicz, a senior fellow at Israels Institute for National Security Studies, said Hezbollahs reach depends heavily on the regions Lebanese diaspora. "Most of the Shia diaspora, at least in Central and South America, is Lebanese," he told Fox News Digital. "Hezbollah is the connector between the diaspora and Iran."Citrinowicz said the group uses family ties, language and community institutions to cement its influence across Latin America. "They appoint imams, fund religious centers and control educational programs through these networks, Hezbollah can interact with local cartels, sell drugs, and channel the profits back to Lebanon through elaborate schemes."He said this role as a connector makes Hezbollah indispensable toIrans strategy in the Western Hemisphere. "The connection starts and ends with enmity towards the West in general, specifically to the United States," he said. "As long as Maduro is there, the Iranians will be there. But if Maduro goes, Iran will lose the most important stronghold of its activity in Latin America."MADURO CLAIMS US SEEKS 'REGIME CHANGE THROUGH MILITARY THREAT' AMID CARIBBEAN BUILDUPTownsend stated the partnership works for both sides. "Irans partnership with Maduro enables Hezbollah to operate in Venezuela. Iran gets to safely operate, through Hezbollah, in the West without prosecution, and Maduro and his officials get paid well. Ultimately, Iran uses and exploits Maduro. Maduro doesnt care he and his friends benefit financially."Both experts pointed to state complicity as the key enabler. "Under Maduro and Chvez, Venezuela has become a major transshipment hub for Colombian cocaine," Townsend said. "There have been several indictments in the U.S. and Treasury OFAC designations that tie senior government officials directly to the use of state infrastructure ports, air bases, even military convoys to move massive shipments of cocaine. Cartel of the Suns, high-ranking military officers, run and protects these shipments. Who launders all of this drug money? Hezbollah."Citrinowicz emphasized Irans investment in Venezuelan power structures. "The enhancement is illustrated by several aspects: first and foremost, the military cooperation, especially Iranian factories building UAVs for the Venezuelan army, and constant Quds Force flights from Iran through Africa toward Venezuela," he said. "Iran is also teaching Venezuela how to bypass sanctions and has invested billions into the economy."Experts say Washingtons best leverage lies in choking the finances. "We need to aggressively target and choke these financial networks," Townsend said. "The priority is to attack the financial and logistical networks, indict everyone we can and pressure Maduro. If we can cut off the financial arteries, the cocaine wont be as profitable."Citrinowicz agreed that the strike fits into a broader effort. "By weakening Maduro, the U.S. weakens the Iranian presence inLatin America and weakens Irans ability to threaten U.S. soil," he said. "The best way to weaken Venezuela is also to aim against the Iranian presence over there."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFor Washington, experts say Hezbollahs narcotics empire in Venezuela is no longer just a regional problem. It is increasingly being treated as a direct threat to Americas security at home.

Pope Leo XIV proclaimed a 15-year-old computer genius the Catholic Churchs first millennial saint, along with another popular Italian figure who spent his life spreading his faith before dying at a young age.Leo canonized Carlo Acutis, who died of Leukemia in 2006, and Italian student and avid outdoorsman Pier Giorgio Frassati, who died in his early 20s of polio in 1925, during an open-air Mass in St. Peters Square before an estimated 80,000 people.Leo said both saints created "masterpieces" out of their lives by dedicating them to God."The greatest risk in life is to waste it outside of Gods plan," Leo said in his Sunday homily. The new saints "are an invitation to all of us, especially young people, not to squander our lives, but to direct them upwards and make them masterpieces."POPE FRANCIS KICKS OFF HOLY YEAR AT VATICAN WITH OVER 32 MILLION VISITORS EXPECTEDAcutis was born on May 3, 1991, and earned the nickname "Gods Influencer" after creating a multilingual website documenting so-called Eucharistic miracles recognized by the church. The teen finished the site at a time when such projects were typically in the realm of professionals.In October 2006, Acutis fell ill and was diagnosed with acute leukemia. He died within days at just 15 years old. He was entombed in Assisi.Pope Francis fervently willed the Acutis sainthood case forward convinced that the church needed someone like him to attract young Catholics to the faith while addressing the promises and perils of the digital age.Leo inherited the Acutis cause, but he, too, has pointed to technology especiallyartificial intelligence as one of the main challenges facing humanity.LGBTQ CATHOLICS MARCH THROUGH ST. PETERS BASILICA IN JUBILEE RITE AS VATICAN CALENDAR ENTRY STIRS CONTROVERSYFrassati, the other saint canonized, was a "beacon for lay spirituality," Leo said.Frassati lived his faith through "constant, humble, mostly hidden service to the poorest of Turin," noted theFrassati Catholic Academy. "He lived simply and gave away food, money or anything that anyone asked of him."It is believed that he contracted polio from those he ministered to in the slums of Turin, Italy, before his death.Fox News Digitals Ashley J.

