WASHINGTON – Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito spoke to Fox News on Friday about the upside-down American flag seen flying outside his home in the days following the Jan. 6 Capitol protests, saying his wife displayed it in response to insults directed at her from a neighbor.

Alito weighed in after The New York Times first reported on the story Thursday, in which it said the upside-down flag — a symbol adopted by some Trump supporters disputing the results of the 2020 presidential election — appeared outside Alito’s home in Alexandria, Virginia, on...

Vladimir Putin’s visit to China was a show of strength, but in reality he needs Beijing's support for his war in Ukraine.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is asking the court for a "very long" sentence for the man who attacked her husband in their home over a year ago, and Paul Pelosi says he's still suffering dizziness, headaches, balance problems, nerve pain and walking challenges after being struck by David DePape with a hammer.

FIRST ON FOX: The wife of Sam Brown, a Republican Senate candidate and wounded war veteran left with life-altering scars, is coming to her husband's defense over "vile" attack ads being run by his primary opponent.

Amy Brown, often seen alongside her husband on the campaign trail, is arguing that ads running across Nevada by Dr. Jeffrey Gunter's campaign accentuate Sam Brown's scars, which were caused by an IED explosion during a 2008 deployment to Afghanistan that left his face severely burned.

"Our family embraces Sam’s scars as a physical...

Hundreds were killed in recent flooding in Afghanistan, which saw homes swept away and roads destroyed.

Even by the rock-bottom standards of the 118th Congress, Thursday night’s three-hour voting session of the House Oversight Committee was perhaps a new low. There was shouting and chaos. There were insults about eyelashes, hair dye and body composition. It was behavior that would get most elementary school kids suspended.

The members of the Republican-led committee gathered after 8 p.m. in a Capitol Hill hearing room ready for a fight — some members of the audience were even said to have brought alcoholic beverages to enjoy the show. They had...

While President Biden tries to assuage voter concerns about his age in a presidential race that includes the two oldest men ever to seek the White House, a couple of miles away in the U.S. Senate, the gerontocracy remains alive and well — and little commented upon.

The recent news that two octogenarians — Senators Bernie Sanders of Vermont, 82, and Angus King of Maine, 80 — are each running for another six-year term generated little in the way of criticism or worry over age of the kind that Mr. Biden has faced.

Their races, which both men are...

The man convicted of attempting to kidnap then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and attacking her husband with a hammer will learn his fate in federal court Friday.

David DePape, 44, was tried late last year for attempted kidnapping of a federal official and assault on the immediate family member of a federal official. Jurors convicted him on both counts on Nov. 16, 2023. Prosecutors have asked Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley for a 40-year prison term.

DePape's early morning break-in at the Pelosi home in October 2022 resulted in federal as well as state...
