    Luigi Mangione defense makes stunning new bid to quash death penalty charge in UnitedHealth CEO slaying
    Lawyers for Luigi Mangione on Saturday asked a federal judge in Manhattan to dismiss several federal charges, including the only count that could carry the death penalty.In court filings reviewed by Fox News Digital, the defense argued that prosecutors have stretched federal statutes beyond their intent and engaged in overreach meant to sensationalize the killing. They also said the case should be tried in state court, not federal court.His lawyers also said prosecutors should be prevented from using his statements to law enforcement officers at trial, arguing that Mangione wasnt read his Miranda rights at a McDonalds before being questioned. They argued that anything he said afterward shouldnt be admissible.MANGIONE DEFENSE CLAIMS HIS 'BEAUTIFUL, PROMISING LIFE DERAILED' IN UNITEDHEALTHCARE CEO MURDER CASEThey also argue that police searched his backpack, where a gun and ammunition were found, without a warrant after his arrest, violating Fourth Amendment protections against unlawful searches.The papers argued that the death penalty charge should be dismissed because prosecutors have failed to identify the other offenses that would be required to convict him, writing that the other alleged crime stalking is not a crime of violence.Murder cases are usually tried in state courts, but prosecutors have also charged Mangione under a federal law on murders committed with firearms as part of other "crimes of violence." Its the only charge for which Mangione could face the death penalty, since it's not used in New York state.MANGIONE SUPPORTERS PUSH 'JURY NULLIFICATION' AS UNITEDHEALTHCARE CEO ASSASSINATION TRIAL LOOMSMangione is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on Dec. 4 outside a Manhattan hotel where the insurance company was hosting an investors conference. The execution-style slaying was caught on camera, with prosecutors alleging Mangione targeted Thompson due to financial and corporate disputes.Mangione fled the scene but was captured days later.The assassination and its aftermath have captured the American imagination, setting off a cascade of resentment andonline vitrioltoward U.S. health insurers, whilealso rattling corporate executivesconcerned about security.Mangione has already pleaded not guilty. His lawyers said that the governments case relies heavily on circumstantial evidence and procedural overreach, not proof of intent or organized criminal activity.Last month, lawyers for Mangione asked that his federal charges be dismissed and that the death penalty be taken off the table as a result of public comments by Attorney General Pam Bondi. In April, Bondi directed prosecutors in New York to seek the death penalty, calling the killing of Thompson a "premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America."Mangione is being represented by Karen Friedman Agnifilo, a high-profile New York defense attorney who is also a former Manhattan prosecutor and former CNN legal analyst.Judge Miriam Goldberg of the Southern District of New York has set oral arguments for Dec. 5.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    Overlooked supplement could slow aging and boost brain and heart health, expert says
    Creatine is often associated with hitting the gym and building muscle but the supplement, typically taken in powder or capsule form, has recently been linked to a variety of other uses and benefits.Singer Ciara told Business Insider last month that she takes creatine not just for muscle boosting, but also to support energy levels throughout the day.Actor Mark Wahlberg has also hopped onto the trend, creating his own creatine monohydrate product, while health gurus like Stanford neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman have touted its various neurological benefits.CREATINE MAY NOT BUILD MORE MUSCLE AFTER ALL, STUDY SUGGESTSCreatine is a natural compound mostly stored in the muscles, with smaller amounts in the brain, liver and kidneys, according to registered dietitian nutritionist Sam McKinney of Life Time Fitness in Minneapolis."Our bodies need adenosine triphosphate (ATP for short) for energy and to maximize performance in high-intensity exercise and creatine steps in by donating a phosphate group to help produce additional ATP," she said in an interview with Fox News Digital.TRENDING BEDTIME HACK SAID TO IMPROVE SLEEP, BUT EXPERTS ARENT SO SURE"It is most well-known for its role in increasing power output and force during exercise and, as a result, its impact on muscle growth, healthy body composition and athletic performance."McKinney confirmed that creatine has been garnering more attention recently for "broader" functions of cognition and memory, recovery, blood sugar control, energy levels, heart health and neurological health.Women typically have 70% to 80% lower creatine stores than men, McKinney said. Creatine supplementation can be beneficial during hormone changes, like menstrual cycles, pregnancy, post-partum and menopause.Some studies have been done on creatine and cognitive health, according to McKinney, with mixed but "encouraging" results.In one small study, individuals with depression saw improvement with 3 to 5 grams of daily creatine, but individuals with bipolar disorder saw symptoms worsen.NEW 'CLEAR PROTEIN' HACK MUSCLES IN AS LATEST