A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., has heard evidence concerning possible false statements former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson made to the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, Fox News Digital has learned.Additional evidence could be presented to the grand jury as soon as next week, according to a source familiar with the matter.The proceedings remain in the grand jury phase, and no final decisions have been made about whether the matter will result in criminal charges, the source said.FORMER CIA DIRECTOR BRENNAN SUBPOENAED TO TESTIFY IN FEDERAL TRUMP CONSPIRACY CASEHutchinson, a former top aide to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, emerged as one of the most prominent witnesses before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and President Donald Trump’s efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election.During a nationally televised hearing in June 2022, Hutchinson provided testimony about Trump’s actions on Jan. 6, including an account she said she heard from another White House official about the president’s reaction after being told he could not travel to the Capitol.Her account of an alleged confrontation inside the presidential vehicle was subsequently disputed by other individuals familiar with the events.FORMER WHITE HOUSE AIDE CASSIDY HUTCHINSON ‘STANDS BY ALL OF THE TESTIMONY SHE PROVIDED’ TO JAN. 6 COMMITTEEIt remains unclear which portions of Hutchinson’s congressional testimony are being examined by the grand jury.The New York Post reported Thursday that the Justice Department was investigating Hutchinson over possible false statements to Congress and that a federal grand jury had been convened to hear evidence.Grand jury proceedings do not necessarily result in criminal charges, and the presentation of evidence does not establish that a crime occurred.A representative for the Justice Department and Hutchinson’s attorney did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.

Two Latvian nationals legally living in the United Kingdom were arrested under Section 4 of Britain’s National Security Act of 2023 on Thursday after breaching a perimeter fence at RAF Molesworth, a sensitive British military base housing critical U.S. and NATO intelligence operations, Reuters reported.The arrests triggered a major counterterrorism investigation into the security breach at the strategic installation, which serves as a central intelligence hub supporting American military commanders across Europe and Africa.The base is also undergoing a $556.5 million expansion centered on the Joint Intelligence Analysis Complex (JIAC), a facility designed to consolidate 20 intelligence facilities and accommodate more than 1,000 personnel, according to reports.The suspects, ages 32 and 36, were discovered inside the base around 2 a.m. Thursday following an extensive security sweep.Ministry of Defense Police officers conducting routine patrols first raised the alarm around 10 p.m. Wednesday after finding an abandoned vehicle near the perimeter.IRAN UNDER SCRUTINY AFTER PLOT FOILED NEAR UK BASE USED BY US MILITARYBomb disposal specialists cleared the vehicle before armed officers discovered a fence breach and located the men inside.Initially detained on suspicion of trespass and criminal damage, both men were rearrested under the National Security Act for entering a prohibited place for a purpose prejudicial to the United Kingdom. They remain in custody as counterterrorism detectives execute search warrants at two residential properties in nearby Peterborough.Managed by the U.S. Air Force’s 423rd Air Base Group, RAF Molesworth is a nonflying installation dedicated to joint intelligence and command operations.It houses intelligence elements for U.S. European Command, U.S. Africa Command and the NATO Intelligence Fusion Centre.During World War II, the airfield was used by the U.S. 15th Bombardment Squadron. In 1973, the airfield was officially deactivated before transitioning into its current role as an intelligence center.Construction on the JIAC broke ground April 12, 2024, with onsite work beginning that spring. The facility is scheduled for completion in summer 2028.FOILED TERROR PLOT AT BOMBER BASE SIGNALS WIDER THREAT TO US MILITARY INSTALLATIONS: EXPERTA 2024 Defense Department release described the base development as part of the department’s overall European Infrastructure Consolidation efforts.”It will combine 20 facilities and over 1,000 DIA personnel into one location. Among others, it will host members of the NATO Intelligence Fusion Centre, Battlefield Information Collection and Exploitation System, U.S. Africa Command, U.S. European Command and U.S. Air Force elements in a cross-agency, multi-mission collaboration.”At the time, Defense Intelligence Agency Deputy Director Suzanne White said the facility would enable “the U.S. and allies’ shared mission of ‘outpacing our strategic competitors and addressing threats together wherever they may arise.’”The Defense Department designed the project with a two-stage procurement strategy, allowing stakeholder agencies to provide feedback and streamline scheduling requirements.Following the intrusion, U.S. European Command praised the swift British response.US PULLS ALL BOMBERS FROM KEY UK BASE AFTER SUSPECTED IRAN-LINKED TERROR PLOT”While we assess the global security posture, U.S. forces remain at the highest state of readiness,” the command said in a statement.”We would also express our gratitude to the UK for the close partnership with U.S. forces on matters of security.”British counterterrorism officials cautioned against drawing premature conclusions about possible espionage or terrorist motives.”We’re very aware of the recent heightened interest and concern around military sites,” Counterterrorism Policing London commander Helen Flanagan said.Flanagan added that investigators have not established a connection between the Molesworth breach and recent security concerns at RAF Fairford, another British base used by U.S. strategic bombers.”We are keeping an open mind at this stage and inquiries are very much ongoing,” she said.Fox News Digital has reached out to the Pentagon and the CIA for comment.

