    Smokey Robinson faces new scrutiny after 2015 sexual assault investigation closed
    Motown legend Smokey Robinson is once again under scrutiny with renewed allegations of sexual assault. Authorities investigated a previous sexual assault allegation against Robinson in 2015, but no charges were filed due to insufficient evidence, prosecutors said Friday.The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office confirmed the decade-old investigation and its decision to decline charges in a statement Friday.

"Mr. Robinson looks forward to the conclusion of the current investigation and has no doubt that a similar determination will be reached here."Robinson, 85, was accused of sexual misconduct and false imprisonment May 6 in a $50 million lawsuit filed by four unnamed former employees, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.The lawsuit said Robinson harassed and assaulted his former housekeepers who worked at his Chatsworth home between 2006 and 2024.Frances, Robinson's wife of 25 years, was also accused of perpetuating a "hostile work environment."Robinson's attorney previously called the housekeepers' allegations "vile" and "false."SMOKEY ROBINSON SLAMS SEXUAL ASSAULT LAWSUIT AS HE FIRMLY DENIES ALLEGATIONSEarlier this week, Robinson and his wife filed a $500 million cross-complaint against the former staff members.

This type of retaliatory litigation is precisely what Californias anti-SLAPP laws were enacted to prevent."Robinson is a member of both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

    Gavin Newsom proposes $2,000 asset eligibility test to control soaring state Medi-Cal costs
    California Gov. Gavin Newsom is proposing an "asset test" for seniors to prove eligibility for Medi-Cal healthcare benefits for low-income Californians in response to a budget shortfall. To qualify, people would have to possess less than $2,000 in assets to qualify.The governor's budget proposal, written by the California Department of Finance, said the reasons for the increased costs include "higher overall enrollment, pharmacy costs and higher managed care costs."In the last 10 years, he said, Medi-Cal costs have increased by $20.5 billion.NEWSOM PROPOSES FREEZE ON ALLOWING ADULT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO JOIN CALIFORNIA MEDICAID PROGRAMNewsom has also proposed freezing new enrollment for adults in the country illegally as a way to cut Medi-Cal costs."Some of the most significant contributing factors to this growth are the COVID-19 continuous coverage requirement and the implementation of major policy changes such as the full elimination of the asset test for older adults and the full-scope expansion to all income-eligible Californians, regardless of immigration status," the proposal said. .The assets included in the test would be salary, money in a bank account, cash on hand, a second car, home value and retirement funds. Applicants with more than $2,000 in assets would be ineligible for Medi-Cal.The 2025-26 budget proposal said Medi-Cal costs have increased starkly and continue to outpace revenues. The program cost $37.6 billion over the last year, and the cost is expected to increase by $10 billion over the next year without cuts.Along with low-income adults, many seniors and people with disabilities use Medi-Cal benefits that include in-home care services.For decades before 2024, the asset test was required for seniors to prove their eligibility for Medi-Cal, and Newsoms proposal would reinstate it.The proposal said that the asset test would save $94 million this fiscal year and $791 million by the 2028-29 fiscal year.LAWMAKERS IN DEEP BLUE STATE DEMAND AUDIT OVER SKYROCKETING HEALTHCARE COSTS: 'ALARMING NATURE'Disability Rights California, a nonprofit, said the proposal would do "tremendous harm" to Californians.ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT HEALTHCARE COSTS IN BLUE STATE TRIGGERS INTENSE BUDGET DEBATE"While we understand the reality of budget shortfalls and that cuts will sometimes be necessary, the priorities and reality of this May revision are even worse than what we imagined," the group said in a statement. "It demonstrates a continued willingness on the part of the governor to sacrifice the health and human services of Californias people, particularly the disabled, poor, and elderly populations of this abundant state."The group added that the asset test "effectively demands extreme poverty in order to continue receiving critical healthcare."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe governor defended his proposals, according to the Los Angeles Times, saying, "None of this is the kind of work you enjoy doing, but youve got to do it. We have to be responsible. We have to be accountable. We have to balance the budget."Fox News Digital has reached out to Newsoms office for comment.

