    Suspect arrested after alleged mid-flight bomb threat caused emergency landing
    A suspect who allegedly made a bomb threat on an Allegiant Air flight over the weekend was arrested Sunday afternoon and charged with false information and threats.Taj Malik Tayor, 27, of Largo, Florida, told another passenger on Allegiant Air flight 1023, headed to Roanoke, Virginia, that his laptop was a bomb, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office. The plane had taken off from St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE), and quickly returned to that airport after the alleged threat."The passenger immediately notified the flight attendants," the sheriff's office said. "Detectives say several other witnesses on the plane also heard Taylor state that he had a bomb."NAVY TECHNICIAN ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY MAKING FALSE BOMB THREAT ON HAWAIIAN AIRLINES FLIGHTAfter the plane landed, Pinellas County Sheriffs Office K9s searched Taylors belongings. They did not find a bomb.According to Pinellas County jail records, Taylor was booked just before 11:30 p.m. on Sunday night, and was released from custody about 11 hours later on Monday morning.The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has taken over the case, and provided an arrest affidavit for Taylor.BOMB THREAT GROUNDS SPIRIT AIRLINES FLIGHT AT DETROIT METRO AIRPORT: 'POTENTIAL SECURITY ISSUE'The affidavit says that Taylor, "knowing the information to be false, willfully and maliciously with reckless disregard for the safety of human life, gave, under circumstances in which the information may have reasonably believed, false information about an alleged attempt being made to do an act specifically, possession on or about the defendant's person an explosive device"According to the affidavit, Taylor told investigators that he made the comments after a passenger was rude to him, and said that he was recently released from a mental health facility. He said he had taken medication on Saturday, the day before the alleged threat, and was "suffering from a lack of clarity."Taylor appeared in court Monday morning, according to the FBI. It is unclear whether he has an attorney."Allegiant does not tolerate disruptive behavior of any kind, so the decision was made to return to the airport," the airline told Fox News Digital in a statement. "The plane landed safely and was met by law enforcement officers, who took the passenger into custody.""We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused our passengers and thank them for their patience. As a gesture of goodwill, we issued $100 vouchers to each itinerary, to be used for future travel."Fox News Digital reached out to Taylor.

    FBI launches criminal investigations of John Brennan, James Comey: DOJ sources
    EXCLUSIVE: Former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey are under criminal investigation for potential wrongdoing related to the TrumpRussia probe, including allegedly making false statements to Congress, Justice Department sources told Fox News Digital.CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred evidence of wrongdoing by Brennan to FBI Director Kash Patel for potential prosecution, DOJ sources told Fox News Digital.The sources said that the referral was received and told Fox News Digital that a criminal investigation into Brennan was opened and is underway. DOJ sources declined to provide further details. It is unclear, at this point, if the investigation spans beyond his alleged false statements to Congress.As for Comey, DOJ sources told Fox News Digital that an investigation into the former director is underway, but could not share details of what specifically is being probed.EX-OBAMA INTEL BOSS WANTED ANTI-TRUMP DOSSIER INCLUDED IN 'ATYPICAL' 2016 ASSESSMENT DESPITE PUSHBACKThe full scope of the criminal investigations into Brennan and Comey is unclear, but two sources described the FBI's view of the duo's interactions as a "conspiracy," which could open up a wide range of potential prosecutorial options.The FBI and CIA declined to comment.Neither Brennan nor Comey immediately responded to Fox News Digitals request for comment.The Brennan investigation comes after Ratcliffe last week declassified a "lessons learned" review of the creation of the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA). The 2017 ICA alleged Russia sought to influence the 2016 presidential election to help then-candidate Donald Trump. But the review found that the process of the ICA's creation was rushed with "procedural anomalies," and that officials diverted from intelligence standards.WHITE HOUSE WANTS OBAMA INTEL OFFICIALS 'HELD ACCOUNTABLE' FOR ROLE PEDDLING 2016 RUSSIA HOAXIt also determined that the "decision by agency heads to include the Steele Dossier in the ICA ran counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key judgment."The dossier an anti-Trump document filled with unverified and wholly inaccurate claims that