TREND IN THE BATTLE OF THE BULGEAnother study found that creatine can help support those with traumatic brain injuries, showing improvements in amnesia, headaches and fatigue."There may be some potential benefits to memory and intelligence scores from creatine as well," McKinney said. "These cognitive health benefits are often more pronounced in those who are at risk for lower phosphocreatine stores, such as vegetarians, vegans and the elderly population."On Hubermans website, in the description of a "Huberman Lab" podcast clip, creatine is described as the "'Michael Jordan' of supplements."In another clip, the neuroscientist says creatine can be used as a "fuel source in the brain," with some evidence that it can connect with areas involved in mood regulation and motivation.There is also evidence that creatine may have some heart health benefits, as the heart uses ATP for energy like "any other muscle in the body," McKinney said."Creatine plays a big role in the heart's contraction and energy," she said. "So, in turn, creatine could help to support energy supplied to the heart that is needed to deal with stress or periods of an increased workload, such as exercise."SHOULD YOU SWAP FISH OIL WITH KRILL OIL? EXPERTS WEIGH IN ON THE POPULAR ALTERNATIVECreatine supplementation has also been shown to improve outcomes from heart bypass surgery and the balance of oxygen in the heart, according to McKinney.Combining creatine with nutrients like vitamin B12 may also help promote better overall energy and heart function.Since creatine helps with muscle building, McKinney noted that it also helps to increase lifespan, as muscle decreases with age."Using creatine can help mitigate these losses and help us to stay strong, mobile and independent," she said. "When it comes to aging, the positive impacts of creatine are most significant when combined with an effective resistance training routine."Some specific benefits of creatine include improved grip strength and lower body endurance, according to McKinney "both of which are markers of mobility and health in the elderly."McKinney referenced another study that suggests creatine could help keep bones strong when combined with a strength training program.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"The reason could be associated with the benefits of creatine and power output (making the workouts more effective), or with increases in muscle mass adding more tension to the bone, which supports bone strength," she said.Daily creatine doses can range from 2 to 10 grams per day, but McKinney said most people see benefits with a daily ongoing dose of 5 grams. She recommends creatine monohydrate the most common and well-researched form as the best option."While there are a lot of misconceptions about creatine, in reality, its one of the safest and most effective supplement options on the market for most people," the expert told Fox News Digital. "Creatine also is not a steroid and does not have a negative impact on kidney function in healthy people."Those who have pre-existing kidney issues should exercise caution when taking creatine.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/health"When used orally at appropriate doses, creatine is likely safe to take for up to five years," Mayo Clinic states on its website. "As with any dietary supplement, it's important to choose a product that follows recommended manufacturing practices and subscribes to third-party testing to ensure the product's quality."Before beginning the supplement, experts recommend seeing a doctor to discuss the appropriate individualized approach.

    DAVID MARCUS: Ciattarelli backers channel rally magic of Trump, Kirk at NJ event
    Theres a strong argument to be made that Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk are the two most significant conservative figures in the country over the past decade, and New Jersey GOP gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli clearly has been taking notes.In an age of screens and isolation, Trump and Kirk have always understood how powerful actual human presence and interaction are and that was on full display Friday night in this South Jersey beach town.DAVID MARCUS: FOR JACK CIATTARELLI, SOUTH JERSEY AND VOTER ENTHUSIASM ARE KEYS TO VICTORYBy my count, about 800 people showed up on the boardwalk. Among them was 24-year-old Alex, in a gold MAGA hat and sunglasses."It just kind of taps into the humanity of it all," he told me, adding, "When we are battling on the internet, we forget the kind of common ground that can exist."Diane and Renee were out with their husbands at the event, and Diane told me of live rallies: "I feel like it brings us together more, and it makes us feel like, Lets go!"Dominic, a schoolteacher in his 50s, told me hes often frustrated by the woke education agenda. He credited Kirk with using live events to "ignite something in the youth of America."It wasnt just voters but also candidates who saw the value in the in-person rally. Billy Prempeh, who lost the race for Congress in New Jerseys 9th District last time and is running again, told me, "President Trump had the first Wildwood rally here, and it was a massive success."As far as issues went, energy prices were top of mind, as were taxes and crime. But there was an electricity that transcended any particular policy concern and turned the event into an urgent call for "taking New Jersey back."Inside the Seaport Pier, just before the entrance to the boardwalk stage, voters chatted at tables, enjoying a buffet courtesy of CapeGOP, which organized the event and provided its amiable host, Mike Donahue.The Turning Point USA table Kirks most tangible legacy was abuzz. Its young organizers were crafting plans to sweep across schools in the Garden State.It was fun, it was festive, it was hopeful.These days, when you get more than 100 Democrats together in the same place, things tend to start catching on fire often American flags. But for the GOP, these events arent just peaceful; theyre genuinely joyous.This image of the happy conservative warrior was personified by everyone I talked to, and that image of the GOP plays extremely well across the country.In fact, another part of the secret sauce that made Trump and Kirks rallies so successful is that they often took place in parts of the country where relatively few people venture. Trump preferred pulling up to a small-town airport for a rally rather than a big city. Kirks events spanned so-called flyover country.Theres no escaping the feeling that one is at a tent revival at conservative political rallies these days. God is on the lips of many speakers and attendees unabashedly so not as something to be tolerated but celebrated.In the post-COVID world, Republicans across the nation would be wise to lean hard into these live events with music, food and maybe even a couple of beers.Its not just the 800 people who actually came to Wildwood on Friday who are important here its everyone theyll tell about it. Its the kind of enthusiasm that turns one voter into many voters.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThough Ciattarelli roused the crowd admirably, it was GOP get-out-the-vote guru Scott Presler, with his dark, flowing mane, who drew the most attention from the crowd and fielded the most selfie requests. Those are incredibly valuable voters.Charlie Kirk understood, and President Trump understands, that live events, rallies and simply being in one anothers good company mean an enormous amount to people. As Democrats succumb more and more to angry cursing, the fun of the GOP is a strong counterpoint.Trump has floated the idea of a midterm national convention next year. Not only should Republicans do this, but it should be a blowout a family-friendly amusement park of the American dream, something the whole country can watch in awe.One month after Kirk was assassinated at his event in Utah, the speakers and the crowd on the boardwalk this weekend stood unbowed and unafraid of those who wish them harm. They stood for their party, their country and Charlie Kirk and also for Jack Ciattarelli, who hopes to convince voters that a happy conservative warrior can lead the Garden State yet again.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM DAVID MARCUS

Its website states that the 130-foot pole was added on Aug. 4, 2020."After some careful maneuvering, the pole was secured in front of the dealership building, and we raised our U.S. flag, measuring 80 ft. x 40 ft., for all to see," according to the site.

THE SOUTH'S MOST HEATED FOOD DEBATE RETURNS AMID LOGO SAGADisplaying large American flags, Johnson said, "reinforces [Steak 'n Shakes'] alignment with [conservative] values, strengthens its emotional connection with its target audience and differentiates itself from competitors."He added, "This strategy not only underscores its commitment to patriotism but also clearly signals its intent to appeal to a defined segment of the marketplace."Brand expert Crystal Gorges echoed Johnson's thoughts, noting that Steak 'n Shake "has a long history as a classic American roadside brand.""Flying big flags is a simple but powerful way to remind people of that heritage," she told Fox News Digital. "From a branding perspective, it is a bold move to stand out at a time when many companies avoid clear cultural signals."She added, "Of course, when a company makes such a visible statement, it has to feel genuine for customers to embrace it."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER"Steak 'n Shake has shown it can back up its symbolism with action, from preserving its classic diner style to leaning into heritage menu items that keep the brand's story alive."The chain's announcement went viral and attracted attention from both sides of the political aisle. One X user called it a "brilliant marketing ploy.""I have never been inside a Steak 'n Shake, and flying a big a-- American flag will not make me go in there," the person wrote. "The MAGA idiot masses will flock there."Another person said, "Love a good American flag. But if Steak 'n Shake is going full MAGA, I'm done with them."MORE FROM FOX NEWS LIFESTYLEA third user wrote, "Kinda sad to learn Steak 'n Shake is Maga. Sigh. They had really good food."But the vast majority of reactions to the flag were positive, attracting praise from some of the largest conservative-leaning accounts on X."I'm ordering from there tomorrow!" wrote Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Actor James Woods said that the chain was "setting an excellent example for all of us.""Be sure to patronize establishments that proudly declare their love of America," he added.The flag installation is the most recent marketing move by the company as the chain openly embraces more conservative messaging.