    San Diego official faces backlash after labeling ICE agents 'terrorists'
    A California city councilmember was blasted on social media over the weekend after sharing a photo of ICE agents on Instagram with the word "Terrorists" written in red on top of the agents.In the photo, which San Diego City Councilmember Sean Elo-Rivera posted to Instagram with the Rage Against The Machine song "Bulls On Parade," immigration agents appear to be in a parking lot wearing helmets and vests and carrying guns."Look at this photo. This isnt a war zoneits a neighborhood in our city," Elo-Rivera wrote in the post. "In San Diego, theyve targeted parents dropping off their kids at school, people following the law inside courthouses, and workers just doing their jobs at local restaurants."These are federal agents carrying out raids on under the false pretense of safety,'" he added. "This isnt safety. Its state-sponsored terrorism. And anyone who cares about freedomand true safetyshould be fighting back."DHS SAYS MASSACHUSETTS CITY COUNCIL MEMBER 'INCITED CHAOS' AS ICE ARRESTED 'VIOLENT CRIMINAL ALIEN'Prior to the post Friday night, Elo-Rivera, who represents the 9th City Council District, shared a series of Instagram stories criticizing ICE action in the city."They've targeted parents outside schools in my district," he wrote in one story. "They've targeted people following the law at courthouses. Tonight, they targeted hard working folks in South Park and tomorrow it could be anyone in any neighborhood in San Diego. The only way we put a stop to it is by not looking away and demanding that it end."In subsequent Instagram stories, he called ICE agents "jackbooted thugs," "cowards" and "criminals" and said the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) action was "state-sponsored terrorism."CALIFORNIA HOME OF SUSPECT ACCUSED OF DOXXING ICE AGENTS RAIDED AND SEARCHEDAfter the public rant was shared by LA-based Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin Saturday afternoon, Elo-Rivera jumped back on social media again to double down on his phrasing."A Fox News correspondent has called attention to my choice of words I said what I meant and meant what I said," Elo-Rivera wrote.He then posted a screenshot from Cornell Law School's website, which notes there is no universal definition for terrorism, and checked off a bullet-pointed list of "common elements that characterize it" before calling Instagram users "fascists."SANCTUARY CITY LAWYERS PLOT TO HELP ILLEGAL MIGRANTS EVADE ICE IN EXPOSED GROUP EMAILStephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff for policy and a homeland security advisor, took to X to respond to Elo-Rivera's posts, writing, "We are living in the age of leftwing domestic terrorism. They are openly encouraging violence against law enforcement to aid and abet the invasion of America."Elo-Rivera responded by calling Miller "one of the most dishonest and worst people in America," noting "nothing makes me more confident in my position than knowing he hates it."The Instagram posts came just hours after Patricia Hyde, the head of ICE Boston, told Fox News sanctuary jurisdictions are beginning to escalate against ICE.Reported incidents include a group of activists trying to free a suspected illegal immigrant who was handcuffed by ICE and a crowd blowing ICE's cover outside an alleged illegal immigrant murderer's home."I think the lack of cooperation is getting worse and worse, and its putting law enforcement lives in danger," Hyde said.Cornell University, Cornell Law School, ICE and San Diego City Council President Joe LaCava did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's requests for comment.Fox News Digital's Michael Dorgan contributed to this report.

