"Original Sin" co-author and Axios reporter Alex Thompson told MSNBC on Sunday that there needs to be "investigative reporting" on President Donald Trumps health after being "untransparent" about his records.In light of several revelations about an alleged cover-up of former President Joe Bidens health in Thompsons book, "The Weekend: Primetime" co-host Ayman Mohyeldin asked him whether there is now a "double standard" in coverage for Bidens health compared to Trumps."And, certainly now, is there a double standard with the way we are covering it? I mean, are you out there also investigating and reporting about Trumps health in the same rigor that you did this book?" Mohyeldin asked.'ORIGINAL SIN' CO-AUTHOR EXPOSES 'FRANTIC EFFORTS' TO HIDE BIDEN'S COGNITIVE DECLINEThompson said that while they knew little about Bidens health at the time, they knew "even less" about Trumps."He was completely untransparent during the 2023-2024 campaign," Thompson said. "He has not been transparent since, and there is no mechanism forcing him or any future president to be transparent about their health. He could be on anything. We really have no idea. So I think its a really vital question."He added that he has covered the lack of transparency from Trump in the past and considered the subject "completely fair.""Donald Trump was older on his inauguration day than Joe Biden was on his. Donald Trumps health is completely fair game, and there should be incredibly investigative reporting on how its affecting his job as president," Thompson said.CNN host and Thompsons co-author Jake Tapper also claimed on Thursday that Trump has not been forthcoming about his health while promoting his book on CNN."When it comes to the president, President Trump, while he appears healthy, he has not been transparent about his health records," Tapper said. "And I think that thats something that the American people have a right to."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREAs he faced criticism for taking part in what many believe was an alleged media cover-up of Bidens health, Tapper went on to insist there needed to be more force when it comes to reporting on the president."I just think in general, not Trump specific, but in general, I think that the press corps, and Im certainly including myself, needs to worry less about politeness when it comes to these health issues and needs to be even more aggressive when it comes to demanding transparency on health issues," Tapper said.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

Cucumbers, deli meat and eggs are just a few of the everyday grocery items that made a list from Consumer Reports of "10 Really Risky Foods Right Now."It's based on the number of illnesses and deaths in 2024, how widespread the outbreaks were, the number of recalls and the amount of food recalled.There was a 41% jump in food recalls due to possible contamination with salmonella, E. coli and listeria in 2024 compared with the year before, according to the U.S. Public Interest Research Group Education Fund.FEWER FOOD RECALLS YET MORE AMERICANS SICKENED IN 2024 THAN PREVIOUS YEAR, SAYS NEW REPORTEach year, Consumer Reports ranks the 10 foods linked to the largest U.S. recalls and most serious illness outbreaks caused by bacterial contamination.The company uses data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).Max Teplitski, chief science officer for the International Fresh Produce Association (IFPA), told Fox News Digital the conversation about outbreaks is complicated.Every year, new technology improves the ability to detect outbreaks and therefore issue recalls that reach the public, he said."Now that we have molecular tools, we can connect two seemingly different cases," Teplitski said. "And once you have two cases, you have an outbreak."That doesn't make one food on the list riskier going forward, he said. Consumer Reports measures what has happened in a particular year.PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST E. COLI AND KNOW WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR"The way these data and studies are generated is looking at the retroactive or prospective data analysis," he said.Below are the 10 risky foods on the list.A case of listeria in liverwurst at a Boar's Head plant contributed to the biggest outbreak of foodborne illness last year, causing the company to recall 7 million pounds of deli meats.Due to the handling of sliced meats at the processor and then the deli counter, there is a greater risk of bacterial infection. Deli meat is one of the items the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) monitors to protect consumers.Certain people should be especially careful when it comes to eating cold cuts, according to Beverly Lopez, food safety specialist for the FSIS."The group at greater risk for foodborne illness, particularly deli meats, includes infants, young children, pregnant women and their unborn babies, older adults and people with weakened immune systems," she told Fox News Digital. "These groups are more susceptible to severe illness or complications."Both whole and sliced cucumbers sold in grocery stores were involved in outbreaks in 2024.But Teplitski said he doesn't think it's anything specific