    House Republicans face mounting resistance as third ex-Biden WH aide pleads Fifth Amendment
    A top former Biden administration aide invoked the Fifth Amendment during her closed-door deposition with the House Oversight Committee on Friday, Fox News Digital was told.Annie Tomasini becomes the third Democratic ex-official to stonewall investigators looking into whether signs of former President Joe Biden's alleged mental decline were covered up by his inner circle.The former White House deputy chief of staff was seen entering and exiting the committee room in under an hour, saying nothing to reporters either time.A source familiar with the discussions told Fox News Digital that she invoked the Fifth Amendment multiple times, which likely is what led to the hasty meeting. Tomasini herself did not answer when Fox News Digital asked if she did so, however.COMER DISMISSES BIDEN DOCTOR'S BID FOR PAUSE IN COVER-UP PROBE: 'THROWING OUT EVERY EXCUSE'The source said Tomasini pleaded the Fifth when asked if Biden, a member of his family, or anyone at the White House instructed her to lie regarding his health at any time.She also pleaded the Fifth when asked if she ever advised Biden on the handling of classified documents found in his garage, if Biden or anyone in the White House instructed her to conceal or destroy classified materials found at the former president's home or office, and if she ever conspired with anyone in the White House to hide information regarding the Biden familys business dealings, the source said.Fox News Digital reached out to Tomasini's lawyers but did not immediately get a response.Comer confirmed she invoked the right against self-incrimination in a statement after the deposition, though he was not present in-person for the staff-led meeting."Today, the third witness in our investigation into the cover-up of President Bidens cognitive decline and unauthorized executive actions pleaded the Fifth Amendment. There is now a pattern of key Biden confidants seeking to shield themselves from criminal liability for this potential conspiracy," Comer told Fox News Digital."Its unbelievable that Ms. Tomasini and others refuse to answer basic questions about President Bidens fitness to serveThere needs to be transparency and accountability, and we will continue to pursue the truth and examine options to get the answers we need.Tomasini is the third ex-Biden administration official to come before committee investigators under subpoena, and the fifth to appear overall.She was meant to appear Friday for a voluntary transcribed interview, but a committee aide previously told Fox News Digital that Tomasini's lawyers had asked House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., to issue a subpoena specifically.Both prior officials who appeared under subpoena ex-White House physician Kevin O'Connor and Anthony Bernal, a longtime aide to ex-First Lady Jill Biden also invoked the Fifth Amendment.Comer is investigating allegations thatBiden's former top White House aidescovered up signs of his mental and physical decline while in office, and whether any executive actions were commissioned via autopen without the president's full knowledge. Biden allies have pushed back against those claims.FAR-LEFT FIREBRAND SAYS SHE 'NEVER HAD A CONCERN' ABOUT BIDEN'S MENTAL STATE AS HOUSE PROBE HEATS UPIn an interview with The New York Times on Thursday, Biden affirmed he "made every decision" on his own.But Republicans have repeatedly accused those who have pleaded the Fifth Amendment so far of intentionally hiding critical information about the former president, even as their attorneys argue it is not an admission of guilt.A source familiar with the Biden team's thinking called House Republicans' probe "dangerous" and "an attempt to smear and embarrass.""And their hope is for just one tiny inconsistency between witnesses to appear so that Trumps DOJ prosecute his political opponents and continue his campaign of revenge," the source said.Fox News Digital's Deirdre Heavey contributed to this report

    Study reveals primary cause of obesity and it's not lack of exercise
    Obesity among adults continues to be a major public health issue in the United States and other economically developed countries, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO)."It's a mix of poor diet, high stress levels, lack of muscle and lack of frequent movement," Lindsay Allen, a registered dietitian nutritionist and owner of Back in Balance Nutrition in Florida, told Fox News Digital.While both overeating and lack of exercise are often to blame, a new global study suggests that one factor far outweighs the other.YOUR DNA COULD BE STOPPING YOU FROM LOSING WEIGHT, NEW STUDY SUGGESTSScientists studied more than 4,000 adults from 34 populations, ranging from hunter-gatherer communities to office workers.They analyzed each persons total energy expenditure (TEE), which is the number of calories burned daily, along with body fat percentage