President Donald Trump renewed his criticism against former President Joe Biden and his administration over the use of an autopen to sign off on important orders including pardons during Bidens tenure in the White House.Trump has railed against Bidens use of the autopen for months, claiming thousands of pardons Biden signed were void and that the former president did not know what documents he was signing through the automated device."It was illegally used. He never gave the orders," Trump told reporters Thursday during a trip to the U.K. "He never told them what to do. And I guess the only one he signed, or one of the few he signed, was the pardon for his son."TOP BIDEN OFFICIALS QUESTIONED AND CRITICIZED HOW HIS TEAM ISSUED PARDONS, USED AUTOPEN: REPORTA spokesperson for Biden did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.A White House official previously told Fox News Digital that Trump uses his hand signature for every legally operational or binding document. Even so, Trump has admitted that he uses an autopen for letters.Meanwhile, Bidens chief of staff issued final approval for multiple high-profile preemptive pardons during Bidens final days in office, the New York Times reported in July.Although Biden reportedly made the decision about the pardons in a meeting, Bidens chief of staff Jeff Zients is the one who gave final approval for the use of the autopen at least in the case of former chief medical advisor to the president, Anthony Fauci, and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, the Times reported.'SHOULD BE PROSECUTED': HOUSE REPUBLICANS ZERO IN ON BIDEN AUTOPEN PARDONS AFTER BOMBSHELL REPORTEven so, Biden told the Times that he made every clemency decision of his own accord.Meanwhile, Trumps comments come as Zients is slated to appear before the House Oversight Committee Thursday for its probe into Bidens mental acuity. Part of that investigation is also examining if the former president was fully cognizant of clemency orders and executive actions he signed using the autopen.Biden granted a total of 4,245 acts of clemency during his administration, 96% of which were granted during his final months in office between October 2024 and January 2025, according to the Pew Research Center.BIDEN CHIEF OF STAFF REPORTEDLY GAVE APPROVAL FOR AUTOPEN PARDONS ON FINAL DAY IN OFFICEAn autopen is a machine that physically holds a pen and follows programming to imitate a persons signature.Unlike a stamp or a digitized print of a signature, the autopen has the capability to hold various types of pens, from a ballpoint to a permanent marker, according to descriptions of autopen machines for sale online.Fox News Liz Elkind contributed to this report.

This story discusses suicide. If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255).EXCLUSIVE: A top conservative watchdog is suing the federal health care bureaucracy alleging they are stonewalling results of a study started under the Obama administration looking into the effects of transgender therapy pharmaceuticals on youth.Oversight Project president Mike Howell told Fox News Digital in a Wednesday interview that administering puberty blockers and other nascent drugs to teens is akin to "modern-day Tuskegee experiments" and that the National Institutes of Health and the studys proctor should not be allowed to keep their results secret.In 2014, NIH awarded a grant to childrens hospitals that led to a study helmed by a Los Angeles pediatrician to discern the long-term effects of puberty blockers on pediatric transgender people, Howell explained, citing his organizations lawsuit.In 2024, Rep. Lisa McClain, R-Mich., wrote to the Biden-led NIH questioning why "principal investigator" Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy was "withholding publication" of the $9.7 million studys findings.LEGAL GROUP SUES FDA OVER PUBERTY BLOCKER RECORDS, CITING BIDEN-ERA COVER-UP"In light of the NIH grantees unwillingness to release the research projects findings, we ask that you provide documents and information to assist the Committees oversight of this matter," McClain wrote, citing her role as chair of a House Oversight subcommittee.One year later, Howells group sought the files through a public request in July, and sued this week, claiming officials ignored them.Both McClain, in her letter, and