One of the three men convicted in the mysterious death of a Kentucky mother of five is asking a judge for a new trial.Joseph Lawson was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder and tampering with physical evidence in the death of 35-year-old Crystal Rogers in Bardstown, according to Fox 56.Lawson was tried alongside Rogers boyfriend, Brooks Houck.'DOOMSDAY MOM' LORI VALLOW SEEKS NEW MURDER CONSPIRACY TRIAL, CLAIMING JUROR MISCONDUCTLawsons lawyers argued in a new motion made public Wednesday that their client should not have been tried alongside Houck, citing recorded statements made by Houck to investigators that were presented during the trial, WDRB reported."The overwhelming amount of evidence presented at trial was not otherwise admissible in [Lawson's] trial and clearly had a spillover effect," the appeal reportedly said, adding that Lawson was denied "his right to have a fair determination of his culpability free from the taint of having been tried jointly with Brooks Houck."The attorneys reportedly claimed that, given the fact Houck did not testify during the trial, Lawson had no way to defend himself against the statements presented to the jury.ALEX MURDAUGH'S DEFENSE ATTORNEY EXPLAINS WHY HE THINKS THE DISGRACED LAWYER IS INNOCENT, WILL GET A NEW TRIALEarlier this month, a jury found the two men guilty of murdering Rogers, who was last seen during Fourth of July weekend in 2015 with Houck. Police later found Rogers maroon Chevy Impala abandoned with a flat tire along Bluegrass Parkway, with her purse, wallet and keys inside.Her body was never found.The jury in Houck and Lawsons trial recommended maximum sentences for both men, consisting of life in prison plus five years for Houck and 25 years for Lawson, WDRB reported.

Annie Tomasini, former assistant to President Joe Biden and former deputy chief of staff, is the latest Biden aide subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee, as Republicans investigate the alleged cover-up of the former president's cognitive decline and the potentially unauthorized use of the autopen for pardons and executive actions.Tomasini's counsel requested that House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., issue a subpoena for her scheduled appearance before the staff-led hearing this Friday.Her former colleague, Anthony Bernal, the former chief of staff to former first lady Jill Biden, was hit with his own subpoena for a closed-door deposition on Wednesday after skipping his scheduled interview when the White House waived executive privilege.Bernal's scheduled sit-down came and went quickly, however. Bernal apparently pleaded the Fifth Amendment to the questions asked by House staffers, a source familiar told Fox News Digital.JILL BIDEN 'WORK HUSBAND' PLEADS FIFTH AMENDMENT, DODGES HOUSE GOP COVER-UP PROBE QUESTIONSCNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios political correspondent Alex Thompson revealed in their book, "Original Sin," that Tomasini and Bernal "loaded a written Q&A into a prompter ahead of a local interview a document that the campaign had used in prep with Biden."HOUSE GOP SUBPOENAS BIDEN AIDE TO TESTIFY ABOUT FORMER PRESIDENT'S CONCERNING MENTAL FITNESSTomasini and Bernal brought out the teleprompter as his aides were trying to soften his blunders as Biden struggled to stay on message, according to the book. But the teleprompter fiasco became an easy attack line throughout Biden's re-election campaign, as President Donald Trump "weaved" through his myriad unscripted moments.The book described how Tomasini and Bernal grew closer to Biden during the pandemic, eventually becoming Joe and Jill Biden's most trusted aides.Tapper and Thompson describe the "intensely loyal" duo Tomasini and Bernal as taking on an "older-brother-and-little-sister vibe" among Biden's inner circle.Bernal and Tomasini later took on some of the residence staffers' roles in the White House. Tapper and Thompson said the aides "had all-time access to the living quarters, with their White House badges reading Res uncommon for such aides.""The significance of Bernal and Tomasini is the degree to which their rise in the Biden White House signaled the success of people whose allegiance was to the Biden family not to the presidency, not to the American people, not to the country, but to the Biden theology," the authors wrote.Fox News Digital reported in 2023 that Tomasini was among nearly a dozen Biden aides and Cabinet members to have extensive ties to Hunter Biden, who was accused by Republicans of selling access to his father, dating back over a decade.The analysis revealed the extent of Hunter's potential reach in the White House ahead of the embattled first son's felony gun charges and subsequent pardon by his father in the final days of Biden's presidency.Tomasini was in frequent communication with Hunter, referred to him as her "brother" and often ended her emails with "LY" for "love you," according to emails dating from 2010 to 2016.Then-vice president Biden publicly announced on Dec. 20, 2010, that Tomasini was stepping down to take a position with Harvard University, and Tomasini kept Hunter clued in on the details of that position before she took it, according to emails. The month prior, on Nov. 19, 2010, she forwarded information to Hunter about Harvards employee benefits and added, "Thanks.""Hey I looked at benefits And they look pretty amazing. Any word on comp?" Hunter responded on Nov. 23, 2010."I'll keep you posted. Thanks for looking at all the background Hunt," Tomasini replied.Tomasini was offered the job on Nov. 30, 2010, writing to Hunter, "Director of intergovernmental relations. > 120k ish may be a little higher."