to cucumbers.Like other produce, cucumbers are grown in open fields and therefore subject to pathogens that are present in soil, he said.He recommends that shoppers avoid any produce that looks damaged or bruised, as they could more easily be infected if the skin is broken.CUCUMBER SHORTAGES IN ICELAND BLAMED ON TIKTOK CRAZE: 'FIRST TIME WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SOMETHING LIKE THIS'Thoroughly washing all produce is an important way people can protect themselves, he added.Pasteurization kills bacteria and viruses in dairy products by heating them to 161 degrees Farenheit.But raw milk and cheese, often consumed for the health benefits of being "unprocessed," can be left vulnerable to salmonella and E. coli.That's what happened in two separate outbreaks at raw farms last year.NATIONAL RAW MILK REGULATIONS LIKELY COMING WITH NEW ADMINISTRATION, SAYS RAW FARM BOSSEven though the FDA requires raw dairy products to be aged for 60 days to kill bacteria, there's still a chance someone could get sick consuming them.Soft cheese, which includes Brie, is a perfect breeding ground for listeria because of its high water content and low acidity, according to the CDC.Rio Lopz Foods battled a years-long outbreak with its cotija and queso fresco cheese that affected 11 states, FOX Business previously reported.CHEESE DISCOVERED INSIDE COFFIN WITH ANCIENT MUMMIES DATES BACK THOUSANDS OF YEARSHard cheese like cheddar and Parmesan are safer options.Salmonella wreaked havoc in 12 states during an outbreak at Milo's Poultry Farms last year, while Handsome Brooks Farms eggs, sold at Costco, were recalled with no illnesses reported.Salmonella can be present inside the egg and on the shell, according to FoodSafety.gov so don't use eggs with broken shells and be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling raw eggs.LIQUID EGG FOOD PRODUCTS ARE RECALLED, MAY HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED NATIONWIDECook eggs until they are firm, not runny, to kill any bacteria that may be present.Some people who ate McDonald's Quarter Pounders, with their signature raw slivered onions, became sick due to an E. coli outbreak last year.(The FDA investigated whether Taylor Farms, which supplied the onions to McDonald's in the areas where the E. coli outbreak occurred, was the source of the contamination. McDonald's removed beef and onions from its supply chain after the CDC informed them of the outbreak, and Taylor Farms issued a recall of yellow onions in Oct. 2024, FOX Business reported last year. Beef was ruled out as the source.)Again, produce items are subject to contamination through soil and water.ARE ONIONS SAFE TO EAT AFTER THE E. COLI OUTBREAK? WHAT YOU MUST KNOWIn addition to careful washing, Teplitski recommends keeping produce separate, starting at the grocery store, to prevent cross contamination from one item to another.Fresh spinach and a romaine-iceberg lettuce mix caused two E. coli outbreaks after they were shipped to restaurants and schools last year, according to Consumer Reports.Some types of fruits and vegetables are consumed more than others in a typical diet, Teplitski said, such as cucumbers, onions and leafy greens.Teplitski said it's "just a numbers game sometimes."IS A SALAD ALWAYS A BETTER CHOICE THAN A SANDWICH? THINK TWICE ABOUT THAT"Some vegetables and fruits are consumed much more rarely, so they're less likely to appear on those tables," he said."But if we look at the totality of the millions of pounds of cucumbers and leafy greens and onions that are consumed daily by Americans, the risk of illness is trending close to zero."Organically grown produce is not immune to bacteria from the soil and water.Bagged carrots a household staple for many from Grimmway Farms were the subject of a recall last November.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERWashing and peeling raw vegetables can reduce the potential for bacteria on the surface, but cooking is a safer bet.This savory herb, packaged by Infinite Herbs, was contaminated with salmonella and sickened people in 14 states.Teplitski said the produce industry has invested nearly $50 million into understanding the causes of outbreaks, how human pathogens persist in the environment and how wild and domestic animals can contribute to negative food safety outcomes.For more Lifestyle articles, visitfoxnews.com/lifestyle"What I can say is that today, the fresh produce is the safest it's ever been in human history," he said. "We continue to learn and invest in the tools to make food safer from the field all the way to the plate."Though cooking is a way to reduce the presence of viruses and bacteria, cooked items that are handled and processed can pick up pathogens."Perishable food such as meat, poultry and egg products must be handled safely from purchase through consumption to prevent foodborne illness," Lopez said.Two leading causes of foodborne illness are eating raw or undercooked foods and allowing food to remain at an unsafe temperature too long, Lopez said."For example, leaving cooked foods out to cool after cooking or leaving perishable foods out of the refrigerator for more than two hours," she said."Everyone should be mindful of safe food handling."