Howell, in his interview, raised concerns over Olson-Kennedys remarks about critics potentially weaponizing results from the NIH-funded study."NIH is responsible for overseeing its extramural research projects to ensure supported researchers practice transparency, exemplify scientific integrity, and are proper stewards of taxpayer funds," McClain wrote to the Biden NIH.Howell said he wants the NIH, under the Trump administration, to make the results public, citing troubling hints from Olson-Kennedy in a New York Times article that quoted her saying about one-quarter of participants reported some type of depression.FEDERAL COURT REJECTS CHALLENGE TO OKLAHOMA LAW BANNING GENDER TRANSITION TREATMENT FOR MINORS"In light of the recent spate of transgender ideology-inspired violent extremism and domestic terrorism, Including some of the shootings at schools and churches and most recently, Charlie Kirk, the Oversight Project and I want to know what the government knows about the psychological conditions of this new and coveted population of transgender children who are now growing into adults," Howell said."It seems to me, in light of recent disclosures, including the America First Legal v. FDA [suit] that the government was well aware that these types of therapies, surgeries and cultural celebration and praising of this class of people was dangerous and led to increases in suicide rates, depression and other psychological conditions which all too often are manifesting in violent tendencies."In 2024, America First Legal founded by Trump confidant Stephen Miller sued for the release of any FDA records on off-label uses for puberty blockers and "cross-sex hormones."Howell said there is public interest in the studys publication because it may "map out" why or whether the government has been aware of the "massive, growing problem" but declined to publicize for "politically-correct reasons."DEMOCRATIC STATES SUE TRUMP ADMIN OVER ENDING SEX CHANGE SURGERIES FOR MINORSWhile NIH declined comment to Fox News Digital citing ongoing litigation, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has been very critical of the types of drugs the Oversight Project is also concerned about.Kennedy has called puberty blockers for minors "castration drugs," and suggested young people cannot be considered prescient enough to make such life-changing medical decisions."Minors cannot drive, vote, join the army, get a tattoo, smoke, or drink, because we know that children do not fully understand the consequences of decisions with life-long ramifications," he wrote on social media."The more I learn, the more troubled I have become about giving puberty blockers to youth," Kennedy said in May 2024.As secretary, Kennedy urged doctors to reconsider child sex-change operations in a formal letter obtained by the Daily Caller in May."HHS expects you promptly to make the necessary updates to your treatment protocols and training for care for children and adolescents with gender dysphoria to protect them from these harmful interventions," it read.Neal Cornett, a lead attorney in the case, told Fox News Digital he would also like to see any internal NIH reports on the physiological effects of related drugs Lupron and Supprelin."Imagine that youre 14 years old you take some kind of puberty blocker youre basically stunted, your bones arent growing, you have osteoporosis at the age of 15 that's going to do a psychological number on you," Cornett said.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPHowell said there is an absolute connection, if allegations bear out, between the Tuskegee Experiments of the mid-20th century on African Americans and studies testing out puberty blockers on 21st century children."When I first read [of the study] I was reminded of Tuskegee Experiments on African Americans [where the uniformed U.S. Public Health Service] gave them drugs... to test out treatments there; horrific events," he said.Fox News Digital also reached out to the Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles, which was listed as the affiliate medical center for Olson-Kennedy. A number listed for Olson-Kennedy's California practice was disconnected.She told the Times in October 2024 she intended then to publish the data but blamed delays on funding cuts a claim the NIH denied, the paper reported.