    One month after Charlie Kirks murder, key questions remain unanswered
    It's been one month since Charlie Kirk was assassinated while participating in a debate event at Utah Valley University (UVU), and still several questions remain.While the university has a "September 10 Charlie Kirk Event FAQ" section on its website, many of the provided answers, if not all of them, have been known for some time. This includes the type of event, the number of people in attendance, whether Kirk had been to the campus before and a brief reference to security measures, among other topics.FOX 13 News Utah, based in Salt Lake City, reported that its public records requests regarding the assassination remained in limbo, as the university had neither granted nor denied them. The station said it received notices that the university needs more time to respond due to the "high volume" of requests.UTAH GOV MARKS TURNING POINT AS TPUSA RETURNS AFTER CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATIONEX-FBI AGENT TURNED UVU PROFESSOR BREAKS DOWN THE EVIDENCE TRAIL TYLER ROBINSON LEFT FOR DETECTIVESThe outlet said it requested the event application that Turning Point USA (TPUSA) submitted, as well as records describing security preparations for the event. UVU's website touches on the security measures that were taken, though it simply states, "Kirks lead security staff coordinated with UVU Police Chief Jeff Long regarding the security measures."A Utah law, known as the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA), requires public records requests be answered within 10 business days of their being submitted. In those 10 days, the entity can deny the request, grant it or say that it does not maintain the record requested. Additionally, it can notify the person or entity making the request that there are "extraordinary circumstances" that prevent it from responding within the 10-day period.UVU qualifies as a government entity under GRAMA and even has a section on its website where requests can be submitted.Kirk, the founder and CEO of TPUSA, was fatally shot during a debate event on Sept. 10 at UVU, which was the inaugural stop on his "American Comeback Tour."Around 12:10 p.m. MDT, a single shot, from approximately 200 yards away, struck Kirk in the neck, according to authorities. Utah Department of Public Safety Commissioner Beau Mason said that the shooter fired from a nearby roof. Kirk was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead."This is a dark day for our state. It's a tragic day for our nation," Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said on Sept. 10. "I want to be very clear that this is a political assassination." Cox spoke about America's upcoming 250th birthday, saying that the assassination of Kirk was an affront to the founders' vision.He also said that "Charlie believed in the power of free speech and debate to shape ideas and to persuade people."ACCUSED CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSIN WANTS TO DITCH JAIL CLOTHES FOR UPCOMING COURT APPEARANCESTyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating Kirk, is facing charges of aggravated murder, obstruction and witness tampering. If convicted, he could face the death penalty. He was arrested in St. George, Utah, after authorities said his family confronted him about his resemblance to law enforcement photos of the suspect, leading him to allegedling admitting his involvement.It is still unclear how exactly Robinson managed to flee the scene. While surveillance video shows him arriving on campus at approximately 8:30 a.m. MDT, his precise escape route and movements after the shooting remain a mystery.On Friday, exactly one month after Kirk was assassinated, Robinson requested permission to wear civilian clothes in court and to appear without shackles and cuffs. Attorneys representing Robinson cited Idaho student murderer Bryan Kohberger's case in their argument that the motion would preserve his constitutional rights to a fair trial.They argued that "the repeated and ubiquitous display" of photos showing their client in a jail jumpsuit "will inevitably lead to prospective juror perception that he is guilty and deserving of death."Robinson has not yet entered a plea and is due back in court on Oct. 30.Fox News Digital reached out to UVU for comment but did not immediately receive a response.Fox News Digital's Sarah Rumpf-Whitten, Michael Ruiz, Julia Bonavita and Lee Ross contributed to this report.

