Graphic content warningBoston Police Officer John O'Keefe's 2022 death could have been the result of a violent love triangle involving an ATF agent and his girlfriend, suspected killer Karen Read, who began texting each other just weeks before he was last seen alive, her defense posited on Monday inside a courtroom in Dedham, Massachusetts.Read, now 45, is accused of killing her 46-year-old boyfriend, a Boston police officer, on Jan. 29, 2022. Police allege she hit him with the rear end of her Lexus SUV and drove off, incapacitating him and leaving him to die during a blizzard.Read has pleaded not guilty and denied striking O'Keefe at all through her attorneys."You were just asked about your opinion whether or not there was a motive that you found for Brian Higgins to want to murder John O'Keefe," defense attorney Alan Jackson asked Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik of the Massachusetts State Police. "I'm asking you a different question. Did you, in your mind, in your opinion, after having read those texts, find a motive for Brian Higgins, perhaps want to confront John O'Keefe because of jealousy?"KAREN READ TRIAL REVEALS FLIRTY TEXT MESSAGES WITH ATF AGENT BEHIND BOYFRIEND'S BACK"If you're asking for my opinion, my opinion is that he wouldn't need to confront Mr. O'Keefe," Bukhenik said. "Mr. O'Keefe was not the one pursuing Mr. Higgins. It was your client that was pursuing Mr. Higgins."On Friday, Jackson had Bukhenik read through a lengthy string of texts between Read and Higgins exchanged in the weeks before O'Keefe's death, where they flirted, invited one another over, discussed a kiss outside O'Keefe's house and frequently brought up heavy drinking.Read began the conversation, and Higgins' response was to ask how she got his number and why she was reaching out to him. Read stopped responding a few days before O'Keefe's death. Higgins, Read and O'Keefe were all present at the Waterfall Bar and Grille on Jan. 28, 2022, and Jackson asked Bukhenik whether surveillance video showed Higgins being aggressive toward O'Keefe.STATE TROOPER POINTS TO POSSIBLE WEAPON IN JOHN O'KEEFE DEATH AND IT'S NOT KAREN READ'S CARThat same night, Higgins sent two unanswered texts to Read."After weeks of communicating with Miss Read in a romantic manner, and then seeing her walk in the door with John O'Keefe and sending the text message, Umm. Well, after having been intoxicated, do you see that, detective, as an investigator, as a reasonable, objective investigator, as a possible scenario for Brian Higgins to be jealous about John O'Keefe?""There's a possibility there, but I didn't see it," Bukhenik said."Did you explore that possibility?" Jackson said.KAREN READ'S GOOGLE TIMELINE DERAILED AGAIN AS 2ND EXPERT DISPUTES DEFENSE CLAIMSBukhenik testified that he did not but said he relied on the "totality of the investigation," which led to charges against Read.Bukhenik returned to the stand for his third day of testimony and spent hours answering questions. His testimony concluded at the end of the day and Judge Beverly Cannone told him he would not have to return on Tuesday.Under re-direct examination from special prosecutor Hank Brennan, Bukhenik testified that green marks on the back of O'Keefe's jeans looked like grass stains that he surmised had been sustained when O'Keefe fell to the ground after being struck.On cross-examination, defense attorney Alan Jackson asked if grass stains could come from someone being dragged.GET REAL-TIME UPDATES DIRECTLY ON THE TRUE CRIME HUB"My common sense dictates that it was not a drag mark because it would have linear characterizations, and it would be both buttocks that are engaged in contact with the ground while being dragged," Bukhenik said.Earlier in the day, Bukhenik read text messages from former state Trooper Michael Proctor, who has since been fired over his off-duty behavior during the initial investigation.During questioning by Jackson, Bukhenik confirmed that Proctor called Read "retarded," said he hated her other defense attorney, David Yannetti, and wrote about searching her phone for nude selfies.FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON XJackson also played video that appears to show Brian Higgins at the Canton Police Department headquarters about an hour after prosecutors say O'Keefe died.Higgins was seen on surveillance video among a group of people at the Waterfall Bar and Grille along with Read and O'Keefe on Jan. 28. He also went to an after-party at 34 Fairview Road, a home owned by another Boston cop, Brian Albert.O'Keefe was discovered dead outside the following morning.Multiple witnesses have testified that they heard Read repeatedly saying, "I hit him," the morning Read and two former friends found O'Keefe dead under a mound of snow on Albert's lawn.After sending jurors to lunch Monday, Cannone held a quick voir dire hearing and ultimately said she would not allow Jackson to question Bukhenik about what he knew about the relationship between Proctor and relatives of Albert, including one of his brothers, Chris, who was also at the Waterfall on Jan. 28.Read could face up to life in prison if convicted of the top charge, second-degree murder. She is also accused of manslaughter and leaving the scene of a deadly accident.Police have not accused Higgins of a crime, and prosecutors say Read is the only suspect in O'Keefe's death.

