Former UFC fighter Rampage Jackson's son, Raja, was arrested for the alleged brutal beatdown of a professional wrestler that was livestreamed.Last month, Raja Jackson climbed into the ring and body-slammed Stuart Smith, known professionally as Syko Stu, before beating the apparently unconscious wrestler at the KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy.The assault was widely viewed online in footage livestreamed Saturday and disseminated across social media.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMJackson was booked on a felony charge and is being held on $50,000 bail.The academy said Jackson assaulted Smith during a match, going off the normal script to commit the beating. Jackson threw at least 20 punches to the head of the apparently unconscious wrestler.Smith sustained a "serious head injury, trauma to both the upper and lower jaws, a laceration to his upper lip and a fracture to the maxilla bone, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of several teeth," according to a post on his Instagram.KnokX Pro Entertainment & Academy posted a statement on its Facebook page condemning Jackson's act."What was supposed to be a planned and agreed-upon wrestling spot turned into a selfish, irresponsible act of violence against Mr. Smith," the statement read. "This egregious act is reprehensible and never should have occurred. In the 17 years of operation of KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy, there has never been anything as heinous take place such as this and we apologize to our patrons and fans."Rampage Jackson said the assault was part of a previously planned performance that "went wrong" after Smith apparently angered Raja Jackson by unexpectedly hitting him in the side of the head earlier in the day before the match."Raja was told that he could get his payback in the ring," Rampage Jackson wrote. "I thought it was a part of the show. It was bad judgement, and a work that went wrong. Raja is a MMA fighter not a pro wrestler and had no business involved in an event like this. I dont condone my sons actions AT ALL! He suffered a concussion from sparring only days ago and had no business doing anything remotely close to physical contact."Rampage Jackson was the UFC light heavyweight champion in 2007 and 2008, and he fought for several MMA promotions until 2019. He has also worked as a pro wrestler and an actor, most notably playing B.A. Baracus in the film reboot of "The A-Team" in 2010.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Turning Point USAs future could entail growing the organization significantly larger under the leadership of Erika Kirk, who was appointed to lead the conservative nonprofit following the assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk, last week.Alex Clark, host of the podcast "Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark," and longtime TPUSA personality, explained that Kirk held a Zoom call on Wednesday with employees, noting that she has been an "absolute force" who wants to "10x the organization."Since the assassination, the group has received more than 62,000 new requests for high school and college chapters.'SLEEPING GIANT' LIKELY WOKE UP FOR TURNING POINT USA AFTER CHARLIE KIRK'S ASSASSINATION"I'm excited because Charlie had said on his show at one point that Erika was actually more conservative than he was, so I can't wait to see what that means," Clark told Fox News Digital in a phone interview on Thursday."I think that's kind of a poetic justice that will be done to the left, because obviously, they were excited that they took out Charlie, and they thought that everything would die with him. And that's just clearly not even close to the reality of the situation," she added.The election of Kirk as CEO and chair of the board was announced on Thursday, with the organization posting to X that: "In prior discussions, Charlie expressed to multiple executives that this is what he wanted in the event of his death."Clark noted that preserving the mission of the group is critical during this time.TURNING POINT USA ELECTS ERIKA KIRK AS NEW CEO, CHAIR OF THE BOARD FOLLOWING CHARLIE KIRK'S ASSASSINATION"Erica is very sharp, and she already knows who is circling us that is an opportunist, and she is going to protect the integrity and legacy of Turning Point USA with everything that she has," she said."So, for employees that work here, for donors, people that want to be involved, nobody should be afraid of what made Turning Point so special and so successful that any of that would slip away. I think that she's going to have the perfect ingredients to add to our success recipe to make it even better."Clark noted that the tragedy has brought people within the organization closer together.ERIKA KIRK'S FIRST SPEECH SINCE HUSBAND'S ASSASSINATION SPARKS MASSIVE TPUSA CHAPTER SURGE NATIONWIDE"I think the overall mood is like, We want justice, and we are closer as a staff than ever before. I mean, it's the new normal to see somebody that you've never really spoken to in the office and get them a hug and just say, I love you, thank you for being here," she said.Kirks celebration of life service is scheduled for Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, where President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance are among the list of speakers. When asked about the political next steps following the shooting of Kirk, she said that "Every election is ours to lose for the foreseeable future here.""Charlie was very adamant that the next election is JD Vance's and that we're going to be playing a critical role in helping him with that," Clark said, noting the role of TPUSAs sister c4 organization, Turning Point Action.