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPShe later thanked him and said she was going to tell his father the news. Months later, Hunter gave a speech at Harvard, but not before running the draft by Tomasini first.A source familiar with the Biden team's thinking told Fox News Digital that Trump would stop at nothing to exact retribution, calling the investigations into Biden's autopen use conspiratorial claims that attempt to slander a political opponent and undo valid presidential actions."As an extension of this political gamesmanship, Congressional Republicans are following their leader and following suit by dragging public servants up to the Hill," the source said, calling the "dangerous" probe an "attempt to smear and embarrass" and a "partisan, coordinated effort."They said Trump's Department of Justice is "not normal" and "these times are not normal," so this investigation will "be no different."Fox News' Greg Wehner, Jessica Chasmar, Cameron Cawthorne and Elizabeth Elkind contributed to this report.

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani told business leaders during a closed-door meeting this week that he would not use the slogan "Globalize the Intifada" and would discourage others from using it moving forward, Fox News has confirmed.After months of refusing to condemn the anti-Israel rallying cry, which, according to the American Jewish Committee, "calls for people from around the globe to participate in rising up against Israel," Mamdani told more than 140 business leaders that a conversation with a Jewish woman about how this phrase triggers memories of terrible incidents changed his mind.The New York Times first reported Mamdani's comments on Tuesday following his meeting with business leaders at the Partnership for New York City at the offices of Tishman Speyer in Rockefeller Center.Down in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, at another closed-door meeting hosted by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., about how to run a successful digital campaign, condemnation of the phrase was absent from conversations among national Democratic leaders who attended.'GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA' PHRASE STIRS TENSIONS ON NYC CAMPAIGN TRAIL AS MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT RAGESWhen asked by Fox News if there was a discussion about Mamdani's new discouragement of the phrase, Ocasio-Cortez said, "No, that did not come up."Several Democratic lawmakers confirmed Mamdani didn't share specifics about his radical policy agenda for New York City, but instead shared his insights on running an effective digital campaign with a focus on affordability.'EXISTENTIAL THREAT': JEWISH LEADERS WARN OF NYC 'MASS EXODUS' IF ZOHRAN MAMDANI WINS IN NOVEMBERA visibly frustrated Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., told Fox News' Aishah Hasnie that Mamdani "didn't even talk about" the phrase during the breakfast. "I'll have that discussion with him later, but it didn't come up. But I mean, I know a whole lot of people that care deeply about Israel that also are very worried about watching children die of starvation," she said.Reps. Andr Carson, D-Ill., and Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., also confirmed the topic did not come up.The slogan "Globalize the Intifada" has stirred up tension within the Democratic Party since Mamdani was asked by The Bulwark podcast host Tim Miller if the phrase made him uncomfortable. Mamdani said he doesn't support the policing or banning of language when repeatedly asked by journalists if he would condemn the phrase.Unsurprisingly, his competitor in the mayoral race, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, joined the chorus of Jewish advocates and coalitions who criticized Mamdani's refusal to condemn the phrase."That is not only wrong, it is dangerous," Cuomo said in a statement soon after the viral clip. "There are no two sides here," he added.But as Mamdani walks back his position on others using the phrasepopular among the pro-Palestine protests that have erupted at Columbia University and other college campuses as Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza rages onnational Democrats have begun to weigh in on the controversial slogan.Ocasio-Cortez, an early endorser of Mamdani's campaign, told Fox News' Chad Pergram on Wednesday that Mamdani shared critical insights about how to "level up all of our games in terms of technique" during the "Communication and Organizing Skillshare Breakfast" in Washington on Wednesday.While several national Democratic leaders have come out in support of Mamdaniincluding Rep. Adriano Espaillat, who backed Cuomo in the Democratic primaryoutstanding skeptics have not endorsed the 33-year-old candidate.House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., have confirmed plans to meet with Mamdani in New York City later this week, but both top Democrats have yet to formally endorse the self-described Democratic socialist.Ocasio-Cortez also urged those with outstanding questions about Mamdani to "get to know him" before "making assessments from what you may see on television." She applauded her caucus for "showing up in good faith" on Wednesday to give him a fair chance and demonstrating a "willingness to listen and make assessments for themselves."Mamdani's campaign did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for additional comment.Fox News' Olivia Patel, Bryan Llenas, Tyler Olson, Chad Pergram and Aishah Hasnie contributed to this report.

