Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes confirmed that Rudy Giuliani was indicted in connection to the 2020 election case centered around former President Trump.
"The final defendant was served moments ago. @RudyGiuliani nobody is above the law," Mayes, a Democrat, wrote on X late Friday, confirming Giuliani is the 18th defendant charged in the state's fake electors case.
Mayes responded to a since-deleted post by Giuliani that read, "If authorities can’t find me by tomorrow morning: 1. They must dismiss the indictment; 2. They must concede they can’t count votes," FOX 10 Phoenix reported. The former New York City mayor was celebrating his 80th birthday over the weekend.
Sharing photos of party-goers and 80th birthday balloons in another post Saturday, Giuliani wrote to his 1.7 million followers, "FAKE NEWS ALERT: Contrary to reports from journalists who weren't there, our early 80th birthday celebration wasn't ‘ruined’ or interrupted. It was an incredible night w/ friends, including Steve Bannon & Roger Stone. It felt like a strategy session on how to save America!"
Giuliani political adviser Ted Goodman, however, confirmed in a statement reported by the Associated Press that Giuliani was served Friday night after his 80th birthday celebration as he was walking to the car.
"We look forward to full vindication soon," Goodman said in a statement Saturday.
The attorney general’s spokesman Richie Taylor said in an email to the Associated Press on Saturday that Giuliani faces the same charges as the other defendants, including conspiracy, fraud and forgery charges.
The indictment alleges that Giuliani "pressured" Arizona legislators and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to change the outcome of Arizona’s election and that he was responsible for encouraging Republican electors in Arizona and six other contested states to vote for Trump.Taylor said an unredacted copy of the indictment will be released Monday. He said Giuliani is expected to appear in court Tuesday unless he is granted a delay by the court.
Mark Meadows, Trump’s former White House chief of staff, is among others who have been indicted in the case.
Neither Meadows nor Giuliani were named in the redacted grand jury indictment released earlier because they had not been served with it, but they were readily identifiable based on descriptions in the document. The Arizona attorney general’s office said Wednesday that Meadows had been served and confirmed that he was charged with the same counts as the other named defendants, including conspiracy, fraud and forgery charges.
With the indictments, Arizona becomes the fourth state where allies of the former president have been charged with using false or unproven claims about voter fraud related to the election.
Among the defendants are 11 Arizona Republicans who submitted a document to Congress declaring that Trump won in Arizona in the 2020 presidential election — including a former state GOP chair, a 2022 U.S. Senate candidate and two sitting state lawmakers. The other defendants are Mike Roman, who was Trump’s director of Election Day operations, and four attorneys accused of organizing an attempt to use fake documents to persuade Congress not to certify Biden’s victory: John Eastman, Christina Bobb, Boris Epshteyn and Jenna Ellis.
Trump himself was not charged but was referred to as an unindicted co-conspirator.
Giuliani faces other legal proceedings, and a bankruptcy judge this past week said he was "disturbed" about the status of the case and for missed deadlines to file financial disclosure reports. Giuliani filed for bankruptcy after being ordered to pay $148 million to two former election workers for spreading allegedly false information about their role in the 2020 election.
Giuliani was also indicted last year by a grand jury in Georgia.
The woman reported that she was sitting outside the building when an unknown man approached her screaming for help, the Vancouver Police Department said at the time.
She told police that she thought the man had punched her, but saw blood and realized she had been stabbed. The woman was taken to an area hospital and received treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
Aguilar was being held on $500,000 bail for the assault and an motor vehicle theft, according to online jail records.
A man matching the suspect’s description was also involved in a separate incident that occurred Monday in one of the college parking lots, although Aguilar has not been charged in connection with that incident.
Aguilar is also facing charges from previous incidents that include disorderly conduct, residential burglary and malicious mischief.
President Biden will deliver the commencement address at Morehouse College on Sunday as protests continue to disrupt graduation ceremonies across the country.
Biden's speech at the historically Black college is an opportunity to shore up his flagging support among Black voters ahead of the 2024 election. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday that Biden had been working on his speech with senior advisers for several days.
The speech is "an opportunity to lift up and to give an important message to our future leaders," Jean-Pierre said.
"He’s been working on these remarks for the past couple days, I can assure you, with his senior advisers. He’s taking this incredibly seriously," Jean-Pierre added. "It will meet the moment. And I think you will hear directly from the president on how he sees obviously the future of this country, and also the community that they represent."
The commencement comes just days after Biden announced $16 billion in new funding for historically Black colleges and universities across the country. He mentioned Morehouse by name in remarks about the funding initiative last week.
"Morehouse was founded after our nation’s Civil War to help prepare Black Americans who were formerly enslaved to enter the ministry, earn an education and usher them from slavery to freedom," Biden said. "The founders of Morehouse understood something fundamental. Education is linked to freedom. Because to be free means to have something that no one can ever take away from you."
Biden's appearance comes as anti-Israel protests have overtaken campuses across the country. Morehouse itself has also seen its share of unrest. The student body is divided even about Biden's appearance at graduation. Dissatisfied students are reportedly attempting to organize a silent protest during Biden's speech that would see students turn their backs on the president, according to NPR.
"I think it's kind of insulting that our star alumnus is Dr. King, but Biden has been on a tirade in the Middle East," one student, DeAngelo Fletcher, told the outlet. "Bringing him here — especially during an election year ... to get the young Black vote especially, it's kind of insulting."
Hundreds of Morehouse alumni also signed a letter calling on the college to rescind its invitation to Biden earlier this year. Students and faculty at the college have accused Biden of assisting Israeli "genocide" against Palestinians in Gaza during the war that was sparked by the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack.
Four years ago, many high-school graduates missed out on their traditional ceremonies due to the pandemic — and this year, some of those same students have lost the chance to have their college graduations amid ongoing political protests.
Columbia University and the University of Southern California both announced the cancellation of their traditional "main stage" commencements for 2024.
Other colleges such as the University of Michigan had their ceremonies disrupted by anti-Israel protesters.
"Regardless of how one feels about the recent protests, it is important to recognize that graduating students and their families and friends were swept up in the wake of unrest on college campuses," Zachary Ginder, a psychological consultant in Riverside, California, told Fox News Digital.
As they mourn the loss of this celebratory event, some grads may experience "milestone FOMO" — leaving them feeling disappointed, angry, depressed and anxious about their futures as they prepare to enter the real world.
Here's what's important to know.
Milestone FOMO (fear of missing out) refers to the fear of missing significant life events or milestones that others may be experiencing or achieving.
"It can also be described as a type of envy where people are seeing their friends reaching major life milestones, like getting married or buying a house, and this contributes to the person feeling left behind or not on par with their peers," Nicholette Leanza, a therapist at LifeStance Health in Ohio, told Fox News Digital.
For graduates, experiencing milestone FOMO may lead to a reduced sense of accomplishment, she said.
"We all like to have a reward after hard work, and the pomp and circumstance of a graduation ceremony can be seen as the reward for one’s hard work," Leanza said.