was commissioned by Fusion GPS and paid for by Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign and the DNC has been widely discredited. Last week's review marks the first time career CIA officials have acknowledged politicization of the process by which the ICA was written, particularly by Obama-era political appointees.Records declassified as part of that review further revealed that Brennan did, in fact, push for the dossier to be included in the 2017 ICA.Brennan testified to the House Judiciary Committee in May 2023, however, that he did not believe the dossier should be included in that intelligence product.COMEY SAYS MCCABE LIED, CONFIRMS HE KICK-STARTED PROBE THAT LED TO HIS FIRINGRatcliffe was not surprised by the review's findings, a source familiar told Fox News Digital, given the director's long history of criticizing Brennan's politicization of intelligence. But Ratcliffe was compelled to refer aspects of Brennans involvement to the FBI for review of possible criminality, the source said.The source was unable to share the sensitive details of Ratcliffes criminal referral to the FBI with Fox News Digital, but said that Brennan "violated the publics trust and should be held accountable for it."The false statements portion of the probe stems from a newly declassified email sent to Brennan by the former deputy CIA director in December 2016. That message said that including the dossier in the ICA in any capacity jeopardized "the credibility of the entire paper."FISA REPORT DROPS: 7 TAKEAWAYS FROM DOJ WATCHDOG'S REVIEW OF RUSSIA PROBE"Despite these objections, Brennan showed a preference for narrative consistency over analytical soundness," the new CIA review states. "When confronted with specific flaws in the Dossier by the two mission center leaders one with extensive operational experience and the other with a strong analytic background he appeared more swayed by the Dossier's general conformity with existing theories than by legitimate tradecraft concerns."The review added: "Brennan ultimately formalized his position in writing, stating that my bottomline is that I believe that the information warrants inclusion in the report."But Brennan testified the opposite in front of Congress in May 2023."The CIA was very much opposed to having any reference or inclusion of the Steele dossier in the Intelligence Community Assessment," Brennan testified before the House committee, according to the transcript of his deposition reviewed by Fox News Digital. "And so they sent over a copy of the dossier to say that this was going to be separate from the rest of that assessment."FLASHBACK: NEWLY DECLASSIFIED INTEL DOCUMENT NOTED STEELE DOSSIER CLAIMS HAD 'LIMITED CORROBORATION'CIA officials at the time of its creation pushed back against the FBI, which sought to include the dossier, arguing that the dossier should not be included in the assessment, and casting it as simply "internet rumor."Ultimately, Steeles reporting was not included in the body of the final ICA prepared for then-President Barack Obama, but instead detailed in thisfootnote, "largely at the insistence of FBIs senior leadership," according to a review by the Justice Department inspector general, and later, the Senate Intelligence Committee.But back in June 2020, Ratcliffe, while serving as director of national intelligence, declassified a footnote of the 2017 ICA, which revealed that the reporting of Trump dossier author Christopher Steele had only "limited corroboration" regarding whether then-President-elect Trump"knowingly worked with Russian officials to bolster his chances of beating" Hillary Clinton and other claims.FLASHBACK: DNI DECLASSIFIES BRENNAN NOTES, CIA MEMO ON HILLARY CLINTON 'STIRRING UP' SCANDAL BETWEEN TRUMP, RUSSIAThe footnote, also known as "Annex A" of the 2017 ICA, exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital in June 2020, spanned less than two pages and detailed reporting by Steele, the former British spy who authored the unverified anti-Trump dossier a document that helped serveas the basis for controversial Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants obtained against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.Steeles reporting, at the time, was commissioned by opposition research firmFusion GPS and funded by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) through law firm Perkins Coie.The footnote made clear the internal concerns officials had over that document."An FBI source (Steele) using both identified and unidentified subsources, volunteered highly politically sensitive information from the summer to the fall of 2016 on Russian influence efforts aimed at the US presidential election," the annex read. "We have only limited corroboration of the sources reporting in this case and did not use it to reach the analytic conclusions of the CIA/FBI/NSA assessment.""The source collected this information on behalf of private clients and was not compensated for it by the FBI," it