A federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled that certain evidence linked to an ally of former FBI Director James Comey is off limits to the Justice Department in its efforts to prosecute the ex-director. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said the DOJ may not use information pertaining to Daniel Richman. "Upon consideration of Petitioner Daniel Richman’s Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, the relevant legal authority, and the entire present record, the Court concludes that Petitioner Richman is entitled to a narrow temporary restraining order to preserve the status quo while the Court evaluates his Motion for Return of Property and awaits full briefing and argument from the parties," the ruling reads. The facts "weigh in favor of entering a prompt, temporary order to preserve the status quo now, before the Government has filed a response," it added. View the full article

Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton got off to a much quicker start against Alabama in Saturday’s SEC Championship than he did last week against in-state rival Georgia Tech. Stockton finished the Bulldogs’ dominant 28-7 victory over the Crimson Tide at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta with three touchdowns to secure Georgia’s spot in the College Football Playoff (CFP). While winning the SEC title put Georgia (12-1) in position for a first-round playoff spot, Alabama (10-3) suffered its third loss of the year. The Tide are now in jeopardy of missing one of the coveted 12 CFB postseason spots. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Head coach Kirby Smart and Georgia’s win also put an end to Alabama’s dominance in the schools’ recent head-to-head matchups. The Tide had won each of the past four meetings in the SEC Championship Game, and Smart was a mere 1-7 overall against Alabama. Prior to Saturday, the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship marked Smart’s lone victory against the neighboring state school. Smart has now coached Georgia to four conference titles. TEXAS TECH DOMINATES BYU TO WIN FIRST-EVER BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP The Crimson Tide were believed to be in good position when they moved up to the ninth spot in last week’s CFP rankings, but the lopsided loss to the Bulldogs renewed concerns that Alabama could miss the playoff for the second consecutive season under head coach Kalen DeBoer. After the loss, DeBoer made his case for the ninth-ranked Crimson Tide not falling out of contention for the CFP. "I think you look at the games that we played throughout the season, but if you’re really looking at this game, I mean, it was a 14-point game with seven and a half minutes to go, and we had the ball," DeBoer said. "You look at things that didn’t go well – we gave them four short fields. And again, I don’t want to take anything away from what Georgia did. "The field position battle is part of it. But we gave them four short fields. I mean, that’s a testament to our defense being resilient." Late in the first quarter, Daylen Everette's interception of Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson’s pass deflected by KJ Bolden gave the Bulldogs the ball near midfield. Stockton’s 1-yard scoring pass to Dillon Bell gave Georgia a 14-0 lead. A block by London Humphreys helped Nate Frazier score easily on a 9-yard run to cap Georgia’s first possession of the second half, extending the lead to three touchdowns. Alabama posted the biggest comeback in SEC Championship Game history when it beat Georgia 35-28 in 2018 after trailing by 14 points. The latest CFP rankings and first-round pairings will be released on Sunday. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Kelsey Grammer thinks President Donald Trump is "one of the greatest presidents we've ever had." Earlier Saturday, Trump awarded the 2025 Kennedy Center honorees with their medals in the Oval Office. After the ceremony, the State Department Kennedy Center Honors medal presentation dinner was held. This year's recipients include Sylvester Stallone, Gloria Gaynor and George Strait, Michael Crawford and the members of KISS. Speaking to Fox News Digital ahead of the dinner, Grammer, who was accompanied by his daughter Faith, called Trump "extraordinary." ANDREA BOCELLI GIVES TRUMP IMPROMPTU OVAL OFFICE PERFORMANCE DURING WHITE HOUSE VISIT" "I think he's extraordinary. He's one of the greatest presidents we've ever had. Maybe the greatest. There are some things he still wants to get done, and I think that's terrific, but there was a big hill to climb," Grammer said. "And we were left with some very interesting things going on," he concluded. The "Cheers" star also touched on Stallone being honored during this year's ceremony and said he's "over the moon" about it. "I was on the selection committee, so I knew about it," he added. "He's a force of nature. Sylvester Stallone has captured our imagination in several different roles and performed them beautifully." Grammer said it was "about time" that Stallone was honored.

During the Oval Office ceremony, Trump called the honorees "incredible people" who represent the "very best in American arts and culture." "I know most of them, and I’ve been a fan of all of them," Trump said, according to the Associated Press. "This is a group of icons whose work and accomplishments have inspired, uplifted and unified millions and millions of Americans.

It’s a gold disc etched on one side with the Kennedy Center’s image and signature rainbow colors. The honoree’s name and the ceremony date appear on the reverse. The medallion hangs from a navy-blue ribbon, replacing the original large rainbow ribbon – adorned with three gold plates – that rested on the honoree’s shoulders and chest and had been used since the first Honors program in 1978.

Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank calls himself "a highly creative hypochondriac" — who just paid for an expensive MRI scan to locate abnormal spots as tiny as 2 millimeters. He discusses the pros and cons of its "diffusion-weighted imaging" technology combined with the pattern recognition of AI, which theoretically "has the potential to save our lives by revealing budding cancers, silent aneurysms and other hidden would-be killers before they become deadly. " But the scans cost $2,500 a pop and insurance won't pay. Worse, for every cancer these MRIs find, they produce a slightly greater number of false positives that require a biopsy, with the potential for infection and bleeding and emotional distress. Even when the scans don't produce a false positive, they almost always come up with some vague and disconcerting abnormality.... Will we feel better after viewing our insides? Or will we become anxious about things we hadn't even thought to worry about? Part of living has always been in the mystery, in not knowing what tomorrow will bring. Now, because of sophisticated imaging, genome sequencing and other revolutionary screening tools, we can have predictability, or at least the illusion of it. But do we want that? The American College of Radiology says we do not. Its still-current 2023 statement says there is not "sufficient evidence" to recommend full-body screening, cautioning that the scan could lead to needless testing and expense. But David Larson, chair of ACR's Commission on Quality and Safety, told me that could change as more data comes in. "When people ask me, 'Would you recommend it?' I would say it depends on your tolerance for ambiguity," he said, giving the example of somebody found to have a borderline aortic aneurysm who is advised to wait and monitor it. If "that won't keep you up at night, then I wouldn't necessarily recommend against it...." About 1 in 20 gets that dreaded call. A study Prenuvo presented earlier this year of 1,011 participants found that 4.9 percent of scans required a follow-up biopsy. Of those, 2.2 percent were actually cancer, and the other 2.7 percent were false positives. Of the 22 cancers the scans caught, 86 percent of patients had no specific symptoms. But if finding something truly awful is rare, finding something abnormal is almost guaranteed. [Vikash Modi, Prenuvo's senior medical director of preventative medicine] said only 1 in 20 scans come back completely clean. The vast majority of patients wind up in the ambiguous realm where something may look suspicious but doesn't require urgent follow-up. He opted for the cheaper $1,000 torso scan, which the senior medical director calls "our bread-and-butter area," since 17 of the 22 cancers detected in one Prenuvo study were in that area and is where they often find cancers that wouldn't be discovered until they were incurable like "that scary pancreatic stuff...." Milbank's scan found 12 "abnormalities" included "a 2.5 mm pulmonary nodule in the right lower lobe" and "a 4.6 mm intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm in the pancreatic tail" — but with 10 abnormalities labeled "minor" (and six being musculoskeletal wear-and-tear problems "I already knew about from the usual aches and pains".) Even the two "moderate" findings didn't sound that grim when I read on. The "indeterminant lesion" in my lung requires no follow-up, while the thing in my pancreas is "low-risk."... The "most interesting" finding was the pancreatic cyst, because, at this size and location, there's a 3 percent chance it will become cancerous in the next five years. But if annual follow-up scans of my pancreas (covered by insurance) show it's getting bigger, the cyst can be removed before it becomes cancer. For me, this made the MRI worthwhile. Sure, there was a 97 percent likelihood the cyst never would develop into a problem even if I hadn't learned about it. But now, with minimal inconvenience, I can eliminate that 3 percent risk of getting pancreatic cancer, the most lethal of major malignancies. Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Pearl Harbor survivor Ken Schubring enlisted when he was just 17. "Everything seemed to lean toward that being in the cards sooner rather than later," the 103-year-old told WANF-TV this week, days ahead of the anniversary of the 1941 attack. "So not much of a decision to be made." Schubring ended his guard duty on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, then went to eat. "I went to eat breakfast after my duty and shortly before 8 a.m., an explosion shook our bunkers," he said at a Veterans Day ceremony at the National WWII Museum this year, according to Spirit America. "Everyone rushed outside." AMERICA'S LAST SURVIVING WWII ACE NAVY FIGHTER PILOT DONALD MCPHERSON DIES AT 103 YEARS OLD "The sky was full of airplanes, dive bombers," he continued. "I hit the deck, crawled to a ditch nearby… and stayed there until the first wave had finished." In another interview, Schubring told CBS News that despite his age, the attack was something he "can’t forget." And as one of just 13 Pearl Harbor survivors remaining alive as the 84th anniversary of the assault approaches on Sunday, he’s a rarity. JAKE LARSON, WWII VETERAN TURNED TIKTOK'S 'PAPA JAKE,' DIES AT 102, GRANDDAUGHTER ANNOUNCES His son, Ken Schubring Jr., told CBS he wants Americans to remember the "sacrifice" of those who experienced Pearl Harbor. "I mean, the sacrifice that was given that day and then, subsequently years later, I mean, you can’t put a price on that. You can’t forget it," he said. Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn said it was a "pleasure" to help Schubring get to the WWII Museum ceremony last month. "God bless the veterans who have served our country so courageously," she wrote on X last month. "It was a pleasure to help WWII Veteran and Pearl Harbor survivor Ken Schubring Sr. get to this ceremony so that he could be honored for all that he has sacrificed for our nation." After Pearl Harbor, Schubring became a flight engineer on B-29 bombers, flying missions in the Pacific. "We’d fly straight over Iwo Jima or around it to our targets," he told WANF. "The bombings were individual bombings." Schubring still remembers where he was when he heard the Japanese had surrendered. "About two hours into our return from a bombing raid over Osaka … the radio announced Emperor Hirohito had asked for an armistice," he told the station. "The war was over." Even after he left the military, Schubring continued to fight for justice, working for racial school integration in Athens, Georgia, where he was school board president. "I remember getting called a lot of bad things, but my dad never wavered," his son told CBS of the at-the-time controversial policy. View the full article
