One may argue that even though Caitlin Clark was off the court on Wednesday, it made a case that she is the Most Valuable Player in the WNBA.That's because in the Indiana Fever's first game without Clark since she suffered a quad injury, the Fever suffered their worst loss of the young WNBA season.The Washington Mystics took down the Clark-less Fever, 83-77, on Wednesday night.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe Fever started out hot, getting out to a 10-4 lead, and even leading by five at a point during the second quarter.But from 5:47 left in the second until 5:03 left in regulation, the Mystics outscored the Fever, 46-32. Their 11-point lead (73-62) was their largest of the night until garbage time free throws with under a minute left.Indiana scored seven points in the final 22 seconds to avoid a double-digit loss, but the majority of the final 25 minutes were all Mystics.ANGEL REESE 'NOT THE VILLAIN' IN CAITLIN CLARK NARRATIVE, JEMELE HILL SAYS AMID GROWING WNBA RIVALRYThe Fever's previous two losses this season came by a combined three points - they lost by one to the Atlanta Dream and by two to the reigning champion New York Liberty. The Fever had the ball in the final seconds in both of those contests.Their 77 points are the lowest they've scored all season, as well. They had previously scored 93, 90, 81, and 88.Clark is slated to miss at least two weeks with a right quad injury. In their first four games, the Fever's point differential was +37.The former Iowa Hawkeye is averaging 19.0 points, 9.3 assists and 6.0 rebounds in her four games of the 2025 season. Last year, she set the single-season record for the most assists in one year, en route to winning Rookie of the Year. Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell tied with a team-high four assists on the night. The Fever as a whole had just 15 on the night Clark had a WNBA record 19 on July 17 of last year.DeWanna Bonner dropped 21 points off the bench, leading the Fever.Clark netted a season-high 27 points last Tuesday against the Dream.

Sawmills are working to recycle trees blown down by Hurricane Helene to assist wildland firefighters while boosting domestic timber production.Many of the trees downed by the storm are usable, according to Johnny Evans, owner of Evens Lumber Co. in Manchester, Tennessee. About 6% of the lumber produced at his facility comes from trees that fell during natural disasters."It's a resource that God gave us, and we need to recycle it instead of letting it rot into the ground," Evans said. "If we don't get those dead trees out of the forest, then you're going to have a forest fire. Then it's going to wipe out all your good timber as well as your dead timber."There have been at least eight wildfires in areas ravaged by Hurricane Helene since the storm ripped through the Great Smoky Mountains in September.FRANKLIN GRAHAM DEDICATES HOMES TO HURRICANE HELENE SURVIVORS: GOD HASN'T FORGOTTEN THEM'The Tennessee Department of Agriculture's Forestry Division estimated it could take at least three years for the thickest trees downed by Hurricane Helene to dry out enough to become potential wildfire fuel. However, those trees can still hinder firefighting efforts by getting in the way of bulldozers used to create firelines."Those trees are there just blocking the dozers. So we have to send in crews to clear a path for the dozers, which is way slower than what we would ideally want to have happen," Megan Carpenter, a spokesperson for the Tennessee Department of Agriculture's Forestry Division, said.SCIENTISTS IN EAST TENNESSEE EXAMINE FISH COUNTS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE HURRICANE HELENEThe U.S. Department of Agriculture pitched in $23 million to clear dead trees from high-risk wildfire zones across the country. The dead trees will then be sold to wood processing facilities to be consolidated into soil enrichment materials, construction materials, energy sources and paper. The USDA said the effort would eliminate potential fuel for future wildfires while supporting a March executive order signed by President Trump to boost domestic timber production by 25%.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPHigh-risk firesheds will be cleared out first to protect already-vulnerable communities. The U.S. Forest Service is simplifying the permitting and contracting process for sawmills looking to access the timber supply.