Luka Dončić heads into the 2026-27 NBA season as the lone star in Los Angeles, as LeBron James starts a new chapter with the Philadelphia 76ers.Before this dynamic duo parted ways, many believed the Lakers would be adding another Larry O’Brien Trophy to its storied trophy case, but that never came to fruition.Dončić, though, believes last season it could’ve happened — if it weren’t for something he feels he’s at fault for.CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGEOn April 2, the Lakers owned a 16-2 record in a stretch where they looked unstoppable. They were facing the reigning NBA-champion Oklahoma City Thunder in a litmus test of sorts, especially for Dončić, who had been playing extremely well for the Lakers.In fact, Dončić was playing for a potential MVP award.However, the Thunder took the red-hot Lakers to the woodshed, defeating them 139-96. But that wasn’t the only loss the Lakers would have on the night.Dončić said he felt a hamstring tweak in the second quarter, but instead of taking himself out in a game that was getting out of hand, he pushed even harder. The decision backfired.In the second half, Dončić started to grab at his hamstring and was eventually taken out of the game. The result for pushing? A Grade 2 hamstring strain that didn’t just force him to miss the final five games of the season — he missed the entire postseason for Los Angeles.THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW– UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!”When it comes to my spirit of trying to win, I am just stubborn,” Dončić told Sports Illustrated in an interview. ” I felt a little bit in the first half that I should have just stopped. I should have come out. I think we had a team that could compete for the championship. I definitely regret it.”Dončić, for the first time since suffering his injury, admitted he wishes to have done things differently. Of course, hindsight is always 20-20, but perhaps Dončić didn’t even know it would be his last chance to get a ring alongside James had they been healthy together in the postseason.James, who had been the third offensive option on the Lakers when everyone was healthy, with Austin Reaves playing well on that side of the court, had to find a different gear in the playoffs with Dončić out. He was able to lead the way past the Houston Rockets, but the Thunder were too much for Los Angeles again in the second round.If Dončić was healthy, could the Lakers have gone all the way instead of the San Antonio Spurs to take on the New York Knicks in the Finals? Unfortunately for Dončić and the rest of the franchise, we’ll never know.

Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El-Sayed traded personal attacks and accusations during a heated Michigan U.S. Senate debate Thursday night, clashing over everything from affordability, the war in Iran and U.S. support for Israel to their respective financial dealings and personal backgrounds.The contentious showdown in Grand Rapids marked the first time the two candidates faced off onstage ahead of November’s closely watched election, after Rogers declined to participate in a debate last month hosted by FOX 2 Detroit, citing concerns about the moderator’s impartiality.At the top of Thursday’s debate, what began as a discussion about affordability quickly devolved into personal attacks, with Rogers repeatedly questioning El-Sayed’s medical credentials and accusing him of misleading voters, while El-Sayed accused the former congressman of enriching himself through corporate connections.”He’s lying. So he lied about being a physician. He lied now about being an Egyptian citizen or not being an Egyptian citizen,” Rogers charged during one particularly heated exchange. “That’s a con-man.”EL-SAYED’S SCATHING OBAMA CRITIQUE RESURFACES AHEAD OF JOINT CAMPAIGN RALLYEl-Sayed, who holds a medical degree from Columbia University, rejected the attacks and accused Rogers of attempting to distract voters from issues affecting their everyday lives.”He wanted to make this about him or me. But the question is about you,” El-Sayed responded. “Can you afford your gas? Can you afford your groceries under this guy who’s going to rubber stamp everything Donald Trump tells him to rubber stamp?”The candidates also sparred over their personal finances, with El-Sayed repeatedly accusing Rogers of profiting from corporate relationships after leaving Congress and referencing his Florida property and alleged yacht ownership. Rogers, who denied owning any yachts, countered by questioning El-Sayed’s investments and alleged overseas property holdings in the UAE, while also slamming him for accepting money from billionaires despite simultaneously stumping on not taking money from corporate PACs and getting money out of politics.EL-SAYED GRILLED ON PIKER, ISRAEL AND SOCIALIST TIES AFTER MIKE ROGERS SKIPS SENATE DEBATEThe exchanges became so heated that moderator Rick Albin repeatedly intervened.”Look, here’s the situation. We’ve got dozens of questions we want to get to. You can’t litigate all of these with 14 different rebuttals,” Albin told the candidates. Following a commercial break, Albin remarked that in 30 years of moderating debates, he had never witnessed candidates continue arguing throughout a commercial break. The personal accusations remained constant throughout much of the Thursday night debate, but one of the evening’s sharpest policy disagreements emerged over Israel and Iran.Asked whether he would support providing defensive weapons to Israel if the country were attacked by Iran or another state actor, El-Sayed indicated he would not and reiterated his opposition to using American taxpayer dollars to fund foreign militaries.”I don’t want our tax dollars buying weapons for other countries. I don’t know what’s so hard about that,” El-Sayed said.MICHIGAN STUDENT CONFRONTS EL-SAYED OVER IRAN STANCE IN TENSE EXCHANGE: ‘DO YOU STAND WITH US?’”I think both of them have proven dangerous in their own way. One at risk of attacking us, one getting us into wars we have no business fighting,” he added, referring to Israel and Iran.El-Sayed also declined to identify whether Israel or Iran posed the greater threat to the United States, despite repeated questioning from the moderator.”I think both of them have proven dangerous in their own way,” El-Sayed said. “One at risk of attacking us, one getting us into wars. We have no business fighting.”Rogers, by contrast, indicated he would support providing defensive weapons to Israel and reiterated his support for the Jewish state. He repeatedly accused El-Sayed of having connections to individuals and organizations supportive of terrorist groups as well, allegations that El-Sayed disputed.ABDUL EL-SAYED HITS BACK AT ISRAEL QUESTIONS, SUGGESTS HIS NAME AND FAITH ARE BEHIND PRESS SCRUTINYThe pair also differed on whether the war could come to an end if Iran still maintains the ability to produce a nuclear weapon and continues to exert control over the Strait of Hormuz.El-Sayed blamed the conflict for rising gas prices and accused Rogers of supporting an unnecessary war, arguing that diplomacy could resolve the conflict even if Iran retained the ability to produce nuclear weapons.Rogers argued that Iran’s nuclear capabilities had been significantly diminished and said the war should end, while maintaining that Iran could not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon.On domestic policy, El-Sayed expressed openness to federal price controls on domestically produced oil, arguing that high gasoline prices constituted an emergency.”Look, I definitely think that’s something we should consider,” El-Sayed said.DEMOCRATS FACE ‘DO-OR-DIE’ SPLIT WITH KEY VOTING BLOC IN RAZOR-CLOSE SENATE RACERogers rejected price controls, instead advocating temporary gas tax relief, diesel rebates and a pause on diesel exports.Health care also became a major flash point.El-Sayed defended his Medicare-for-all proposal, insisting that Americans who wanted to retain private insurance could do so. Rogers argued that the proposal would eliminate existing private coverage and impose significant new taxes on families.The debate unfolded against the backdrop of an exceptionally competitive Senate contest.A late-September Fox News poll showed El-Sayed leading Rogers 50% to 49% among likely voters, a statistical dead heat.The candidates are competing for the seat being vacated by retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters, with Republicans hoping to flip the seat and Democrats seeking to maintain their hold on it.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accuses “Cornell 7” of luring, drugging, and raping girl
The Democrats spoke too soon on the lawsuit against seven former Cornell University fraternity brothers over an alleged 2024 gang rape that the District Attorney declined to prosecute due to lack of evidence. 
A former Cornell University student, who remains anonymous under the pseudonym Jane Doe, filed a lawsuit last month against seven Chi Phi fraternity members, claiming she was drugged and gang-raped in October 2024.
As the Gateway Pundit reported, new details on the case have emerged with alleged text messages from Jane Doe obtained by TMZ, where she said she “really liked” being with the men in a text message two days after the encounter. She further slammed other students who were gossiping about the orgy, writing, “anything anyone has to say about the [gangbang] is out of their jurisdiction.”
“I don’t think we should feel any shame for the part. our body our choice [as f*ck],” she further wrote. She even admitted to voluntarily taking ketamine and snorting the drug off one male’s penis.
It wasn’t until more than two weeks later, and after she was uninvited from one of the fraternity’s parties, that she reported the incident as a rape to the police.