One ABC insider had a message particularly for liberals in the fallout of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" being pulled from the airwaves."I hope it teaches the left (and the right that still cares about speech) that the executive branch agencies have waaaaay too much power," the network staffer told Fox News Digital."If you dont want your political enemy to get to define hate speech, then you dont want to criminalize hate speech," they continued. "Same goes for the FCC."Neither Disney nor ABC responded to Fox News Digital's requests for comment.LIBERALS RAGE AS ABC PULLS JIMMY KIMMEL OFF THE AIR FOLLOWING CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSIN COMMENTSDisney was facing mounting pressure from ABC affiliate stations around the country as well as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) over its handling of its liberal late-night host Jimmy Kimmel over his comments about the alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. A spokesperson for Disney told Fox News Digital "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" would be preempted "indefinitely."On Monday, Kimmel suggested Robinson was part of the "MAGA gang" despite reports he had a left-wing ideology, which was later reaffirmed in Tuesday's indictment."We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it," Kimmel told his audience.Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group had expressed to ABC that it would preempt "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on the affiliate stations they operate unless the Disney-owned network addressed the controversy.FCC Chairman Brendan Carr also threatened ABC and Disney to remedy the situation, saying "we can do this the easy way or the hard way.""I've been very clear from the moment that I have become chairman of the FCC, I want to reinvigorate the public interest. And what people don't understand is that the broadcasters, and you've gotten this right, are entirely different than people that use other forms of communication. They have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest," Carr told YouTube host Benny Johnson. "These companies can find ways to change conduct, to take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or, you know, there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead."One broadcast journalist was perplexed by Carr's demands. "What does Carr mean when he says it's our obligation to ensure the FCC has license holders uphold the public interest, who's going to define that?" they told Fox News Digital. "I imagine what the commander in chief's definition of the public interest is but it's crazy."FCC CHAIR LEVELS THREAT AGAINST ABC, DISNEY AFTER KIMMEL SUGGESTED CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSIN WAS 'MAGA'

A Massachusetts commuter has been arrested after bystander video shows an elderly woman being shoved off of a bus and violently slammed to the ground in the latest attack caught on camera on a major blue citys public transit system.The suspect has been identified as Luz Pineda, according to the Boston Globe. Pineda was located and taken into custody on Wednesday, the MBTA Transit Police confirmed to Fox News Digital.Police said the Sept. 8 incident occurred at around 1 p.m. on the corner of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Warren Street, just three miles from Fenway Park in Boston.IRYNA ZARUTSKA'S FAMILY DEMANDS JUSTICE IN FIRST STATEMENT SINCE 'HORRIFIC' STABBINGPineda, who was with an infant at the time of the assault, can be seen allegedly yelling at the woman before throwing her shopping cart off the bus and shoving the woman onto the sidewalk, according to video obtained by FOX 26.MBTA Transit Police took to social media to ask for the publics help to identify the suspect, who was expected to be arraigned in Roxbury District Court on Thursday morning.Authorities have not provided an update on the condition of the victim, who police said was injured in the attack.Fox News Digital was unable to immediately locate an attorney for Pineda.LEAVITT BLASTS 'MANY OUTLETS IN THIS ROOM' AT BRIEFING FOR FAILING TO COVER MURDER OF IRYNA ZARUTSKA"Safety will always be at the forefront of everything we do, and Im proud of the prompt response and investigation by the MBTA Transit Police that led to the arrest of this individual," MBTA General Manager and CEO Phillip Eng said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "The public deserves a safe transportation system, and I want them to know that this conduct will not be tolerated anywhere on our system."The incident comes just weeks after Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, 23, was killed while commuting home from work on a North Carolina light-rail train last month, sparking nationwide outrage regarding Americans safety on public transit.Surveillance video captured the terrifying moments Decarlos Brown Jr. allegedly stabbed Zarutska in the throat three times with a folding knife while the young woman was seated in front of him on the train in Charlotte.CHARLOTTE MAYOR SLAMMED OVER COMMENTS AFTER WOMAN STABBED TO DEATH ON TRAINOn Wednesday, Brown was charged with first-degree murder in connection with Zarutskas death. He has been ordered to undergo a 60-day mental health evaluation before the court can determine if he is able to stand trial.At the time of the alleged murder, Brown possessed an extensive criminal record with 14 arrests in the past 12 years, along with a history of mental health issues.Brown's attorney did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.Zarutskas death reignited concerns regarding violence commuters face while taking public transit throughout the nations major metropolitan cities, as concerned riders and public officials point to several high-profile attacks making headlines in recent years.CHARLOTTE TRAIN STABBING PUTS NORTH CAROLINA COMMUTERS ON EDGE AFTER RANDOM ATTACKAccording to police records obtained by WCNC Charlotte, the citys light-rail system has seen numerous incidents of violence since Zarutskas killing.Just two days after the fatal stabbing, on Aug. 24, a 20-year-old man reported being bitten on both arms by a fellow rider while on a light-rail train. On Aug. 30, an unknown individual reportedly struck a rider in the face while on another light-rail platform, leading to one arrest.A few days later, on Sept. 3, a man believed to be homeless reported an incident in which he was reportedly held at gunpoint and robbed, with the perpetrator making off with nearly $3,000 from the victims Cash App account. On Sept. 5, a 52-year-old woman called the police to report that she had been threatened and then coerced into making unwanted physical contact with a suspects genital area while on the citys light-rail train.CHILLING VIDEO SHOWS MOMENTS BEFORE UKRAINIAN REFUGEE STABBED TO DEATH ON CHARLOTTE LIGHT RAILCharlotte Mayor Vi Lyles addressed the publics concerns while vowing to review the citys public transit safety operations."City leaders have been working to improve safety in our community and on our transit system and we will continue to do so," Lyles wrote in a post on X.Lyles added that changes will be implemented throughout the transit system, such as an increased security presence as nearly "30 additional security personnel" are expected to be added to the Blue Line."We are committed to working with everyone to ensure that our community continues to be safe," Lyles wrote. "I believe in Charlotte, and we will come out stronger together."