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino stated Wednesday evening that the bureau is examining issues related to the origin of COVID-19, though he did not confirm the existence of a formal investigation into a cover-up.Bongino made the remarks in a post on X amid growing media attention on a newly identified COVID-19 strain."As we read and process reports of a new COVID strain emerging, I want you to know that we are actively investigating, in multiple field offices, the cover-up of the origin of the COVID virus, along with associated matters requiring our attention," Bongino wrote. "The American people deserve answers."FBI DEPUTY DIRECTOR BONGINO: ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINALS AND CHILD PREDATORS ARE NEXT IN ONGOING CRACKDOWNHe did not identify specific individuals or entities under scrutiny. The FBI has not issued an official news release on the matter, and the scope of the review remains unclear.The FBI did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.Bonginos comment represents one of the most direct public statements by a senior FBI official regarding the agencys continued interest in the pandemics origin and the surrounding circumstances.In 2023, then-FBI Director Christopher Wray said the agency assessed with moderate confidence that COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab incident in Wuhan, China. Chinese authorities have consistently denied such claims, calling them politically motivated and unsubstantiated.FBI DEPUTY DIRECTOR DAN BONGINO: JAMES COMEY 'BROUGHT SHAME TO THE FBI AGAIN' WITH '86 47' POSTBonginos post follows the detection of a new COVID-19 variant, provisionally identified by researchers as NB.1.8.1, which has appeared in several U.S. states. Federal health authorities have not designated it as a variant of concern.The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic has continued its inquiry into whether early public health messaging downplayed the lab leak theory for diplomatic or political reasons.Dr. Anthony Fauci, a former White House health advisor, has repeatedly denied any effort to conceal information, calling those allegations "entirely false."DOJ INVESTIGATING ANDREW CUOMO FOR ALLEGEDLY LYING ABOUT COVID DECISIONS, SOURCE CONFIRMSCLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPBongino has increasingly used social media to communicate bureau updates directly to the public.A former NYPD officer and Secret Service agent, Bongino was appointed deputy director earlier this year by FBI Director Kash Patel.

Senior State Department officials tell Fox News all visa holders associated with Harvard University are being scrutinized, not just student visa holders.Along with student visas, the State Department will be conducting a substantive investigation into B-1, or business visas; B-2, or tourist visas; as well as others, officials said.The investigation is aimed at identifying potential security vulnerabilities or other abuses of the visa system.The probe could impact hundreds of people associated with the elite school and could reveal if people entering with claimed connections truly have real connections or more tenuous connections.TRUMP ADMIN ASKING FEDERAL AGENCIES TO CANCEL REMAINING HARVARD CONTRACTSFox News Digital learned earlier in the day that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is eliminating the student visa program at Harvard University due to "pro-terrorist conduct" at campus protests.The move is a severe consequence in response to what the DHS claims is Harvards refusal to comply with its requests for behavioral records of student visa holders."This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said. "It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments. Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused. They have lost their Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification as a result of their failure to adhere to the law. Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country."TRUMP ACCUSES HARVARD OF BEING 'VERY SLOW' TO TURN OVER FOREIGN STUDENT INFOHarvard may no longer enroll foreign students in the 2025-2026 school year, and existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status to reside in the U.S. before the next academic year begins."As a result of your brazen refusal to comply with multiple requests to provide the Department of Homeland Security pertinent information while perpetuating an unsafe campus environment that is hostile to Jewish students, promotes pro-Hamas rhetoric, and employs racist diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, you have lost this privilege," Noem wrote in a letter to Maureen Martin, the universitys director of immigration services.Noem offered Harvard 72 hours to provide the information requested for an opportunity to regain its visa program for the next school year.HARVARD SUES TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OVER TERMINATION OF STUDENT VISA PROGRAMShe called the move the "direct result of Harvards epic failure to comply with simple reporting requirements."Harvard, meanwhile, asserted the termination was "unlawful."Last month, Harvard announced it would allow foreign students to accept admission to both Harvard and a foreign university as backup amid the Trump administrations threats to move to block Harvards authorization to host them. Typically, students must accept enrollment at Harvard by May 1 and cant commit to another university.At least a dozen Harvard students have had their authorization to study in the U.S. revoked over campus protest activity.The Trump administration has already frozen close to $3 billion in federal funding to the university, largely dedicated to research, and launched investigations across the departments of Justice, Education and Health and Human Services. They claim that Harvard has failed to address campus antisemitism and eradicate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in its policies.Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Wednesday the U.S. will begin "aggressively" revoking visas of Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.He also told Congress this week that the State Department had probably revoked "thousands" of student visas by this point and would "proudly" revoke more."We're going to continue to revoke the visas of people who are here as guests and are disrupting our higher education facilities," he said Tuesday. "A visa is a privilege, not a right."The crackdown on university policies comes after a wave of pro-Gaza student protests and encampments swept schools across the nation since the beginning of Israels offensive campaign to eradicate Hamas after the Oct. 7 attacks to pressure university administrations to divest from Israel.Fox News Digitals Morgan Phillips contributed to this report.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday commuted the 12-year sentence of a major political donor who was serving time for a number of offenses, including obstructing an investigation into Trumps 2017 inaugural committee, the White House confirmed with Fox News Digital.Imaad Zuberi, 54, was a major Democrat supporter before he backed Trump following his 2016 election victory, The New York Times reported. Before pivoting to Trump on election night, he served as a bundler for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, including stints on both of their campaign finance committees.Zuberi donated more than $1.1 million to committees associated with Trump and the Republican Party months after the 2016 election, the Times reported.TRUMP 'PARDON CZAR' EXPLAINS KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TRUMP AND BIDEN PARDONSThe donations secured him invitations to a pair of black-tie dinners celebrating Trumps inauguration.In 2020, he pleaded guilty to obstructing a federal investigation into the source of a $900,000 donation he made through his company to Trumps inaugural committee in late December 2016, the report states.Zuberi also pleaded guilty to falsifying records filed with the Justice Department under the Foreign Agents Registration Act to conceal his lobbying work on behalf of Sri Lanka.Zuberi allegedly directed millions of dollars from the Sri Lankan contract to himself and his wife for personal purposes, shortchanging lobbyists, public relations and law firms, and certain subcontractors who were part of the lobbying effort.MAN WHO HAD PRISON SENTENCE COMMUTED BY BIDEN NOW FACING DRUG, FIREARMS-RELATED CHARGESHis commutation was one of several on Wednesday, as well as a few pardons.Larry Hoover, who is serving time in a federal supermax prison, also had his sentence commuted. Hoover, the co-founder of the Chicago gang Gangster Disciples, was originally imprisoned for a 1973 murder and later convicted in 1998 for operating a criminal enterprise.Trump also pardoned former Connecticut Gov. John Rowland, who was convicted in two federal criminal cases, including one that contributed to his resignation.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Karen Reads defense team looked to chip away at a crash experts credibility by pointing to eye-watering expenditures and alleged inconsistencies in experiments as the state enters the 11th hour of testimony in their case.Read is accused of killing her then-boyfriend, Boston police officer John OKeefe, by striking him with her Lexus SUV outside a house party at 34 Fairview Road and leaving him to die in frigid temperatures shortly after midnight on Jan. 29, 2022.The states expected final witness, Dr. Judson Welcher, a crash reconstructionist with Texas-based Aperture LLC, held firm on his findings that Reads vehicle allegedly struck OKeefe.KAREN READ'S SUV REACHED '74% THROTTLE' MOMENTS BEFORE JOHN O'KEEFE'S FINAL MOVEMENTS, CRASH EXPERT TESTIFIES"[OKeefes injuries are] consistent with being struck by a Lexus and also contacting a hard surface, such as frozen ground," Welcher told special prosecutor Hank Brennan.In a sometimes-evasive line of cross-examination, Welcher often provided non-answers to defense attorney Robert Alessis questions surrounding his modifications to a PowerPoint presentation used in Reads trial to depict Apertures investigation."Assume the trial started approximately April 22, 2025," Alessi said. "Did you create your updated presentation before or after [it began]?""I dont know," Welcher replied.KAREN