WHOA: “Our Body Our Choice ASF” – Cornell Jane Doe Texts Frat Bro She “Really Liked” Gangbang but Caught “Heat” in Campus Gossip, Says Snorting Ketamine Off P*nis Was “Insane/Jaw Dropping”

The whole scene is degenerate and, quite frankly, disgusting. The fraternity brothers shouldn’t be admired or heroized, but they also shouldn’t be demonized as rapists or doxxed if they didn’t rape anybody.
But Democratic politicians were quick to jump on the issue to further their anti-male agenda.
While speaking at a “Students vs. Billionaires” town hall hosted by More Perfect University late last month in New York, Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tried to capitalize on the moment with made-up facts from the case.
“Seven men drugged and gang raped a 20-year-old woman,” she claimed. She also said the girl, who admitted to voluntarily showing up at the frat house after drinking, was “lured into” the house, then “drugged with ketamine.”
“They then posted to a group chat that she was incapacitated, and seven men took turns gang raping her for seven hours,” she added.
WATCH:

This didn’t age well.
Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) also tore into Cornell University last week over its response to the incident.
“I’m a Cornell alum. I also represent places like Michigan State, and we know what it’s like when institutions fail women,” she said, calling on the university to “step up and treat this with the seriousness they should have treated it two years ago.”
“I don’t know all the details. I just know there was, again, a text chain that showed a large number of young men talking about assaulting a woman, and that text chain was presented to that woman, and like they got the equivalent of not even a slap on the wrist in some cases,” she added. “To me, like yes, I’m a Cornell grad. I’m also someone who represents an institution that failed women for years.”
She then accused the fraternity of “violently assaulting a woman.”
There was a group chat on Snapchat, but there is no publicly available evidence that they discussed “assaulting” the woman or that their sexual conduct was not consensual. Additionally, two of the men were expelled from the university, two were suspended, one was barred from campus after graduating, and the other two were ordered to write reflection papers and to study sexual harassment, social media use and bystander intervention.

They should be sued for defamation if this case is resolved with a finding of innocence for the seven accused fraternity brothers.
Currently, New York Governor Kathy Hochul is trying to revive a criminal case against the seven accused fraternity brothers, years after the local DA declined to prosecute the alleged assault. New York Attorney General Letitia James, who already publicly declared that the boys are guilty, will lead the investigation as a special prosecutor.
When announcing James’ appointment as the special prosecutor, Hochul also claimed that Jane Doe was “literally gang-raped while intoxicated.” She further advocated for changing the law by closing the “loophole” that makes a woman accountable for choices made while voluntarily intoxicated.
“It should not matter whether they chose to use drugs or alcohol,” she said, adding that she will work with the New York legislature to make it so that any woman can claim she was raped if she was under the influence, even if she consented.