Former President Donald Trump is embarking this week on a high-stakes tour of the Persian Gulf region, targeting business deals and strategic partnerships with three oil-rich nations: Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.The trip marks Trump's first major foreign visit of his new term and comes as nuclear negotiations with Iran drag on and as war continues between Israel and the Palestinian terror organization, Hamas, in the Gaza Strip. While business is the official focus, the backdrop is anything but calm.White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt described the mission as part of Trumps broader vision that "extremism is defeated [through] commerce and cultural exchanges."Under President Joe Biden, U.S. relations with Gulf states cooled, particularly after Biden vowed to make Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman a "pariah" over the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. But Trump has reversed course, embracing a more transactional approach that has warmed ties with regional leaders."The overall goal here is that the United States is reminding our Middle East allies that we're here to stay," said Gregg Roman, executive director of the Middle East Forum. "Were here to promote our joint interests rather than the abandonment policies under the previous administration."Saudi Arabia has already pledged $600 billion in U.S. investments, spanning weapons purchases, technology transfers, artificial intelligence and the stock market. Trump has said he believes the Saudis may ultimately commit up to $1 trillion.While Saudi leaders aim to diversify their economy away from oil, those massive investments still depend on oil revenues, which could be threatened by Trumps push to lower global energy prices.TRUMP STRAINS RELATIONSHIP WITH NETANYAHU AS MIDDLE EAST POLICY INCREASINGLY ISOLATES ISRAELIn addition to economic deals, Trump and bin Salman are expected to discuss a possible civil nuclear program and expanded defense cooperation. Such agreements were once linked to a potential Abraham Accords-style normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel.But Riyadh has made clear it wont recognize Israel unless Palestinian statehood is on the table, something Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has staunchly opposed. No stop in Israel is scheduled during Trumps tour."Israeli normalization in any Saudi-U.S. project is an outdated option," said Saudi geopolitical analyst Salman Al-Ansari. "The second Trump administration is doubling down on its strategically autonomous Middle East policy."In a possible goodwill gesture ahead of the trip, Hamas released Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander, a move Trump called "monumental" in the push to end the Gaza conflict.And as the UAE seeks to boost its ties with the U.S. and become a global AI leader by 2030, itll need American microchips. The UAE has gone even further than the Saudis, promising $1.4 trillion in U.S. investments over the next decade focused on AI, semiconductors, manufacturing and energy.Biden had tightened curbs on AI exports to keep such technologies out of the hands of adversaries at a time when China drew closer to Middle Eastern states, especially the UAE.On Thursday, the U.S. announced Trump would rescind the Biden-era restrictions.Trumps whirlwind Gulf visit begins Tuesday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where hell headline the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum alongside Saudi ministers, White House crypto czar David Sacks and other business leaders.On Wednesday, hell attend a Gulf Cooperation Council meeting before flying to Qatar for talks with Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and a visit to the U.S. militarys Al Udeid Air Base.Thursdays final stop is Abu Dhabi, where Trump will meet UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.4TH ROUND OF US-IRAN TALKS ENDS AS TRUMP SET TO EMBARK ON HISTORIC MIDDLE EAST TOURThe Qataris are pulling out all the stops to impress: Theyve offered Trump the use of a royal Boeing 747-8, typically reserved for the Qatari royal family, to serve as Air Force One.Since being named a major non-NATO ally by Biden in 2022, Qatar has deepened its ties with the U.S., hosting American troops and mediating sensitive negotiations, including ongoing back-channel talks between Israel and Gaza.Doha also maintains close contact with Syrias new president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, who ousted Bashar al-Assad and is now seeking sanctions relief and normalized ties with the West."Regional leaders will have an opportunity to address the situation directly with the president," said regional expert Jonathan Bass. "Trump is the only man that can lead the way."While a fourth round of Iran nuclear talks in Oman over the weekend failed to produce a breakthrough, Tehran is expected to keep a close eye on Trumps Gulf meetings.Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi made unannounced visits to both Saudi Arabia and Qatar ahead of Trumps arrival, likely in hopes of passing messages through those governments to Washington.But all three of Trumps host nations, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar, remain wary of Irans ambitions."The region needs to openly address the problem of the IRGC," said Bass, referring to Irans elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. "The IRGC is trying to undermine every single country in the region."

