A Los Angeles County woman, who served on a presidential advisory committee under the Biden administration and has an extensive history of donating to Democrats, reached a plea agreement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) for making tens of thousands of dollars in illegal campaign contributions to reportedly secure a seat on the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees, the DOJ announced Wednesday.Teena Maria Hostovich, 66, was charged Wednesday with making contributions in the name of another aggregating to more than $10,000 in a year, which is a felony, the DOJ reported.She revealed in her plea agreement that she carried out the scheme in part to secure a spot on the Kennedy Center's Board of Trustees, the DOJ stated in the press release. The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts serves as the national cultural center of the U.S. and is located in Washington, D.C.Hostovich is an insurance broker who used the identities of 11 other people, including co-workers and family members of co-workers, to illegally contribute more than $75,000 to political candidates between 2020 and 2023, the DOJ stated in a press release.DOGE SAYS IT'S REFERRED DOZENS OF POTENTIAL VOTER FRAUD CASES TO DOJ"According to her plea agreement, from May 2020 through 2023, Hostovich knowingly and willfully made a total of $75,700 in contributions to federal candidates principal campaign committees and federal joint fundraising committees in the names of other people," the DOJ said in a press release. "For the calendar years 2021 through 2023, Hostovichs conduit contributions aggregated to more than $10,000 during each of those years."Hostovich agreed in a court filing Wednesday to plead guilty to the federal criminal charge and pay a $43,500 fine.Her scheme included contacting co-workers, their family members and other people "who performed personal services for Hostovich and her family" to ask them to make a donation to a political campaign or fundraising committee, according to the press release. She would then use PayPal to reimburse the individual for the contribution or pay them up front before the contribution was made, the Justice Department explained.STACEY ABRAMS-FOUNDED GROUPS SLAPPED WITH HISTORIC FINE FOR CAMPAIGN FINANCE VIOLATIONS"To execute these conduit contributions, Hostovich sometimes explicitly stated that she would advance the money for the contribution or pay the person back for that contribution," the press release outlined. "Other times, the person had an implicit understanding that Hostovich would advance the money or reimburse them based on her history of advancements and reimbursements of political contributions. Hostovich generally advanced or reimbursed these individuals in amounts that exceeded the exact contribution amount but often the amounts were very close to the contribution amount."Fox News Digital reviewed a website promoting a book Hostovich wrote in 2024 on climbing America's corporate ladder, which also touted Hostovich as a member of the Clinton Global Initiative, and that former President Joe Biden appointed her to serve on the Presidents Advisory Committee on the Arts."She is a member of the Clinton Global Initiative and the White House Historical Association. President Biden recently appointed her to the Presidents Advisory Committee for the Arts, and she is the Co-Chair of the Advisory Council to the Kennedy Centers President and Chairman," the bio states, which is accompanied by photos of Hostovich with high-profile Democrats such as Hillary Clinton, former President Bill Clinton and Biden. Fox News Digital reached out to the Clinton Foundation for comment but did not immediately receive a reply.An archived official White House press release from 2023 under the Biden administration detailed Hostovich's position on the Presidents Advisory Committee on the Arts, including touting her "corporate governance responsibility, political activism, and philanthropic work.""She has combined her lifelong passion for the arts, history, and education with her corporate governance responsibility, political activism, and philanthropic work," the bio states. "In addition to serving on the Board of the Los Angeles Philharmonic for over a decade, she has been one of the Chairs (along with her husband and son) of Hollywood Bowl Opening Night many times (including 2023) honoring significant artists and showcasing the LA music community while raising money for Music Matters benefitting music/arts programs in public schools."It is unclear how donations made in other people's names would bolster her reported efforts to secure a spot on the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees. The president appoints general trustees to the board, while other members are appointed by Congress.CALIFORNIA WOMAN AND MAN CHARGED WITH ALLEGEDLY STEALING OVER $2 MILLION IN ILLEGAL COVID RELIEF FUNDSA representative for Hostovich told Fox News Digital in an emailed statement Tuesday morning that "Teena Hostovich has agreed to plead guilty to one count of making contributions in the name of another, involving five donations of $2,900 each in 2021. In doing so, she is accepting responsibility for her conduct early and swiftly."The statement continued that Hostovich's "mistakes are out of character," arguing that her "career, accomplishments, and numerous charitable deeds reflect a lifetime of hard work and generosity.""Her generosity and commitment to her community led to her involvement in donating and fundraising for causes and candidates that she believed would champion fairness, equality, and improve society," the spokesperson continued. "She deeply regrets that her ardent support of some candidates led to lapses in judgment in a fraction of the donations she helped to raise and make. She is even more remorseful for the shadow that this investigation may cast on the candidates to whom the donations were made, as they had no knowledge of any wrongdoing.""Throughout this process, Ms. Hostovich has cooperated fully and worked transparently with law enforcement authorities. She is committed to making the appropriate amends."The DOJ did not identify in its press release which political party Hostovich favored, though Federal Election Commission (FEC) records reviewed by Fox News show Hostovich made hundreds of donations across the years to Democrat politicians, the Democratic Party and left-wing political action committees.Hostovich has nearly 1,000 entries on the FEC's database regarding donations she made under her own name stretching back to 2008 through the 2024 election cycle.The FEC data shows she donated to campaigns and groups such as the Obama Victory Fund, Democratic Party of Virginia, Pasadena, California, area United Democratic Headquarters and Chris Coons for Delaware during the 20082012 period.More recent data from the 2024 election cycle shows she donated to groups such as the North Carolina Democratic Party Federal, the Wyoming Democratic State Central Committee, the Pennsylvania Democratic Party and the Democratic State Committee (Delaware). Searching for donations made to groups or campaigns containing the name "Republican" or "GOP" yielded zero results, Fox News Digital found.The FBI carried out an investigation into Hostovich before she was charged and reached a plea agreement, the DOJ said. The DOJ told Fox Digital on Tuesday that Hostovich is scheduled to appear in court on June 13 in Los Angeles.

Prominent conservative social media users tore into "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley for slamming President Donald Trump during a recent commencement speech.After the CBS News reporter accused the Trump administration of attacking journalists and universities and creating a spirit of fear for "truth seekers" in the country during his address to Wake Forest University graduates earlier this month, conservatives took to X to blast the "pompous" media figure."Pompous CBS journalist Scott Pelley closed his commencement address at Wake Forest by telling graduates they are the fierce defenders of democracy, the seekers of truth,' and the vanguard against ignorance thats taken over the country (i.e. Trump)," the Media Research Centers Curtis Houck wrote.CBS NEWS CEO WENDY MCMAHON ABRUPTLY RESIGNS, CITES DISAGREEMENT WITH COMPANY AMID CHALLENGING PERIODDuring his fiery speech last week, the CBS journalist painted a dark picture of the Trump agenda."Why attack universities? Why attack journalism? Because ignorance works for power," Pelley said. "First, make the truth seekers live in fear, sue the journalists and their companies for nothing. Then, send masked agents to abduct a college student who wrote an editorial in her college paper defending Palestinian rights and send her to a prison in Louisiana charged with nothing. Then move to destroy the law firms that stand up for the rights of others."He continued, stating, "With that done, power can rewrite history with grotesque false narratives. They can make criminals heroes and heroes criminals. Power can change the definition of the words we use to describe reality. Diversity is now described as illegal. Equity is to be shunned. Inclusion is a dirty word. This is an old playbook, my friends. There's nothing new in this."Pelley then urged the graduates to speak up against the censorship and fear he said is being fostered by the administration."In this moment, this moment, this morning, our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack. And insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses, our homes and into our private thoughts, the fear to speak in America. If our government is, in Lincoln's phrase, 'Of the people, by the people, for the people,' then why are we afraid to speak?"PARAMOUNT FACING MOUNTING PRESSURE FROM CBS STARS, DEM LAWMAKERS AS COMPANY MULLS SETTLING TRUMP LAWSUITPelleys words come as the Trump administration has sought to withhold federal grants from Harvard and other prestigious universities for allegedly promoting left-wing policies and failing to crack down on antisemitism on campus.The president is also in the middle of a lawsuit against Pelleys employer, CBS, alleging that the network deceptively edited a 2024 interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris shortly before the presidential election.Conservatives on X werent buying Pelleys assessment of Trump.Comedian Adam Corolla wrote on X, "TDS [Trump Derangement Syndrome] hits narcissist especially hard."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREMoms For Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice mentioned an interview she had with Pelley to show evidence of his left-wing bias.She wrote, "I read porn from public school library books to @ScottPelley, who listened with his glasses tucked between his lips.