and BMI (body mass index).When adjusted for body size, people across all lifestyles and income levels burned similar amounts of energy, even if their daily routines were drastically different."The differences in body fat that we see across populations likely aren't due to major differences in activity level or total daily energy burned," study authors Amanda McGrosky (from Elon University in North Carolina) and Amy Luke (Loyola University in Illinois) told Fox News Digital."Rather, excess body fat islikelyprimarily the product of too many 'calories in,' or eating more calories than are burned."SCIENTISTS MAY HAVE DISCOVERED WHY THE POUNDS COME BACK AFTER LOSING WEIGHTPeople in more economically developed areas burned more calories, the researchers noted but thats primarily because they tend to weigh more, and heavier bodies naturally burn more energy.Published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the study concluded that how much people eat plays a far greater role than the amount of exercise when it comes to putting on weight."Our analyses suggest that increased energy intake has been roughly 10 times more important than declining activity rates in driving the modern obesity crisis," the authors stated.Dr. Brett Osborn, a Florida neurosurgeon and longevity expert, agrees with the adage that "you cant out-train a bad diet.""Exercise burns far fewer calories than people want to believe," Osborn, who was not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital."This latest data only confirms what Ive seen in my clinic: Were not gaining weight because we stopped moving. Were gaining because were overfed."Allen pointed out that muscle mass should also be considered."Having sufficient muscle is what drastically improves metabolism and fat-burning capabilities," she told Fox News Digital, also emphasizing the importance of stress levels. "Peoplewho live in high-stress societies tend to be fatter because stress hormones change our metabolism and shift us into 'survival mode.'"SCIENTISTS CAN DETECT JUNK FOOD CONSUMPTION IN BLOOD AND URINE TESTSAnother finding involves ultraprocessed foods (UPFs), which have long ingredient lists that are often calorie-dense, shelf-stable and "highly palatable.""As more populations are exposed to increasing amounts of highly processed, highly palatable foods, we will likely see increases in obesity in regions with relatively low rates currently," the study authors predicted.Ultraprocessed foods tend to be easier to overeat due to their flavor and texture, and they also don't keep people feeling full, the study found.They are also more calorie-dense, meaning they pack more energy into smaller volumes, and are more easily absorbed, making it harder for the body to eliminate excess energy."Ultraprocessed foods are engineered to override our biology, namely our satiety signaling in the brain," Osborn told Fox News Digital. "They also promote inflammation and shift our physiology to a state that favors fat accumulation over fat burning."The researchers pointed out that physical activity is still important, particularly for cardiovascular health, mental well-being and longevity.Allen noted that people "need to consider all the other benefits of exercise and shift the mindset away from how many calories they are burning (which actually doesn't work very well for weight loss) toward building as much strength and muscle as they can."Osborn agreed, recommending "progressively intense and challenging workouts" strength training in particular to help boost the metabolic rate and facilitate fat-burning."As I always say to my patients, "By virtue of proper nutrition and strength training, your body will not only burn fat, but it will also burn fat fast."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERHowever, Allen noted, when it comes to preventing obesity, the findings point to excess calorie consumption particularly ultraprocessed foods as the major contributing factor."If youre worried about excess body fat, focus on calories in," McGrosky and Luke advised. "Especially over the long term, its much harder to meaningfully change the total number of calories you burn than it is to change the number of calories you take in."For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthOsborn added that the problem isntlaziness or lack of movement."Its the constant stream of ultraprocessed, nutrient-void products being shoveled into mouths under the guise of health or convenience," he said. "And its killing us slowly, predictably and en masse."

They want what makes us attractive, which is, you have a bunch of idiots just trying to get along in the world, make people laugh."Looking ahead, Portnoy said hes excited about what the partnership will bring for both fan bases."Its a totally new chapter for us," he said. "Weve never partnered with a network as big, as many resources, as much talent as FOX Sports that is invested in us.""Theyre as excited about it as we are," he added.

