    A settlement has been reached in a defamation lawsuit against Fox News and former host Lou Dobbs.

    Venezuelan businessman Majed Khalil filed the lawsuit in 2021 alleging statements made on Dobbs’s social media and by pro-Trump attorney Sidney Powell on Dobbs’s Fox Business show defamed him by accusing the businessman of executing an “electoral 9/11” and helping change ballot counts in voting machines.

    “The 2020 Election is a cyber Pearl Harbor: The leftwing establishment have aligned their forces to overthrow the United States government,” Dobbs wrote in a Twitter post.

    According to Khalil’s complaint, as Powell appeared on one of his shows, the host asked, “You say these four individuals led the effort to rig this election. How did they do it?”

    Dobbs and Fox’s attorney had unsuccessfully moved to have the case dismissed on First Amendment grounds last fall.

    The Hill reported that lawyers for the two parties confirmed they had reached an agreement to resolve the matter, however, the financial terms of the agreement were not specified.

    “This matter has been resolved amicably by both sides,” a Fox News spokesperson said when contacted Sunday by The Hill. “We have no further comment.”

    Fox News network is separately fighting a $1.6 Billion defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems over similar claims about the 2020 election made on its air. Fox has also argued the allegations made by Dominion are protected by the First Amendment.

    “This case is and always has been about the First Amendment protections of the media’s absolute right to cover the news,” the network said in a recent statement about the Dominion case. “Fox will continue to fiercely advocate for the rights of free speech and a free press as we move into the next phase of these proceedings.” 

    The trial, which is slated to begin later this month will feature testimony from high-profile officials such as Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch, Tucker Carlson, and Sean Hannity.

    American Liberty News previously reported that in a letter to Judge Eric M. Davis, lawyers for the cable news behemoth told the judge they intend to make Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Pirro and Sean Hannity available to testify. They also named news anchors Bret Baier and Dana Perino. Additionally, they will call top executives and producers, including CEO Suzanne Scott, President Jay Wallace and Justin Wells, executive producer of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” in its defense.

    Kari Lake Responds to Democrat Opponent’s Baseless Criminal Accusation

    Don’t mess with Kari Lake.

    The TV reporter turned Republican Arizona gubernatorial nominee wasted no time in hitting back at her Democrat opponent Katie Hobbs’ baseless claim she was connected to a break-in at the Democrat’s office.

    The Phoenix Police Department is currently investigating an early Tuesday break-in at Hobbs’ campaign office as a “commercial burglary.” However, despite authorities noting only a few items were taken Hobbs wasted no time before pointing fingers at Lake.

    However, on Thursday authorities confirmed a suspect has been arrested in connection with the burglary.

    According to The Daily Caller, Phoenix police Sgt. Brian Bower didn’t identify what items were stolen from the campaign office.

    “Unfortunately, Katie and so many other elected officials are victims of threats and intimidation tactics like this. Make no mistake — this is a direct result of Kari Lake and fringe Republicans spreading lies and hate and inciting violence — and it is despicable.” The Arizona Democrat Party said while retweeting a message from Hobbs’ official Twitter.

    In photos of the break-in shared by Hobbs’ campaign, the suspect can’t be seen wearing anything distinguishing that points to any political affiliation, let alone a link to Republicans.

    During a Wednesday appearance with CNN, Lake called the accusations from Hobbs’s campaign “despicable” and hit at media for willingly amplifying her baseless lies.

    “That is absolutely absurd. It sounds like a Jussie Smollett part two. You’re going to drag the people through something like this?” Lake said. “You’re letting a woman who has been running a terrible campaign direct you to a story like this? You know she is running a bad campaign.”

    “I can’t believe she would blame my amazing people, blame me for something like that,” Lake said. ‘I don’t even know where her campaign office is. I’m assuming it’s in a basement somewhere, because that’s where she’s been campaigning. You guys are despicable for falling into that trap.”

    “I’m saddened that Hobbs and her camp would try to pin this on us. It’s defamatory and it’s wrong. Her own party is attacking her. She is trying to deflect her abysmal campaign,” Lake added.

    Lake, a political newcomer, has exceeded experts’ expectations as she’s seen unprecedented success throughout her campaign. RealClearPolitics still regards the race as a “toss up” but recent polls show Lake with a distinct edge over her opponent. A Daily Wire/ Trafalgar poll showed Lake with a three-point edge over Hobbs while a Fox 10/ InsiderAdvantage poll reported Lake up 11 points.

    In the Arizona Senate race, the nonpartisan Cook Political Report(CPR) reported it is shifting its rating of the race from “lean Democrat” to “toss up” less than two weeks ahead of Election Day.

    CPR noted the new shift because recent private polling has shown the race between Sen. Mark Kelley (D) and Republican Blake Masters tightening up despite the fact that Democrats are outspending Republicans in the state by a 2-to-1 margin.

    A Princeton University doctoral student who was kidnapped by a militia group in Iraq in 2023 and was held for more than 900 days has been released. 