READ TRIAL WITNESS FACES BRUTAL CROSS-EXAMINATION OVER VEHICLE DATAAlessi looked to nail down a timeline of when Welcher may have made changes to the document and whether the prosecution communicated with him regarding the alterations.Welcher eventually relented before testifying that he altered the presentation for the first time on May 13, with the most recent change occurring "like, 10 minutes ago.""Half of that was in response to objections from the defense," Welcher said. "I had to add all the parts to where everything was. Then, when I got out here, Mr. Brennan asked me to take out references to evidence about statements that I was not allowed to present. So that would have been within the last three days. Then I've modified it a couple of times today based on rulings from the judge."BRAIN SURGEON TESTIFIES JOHN O'KEEFE DIED FROM FALL ON FROZEN GROUND IN KAREN READ TRIALHowever, Welcher testified on cross-examination that the amendments he made to the presentation did not alter the overall document."I changed one slide," Welcher said. "There were 130 slides originally, or something like that. So half of the changes [were] on that day, which was one slide. I added one line to the bottom of the previous slide.""Well then, why did you make it in the middle of trial if it wasn't significant?" Alessi asked. "Why didn't you just leave it off and then discuss it in terms of testimony?"EXPERT WITNESS IN KAREN READ MURDER TRIAL CAUGHT WITH 'ERRORS' INFLATING HIS CREDENTIALS"So it ultimately was left off because it was insignificant, and I didn't need to have it," Welcher said. "The way it got presented was exactly the way it was before May 13. So it didn't change anything."On cross-examination, Welcher revealed the district attorneys office previously agreed to pay Aperture at least $325,000 for the firms services, along with covering the cost of the Lexus SUV used in testing."Were keeping [the vehicle] until the trials over," Welcher said. "[Then] were selling it and charging the commonwealth the difference in the price exactly."KAREN READ SCORES MAJOR WIN AS JUDGE ALLOWS CRASH RECONSTRUCTION TESTIMONYAperture has been paid $44,510 for its services to date, with the state expected to pay upwards of $400,000 for around eight months of work, according to Alessi."Dr. Welcher was perfect on direction, but only a B- on cross-examination," retired Massachusetts Superior Court Judge and Boston College law professor Jack Lu told Fox News Digital. "He is not answering the questions from Mr. Alessi directly.He may not be intentionally being evasive, but hes no longer a near-perfect example of how an expert witness should testify."OKeefes arm injuries were concurrent with being struck by the make and model of Reads vehicle, Welcher testified on direct examination. The crash expert pointed to a video showing him painting the taillight of the car before brushing up against it to mimic a collision.FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON XAlessi looked to create doubt surrounding Welchers findings, grilling the biomechanical engineer on the methodology behind his experiment surrounding the cause of the injury to OKeefes eye."Im trying to make it clear," Welcher said. "We dont know his exact body position at the point of impact, nor do we know the exact position on the ground. Which is part of the reason why I havent tried to exactly simulate this, because we dont have enough parameters to do that. So I dont have that information. Im showing the geometry relative to someone of Mr. OKeefes height.""So you dont have the information to do that properly," Alessi said. "So therefore, you cant preclude that he had a laceration to the eye from the spoiler by your own answer that you just gave, correct?"Welcher doubled down on his investigation, asserting on the stand that Apertures experiment was correct based on the information the firm had at the time, despite Alessi revealing the vehicle in Welchers test was moving only two miles per hour significantly less than the speed of Reads vehicle.SIGN UP TO GET TRUE-CRIME NEWSLETTER"Would you agree that you did a blue paint test with the vehicle going at two miles per hour?" Alessi asked."Of course," Welcher said."You didnt do a blue paint test with the vehicle going at 20 miles per hour, correct?" Alessi said."That is correct," Welcher said. "I was not going to hit myself with the Lexus at 20 miles an hour."Wednesday marked the second day of testimony from Welcher, as the state is expected to rest its case this week.Read pleaded not guilty and is facing the possibility of life in prison if convicted of the top charge, second-degree murder."The model being followed here is very good and professional," Lu said. "What you have here is a very nice judge meets a very nice lawyer," adding, "This results in a looser, less-focused cross-examination. Its working out fine here, partially because the witness is not being super evasive."