    Trump directs AG Bondi to work on unsealing grand jury transcripts in Epstein case: 'We are ready'
    President Donald Trump late Thursday directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to work on releasing grand jury transcripts in the case of Jeffrey Epstein.It's unclear exactly when any testimony may go public. The Justice Department is expected to file Friday asking a judge to unseal transcripts.The order came after a barrage of criticism against the Trump administration following the release of a joint DOJ-FBI memo that concluded there was no evidence that the disgraced financier had blackmailed powerful people, kept a client list or was killed while in jail.The memo has created deep fissures among Trump supporters who have complained of a lack of transparency from the administration. A source told Fox News Digital that FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino had been considering resigning over the matter, though he has not stated anything publicly.The president, meanwhile, has pushed back at the criticism, calling the charges a "hoax" and contending that his supporters are being "duped" by Democrats. Trump posted to Truth Social on Friday morning, "If there was a smoking gun on Epstein, why didnt the Dems, who controlled the files for four years, and had [then-Attorney General Merrick Garland] and [then-FBI Director James Comey] in charge, use it? BECAUSE THEY HAD NOTHING!!!"BONDI SHOULD RELEASE 'CREDIBLE' EPSTEIN FILES, TRUMP SAYSDOJ BRASS VOWED FULL TRANSPARENCY ON EPSTEIN BEFORE TURNING UP EMPTY-HANDEDBefore joining the Trump administration, Bondi was among the staunchest advocates for releasing the Epstein list, telling Fox News Sean Hannity in 2024: "It should have come out a long time ago."The Justice Department released a new batch of Epstein files in February, but the documents revealed no new revelations in the case. Many of the documents had already been released during the federal criminal trial of Epstein's associate, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.MAGA WORLD ERUPTS OVER TRUMP'S DEFENSE OF BONDI AMID EPSTEIN FILES FALLOUTTrump has defended Bondi over the latest fallout, telling reporters earlier this week: "Shes handled it very well, and its going to be up to her, whatever she thinks is credible she should release."On Thursday, Trump said he had directed Bondi to release all "pertinent" transcripts on the case. "Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Testimony, subject to Court approval," Trump wrote on Truth Social late Thursday. "This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!"Bondi said her team was "ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts."Epstein, a 66-year-old millionaire financier with a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, died in federal custody in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.Fox News Digitals Rachel Wolf and Ashley Oliver contributed to this report.

    Veterans cross border for forbidden psychedelic treatment that's changing lives after combat
    As desperate veterans crossed into Mexico to try a promising psychedelic drug, a battle over the same substance raged on in Texas.Ibogaine a plant-based extract that originates from the African iboga shrub is a psychedelic drug and has been championed by a coalition of military heroes who swear by its benefits.For the last few years, veterans have been traveling south of the border to try the drug for PTSD and traumatic brain injury treatment and have returned with remarkable stories of healing but, here in the U.S., the drug can neither be bought nor taken.In fact, even studying it poses a challenge, but Texas sought to change that with a bill to make the Lone Star State the international leader in ibogaine research."There is obviously a medical use for this. We sent 1,000 warfighters down to Mexico to be treated, and we know how they're coming back and how they're healed," former Texas Gov. Rick Perry said in the Fox Nation exclusive "Ibogaine: The Fight of a Lifetime," hosted by Fox News' Will Cain.MIKE TYSON URGES TRUMP TO DELIVER ON CANNABIS REFORM AFTER BIDEN'S 'FAILED' PLEDGEThe longest-serving governor in Lone Star State history is one of several personalities featured in the special, which debuted on the streaming platform this Thursday and explores the fight to open up a clinical investigation into the schedule I substance in Texas.Schedule I, as classified under the Controlled Substances Act signed by President Richard Nixon in the early 1970s, means the substance serves no medical purpose and is addictive in nature.Perry says ibogaine is neither of those and is instead crucial for saving the lives of veterans with invisible wounds."Six years ago, if you had told me that Rick Perry and psychedelics were going to be in the same sentence, I would have went, I don't think so,'" he said.SINGLE DOSE OF 'MAGIC MUSHROOMS' PROVIDES 5 YEARS OF DEPRESSION RELIEF, RESEARCHERS FINDYet Americans for Ibogaine CEO Bryan Hubbard says Perry has become instrumental in blazing the path forward for the drug, particularly among skeptics who need a familiar, trustworthy voice in its corner."The scientists, the doctors, the PhDs, the technicians that have worked on this and their data is what sold me," Perry continued."After I looked at the data, and I talked to the veterans who had been down [to Mexico] to be treated, I said, We need to do this.'"Others, including those who have benefited firsthand, agree with the sentiment.Marine veterans Gary Hess, Jon Stevens and Tyler Kotulka, Navy veteran Chris Fettes and others who suffered from PTSD, concussions, TBIs and other traumatic injuries, share their stories in the episode, detailing the battles warfighters face at home. PSYCHEDELICS AS POTENTIAL MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT ARE EXPLORED BY TRUMP ADMINISTRATIONRetired Navy SEAL Marcus Capone, who served six tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, and his wife Amber, addressed Texas lawmakers to plead their case for opening up research.Together, the couple founded VETS, helping veterans access safe, clinically-guided psychedelic therapies. While seated in a chapel and mourning after one of her best friend's husbands took his own life, Amber reached an epiphany."We had