As the NFL world waits with bated breath to see what Aaron Rodgers will decide to do with his playing career, he spoke about the possibility of signing a one-day contract with the Green Bay Packers to retire with the team that chose him in the first round of the 2005 draft.It is not uncommon for players to return to their original team, sign a one-day deal and eventually retire. It is all for ceremony, sure, but if Rodgers were to do it, it would seemingly bury the hatchet of perceived animosity between the star quarterback and the organization.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMHe was asked during a Q&A during a live episode of the "YNK Podcast" whether he considered that possibility."There's a lot of love for me and how I feel about the team," Rodgers said. "If I do or I don't (retire with the Packers), I don't think it should make a difference. I'm not sure yet. If they approached me about it, I probably would."I've thought about that, but I don't understand what the reason for that is. At the same time, I grew up a (San Francisco 49ers) fan and most of my favorite players retired as a Niner. Jerry Rice, who went to three other teams, came back and retired as a Niner, so I understand the cool thing about it, but if I didn't do it, would that make a difference in how I'm viewed in the Packers' eyes?"AARON RODGERS REVEALS TEAM HE HAS NO INTEREST PLAYING FOR AS FREE AGENCY DECISION LOOMSRodgers rocky relationship with the Packers ended during the 2023 offseason. He was traded to the New York Jets. He previously said in 2022 that he would retire with the organization as long as the team did not trade him.Packers President Mark Murphy expressed hope in 2023 that the organization would retire his number and bring him back in "at the appropriate time." He is set to leave his post in the organization.Rodgers was a 10-time Pro Bowler with the Packers, a four-time NFL MVP and won a Super Bowl with the team.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

FOX DIGITAL REVIEW: Progressive Newark, New Jersey, Mayor Ras Baraka, one of the top Democratic candidates for New Jersey governor,has a record of associating with alleged abusers of women and has been accused of fostering a toxic work environment for women in his administration, a Fox News Digital review found.Baraka, who has been mayor of Newark since 2014, hired his brother, Amiri Baraka Jr., as his chief of staff. In June 2020, Sebrivious Scott, a woman who was hired through a prisoner reentry program, accused Baraka Jr. of silencing her after she raised concerns about being sexually assaulted.Scott alleged that she spoke with Baraka Jr. about being sexually assaulted by her boss and about being denied full-time employment for refusing sexual favors, Real Garden State reported.Instead of helping, Baraka Jr. allegedly informed Scott that no steps would be taken to address her complaints and said, "Dont be coming here complaining about discrimination. You should be happy you have a job."WATCH: NEWARK MAYOR COMPARES SELF TO BIBLICAL HERO IN WAKE OF ICE PROTEST ARREST: 'THIS IS OUR DAVID MOMENT'Scott further claimed that her inquiries about her full-time application were ignored by her supervisors, including Mayor Baraka. Scott claimed numerous men hired through the reentry program obtained full-time positions upon completing the program as she waited.In a 2020 Facebook post reacting to another user who posted support for Scott along with the Real Garden State article and a comment of "keep your head up cuzzo," Scott wrote, "Cuzz I'm trying. Just need all the support I can get against these monsters. I'm not afraid."When Fox News Digital reached out for comment, Scott said, "They actually just settled after fighting this since 2018." However, she declined to go into details of the settlement, citing her lawyer's advice.Baraka also hired another brother, Obalaji Jones, as a youth opportunity coordinator who was later accused of sexual assault. In 2017, Dannisha Clyburn, a former City of Newark employee, accused Jones of sexually assaulting her in 2013 and attempted sexual assault in 2015, TapInto Livingston reported.According to Clyburn, Jones called her into a dark room and inappropriately touched her without her consent at a 2013 political speech by Baraka. She further claimed that Jones attempted to assault her again by calling her into a private room during a childrens event in 2015.Clyburn, who previously served time in prison, told the outlet she had been a political supporter of Baraka but came forward because she did not want to see other women victimized."Your brother Obalaji, hes a whole other monster," Clyburn posted on Facebook, addressing Baraka directly."Your brother, you better get him out of here. He is a predator. He is a menace to our city. And if you know, you taught us best. If you see something, you say something. I learned that from you, Ras Baraka," Clyburn said, according to Politico's New Jersey Playbook. "So Ive seen something, I heard something, and Im saying something. Im speaking for every person, every female, every male that cant come forward and are afraid to come forward."Former Newark Councilwoman Gayle Chaneyfield Jenkins, who ran against Baraka for mayor in 2018, accused Barakas administration of widespread abuse in which many women were pressured into sexual favors in exchange for jobs, according to a 2018 report from TapInto Newark.FAR-LEFT MAYOR ARRESTED AT ICE FACILITY DENIES IMPEDING LAW ENFORCEMENT, SAYS PROTEST 'ABSOLUTELY' EFFECTIVEJenkins said during a council meeting, "Im not on Team Baraka for a number of reasons, but one of the reasons is their abuse of power. I cannot believe that any of my council