A common over-the-counter medication could significantly reduce the risk of colorectal cancer coming back.In a Swedish study, a low dose of aspirin was shown to slash recurrence in half for patients with colon and rectal cancer whose tumors had a specific type of genetic mutation.Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital followed more than 3,500 cancer patients from 33 hospitals in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland, according to a press release. All patients had undergone surgery to remove their tumors.LONG-DISTANCE RUNNING TIED TO HIGHER RISK OF COLON CANCER, EARLY STUDY SUGGESTSAmong those who had a particular gene mutation in the PIK3 signaling pathway, half of them received 160 milligrams of aspirin daily and the other half received a placebo.After a three-year period, the risk of cancer recurrence was reduced by 55% in those who took the aspirin compared with the placebo group."The ALASCCA trial shows for the first time in a randomized setting that low-dose aspirin significantly reduces recurrence in colorectal cancer patients with somatic PI3K pathway alterations," study author Anna Martling, M.D., Ph.D., professor at the Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, Karolinska Institutet, and senior consultant surgeon at Karolinska University Hospital, told Fox News Digital.RISK OF COLON CANCER SLASHED BY EATING SPECIFIC TYPES OF VEGETABLES, STUDY FINDS"This applies to more than one-third of all patients with resected colorectal cancer."The effect was stronger in women, which warrants further investigation, according to Martling.The findings were published in the New England Journal of Medicine.Aspirin is a drug that is readily available globally and extremely inexpensive compared to many modern cancer drugs, Martling noted.Intended to relieve pain, fever and inflammation, aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Low doses of the medication are also used to prevent blood clots.This research confirms what prior observational studies have suggested, this time in a randomized study.Dr. Marc Siegel, Fox News senior medical analyst, was not involved in the study but shared his reaction in an interview with Fox News Digital."Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory and is involved with mitigating growth factors," he said. "Numerous studies have shown that regular use of NSAIDs have decreased the risk of developing and dying from colon cancer."COLORECTAL CANCER MAY CAUSE THESE 4 HIDDEN WARNING SIGNS, EXPERTS SAYThe PIK3CA mutation in the study leads to rapid cell growth in cancers, found in 55% of breast cancers and about 30% of colon cancers, Siegel noted."This large, randomized Scandinavian study reveals a greater than 50% reduction of recurrence in those with colon cancer and the PIK3 mutation," he reiterated, adding that more research needs to be done.The study did have some limitations, the author acknowledged. "As with any trial, there are caveats. The study was not powered for detailed subgroup analyses, and patients older than 80 were not included," Martling said."Longer follow-up is also needed to confirm effects on overall survival."Some common side effects of aspirin include stomach problems and an increased bleeding tendency, according to the researchers. It should not be used by people with stomach ulcers, bleeding disorders or asthma.Those using other blood-thinning agents or alcohol should use aspirin with caution, experts advise.Despite the limitations, the researchers believe that the results are "immediately relevant" for clinicians and guideline committees.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"Testing for PI3K pathway alterations should be considered in colorectal cancer patients after surgery," Martling recommended. "However, for patients, it is important to know that aspirin is not recommended outside of a medical context until guidelines and treating physicians adopt these findings."The trial is a strong example of "precision medicine," according to the researcher, and of high-technology platforms meeting a well-known, low-cost drug."If broadly implemented, the regimen could prevent thousands of recurrences and save lives each year, especially in settings where access to expensive novel drugs is limited," she added.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthWhen asked if everyone who has experienced colon cancer should be given regular aspirin, Siegel said it should be more commonly used for this than previously, but that doctors need to analyze the risks and benefits of aspirin use on a case-by-case basis.The study was funded in part by the Swedish Research Council and the Swedish Cancer Society.