been there for so many war funerals, and this just felt different, and it became clear to me that, if we didn't find the courage to speak out, we would be in this chapel for a slew of funerals in the years to come," she shared in the Fox Nation special.Evidence pointing to ibogaine's medicinal value would mean its current scheduling is inaccurate, but getting the drug's scheduling changed poses another challenge."The problem is, you can't approve a schedule I drug while it's [still] schedule I," explained Dr. Nolan Williams, a researcher at Stanford Medicine. He says the substance has been recognized as a therapeutic for more than 100 years, but hangups still surround it today.CLICK HERE TO JOIN FOX NATIONTexas Gov. Greg Abbott expanded ibogaine research opportunities earlier this year by signing Senate Bill 2308, which covers the same core policy as HB 3717."Texas is home to more veterans than any other state," Abbott said, per a press release from his office."Many of those veterans suffer from injuries both seen and unseen. A therapy that has shown great promise in treating those conditions is ibogaine. This law authorizes a Food and Drug Administration approved clinical drug trial that will seek approval of ibogaine as a medication for the treatment of opioid use disorder and other behavioral health conditions, especially those suffered by our veterans. Texas will now lead the way in America for the evaluation of ibogaine as a potential medication that can help improve the lives of so many veterans."To hear testimonials and stories from those who have benefited from and fought for ibogaine research, subscribe to Fox Nation and begin streaming today.

    Liberals, journalists, and celebs extremely sad over late-night ally Colbert getting the boot from CBS
    Prominent liberals and celebrities are mourning the news that CBS will end "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" next year.Host Stephen Colbert announced Thursday he had just learned that CBS was axing the show next spring.The hosts announcement was met with boos from the in-studio audience, as well as displeasure from his liberal fans online. Under Colbert since he took over in 2015, the show had become a reliable destination for progressive views, anti-Republican talking points and friendly Democratic interviews."Snow White" actress Rachel Zegler commented on his Instagram video sharing the news, stating, "I am extremely sad. I adore you, Stephen."LATE-NIGHT LINEUPS FOR FIRST HALF OF 2025 FEATURE OVERWHELMINGLY LEFT-LEANING GUESTS, STUDY SHOWSCBS said the show, which has been on the air since 1993, will end in May 2026. It clarified that the move was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night," adding, "It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount," CBS parent company.The shows cancellation follows the network and its parent companys settlement with President Donald Trump earlier this month after he sued both for "election interference" over a"60 Minutes" interview edit of his 2024 opponent, then-Vice President Kamala Harris.Colbert was among the critical voices at the network of Paramount's settlement, which he and others portrayed as a cowardly surrender.On "CBS Mornings," host Gayle King called the news a "kick in the stomach," and fellow host Nate Burleson called it a "hard pill to swallow.""Severance" actor Adam Scott lamented the cancellation, posting, "Love you Stephen. This is absolute bulls--- and I for one am looking forward to the next 10 months of shows."Actor Ben Stiller posted on X, "Sorry to hear @CBS is canceling one of the best shows they have. Wishing all the people who work so hard on that show all the best."CBS STAFFERS REVOLT OVER PARAMOUNT'S 'SHAMEFUL' TRUMP SETTLEMENT, 'BETRAYAL' TO THE NETWORK'S JOURNALISTSLongtime journalist Katie Couric commented, "I am so upset about this. I need more information. We love you, @stephenathome."Ex-CNN reporter Jim Acosta was skeptical of CBS saying it canceled Colbert as a "financial decision," commenting on the story with a GIF of Marsha from The Brady Bunch sarcastically saying, "Sure, Jan." However, his former colleague Brian Stelter reported late Thursday that a CBS source said Colbert's program was "bleeding red ink."LATE-NIGHT DNCTV? COLBERT, KIMMEL FUNDRAISE FOR PRESIDENT BIDENSen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., shared a post to X suggesting that people investigate why Colbert is being canceled."CBS canceled Colberts show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message."Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who was a guest on the show Thursday night, reacted similarly, writing, "Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled. If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"Love you Stephen. F--- you and all your Sheldons CBS," fellow late-night host Jimmy Kimmel posted on Instagram, mocking the networks "Big Bang Theory" spinoff, "Young Sheldon."Former CNN anchor John Avlon wrote on X, "For @CBS to cancel @colbertlateshow is complete malpractice. The brand is strong, storied and irreplaceable. And no host is funnier and more thoughtful - soulful - than @StephenAtHome. Thats why he is loved by a loyal audience, and they will follow him to whatever he does next."On Bluesky, the left-wing alternative to X, progressives fumed en masse at the cancellation news."I'm not crazy for thinking that this was related to Colbert criticizing the network, am I?" far-left journalist Jemele Hill wrote.Ex-NBC reporter Ben Collins, who now runs the satirical site The Onion, said Colbert would land on his feet but "they are just torching the Late Show, an institution, solely to appease a dictator. And that f---ing sucks."During a CNN segment on Thursday, Stelter called the cancellation a "total gut punch to Late Show staffers and for a lot of Colbert fans out there. There are millions of those fans."Though Stelter acknowledged CBS financial reason for the cancellation, he said people are still going to speculate about possible political reasons for why the show was canceled."I think everybody is looking at this and wondering if CBS is succumbing to political pressure, because we know that the parent company has been desperate to get its merger approved by the Trump administration," he said.