"So if graduates are not allowed that celebration of their accomplishment, it can feel like all their hard work was diminished and that they lost out on that rite of passage."
For many, a graduation ceremony marks not only the culmination of years of hard work and dedication, but also a pivotal transition into adulthood and the next phase of life, Ginder noted.
"Missing out on this milestone event can lead to feelings of grief and loss, sadness, disappointment, and a sense of incompleteness for those involved," he said.
"It isn’t too hard to imagine the distress some likely felt in working for four or more years toward a goal, only to have the culmination and official public recognition dissolve just days before the event."
Students may feel "robbed of the opportunity" to celebrate their achievements with classmates, teachers and loved ones, Ginder said.
"The absence of closure and the lack of a tangible marker for this important transition can make it harder to process the end of this life chapter and move forward," he added.
For graduates unable to have a ceremony, experts suggested four ways to process and overcome the ensuing emotions.
"Sadness, anger, disappointment and frustration are all normal responses to loss," Ginder told Fox News Digital.
"Graduates should allow time to process these emotions, while also keeping in perspective that life is a journey with lots of ups and downs."
Graduation, for many, will not define their college career, Ginder pointed out.
"Refocusing on what has been gained, friendships and positive memories can help folks move past the acute emotional challenges of missing graduation."
Students working through this disappointment may have negative thoughts such as, "I'll never get to experience this milestone," or "My achievements don't matter anymore," according to Ginder.
"When these thoughts bubble to the surface, graduates can try replacing them with more balanced thoughts, such as, ‘I can find other ways to celebrate my hard work,’ or ‘my accomplishments are still valuable, even without a traditional ceremony.’"
"Organizing a more personal graduation ceremony where close friends and family celebrate your accomplishment can be a wonderful way to mark this special occasion," Leanza said.
"Dressing up in full graduation regalia, having loved ones give inspirational speeches, and even walking across a symbolic or makeshift stage could help the graduate acknowledge the achievement."
If the campus is nearby, Ginder suggests visiting with family and friends, taking photos, and sharing and appreciating all the good things that occurred during schooling to help ease the pain.
"Human nature is to focus on the negative, and while graduation is an important milestone, it's not the end of your journey," Ginder said.
While acknowledging the loss, graduates can also "hold space for gratitude" for what has been gained and the good things that exist in the present moment, he added.
"If this is difficult, try taking action toward the future, like setting short- and long-term goals and shifting focus to the next steps in life," Ginder advised.
Family members should allow graduates to feel sad and disappointed by the loss, according to Leanza.
"Encourage them to talk about it and give them your full attention as they share their feelings with you," she suggested.
Encouraging acceptance can also help the graduate process emotions, Leanza said.
"Accepting something doesn’t mean you have to like it — it just means that you accept the facts of the situation," she said.
"This acceptance enables you to put energy toward coping with the situation instead of trying to avoid or deny it."
Helping recent graduates plan their next steps — like updating their resumes and job searching — can be another way of showing them support, she said.
Loved ones may also help to find another way to celebrate and recognize the graduate’s achievement, Leanza said, such as organizing a surprise graduation ceremony or party to help raise their spirits.
Parents and family can help, said Ginder, by validating graduates’ feelings without minimizing or dismissing them, finding alternative ways to celebrate or acknowledge the accomplishment of graduating, and offering support and encouragement.
"Everyone handles loss differently," he said. "While some may not consider it a significant loss, others may find it very difficult to get past."
For graduates who find it difficult to move past this issue — and if it begins to interfere with daily functioning and mood — it may be advisable to seek professional help from a licensed clinician, Ginder said.
Editor's note: This is the second in a series of profiles of potential running mates for presidential candidate Donald Trump on the 2024 Republican Party ticket.
A possible frontrunner on former President Trump's running mate shortlist has a major "downside" that could make his potential selection a bad bet, multiple campaign and election experts told Fox News Digital.
The horse race among those hoping to be named Trump's running mate continued this week. Those widely believed to be on the shortlist made the rounds on various media outlets and at events alongside the former president, including North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, who some say lacks a "wow factor."
"He's not a known commodity. He's not somebody that, I think, instinctively would fire up the base or fire up Republicans," GOP strategist Dave Polyansky said, citing concerns over Burgum's lack of name recognition despite running in the Republican presidential primaries last year.
He argued that, although firing up the base wasn't the main purpose in a choice for running mate, there was no "overwhelming cry" from Republicans across the country for Burgum to be the pick.
"Again, that shouldn't necessarily be a decider, but there's no wow factor to him," Polyansky said.
Veteran Republican strategist Karl Rove agreed Burgum's name recognition was also a problem and that he's "from a small, heavily Republican state" when the battle for the presidency could come down to who wins over voters in the battlegrounds of Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Wisconsin.
Rove also predicted Burgum's wealth could "make him a target for the left."
Republican strategist Erin Perrine told Fox "the downsides to Burgum’s selection are not deeply controversial given other possible selections the former president could make" but agreed with Rove that Burgum hailing from a reliably red state with a small population wouldn't impact the electoral map.
"Some might argue that other potential candidates could bring more expertise, higher visibility or diversity to the ticket, leading to doubts about Burgum’s suitability as a VP nominee," she said. She added Burgum declaring last year he wouldn't serve as Trump's running mate, as well as the possibility he might face intensified media scrutiny regarding his absence from North Dakota over the past year, would likely complicate his selection.
"It doesn’t take much for the media to pounce, and campaigning as a sitting governor has proven difficult for others running for other offices before," she said.
Others were more blunt when it came to the possibility of Burgum's selection, including a source close to the Trump campaign who said there was "more downside than upside there," citing the concerns over his name recognition and being from North Dakota.
"If I had to rank him, I'd put him in the top five, maybe five or six, but not any higher," the source said.
GOP pollster Scott Rasmussen simply told Fox, "I see no reason why Gov. Burgum should even be in the discussion other than media speculation. The fact that Trump featured him at the recent rally is interesting, but I suspect the governor will play some other role in the campaign."
Burgum, despite those concerns, does have a number of strong qualities experts said could provide a boost to Trump, including his record as the chief executive of a state and as a business leader.
"Burgum is a successful two-term governor of a major energy- and agricultural-producing state who’s championed education reform, tax cuts and government reform," Rove said. "He’s also built a tech company — Great Plains Software — in the Midwest heartland, which he sold to Microsoft, becoming a top executive with the company before entering politics."
Polyansky said one of the most "compelling" reasons to have Burgum's name on the ticket was because of his television presence.
"He's proven himself over the last month to be a great, very agile and pretty effective communicator," he said. "Burgum's shown that he can do some good in terms of his ability to communicate and drive a message."
Perrine said Burgum's "no-drama, no-nonsense demeanor has boosted the economy and safety of North Dakota," and that being a "businessman-turned-governor" was "a mirror to Trump that the former president would appreciate."
The source close to Trump's campaign praised the governor as "a vote getter."
"He's a decent man," the source said.