The Miami Dolphins have looked awful in their first two games of the 2025 season, and their start has put head coach Mike McDaniel firmly on the hot seat.The Dolphins lost to the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots and will enter their third game of the season against the Buffalo Bills with the second-worst point differential in the NFL at -31.Former NFL star linebacker Shawne Merriman predicted that change would be coming to the Dolphins soon.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"That team is going to get dismantled here soon, and I think its going to start with the head coach, Mike McDaniel," he told Fox News Digital. "I think theyre going to start (looking to) trade or let go of some of their most frustrated players. You have a frustrated Tyreek Hill. Tyreek Hill is a very, very key figure in your locker room."So, when you see him frustrated, and things like that happening him being frustrated alone can trickle down to a lot of guys, and it could be a bad situation for him. And it could be a bad situation for the organization."Merriman also said he was far from impressed with McDaniels press conference after the loss to the Patriots.McDaniel offered a bewildering quote when asked about the teams failure to convert on third and fourth down on their final possession of the game."That's kind of where the frustration lies for me is it wasn't deciding that cost us, or a late play call, which that happens at times," McDaniel said. "But this was not one of those times. I got the play call in, but I need to do a better job supervising the orchestration within our multiple personnel groups."To win games, you have to win the game and not lose the game, honestly. And that is how you lose the game. You're moving the ball down the field, you're first and 10 and then you find yourself at second and 20. That was critical."Merriman said it didnt really inspire confidence.DOLPHINS' TUA TAGOVAILOA DRAWS BACKLASH FOR ADMITTING HE 'CAN'T DO HALF' OF WHAT BILLS STAR JOSH ALLEN CAN"I dont know if Mike McDaniel is making it through the season," he told Fox News Digital. "Id hate to see anybody get fired. But just seeing what Ive seen at his press conferences, and Ive seen it before. And this happened with (former Chargers coach Brandon Staley)."This is when you know if certain coaches are not ready to be in that position as a head coach by how they handle the worst adversity at a time. Some of the answers that Mike McDaniel is screaming 'Hes not ready to be in that position just yet. Not because he cant coach, but hes a really good coordinator that doesnt know how to run a team yet, and he needs to learn how to be in that position before hes another head coach."Dolphins legend Dan Marino offered a sunnier outlook to Fox News Digital earlier in the week."I think its a group effort, obviously. Mike is a brilliant offensive mind. Hes proven that," Marino said. "Yesterday (Sunday), its just at the end, like all the games in the NFL, come down to the fourth quarter. Almost all of them are like that, and you have to play all four quarters. We did, and we had a chance to win."The Dolphins, if (DeVon) Achane didnt step out of bounds, I really feel like we wouldve won that game. That happened, theres a couple mistakes, and next thing you know you lose the game. Thats why its so critical at the end, especially, to play mistake-free football. But Mikes a very good football coach."Winning solves a lot of things in sports, and the Dolphins could turn the ship around with an upset victory over the Bills.However, the Dolphins are on a six-game losing streak against the Bills and havent beaten them since Sept. 25, 2022. Its their one win against them since Dec. 2, 2018. Additionally, Miami hasnt beaten the Bills in Buffalo since Christmas Eve 2016.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Now, ABC should have stood up to the FCC and fought them," Swalwell said.Berman asked Swalwell if he endorsed what Kimmel said about Kirk, since he was wearing a Kimmel hat.TRUMP CALLS DISNEY PULLING JIMMY KIMMEL'S SHOW 'GREAT NEWS FOR AMERICA'"I don't have to endorse it, but if you listen to it, all he said was that the right was going out of their way to try and find anyone responsible but themselves for what happened to Charlie Kirk.