The Pentagon is ending gender transition treatment for transgender troops, according to a new memo, as officials move to enforce President Donald Trump's plan to boot transgender troops out of the U.S. military.Under the instructions, the Defense Department is prohibiting any new hormone treatments or surgical procedures for transgender troops, according to the memo, Reuters reported."I am directing you to take the necessary steps to immediately implement this guidance," Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Stephen Ferrara wrote in the memo.HEGSETH ORDERS DEADLINE FOR TRANS SERVICE MEMBERS TO LEAVE MILITARY: 'OUT AT THE DOD'One transgender service member described the move as "the latest slap in the face" to honorably serving troops."If there was any doubt left, there is not anymore: transgender service members are no longer entitled to the same standard of medical care as their peers," the service member told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity out of fear of being targeted.Last month, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth expressed his opposition to gender transition treatment for transgender troops when he re-posted an article on X that said the Pentagon would resume treatments for transgender troops and their dependents.BIPARTISAN BILL WOULD MAKE IT EASIER FOR MILITARY RECRUITS WITH MEDICAL ISSUES TO LAND DEFENSE JOBS"If this is true - we will find any way possible to stop it," Hegseth wrote. "Taxpayers should NEVER pay for this lunacy."Since being confirmed as Pentagon chief, Hegseth has embraced efforts to eliminate diversity initiatives, particularly those applying to transgender troops.Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court gave the green light for the Trump administration to implement its ban on transgender troops in the military, allowing the Defense Department to discharge thousands of current transgender troops and deny new recruits as legal challenges against the move continue to play out in court.A memo released last week revealed that Hegseth issued instructions to begin kicking out transgender troops who do not voluntarily leave by June 6.Trump had signed an executive order in January shortly after returning to the White House that reversed a Biden administration policy that had allowed transgender troops to serve.Officials have said there are 4,240 U.S. active-duty and National Guard transgender troops, although some transgender rights advocates say the number may be even higher.Reuters contributed to this report.

U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra, R-Iowa, filed paperwork on Monday to run for Iowa governor in the 2026 election.Feenstra, who was first elected to the U.S. House in 2020, filed the paperwork for "Feenstra for Governor" with the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board, which is needed to launch a gubernatorial campaign, according to the Iowa Capital Dispatch.The congressman is seeking to replace Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds, who said last month she would not run for a third term in 2026. Feenstra has been considering a gubernatorial run since Reynolds' announcement.THIS LONGTIME REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR WILL NOT SEEK RE-ELECTION IN 2026"Ill tell you right now, Im focused on fulfilling and making sure that we get Trumps agenda completed," Feenstra told reporters on April 23. "However, I always want to do whats best for our state, and I will continue to look at all aspects of what that looks like."Feenstra has not publicly announced a campaign for governor.The GOP primary in the Hawkeye State could potentially be crowded, although former state Rep. Brad Sherman is the only Republican to have officially joined the race after he launched his campaign in February.DOGE SENATOR TELLS OUTDOORS GROUP TO 'GO FISH' AFTER DISCOVERING MASSIVE GRANT TIED TO HIGH SALARIESBut others have taken steps toward a gubernatorial bid, including Iowa state Sen. Mike Bousselot, who launched an exploratory committee last month, as well as Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird and House Speaker Pat Grassley the grandson of U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa who each said they are considering a run for governor.Iowa Auditor Rob Sand filed paperwork on Monday to run in the state's Democratic primary.Feenstra is the only U.S. House member from Iowa considering a run for governor. The other three U.S. GOP Reps. Ashley Hinson, Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn all said they will not launch a gubernatorial campaign.Before he was elected to the U.S. House in 2020, when he defeated then-incumbent U.S. Rep. Steve King in the Republican primary, Feenstra served as a state senator since 2009. Before that, he was Sioux County treasurer from 2006 until 2008.