colleagues...that none of these women havent come up to you and told you what theyve had to go through as far as having to have sex to get a job, or theyve been abused, or they've been talked about, or they've been ridiculed."Three years later, a lawsuit filed by a former Newark city employee said that Baraka ignored legislation directing him to appoint an independent task force to investigate claims of sexual harassment brought by Newark employees, according to Chaneyfiled Jenkins in a report from NJ.com.According to the suit, the legislation created an independent task force to investigate claims brought by Newark employees. The five-member panel was supposed to be appointed by the mayor and include a retired police officer from outside Newark, a clergy member, two members of the public and a final member to be nominated by Rutgers University. However, Baraka never appointed a member to the task force.Baraka has also associated himself with alleged abuser Kiburi Tucker, who was arraigned in 1996 in a Newark municipal court on allegations that he sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl, an archived version of the Star-Ledger reported.The girls parents filed a complaint, and Tucker was charged with aggravated criminal sexual contact, criminal restraint and endangering the welfare of a child for holding the victim and fondling her body, according to online records reviewed by Fox News Digital. He would end up serving a four-year prison sentence between 1997 and 2001 after pleading guilty to aggravated assault and drug possession charges.Tucker would later face more legal trouble, which led to him serving a 17-month prison sentence for wire fraud and tax evasion after racking up hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses for personal use using resources from a childcare nonprofit started by his father. After leaving prison, Tucker told TapInto Newark that Baraka was his "best friend" and that he was "doing a hell of a job."Tucker has remained close to Baraka, as evidenced by several Facebook posts in recent years and months. Tucker, who was reportedly business partners with Baraka's wife for several years, has posted in support of Baraka's gubernatorial campaign several times this month and as recently as this week.On May 9, Tucker posted several pictures of Baraka and supporters at an event, saying, "Lets go ! Post your V for Victory In Support of Mayor Baraka for Governor!"Earlier this week, he also posted a photo that appears to be at a Baraka fundraiser in Cranford, New Jersey.Baraka's brother, Amiri, has also remained supportive of Baraka's run for governor, posting about an upcoming political event just last week.In 2022, the mayor also endorsed Louis Weber, a former Newark police officer who was running for city council and was accused of sexual assault by a former female partner. Weber has denied the allegation and was not charged criminally, Politico reported."It's interesting to me that these fabricated stories that are unsubstantiated and built on innuendo are coming out just as the mayor is gaining in popularity and the polls," Mark Di Ionno, a Newark city spokesman, told Fox News Digital in a statement.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPBaraka has dominated news headlines in recent weeks after being arrested outside an ICE facility in Newark and ultimately being charged with trespassing.After a court appearance last week, Baraka told reporters that he was being unfairly targeted."We believe that I was targeted in this," Baraka said. "I was the only person arrested. That's right. You know, I was the only person identified. I was the only person, you know, they put in a cell. You know, the only person, I think that was in cuffs to the whole process that's here this morning, going through this humiliation for these people."On Monday evening, the charge against Baraka was dropped.Fox News Digital reached out to Baraka's gubernatorial campaign, his two brothers, Tucker and Clyburn, and Jenkins but did not receive a response.

Iranian truck drivers have widened their labor stoppage to include more than 100 towns and cities across the country, while the clerical regime launched a violent crackdown on strikers in the Kurdish city of Sanandaj.Iranian experts have long urged successive U.S. administrations to provide strike pay and other forms of aid to restive workers in the Islamic Republic, with a view to improving human rights and causing regime change from within.Truckers are a key industrial force that helps keep the worsening Iranian economy above water.IRAN RAMPS UP STATE EXECUTIONS AMID NUCLEAR TALKS WITH USAlireza Nader, a Washington, D.C., expert on Iran's regime who studies Iranian labor unrest, told Fox News Digital, "The Trump administration should offer loud support to the truckers-this would give Trump even more leverage in the nuclear negotiations. And organizations such as the AFL-CIO can play an important role in bringing the trucker strikes to international attention."The U.S. is engaged in talks with Irans regime to dismantle its illegal nuclear weapons program in exchange for sanctions relief.Nader added, "The nationwide trucker strikes have the potential to paralyze the regime as it faces increasing vulnerability. The trucker strikes can be even more effective if other sectors of Irans economy go on strike, especially the energy sector and other transportation sectors."Many opponents of the clerical regime want the U.S. government to take a page from former President Ronald Reagan's playbook against the now-defunct communist Poland via organized support for workers and their unions.U.S. administrations cooperated prior to the collapse