The Senate confirmed the last member of President Donald Trumps Cabinet on Friday after months of delay from Senate Democrats.Lawmakers confirmed Mike Waltz to be Trumps ambassador to the United Nations on a bipartisan 47-45 vote. Sens. John Fetterman, D-Pa., Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., crossed the aisle to confirm him.Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., was the lone Republican to vote against his confirmation he also voted against Waltzs advancing out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.SENATE CONFIRMS DOZENS OF TRUMP NOMINEES IN FIRST TEST OF NEW NUCLEAR RULESWaltzs confirmation ends the near nine-month gap where the U.S. was without a representative at the U.N., and it comes as the organization gears up for its General Assembly in New York City next week.Waltz, who is a retired Army National Guard colonel and former Green Beret, previously served as a House Republican from Florida before being tapped to serve as Trumps national security advisor.However, he was dismissed from his position at the National Security Council following the "Signalgate" controversy, where Waltz added a journalist to a group chat with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Vice President JD Vance and others as they discussed strikes in Yemen.GOP TRIGGERS NUCLEAR OPTION IN SENATE TO BREAK DEM BLOCKADE OF TRUMP NOMINEESWaltz took responsibility for the blunder and told Fox News Laura Ingraham at the time, "Its embarrassing. Were going to get to the bottom of it."Despite the hiccup, Trump tapped Waltz in May to be the U.S. ambassador to the U.N.The move came after he subbed out Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., from the position. At the time, Trump cited concerns that losing her from the House would make it difficult to pass legislation, particularly his "big, beautiful bill," given the GOPs razor-thin majority in the lower chamber.DEMS DIG IN AS GOP PREPARES TO GO NUCLEAR IN TRUMP NOMINEE RACEStill, Waltz was scrutinized by Senate Democrats during his confirmation hearing in July, where lawmakers accused the former House Republican of making an "amateurish" move for including a journalist into a sensitive conversation. Waltz pushed back that there was no classified information shared in the chat.During the hearing, Waltz advocated for reforms at the U.N. and argued that "we should have one place in the world where everyone can talk.""Where China, Russia, Europe, the developing world, can come together and resolve conflicts," he said. "But after 80 years, it's drifted from its core mission of peacemaking."

Former Vice President Kamala Harris' highly anticipated book recapping the 2024 election cycle gives a nod to former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg that could open doors to a potential 2028 presidential run, DNC Vice Chair Shasti Conrad told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview."I think that Pete Buttigieg is one of our absolute best communicators, and you know, we're seeing that now. I think her saying that, hopefully opens up a door for Pete to run again for president, and you know, we'll see where all that lands, and whether the country, you know, is ready to have him lead us," Conrad told Fox News Digital in a Thursday interview.Conrad, who underscored the book also sets up Harris for potentially launching another presidential run of her own, spoke to Fox News Digital ahead of the memoir's official Tuesday release. Only a handful of excerpts of the book, "107 Days," so far have been released to the public, including The Atlantic most recently reporting that Harris initially wanted Buttigieg as her running mate before ultimately choosing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.Buttigieg "would have been an ideal partnerif I were a straight white man," Harris wrote in the upcoming book, according to The Atlantic.KAMALA HARRIS COMPLAINS ABOUT 'IMPOSSIBLE' LACK OF SUPPORT FROM BIDEN'S COMMS TEAM, INNER CIRCLE"But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man. Part of me wanted to say, Screw it, lets just do it. But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk," the excerpt of the book continued, referring to tapping a gay man for the ticket as risky."And I think Pete also knew thatto our mutual sadness."HARRIS TAPS DEM EMAILS LISTS TO MARKET NEW BOOK, SPARKING PARTY NEUTRALITY CONCERNSMedia pundits and D.C. insiders took issue with Walz serving as her running mate following the November 2024 election loss to President Donald Trump, as they argued popular Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro or Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly or others could have better served the campaign against Trump.For Conrad, the excerpt gives a nod to Buttigieg as a "national leader" who could throw his hat in the presidential contender ring in the next cycle. Buttigieg previously ran for president in 2020 before dropping out and endorsing President Joe Biden to succeed Trump in the Oval Office."We won't know whether if she had added Pete as her running mate, if that would have changed anything," Conrad said. "I don't think it would have. But I think that it's a, you know, a good sort of nod towards Pete that he is a