EXCLUSIVE: ASTORIA, N.Y. - New York City's Democratic mayoral nominee, Zohran Mamdani, refused to respond to questions from Fox News Digital about critics calling him a communist and whether he plans to walk back any of his far-left statements.Outside his Queens apartment on Friday morning, Mamdani laughed off the questions and did not answer, despite mounting scrutiny as the mayor's race between himself, Mayor Eric Adams, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa heat up."Do you have any response to those who label you a communist?" Fox News Digital asked Mamdani. "Do you plan on walking back any statements when you meet with [House] leader Jeffries like seizing the means of production?"Mamdani repeatedly laughed, but did not answer the questions.MAMDANI'S FATHER SITS ON COUNCIL OF ANTI-ISRAEL GROUP TIED TO TERROR, LEGITIMIZES ROLE OF SUICIDE BOMBERSPresident Donald Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr., are among the voices that have labeled Mamdani a "communist," and many have labeled him a socialist."Its finally happened, the Democrats have crossed the line. Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor. Weve had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous," Trump posted to Truth Social."He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, hes not very smart, hes got AOC+3, Dummies ALL, backing him, and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin Chuck Schumer, is groveling over him. Yes, this is a big moment in the History of our Country!"In an interview with Fox News Digital, Trump Jr. echoed a similar sentiment, saying it could be the "greatest marketing campaign for Florida," which has become a haven for ex-New Yorkers and is currently led by conservatives.UNEARTHED SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS EXPOSE RADICAL ANTI-ISRAEL VIEWS OF MAMDANI'S DAD: 'COLONIAL OCCUPATION'"But what happens to New York then? And as a lifelong New Yorker, as someone who grew up here, someone who changed the skyline here with my father for many years before he got into politics, that's a scary notion, but perhaps it's exactly what America needs. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom, and I think if this communist mayor gets elected, rock bottom is what New York's going to see," Trump Jr. said.New York City Mayor Eric Adams also pointed out Mamdanis past comments, including a 2020 tweet in which Mamdani stated "Each according to their need, each according to their ability" in May 2020."- Karl Marx Author of the The Communist Manifesto," Adams, a former Democrat, replied on July 7.A past clip of him circulating on social media has also come under fire for his comments on housing."My platform is that every single person should have housing, and I think faced with these two options, the system has hundreds of thousands of people unhoused, right? For what?" Mamdani questioned in a resurfaced video that has circulated on social media.MAMDANI'S FAILURE TO WALK BACK THESE POSITIONS COULD CAUSE RECKONING IN DEMOCRATIC PARTY: 'FIVE-ALARM WARNING'"If there was any system that could guarantee each person housing, whether you call it the abolition of private property or you call it, you know, just a statewide housing guarantee, it is preferable to what is going on right now," Mamdani added.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"He claims to be a socialist, whether it's wanting to abolish private property or wanting to seize the means of production, these are communist ideas right out of the playbook of Karl Marx," Rep.