Russian forces struck Ukraine with its largest air attack since the war began on Sunday, launching a mass of drones, decoys and missiles.Ukraine's air force said 810 drones and decoys were used in the strike, including at least 13 missiles. Ukrainian forces intercepted 747 of the drones and four of the missiles.At least two people were killed and 20 people were injured in Kyiv. Total casualty reports are not yet available.Images from Kyiv show explosives struck a government building and at least one residential building.PUTIN INVITES ZELENSKYY TO A MEETING IN MOSCOW FOR SECURITY TALKS AS HE BOMBS UKRAINEHits from nine missiles and 54 drones were recorded at 33 locations across Ukraine, and the debris of shot down targets fell at eight locations, the Air Force said.The government building that appeared to be struck in the attack was the Cabinet of Ministers building. Russian forces have previously refrained from targeting government buildings in Ukraine's capital.The building is the home of Ukraines Cabinet, housing the offices of its ministers. Police blocked access to the building as fire trucks and ambulances arrived."For the first time, the government building was damaged by an enemy attack, including the roof and upper floors," Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said in a statement. "We will restore the buildings, but lost lives cannot be returned.""The world must respond to this destruction not only with words, but with actions.

During a recent confirmation hearing for the U.S. Senate, Tim Kaine, a Democratic senator from Virginia, actively contested the view that our rights come from God."The statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our government is extremely troubling," Kaine said, comparing the notion that rights "come from the creator" to the theocratic government of Iran.Kaines comments, which are of course outrageous, are tinged by a delicious irony: Virginia, the state the senator serves, was the state of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, both of whom took it as fundamental to our democracy that our rights come not from the government but from God."We hold these truths to be self-evident," Jefferson famously wrote in the Declaration of Independence, "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."PROTECTING THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE IN OUR 250TH YEARWhat this means is that the government neither invents nor grounds our rights; rather, in the words of the Declaration, itsecuresthem. Our rights comebeforegovernment, and they come, objectively, fromGod.Think, too, of that familiar word from Jefferson: "inalienable." These rights are inalienable precisely because they donotcome from the government. If the government were the arbiter of our rights, then it could take them away; if the government were their efficient cause, then it could change them willy-nilly.If you think this would never happen, then you dont know much about modern history. Look at the great totalitarian systems of the 20th century: The denial of God conduced to the denial of God-given rights and that, in turn, conduced to rights becoming eminently alienable whenever it served the purposes of the government.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONIt is extraordinary that a major American politician wouldnt understand this pillar of the American system of democracy. God help us I mean that literally God help us if we say our rights come to us from the government, for this gives the government a godlike power it was never meant to have.We are a nation "under God," as Lincoln says in the Gettysburg Address. And this is not just pious decoration; it is a powerful political statement. Our government recognizes the objective rights that come fromoutsideof government rights that it exists to serve, not establish.The fact that this language is being used not only by Tim Kaine but by others (seemy responseto an MSNBC journalist last year along these same lines) is what is truly troubling. And its a fruit, I would argue, of the increasing marginalization and privatization of, if not outright hostility toward, organized religion, which is the bedrock of our democracy.As both a Catholic bishop and a proud American one who is happy to follow Thomas Jefferson on this point I encourage you to celebrate our inalienable rights, and to resist this dangerous rhetoric.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM BISHOP ROBERT BARRON

Miss America hopeful Sophia Parker wants everyone to have "a seat at the table" regardless of their political affiliation.Miss Vermont, a 27-year-old Army National Guard sergeant, will compete in the Miss America pageant on Sunday. She said her mission is to remind Americans that service and unity matter more than division."Unfortunately, we are living at a time of great division, and Ive seen this grow even just in my lifetime," Parker, a combat medic and nurse at the University of Vermont Medical Center, told Fox News Digital.AIR FORCE OFFICER-TURNED-MISS AMERICA SAYS YOU DON'T NEED TO 'SACRIFICE' YOUR PERSONALITY TO JOIN THE MILITARY"Between the left and the right there is a ton of division," she shared. "However, one thing that I think is very important is for people of all different opinions from both sides and everyone in the middle to be able to come together and have the baseline be that we need to speak to each other with respect. We need to hear each other out.""I believe that the role of Miss America and Miss Vermont is to be that person who hears everyones perspective," said Parker."I, as Sophia, of course, have my