It was also revealed that he had a romantic relationship with a transgender partner who was biologically male and transitioning to female.Nexstar Media Group, which owns hundreds of television stations, announced earlier it would preempt Kimmel's show on its ABC affiliates starting Wednesday night "for the foreseeable future" and would replace it with other programming over his comments about Robinson.Sinclair called for more action."Mr. Kimmels remarks were inappropriate and deeply insensitive at a critical moment for our country," Sinclair Vice Chairman Jason Smith said in a statement. "We believe broadcasters have a responsibility to educate and elevate respectful, constructive dialogue in our communities. We appreciate FCC Chairman Carrs remarks today, and this incident highlights the critical need for the FCC to take immediate regulatory action to address control held over local broadcasters by the big national networks."Democratic lawmakers, actor Ben Stiller and others also criticized ABC.Kirk, 31, was shot and killed last week while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University. Thousands of people have mourned his death in vigils across the U.S.Kirks funeral is set for Sunday in Glendale, Arizona.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., accused President Donald Trump of exploiting the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in order to go after critics.Schumers charge came as Senate Democrats teed up legislation called the "No Political Enemies Act," which would prohibit Trump and his administration from weaponizing government agencies. It comes in the wake of late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmels sidelining by ABC over comments he made related to Kirk.The top Senate Democrat said freedom of speech is "one of the great hallmarks of our country" but that the Trump administration "is trying to snuff it out."HOUSE DEM WARNS BOTH SIDES ON 'ROAD TO RUIN' AS POLITICAL DIVIDE DEEPENS OVER KIRK ASSASSINATION"Those who break the law, of course, resort to any source of violence ought to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," Schumer said. "But using the tragic death of Charlie Kirk as an excuse to supercharge the political witch hunt against critics is abhorrent, obnoxious and as un-American as it gets.""To attack civil society, whether it's Jimmy Kimmel, civil society organizations or the Trump administration's perceived political enemies, its crusade is unending," he continued. "And this is one of the saddest parts of all, because of congressional Republicans' obeisance to Trump, it's unchecked because they are scared to stand up to Trump."BONDI 'HATE SPEECH' REMARKS SPARK TORRENT OF CRITICISM FROM CONSERVATIVESDemocrats legislation would prevent the administration from using agencies like the Justice Department, FBI and the IRS from going after people for criticizing the government, according to a one-page description of the bill.It would also hold officials accountable for using their office to go after critics, ensure courts quickly dismiss "abusive actions," and provide due process for U.S. nonprofits that the government tries to "label as criminal or terrorist organizations."FOLLOWING KIRKS ASSASSINATION, LAWMAKERS REACT TO LETHAL POLITICAL CLIMATE: 'VIOLENT WORDS PRECEDE VIOLENT ACTIONS'Their legislative push also comes after Attorney General Pam Bondi said earlier this week that the administration would "go after you if you are targeting anyone with hate speech."Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., called her comments "bone chilling.""The shooting of Charlie Kirk was a national tragedy," he said. "It should have been a line in the sand, an opportunity for President Trump to bring this country together to do whatever is necessary to stamp out political violence that's targeted both Republicans and Democrats, political violence that emanates from both right-wing and left-wing radicalization.""But Trump and his lieutenants are choosing a different path," he continued. "They are choosing to exploit this tragedy, to weaponize the federal government to destroy Donald Trump's political opposition."Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and Justice Department for comment but did not immediately hear back.

