Mark Geragos, a high-profile lawyer and the father of one of Sean "Diddy" Combs' attorneys, made a bold prediction about the rapper's prison sentence.Geragos anticipates the hip-hop mogul could serve 18 months or less behind bars."Whats the government going to ask for? Theyre going to ask for 50 to 60 months" the attorney said during an appearance on his podcast with Harvey Levin, "2 Angry Men," Wednesday. "The sentencing guidelines, frankly, are 20 to 27."DIDDY'S DREAM TEAM AVOIDED 'DISASTER' WITH ONE KEY MOVE, OJ SIMPSON ATTORNEY SAYS"I think if theres any justice, hell get 21 months, time served," Geragos predicted. "Even if he were to get 36, he's eligible for all kinds of other stuff, hes not going to do much more time.""I think hell be out within a year, 18 months at the most. I think there's a distinct possibility that he gets sentenced to something akin to time served," he noted.The jury in Diddys two-month trial reached a verdict on all counts Wednesday.Diddy was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges and found guilty on both counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Following the verdict, the judge denied the rapper's request for bail.Diddy has already spent nearly 10 months behind bars and remains in custody as he awaits sentencing. The time he served will be credited toward his final sentence.Diddys legal team was led by Geragos daughter, Teny, and Marc Agnifilo.During the podcast interview, Teny made a guest appearance to briefly thank the host, as he congratulated her on the outcome of Diddy's trial."I feel great," Teny said, all smiles, after her legal win on the "big case."DIDDY BEATS RICO, FOUND NOT GUILTY OF RACKETEERING CONSPIRACY AND SEX TRAFFICKINGDiddys other lawyers included Brian Steel who recently represented rapper Young Thug Anna Estevao, Jason Driscoll, Xavier R.

Kelly's lawyer, Nicole Blank Becker, told Fox News Digital her thoughts on the verdict in Diddy's case. She shared that the evidence from Diddy's exes, Cassie Ventura and "Jane," who testified under a pseudonym, made the two counts tied to transporting individuals for prostitution tough to beat."He was found guilty of two separate charges. Those charges involved transportation to engage in prostitution. These were, I thought, obvious wins in terms of the testimony we had from Cassie, the testimony we had from Jane they set this up very well," Becker said.CLICK HERE TO GET THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERWhile prosecutors built a strong case, Becker shared where she believed it started to fall apart."What they didn't set up well, and what they were striving to do, is get Diddy on this RICO charge... So, what did they do? They threw everything at him, everything, trying to mount their position that this was, in fact, some type of organized criminal enterprise we know the government tried to turn a music empire into a criminal empire."In the end, it was a stretch legally and logically, the attorney argued. The attempt to use RICO and the Mann Act (anti-sex trafficking law) were laws never meant for cases similar to Diddys, she added."Diddy clearly dodged a bullet when it came to the RICO charge," Becker noted.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

The transportation to engage in prostitution charges could carry a sentence of up to 10 years, while sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion may carry a 20-year sentence.Diddy will remain behind bars until his sentencing hearing. The prosecution has suggested four to five years for the rapper's sentence.Judge Arun Subramanian scheduled a remote hearing for Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET for the defense and prosecution to continue discussing a plan for Diddys sentencing.The federal judge proposed a sentencing hearing for Oct. 3.The date could be moved up as Diddy's defense argued for an expedited sentencing.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFox News Digital's Lauryn Overhultz and Tracy Wright contributed to this report.