continued.But the annex notes that Steele's reporting was "not developed by the layered subsource network.""The FBI source caveated that,although similar to previously provided reporting in terms of content, the source was unable to vouch for the additional information's sourcing and accuracy," the annex states. "Hence this information is not included in this product."FBI IGNORED 'CLEAR WARNING SIGN' OF CLINTON-LED EFFORT TO 'MANIPULATE' BUREAU FOR 'POLITICAL PURPOSES'Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz also reviewed the inclusion of Steeles reporting in the ICA during his review of alleged misconduct related to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA.His report, released in late 2019, found that there were "significant inaccuracies and omissions" in FISA warrants for former Trump campaign aide Page. Those warrants relied heavily on Steeles reporting, despite the FBI not having had specific information corroborating allegations against Page that were included in Steeles reporting.Meanwhile, Fox News Digital exclusively reported in October 2020 that Brennan briefed former President Obama and administration officials on intelligence that then-Democrat nominee former Secretary of State Clinton was stirring up a plan to tie Trump to Russia.Ratcliffe, as director of national intelligence, declassified Brennans handwritten notes memorializing that meeting, which were exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital in October 2020.On July 28, 2016, Brennan briefedObama on a plan from one of Clinton's campaign foreign policy advisors "to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service."Comey, then-Vice President Joe Biden, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper were in the Brennan-Obama briefing.FLASHBACK: DECLASSIFIED TRUMP-RUSSIA PROBE DOCS TO DATE: WHAT TO KNOWAfter that briefing, the CIA properly forwarded that information through a Counterintelligence Operational Lead (CIOL) to Comey and then-Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok, with the subject line: "Crossfire Hurricane."Fox News Digital exclusively obtained and reported on the CIOL in October 2020, which stated: "The following information is provided for the exclusive use of your bureau for background investigative action or lead purposes as appropriate.""Per FBI verbal request, CIA provides the below examples of information the CROSSFIRE HURRICANE fusion cell has gleaned to date," the memo continued. "An exchange (REDACTED) discussing US presidential candidate Hillary Clintons approval of a plan concerning US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering US elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server."The FBI on July 31, 2016, opened a counterintelligence investigation into whether candidate Trump and members of his campaign were colluding or coordinating with Russia to influence the 2016 campaign.That investigation was referred to inside the bureau as "Crossfire Hurricane."Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller was appointed to take over the FBIs original "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation. After nearly two years, Muellers investigation, which concluded in March 2019, yielded no evidence of criminal conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian officials during the 2016 presidential election.Shortly after, John Durham was appointed as special counsel to investigate the origins of the "Crossfire Hurricane" probe.Durham found that the FBI "failed to act" on a "clear warning sign" that the bureau was the "target" of a Clinton-led effort to "manipulate or influence the law enforcement process for political purposes" ahead of the 2016 presidential election."The aforementioned facts reflect a rather startling and inexplicable failure to adequately consider and incorporate the Clinton Plan intelligence into the FBIs investigative decision-making in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation," Durhams report states."Indeed, had the FBI opened the Crossfire Hurricane investigation as an assessment and, in turn, gathered and analyzed data in concert with the information from the Clinton Plan intelligence, it is likely that the information received would have been examined, at a minimum, with a more critical eye," the report continued.Durham, in his report, said the FBI "failed to act on what should have beenwhen combined with other incontrovertible facts a clear warning sign that the FBI might then be the target of an effort to manipulate or influence the law enforcement process for political purposes during the 2016 presidential election."Meanwhile, the White House wants the Obama-era intelligence officials to be held accountable."President Trump was right again," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Those who engaged in this political scandal must be held accountable for the fraud they committed against President Trump and the lies they told to the American people."