And then guys all across the United States began to write about it.""I thought it was funny, but strange," she chuckled. "Suddenly, the standards and practices, or whatever they called it in the film industry, realized I had a belly button. Even the studio realized I had a belly button! But before that, no problem."Eden said no one at the studio initially insisted she cover her navel until the playful rumors spread like wildfire."They said I had to have the waist come up high," she explained. "But not only that I wore dancers pantyhose, which are pretty thick, plus a pair of underwear over that, and then the chiffon. And then there was silk inside. It was so funny. All I could do was laugh at the whole thing. And men would come down to the set just to stare at my belly. It was a lot of foolishness, but fun."Eden gave input on one thing about her midriff-baring costume."The color," she said. "Gwen Wakeling,an Oscar-winning costume designer, came to me and showed me her sketches. And of course, I loved them. Then she said, Whats your favorite color? I said, Well, it depends. Right now, its hot pink. And she went with pink. Im still so happy she did that."The star said that over the years, she never felt Jeannies powerful presence overshadowed her Hollywood career.WATCH: ELVIS PRESLEY'S 1968 BORDELLO SCENE WAS CUT FOR BEING TOO RACY: DOC"I was always content and happy with her," she explained. "Even when I was doing Jeannie, I was lucky enough to still be doing other things. I opened the MGM Grand inLas Vegas. I went back to singing again.""When we had breaks shooting Jeannie, I would do another film in between and then go back. It was a long ping-pong. And Im so pleased that people still like her. I had no idea that the show would have the impact that its had all over the world.""Back then, I didnt think about being famous," she reflected. "I was just working. I didnt have time to sit back and say, I made it. I just didnt. You cant do that when youre working hard."

    Rahm Emanuel agrees that 'President Trump deserves credit' for Israel-Hamas peace deal
    Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel appeared on C-SPAN's "Ceasefire" on Friday where he said that President Donald Trump "deserves credit" for securing a peace deal between Israel and Hamas earlier this week."I have no problem saying it. President Trump deserves credit here. Some in my party won't say that, I think he does," said Emanuel, who served as a top aide to former President Barack Obama.The former mayor added that Trump's success in brokering the peace deal "accrues to America's benefit" and reaffirms that the United States is the "essential power around the world."WHITE HOUSE TURNS TO EXPANDING ABRAHAM ACCORDS AFTER ISRAEL-HAMAS CEASEFIRE"We shouldn't back off from that responsibility, and we just proved this in spades, something that neither Russia, China nor any other country could have done what we just did, and that's good for the United States and that means power doesn't stay in the region," he said.Aside from acknowledging Trump's role in securing the peace deal, Emanuel also credited Israeli and Palestinian civilians for applying pressure on their governments to come to the table and end the bloodshed."Netanyahu or the leadership of Hamas wouldn't have done this if it wasn't also pressure from the Israeli public or the Palestinians in Gaza Strip," the former mayor argued. "They deserve a call out for their own pressure, never giving up, going down to the vigils for the hostages, never giving up in the sense of pressuring today in an election, Hamas couldn't win, and they know that."NEW YORK TIMES ANALYSIS SAYS TRUMP HAS LEGITIMATE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE CLAIM IF MIDEAST PEACE DEAL HOLDS"And so, to me, this is an example of President Trump and his administration. I have no problem saying that," he added.While Emanuel acknowledged the peace deal as a step toward ending the conflict, he cautioned that, given his experience in the Middle East, "this is the first chapter of what comes next, not the last chapter of what just closed."He urged the president and his administration to remain actively engaged in securing lasting peace and to apply the same pressure used on Netanyahu and Hamas leaders to other world figures, including Russian President Vladimir Putin."Will the president take the lessons of how he applied pressure on Bibi Netanyahu to apply pressure on Putin, who's in a very vulnerable, weak position across the globe and in the region in this war which is a huge mistake, and he knows it. Will he take this lesson and do what he has never done in his career, apply pressure to Putin?" Emanuel questioned.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREFormer Vice President Mike Pence also appeared on the "Ceasefire" panel on Friday and praised Emanuel for crossing party lines and giving Trump credit for his work in brokering the peace deal.Host Dasha Burns asked the two men, given their experience of being involved in high-stakes negotiations, to explain how a peace deal like the one between Israel and Hamas comes about and how to make it last."Well, I think it takesand Im grateful for Rahm speaking plainly about giving President Trump credit here. Look, I think the Presidents consistent support for Israel doing what it had to do after the horrors of October 7th two years agoI mean, Dasha and I traveled a few months after October 7th to communities that were struck," Pence replied.Continuing, the former vice president added: "There were literally still bullet holes in the walls and blood on the carpets in Kfar Aza. I went to the field where the young people had been brutalized and cut down and murdered. And the ability to stay with Israel as they did what needed to be done and the presidents relentless pursuit for peace here and that of his team, I think, is to be commended."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