A number of other big names have also been floated to join Trump on the Republican ticket, including South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Sanders, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Ohio Sen. JD Vance and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.
Trump, who spent most of his week sitting on trial in a New York City courtroom while President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are free to hit the campaign trail, is still weighing his running mate options. He suggested last week he might even wait until the July Republican National Convention in Milwaukee to name his pick.
Fox News Digital has reached out to representatives of Burgum for comment.
Security experts are increasingly urging U.S. churches to increase their safety measures after two near misses involving attempted shootings at houses of worship in different parts of the country this month. Interest in doing so among congregations is also on the rise, they say.
Last week, a Pennsylvania man jumped out of his seat at the front of a church and tackled an armed man who walked up to the pulpit and tried to gun down a pastor mid-sermon. A hero in the front row, Clarence McCallister, tackled and disarmed him. Then, on Saturday, a gun-toting teen walked up to a Louisiana church during a First Communion Mass for dozens of children. Parishioners detained him outside and called police.
In February, an armed woman barged into Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, with her 7-year-old in tow and opened fire. Off-duty officers on scene put an end to the assault, but her child was struck in the head in the crossfire.
Even the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recommend churches and other places of worship take preparedness measures around the year.
Measures include creating a plan and sharing it with congregants in case of an emergency, coordinating with local law enforcement and undergoing active shooter response training.

FEMA offers a security self-assessment checklist on its website. The government also offers grants for nonprofit security to cover the costs of physical safety measures. Local governments throughout the country offer safety training programs for houses of worship.
But experts tell Fox News Digital churches are increasingly turning to security guards, whether armed or unarmed, and either volunteers or licensed professionals.

From megachurches to tiny independent places of worship, interest in improving safety measures is up across the board, said David Katz, CEO of Global Security Group, a private firm founded by former federal agents, senior NYPD officers and FDNY leaders in the aftermath of 9/11.
He said armed volunteer security at houses of worship is not a new idea, especially in Jewish synagogues, but the demand is increasing as more and more sites explore their options.
Katz, a former special agent with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), began training volunteers at his own Texas synagogue amid fears of violence following the invasion of Israel by Hamas terrorists and antisemitic attacks in the U.S. Now, he says, he's working with churches, too.
"Most synagogues and churches simply don't have the budget to hire full-time armed security," he said. So even though his firm provides it, he's also offering training so that worshippers can protect themselves.
Many are dedicated to the task and have a lot on the line if a lone wolf attacks.
"I've had people tell me, ‘I’ve been anti-gun my whole life, and I just bought my first gun. It's time to change the way I vote, and it's time to change my thoughts about self-protection,'" he said. "They're buying guns without training, so we're going to fill the gap."
But only some states, including Texas, allow churches to form their own security teams of parishioners, he said.
"You could never get away with that in New York City," he said.
Pat Brosnan, founder and chairman of Brosnan Risk Consultants, which provides threat assessments and armed and unarmed guards, says widely varying laws in communities around the country influence what measures churches and other houses of worship can implement.
The security industry faces stringent regulations, training requirements, high insurance costs and other barriers that can complicate an all-volunteer security team, he said.
But just the visual of a guard "standing tall" at the front door in itself makes a difference, Brosnan told Fox News Digital.
"Most of these guys are cowards – it's important to recognize that," he said. "They may talk about meeting their maker and all these other things that they presuppose is gonna occur when they die, if they die at the hands of the police or anyone else. But most of them are cowards. They don’t wanna die. That’s why deterrence, in my view, works more often than not."
In cases where the cost is prohibitive, he said, some churches choose to have guards posted during service hours and special events only.
"It's somewhat rare, but I've seen a little bit more now … where individuals at a church basically gang up and disarm a guy. We saw that at the Super Bowl parade, and we've seen it many times," he said. "It's very dangerous, but sometimes necessary. I always urge caution without training, but the reality is sometimes there's no option left."
He also praised the actions of the good Samaritans like McCallister and the parents outside the Louisiana church who saved lives in a series of recent incidents – while urging caution.
"We salute those guys," Brosnan said. "When civilians act in a brave way to save lives, it's outstanding."
A group of at least 75 anti-Israel agitators staged an encampment at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday evening.
According to a statement by Drexel University President John Fry, 75 pro-Palestinian protesters set up an encampment on campus at the Korman Quad on Saturday evening.
Fry said the individuals participated in the Philly Palestine Coalition’s Nakba Day march to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Drexel Police Public Safety is monitoring the encampment to "ensure that it is peaceful and non-disruptive" and that participants "will behave respectfully toward one another," Fry said.
"We will be prepared to respond quickly to any disruptive or threatening behavior by anyone," Fry said.
The president of the Philadelphia university reiterated that they would "not tolerate" campus destruction, harassment or intimidation of students, faculty or staff and any speech that is "explicitly racist, antisemitic, or Islamophobic."
"Nor will we allow anyone who is not a member of the Drexel community to trespass into our buildings and student residences," Fry said.
The protest at Drexel University came just one day after 19 individuals were arrested at the nearby University of Pennsylvania.
Police confirmed to Fox News Digital that there were 19 arrests following the protest at the university's Fisher Bennett Hall.
According to the university, six students were among those arrested, while 12 people were cited for failure to disperse, among other charges. Twelve individuals were later released, FOX 29 reported.
Zac Brown was reportedly granted a temporary restraining order against estranged wife Kelly Yazdi after suing her over an Instagram post.
The 45-year-old filed a lawsuit in Georgia Friday requesting "an emergency temporary restraining order, injunctive relief, and damages arising out of several past and threatened violations" of a confidentiality agreement that Yazdi had signed, Fox News Digital confirmed.
On Saturday, Entertainment Tonight reported that Brown had been granted the restraining order against Yazdi, which would require her to remove an Instagram post that he claimed had violated the confidentiality agreement and damaged his reputation.
The "Keep Me In Mind" singer also asked that the order prevent Yazdi from "making any defamatory, false, untrue, or otherwise damaging statements" about him, his family and members of the Zac Brown Band, according to documents obtained by NBC.
The documents did not indicate which of Yazdi's Instagram posts Brown was seeking to have removed from her account, according to NBC.
The lawsuit said Yazdi had signed the confidentiality agreement during her employment with the Zac Brown Band from August 2022 to February 2024.
Fox News Digital reached out to Yazdi and a representative for Brown for comment.
Brown told NBC in a statement he "took the steps necessary to enforce an agreement between us to maintain personal and business affairs in confidence and to protect my family from online harassment and speculation."
The musician said his "only hope is for us to keep private matters private and to move forward with the mutual respect we had agreed to show one another when we parted ways."
In December, Brown and Yazdi announced they had separated after four months of marriage.
"We are in the process of divorce. Our mutual respect for one another remains," they said in a joint statement to Fox News Digital.
"We wish each other the best and will always appreciate our time together. As we navigate this personal matter, we simply request privacy during this time."
The former couple married in August in Georgia and hosted a wedding celebration in November at a bowling alley, sources told Fox News Digital.