    'Superman' director's brother says anti-immigrant MAGA people are 'against the American way'
    The brother of "Superman" director James Gunn, actor Sean Gunn, defended his sibling on Monday night following backlash to the directors recent political messaging about the film.Sean Gunn spoke to Variety from the red-carpet premiere of the latest "Superman" film, stating that anybody in America who is against immigrants is not for America."People who say no to immigrants are against the American way," he said.FIVE FOR FIGHTING REIMAGINES SUPERMAN IN POWERFUL TRIBUTE TO ISRAELI HOSTAGESSean Gunn, who plays Maxwell Lord in the upcoming superhero film, defended his brother after the director took heat for insisting his movie was political and that "Superman" is an immigrant in an interview with The Times that was published on Sunday."Superman is the story of America," James Gunn told the U.K. outlet. "An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me, it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost."The character, first introduced in 1938, was born from the imagination of writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster in Cleveland, Ohio. In the comics, Superman is the sole survivor of the planet Krypton, sent to Earth by his parents as their world faces destruction.James Gunn also said that the film will be "about politics" and "about morality." The filmmaker added that certain parts of the country will view it differently.ACTOR KNOCKS 'FANTASTIC 4' HERO AS 'WOMANIZING' GUY, SAYS HIS PORTRAYAL IN NEW FILM WILL BE DIFFERENT"Yes, it plays differently," he said. "Its about human kindness. And obviously, there will be jerks out there who are just not kind and will take it as offensive just because it is about kindness. But screw them."Gunns words come as there is strong opposition among liberals to President Donald Trumps efforts to deport millions of illegal immigrants.While on the red carpet, James Gunns brother Sean defended the director from "MAGA" people as Variety described them being critical of his recent pro-immigrant statements. Neither the interviewer, nor Gunn, made any distinction between legal or illegal immigrants."My reaction to [the backlash] is that it is exactly what the movie is about," Gunn said. "We support our people, you know? We love our immigrants. Yes, Superman is an immigrant, and yes, the people that we support in this country are immigrants and if you dont like that, youre not American."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREVariety also asked James Gunn about his interview comments while on the red carpet, though the filmmaker was less candid with his responses."I think this movie's for everybody. I don't have anything to say to anybody. Like, I'm not here to judge people," he said, adding, "I think this is a movie about kindness and I think thats something everyone can relate to."While at the premiere, actor Nathan Fillion was also asked about MAGA criticism of the filmmakers recent statement. Fillion, who plays the superhero Green Lantern in "Superman," gave a brief reply, "Aw, somebody needs a hug. Just a movie, guys. Its just a movie."Representatives for both Gunn brothers did not immediately reply to Fox News Digitals requests for comment.

    'Wall of water': Texan recounts catastrophic midnight flood surge that swept away 27 girls at Camp Mystic
    On a pitch-black night, locals just five miles upriver from Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas watched the ominous approach of a deadly flood wall, illuminated only by flashes of lightning, as it surged toward the all-girls Christian camp.More than 100 people lost their lives and nearly twice as many others went missing in the Hill Country surge that struck in the early hours of July Fourth. Camp Mystic confirmed 27 fatalities among its campers and counselors, as of Tuesday.33-year-old Shelby Willis told Fox News Digital she was visiting her in-laws' home on the Guadalupe River in Hunt, situated on one of the higher points on the South Fork."We were really high up, but there was water coming into the garage," Willis said. "At about 3 a.m., my sister-in-law said that we needed to go outside and look at the river, and we couldn't see it outside of the flashes of lightning. Hunt kind of prides itself on having low upward lighting so that you can see the stars. Only through the lightning flashes could we see how high the water was, which makes sense as to why it happened so fast."PARENTS DESPERATELY SEEKING ANSWERS ON MISSING CAMPERS AFTER TEXAS FLOODBy the time the family got to their back porch, the water was all the way up the cliffside."Not knowing at the time, that was the wall of water that was headed toward Mystic," she said. "You couldn't see our dam, you couldn't see any of the trees, even the tops of them that were down by the