Gov. Janet Mills of Maine is attempting to capitalize on her moment in the national spotlight after she got into a public dust-up with President Donald Trump last week over her state's defiance of his executive order demanding biological males who identify as transgender stay out of women's sports.

The pair got into a verbal skirmish on Friday at the White House after Trump said the night prior that Maine would not receive any federal funding until it started taking action to prevent transgender women from competing on women's sports teams...

FIRST ON FOX: A pro-life medical group is urging New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to reverse course on a recently passed state law that shields the identities of healthcare providers who prescribe and mail the abortion pill mifepristone.

In a letter to Hochul on Wednesday, the American Association of Pro-Life OBGYNs (AAPLOG) said the law "recklessly endangers" patients who cannot follow up with their provider in the case of complications.

"Concealing doctors’ identity recklessly endangers the patients we’re meant to serve," the group wrote. "It compounds...

The FBI is reportedly beginning an investigation into allegations that the agency, when headed by then-Director James Comey, launched a "honeypot" operation to infiltrate the 2016 Trump campaign with two female agents.

The Washington Times reported that the agency is looking into an alleged 2015 operation, which was revealed by a whistleblower in a disclosure to the House Judiciary Committee last year and was said to involve two agents acting as "honeypots" while traveling with the Trump team.

"Honeypots" typically refer to undercover agents who...

Attorneys for New York City Mayor Eric Adams asked a U.S. judge to dismiss with prejudice all charges against their client on Wednesday, seeking to expedite the dismissal nearly two weeks after prosecutors moved to drop the corruption case.

In the filing, Adams' legal team asked the presiding judge in the case, U.S. District Judge Dale Ho, to grant the Justice Department's request to dismiss charges against Adams swiftly and with prejudice, arguing that an "extraordinary flurry" of leaks by prosecutors had violated Adams' right to a fair trial.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe is unconcerned by speculation that agents who are fired under the Department of Government Efficiency cuts may take the nation’s secrets to foreign adversaries.

"You’re telling me that a professional setback could cause people to risk the consequences of treason and betray their country, and your argument is that those are the kind of people who should stay inside CIA?" a source familiar with the CIA head’s thinking told Fox News Digital.

"There’s a general sense that it’s more of a justification for maintaining the...

In a major victory for House GOP leaders, the resolution passed in a 217 to 215 vote.

All Democrats voted against the measure, along with lone Republican rebel Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who was concerned about its effect on the national deficit.

The next step is now for the relevant House committees to meet and build their own proposals, which...