President Donald Trump said Thursday he's been "let down" by his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin."The one that I thought would be easiest would be because of my relationship with President Putin," Trump said during a joint press conference in London with United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer. "But he's let me down. He's really let me down. Was going to be Russia and Ukraine. But we'll see how that turns out."Months of U.S.-led peace negotiations including an Alaska summit between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have not led to breakthroughs in ending the war in Ukraine."War is a different thing," Trump said. "Things happen that are very opposite of what you thought. You thought you're going to have an easy time or a hard time, and it turns out to be the reverse."TRUMP AND ZELENSKYY TO MET AS POLAND PRESSURES NATO ON NO FLY ZONE OVER UKRAINETrump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy may meet on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly next week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday.

I mean, frankly, the Russian soldiers are being killed at a higher rate than the Ukrainian soldiers, but, yeah, he's let me down. I don't like to see it's death."The president then mused that the war "doesn't affect the United States."To Starmer, he said, "Of course, you are a lot closer to the scene than we are. We have a whole ocean separating us. But I will say this. It's millions of people have died in that war. Millions of souls. And they're not American soldiers, mostly soldiers. As you know, the soldiers are being killed at levels nobody's seen since the Second World War, but they're being, they're being killed. And I feel I have an obligation to get it settled for that reason."Meanwhile, Ukraine expects $3.5 billion in U.S. weapons to soon funnel in to fund its war effort, Zelenskyy said Wednesday."We will definitely have Patriot and HIMARS missiles," he said during a press conference on Wednesday."We have received more than $2 billion from our partners specifically for the PURL program. We will get additional funds in October. I think we will reach about $3.53.6 billion," the president added. That funding came from Ukraines allies in Europe.The U.S. approved the first new weapons packages for Ukraine this week. Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby signed off on two $500 million packages under the PURL program, Reuters first reported."The Department of War has facilitated this first sale of weapons in line with President Trumps America First priorities and efforts to bring this brutal war, which was brought on by Joe Bidens incompetence, to an end," a senior administration official told Fox News Digital, confirming the sale.The Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List, or PURL, was created to streamline Ukraines access to advanced weapons by pooling allied contributions into U.S.-managed procurement. Instead of sending cash directly to Kyiv, partners commit funds that Washington uses to acquire systems from American defense firms.Germany, Poland, the UK, and other NATO members are believed to be leading contributors, though the exact breakdown hasnt been made public.TRUMP'S NATO DEAL TO ARM UKRAINE WINS OVER GOP SKEPTICSTrumps decision to rely on NATO allies money rather than seek additional congressional appropriations marks a sharp shift in U.S. policy, allowing him to sustain Ukraines arsenal while deflecting criticism from lawmakers wary of more taxpayer-funded aid.In July the Pentagon halted weapons shipments to Ukraine, which had been approved under the Biden administration, citing strains on the U.S.s own munitions stockpiles. Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a review of U.S. stockpiles after years of depletion for the war in Ukraine, as well as operations against the Houthis in the Middle East and assistance to Israel for its war in Gaza.The renewed weapons flow also underscores strains on the U.S. defense industrial base. The Pentagon is racing to double monthly artillery shell output, but leaders admit replenishment will take years amid competing demands from Ukraine, Israel and operations in the Middle East.PENTAGON HALTS SOME WEAPONS SHIPMENTS TO UKRAINE OVER CONCERNS ABOUT US STOCKPILESArmy Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George has warned that using multimillion-dollar interceptors against cheap drones is unsustainable, urging industry to innovate toward lower-cost defenses. The imbalance between high-end U.S. systems and Russias mass use of inexpensive drones and artillery is now one of the wars defining strategic challenges.The Armys goal is to double the monthly output of 150mm rounds by leveraging advanced automation.Gen. George said the service branch is also looking at new ways companies can produce munitions "that get us back to the cost curve," meaning cost-equivalent or cheaper than the incoming weapons they are shooting down. "What we don't want to do is shoot $3 million missiles at $50,000 drones or $10,000 drones."