    President Trump announced on Tuesday Elizabeth Tsurkov, an Israeli and Russian citizen whose sister is an American citizen, is now safe at the U.S. Embassy in Iraq after she had been held captive by the Iran-backed, U.S.-designated terrorist group Kata’ib Hezbollah, Trump said in a Truth Social post. 

    “I will always fight for JUSTICE, and never give up. HAMAS, RELEASE THE HOSTAGES, NOW!” the president wrote, referring to the terrorist organization Hamas that’s holding 48 hostages, 20 of whom are believed to be alive, who were taken during Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel. 

    “My entire family is incredibly happy. We cannot wait to see Elizabeth and give her all the love we have been waiting to share for 903 days,” Tsurkov’s sister Emma said Tuesday in a statement, The Associated Press reported.

    In a statement to CBS News on Tuesday, Princeton President Christopher L. Eisgruber said, “The release of Princeton graduate student Elizabeth Tsurkov brings relief and joy to the University community, and we celebrate that she will be reunited with her family.” 

    “We thank President Trump for securing Elizabeth’s release. We are also grateful to those who worked tirelessly to bring an end to her terrible ordeal, including her family, friends and advocates,” Eisgruber said.

    In addition to her studies at the Ivy League school, Tsurkov was a fellow at the Washington-based think tank New Lines Institute and wrote for New Lines Magazine before her kidnapping.

    Ex-White House Adviser Peter Navarro Reports To Prison

    Ex-Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro reported to a federal prison in Miami on Tuesday afternoon to begin his four-month sentence.

    The Hill has more:

    “They can put me in prison; they can put you in prison,” Navarro said during a parking lot press conference Tuesday just before he reported to the facility. “Make no mistake about that, and make no mistake about this: They are coming after Donald Trump with the same tactics, tools and strategies they used to put me over there today.”

    “If they come for me, they can come for you,” he told a group of reporters.

    On Monday, Navarro’s last-ditch bid to remain free while appealing his contempt of Congress conviction was shot down by U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts in a rare “in-chambers” opinion, a written explanation for his ruling on a case he didn’t refer to the full court for consideration.

    Roberts said he denied Navarro’s application because the ex-Trump White House economic adviser forfeited any argument challenging the district court’s conclusion that executive privilege was not invoked by Trump, citing an appeals court’s decision. 

    “I see no basis to disagree with the determination that Navarro forfeited those arguments in the release proceeding, which is distinct from his pending appeal on the merits,” Roberts said. 

    RNC Candidate Doubles Down On Trump Support After Announcing Campaign

    Lara Trump is all in on a second Trump presidency.

    The current Republican presidential frontrunner’s daughter-in-law vowed Tuesday to spend “every single penny” of Republican National Committee (RNC) funds to reelect him to the White House. 

    Asked by Newsmax host Rob Schmitt what needs to change to make the RNC more competitive, Lara Trump said Tuesday: “The RNC needs to be the leanest, most lethal political fighting machine we’ve ever seen in American history.” 

    “That is the goal over the next nine-and-a-half months. If I am elected to this position, I can assure you, there will not be any more $70,000 — or whatever exorbitant amount of money it was — spent on flowers,” she continued. “Every single penny will go to the No. 1 and the only job of the RNC — that is elected Donald J. Trump as president of the United States and saving this country.” 

    Earlier this week, Trump announced he is endorsing North Carolina GOP chair Michael Whatley, daughter-in-law Lara Trump, and campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita to lead the Republican National Committee (RNC).

    “Lara is an extremely talented communicator and is dedicated to all that MAGA stands for,” the former president said. “She has told me she wants to accept this challenge and would be GREAT!”

    The current RNC chair, Ronna McDaniel, is likely to step down after the South Carolina primary Feb. 24.

    Democrat Senator Demands Fellow Dem ‘Shut Up’ About Biden’s Poll Numbers

    The gloves are off…

    Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman (D) didn’t mince words when he brushed off longtime Democrat strategist James Carville’s concerns over Biden’s recent nosedive in polling.

    Fetterman had an inflammatory response to Carville’s warnings, cursing him out and questioning his relevance in a recent Politico interview.

    “There’s a whole lifetime in politics between now and next November as well. I’m not worried about that. And I’m very vocal about this, too, while there are Democrats that are being very critical about the president. … I’ll use this [as] another opportunity to tell James Carville to shut the fuck up,” Fetterman told Politico regarding Biden’s polling.

    “My man hasn’t been relevant since grunge was a thing,” Fettterman said. “And I don’t know why he believes it’s helpful to say these kinds of things about an incredibly difficult circumstance with an incredibly strong and decent and excellent president. I’ll never understand that.”

    “I really am not worried about that because he is my guy,” Fetterman told Politico. “And he is going to be the Democrats’ guy, and I’m proud to campaign with him.”

    Carville pushed back against the senator’s claims about his lack of relevance and said that other Democrat senators “apparently haven’t gotten the memo yet,” Politico reported.

    “[Fetterman’s] colleague Sen. Casey asked me to host a fundraiser with him last week,” Carville told Politico. “Sen. Brown asked me to go to Cleveland to campaign with him.”

