Massachusetts attorney general sues White nationalist group for civil rights violations
Massachusetts’ attorney general has filed a lawsuit accusing a white nationalist group of civil rights violations, saying it repeatedly subjected LGBTQ+ events and facilities sheltering migrant families to intimidation and harassment. The complaint filed Thursday against NSC-131 and two of its leaders, Christopher Hood of Newburyport and Liam McNeil of Waltham, accuses the group of engaging “in violent, threatening, and intimidating conduct that violated state civil rights laws and unlawfully interfered with public safety.” “NSC-131 has engaged in a concerted campaign to target and terrorize people across Massachusetts and interfere with their rights. Our complaint is the first step in holding this neo-Nazi group and its leaders accountable for their unlawful actions against members of our community,” Attorney General Andrea Campbell said in a statement. MARYLAND AG REINSTATES HATE CRIME TASK FORCE MEMBER WHO CLAIMED ISRAELI BABIES MURDERED BY HAMAS WERE ‘FAKE’ According to the complaint, the group repeatedly targeted drag story hours around the state between July 2022 and January 2023, attempting to shut down the events and attacking members of the public. The group also targeted migrant shelters from October 2022 and October 2023, prosecutors allege. The Associated Press wasn’t able to reach Hood or McNeil for comment about the lawsuit or determine if either has an attorney. A number listed for Hood had been disconnected and a number could not be found for McNeil. The group didn’t immediately respond to messages sent through Gab and Telegram. The Anti-Defamation League describes NSC-131 as a New England-based neo-Nazi group founded in 2019 that “espouses racism, antisemitism and intolerance” and whose “membership is a collection of neo-Nazis and racist skinheads, many of whom have previous membership in other white supremacist groups.” Earlier this year, a New Hampshire judge dismissed trespassing complaints against the group. Prosecutors there said the group displayed “Keep New England White” banners from an overpass without a permit in July. In March 2022, about a dozen masked members of NSC-131 attended South Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day parade as spectators and held up a banner that said “Keep Boston Irish.” The parade’s organizers and Mayor Michelle Wu denounced the group’s appearance.
74 House members issue letter calling on MIT, Harvard, UPenn boards to ‘immediately remove’ presidents
Seventy-four House members sent a bipartisan letter to the governing boards of Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Pennsylvania, calling on all three to take immediate action to remove the president of each respective institution. The letter, obtained by Fox News Digital, was signed by 74 House of Representatives members from both parties, and specifically calls out MIT President Sally Kornbluth, UPenn President Liz Magill, and Harvard President Claudine Gay, for failing to say if calls for the genocide of Jewish people would violate university policies during a congressional hearing Tuesday. The letter was signed by Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla.; Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La.; Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J.; Rep. Mike Ezell, R-Miss., and many more. Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., among those who signed the letter, asked Gay, Magill and Kornbluth if calling for the genocide of Jews would violate their university’s policies. STEFANIK BLASTS HARVARD PRESIDENT OVER APOLOGY REGARDING JEWISH GENOCIDE COMMENTS: ‘I ASKED YOU 17X’ “If the speech turns into conduct, it can be harassment. Yes,” Magill responded, later adding, “It is a context-dependent decision.” “It can be, depending on the context,” Gay responded. Kornbluth responded to the question, saying it would be considered harassment only if it’s “targeted at individuals, not making public statements” and if it was “pervasive and severe.” “There is no context in which calls for the genocide of Jews are acceptable rhetoric. Their failure to unequivocally condemn calls for the systematic murder of Jews is deeply alarming. It stands in stark contrast to the principles we expect leaders of top academic institutions to uphold,” the bipartisan letter states. “It is hard to imagine any Jewish or Israeli student, faculty, or staff feeling safe when presidents of your member institutions could not say that calls for the genocide of Jews would have clear consequences on your campus. “If calls for genocide of the Jewish people are not in violation of your universities’ policies, then your universities are operating under a clear double standard.” Also in the letter, House members called on the governing boards of each institution to immediately remove Gay, Magill, and Kornbluth. UPENN BOARD MEMBERS TELL PRESIDENT TO ‘RESIGN’ IF SHE CAN’T PERFORM ROLE EFFECTIVELY: REPORT “Given this moment of crisis, we demand that your boards immediately remove each of these presidents from their positions and that you provide an actionable plan to ensure that Jewish and Israeli students, teachers, and faculty are safe on your campuses,” the members of Congress stated. “Anything less than these steps will be seen as your endorsement of what Presidents Gay, Magill, and Kornbluth said to Congress and an act of complicity in their antisemitic posture. The world is watching — you can stand with your Jewish students and faculty, or you can choose the side of dangerous antisemitism.” Magill would later walked back her comments in a video posted to X on Wednesday. “There was a moment during yesterday’s congressional hearing on antisemitism when I was asked if a call for the genocide of Jewish people on our campus would violate our policies. In that moment, I was focused on our university’s long-standing policies aligned with the U.S. Constitution, which says that speech alone is not punishable,” Magill said. “I was not focused on, but I should have been, on the irrefutable fact that a call for genocide of Jewish people is a call for some of the most terrible violence human beings can perpetrate.” In an interview with The Harvard Crimson published Thursday, Gay apologized for her remarks before Congress earlier in the week, saying “I am sorry…Words matter.” “When words amplify distress and pain, I don’t know how you could feel anything but regret,” Gay said. “I got caught up in what had become at that point, an extended, combative exchange about policies and procedures. In a statement to Fox News Digital, an MIT spokesperson said that “MIT and our president, Sally Kornbluth, reject antisemitism in all its forms,” and pointed to a statement from the school’s governing board. “The MIT Corporation chose Sally to be our president for her outstanding academic leadership, her judgment, her integrity, her moral compass, and her ability to unite our community around MIT’s core values. She has done excellent work in leading our community, including in addressing antisemitism, Islamophobia, and other forms of hate, which we reject utterly at MIT. She has our full and unreserved support,” the MIT Corporation wrote. Fox News Digital reached out to Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania for comment.