Brown, 45, proposed to Yazdi in 2022 on a vacation in Hawaii. A source shared with People magazine the proposal was "very intimate, and the couple has kept it very private."
The musician was previously married to ex-wife Shelly Brown for 12 years before announcing their divorce in 2018. They have five children.
Brown is the lead singer of his country music band. The three-time Grammy Award-winning group has released seven studio albums, two live albums and one greatest hits album with massive commercial success from the hit song "Chicken Fried."
Their first album, "The Foundation," is certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, and its follow-ups, "You Get What You Give" and "Uncaged," both went platinum.
Yazdi's website says she is a "SAG-AFTRA actress & stuntwoman, professional model, huntress and brand ambassador." The website also notes she is the founder of Ride Wild, a platform for female powersport riders.
Yazdi's credits include appearances in the TV series "Hawaii Five-O" and the movies "The Beautiful Ones" and "The Martial Arts Kid."
After their split, Yazdi followed Brown on social media and deleted all photos of him from her Instagram page, according to ET.

Olivia Munn shared the heart-wrenching reason behind why she decided to document her cancer journey.
In 2022, the 43-year-old actress was diagnosed with Luminal B cancer, "an aggressive, fast moving cancer," in both breasts. After privately battling the disease, she announced her breast cancer diagnosis and revealed that she underwent a double mastectomy in a March Instagram post.
During a Thursday interview with "Good Morning America," Munn recalled that her first thought was of her son Malcolm, 2, when she received her diagnosis.
"Cancer is the — that’s the word you don't want to hear," she told host Michael Strahan. "There’s a lot of other things that you feel like you can beat, but you know cancer takes down a lot of people. And I just thought about my baby."
"The Newsroom" star shares Malcolm with her partner John Mulaney, 41.
When asked why she "wanted to document" her journey, Munn explained that it was for Malcolm.
"Well because if I didn’t make it, I wanted my son when he got older to know that I fought to be here," she said.
"That I tried my best," Munn added. "You want the people in your life, you want the people that maybe don't understand what's going on right to know that you did everything you could to be here."
As part of her treatment, Munn underwent therapy that suppressed the hormones which enabled the cancer to grow but put her body into medically induced menopause.
The "Magic Mike" actress explained that the effects of the treatment left her weak and made it difficult to function.
"The hormone suppression therapy is brutal and it gave me next level debilitating exhaustion," Munn said. "I was just in bed all day long, all day long, and my quality of life was so minimal and I wasn’t able to be there for my baby."
Munn told Strahan that she decided to take action after Malcolm noticed the change in her.
"Whenever Malcolm would come into the home he’d run straight to my bed because that's where he knows I am, like that’s what he associated with me," she recalled.
"And that was just too difficult for me to take," Munn said. "I had to find out if there was another option."
Munn said that she opted to get a hysterectomy and ovariectomy, marking her fifth surgery since receiving her diagnosis.
"Almost immediately after that, my energy just came back full force," she said.
However, Munn and Mulaney were still hoping to expand their family so she decided to freeze her eggs ahead of getting the procedures.
"Right after the double mastectomy, I went through a round of egg retrieval," she said.
"That’s a scary process because I have a cancer that feeds off of hormones so I knew there was a risk and our doctor said, 'Look we’re gonna get one for you and then we’re gonna call it,' " she explained. "And then our doctor called and he said, 'Hey we got the results back. It’s two healthy embryos,' and I— I mean we just started bawling, crying, both of us."
"We really just hope that it works out for us to be able to have another baby," she added. "I just want one more. I'm not going to ask for too much more in this life, I promise. I just want one more baby."
Munn said that her doctor recommended that she start taking another medication soon that will suppress the production of hormones that could grow cancer in other parts of her body.
The actress admitted that she questioned whether she was willing to undergo another treatment.
"I have been so aggressive," she said. "I did everything they told me to do. I did all the big surgeries. And now I'm saying, 'Do I have to do this extra drug?'"
"It’s so tiring," Munn explained. "These drugs are so tiring, and I know I’m gonna stay aggressive. I know I’m going to do it. I’m just surprised that I’m even asking for anything less than aggressive because, I mean as you know, it just feels nonstop."
Munn also shared what she had learned about herself and her priorities during her battle with cancer.
"I'm a lot braver than I thought I was," she said.
"And I learned that the most important thing to me in life is my family," Munn continued. "Everything else can go away, I don't have my career, I don't have my body the way that it looked before, but as long as the people that I love and care about are here and healthy and thriving nothing else matters."
A student at Kennesaw State University in Georgia was shot and killed Saturday by an "armed intruder" on campus, officials confirmed.
"Kennesaw State officials can confirm that a female student was fatally shot on campus," the school said in an alert on its website. "A suspect has been detained."
The school added: "There is no threat to the campus community. Kennesaw State University Police are working with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and we will provide updated information once it becomes available."
In an earlier alert on social media, the university said: "Armed Intruder reported at Kennesaw State. Seek shelter in a secure location until further notice."
By 4:45 p.m., the university gave an "all clear" and said the suspect was "no longer a threat to campus."
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) and the university are investigating.
The fatal shooting comes three months after Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student at Augusta University, was killed on Feb. 22 while jogging on trails around the University of Georgia campus.
Jose Antonio Ibarra, a 26-year-old Venezuelan national who was living illegally in the U.S., has been charged in her murder, which police described as a "crime of opportunity."
Earlier this month, a Georgia grand jury indicted Ibarra, on 10 counts, including malice murder, two counts of kidnapping with bodily injury, two counts of aggravated assault with intent to rape, two counts of aggravated battery, obstructing or hindering a person from making a 911 call, tampering with evidence and being a "peeping Tom."
Sharitta Shinese Grier, 45, was the fifth American to be arrested and detained in TCI after being caught with ammunition in an airport since February, along with Ryan Watson of Oklahoma, Tyler Wenrich of Virginia, Bryan Hagerich of Pennsylvania and Michael Lee Evans of Texas.
Willie Lucas, Grier's mother, said that it was heartbreaking leaving her daughter at the island and returning to their home in Florida.
After posting bail, Grier joined four other Americans in a rental property on the island as they awaited an uncertain future.
The five could each potentially face up to 12 years in prison.
"Watching the others and how they are close-knit, and reaching out to her, showing her that she's not alone, they are all in this together, that brings joy to my heart," Willis said..
Watson, Hagerich and Wenrich's father previously spoke with Fox News Digital about their arrests over stray ammunition found in their luggage.
All three men have said they were traveling home from their respective vacations when TCI airport security officials found stray bullets in their bags.
The three men have also said they had no intention of bringing ammo to the islands but had forgotten it in their bags from prior hunting trips.
"We had no intentions of ever bringing anything into this country. . . . It was just trying to pack board shorts and flip-flops, and that was all we were concerned about bringing," Watson previously told Fox News Digital. "So … it never dawned on us to research any of these things. And there are a lot of locals that have been just such a blessing and have had such gracious hearts."