of the communist Soviet Union with the free American labor movement to inject democracy into trade unions in the largely closed communist societies.The core economic issues animating the work stoppage, which started on May 18 in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas, involve working conditions and reduced insurance costs. According to the independent diaspora news organization IranWire, the spike in insurance coincided with a downsized medical care.IRAN ACCUSED OF 'COVERING UP' DEATH TOLL IN PORT EXPLOSION AMID UPRISING FEARSThe Union of Iranian Truckers and Heavy Vehicle Drivers is also demanding remedies for the lack of roadside aid for graft in the allocation of cargo.The truckers are also seeking the amelioration of expensive spare parts, freight brokerage fees and diesel quotas.Greater security on the long stretches of Iranian highways is also demanded."A driver who protests for his bread and dignity is not a rioter," the truckers union stated, adding, "Protest is not a crime, but our legal right," reported IranWire.Lisa Daftari, an Iran expert and editor-in-chief of the Foreign Desk, told Fox News Digital, "The latest nationwide truckers strike is not an isolated incidentit is only the latest manifestation of deep disenchantment among Iranians who are denied dignity and proper rights in every industry. Over the past 46 years, we have witnessed waves of protest across a patchwork of sectors and communities, each uprising pointing to a single, overarching truth: the Iranian people are not just sending a message to their government, but to the entire world, urging support in their quest for freedom and basic rights."She added, "This is a fundamental demand, but as history has shown, it is not easily achieved under a government that has proven itself incapable of reform or of delivering the life Iranians deserve."In 2019, the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) urged Tehran to release detained workers' rights activists. In 2018, the Teamsters Union, which represents most truckers in the U.S., issued solidarity support for truck drivers on strike in more than 290 Iranian cities.

CNN host Jake Tapper said during an interview with Piers Morgan on Monday that the cover-up of former President Joe Biden's decline was "worse" than the Watergate scandal during Richard Nixon's presidency."Joe Biden is not Richard Nixon, and the hiding and cover-up of his deterioration is not Watergate. I am not entirely sure I agree, Jake with that conclusion," Morgan said, quoting the book, during his show, "Piers Morgan Uncensored."Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson released a book, "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again," which details the cover-up of Biden's decline and his choice to run for re-election."The next line is, It is an entirely separate scandal. It is a scandal. It is without question, and maybe even worse than Watergate in some ways. Because Richard Nixon was in control of his faculties when he wasn't drinking, so the idea that, we dont mean to exonerate," Tapper said.AXIOS REPORTER PUSHES BACK ON BIDEN'S DENIAL OF MENTAL DECLINE, SAYING WHITE HOUSE INSIDERS DISAGREE"The only reason that we have the Watergate thing in there is because we quote Archibald Cox, who was a Watergate investigator, talking about how powerful the presidency is and how presidents get surrounded by people who have a vested interest in keeping that president propped up," the CNN host added. "So that's the only reason we invoke Watergate is just to make clear like, it's not Watergate this is an entirely separate scandal, maybe even worse."The Watergate scandal is known as the Nixon administration's cover-up of a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters during the 1972 election. The scandal was investigated and ultimately led to Nixon resigning in 1974.Morgan agreed that the cover-up of Biden's decline was worse than the Watergate scandal, before pressing Tapper on his coverage of the former president.Morgan asked Tapper if he felt he owed the American people an apology "for slightly dropping the ball with this." Morgan also played a clip of Tapper's 2020 interview with Lara Trump, who worked for President Donald Trump's campaign at the time, spotlighting some of his past coverage of the former president's decline.LIBERAL COLUMNIST SAYS THAT DENYING 'BIDEN'S INFIRMITY' WAS SIGN OF DEMOCRATS' 'ORIGINAL SIN' IN 2024 CAMPAIGNCLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"I feel like I owe the American people an acknowledgment that I wish I had covered the story better," Tapper responded. "Knowing what we know now, and looking back on that interview, which I feel tremendous humility about, she [Lara Trump] was right, and I was wrong. I did not see, in the moments he was having, I did not see that as cognitive decline."Tapper said he would try to do better with regard to his coverage during the discussion.The CNN host acknowledged feeling "humility" when confronted about his past coverage, but has still been criticized for the book about Biden.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPMSNBC host Mika Brzezinski insisted during an interview with Tapper and Thompson earlier this month that they covered the discussion about Biden's age in real-time, taking issue with the authors' allegation of a cover-up."Nobody agrees with me, but we debated this, and we covered this, and my point is that we did this in real time. There is definitely new information in this book, great reporting, but I want to understand why youre using words like cover up, which insinuates a crime or something. Was there a crime committed? Because were in an environment where we are covering an administration that is actually in office right now, that is pushing the limits of the law in every way," Brzezinski said.Liberal co-host of "The View" Joy Behar complained during their show that Tapper was "hawking" the book on CNN, demanding to know when the CNN host would write a book about Trump's decline.