2024 White House hopefuls shred DOJ, ‘deep state’ over timing of Hunter Biden indictment: ‘Slow-walked’
Multiple candidates hoping to replace Joe Biden as president in next year’s presidential election pulled no punches Friday in response to the indictment of his son, Hunter, a day earlier. The indictment, which was handed down Thursday by DOJ Special Counsel David Weiss in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, included nine charges alleging a “four-year scheme” when Hunter did not pay his federal income taxes from January 2017 to October 2020 while also filing false tax reports. “The timing of the Hunter Biden tax indictment is one more sign that the deep state is planning to sideline Biden & pick a new puppet for 2024, all the while using this indictment as a perfect fig leaf to claim that the Trump prosecutions aren’t politically motivated. Kills two birds with one stone,” Republican entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy wrote in a post on X. DEFIANT HUNTER BIDEN SAYS REPUBLICAN ‘MOTHERF—ERS’ ARE ‘TRYING TO KILL ME’ Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley also a Republican, agreed in her own X post on the timing of the indictment, describing it as a sign of deeper issues within the DOJ. “The fact that the Justice Department slow-walked the Hunter Biden case despite serious allegations & nearly gave him a slap-on-the-wrist plea deal a few months ago shows how damaged the Justice Dept. has become. We need to clean it out from top to bottom,” she wrote, referencing Hunter’s plea agreement on two federal tax charges and a gun charge that fell apart in July. When asked about the indictment during a press gaggle in Iowa, Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he didn’t trust the DOJ, and that he was unsure how it ultimately reached the point of the indictment when it did. WATCH: BIDEN IGNORES REPORTERS WHEN PRESSED ON HUNTER’S NEW INDICTMENT “Obviously, I think Hunter Biden has a lot of problems with criminal liability. I’ve been saying that for a long time. I wonder whether this is something where they’re going to be able to point to and say, see, you can’t say that they’re going after Trump because they’re even going after the president’s son, and that is totally apolitical,” he said. He said he expected Biden to eventually pardon Hunter and that the president’s son would never “actually face full justice.” He added that he was skeptical of the motivations behind the indictment. Former Republican Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson took a different approach, telling Fox News Digital that Hunter “should be treated like everyone else” accused of a crime. “We should stand back and let the case proceed without politics overhanging every court appearance. No one should rejoice in the President’s son being indicted, but I am a rule of law champion, and it seems our system of Justice is working even though it was almost derailed by a premature plea agreement that the Court rejected,” he said, also referencing Hunter’s failed plea agreement mentioned by Haley. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s campaign didn’t immediately respond to Fox’s request for comment on the indictment, but the Republican candidate did address the allegations of corrupt business dealings by Hunter and Joe Biden during an appearance on a New Hampshire radio show Friday morning. “The relationship between Hunter and Joe – who knows what we’re going to find out? Is there a financial relationship between the two of them? I think there’s no doubt the father has provided support to the son. There’s no doubt about that,” Christie said. “I have no doubt knowing Joe Biden – I’ve known him for 40 years – that he would be supportive of his son’s business ventures.” FROM SEX CLUBS TO STRIPPERS: HERE ARE THE 5 MOST SALACIOUS DETAILS FROM THE HUNTER BIDEN INDICTMENT Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. declined to comment on Biden’s indictment. Fox reached out to the campaigns of Democrat Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips, Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein, independent candidate Cornel West, Democrat candidate Marianne Williamson, Biden and former President Donald Trump, and asked about the indictment, but did not immediately receive responses. Fox has also reached out to the DOJ for comment. Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more at our Fox News Digital election hub.
