The plot has thickened in the Bill Belichick-Jordon Hudson saga.The 73-year-old and 24-year-old made their relationship public last year, which prompted plenty of eyeballs as it is.However, in recent weeks, Hudson has gained notoriety when she interrupted a CBS interview with Belichick, resulting in back-and-forth statements between the two parties.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMHudson has reportedly been heavily involved in Belichick's professional life since he was hired to be UNC's football coach in December. One report said she struck down the idea of the Tar Heels program being featured in "Hard Knocks."She and Belichick both reportedly expressed concern about fan vitriol, particularly about their relationship, if UNC were to underperform.Apparently, Belichick had asked UNC staff to include Hudson in all emails moving forward.The headlines are very un-Belichick-like, who has always been known for his no-distraction demeanor. However, since his relationship with Hudson, that has been anything but. Additionally, the family is concerned, according to ex-ESPN employee Pablo Torre.Torre said a family source told him, "there is deep worry for how detrimental Jordon can be for not just North Carolina but Bill's legacy, reputation everything he has built and worked for over decades." Torre added that the family "has been digging into" Hudson.ROBERT GRIFFIN III, WIFE RIP BILL BELICHICK AND JORDON HUDSON AFTER CBS INTERVIEW: 'I'VE HAD ENOUGH'He also said sources on the UNC athletic staff told him that "is no longer allowed in the football building" or "on the football field." UNC did not immediately respond to an email requesting confirmation or comment."Dont think youll be hearing much from Jordon moving forward," a UNC source told him.A report surfaced last month that UNC employees are "not loving the Bill Belichick experience.""From rumblings I heard and this is not recent, and this a month or two ago theyre not loving the Bill Belichick experience. If youre an everyday employee down there, which is probably what a lot of the people here in 2000 felt when Bill came aboard and said, I dont know if I like this,' its uncomfortable," Tom Curran said on WEEI at the time.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Vice President JD Vance suggested the U.S. will not intervene in the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan, arguing the dust-up is "fundamentally none of our business.""We can't control these countries," Vance told Fox News Martha McCallum on "The Story" Thursday."We're not going to get involved in the middle of a war that's fundamentally none of our business and has nothing to do with Americas ability to control it."Vances comments came after President Donald Trump offered his help to repair relations between the two neighbors in Asia."Oh, it's so terrible. My position is, I get along with both," Trump told reporters Wednesday. "I know both very well, and I want to see them work it out. I want to see them stop. And hopefully they can stop now. They've got a tit-for-tat, so hopefully they can stop now. But I know both. We get along with both countries very well. Good relationships with both. And I want to see it stop. And if I can do anything to help I will. I will be there as well."PAKISTAN SHOOTS DOWN MORE THAN TWO DOZEN DRONES LAUNCHED BY INDIAVance, however, said the U.S. does not believe the issue will devolve into a nuclear conflict as he called on both sides to de-escalate."America can't tell the Indians to lay down their arms. We can't tell the Pakistanis to lay down their arms. And so we're going to continue to pursue this thing through diplomatic channels. Our hope and our expectation is that this is not going to spiral into a broader regional war or, God forbid, a nuclear conflict."The vice president's comments come after India attacked nine sites in longtime foe Pakistans territory in response to a terrorist attack that killed 26 mostly Indian tourists in the disputed Kashmir region.India said it had intelligence that a terrorist group based in Pakistan was responsible for the attack.Meanwhile, Pakistans military reported that the strikes killed at least 26 people including women and children and claimed India's action amounted to an "act of war."Pakistan said it shot down five Indian fighter jets in response, claiming that the move was justified given Indias strike.India has since launched drones into Pakistan, which its military forces say they shot down. India has also called up its reservists to ready for the potential of a protracted conflict.TRUMP OFFERS TO HELP INDIA, PAKISTAN AMID GROWING CONFLICT: I WANT TO SEE THEM STOPVance has emerged as the standard-bearer for the Trump administrations non-interventionist wing, giving voice to an American-first foreign policy that breaks sharply from GOP orthodoxy and has been labeled isolationist by hawkish critics.He claimed the U.S. was "making a mistake" when it began the offensive campaign against the Houthis in March."I think we are making a mistake," Vancewrote in a private Signal chat, inadvertently leaked to a journalist and later published by The Atlantic."I am not sure the president is aware how inconsistent this is with his message on Europe right now." The commercial ships attacked in the Red Sea are largely European.Vance has favored diplomatic negotiations with Iran to thwart its nuclear program and was on the attack at a White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in February."Right now you guys are going around forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems," Vance told Zelenskyy. "You should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict," he added during a meeting that devolved into a near-shouting match.Trump, for his part, is seemingly behind Vance and his restraint-minded approach, naming the vice president as a potential successor to the presidency in an NBC interview last week."You look at Marco, you look at JD Vance, whos fantastic," Trump said on the future of the top of the Republican ticket, referring to Vance and Secretary of State and interim national security advisor Marco Rubio."Certainly you would say that somebodys the V.P., if that person is outstanding, I guess that person would have an advantage."