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, had harsh criticism of President Donald Trumps West Point commencement speech on MSNBC Sunday.MSNBC host Alex Witt asked Crockett to respond to clips from Trumps speech at the United States Military Academy at West Point over the weekend.In response, Crockett said the speech proved Trump was not qualified to be commander in chief and compared him to someone out of an "insane asylum."JASMINE CROCKETT TELLS JIMMY KIMMEL SHE WILL 'ABSOLUTELY' TAKE HEAD-TO-HEAD IQ TEST AGAINST TRUMP"He literally sounds like someone who has broken out of the insane asylum," Crockett said. "Like hed just be all over the place. Like, get him some ADHD medicine, if nothing else, because I dont know where hes ever gonna go."She argued the graduates, the troops, the country and the world "deserve better" and called on Republicans to intervene and begin questioning Trump's mental capabilities."It is time for Republicans to start calling him out and start questioning his mental acuity and whether or not he is equipped to serve mentally. We know when it comes down to his criminality, he is not qualified to serve, but this is just deplorable," Crockett said.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURETrump spoke to the 1,002 graduating cadets of the West Point Class of 2025 in New York on Friday. During his speech, he railed against previous foreign policy initiatives and announced a $1 trillion military buildup. The speech marked the first military commencement address of Trumps second term.Crockett and Trump have frequently traded barbs as the former rose to become a prominent figure in the Democratic Party. On her X account, Crockett has gone as far as to label Trump a "buffoon" and a "mofo," the abbreviated version of the word "mother---er."Earlier this month, Trump called Crockett "low IQ" and mocked the idea of her being the future of the Democrats.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

Former President Joe Biden's official health reports during his White House tenure did not show signs of aggressive prostate cancer, a Fox News Digital review of the health documents shows.Biden, who suffered two brain aneurysms in 1988 that nearly claimed his life, received clean bills of health in 2021, 2023 and 2024, according to former White House physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor's annual reports on the president's state of health.Biden was scheduled to receive a physical by the end of January 2023 but delayed the evaluation due to a busy travel schedule, the White House reported at the time. The former president had a roughly 15-month period between his 2021 physical and one conducted in February 2023.Fox News Digital reviewed the three reports posted by the White House in 2021, 2023 and 2024 and found that there were no signs indicating aggressive prostate cancer was on the horizon for the 46th president though concerns over skin cancer were a common theme throughout the three reports.'SMALL NODULE' FOUND IN BIDEN'S PROSTATE DURING ROUTINE EXAM, SPOKESPERSON SAYSBiden's White House physician released the president's first annual health report in November 2021, declaring Biden a "healthy, vigorous" man."President Biden remains a healthy, vigorous, 78-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief," OConnor wrote in the 2021 report.The report included routine screenings of Biden's heart, eyes and teeth, as well as his occasional gastroesophageal reflux.TRUMP CALLS BIDEN'S CANCER DIAGNOSIS 'VERY SAD' WHILE QUESTIONING TIMELINE: 'WASN'T INFORMED'The report noted that Biden also underwent "routine" screenings for both colon cancer and skin cancer. Biden had multiple "localized, non-melenoma skin cancers removed" ahead of his presidency after spending a good deal of time in the sun as a youth, the report stated, but that there were "no areas suspicious for skin cancer" during the 2021 physical.The report did find that Biden was increasingly "throat clearing" and coughing during public events. O'Connor stated that Biden had long cleared his throat or coughed during speaking engagements, but such coughing or throat clearing "certainly seem more frequent and more pronounced over the last few months."O'Connor said gastroesophageal reflux was likely the culprit behind Biden's coughing after conducting multiple lung, oxygen and biological tests.The report also noted that Biden's gait had become noticeably more stiff, which the doctor said required a "detailed investigation." The stiffened gait was attributed to Biden's wear and tear on his spine and mild sensory peripheral neuropathy of the feet, which O'Connor said could be addressed with physical therapy and exercise.O'Connor released details on Biden's second physical as president on Feb. 16, 2023, roughly 15 months after the release of his first presidential physical. The delay between the health assessments was attributed to the president's busy schedule.Biden was notably also diagnosed with COVID-19 in July 2022 during the interim period of his first and second physicals. Biden was reported to have mild symptoms that July and was treated with the antiviral drug Paxlovid.The February 2023 physical report found that Biden was in good health and "fit" to serve as president."President Biden remains a healthy, vigorous 80-year-old male