A 60-year-old Honolulu man who was convicted last fall of attempting to assassinate President Trump in 2024 was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison. Prosecutors said Ryan Routh plotted to kill Trump at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla., in September 2024 when Trump was running for president. "Ryan Routh's heinous attempted assassination of President Trump was not only an attack on our President—it was a direct assault against our entire democratic system," U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement Wednesday...

The man convicted of attempting to assassinate President Trump at a golf course in 2024 was sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday. Prosecutors had asked for life without parole for Ryan Routh, who they say "remains totally unrepentant." Prosecutors wrote that "the heinous nature of this assassination attempt — his selfish, violent decision to prevent the American voters from electing President Trump by killing him first — that warrants severe criminal punishment."...

CLAIM: Emails written by the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein claimed he provided Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates drugs for an STD in order "to deal with consequences of sex with Russian girls."  RATING: TRUE. Two emails that appeared to be drafts or notes from Epstein to himself were among files released by the U.S. Department of Justice in late January 2026. Snopes could not verify whether the emails were ever sent to or read by Gates or anyone other than Epstein, or whether the allegations they contained were true. A spokesperson for Gates said the claims were "absolutely absurd and completely false."

South Carolina GOP Rep. Nancy Mace says that Ghislaine Maxwell will likely plead the fifth at her deposition hearing next week.  "We're hearing Ghislaine Maxwell is planning to plead the 5th at her deposition on Monday," Mace wrote on X. "When a convicted sex trafficker pleads the fifth it isn't about about self-incrimination any more, it's self-preservation and not wanting to cross the rich and powerful people she trafficked these children to."

YES. Solar projects do not inherently reduce biodiversity, and when designed with best practices, they can sustain or even increase local wildlife and plant diversity. Impacts depend on where and how projects are built. Siting solar on already developed land and minimizing soil disturbance can maintain habitats and support more diverse vegetation, insects, and birds. Solar farms can create "microclimates" where shade under panels reduces soil moisture loss and encourages plant growth. This may be especially valuable in regions currently experiencing hotter, drier conditions. AllSides highlights content from Gigafact, a network of newsrooms that respond to online claims.

At least 32 people have been killed in a wave of Israeli air strikes across the Gaza Strip on Saturday, according to local authorities. The civil defence agency, which is operated by Hamas, says children and women were among those killed. It added that in one attack, helicopter gunships hit a tent sheltering displaced people in the southern city of Khan Younis. Palestinians have described these strikes as the heaviest since the second phase of the ceasefire, brokered by US President Trump last October, came into effect earlier this month.

Amid the recent start of phase two of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Hamas and the Jewish state, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claim that Hamas has violated the deal through its misuse of ambulances, hospitals and schools to regain control of the northern Gaza Strip. The IDF provided Fox News Digital with exclusive video footage of what it alleges is Hamas operatives using an ambulance to transport terrorists and weapons from the "inner yard of the Yemen Al-Saeed Hospital" to various checkpoints in northern Gaza. "You see an armed suspect going into the ambulance with a Kalashnikov. The ambulance is connecting the dots for us. We passed the information to the American headquarters of the footage of the militants," an IDF official said of the video shared with Fox News Digital.