national leader that we should be looking towards as potentially being someone that could that could win the nomination in 2028."The DNC vice chair, who is also chair of the Washington State Democratic Party, defended Walz as a "happy warrior" who "could speak the language of the working class."KAMALA HARRIS TO PUBLISH BEHIND-THE-SCENES ACCOUNT OF FAILED 2024 CAMPAIGN"There's a lot of calculations and amount of time about what we would need for a winning ticket," she said. "Personally, I thought that, you know, Gov. Walz was a fantastic running mate for her. And when I met him last year, I told him, I jokingly said that we'd grown him in a lab, because he really felt to me like perfect for the moment."In response to the excerpts, Buttigieg told the media Thursday that he believes in "giving Americans more credit" than basing their votes on "categories."NEW BOOK SHEDS LIGHT ON HARRIS DECISION TO PICK WALZ AS HER RUNNING MATE OVER SHAPIRO: 'WENT WITH HER GUT'"My experience in politics has been that the way that you earn trust with voters is based mostly on what they think youre going to do for their lives, not on categories," Buttigieg told Politico during a ribbon cutting ceremony at a Democratic Party office in Indiana.The book allows Harris to "speak her truth" on the wild 2024 election cycle, Conrad added, which includes excerpts acknowledging Biden "got tired" while on the campaign trail but denied any "big conspiracy at the White House to hide Joe Bidens infirmity."It's "good that she's sort of getting an opportunity to tell her version of events and be able to be more fully herself," Conrad said. "That's what I've been seeing from these excerpts. Is, you know, a real sense that she, I think, felt very managed and very kind of controlled for much of her time, both as VP and as a candidate. And this is sort of her opportunity to just speak her truth."Fox News Digital reached out to representatives for Buttigieg and Harris, but did not immediately receive replies.

A witness who had picked a Miami football player's alleged murderer out of a lineup multiple times was presumed dead.However, last month, reporters from ESPN found Paul Conner, 81, alive at his home in Louisville.Conner lived at the same apartment complex as Bryan Pata, a Miami football standout who was killed Nov. 7, 2006. He testified that he saw a man "jogging" after he heard a loud "pop" in the complex.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThat man was Rashaun Jones, who has been in custody for four years awaiting trial for Pata's murder.Prosecutors told a Florida judge as recently as July that Conner was dead, relying on a public database that "seemed to indicate" Conner was not alive."Is there an impact of that on the case?

U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert is being pushed out of his role as the top prosecutor of the Eastern District of Virginia, a move that comes as some Trump administration officials are seeking to bring charges in that district against New York Attorney General Letitia James.Siebert's perceived unwillingness to bring charges against James, one of Trump's top political nemeses, is the main reason for his ouster, according to multiple sources who spoke to Fox News.Siebert, who has worked in the Eastern District of Virginia since 2010, has not yet been confirmed in the Senate and was on track to be. Now, according to one of the sources, the White House has told Siebert to resign or be fired.NY AG'S OFFICE HIRES ATTORNEY THAT REPPED HUNTER BIDEN TO DEFEND LETITIA JAMES AGAINST FRAUD ACCUSATIONSA housing and finance banker familiar with the investigation into James told Fox News the mortgage fraud case against her is viable and that she is under scrutiny for, in at least one instance, declaring an investment property she owns as her primary or secondary residence, which would give her better loan terms.Siebert declined to comment on the news of his ouster.The Eastern District of Virginia is one of the most closely watched U.S. attorney's offices in the country, known in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks for successfully prosecuting Zacarias Moussaoui, who is serving life in prison for his role in planning the attacks.The Eastern District of Virginia has since been a go-to office for high-profile national security and counterterrorism cases.ABC News first reported on the Trump administrations plans to fire Siebert.U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin was given authority by Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead the investigation of James. Martin's one-time nomination to be D.C. U.S. attorney was withdrawn this year amid concerns from certain Republicans about his lack of experience.In a letter to Martin last month, James attorney Abbe Lowell said he did not think Martin was "conducting a serious investigation or review of mortgage fraud, and that, despite the lack of evidence or law, you will take whatever actions you have been directed to take to make good on President Trumps and Attorney General Bondis calls for revenge for that reason alone."Fox News reached out to James' attorney for comment. The White House and the DOJ declined to comment.This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