Disgraced ex-CBS News anchor Dan Rather condemned the $16 million settlement between his former outlets parent company and President Donald Trump on Wednesday.In an interview with Variety, the former anchor said that Paramount paying Trump $16 million was the media company groveling to the president."Its a sad day for journalism. Its a sad day for 60 Minutes and CBS News. I hope people will read the details of this and understand what it was. It was distortion by the President and a kneeling down and saying, yes, sir, by billionaire corporate owners," he told the outlet.FAIR ELECTION FUND URGES FCC TO HOLD CBS ACCOUNTABLE FOR 'UNLAWFUL CONDUCT RELATED TO 60 MINUTES INTERVIEWParamount Global and CBS agreed on Tuesday to pay Trump a $16 million settlement following the presidents election interference lawsuit against the network. This will cover legal fees, costs of the case, and contributions to his future presidential library or charitable causes, to be determined at Trumps discretion.The media companies may have to pay another eight figures to Trump to cover advertisements, public service announcements, or other similar transmissions, in support of conservative causes by the network in the future, Fox News Digital has learned.Additionally, sources told Fox News Digital that CBS has agreed to update its editorial standards to install a mandatory new rule that the network will promptly release full, unedited transcripts of future presidential candidates interviews.Trump filed the lawsuit against the network which was originally for $20 billion based on his allegation that "60 Minutes" deceptively edited an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris that aired prior to the 2024 election.60 MINUTES PRODUCERS RAIL AGAINST TRUMP'S 'BULLS---' LAWSUIT, DREAD PROSPECTS OF PARAMOUNT MAKING SETTLEMENTRather, who stepped down from his role as CBS Evening News anchor in 2005 and left the network the following year after reporting a discredited story about then-President George W. Bush, argued that there was no reason for Paramount and CBS to settle with Trump."What really gets me about this is that Paramount didnt have to settle," he told Variety. "You settle a lawsuit when youve done something wrong. 60 Minutes did nothing wrong. It followed accepted journalistic practices. Lawyers almost unanimously said the case wouldnt stand up in court."The former anchor added that his support for CBS News and "60 Minutes" is "total, absolute," and noted that he believes much of the staff did their best to fight back against the suit."I do really think they fought a good fight on this, and theyll continue to fight. The people on 60 Minutes and at CBS News didnt just take it lying down. They did their best to stop it."He mentioned he wasnt surprised that Paramount and CBS executives settled, though.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"Big billionaire business people make decisions about money. We could always hope that they will make an exception when it comes to freedom of the press, but it wasnt to be," he said, adding, "Trump knew if he put the pressure on and threatened and just held that they would fold, because theres too much money on the table."Rather then characterized the settlement as a "sell-out to extortion by the president."The Wall Street Journals editorial board also criticized Trumps lawsuit against CBS News and other outlets, referring to it as "lawfare" in a column Wednesday.Additionally, the editorial stated, "President Trump has taunted the media for years, and some of his jibes are deserved given the groupthink in most newsrooms. Whats happening now, though, is different: The President is using government to intimidate news outlets that publish stories he doesnt like. Its a low move in a free country with a free press."Reps for Paramount did not immediately reply to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Former CIA Director John Brennan was once my boss. Given what we just learned in a shocking new report about his role in the Trump Russia hysteria, he should be in prison.Heres why.The CIAreleased fresh details yesterday about the creation nearly 10 years ago of the agencys Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) of Russia's influence campaign in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. It found that Russian President Vladimir Putin "aspired" to help then-candidate Donald Trump win the election. That assessment ordered by then-President Barack Obama and executed by Brennan ignited the Trump-Russia hoax that would haunt Trumps presidency for four years.EX-OBAMA INTEL BOSS WANTED ANTI-TRUMP DOSSIER INCLUDED IN 'ATYPICAL' 2016 ASSESSMENT DESPITE PUSHBACKWere now learning five key details Brennan used to cook the books to ensure maximum damage to Trump.Hetold The Wall Street Journal in January of 2017 he never read it and gave it no particular credence.He was lying.As his former staffers now admit, Brennan specifically pushed for the inclusion of the dossier in the ICA despite explicit warnings from his top operational and analytical management that the dossier "didnt meet the most basic [of] tradecraft standards."Brennan said he didnt care.As were now learning, he said he wanted it included because it "fit narrative consistency" aka Trump Russia collusion and that then-FBI Director James Comey was demanding the same.Thats shocking, because both Comey and Brennans agencies had investigated its allegations in the fall of 2016 and found them not to be credible.But both Comey and Brennan still wanted it in, simply and clearly to destroy President Trump.As