The detainees must argue before the TCI Superior Court that they were arrested under "exceptional circumstances," which includes proving they have no prior criminal record, they did not intend to bring ammunition into the airport and why a 12-year sentence would be excessive in their cases.
Grier is scheduled to appear before a judge on July 5.

Former President Trump fired up supporters at the National Rifle Association's Annual Meeting in Texas on Saturday, calling for President Biden to take a "drug test," putting "radical" Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on blast and encouraging gun enthusiasts to get out and vote.
The crowd at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas roared as Trump received the NRA's endorsement before he took the stage.
Trump thanked the "great patriots" for the endorsements, but reprimanded the "rebellious bunch" for not voting.
"But one thing I'll say, and I say it as friends, we've got to get gun owners to vote because you know what? I don't know what it is. Perhaps it's a form of rebellion because you're a rebellious people, aren't you?," Trump said. "But gun owners don't vote. What is that all about?"
"If gun owners would vote, we would swamp them at levels that nobody's ever seen before," he said. "So, I think you're a rebellious bunch. So let's be rebellious and vote this time."
Trump turned his attention to Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., telling NRA-supporters to not "waste your vote" and that he is a part of the "radical left."
"RFK, Jr. — I call him Junior by the way — he's radical left. Don't think about it. Don't waste your vote," Trump said. "We need a conservative person with common sense. This guy is radical left who destroyed New York."
"Actually, he's a disaster. He reminds you of this fly that's driving me crazy up here," said Trump, who swatted at a fly that flitted around the stage. "This fly is brutal. I don't like flies!"
Trump said that RFK Jr. had "no policy for anything."
"But RFK Jr. calls you a terrorist group. You know, he calls you a terrorist group," Trump said. "[You] can't vote for him. You can't. You know, somebody said, well, they like his policy on vaccines the other day. He said, no, no, he'll go for the vaccine. He's nice. He's got no policy or anything. He's radical left. He always has been."
"We can't waste any votes," he added. "We have to make sure we win."
The Republican Party's presumptive presidential nominee set his sights on President Biden, beginning with the usual jabs at Biden's cognitive ability, and saying that Biden was as "high as a kite" during his State of the Union address in March.
"Now, he did that State of the Union the other day. He was high as a kite," Trump said. "So, I think we should go for drug tests on the debate. Yeah, we're going to call for drug tests."
Earlier Saturday, Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee announced the creation of a new "Gun Owners for Trump" coalition that includes gun rights activists and individuals in the firearms' industry.
Democratic Maryland governor Wes Moore signed a bill establishing the first statewide gun violence prevention center earlier this week.
The project, which is called the Center for Firearm Violence Prevention and Intervention, will operate within the Maryland Department of Health. Its mission is to "consolidate and better coordinate Maryland’s public health approach to preventing gun violence," according to a press release published by the governor's office on Thursday.
"The center will partner with local governments, advocates, and medical professionals engaged in violence intervention programs to build upon the critical gun violence intervention programs that were pioneered in Maryland and help ensure that they are adequately funded and informed by the best available data," the statement explained.
Moore follows in the footsteps of President Biden, who established the Office of Gun Violence Prevention in September 2023. The Old Line State is the first to adopt a statewide agency against gun violence, Moore said.
"Maryland became the first state in the nation to officially answer President Biden’s call," the governor told reporters.
Moore also signed the Growing Apprenticeships and the Public Safety Workforce (GAPS) Act, which is aimed at better funding police departments in the state.
"With police departments across the state facing challenges with hiring and retaining officers, the bill proposes short and long-term actions to help address the problem by reforming the existing apprenticeship model for public safety officials – with the goal of making apprenticeships a more viable pathway to law enforcement, and requiring the establishment of a model policy for law enforcement officer wellness programs to ensure officers receive the support they need in their often challenging work," the statement explains.
The laws come as Baltimore continues to be ravaged by crime. According to the Baltimore Police Department's website, there have been more than 1,800 aggravated assaults and 1,200 robberies since 2024 began. In addition, there have been 155 shootings and 62 homicides this year.
"When we entered office, we made public safety our number one priority, and we said we were going to move differently on this issue – because the status quo wasn't working," a statement from Moore read. "Today, we make Maryland safer by signing bills to support victims, build stronger pipelines to law enforcement jobs, and tackle the gun violence epidemic, head-on."
"We're making progress, but our work is far from done. Together, we will continue to take an all-of-the-above approach to public safety."
Fox News Digital reached out to Moore's office for additional comment, but did not receive an immediate reply.
Pentecost, said Fr. Louis Cona of New York, is the "preeminent celebration of the Holy Spirit" — and is celebrated on Sunday, May 19, seven weeks after Easter.
Cona is a priest of the Diocese of Rockville Centre and currently serves as associate pastor of St. Patrick’s Church in Smithtown, New York.
Verses in the Acts of the Apostles (2:1-4) tell the story of Pentecost, Cona said.
"When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim" (Acts 2:1-4).
The Acts of the Apostles is traditionally attributed to St. Luke the Evangelist, according to the website BibleGateway.
"In telling this story, Luke describes the emergence of Christianity from its origins in Judaism to its position as a religion of worldwide status and appeal," the site added.
Pentecost, said Cona, which is celebrated 50 days after the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday, is the "fulfillment of Jesus' earthly mission," as told in Luke 12:49, to "set the earth on fire."
"We see his desire fulfilled as tongues of fire descend upon his disciples," said Cona. "The tongues of fire as recounted by St. Luke in the Acts of the Apostles remind us that God is alive, his Spirit is not stagnant, but dynamic, constantly reinvigorating and igniting the Church and her faithful."
When he was in seminary studying ahead of his ordination to the priesthood, Cona said one of his professors "would often remind us that Pentecost is not the feast of the Holy Spirit, but rather, the feast of the sending of the Holy Spirit."
This, he said, "is an important distinction because it reminds us that the descent of the Holy Spirit is Christ’s greatest gift to his Church, a gift brought about through his Incarnation, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension into Heaven."
The Holy Spirit, said Cona, "gives the Church life, constantly renews her from within, and animates all of her members."
As a parish priest, Cona told Fox News Digital that he sees the "fire" of the Holy Spirit "alive and at work in the Church's sacraments."
He noted, "Quite often I am astonished by the movement of the Holy Spirit in the healing of the sick through prayer and anointing."
Cona continued, "I also see the fire of the Spirit alive in young people whose thirst for truth, goodness and authentic friendship can only be quenched when grounded in the truth of the Gospel."
He added, "Where did their desire for deeper meaning and purpose to life arise but from the Spirit at work within their hearts leading them to all truth" — referring to John 16:13.
On Pentecost, Catholic Mass has a special sequence called "Veni Sancte Spiritus," or "Come Holy Spirit," said Cona.
A sequence is a chant or hymn sung during a certain part of the Mass.
"This marvelous hymn teaches us about the remarkable actions of the Holy Spirit within our hearts," said Cona.