Emotional Reunion: USS Abraham Lincoln Finally Pulls Into San Diego After Record Deployment

The US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln has finally returned to port in San Diego after spending over ten months at sea – most of that time being engaged in war with Iran as part of Trump’s Operation Epic Fury.

It made a badly needed port call in Thailand last month before traversing the Pacific Ocean to get back to its home port. The carrier spent a record 265 consecutive days at sea, and over 300 days in total on the deployment.

Via AP: Sailors stand aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier returns to Naval Air Station North Island after deployment Thursday, Oct. 8, 2026, in Coronado, CalifThe plight of the Lincoln carrier and its crew of some 5,000 sailors and Marines grabbed international headlines for months, given reports of substandard living conditions, food and supply shortages, and mental health crises which led to attempted suicides among servicemembers.

The Navy later acknowledged some of the problems, such as resupply and logistics challenges, amid an avalanche of stories that included dangerous hygiene challenges and derelict facilities.

In late September, acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao informed Congress that eight sailors in the USS Lincoln’s carrier strike group attempted suicide during the lengthy and strained deployment.

US War Secretary Pete Hegseth visited the carrier on Wednesday when it docked, and in a ceremony awarded crew with the Presidential Unit Citation, the highest military award which can be bestowed on a unit.

Emotional reunions with families after grueling deployment:

It’s an emotional day in Coronado, California, as hundreds of families prepare to reunite with loved ones who were aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, which has been at sea for more than 300 days. Nearly 5,000 service members were aboard the Lincoln, which has been supporting the U.S. war against Iran. Its deployment included a record-setting stretch of uninterrupted time at sea. “Thank God they’re home. Thank God it’s over and nothing by happiness from all these people,” one mother told @CarterEvans.

He has resisted the constant criticism related to the Lincoln, which some reports and Congressman held up as “a symbol of dysfunction or a symbol of low morale or a symbol of a failed mission.” Hegseth said in his remarks aboard the ship:

“There were a few folks in the media who tried to turn the USS Abraham Lincoln into some sort of a symbol, a symbol of dysfunction, or a symbol of low morale, or a symbol of a failed mission,” Hegseth said.

“When I talk to your leadership,” he added, “I know it’s the exact opposite.”

The Lincoln departed its San Diego home base on Nov. 21, 2025, on what was supposed to be a seven-month deployment. 

Sailors meeting their recently born children for first time:

A sailor’s wife arrived to welcome home her husband from the USS Abraham Lincoln’s historic deployment, with their 10-week-old son in her arms. Mackenzie said they’d planned the pregnancy around her husband’s return, and “he’s finally going to get to meet his son” after the carrier’s extended tour in the Middle East.
— CBS News (@CBSNews) October 8, 2026
After departing, the carrier made a mere one-day stop in Guam two weeks before Christmas. “[It] was so brief that much of the crew likely never went ashore,” observed the War Zone’s Ian Ellis-Jones.

Typically, a carrier crew might expect a port call every 30 to 45 days, with each break spanning around 3 to 5 days.

Authentic Christianity has always made powerful people uncomfortable. Ask NFL Hall of Famer, Super Bowl champion, and outspoken Christian Tony Dungy.
In a short preview of an interview with sports journalist and former ESPN anchor Sage Steele — a preview posted Wednesday to the social media platform X — Dungy indicated that he “kinda knew” NBC would not bring him back for another season as an analyst on the network’s “Sunday Night Football” studio show, in part because of his Christian views.
“There were things that they didn’t want me to talk about,” Dungy said in a tone of resignation, adding that “they knew who I was when I got hired” and “it is what it is.”
Steele then noted that it seemed from the outside that NBC parted ways with Dungy over his pro-life principles.
The legendary former player and coach responded with a chuckle.
“There are some things that, I guess, on TV, especially, they want you to be careful because they want to attract everybody. They wanna have an audience of everyone. They don’t always appreciate you speaking about your faith.”
In other words, Dungy effectively confirmed Steele’s suspicion without saying it directly. He also indicated that he regretted nothing.
“But for me, I’m always gonna do that,” he said of honestly discussing his Christian beliefs, “and I’m gonna try to do it in a respectful way, but people are gonna know that I’m a Christian, so, that part is never gonna leave.”
The Hall of Famer also stated clearly what his public comments and social media posts have made clear for years.
“I am pro-life,” he said, “and I’m not gonna be ashamed to say that.”
The full interview will appear on “The Sage Steele Show” Wednesday, Oct. 14.