were now learning, Brennan demanded that his agency take the lead in drafting the ICA, intentionally blocking out other intel agencies and the National Intelligence Council.As the new report confirms, that decision "depart[ed] significantly from standard procedures for formal IC assessments."But why would Brennan do that?As a former CIA officer, I know why: He wanted to control the authors (his employees), their assessment, any dissent, and their careers if they crossed him.As the new report confirms, "Direct engagement in the ICA's development [by agency head Brennan] was highly unusual in both scope and intensity. This exceptional level of senior involvement likely influenced participants, altered normal review processes, and ultimately compromised analytic rigor."In other words, Brennan knew he could make or break the careers of his analysts. And so he did ensuring that he got the exact ICA he wanted, which included the junk dossier and a single-source intel report on fabricated "Trump-Russia Collusion."As were now learning, CIA analysts felt "jammed" by Brennans timeline to produce the ICA by late December 2016 despite the fact that "the election had concluded, and the ICA was essentially a post-mortem analysis."The highly compressed timeline was "atypical" for an ICA, which "ordinarily can take months to prepare, especially for assessments of such length, complexity, and political sensitivity."But Brennan didnt care. He wanted this ICA done by the time Trump got into office.The new report confirms that Brennan and Comey shared the ICA with "more than 200 U.S. officials. This is unusually high for such a highly compartmented product"In other words, they briefed it to leak it to destroy Trump.In fact, thats what The New York Times suspected, too. As theyasked their readers in January of 2017, why would Brennan and Comey have briefed and shared the discredited dossier "to multiple people in Congress and the executive branch, virtually assuring it would be leaked?"CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThe answer: Brennan and Comey spread the ICA (and dossier) far and wide to ensure it all leaked and hobbled Donald Trump and destroyed his presidency.Bottom line: John Brennan, James Comey, and their fellow anti-Trumpers in the U.S. intel community intentionally tried to destroy the presidency of Donald Trump with a tightly controlled, scripted, rushed, and poorly sourced ICA (and dossier).In doing so, they tried to destroy not just President Trump, but also the Republic itself. And thats why this still matters.These men thought they knew what was best for America, and they didnt give a damn what voters like you thought. It was their country not yours and they were willing to act with their profound powers to destroy a politician they didnt like.Thats why these men deserve to rot in prison, along with anyone in the Obama White House or Clinton campaign who colluded with them.

FIRST ON FOX: The State Department has changed its hiring and promoting criteria for foreign service officers to eliminate any diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) considerations.Before now, the second of five core precepts used in State Department hiring and promotion emphasized promoting DEI, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital. That precept has now been replaced with one focused on "fidelity."A senior State Department official said it was "unbelievable" fidelity was not already part of the promotion criteria."This is a commonsense and needed change. U.S. Foreign Service Officers represent America overseas and should be judged on their ability to faithfully and dutifully represent and champion our country abroad."WHITE HOUSE VOWS TO IMPLEMENT 'SYSTEM OF MERIT' IN US, DISMANTLE DEI 'STRANGULATION'The departments previous hiring guide for 20222025 required foreign service employees to "demonstrate impact in diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility," according to the internal documents.Entry-level applicants were expected to proactively seek to "improve ones own self-awareness with respect to promoting inclusivity." Mid- and senior-level supervisors were told to recruit and retain diverse teams, respond immediately to non-inclusive workplace behaviors, and "consult with impacted staff before finalizing decisions."That guidance is now out.The departments new document for 20252028 lists "fidelity" as the first of five core precepts, followed by communication, leadership, management and knowledge. Under the new policy, mid- and senior-level Foreign Service Officers must demonstrate loyalty by "zealously executing U.S. government policy" and "resolving uncertainty on the side of fidelity to ones chain of command."DOGE HELPS STATE DEPARTMENT ELIMINATE BIDEN ADMIN'S DEI PERFORMANCE EVALUATION REQUIREMENTThe move comes amid a government-wide effort to eliminate DEI within federal agencies, and root out those who they believe to be working to undermine President Donald Trumps agenda.The State Department has also frozen the Foreign Service Officer Test (FSOT) typically administered three times a year as it moves to restructure and potentially downsize its workforce. In May, the department submitted a plan to Congress outlining a 15% reduction of its 19,000 employees and the consolidation of over 300 bureaus and agency offices.While a court order has temporarily paused mass layoffs across federal agencies, a recent Supreme Court ruling determined that nationwide injunctions issued by federal district courts "likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has granted."