In it, "we learn that the Holy Spirit ‘melts’ our hardened hearts and ‘warms the chill’ of ego, sin and loneliness. In this way, by overcoming pride, fear and isolation, the Holy Spirit unites us, makes us one of heart and mind," he said.
"On this Pentecost Sunday, we pray for a renewed outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon our world to ‘melt’ the hardened hearts of sin and violence, so that we too can experience peace, unity, and ‘joys that never end,’ said Cona.
Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and her entourage are set to travel to Las Vegas on a business trip, shortly after the Democratic mayor faced scrutiny for going on a taxpayer-funded trip to the Masters Golf tournament.
A description of the event on the mayor’s public calendar said that she would attend the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) on an "economic mission."
"On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, Mayor Bowser will attend the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) LAS VEGAS to attract retail to the District of Columbia," the description said. "This economic mission is coordinated by the Washington, DC Economic Partnership, which has organized the District’s presence at ICSC since 2001."
In a press release, Bowser's office touted the benefits reaped by attending the ICSCS.
"We know that Washingtonians in every part of DC want access to fantastic amenities. From the Lidl in Ward 7 to the Wegmans in Ward 3, those are conversations that started at ICSC," said Bowser. "Through programs like the Food Access Fund and the Neighborhood Prosperity Fund, we have made good progress in filling amenity gaps, but there is still more to do to ensure greater accessibility and equity – and filling those gaps and supporting the continued transformation of Downtown will be a focus of this trip."
Bowser will attend the conference, which is held at Wynn Las Vegas, along with 14 other elected officials and staff members.
District government representatives attending ICSC will include:
Elected officials' goals at the conference include "expanding the Washington, D.C. brand as a premier business environment and investment opportunity; generating business leads for major development projects and DC’s neighborhood corridors, including Downtown; fostering business relationships and engaging with new prospects including retailers and brokers for later cultivation; and promoting the unique retail and restaurant opportunities in our neighborhoods," Bowser's office said in a press release.
The latest trip comes after the Democratic mayor faced scrutiny over transparency about her trip to the Master's Tournament in Augusta, Georgia last month.
According to the mayor's public schedule, Bowser attended the world-renowned golf tournament, "as part of a sports and economic development visit."
Her team said that the mayor was invited by a major real estate company that does business in D.C.
Bowser had previously defended her taxpayer-funded trip to the world-renowned tournament, telling FOX 5 that they have "tried to be transparent."
"We tried to be transparent, so I don’t know what questions you have that remain. We disclosed – I don’t know what questions you have that remain; we expect an invoice if it hasn’t – we haven’t received it yet from EDENS," Bowser told FOX 5.
Bowser said that the trip to the Master's tournament cost between $5,000 and $6,000 per person.
"… I believe that the estimated costs were in the range of $5-$6,000 and that’s for air travel … per person," she told the local outlet.
The mayor did not say how much the trip to Las Vegas would cost.
The mayor defended her taxpayer-funded trip, saying that Washington D.C is the "sports capital."
"Listen, voters have placed their trust in me to make the best decisions for the District for the last 15 years, including three elections as mayor. We made no secret about the fact that we make sports investments," Bowser said. "We are the sports capital, and we are going to promote the District in every corner of the world, and that has been my experience as mayor."
Fox News has reached out to Mayor Bowser's office, Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie, Councilmember Brooke Pinto and Councilmember Zachary Parker for comment.
Seize The Grey won the 149th Preakness Stakes Saturday, closing at 9-1 odds, one of the longest shots on the board.
Mystik Dan, the winner of the Kentucky Derby, made a move late, but finished second in the field of eight horses running in the $2 million, 1 3/16-mile race.
It was a wire-to-wire victory for Seize The Grey, who led by several lengths at the ¾-mile mark, with Imagination trailing closely behind.
Mystik Dan and Imagination both crept up, and as much as Mystik Dan tried to maneuver past the leader, nothing worked. Seize The Grey crossed the finish line first.
D. Wayne Lukas, 88, became the oldest trainer to win the Preakness, his seventh victory in the race, one shy of Bob Baffert's record.
The original favorite, Muth, trained by the controversial Baffert, was scratched earlier this week due to a spiking fever. That led to Mystik Dan becoming the favorite in his quest to be the first Triple Crown winner since Justify in 2018.
Muth opened as the 8-5 favorite, ahead of Mystik Dan at 5-2 (he later closed at 2-1). Baffert said the horse was ruled out after reaching a temperature of 103 degrees Fahrenheit roughly 12 hours after arriving at the racecourse.
It was unknown for a bit whether Mystik Dan would run after his Kentucky Derby victory, but ownership decided he was good to go.
No one in the race’s 149-year history has saddled more horses in the Preakness than Lukas with 48 since debuting in 1980. He had two this time, with Just Steel finishing fifth.
Baffert was at Pimlico after missing his third straight Kentucky Derby due to suspension. He is slated to be back at Churchill Downs in 2025. His National Treasure won last year's Preakness.
The final leg of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes, will take place at Saratoga Race Course June 8.

CNN commentator and longtime Republican political adviser Alice Stewart has died suddenly at the age of 58.
Stewart was found early Saturday morning in a neighborhood in northern Virginia. Law enforcement officials believed she died from a medical emergency, according to reports, and no foul play is suspected.
"Alice was a very dear friend and colleague to all of us at CNN," network CEO Mark Thompson wrote in a message to network staff on Saturday, according to CNN. "A political veteran and an Emmy Award-winning journalist who brought an incomparable spark to CNN’s coverage, known across our bureaus not only for her political savvy, but for her unwavering kindness. Our hearts are heavy as we mourn such an extraordinary loss."
Stewart was an established communications veteran in Republican politics before joining CNN as a commentator in 2016. She served as communications director for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's 2016 presidential campaign, the 2008 and 2016 presidential campaigns of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, and the 2012 bids of former Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.
"Heartbreaking. Alice was wonderful and talented and a dear friend," Cruz wrote on X Saturday. "And she loved America fiercely. She lived every day to the fullest, and she will be deeply missed. May God’s comfort and peace be upon her loved ones. RIP."
CNN's Dana Bash called her a "woman's woman who brought kindness and support along with smarts and expertise."
Stewart also previously served as deputy secretary of state for Arkansas.
Before she got into politics, Stewart had an extensive media career, working as a reporter and anchor in Little Rock, Arkansas and Savannah, Georgia, as well as an associate producer in her hometown of Atlanta, according to her biography at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics. She was also hosting a podcast with fellow CNN commentator Maria Cardona upon her death.
Stewart was a frequent guest on CNN shows, providing a unique perspective on the network as a Republican who voted for Donald Trump. In an interview in 2020 with Harvard Political Review, Deadline noted, Stewart was open about her viewpoints.
"My role at CNN is to be a conservative commentator; I provide my perspective on the politics of the day from my conservative viewpoint," she told HPR. "There are different facets of conservatism these days. There are people who are supportive of Donald Trump, and there are never-Trumpers. I support the president, but there are a lot of things I don’t agree with regarding his tone and demeanor, and I call him out on it when necessary."