Hell hath now frozen over.President Donald Trumps decision to accept a $400-million plane from Qatar, as a gift, has prompted stinging criticism from Laura Loomer.Shes the hard-right activist who specializes in getting the president to fire top officials and withdraw nominees, or at least claims credit for doing so.If youve lost Loomer, youre losing the argument.TRUMP DEFENDS QATAR JUMBO JET OFFER AS TROUBLED BOEING FAILS TO DELIVER NEW AIR FORCE ONE FLEETNot according to Donald Trump. He told reporters yesterday that this was a "great gesture" by Qatar, done because "we keep them safe," referring to Qatar and the UAE, which hell be visiting after Saudi Arabia.He said the maintenance costs on the 40-year-old Air Force One planes are astronomical, and noted that the Reagan Library has such a plane. The decommissioned Qatar aircraft will go to a future Trump Library.But the Gippers plane didnt come from Qatar."How are we supposed to ever see the US under the Trump admin designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization," Loomer wrote, "if the US is now going to accept a $400 million jet from Qatar to fly the US President and his staff around on?"Calling the episode a "stain" on his tenure, she added: "I love President Trump. I would take a bullet for him. But, I have to call a spade a spade. We cannot accept a $400 million gift from jihadists in suits. The Qataris fund the same Iranian proxies in Hamas and Hezbollah who have murdered US Service Members. The same proxies that have worked with the Mexican cartels to get jihadists across our border."The media are in an uproar as well, and the story has only grown bigger since it was first reported by ABC News.HOUSE DEMOCRAT CALLS FOR 'IMMEDIATE' ETHICS PROBE OF QATARI PLANE GIFT TO TRUMPOf course, the luxury 747 will have to be upgraded with secure communications and military equipment. That would take at least till the end of the year.But one Pentagon official told the New York Times "were talking years, not months."Trump consulted Elon Musk, the DOGE leader and head of SpaceX, who told him that the plane could be delivered in a year.Two loyalists Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House Counsel David Warrington approved the arrangement, according to the Times. Trump toured the 747 in February when it was parked at the Palm Beach airport.There was a Plan B that got derailed. The Qataris offered to donate the plane immediately to the future Trump Library.But administration lawyers said that would violate the Constitutions emoluments clause which as Beltway insiders know, bars any federal official from accepting personal gifts from a foreign nation without the approval of Congress.The presidents "flood the zone" approach has ensured that this isnt the only story out there.He announced that after two days of talks, the U.S. and China reached a 90-day agreement that would reduce tariffs on Beijing from 145% to 30%, and Chinese tariffs would be cut to 10%.Its clear that Trump blinked. Having tanked the markets (which soared yesterday), he was under enormous pressure to undo the damage. So now were back to square one, roughly where we might have been without igniting a global crisis.TRUMP SAYS 'TOTAL RESET NEGOTIATED' WITH CHINA DURING TARIFF TALKS IN GENEVABut perhaps Xi Jinping blinked as well. His government was feeling the impact of the sky-high tariffs as well. The Chinese, with considerably less enthusiasm, said the "mistake" would only lead to further negotiations.Trump also was able to announce a cease-fire in the escalating war between India and Pakistan, thanks to some weekend diplomacy by Marco Rubio and JD Vance.Trump also was able to announce that Hamas was freeing the last living American hostage being held by the terrorist group.Trump also sided with Vladimir Putin, who wants to meet for peace talks with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who first wants a 30-day cease-fire, so that Moscow doesnt continue the killing and gain more territory while stalling on any pause in the fighting.Trump also was able to unveil a plan that he says will lower the cost of prescription drugs by 30 to 80%.SUBSCRIBE TO HOWIE'S MEDIA BUZZMETER PODCAST, A RIFF ON THE DAY'S HOTTEST STORIESBut circling back to the 747, the president chided ABCs Rachel Scott when she tried to question him about the plane:"Youre ABC fake news, right? Only ABC well, a few of you would Let me tell you, you should be embarrassed asking that question. Theyre giving us a free jet. I could say, No, no no, dont give us. I want to pay you a billion, or 400 million, or whatever it is' Or I could say, thank you very much.'"Scott tried again: "Respectfully, sir, as a businessman, some people may look at this and say, have you ever been given a gift worth millions of dollars and then not ""Its not a gift to me, its a gift to the Department of Defense," Trump said. "And you should know better, because youve been embarrassed enough, and so has your network. Your network is a disaster. ABC is a disaster."Whether the president is right or wrong, it seems like these are legitimate questions. And the media are always a great foil for him. So I dont see him backing down.