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to get local law enforcement involved should California continue to allow a transgender athlete to participate in girls sports.Trump cited the biological male athlete in California who will compete in the girls long jump and triple jump in the state championships next week. The athlete recorded a distance of 40-04.75 in the triple jump, compared to the runner-ups 39-06.00. In the long jump, the athlete recorded a distance of 19-03.50, while the runner-up managed 19-00.75.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe transgender athlete has continued to perform in California under California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) events despite Trumps executive order to prohibit biological males from competing in girls and womens sports.Trump called out California Gov. Gavin Newsom in a post on Truth Social."California, under the leadership of Radical Left Democrat Gavin Newscum, continues to ILLEGALLY allow MEN TO PLAY IN WOMENS SPORTS. This week a transitioned Male athlete, at a major event, won everything, and is now qualified to compete in the State Finals next weekend," Trump wrote. "As a Male, he was a less than average competitor. As a Female, this transitioned person is practically unbeatable."THIS IS NOT FAIR, AND TOTALLY DEMEANING TO WOMEN AND GIRLS. Please be hereby advised that large scale Federal Funding will be held back, maybe permanently, if the Executive Order on this subject matter is not adhered to. The Governor, himself, said it is UNFAIR."Newsom previously talked about transgender participation in girls sports back in March with prominent conservative Charlie Kirk."The young man who's about to win the state championship in the long jump in female sports, that shouldn't happen," Kirk said. "You, as the governor, should step out and say no. Would you do something like that? Would you say no men infemale sports?"TRANS ATHLETE QUALIFIES FOR CALIFORNIA GIRLS' TRACK AND FIELD STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AMID FEDERAL INVESTIGATION"I think its an issue of fairness. I completely agree with you on that. It is an issue of fairness its deeply unfair," Newsom told Kirk. "I am not wrestling with the fairness issue. I totally agree with you."Kirk pressed Newsom on whether he would condemn the athlete in question from Jurupa Valley High School after the athlete won another event at the time. Newsom did not directly address the win but said "its a fairness issue.""So, that's easy to call out the unfairness of that," he said. "There's also a humility and a grace. These poor people are more likely to commit suicide, have anxiety and depression. And the way that people talk down to vulnerable communities is an issue that I have a hard time with as well."So, both things I can hold in my hand. How can we address this issue with the kind of decency that I think, you know, is inherent in you but not always expressed on the issue?"Newsom further explained his point of view in a press conference on April 2 when asked whether there should be a law to prohibit males from competing in girls and womens sports."And I'm about as transparent about this as anybody out there, particularly in my party, on this, and to the extent someone can and do it in a way that's respectful and responsible and could find a kind of balance, then I'm open to that discussion. ... You're talking about a very small number of people, a very small number of athletes, and my responsibility is to address the pressing issues of our time."And this, I think, has been colored in and weaponized by the right to be 10 times, 100 times bigger than it is and so my focus is on a myriad of other issues in this state. And to the extent that someone could find that right balance, I would embrace those conversations and the dignity that hopefully presents themselves in that conversation, meaning the humanity around that conversation, not the politics around that conversation."Trump, in his Truth Social post on Tuesday, wrote that he would speak with Newsom about it."I will speak to him today to find out which way he wants to go??? In the meantime I am ordering local authorities, if necessary, to not allow the transitioned person to compete in the State Finals. This is a totally ridiculous situation!!!" he wrote.Fox News Digital reached out to Newsom's office and the CIF for comment.Trumps administration has already warned the CIF and the athletes high school of consequences for allowing the situation.