On CNN Saturday, Stewart was honored and mourned throughout the day. Tributes also poured in online, with fellow media and political figures and colleagues praising her as a smart, funny and kind friend.
"We always invited her to come on my show because we knew we would be a little bit smarter at the end of that conversation," CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer said on Saturday.
"Alice Stewart was a kind, talented, and faith-filled woman of God. She will be sincerely missed. My heart and my prayers go out to her family," Fox News' Kayleigh McEnany wrote on X.
The storm moved through North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, site of Sunday's All-Star Open and Saturday's Craftsman Truck Series Wright Brand 250.
Pole qualifying was canceled Saturday morning, but the race started on time, as positioning was set per the rule book. However, lightning in the area brought the red flag out on Lap 81 at roughly 2:30 p.m. ET.
NASCAR then announced at 5:05 p.m. ET the remainder of the race would be postponed until 11:30 a.m. ET Sunday, and heat races for the All-Star Open slated for Saturday were canceled. Positioning for the race will be set based on the rule book.
Rain flooded pit road so badly, it was roughly thigh-high for some on the track.
One person in a video taken by FOX Business senior producer Justin Freiman could be seen swimming and diving in the water.
A few seconds later, a driver did a belly flop.
The weather affected racing Friday night, as well. All-Star Race qualifying and a pit crew challenge at North Wilkesboro Speedway scheduled for Friday night has been postponed due to rain.
NASCAR announced Saturday and Sunday tickets would be honored Sunday with some stipulations.
Saturday ticketholders will receiver "priority seating" for the finish of the truck race, while those who have tickets for Sunday will then get seating for the All-Star Race, in the event of same-seat purchases.
Twenty drivers will participate in the $1 million All-Star Race following the conclusion of the Wright Brand 250.
House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., will blast President Biden as she seeks to reassure Israel during a speech at the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, Sunday morning.
Her prepared remarks were obtained by Fox News Digital ahead of the address. Stefanik will be the highest-ranking House member to visit Israel since the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks. She will be introduced by the Israeli speaker, according to her office.
The New York Republican is also planning to meet with high-level government officials and pay her respects to locations attacked by Hamas in October. She plans to tout her decades-long support for the Jewish state as a senior member of the House Armed Services and House Intelligence committees.
In her speech, Stefanik calls herself "a lifelong admirer, supporter and friend of Israel and the Jewish people."
"I am lucky to have had the privilege of traveling here many times before, but I must confess that this time feels different," Stefanik's speech states. "The stakes feel higher. Our sense of moral, patriotic duty feels heightened, renewed."
In the remarks, Stefanik praises former President Trump for his relationship with Israel during his administration, and she criticizes Biden for his administration's controversial measures during the Israel-Hamas war. In November 2023, the Biden administration extended a waiver that allowed Iran to access $10 billion previously in escrow, prompting widespread criticism.
The White House recently paused a weapons shipment to Israel out of concern about an invasion of Rafah, before deciding to move forward with the sale earlier this week.
"There is no excuse for an American president to block aid to Israel, aid that was duly passed by the Congress, or to ease sanctions on Iran, paying a $6 billion ransom to the world’s leading state sponsor of terror, or to dither and hide while our friends fight for their lives. No excuse," the speech states. "Full stop."
The Republican leader's address to the Knesset will express support for "every measure to aid Israel that has come before the U.S. Congress," and tout her history as "a leading proponent and partner to President Trump in his historic support for Israeli independence and security."
"If I leave you with one message today, it’s this: The majority of Americans support you, and we always will since President Truman’s recognition of Israel 11 minutes after David Ben-Gurion declared Israel’s independence 76 years and 5 days ago," the address says. "America stands with Israel."
Before concluding her speech, the politician will take aim at Ivy League universities for their responses to chaotic protests and anti-Israel encampments.
"We must not let the extremism in ‘elite’ corners conceal the deep, abiding love for Israel among the American people," the speech adds. "Most Americans feel a strong connection to your people. They have opened their hearts to you in this dark hour."
Owen Prior is an experienced fisherman, but even he was surprised when he reeled in a 12-foot tiger shark at Jacksonville Beach in Florida last weekend.
This is definitely one to remember for sure," Prior, who runs First Coast Surf Fishing in Jacksonville Beach, told FOX 35 Orlando of his personal record catch.
"I’ve caught hundreds of sharks up to a 14-foot hammerhead, but that was my personal best tiger shark," he said.
Prior said the massive shark took roughly 25 minutes to reel in, and, since tiger sharks are protected in Florida, he "snapped a quick pic and let her go on her way."
"I felt some weight for sure, I knew it was going to be a bigger fish," he explained. "There’s some sharks that fight harder than others and believe it or not, tigers do not fight as hard as they might seem they do."
He called tiger sharks "notoriously lazy," adding that they, and sharks as a whole, are often "opportunistic" about bait.
"I got lucky for sure, it was barely hooked," he told FOX 35, explaining that he doesn’t use barbs on his hooks to make the release smoother.
"All in all, it was a great experience having the ability to feel the power of a large shark like that and even better being able to safely remove the hook and watch her swim away back into the abyss with a free meal," he told the news station. "It's one to remember."
Prior said he's next setting his sights on tarpon.
Tarpon are coming," said Prior, who added he’s "not just a shark guy."
Jessica Biel revealed she almost quit Hollywood before executive-producing and starring in the hit series "The Sinner."
During an appearance on "The Bright Side" podcast, the 42-year-old actress recalled how she became discouraged after co-founding her production company Iron Ocean and struggling for over a decade to get a project picked up.
"Doors did not open at all, even being in the business for so long," Biel said.
"I've had this production company with my partner, Michelle Purple, for 20 years. I started it with her when I was 22, and for the first 10 years, we had almost no success at all.
"We had a very challenging time getting any story told."
The "7th Heaven" alum explained she and Purple produced a short film and a full-length feature movie, which she described as a "labor of love." However, the two were unable to sell either project.
"And then not until many years later, that's when we were introduced to "The Sinner" and then built that show from the ground up," Biel said.
"When we were actually selling that show, Michelle and I looked at each other, and she said, 'If we don't sell this show, I'm quitting.'
"I said, 'Me too, I'm quitting. I'm not doing this. I don't know — if this show doesn't sell, I don't know what people want. I don't know what to bring them. I don't understand this business anymore. I just don't get it anymore.'
"And then we sold it in the room," Biel added. "It was so weird."
In "The Sinner," Biel played troubled mother Cora Tannetti, who shockingly stabs an apparent stranger to death while enjoying a beach day with her family. Because Cora has no idea why she committed the murder, police Det. Harry Ambrose sets out to determine the motive for her actions.
The actress was nominated for an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award for her performance in "The Sinner," which was made into an anthology series that ran for four seasons.
Biel and Purple went on to produce the 2022 Hulu miniseries "Candy," which also starred the "Total Recall" actress. The duo executive-produce the hit thriller series "Cruel Summer."
While speaking on "The Bright Side" podcast, Biel shared that it was a "humbling" experience to prove she could be a successful producer despite having an established acting career.