own personal opinions about things. But as Miss Vermont, Im not here to have strong political opinions. Im here to listen to everyone, and to try to create a middle ground where everyone can feel heard and seen. I think that is the starting point to find solutions. Our founding fathers created this country to be a place where you can have different opinions where everyone can come together and find a place at the table, find a seat at the table."WATCH: MISS AMERICA HOPEFUL MISS VERMONT SEEKS TO BRIDGE POLITICAL DIVIDE"As Miss America, as Miss Vermont, that is what I see as my job," Parker added.Parker said it was a teacher at her high school in Vermont who encouraged her to pursue pageants. It would be an outlet for her to connect with other everyday Americans."She recognized that if I was going to college, I would actually need some financial help and scholarships in order to do so," said Parker. " I had never thought about competing in a pageant before. I was a tomboy.""I raised wild animals that needed help and ran around in the woods with my friends," she chuckled. "But I ended up absolutely falling in love with the organization Its been such a privilege and such an honor to be able to speak about this organization that I love so much."Miss America, a glitzy competition, was born from a 1921 Atlantic City beauty contest just a year after women were given the right to vote, The Associated Press reported. Many participants say the organization a large provider of scholarship assistance to young women has been life-altering, opening doors for them both personally and professionally.The organization, one of the nations most recognized brands, awards more than $5 million in cash scholarships annually, plus millions more at the national, state and local levels.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERMeeting other competitors from across the country and hearing their stories has given Parker a deeper appreciation for our country."I am extremely grateful to be an American every single day," she said. "I wake up every single day with freedoms and privileges that people in any other country in the world do not have. One of the things that I am extremely grateful for is that I, as a woman, am able to be everything that I want to be. This is part of why I love being in the Vermont Army National Guard, why I love the Miss America Organization I can stand here as someone who doesnt really fit into a lot of boxes I can wear a lot of different hats."" We as women and as people can be passionate about any number of things," said Parker. "I believe that as an American, you can be anything that you want to be. And I stand here as Miss Vermont, as a nurse, as a soldier, as a pageant girl, and I am so grateful for those [roles]."The eagerness to serve runs in Parkers veins. Her grandfather fought in World War II and was in the Battle of the Bulge. He went on to receive a Purple Heart. Growing up, Parker often listened to her grandfathers stories from his time in the Army "the good, the bad and everything that he lived through and saw.""One of the things that always stuck with me [was] how he was a part of something bigger than himself," she explained."He had such a strong sense of comradery with the fellow soldiers that he served with. Theres nothing like it in the world, and I wanted to be part of something bigger than myself I immediately knew that I wanted to be a medic if I was going to join. I talked to the recruiter in my town about what was involved. I took the ASVAB and ended up enlisting as a medic in the Vermont Army National Guard."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSBetween the Miss America Organization and the Army National Guard, Parker was able to graduate debt-free from Castleton University last May with a nursing degree.One of the key causes Parker wants to highlight this weekend is wildlife rehabilitation. The Green Mountain State native and her mother co-founded Otter Creek Wildlife Rescue, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating injured and orphaned birds and mammals across Vermont.Parker said she has vivid memories as a child bringing home wildlife, caring for them and releasing them back to their natural habitat when they were healthy. Shes currently involved with several local organizations that aim to create better wildlife policies."Currently, the state of Vermont allows things like leghold trapping and hunting with hounds," she said. "Were working to make these things illegal or at least much more regulated.""We would never strive to ban hunting," she clarified. "Hunting is an age-old tradition in Vermont. Its very possible to be an extremely ethical hunter. I know many ethical hunters who go out and kill a deer and use it to feed their whole family. Its one of the most ethical ways you can get your meat. But Vermont, unfortunately, has a lot of archaic politics that allow a lot of abuse of wildlife. And so, Im actively working with our legislature to change these policies."" I think its very important to not only view the natural world from the perspective of a consumer, but as someone who shares this world with other animals."Today, Parker hopes her journey will encourage others to support a cause theyre passionate about."A life of service has changed my life," she said. "Its made me who I am today. It gives you a purpose in life. It gives you inspiration, and its grounding in a world where, frankly, the problems [are] overwhelming You dont have to have money. You dont have to have some crazy talent. You just need to get involved in your community and make a difference."