The Biden-Harris administration is accused of misusing taxpayer dollars to fund protests in Israel against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prior to Oct. 7.The House Judiciary Committee recently released a memo outlining the allegations and showing a possible money trail."The Committees oversight has revealed that the Biden-Harris Administration provided grant funds to groups that contributed directly and indirectly to the judicial reform protests that sought to undermine the Israeli government," the committee wrote in the memo.NETANYAHU EXPLAINS HOW HIS PARTNERSHIP WITH TRUMP IS DIFFERENT THAN PAST PRESIDENTSNetanyahu shared one of the charts from the memo on his X account and decried the "massive foreign intervention in an attempt to replace the right-wing government in Israel.""An official document published by the U.S. Congress reveals astonishing information that confirms what many have long suspected: the previous U.S. administration transferred nearly a billion dollars to left-wing NGOs in Israel, with the aim of undermining the rule of the government," Netanyahu wrote in Hebrew.APP USERS CLICK HERE TO READ THE MEMOIn March, the House Judiciary Committee and the Committee on Foreign Affairs sent letters to six American and Israeli NGOs asking for "documents related to any grants, cooperative agreements, or other awards received from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) or State Department." According to the Judiciary Committees memo, the organizations have produced a total of 380 documents so far.The six NGOs were Blue White Future (BWF), Movement for Quality Government in Israel (MQG), PEF Israel Endowment Funds, Jewish Communal Fund (JCF), Middle East Peace Dialogue Network (MEPDN) and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.OFFICIALS IN BIDEN ADMIN WORKED TO UNDERMINE NETANYAHU AFTER CEASEFIRE TALKS COLLAPSED, FORMER AIDE SAYSBefore Hamas' attacks on Oct. 7, Israel was embroiled in an internal battle over judicial reform measures. This sparked a heated debate and widespread protests throughout the country. The House Judiciary Committee noted that then-President Joe Biden condemned the reform measures and appeared to express support for the protests."Like many strong supporters of Israel, I'm very concerned. I'm concerned that they get this straight. They cannot continue down this road. I've sort of made that clear," Biden told reporters in March 2023, according to CNN. Part of the quote also appears in the memo.The committee claims BWF received funds from NGOs, including some U.S. grant recipients, and funded the coalition headquarters for the protests. Additionally, the committee alleges the Biden-Harris administration gave $42,000 to MQG to conduct activism training in Israeli high schools.ISRAELI MINISTER PUSHES BACK AGAINST US, INTERNATIONAL CRITICISM OVER JUDICIAL OVERHAULPEF Israel Endowment Funds is accused in the memo of providing over $884M to groups involved in anti-democracy protests. Similarly, the committee said the Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors "likely provided portions of its $20 million in federal grants" to groups funding the protests. Additionally, the committee questions whether MEPDN violated its 501(c)(3) status "by funding anti-democracy protest."When it comes to JCF, the committee claims the organization gave over $42.8M to the protest headquarters and the two main funders of the protests.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe committee noted in the memo that the investigation is ongoing and that more American and Israeli NGOs will be added.Fox News Digital reached out to the six NGOs mentioned in the memo and did not receive responses in time for publication.

Former Minnesota state Sen. Dr. Scott Jensen, the Republican who lost the state's 2022 gubernatorial contest to incumbent Gov. Tim Walz, has announced another bid for the governorship."Two decades of liberal policies have made Minnesota too expensive, too dangerous, and thrown our culture outta whack. Tim Walz made it worse. A leader must take responsibility. Tim Walz didn't. And so he shouldn't be governor," Jensen said in a campaign video posted on Thursday.Then-former President Donald Trump endorsed Jensen before the Minnesotan lost in the 2022 gubernatorial contest.21 DEMOCRATS WHO MAY TRY TO SUCCEED TRUMP IN THE 2028 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION"Minnesota finally has a chance to have a great Governor. His name is Dr. Scott Jensen, the Republican Gubernatorial Candidate, and he will bring Minnesota back from the brink," Trump said in an October 2022 Truth Social post."Strong on both fighting Crime and delivering Solid and Sensible Education, the results will be quickly seen - and there wont be any more fiery takeovers of police precincts.