"It was basically like starting over on some level," she said.
"The Illusionist" star noted the industry was very different years ago, and there was little interest in female-driven projects.
"It was a time when nobody cared about women's stories," Biel said. "It was before we had this amazing runway for powerful, complex female stories.
"So, it just wasn't the right time either, and we were fighting against all the elements. It was a very humbling experience, and it still continues to be humbling."
Biel said achieving success in Hollywood can be difficult for anyone.
"I don't find that my industry — or being an actor or producer — is easy in any way, shape or form," she said.
"It is so much blood, sweat and tears that you put into getting these projects made, and so many of the things we work on never, ever come to fruition.
"I feel like most producers would say the same thing, that they have that experience, and it's very hard. And also on my own just sort of separating my company from my own acting career."
Nineteen anti-Israel agitators were arrested at the University of Pennsylvania on Friday night, after hundreds of protesters descended onto a campus building and attempted to occupy it.
Police confirmed to Fox News Digital that there were 19 arrests following the protest at the university's Fisher Bennett Hall.
According to the university, six students were among those arrested, while 12 people were cited for failure to disperse, among other charges. Twelve individuals were later released, FOX 29 reported.
The university confirmed that seven other people are still in custody and are awaiting felony charges, including one for assault of a police officer.
The UPenn Police Department announced in a community notice that a "large disorderly crowd" began gathering at 8 p.m. Friday, and moved into Fisher Bennett Hall on the university's campus and attempted to occupy it.
Law enforcement advised students to "avoid the immediate area."
Campus police, along with assistance from the Philadelphia Police Department, escorted the protesters from the building.
The occupation came one week after police dismantled an encampment that had taken over part of the Ivy League's campus for two weeks.
In a statement, members of the Penn Gaza Solidarity Encampment accused the University of Penn administration of not negotiating with them in good faith over "Penn’s investment with Israel."
Shane Lowry was eight shots back of the lead when he teed off over an hour and a half before the final group of the third round of the PGA Championship. When he entered the clubhouse, he was just one stroke back.
That's because the Irishman shot a 9-under 62 on Saturday at Valhalla, tying the records for the lowest round and lowest score to par in a major.
Xander Schauffele did the same on Thursday, tying the record of 62 that he already had a share of. It also was tied for the lowest score to par.
Lowry had a shot at history, reaching the par-5 18th in three and leaving himself about 10 feet for an unprecedented 61 in a major.
But his putt never broke right, and he tapped in for par to tie Schauffele (Thursday and the 2023 U.S. Open), Rickie Fowler (2023 U.S. Open) and Branden Grace (2017 Open Championship).
The putt was to also tie Schauffele for the tournament lead at 14-under, but Lowry has more than put himself in position to win his second major. At the time of publishing, he was tied for second with 2020 PGA Champion Collin Morikawa.
He was in disbelief when it didn't drop, but he seemed happy when he realized a tie wasn't too bad.
Lowry parred the first hole, then birdied his next four before alternating between par and birdie from holes six through nine, entering the turn with a 29.
He birdied 13, 14, and 17 en route to the bogey-free round. In all, he knocked down over 161 feet in putts, including back-to-back birdies of 37 feet, four inches and 32 feet, six inches at 13 and 14.
Lowry's best finish at the PGA Championship is tying for fourth in 2021, when Phil Mickelson won at Kiawah Island to become the oldest major winner ever. Lowry also tied his lowest round, which he shot at Liberty National in Jersey City at the 2021 Northern Trust.
His lone major victory came at the 2019 Open Championship at Royal Portrush.
With a win Sunday, he'd become the 21st multi-time winner of the PGA Championship and the first since Justin Thomas in 2022.
Sean "Diddy" Combs likely settled the lawsuit against him by ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura one day after she filed to prevent the hotel surveillance footage of him allegedly beating her in a hallway in 2016 from becoming public, author Tracy Walder, who previously worked for the FBI and CIA, said.
The video — obtained exclusively by CNN on Friday that allegedly showed the 54-year-old rapper brutally beating Ventura in a hotel hallway in Los Angeles — is likely the reason Combs "settled so quickly with his ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura in November 2023," she told People magazine.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Walder added, "I do think [Combs] was worried about the tape getting out," adding that he allegedly paid $50,000 to the hotel for it not to be leaked, according to Ventura's lawsuit, "which isn’t all that much," Walder said. "Ms. Ventura knew the video was out there, and it was provided to her attorney as part of the case. I believe he settled it the next day for fear of it getting out."
Ventura sued Combs in November, accusing him of physical and sexual abuse, but she dropped the case after the parties reached an out-of-court settlement a day later.
The shocking video appears to corroborate a line in Ventura's lawsuit accusing Combs of punching her in the face in a hotel.
"Mr. Combs became extremely intoxicated and punched Ms. Ventura in the face, giving her a black eye," her lawyers alleged.
He was drunk, according to the lawsuit, and when he passed out she tried to sneak out. But he allegedly woke up and resumed screaming at her, followed her into the hallway, threw her on the ground and smashed a vase on the floor.
Walder said it’s "enraging" that the alleged actions in the video exceeded the statute of limitations in Los Angeles.
"Unfortunately, there is a statute of limitations even on felony assault. Obviously, it is enraging to watch that video and to know that there is no chargeable crime as a result of the domestic violence/felony assault," Walder told Fox News Digital. "I think having a statute of limitations on a crime like this is tough as many victims stand to lose everything (their lives) if they come forward right away."
The LA District Attorney's office issued a statement confirming the rap artist is "unable" to be prosecuted due to the statute of limitations.
"We are aware of the video that has been circulating online allegedly depicting Sean Combs assaulting a young woman in Los Angeles," the statement, released on Instagram, began. "We find the images extremely disturbing and difficult to watch."
"If the conduct depicted occurred in 2016, unfortunately we would be unable to charge as the conduct would have occurred beyond the timeline where a crime of assault can be prosecuted," the statement continues. "As of today, law enforcement has not presented a case related to the attack depicted in the video against Mr. Combs, but we encourage anyone who has been a victim or witness to a crime to report it to law enforcement or reach out to our office for support from our Bureau of Victims Services."
She said she suspected he "knew of this video, knew of other things he had been accused of, though he was acquitted of his charges, knew he had an armed security team, and thus this was entirely an appropriate use of force."
She added that the timing of the tape's release was "interesting."
She suspected "either [Ventura's] attorney or the hotel gave CNN the footage since the hotel only got paid $50,000 to keep it quiet," Ventura's lawsuit claimed.
"I’m wondering if Cassie or her attorney are frustrated there haven’t been criminal charges yet federally and that’s why they did this. I would imagine Sean Combs won’t be fighting any civil cases now," she told People.
"I hope everyone calling her a gold digger feels awful."
"I don’t think Diddy thought this video would get out," Walder told Fox News Digital. "I suspect people have been covering for him for a while, and I believe he thought he was infallible."
Representatives for Combs did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