water. There were massive cypress trees folded over because the water was rushing so fast, and it was so high."The family stood watching the water rise, fearing it could take their home."It was loud, and there was a lot of thunder, but this is the night before the Fourth of July, at four in the morning," Willis said. "People were probably partying and having fun the night before, maybe sleeping a little extra hard because of it. We have neighbors that lost their lives and were found deceased in their beds because it all rose too fast, and they didn't wake up."She added another neighbor was saved after being woken up by a friend who heard water gushing through her window.YOUNG TEXAS CAMP SURVIVOR DESCRIBES HARROWING MOMENT SHE PREPARED FOR WORST DURING DEADLY FLOOD"Water was pouring into their living room, and within 45 minutes, it was already on the second floor," Willis said. "She got on her roof and then had to hop to the carport, and was just waving a flashlight. Luckily, someone next door was in their canoe, and praise God, pulled her off her roof and was able to get her out."The woman's home was completely submerged within an hour, Willis said. Nothing remains.Hours after the flood, locals reported seeing rescue helicopters and the American Red Cross arrive.Willis and her husband realized things were likely worse than they thought when he spotted Black Hawk helicopters above."We knew something was bad, and we didn't have cell phone service or internet," she said. "We have a Polaris Ranger vehicle, so we were able to get out on the main highway, and we could quickly see that cars wouldn't be able to drive. It was basically pieces of asphalt that looked like paper plates just thrown everywhere. There were chunks of them missing. The road to Mystic was completely destroyed. There was no highway, it was just dirt next to a river that had no trees anymore."REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN REUNITES WITH DAUGHTERS AFTER TEXAS CAMP FLOODING, THANKS COUNTLESS HEROESWillis, whose family was trapped until Saturday, described the scene as "unbelievable."Once the water receded, local residents used tractors and other farming machinery to pull trees out of the way and move dirt, so transportation was possible."We gathered boards to lay down on the asphalt to use as a ramp, because it was seven to eight inches, which would pop a tire if you just went directly onto it," Willis said. "That was the only way we were able to get out of Hunt. We couldn't go south, down toward Mystic and through Hunt. That's why so many more people were stuck."Still, Willis said locals were grateful for the amount of lives that were saved amid the disaster."It's kind of a consensus around the town that it's amazing they were able to get over 700 kids out in that amount of time," she said. "It's a camp director looking at alerts at 4 a.m., and deciding we need to get the suburban and go get these girls. In order, they started evacuating the cabins closest to the water. By then, they had loaded half of the cabin up in the suburban, and they were washed out. It just all happened too fast."They ran out of time. They had the protocol in place, but it was just unheard of, how fast all of this was."The couple eventually returned home to Boerne, Texas, which is north of San Antonio, but her husband, 35, later went back to help with recovery efforts.Something Willis said a lot of people might not realize is the stench left behind after a massive flood like the one that happened on the Guadalupe."When he went back, he said it was just an overwhelming smell," she said. "People were trying not to throw up because there's washed-up fish everywhere. He said it's vile, the smell. There's so much search and recovery going on, but the cleanup is going to be such a massive piece of this."CHRISTIAN GIRLS SUMMER CAMP DEVASTATED BY FLOODS HOLDS DECADES-LONG HISTORY WITH PRESIDENTS, TEXAS POLITICOSJust like many others who live in or frequent Hunt, Willis said she has faith the town will rebuild. However, she acknowledged it would be forever changed by the disaster."Hunt definitely prides itself on being a remote location. It is a very special little area on the Guadalupe River, but there's not a lot of cell service or signal, so I think that will change," she said. "I think improvements will be made so that this never happens again.""Everyone is like a family in that town," Willis added. "There wasn't a single property along the river in Hunt that wasn't flying a Texas flag. People are very, very resilient, and that's just kind of the Texas way. I know that it'll be built back, better and safer. Sometimes it takes tragedy to make you realize how vulnerable something is. No one's going to give up on this area, and I hope they don't give up on the camps either, because they really are formative for a lot of people."

