What my interest truly was in is in creating these molecules called Cubanes, which have a three-dimensional structure, which can be manipulated in a way to allow these molecules to bind directly and in an efficient and better way than people have bound these compounds ever before. And this has been a truly personal battle for me because I lost my aunt to cancer in 2020.
Joe Kent, President Trump's former top counter-terrorism official, is under investigation by the FBI's Criminal Division for allegedly improperly sharing classified information. The investigation began months before Kent's recent resignation, according to four individuals with direct knowledge of the probe who spoke to Semafor.
An unidentified foreign hacker broke into the FBI's field office in New York in 2023 and compromised files related to the bureau's investigation into the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to Reuters. The hack took advantage of a server at the Child Exploitation Forensic Lab in the FBI's New York Field Office that was left inadvertently vulnerable by an FBI special agent working on the case.
Of the 15 officers who died in the line of duty while working for Enforcement and Removal Operations, the ICE branch charged with detaining unauthorized migrants within the interior of the US, all but two died of Covid. One deportation officer, Brian Beliso, died of a heart attack in 2020 during a foot chase. The other deportation officer to die of something other than Covid, Lorenzo Roberto Gomez, experienced heat stress during a training exercise in El Paso, Texas, leading to hospitalization.
After consulting Post lawyers, I developed what we felt was the safest possible sourcing system. If I planned to use someone in a story, I asked them to send me a picture of their government ID, then tried to forget it. I kept notes from reporting conversations in an encrypted drive, never writing down anyone's name. To Google-check facts and identities, I used a private browser with no search history. I retitled every Signal chat by agency - "Transportation Employee," "FDA Reviewer," "EPA Scientist" -

It is outrageous and deeply alarming that the previous FBI leadership secretly subpoenaed my own phone records - along with those of now-White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles - using flimsy pretexts and burying the entire process in prohibited case files designed to evade all oversight.
A confidential informant told the FBI in 2017 that Jeffrey Epstein had a "personal hacker," according to a document released by the Department of Justice on Friday. The document, which was released as part of the Justice Department's legally required effort to publish documents related to its investigation into the late sex offender, does not identify who the alleged hacker was, but does include several details about them.
Whoever is out there holding our mother, we want to hear from you. We haven't heard anything directly, said Camron. We need you to reach out, and we need a way to communicate with you so we can move forward. But first, we have to know that you have our mom. We want to talk to you, and we are waiting for contact.
Over the past year, waves of federal layoffs have left thousands of government employees and contractor clients suddenly out of work. For foreign intelligence services, that disruption has opened new opportunities. With more former U.S. officials seeking employment or freelance work - often in specialized national security fields - adversaries, namely China, have stepped in, posing as consulting firms, research groups and recruiters.
FBI investigators are looking into Renee Nicole Good's life and potential history of anti-ICE activism after her death, sources familiar with the situation have said, seemingly trying to retroactively justify her killing as they obstruct probes into her killer, ICE agent Jonathan Ross. Sources told The New York Times that it "seems increasingly unlikely" that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent will face criminal charges for his shooting and killing of Good.
"We're looking at everything that would shed light on what happened that day and in the days and weeks leading up to what happened," Blanche said during a news conference.
Ridge, a moderate Republican and a Vietnam vet with a square jaw and gentle manner, was the governor of Pennsylvania when nearly 3,000 Americans were killed on September 11, 2001. The nation was gripped with fear and horror, and President George W. Bush put the bipartisanship-seeking Ridge in charge of making sure there wouldn't be another terrorist strike. The new Cabinet-level entity that he would lead mashed together more than 20 federal agencies under one Orwellian name.
Harmeet Dhillon, a right-wing activist picked by Trump to be the Department of Justice's Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, is one of the more inconspicuously evil forces behind the DOJ's injustice era. Since her nomination in December 2024, she's used her post to go full-send on the president's anti-DEI initiatives, destroy much of the division's former work to uncover instances of unconstitutional policing, and has reconstructed CRT so much so that hundreds of employees left their jobs.