who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency," O'Connor wrote in his 2023 health memo.OBAMA REACTS TO BIDEN CANCER DIAGNOSISThe report found that Biden's gait had remained stiff since his last physical, though the issue had not worsened. The report overall found that his heart, lungs, eyes and teeth were all in good health.Biden underwent routine skin cancer surveillance, which found a small lesion on the president's chest that required biopsy. The lesion was removed just a couple of weeks later without issue, a follow-up memo from O'Connor states."As expected, the biopsy confirmed that the small lesion was basal cell carcinoma," Biden's doctor wrote in a memo after the lesion was removed. "All cancerous tissue was successfully removed. The area around the biopsy site was treated presumptively with electrodessication and curettage at the time of biopsy. No further treatment is required."The 2023 physical health report also provided updates on Biden's COVID-19 recovery, which the White House doctor said went smoothly in part due to Biden receiving the coronavirus vaccine and two booster shots before the infection.BIDEN HEALTH SUMMARY RELEASED BY WHITE HOUSE, PRESIDENT CALLED 'HEALTHY, ROBUST'The report on Biden's final physical examination as president was released Feb. 28, 2024 and again found the president in good health and able to serve as president."President Biden is a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old male, who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief," the most recent memo stated.Again, vital organs such as the heart and eyes received a clean bill of health, while Biden's stiff gait did not worsen in the interim since 2023, though the doctor noted "arthritic changes" that were moderate to severe.O'Connor reported that he conducted a neurological exam and determined that no cerebral or neurological issues were compounding the president's stiff gait. The test did support previous findings of peripheral neuropathy of the feet, the report stated.JOE BIDEN DIAGNOSED WITH 'AGGRESSIVE FORM' OF PROSTATE CANCER WITH METASTASIS TO THE BONEThe 2024 physicaladditionally noted that the lesion removed from Biden's chest the year prior needed no additional treatment, as basal cell carcinoma typically does not metastasize.The report added that Biden had been using a continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, machine when sleeping after he showed symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea. The president had previously reported similar symptoms in 2008 and 2019, O'Connor stated, but that they subsided after sinus and nasal passage surgeries before his presidency.He also underwent a root canal that year with no complications.Dr. O'Connor has overseen Biden's health since 2009 and built a close relationship with the president and his family, Fox News Digital previously reported."I have never had a better commander than Joe Biden," OConnor said in a profile interview with his alma mater, New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine, when Biden served as vice president. "All politics aside, he approaches his craft with such honor. Hes 100 percent family first. Hes genuinely genuine."FLASHBACK: WHITE HOUSE PRESS SEC KARINE JEAN-PIERRE LAUGHS OFF QUESTION ON BIDEN'S HEALTH IN 2022O'Connor overwhelmingly remained out of the spotlight during Biden's tenure until the spring of 2024, when speculation mounted among both conservatives and Democrats that the president's mental acuity was slipping, with pundits and the media subsequently demanding to hear directly from O'Connor on the state of Biden's health.The White House physician is affectionately known to Biden and his family simply as "Doc," and was requested by Biden in 2009 to stay on as his physician after serving in the White House Medical Unit under the President George W. Bush administration, according to the profile.OConnor was first appointed to the White House Medical Unit in 2006 for what was intended to be a three-year military assignment, according to his profile published by the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine, from which he graduated in 1992.Instead, "Vice President Biden asked OConnor to stay on," the profile continues.OConnor complied, marking the beginning of their doctor-patient relationship that has reportedly evolved into a close relationship with the presidents large family.Bidens 2017 memoir, "Promise Me, Dad," features the president reflecting on his close relationship with "Doc," including OConnor joining the family on their annual vacation to Massachusetts' Nantucket in his capacity as the White House physician and balking at the familys "browsing extravaganza" on the island. The White House medical unit always travels with a president to best protect his health and safety. The physicians relationship with the family seemingly grew closer, according to the memoir, when the presidents son, Beau Biden, was diagnosed with brain cancer which ultimately claimed his life in 2015."Doc was good with Beau, who was still trying to get his bearings in those first few days. Real fear was starting to creep in. Sometimes Beau would grab him when everybody else was out of earshot to get his honest assessment," Biden wrote in the memoir."Whatever it is, this is bad, he told Beau, but were gonna find out what it is. And once we find out what it is, we will have a plan.""Promise? Beau asked.""Promise."WHO IS WHITE HOUSE PHYSICIAN DR. KEVIN O'CONNOR AND WHAT ARE HIS CLOSE TIES TO THE BIDEN FAMILY?In another excerpt, Beau Biden requested OConnor "promise" to take care of his father if he should die."Seriously, Doc. No matter what happens,'" Beau Biden said to OConnor, according to the book. "Take care of Pop. For real. Promise me. For real."Back in 2018, Joe Bidens sister-in-law, Sara Biden, described OConnor as a "friend" who provided medical advice to members of the Biden family beyond the eventual commander in chief."Colonel O'Connor was actually a friend and he we would frequently ask for his recommendations if any of us had a medical issue, so it was not uncommon to ask him if he had a recommendation," she said in a deposition related to a New York state medical malpractice case involving her daughter, Fox News previously reported.Biden's office announced May 18 that the former president had been diagnosed with an "aggressive form" of prostate cancer, which set off concern that such a cancer should have been discovered sooner."Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms," Biden's team shared in a statement. "On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.""While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management," the statement said. "The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians."Physicians have remarked that they are "shocked" that the cancer had not been discovered sooner."Thank God they found it. (Biden is) a fighter. He's been through a tremendous amount in his life with his son, with (his) wife, with (his) daughter," Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel said May 19. "Two aneurysms, atrial fibrillation. He's been through a lot health-wise, but I am absolutely shocked that they didn't find this earlier."A spokesperson for Biden confirmed to Fox News on May 20 that Biden's last known prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, which screens a patient for prostate cancer, was conducted in 2014."President Biden's last known PSA was in 2014," a Biden spokesperson told Fox News. "Prior to Friday, President Biden had never been diagnosed with prostate cancer."Biden posted to X on May 19 in his first message since publicly revealing the diagnosis to thank supporters."Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places," Biden wrote on X, accompanied by a photo with former first lady Jill Biden. "Thank you for lifting us up with love and support."

Outgoing United States Capitol Police (USCP) Chief J. Thomas Manger has sounded off on President Donald Trumps pardons of the Jan. 6 defendants calling the day of the sweeping pardons one of the most troubling moments of his career, according to a report.Manger, who will retire later this week, has been a vocal critic of those who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot and lamented Trump pardoning nearly all defendants shortly after his inauguration this year.He told WTOP "I was angry and as frustrated about that as Ive ever been professionally."TRUMP PARDONS NEARLY ALL JAN. 6 DEFENDANTS ON INAUGURATION DAYManger told the outlet that as discouraging as that was, it made him determined to continue to make improvements. "What it made me feel like is somebodys got to stay here and stand up for these cops," Manger said.Manger has served as USCP chief since July 2021 and was hired to rebuild the force and implement reforms to enhance security and preparedness in the wake of the Jan. 6 riot. The more than 100 reform recommendations included expanding intelligence, training and riot-response capabilities.He has often condemned the attack, referring to it as an "insurrection" and an attack on democracy. Trump has referred to those who were imprisoned as "hostages.""Some people in this country believe January 6 wasnt that bad," Manger told WTOP. "My cops know what happened on January 6. They know what happened. They were here."Mangers police career stretches back to 1977, when he started out as an officer with the Fairfax County Police Department in Virginia. He rose to chief of department in 1998 and remained in that role until 2004. Manger became chief of police in Montgomery County, Maryland, in 2004 and held the position until his retirement in 2019.US CAPITOL POLICE CHIEF TOM MANGER UPSET COLBERT CREW WAS SPAREDOn July 23, 2021, he was appointed chief of the United States Capitol Police, succeeding Acting Chief Yogananda Pittman.When news broke that theJustice Departmenthad agreed in principle to pay $5 million to the family of Ashli Babbitt, a former Air Force veteran who was shot dead during the Capitol Riot, Manger sent a message to his departments officers writing that he was "extremely disappointed.""In 2021, the DOJ said that there was no evidence to show that law enforcement broke the law. After a thorough investigation, it was determined to be a justified shooting. "This settlement sends a chilling message to law enforcement officers across our nation especially those who have a protective mission like ours," Manger wrote, according to the Washington Post.In December 2022, the USCP were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal the highest civilian honor bestowed by Congress for their bravery on Jan. 6, 2021. Manger accepted the honor on behalf of the department.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe USCP dates back to 1800, when the Congress moved from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C., and a lone watchman, John Golding, was hired to protect the Capitol Building, according to USCP website.After a number of incidents in 1827 that could have been prevented with sufficient security and surveillance, then President John Quincy Adams asked that a regular Capitol Police force be established. On May 2, 1828, Congress passed an act that expanded the police regulations of the City of Washington to include the Capitol and Capitol Square. It is on this date that the USCP commemorates its founding.