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has ripped a federal judge in Washington for releasing a transgender illegal migrant from detention, saying the release was caused by the judge bowing to activist pressure.DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said that U.S. District Court Judge Amy Baggio, a President Joe Biden appointee, ignored the rule of law and promoted "gender ideology fanaticism" by releasing the migrant, a transgender woman who is claiming asylum in the U.S.The migrant, identified by DHS as "Odalis Jhonatan Martinez-Velasquez, a male illegal alien from Mexico," entered the country in 2023 and was released under the Biden administration.JUDGE ORDERS RELEASE OF MIGRANT TRANS WOMAN HELD IN MALE SECTION OF ICE FACILITYMartinez-Velasquez was detained on June 2 and placed into ICEs male detention center for the safety of women in ICE custody in accordance with President Donald Trump's executive order aimed at protecting women, DHS said.Baggio ordered Martinez-Velasquez released this week, despite having already been processed for expedited removal, ruling that the asylum seeker had been deprived of liberty without proper procedural safeguards."The activist judge is ignoring the biological reality of sex, undermining ICEs commitment to promoting safe, secure, and humane environments for women in custody, and subverting the American peoples mandate to restore commonsense to our immigration system and reject extreme gender fanaticism,"McLaughlin said."An immigration judge, not a district judge, has the authority to decide if Odalis Jhonatan Martinez-Velasquez should be released or detained."On his first day back in office, President Donald J. Trump signed Executive Order of Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government, which prohibits DHS from detaining males in womens detention centers.McLaughlin said Martinez-Velasquez is no exception.TWICE-DEPORTED MIGRANT RAPIST FREED AS DEMS FACE HEAT FOR SANCTUARY POLICIES"The President made it clear on Day One: DHS will not buy into radical gender ideology when detaining illegal aliens,"McLaughlin said.Martinez-Velasquez is claiming asylum after allegedly being abducted and raped by cartel membersin Mexico.The migrant was arrested outside a Portland courtroom last month and transferred to the Northwest ICE Processing Center inTacoma, Washington.and held there for over 40 days after a judge granted the governments request to dismiss the asylum case.The nonprofit Innovation Law Lab, whose attorneys represent Martinez-Velasquez, decried the fact that Martinez-Velasquez was being held at a mens facility.Martinez-Velasquez attorneysfiled a habeas petition, a legal motion asking the court to review whether the detention was lawful, saying they were not aware of their clients location after the migrant was taken into custody.Under due process standards, especially in asylum cases, attorneys must be able to locate their client and ICE is required to notify or justify sudden detentions and transfers.In Martinez-Velasquezs case, the judge found that ICEs failure to provide timely, specific information about the migrants location and legal status violated fundamental procedural fairness.The judge had also demanded to know why it was deemed immediately necessary.One of the migrants attorneys, Stephen Manning, of Immigrant Law Group, previously toldOPBthat Martinez-Velasquez was processed into the Tacoma detention center, but he had not been granted access to her since her transfer. Martinez-Velasquez was identified only as "O-J-M" in court documents."They threatened to kill her because O-J-M is a transgender woman," her habeas petition states, per OPB. "Fearing for her life, she fled and sought asylum in the United States in September 2023," Manning said.Manning toldWillamette Weeklythat his client had not committed a crime while in the U.S. and had regularly checked in at ICE offices as instructed.Oregon sanctuary laws prevent it from having long-term immigration detention facilities, and aside from temporary holding cells at the Portland ICE office the nearestimmigration detentioncenter is the Tacoma facility.