FIRST ON FOX: House Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., is taking aim at Georgia's senior senator in a new ad highlighting the vulnerable Democrat's stance on transgender student athletes.Carter, who is running for Senate, is releasing a 30-second advertisement titled, "Ossoff Fan," which features a purported transgender woman complaining about Carter's own Republican stances. It opens by showing a transgender woman, played by a stubble-chinned biological male wearing a wig and a dress, sitting in a living room beside a dumbbell watching Carter on Fox News."He's been MAGA from the beginning," the person says on the phone. "He's been loyal to Trump, defended him during impeachment."The person on the other line says, "And Buddy helped Trump at the border with deportations."HOUSE GOP TARGETS ANOTHER DEM OFFICIAL ACCUSED OF BLOCKING ICE AMID DELANEY HALL FALLOUTThe transgender person picks up a trophy and says, "And preventing people like me from competing in women's sports. Buddy Carter even believes there's only two genders.""Now Buddy wants to help Trump in the Senate and beat Jon Ossoff," the individual says. "It's just not fair." Meanwhile, the voice on the phone quips, "After all Ossoff has done for us!"The ad ends with the transgender person picking up a sign with pink lettering that says, "Ossoff for Senate," putting on a pair of wedge sandals, and stomping to their car.The short but punchy advertisement signals that Republicans still believe the debate surrounding transgender inclusion is a potent issue for turning out voters in favor of the GOP. It proved to be a key issue in the 2024 general election, with moderate Democrats spending weeks after the fact decrying their own party's intolerance to differing views.Ossoff is a first-term lawmaker who was the first Democrat to win a Senate seat in the Peach State in roughly two decades. Republicans now view Ossoffs seat as one of the most viable flip opportunities in the upcoming 2026 midterm cycle, when the GOP hopes to keep and expand upon its thin majority in the upper chamber.Carter was the first Republican to jump into the contest after Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, who was considered a heavy favorite to run against Ossoff, opted to forgo a Senate bid. Georgia Insurance Commissioner John King is also running in the race as a Republican.Ossoff joined with all other Democratic senators to filibuster the bill from Sens. Tommy Tuberville and Katie Britt, both Alabama Republicans, in March, effectively killing the legislation after it advanced out of the House earlier this year.Their bill, called the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, is designed to bar transgender athletes from participating in federally funded school athletics at all levels, from elementary school to college.It would amend Title IX to make it a violation for any school athletic program that receives federal funding to allow a biological male to participate in sports or activities that are meant for women or girls, and defines a persons sex by their reproductive biology and genetics at birth.MEET THE TRUMP-PICKED LAWMAKERS GIVING SPEAKER JOHNSON A FULL HOUSE GOP CONFERENCEThe measure is similar to anexecutive order from President Donald Trump in February that argued that the participation of biological men in women's and girls' sports was "demeaning, unfair, and dangerous to women and girls, and denies women and girls the equal opportunity to participate and excel in competitive sports."The Carter campaigns ad is also not the first time in the early days of the looming midterm cycle that the vulnerable senator has been targeted for his vote against the measure.One Nation, a nonprofit advocacy group closely aligned with Senate Republican leadership,ran an ad last month that accused Ossoff of "running point for the radical left" with his vote to block the men in womens sports bill.Fox News Digital reached out to Ossoff's campaign for comment on Carter's ad but did not hear back by press time.

XX-XY Athletics founder Jennifer Sey talked Tuesday about the biological male who is set to compete for a girls state championship in long jump and track and field in California.The junior from Jurupa Valley High School finished in first place in both events at the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern Section Masters. The athlete has been at the center of a national controversy as the athletics association refused to comply with President Donald Trump's executive order to bar males from girls and womens sports.This weekend, the athlete has a chance to win a state title.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"Were all just so tired of it," Sey said on "Fox & Friends." "Two months ago, Gavin Newsom said it was unfair for boys to compete in girls sports but hes done nothing about it. Actions speak louder than words here."Sey lamented that the second-place finisher, Kaylee Best, did not have the chance to stand on top of the podium in either event."Its ridiculous. He has male advantage," Sey added. "He shouldnt be allowed to compete in girls (sports). And, according to the executive order, hes not but California is ignoring it."Trump on Tuesday threatened to cut off federal funding to California and get authorities involved if the CIF allowed the athlete to participate in the state championship. Newsom previouslytalked about transgender participationin girls sports back in March with prominent conservative Charlie Kirk."The young man who's about to win the state championship in the long jump in female sports, that shouldn't happen," Kirk said. "You, as the governor, should step out and say no. Would you do something like that? Would you say no men infemale sports?"TRUMP THREATENS TO PULL FEDERAL FUNDING FROM CALIFORNIA OVER TRANS ATHLETE CONTROVERSY AT STATE CHAMPIONSHIP"I think its an issue of fairness. I completely agree with you on that. It is an issue of fairness its deeply unfair," Newsom told Kirk. "I am not wrestling with the fairness issue.