Following unrelenting criticism from the United Nations, the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is once again being targeted by NGOs, even as it delivered its 155 millionth meal to Gazans on Saturday.Doctors Without Borders, known by its French acronym MSF, has launched ads criticizing GHF. Metas Ad Library shows that in August it ran several Facebook ads targeting the foundation. One ad read, "This is not aid. This is orchestrated killing." Another said, "In MSFs 54 years, rarely have we seen such levels of systemized violence."Both allegations are taken from an Aug. 6 article on MSFs website in which General Director Raquel Ayora describes accounts received from patients reportedly injured around GHF sites. Ayora says aid seekers claimed to have witnessed "children shot in the chest while reaching for food. People crushed or suffocated in stampedes. Entire crowds gunned down at distribution points."GHF spokesperson Chapin Fay called MSF's accusations, "false and disgraceful," saying that it is "amplifying a disinformation campaign orchestrated by the Hamas-linked Gaza Health Ministry. They know better. By repeating these lies, theyre not aiding civilians, theyre aiding Hamas."AS US-BACKED GROUP DELIVERS MILLION OF MEALS, UN AND NGOS FIGHT TO DISCREDIT GAZA AID RIVAL"No civilians have ever been shot at any of our distribution sites," Fay told Fox News Digital.Fay said that "Nearly every day, Nasser Hospital issues false reports to the media of civilians killed near our sites, based solely on testimony from others. Not a single MSF doctor has ever witnessed an incident near our sites. Any conflict between Israel and Hamas, sometimes several kilometers away, the Gaza Health Ministry falsely links to GHF."In response to questions about whether MSF employees have witnessed injuries or deaths at GHF sites firsthand, a spokesperson told Fox News Digital that, "MSFhas documented the impacts of violence and chaos at GHF sites in Gaza, based on firsthandaccounts of our personnel and patients at two clinical sites, as well as a body of medical data."MSF declined to respond to questions about how much money it has spent on ads targeting GHF, or whether it has advocated for medical care for Israeli hostages taken by Hamas.The MSF spokesperson added, "For the past 22 months, humanitarian organizations working in Gaza and the West Bank have consistently faced baseless and inaccuratesmear campaigns."BBC FORCED TO CORRECT REPORT CLAIMING GAZAN WOMAN DIED FROM MALNUTRITIONThough there is growing outcry about purported violence near GHF sites, reporting from the United Nations indicates that there were twice as many deaths surrounding humanitarian aid convoys (576) as there were deaths around GHF sites (259) between July 21 and Aug. 18.A U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs update from August states there were 1,889 deaths near aid sites between May 27 and Aug. 18, 1,025 "near militarized distribution sites" and 864 "along convoy supply routes." As of July 21, U.N. News reported there were 1,054 deaths at food distribution sites, with 766 near GHF sites, and 288 near U.N. and humanitarian aid convoys.The U.N. Human Rights Office did not respond to a request for confirmation of these figures by press time.Amid tensions between GHF and humanitarian aid organizations, Fay said that GHF nonetheless provided support to MSF in early August after it requested help to "safeguard their medical aid from the elements." A GHF post on X from Aug. 7. showed what it said were pallets of MSF aid in GHF care. MSF did not respond to Fox News Digitals request to confirm that they asked GHF for assistance with their supplies.When GHF staff were brought to Nasser Hospital after a Hamas attack in June that killed eight, they did not receive care from MSF staff, according to Fay.A GHF employees written statement provided to Fox News Digital describes how wounded workers were taken to Nasser Hospital, where doctors refused to treat them. The witness said survivors were placed in a courtyard, where hospital staff incited others to beat them. One GHF employee was reportedly stabbed.AS ISRAEL FACES BLAME FOR THE HUNGER CRISIS IN GAZA, UNS OWN DATA SHOWS MOST OF ITS AID IS LOOTED"Three more GHF staff died due to their lack of treatment by Nasser Hospital. MSF doctors work there, yet claim they werent aware of the situation," Fay said.In an Aug. 25 report following the Israeli bombing of Nasser Hospital, MSF said that it "has been operational in Nasser since before the conflict escalated in October 2023, providing trauma andburn care, physiotherapy, neonatal and pediatric services, and treatment formalnourished children, among other critical services."The Foundation for Defense of Democracies has reported multiple times since October 2023 that Hamas fighters have been operating out of Nasser Hospital. On Aug. 26, FDD senior research analyst Joe Truzman shared photos on X of two Hamas summonses that reportedly ordered individuals to come to Nasser Hospital for questioning.MSF did not respond to questions about GHF employees failing to receive care or whether its staff at Nasser Hospital were aware of Hamas operations at the site.In an online statement about the incident, MSF said it "has seen no credible evidence that healthcare was refused by Ministry of Health or other medical staff." The group also said "MSF staff have not been present in the emergency department of Nasser Hospital since 2024."On Saturday, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation announced a new initiative to provide medical care to Gazans through a program with Samaritans Purse.In a statement on X, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said that in addition to treating wounds, injuries and infections, it was also helping pregnant women.