FIRST ON FOX: For one lawmaker, the path to making Americans healthier starts in the dirt.Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., has styled himself as an early adopter of the Make America Healthy Again movement, a political slogan born on the 2024 campaign trail that has since seen major companies tweak their products to nix artificial additives.But Marshall sees the initiative, commonly known as MAHA, as one that can start sooner than switching the oil in deep friers or swapping out high-fructose corn syrup for cane sugar in soda.SENATORS PUSH BACK AGAINST VOUGHT'S CALL FOR MORE PARTISAN SPENDING PROCESSHe has his own four pillars of MAHA, which include dialing up efficiency in agriculture; healthier, more nutrient-rich food; affordable access to primary care healthcare; and addressing mental health challenges among young people.But it all starts below the surface with soil health."Soil is a dirty topic, you know, pun intended," Marshall told Fox News Digital in an interview.MAHA diehards and farmers are, at a surface level, at odds with one another, he said. For example, returning to an entirely organic food production process devoid of fertilizers would create healthier food, but also crank up the costs on consumers and strain farmland.TWO REPUBLICANS VOTE AGAINST TRUMP'S $9 BILLION CLAWBACK OF FOREIGN AID, NPR FUNDINGEarlier in the week, Marshall held a roundtable with Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to try and bridge that gap."Soil health seems to be the common ground," he said. "So healthy soil meets healthy food meets healthy people. Rather than MAHA telling these farmers what you can and can't do, we wanted to say, What's our goal here? If we have the same goals, then we're going to figure this out. Well, the goal is healthy soil."Getting those two in a room together, along with experts on regenerative agriculture, which is a more holistic approach to farming that targets soil health by restoring and enhancing ecosystems, is just a part of his plan.He also intends to drop a massive package of bills that is divided up into categories that echo his four pillars, including legislation geared toward health care, mental health, nutrition and agriculture.Among the nearly 30 bills and amendments in the package is one Marshall is particularly keen to see codified. The Plant Biostimulant Act would spur usage of organisms that can be placed into the soil and that latch onto the roots of plants that absorb nitrates and more water, he said.'LONG OVERDUE': SENATE REPUBLICANS RAM THROUGH TRUMP'S CLAWBACK PACKAGE WITH CUTS TO FOREIGN AID, NPRThe bill ties in directly with his passion for regenerative agriculture, which uses fewer fertilizers, water and other status-quo farming techniques to produce healthier foods on more sustainable farmland, which, in turn, would yield a cheaper, more nutritious diet for Americans."It's growing more with less," he said.Among the various, bipartisan pieces of legislation from both chambers are bills that would push mobile cancer screenings with grant funding, add mental health warnings for kids scrolling through social media, require more transparency in food ingredients, expansion of employer healthcare coverage for chronic diseases, and measures that would allow bleeding edge soil health technology and processes to be considered conservation practices and eligible for Farm Bill funding, among others.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPMost bills need to get 60 votes to pass in the Senate, Marshall noted, and that led to a desire to incorporate as many bipartisan measures in the package as possible. Its also a topic that, in spite of the political polarization in Washington, "unites us, rather than divides us."Still, with President Donald Trump in office, he sees the chance for the measures to pass as a kind of now or never moment."We're seeing a time in our lives where the incidence of cancer, the age of cancer, is growing younger and younger, the age of Alzheimer's onset is growing younger and younger, and we believe it's an inflammatory reaction to the food that we're eating that leads to all that," he said."We think heart disease, hypertension, is really an inflammatory reaction to the food we're eating and the constantly high sugar levels in our blood system," he continued. "So absolutely, I think, seize the moment. This is it."

Count one prominent person among those happy that Stephen Colberts late-night show was canceled."I absolutely love that Colbert got fired," President Donald Trump posted Friday on Truth Social."His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert! Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show," Trump went on.Colbert, one of Trumps fiercest critics, took over the CBS show from David Letterman in 2015, and became a major platform for Democratic politicians. Last month,Colbert welcomed New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani before the socialist hopeful clinched the Democratic nomination. On Thursday, the same day he announced his cancellation effective next May, his first guest was Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.CBS PARENT COMPANY SPARKS MASSIVE OUTRAGE WITH TRUMP LAWSUIT SETTLEMENTCBS said in a statement that the long-running late-night show will end in May 2026, but it 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."There had been speculation about the future of the Paramount-owned late-night programs, which also includes "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central, as its planned corporate merger with Skydance Media is expected to take place later this year.Colbert was outspoken against the settlement, calling it a "big fat bribe" to the Trump administration. He joked about being pressured by studio heads earlier this week.CBS STAFFERS REVOLT OVER PARAMOUNT'S 'SHAMEFUL' TRUMP SETTLEMENT, 'BETRAYAL' TO THE NETWORK'S JOURNALISTS"Some of the TV typers out there are blogging that once Skydance gets CBS, the new owners desire to please Trump will put pressure on late-night host and frequent Trump critic Stephen Colbert," Colbert joked. "OK, but how are they going to put pressure on Stephen Colbert if they cant find him?"CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPMeanwhile, Fox News Channel's "Gutfeld!" has surged to become late-night's highest-rated program. In the second quarter of 2025, the show, hosted by Fox star Greg Gutfeld, notched 3 million viewers and 365,000 in the 25-54 age demographic at the 10 p.m. ET hour.In addition to routing cable news competition, "Gutfeld!" outpaced all broadcast and late-night television, including "The Late Show" and other such established programs as Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," ABCs "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and NBCs "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon" and "Late Night with Seth Meyers."