Amid the ongoing manhunt for five escaped Orleans Parish Correctional Facility inmates, a repeat escapee broke out of another jail in a nearby Louisiana parish.The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office (TPSO) said that Tra'Von Johnson, 19, had escaped from the jail on Thursday afternoon when another inmate helped lift him over the perimeter fence.Johnson, who is awaiting trial in connection with a deadly 2022 home invasion, also escaped from the same jail in May of last year, according to a TPSO Facebook post.He was recaptured Friday just a few miles away from the jail, according to the sheriff's office.NEW ORLEANS JAIL INMATES CHARGED WITH MURDER AND OTHER CRIMES ESCAPETangipahoa Parish is about 80 miles from Orleans Parish, where 10 inmates escaped from jail on May 16, sparking a manhunt by 200 state, local and federal law enforcement agents. That manhunt is still underway.The sheriff's office said that Johnson escaped at 4:30 p.m. Thursday and that it did not learn of the escape until about 10 p.m. It became aware of the escape only after receiving "a call from the public questioning whether Johnson was still in custody.""TPSO engaged its partner law enforcement agencies to assist with not only locating Johnson, but also alerting victims and communicating with Johnsons relatives and known associates," the sheriff's office said in the Facebook post. "At the same time, jail staff confirmed Johnson was the only inmate missing and the investigation into the escape, from beginning to end, began."Johnson and two others allegedly involved in the home invasion, along with a fourth person, escaped from the jail on May 26, 2024 after breaching a "vulnerable section of the perimeter fence," Fox 8 reported at the time.While authorities search for Johnson, they also continue to search for two inmates, including a four-time convicted killer, who escaped New Orleans' primary jail on May 16.Ten men are accused of removing a toilet from their cell in the Orleans Parish Correctional Facility, cutting a hole in the wall and running through an unoccupied corridor, eventually hopping the jail's fence to freedom.In that case, too, jail authorities were unaware of the escape until about several hours after it occurred, sparking questions about the competency of law enforcement officials, including Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office (OPSO) Sheriff Susan Hutson.On Thursday, Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams blasted Hutson, whom he said neglected to order a complete investigation into the prison cell crime scene."Time is also of the essence when trying to get good DNA samples or collect fingerprints to make sure those areas are not molested or destroyed in any way," he said during a news conference. "So I am deeply concerned that there was not an immediate request by the sheriff to our local crime lab to get in there and examine, document, preserve and collect all of the forensic evidence that was available there so that we could already have it tested."DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS DEMAND LOUISIANA SHERIFF RESIGN AFTER 10 INMATES ESCAPE JAILSo far, 13 people have been arrested for allegedly aiding the 10 escapees, including 33-year-old Sterling Williams, the OPSO employee who served as a maintenance worker in the jail. He was charged with 10 counts of principal to simple escape and one count of malfeasance in office and is being held on $1.1 million bond.An inmate inside the jail, 23-year-old Trevon Williams, has been rebooked on 10 counts of principal to simple escape for allegedly giving the escapees a blanket and shirt to help them hop the razor-wire fence during their escape.While Sterlin and Trevon Williams are accused of helping from the inside, several others are accused of helping the escapees after they broke out.Over the weekend, 28-year-old Lenika Vanburen, 18-year-old Patricia Vanburen, 27-year-old Tyshanea "Minnie" Randolph, 47-year-old Lenton Vanburen Sr. and 40-year-old Angel McKey were arrested for allegedly aiding escapee Lenton Vanburen. Vanburen Sr. is Vanburen's father, a source confirmed to Fox News.Emmitt Weber, 28, was also arrested for helping two of the inmates after the escape. So was Casey Smith, 30, who reportedly admitted to driving some of the inmates around New Orleans after they escaped.Last week, two women, Cortnie Harris, 32, and Corvanntay Baptiste, 38, were also arrested for assisting the fugitives. They are also being held at the Plaquemines County Jail. Harris is being held on a $2.5 million bond, and Baptiste on a $1 million bond.Harris is accused of transporting some of the escapees to locations throughout New Orleans after the escape, and Baptiste is accused of being in contact with escapee Corey Boyd and bringing him food after the escape.LOUISIANA GOVERNOR BLASTS 'PROGRESSIVE PROMISES' AFTER NEW ORLEANS JAIL ESCAPESources close to the investigation told Fox News that Baptiste is the girlfriend of now-recaptured Boyd, who is accused of second-degree murder, and Harris is the girlfriend of Leo Tate, who is still on the run.On Thursday night, the Louisiana State Police announced that it had arrested Connie Weeden, 59, who allegedly sent cash to fugitive Jermaine Donald via a cellphone app.She was charged with one felony count of accessory after the fact and booked into the St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center.After a volley of arrests Monday, three more of the escaped inmates are back in custody.Vanburen was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and will face new charges related to his escape, along with prior charges of parole violation, possession of firearm by felon, and illegal carrying of a weapon.Fellow jail breakers Leo Tate and Jermaine Donald were arrested in Walker County, Texas, by the Texas Department of Public Safety. The Louisiana State Police said the duo led Texas police on a high-speed chase before they were taken into custody.The following five inmates remain on the run:Fox News Digital reached out to the Louisiana State Police and Attorney General Liz Murrill's office.Fox News' Louis Casiano, Christina Shaw and Nate Foy contributed to this report.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, appears to be leaning in on her rising political stardom this week, briefly sharing what appeared to be a fan-made song that referred to the Democratic firebrand as the "leader of the future.""Jasmine Crockett, she rises with the dawn. Fighting for justice, her light will never be gone," the song went. "A voice for the people, standing strong and proud. Infectious with passion, she'll never bow down. Leader of the future, she's breaking all the chains.