    CNN’s Liberal Agenda Leads To Major Layoffs And Reorganization: Report

    The notoriously liberal CNN news network is reportedly planning to lay off a large number of employees as part of a significant reorganization of its news gathering process and the introduction of a digital subscription service later this year.

    Sweeping Changes at CNN

    In a move that many see as a desperate attempt to stay relevant, CNN is looking to “streamline” its story pitching process, lean more heavily on video content, and more effectively monetize its digital user base. This comes as no surprise to those who have long criticized the network for its biased and often misleading coverage.

    Key Developments:

    • Massive Layoffs: Over 100 journalists are set to lose their jobs. This is part of a significant overhaul aimed at cutting costs and revamping the network’s strategy.
    • Digital Focus: CNN plans to launch a subscription-based digital news product, hoping to cash in on its dwindling audience.
    • Increased Streaming Investment: The network will also boost its investment in free, ad-supported streaming services in an effort to attract more viewers.

    Leadership’s Statement

    CNN’s leadership has been transparent about the impending changes. Thompson, a key figure in the network, informed employees about the upcoming layoffs and restructuring. He emphasized the network’s shift towards more video content and digital monetization.

    Thompson’s Remarks:

    • “Wherever possible, we’ve closed open positions rather than target currently occupied roles. However, some of our colleagues will learn today that their jobs are being eliminated or are at risk,” Thompson wrote.
    • This message highlights the tough decisions CNN is making in an attempt to stay afloat amid financial struggles and a declining viewer base.

    Historical Context

    This isn’t the first time CNN has faced major layoffs. In late 2022, under former President Chris Licht, the network laid off scores of workers while reorganizing the newsroom and making significant changes to its programming. These past efforts to revamp the network did little to curb the continuing decline in viewership and trust.

    The Future of CNN

    With these drastic measures, CNN’s future remains uncertain. The network, which has long been a mouthpiece for liberal agendas, now finds itself at a crossroads. Can it reinvent itself and regain the trust of its audience, or will it continue to fade into irrelevance?

    Report: Kari Lake To Forfeit Defense In Defamation Case

    On Tuesday, Kari Lake’s legal team moved to forfeit a defamation case against her.

    According to The Hill, Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer (R) sued Lake last year in his personal capacity, claiming Lake defamed him after she refused to concede her 2022 Arizona gubernatorial defeat and alleged election fraud.

    The lawsuit claims Lake consistently and systemically lied about Richer’s actions as recorder, causing him to receive harassment and numerous threats to his life. Richer added that Lake claimed without evidence that he stuffed ballot boxes with 300,000 invalid votes and used his role as recorder to make the ballot unclear for voters.

    “For the last seven months, I have been subjected to constant harassment, intimidation, and threats to my and my family’s lives because the defendants in this case were spreading falsehoods about me, my work, and our elections,” Richer said in a statement when the lawsuit was filed last year.

    The court filing Tuesday does not contest Richer’s claims, and requests an accelerated hearing to determine damages. 

    Richer held up the filing as an admission of guilt.

    “Won’t defend / can’t defend,” he wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “I’ll get my due. But not the millions of people she lied to.” 

    “Not the thousands of people who donated ‘to continue the fight.’ Not the people who have gone to jail because they so strongly believed Kari’s lies,” he continued. “Those people won’t get their due.”

    Lake pushed back on the filing as a rejection to participate in what she described as a “political witch hunt” and a “frivolous” lawsuit, refusing to admit culpability.

    “Washington, D.C. operates on blackmail and bribes. Since they can’t blackmail or bribe me, they’ve resorted to filing a punishing lawsuit to try to stop me and bleed me dry,” she said in a video message. “They’re threatening to take everything I own. What they don’t realize is even if they leave me, my husband and children homeless and penniless, that won’t stop us.”

    “By participating in this lawsuit, it would only serve to legitimize this perversion of our legal system and allow bad actors to interfere in our upcoming election,” she continued. “So I won’t be taking part.”

    Trump Teases ‘Very Big Announcement’ on Nov. 15

    During a Monday evening rally in Ohio, former President Trump declared he plans to make a “big announcement” next Tuesday.

    “I’m going to be making a very big announcement on Tuesday, Nov. 15, at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla.,” Trump said toward the end of a rally near Dayton, Ohio, where he was campaigning for a host of candidates in the state, including Republican Senate candidate J.D. Vance, the night before the midterm elections.

    “We want nothing to distract from the importance of tomorrow,” Trump said.

    Previous reports indicated Trump was eyeing Nov.14th as the potential date he would make his presidential campaign announcement.

    Trump’s latest message comes amid heightened anticipation that he’s planning to announce his third presidential campaign after Republicans re-take control of Congress.

    Advisers in Trump’s inner circle have expressed their expectation that Trump wait to make the announcement until after the midterms but some early rumors indicated Trump strongly considered breaking the news Monday night while campaigning for Ohio Republican candidate J.D Vance.