    Angel Reese knocks clipboard out of Sky coach's hand as team implodes
    Chicago Sky star Angel Reese was seen knocking a clipboard out of the hands of one of her coaches during a loss to the Washington Mystics on Tuesday.With less than 30 seconds to go in the game, and both teams tied at 77, Reese walked off the court visibly upset during a timeout. When Reese passed by the team's vice president of strength and conditioning, Ann Crosby, Reese spontaneously slapped the clipboard out of Crosby's hand as Crosby appeared to try and show Reese something on it.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe clip garnered controversy and criticism from fans as it went viral on social media."Never disrespect your coaches," one user wrote.Another user wrote, "This is not good behavior."Other social media commenters used the clip as an opportunity to compare Reese to her former college rival and WNBA phenom, Caitlin Clark."Caitlin Clark would never," one person wrote.SPARKS' SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT TAKES SWIPE AT FEVER'S SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM OVER WNBA EXPANSION REMARKSAnother user wrote, "Gotta be a better role model. Caitlin Clark is a great example of one."After the Mystics took a 79-77 lead, Reese managed to tie the game by making two free-throws. But Washington's Shakira Austin responded and gave the Mystics the lead back with a pair of her own free-throws with just two seconds remaining. Washington went on to win 81-79.The loss wasted one of Reese's better performances of 2025, as she finished with 22 points, 15 rebounds and four assists.Still, the Sky fell to 5-13, and currently hold the second-worst record in the WNBA, just ahead of the 2-16 Connecticut Sun.Meanwhile, Clark's team, the Indiana Fever, are 9-9. Clark has missed 10 games this season, but is expected to return to her team on Wednesday for a game against the Golden State Valkyries.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Former NFL star Asante Samuel Sr unleashes on Dolphins, questions team's leadership after Jalen Ramsey trade
    Asante Samuel Sr. spent the majority of his NFL career with the New England Patriots. His son, Asante Samuel Jr., spent the first four years of his professional football career with the Los Angeles Chargers.The younger Samuel is currently listed as an NFL free agent. The Miami Dolphins recently sent three-time All-Pro defensive back Jalen Ramsey to the Pittsburgh Steelers and could be looking to bolster their cornerback room.But the elder Samuel's recent scathing comments on the state of the Dolphins franchise could put a damper on the possibility of his son landing in South Florida.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMFrom Samuel Sr.'s point of view, the Dolphins organization suffers from deficiencies from the top down. He shared his sentiments about the franchise during a recent appearance on his "Say What Needs To Be Said" podcast as he reacted to the trade that sent Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith to Pittsburgh.The Dolphins did acquire safety Minkah Fitzpatrick in exchange for Ramsey and Smith. Both teams also traded draft picks as part of the deal."The Dolphins had no reason to trade Jalen Ramsey other than theyre sensitive. There's no leadership in the Dolphins organization," Samuel asserted."[Head coach] Mike McDaniel is a pushover. Chris Grier, the general manager he has no backbone. These guys over here, the Miami Dolphins, they are running this team like a little league team. No one can stand up to the players. They are terrified of their own players, and they have no control over their players."The Sun Sentinel reported that Ramsey was tardy to team meetings and practice sessions on a routine basis during his tenure with the Dolphins. In 2023, the star cornerback also reportedly clashed with Vic Fangio the Dolphins defensive coordinator at the time.DOLPHINS ACQUIRE DARREN WALLER FROM GIANTS AFTER FORMER NFL STAR MAKES SURPRISE RETURN FROM RETIREMENT"He became a symbol of the Dolphins just collecting talent rather than building a team," the report from June stated. "Ramsey and Tyreek Hill were constantly late for practices or meetings in a manner that set the culture of last years Dolphins."While the Dolphins have had some regular-season success under McDaniel, he has yet to guide the team to a postseason victory.