The prosecuting attorney in the case of Bryan Kohberger, accused of murdering four University of Idaho students, notified the court in a recent filing that the state does not intend to call lay witnesses during the penalty phase of the trial, if he is convicted.The prosecution wrote in the filing obtained by Fox News Digital that it "hereby provides notice that the State does not intend to call any lay witnesses during the penalty phase."The document was filed late last week in the District Court of the Fourth Judicial District in the State of Idaho.JUDGE RULES DEATH PENALTY TO REMAIN AS POSSIBLE PUNISHMENT AMID BRYAN KOHBERGER AUTISM DIAGNOSIS"Rather, the State intends to rely on testimony and evidence admitted during the guilt phase," the filing says.The state does intend to allow victim impact statements from immediate family members of the victims who are present for the potential sentencing hearing.Read the court filing:Kohberger is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of four students at the University of Idaho, including Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; Madison Mogen, 21; and Ethan Chapin, 20.

FIRST ON FOX:A Democrat running for Congress in New Jersey who has been positioning herself as a moderate to unseat the sitting Republican in a pro-Trump district, has deleted several social media posts promoting progressive candidates and causes.Democrat Rebecca Bennett, who is running in the Democratic primary to unseat GOP Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. in New Jerseys 7th Congressional District, is a Navy veteran and current member of the Air Force National Guard who has been labeled by local media as a "moderate" in a race the Cook Political Report ranks as "Lean Republican."A Fox News Digital review of Bennetts X account, which was created in July 2011 and recently converted from @BigRedBecks to@RebeccaForNJ07,shows several deleted posts that seemingly drift away from the "moderate" label, including praise of progressive Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren."Love her," Bennett said in anow-deleted post about Warren in 2019.BIDEN DENIES HE LEFT 2024 RACE TOO LATE TO STOP TRUMP, SAYS IT WOULDN'T HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE"I love everything about this," Bennett said in anow-deleted post praising a video mashup of Warren to the tune of a Taylor Swift song. "(Except the misogyny that makes it real) #TeamWarren."Bennett has also removed posts praising former Vice President Kamala Harris, who was defeated by President Donald Trump, not only nationally, but also narrowly with voters in Keans district by just over one percentage point."Lets Goooooo," Bennett wrote in anow-deleted post after Harris was announced as then-former Vice President Joe Bidens running mate in 2020.If elected, Bennett would serve alongside Democratic New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, who she praised in 2020, calling him the "best senator." That post hassince been deleted.VANCE, CONSERVATIVES BLAST OMAR OVER RESURFACED 'FEARFUL OF WHITE MEN' CLIP: 'GENOCIDAL LANGUAGE'During the civil unrest and rioting that erupted after the death of George Floyd in 2020, Bennett posted on X that she agreed in anow-deleted post with a comment from former Obama campaign strategist David Plouffe, where he said House Democrats should "hold hearings" and investigate law enforcement officials responding to the riots.Bennett also deleted a post that appears to support the first impeachment of President Trump."Officially a @JasonCrowCO6 fan," Bennett posted on January 21, 2020 as the impeachment trial was unfolding where Crow ultimately voted to impeach. "Im a vet who also didnt have the equipment I needed to do my job, so this is personal for me too. #ImpeachmentTrial."Fox News Digital reached out to Bennetts team to inquire about the motivation behind deleting the X posts.Bennett's announcement video, which is almost two minutes long, does not mention that she is a Democrat.In a statement to Fox News Digital, National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) spokeswoman Maureen O'Toole said, "Its clear Rebecca Bennett is desperately trying to run away from her past and cover up her radical, out of touch agenda.""But New Jersey voters see right through her act and know exactly who she is: a radical scam artist who cant be trusted."Bennett's team, in a statement to Fox News Digital, did not address why the posts were removed but dismissed the criticism from the NRCC."Its no surprise to see the NRCC and conservative news outlets start attacking Rebecca, because they know she is a serious threat to beat Congressman Tom Kean next November and flip NJ7," Dan Bryan, senior advisor to the Bennett campaign, said."Rebecca and her campaign will continue to ignore recycled bad faith attacks from right-wing outlets and focus on her record serving this country and Congressman Keans failure to deliver for working families in our district."Bennett is not the first New Jersey Democrat running for Congress to face scrutiny over deleted social media posts.Sue Altman, who was defeated by Kean in 2024, faced heated criticism for deleting social media posts that were critical of law enforcement.The race in NJ-07 will be closely watched in next year's midterm elections given the thin majority Republicans currently hold in the House of Representatives, where the GOP currently holds 220 seats compared to 215 for the Democrats.