Haiti's criminal gangs have exerted "near-total control" over the capital, as escalating violence pushes the Caribbean nation "closer to the brink," senior U.N. officials warned Wednesday.Gangs control an estimated 90% of Port-au-Prince, Ghada Fathy Waly, executive director of the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime, told the U.N. Security Council. Waly noted that gangs are expanding into previously peaceful areas."Southern Haiti, which until recently was insulated from the violence, has seen a sharp increase in gang-related incidents," she said. "And in the east, criminal groups are exploiting land routes, including key crossings like Belladere and Malpasse, where attacks against police and customs officials have been reported."U.N. Assistant Secretary-General Miroslav Jenca informed the council that "the ongoing gang encirclement of Port-au-Prince" and their strengthened foothold in the capital and beyond is "pushing the situation closer to the brink."FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS TRUMP'S IMMIGRATION POLICY IN SHOCKING DECISION ON HAITIAN PROTECTIONS"Without increased action by the international community, the totalcollapse of state presencein the capital could become a very real scenario," he warned.Gangs have gained power since President Jovenel Mose's assassination in July 2021, previously controlling 85% of the capital. Haiti has not had a president since the assassination.A new U.N. report covering last October through February highlights that gangs have exploited political turmoil and Haiti's disorganized security response, saying competing political ambitions and corruption allegations within transitional governing bodies have hindered action.BLACKWATER FOUNDER ERIK PRINCE TEAMS WITH HAITIAN GOVERNMENT TO FIGHT GANG VIOLENCE"While the expansion of territorial control brings gangs additional sources of revenue and bargaining power," the U.N. experts said in the report, "these attacks are also backed by individuals trying to destabilize the political transition for their own political goals."The U.S. State Department issued a travel advisory for Haiti in September 2024, warning Americans against visiting due to kidnapping, crime, civil unrest and limited healthcare.In May, the Trump administration designated two of Haitis most powerful gang networks, Viv Ansanm and Gran Grif, as foreign terrorist organizations and specially designated global terrorists.Fox News Digitals Jasmine Baehr and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

A recent pause in the U.S. sending Patriot missiles and ammunition to Ukraine is part of a wider, global review of military aid driven in part by the Pentagons China-leery policy chief, Elbridge Colby."Acapability review is being conducted to ensure U.S. military aid aligns with our defense priorities," Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell told reporters this week.That review is part of a plan championed by Colby to conserve U.S. resources that may be needed for war in the Indo-Pacific.Upon first news of the pause, Pentagon officials said it was due to concerns about the U.S.' stockpile of munitions, which came after the U.S. and Iran traded strikes on each other in the Middle East.PENTAGON'S WEAPONS PAUSE TO UKRAINE COULD ENCOURAGE AND ESCALATE PUTINS WAR AMBITIONS: SECURITY EXPERTSHowever, Parnell wrote on X that it was "flat out wrong" to suggest Colby caught other administration officials off-guard with the aid pause. Colby "routinely provides policy recommendations to the Secretary of Defense and the President," but they have the ultimate say, he said.A White House official confirmed to Fox News Digital they were "aware of the pause ahead of time.""The President and top officials expect the DOD to regularly review aid allocations to ensure they are in line with the America First agenda," the official said.Colby has long advocated for limiting resources in Europe and the Middle East in case they're needed in a war over Taiwan."What I have been trying to shoot a signal flare over is that it is vital for us to focus and enable our own forces for an effective and reasonable defense of Taiwan and for the Taiwanese, as well as the Japanese, to do more," Colby said during his confirmation hearing."A Europe first policy is not what America needs in this exceptionally dangerous time. We need to focus on China and Asia - clearly," he wrote on X. last year.The weapons put on pause, including missile interceptors and 155 mm ammunition shells, were already on their way to Ukraine, U.S. officials told Fox News.Since Russias 2022 invasion, the U.S. has provided Ukraine with nearly $66 billion in security assistance, the Pentagon noted."Part of our job is to give the president a framework that he can use to evaluate how many munitions we have and where were sending them," Parnell added. "We cant give weapons to everybody all around the world."Still, critics like former GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger claimed Colby had "blood on his hands" over the halt.Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., requested an "emergency briefing" from the White House and the Defense Department to "review our nations weapons and munitions stockpiles, and ensure the United States remains fully committed to providing Ukraine with the resources it urgently needs."PENTAGON HALTS SOME WEAPONS SHIPMENTS TO UKRAINE OVER CONCERNS ABOUT US STOCKPILESDan Caldwell, a former Pentagon official who worked with Colby on policy, defended his past colleague on X. "The incentives at DoD favor maintaining the status quo: Keep troops in Syria, keep sending weapons to Ukraine that we need for our defense, etc. That is why when patriots like@ElbridgeColby put the interests of their own country and own troops first, they are viciously smeared."Six months into President Donald Trumps second term, U.S. military prowess has largely focused back on the Middle East: an offensive campaign against the Houthis in Yemen, hitting Irans nuclear sites and boosting defenses in the region.Air Force Gen. Daniel Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said defending the Al-Udeid base from an Iranian counterattack was the largest Patriot missile salvo in history.Fox News' Jen Griffin contributed to this report.