    Driver at fault in deadly Yellowstone crash had blood alcohol level twice the legal limit: police
    A driver who crashed a pickup into a tour van near Yellowstone National Park earlier this month, causing the death of seven people, had a blood alcohol level more than twice the legal limit for driving, police said Friday.Isaiah Moreno, 25, of Humble, Texas, was operating a Dodge Ram pickup truck on U.S. Highway 20 in eastern Idaho when his vehicle crossed the center line and collided head-on with a Mercedes tour van carrying more than a dozen people.Both vehicles burst into flames, and Moreno, along with six people from China, Italy and California, were killed. Survivors were taken to nearby hospitals with injuries.YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK EMPLOYEE DIES FROM MYSTERIOUS INJURIES IN STAFF HOUSINGThe deadly crash happened near Henrys Lake, about 16 miles west of Yellowstone in Wyoming. Yellowstone is one of the countrys largest national parks and draws millions of visitors each year.Moreno had a blood alcohol level of .20%, Idaho State Police said in a statement. The limit is .08%."This tragedy should be a wake-up call," police Capt. Chris Weadick said. "No one plans to cause a crash or take a life when they get behind the wheel, but choices have consequences."Video from the May 1 crash shows a red truck on the wrong side of the road, its front crushed and on fire, while the tour van is engulfed in flames. Survivors were being tended to on the side of the road while a helicopter arrived.LOS ANGELES TOUR BUS CRASH LEAVES 1 DEAD, 32 HOSPITALIZED ON MOTHER'S DAYRoger Merrill, 60, told The Associated Press he was driving home when he came upon the collision, and he said there was an anxious wait for first responders."It took an unnervingly long time for help to arrive just because of the location," he said.ISP troopers responded to the collision at milepost 399. The highway where the crash happened is on a route between Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons that is open in the spring before a north-south route is plowed and the park fully opens for summer.The victims in the tour van were named by Local News 8 as van driver Yu Zhang, 30, of Eastvale, California; Ivana Wen, 28, of Milan, Italy; Jianping Li, 71, of Guangxi, China; Xiaoming Jiang, 66, of Guilin, China; Li Nie, 64, of Arcadia, California; and Aifeng Wan, 53, also of Arcadia, California.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    White House urges Iran to accept nuclear deal as IAEA reports uranium enrichment spike
    The White House on Saturday said it is in Irans "best interest to accept" its proposal on a nuclear deal following a report from the International Atomic Energy Agency saying the country is swiftly increasing its stockpile of near weapons-grade enriched uranium."President Trump has made it clear that Iran can never obtain a nuclear bomb," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. "Special Envoy [Steve] Witkoff has sent a detailed and acceptable proposal to the Iranian regime, and its in their best interest to accept it. Out of respect for the ongoing deal, the administration will not comment on details of the proposal to the media."The IAEAs report said Iran had increased its stockpile to 900.8 pounds of uranium enriched by up to 60% as of May 17, a nearly 50% increase since the agencys last report in February, which put the stockpile at 605.8 pounds.The report said Iran is "the only non-nuclear-weapon state to produce such material," which is a "serious concern."IRAN CONDEMNS AUSTRIA OVER REPORT ON ADVANCED NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAMThe IAEA added that just 92 pounds of 60% enriched uranium is enough to produce an atomic bomb if it is enriched to 90%.Iran maintains that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, but U.S. intelligence agencies say the country has "undertaken activities that better position it to produce a nuclear device, if it chooses to do so."Irans Foreign Ministry and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran said in a joint statement that the report was based on "unreliable and differing information sources," claiming that it was biased and unprofessional.The statement added, "The Islamic Republic of Iran expresses its disappointment about the report, which was prepared by imposing pressure on the agency for political purposes, and expresses its obvious objection about its content."On Thursday, Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchiwrote on X that he was unsure a U.S.-Iran nuclear deal could be imminently reached."Iran is sincere about a diplomatic solution that will serve the interests of all sides. But getting there requires an agreement that will fully terminate all sanctions and uphold Iran's nuclear rights including enrichment," he wrote.IRAN FOREIGN MINISTER VOWS NUCLEAR ENRICHMENT WILL CONTINUE 'WITH OR WITHOUT A DEAL'Oman Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi presented the Trump administrations first formal proposal in Tehran Saturday, which calls for Iran to cease all uranium enrichment and for a regional consortium that includes Iran, Saudi Arabia and other Arab states and the U.S. for producing nuclear power, The New York Times reported, citing people familiar with the document.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus office also put out a rare statement on a Saturday about the IAEAs report, calling it "grave.""The agency presents a stark picture that serves as a clear warning sign: Despite countless warnings by the international community, Iran is totally determined to complete its nuclear weapons program," Netanyahus office said."The report strongly reinforces what Israel has been saying for years the purpose of Irans nuclear program is not peaceful. This is evident from the alarming scope of Irans uranium enrichment activity. Such a level of enrichment exists only in countries actively pursuing nuclear weapons and has no civilian justification whatsoever.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"The report clearly indicates that Iran remains in non-compliance of its fundamental commitments and obligations under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and continues to withhold cooperation from IAEA inspectors. The international community must act now to stop Iran."