And all of this would be fine and beautiful, except that Hilaria from Espaa is actually Hillary from Boston."The Baldwins share eight small children together Carmen, 11, Rafael, 9, Leonardo, 8, Romeo, 6, Eduardo, 4, Mara Luca, 4, and Ilaria, 2.

And her husband shot someone now stay with me."Alec was charged with involuntary manslaughter in January 2023 after the gun he was holding fired on the set of "Rust," killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza.Reps for Schumer and Baldwin did not immediately respond to Fox News Digitals request for comment.Fox News Digital's Tracy Wright contributed to this report.

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., was one of the final senators to question OpenAI chief Sam Altman during Thursdays Senate Commerce Committee hearing, and the subject of both Three Mile Island and the Democrats penchant for Carhartt outerwear came up.Fetterman said that as a senator he has been able to meet people with "much more impressive jobs and careers" and that due to Altmans technology, "humans will have a wonderful ability to adapt."He told Altman that some Americans are worried about AI on various levels, and he asked the executive to address it.In response, Altman said he appreciated Fettermans praise.FROM FLOPPY DISKS TO FLIGHT DELAYS, TOP LAWMAKER WARNS US AIR SYSTEM IS DUE FOR A REBOOT"Thank you, Senator, for the kind words and for normalizing hoodies in more spaces," he said."I love to see that. I am incredibly excited about the rate of progress, but I also am cautious," Altman said about the Democrats particular question."I think this is beyond something that we all fully yet understand where it's going to go. This is, I believe, among the biggest technological revolutions humanity will have ever produced. And I feel privileged to be here."Fetterman also questioned Microsoft Vice Chair Brad Smith on concerns over the proliferation of data centers making utility costs for Pennsylvanians and Americans go up."For me, energy security is national security," he said, citing the use of renewable energy and fossil fuels.FETTERMAN SLAMS DUMB HIT PIECE ABOUT HEALTH, SAYS IT FELT LIKE BEING IN 'GOODFELLAS"My focus is also that I want to make sure that ratepayers in Pennsylvania really hit too hard for throughout all of this," he said, as many mid-Atlantic states are seeing an increase in land purchases for data centers that new tech like AI requires.While the construction of such centers does create jobs, he said, those roles are often temporary.He went on to note how Microsoft is seeking to revive a reactor on Three Mile Island in Dauphin County, which infamously melted down decades ago, and carbon-neutral means to power data centers and more."I've been tracking the plan to reopen TMI (Three Mile Island). My own personal story is I had to grab my hamster and evacuate during the meltdown in 1979," he said.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"You might assume that I was anti-nuclear, and I actually am very supportive of nuclear because that's an important part of the stack if you really want to address climate change.""But I know that's to power Microsoft's data center.