Hall-of-fame coach Tony Dungy opens up about getting fired by NBC and the role his Christian faith and pro-life views may have played. FACT: he only discussed his personal beliefs during his personal off time – never once on the air during his 17 years at NBC.
Catch the full conversation next Wednesday 10/14 on The Sage Steele Show.
@TonyDungy
— Sage Steele (@sagesteele) October 7, 2026

For the current season of NBC’s “Sunday Night Football,” former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has joined the program’s studio crew.
Ironically, Dungy spent part of his brief playing career with the Steelers. He even forced a game-clinching fumble in Pittsburgh’s 1978-79 Super Bowl victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
In 1996, Dungy took over as head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Six seasons and four playoff berths later, he moved on to the Indianapolis Colts, where he made the playoffs every year, including a 2006-2007 Super Bowl win over the Chicago Bears, in which he earned a notable distinction as the first black head coach ever to win a Super Bowl.
Notable, that is, to everyone but Dungy.
Prior to that game — now nearly 20 years ago — the sports media made a big fuss over the fact that whoever won the game, either Dungy or Bears head coach Lovie Smith, would earn that distinction.
“More than anything, I’ve said it before, Lovie Smith and I, not only the first two African-Americans, but Christian coaches, showing that you can win doing it the Lord’s way,” Dungy said after winning the championship, according to Bleacher Report. “And we’re more proud of that.”
At the time, Sarah Braunstein of Bleacher Report was outraged. She insisted that Dungy “compartmentalized his identity: He separated his race from his religion — and he privileged the wrong one.”
Braunstein’s harangue continued.
Instead of citing his black predecessors, she added, “Dungy tried to circumvent race and claim that it was more important that he’d won the Super Bowl as a Christian, thus giving credit and power to a group that has no lack of it.”
In other words, Dungy is no stranger to venomous reactions from sports-media figures who were woke even before wokeness was a thing. After all, his outspoken Christianity has always riled up the wicked.
Fortunately, Dungy has never changed. In fact, his X feed remains as Christian as ever.

Dr. Sean McDowell gave the message again this week at Grace Family Church. He addressed the question “If God is real and God is good, then why do bad things happen?”
Many people can’t believe in God because of the suffering they see in the world. How does a Christian answer that question?
His point: Evil is what comes when good gets corrupted. So where does “good” come from? Who decides what’s right and what’s wrong? That standard has to come from God.
God is powerful enough to stop evil and He will—at the end of the world. But God can’t force us to do good and not do anything evil because He has given us free will.
Why would a good God allow pain and suffering? Because we do have free will and sometimes pain can be God’s megaphone to a deaf world.

Pastor Daryl gave the message at Grace Family Church this morning. Finishing the series on evidence and belief in the scripture he asked the question, “What will you do with Jesus?”
Jesus made claims to be the Messiah, the Savior, the Son of God. Do I believe that?
As Christians we are supposed to represent Jesus. We don’t always do that well but that doesn’t change who Jesus is or what He said We have to believe Jesus is perfect in spite of the fact that people who believe in Him aren’t perfect.
— Tony Dungy (@TonyDungy) September 27, 2026

In short, NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” executives might not exactly qualify as the modern equivalent of bloodthirsty Roman emperors, but if those executives did indeed part ways with Dungy on account of his faith, then they have countenanced a milder-yet-still-reprehensible form of persecution.