Stefanik blasts Harvard president over apology regarding Jewish genocide comments: ‘I asked you 17x’
Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., criticized Harvard University President Claudine Gay after she apologized for remarks made on antisemitism during a congressional hearing Tuesday. In an interview with The Harvard Crimson published Thursday, Gay apologized for her remarks before Congress earlier in the week, saying “I am sorry…Words matter.” “When words amplify distress and pain, I don’t know how you could feel anything but regret,” Gay said. “I got caught up in what had become at that point, an extended, combative exchange about policies and procedures. “What I should have had the presence of mind to do in that moment was return to my guiding truth, which is that calls for violence against our Jewish community — threats to our Jewish students — have no place at Harvard, and will never go unchallenged,” added Gay. “Substantively, I failed to convey what is my truth.” HARVARD PRESIDENT APOLOGIZES, SAYS SHE FEELS ‘REGRET’ FOLLOWING TESTIMONY BEFORE CONGRESS Stefanik, however, isn’t taking her apology seriously. “No, Dr. Gay. You were given an opportunity to speak your truth. And you did. Not once. Not twice Not 5x. Not 10x I asked you 17x(!!!) in the hearing about whether calling for the genocide of Jews violates @Harvard code of conduct. You spoke your truth under oath 17x. And the world heard it,” Stefanik posted on X. Stefanik asked Gay during the hearing if calls for the genocide of Jews on campus would violate Harvard’s code of conduct related to bullying and harassment. “At Harvard, does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard’s rules of bullying and harassment?” Stefanik asked. “It can be, depending on the context,” Gay responded. Stefanik pressed Gay, asking her to give a yes or no answer to her original question. RABBI RESIGNS FROM HARVARD’S ANTISEMITISM BOARD FOLLOWING SCHOOL PRESIDENT’S ‘PAINFULLY INADEQUATE TESTIMONY’ “Antisemitic speech when it crosses into conduct that amounts to bullying, harassment, intimidation — that is actionable conduct, and we do take action,” Gay said. Stefanik continued to press Gay, but she responded, “Again, it depends on the context.” “It does not depend on the context. The answer is yes and this is why you should resign,” Gay shot back. “These are unacceptable answers across the board.” Following the exchange, Rabbi David Wolpe, a visiting scholar at Harvard Divinity School, announced his resignation from the university’s antisemitism board. “As of today I have resigned from the antisemitism advisory committee at Harvard,” Wolpe wrote on X. “Without rehashing all of the obvious reasons that have been endlessly adumbrated online, and with great respect for the members of the committee, the short explanation is that both events on campus and the painfully inadequate testimony reinforced the idea that I cannot make the sort of difference I had hoped.” Fox News Digital reached out to Harvard for comment.

Gun rights group applauds after federal appeals court deals blow to NY concealed carry law
Gun rights activists cheered Friday after a federal appeals court struck down parts of New York’s expansive concealed carry law. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit blocked three provisions of New York’s “Concealed Carry Improvement Act” (CCIA), a law Democrats passed last year in response to a Supreme Court ruling that declared the state’s previous concealed carry permitting requirements unconstitutional. In doing so, the appeals court allowed other parts of the law to go into effect. In a 261-page ruling, the three-judge panel struck down a requirement that gun owners disclose their social media accounts for review when applying for a concealed carry permit. The court also blocked restrictions on carrying firearms on private property that is accessible to the public, as well as a restriction on concealed carry in houses of worship. However, controversial parts of the law remain intact, including a requirement that applicants demonstrate good moral character and disclose household and family members on a permit application. New York will also be allowed to enforce bans on concealed carry in so-called “sensitive places,” including theaters, bars, public parks and other spaces. SUPREME COURT REJECTS NEW YORK GUN RETAILERS’ BID TO BLOCK NEW CONCEALED CARRY LAWS Gun rights activists praised the court’s decision but said the judges failed to faithfully apply the Supreme Court’s precedent, arguing the entire law should be thrown out. “Governor [Kathy] Hochul and her cabal in Albany never seem to get the message, and in turn, GOA is proud to have played a major role in rebuking her unconstitutional law,” Gun Owners of America (GOA) Senior Vice President Erich Pratt said in a statement. “Nevertheless, this was not a total victory, and we will continue the fight until this entire law is sent to the bowels of history where it belongs,” Pratt added. Friday’s decision is the first federal court ruling to consider potential limits on where licensed gun owners can carry concealed firearms since the Supreme Court expanded gun rights in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen (2022). Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in that opinion for the court that “the Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect an individual’s right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home.” NRA CALLS CHUCK SCHUMER’S LATEST GUN BILL ‘ATTACK’ ON CONSTITUTION The consequences of the Supreme Court’s ruling have been far-reaching, upending gun regulations in several states. The circuit court judges acknowledged their ruling won’t be the final word on New York’s gun control law as the case winds its way through lower courts. “Our affirmance or vacatur of the district courts’ injunctions does not determine the ultimate constitutionality of the challenged CCIA provisions, which await further briefing, discovery, and historical analysis, both in these cases as they proceed and perhaps in other cases,” the panel wrote. The court said that lower courts were wrong to strike down New York’s requirement that concealed carry permit applicants demonstrate “good moral character,” arguing such a requirement is consistent with the nation’s historical traditions of firearms regulation. FEMALE GUN OWNERSHIP EXPLODES AS WOMEN VOW TO BE ‘THEIR OWN FIRST RESPONDERS’ “The CCIA’s definition of ‘character’ is a proxy for dangerousness: whether the applicant, if licensed to carry a firearm, is likely to pose a danger to himself, others, or public safety,” the judges wrote. “And there is widespread consensus (notwithstanding some disputes at the margins) that restrictions which prevent dangerous individuals from wielding lethal weapons are part of the nation’s tradition of firearm regulation,” their opinion declared. “We therefore cannot conclude that every denial on grounds of ‘good moral character’ as defined by New York will violate the Second Amendment, though various avenues lie open for as-applied challenges.” New York Attorney General Letitia James said the court’s decision will help keep New Yorkers safe from gun violence. “Today’s decision to permit the state to enforce critical provisions of the Concealed Carry Improvement Act as the court process moves forward will help keep New Yorkers safe,” James said in a statement. “This commonsense law was enacted to keep guns out of dangerous hands and away from schools, hospitals, parks, public transportation, and other sensitive locations. My office will continue to defend New York’s gun laws and use every tool to protect New Yorkers from senseless gun violence.”
Democrats want to tighten rules for weapons given to foreign countries as US supports Israel
A group of Senate Democrats are working on an amendment to the national supplemental package to ensure any weapons received by another country are used in accordance with U.S. and international humanitarian laws. “The amendment points specifically to provisions within the Foreign Assistance Act, namely the Humanitarian Aid Corridor Act, as well as the Arms Export Control Act,” a Senate aide told Fox News Digital on Friday. Sens. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md.; Dick Durbin, D-Ill.; Tim Kaine, D-Va.; Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii; Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.; Jeff Merkley, D-Ore.; Peter Welch, D-Vt.; Martin Heinrich, D-N.M.; Tom Carper, D-Del.; Ben Ray, Luján D-N.M.; Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.; Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii; and Ed Markey, D-Mass., are sponsoring the amendment. The amendment from the senators mandates that the president must inform Congress within 30 days about countries getting military aid funded by American taxpayers and whether those countries meet the updated criteria. It also inquires whether their use of U.S-supplied weapons aligns with Department of Defense (DOD) policies aimed at minimizing harm to civilians. TOP REPUBLICANS RAISE CONCERNS OVER EVENTBRITE’S POLICIES AS ‘ANTISEMITIC’ EVENTS REMAIN VISIBLE “U.S. assistance to our allies and partners has always come with the expectation that they will follow international laws of war,” Kaine said Thursday in a statement. “This global amendment reaffirms the need to protect innocent civilians caught in conflict zones and ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid to vulnerable populations. We must ensure that even as we stand with our partners and allies across the world, our support remains consistent with the core values and strong support for human rights expressed by the American people.” The amendment comes as there have been growing cries from progressive Democrats to eliminate the death of innocent Palestinians in the West Bank who are caught in the crossfire of the conflict between Hamas and Israel. Some have also called for a complete ceasefire and conditions on the emergency aid to Israel. HERE’S WHAT’S IN HUNTER BIDEN’S NEW CALIFORNIA INDICTMENT President Biden’s request earmarked more than $10 billion for Israel’s military defense and $3.5 billion in military financing that would allow Israel to buy weapons from the U.S. Warren said in a statement that “American support cannot be a blank check to a right-wing Netanyahu government that has demonstrated a gross disregard for the lives of Palestinian civilians.” “U.S. military aid always includes conditions, and there is no exception, even for our allies,” she said. Van Hollen said it’s “critical” that the U.S. “hold all nations who receive our assistance to the same standards — and that includes ensuring the use of this assistance is in line with U.S. law, international humanitarian law, and the law of armed conflict.” “We must also insist that our partners cooperate with us in allowing the delivery of humanitarian assistance,” he said. Last month, Palestinian officials said more than 10,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the start of the Israel-Hamas war on Oct. 7.
Missouri Democrat loses committee assignments after sharing photo with alleged Holocaust denier
A Missouri House Democrat has been removed from her committee assignments after posting a photo on social media showed her with a man cited by the Anti-Defamation League as a Holocaust denier. State Rep. Sarah Unsicker of St. Louis County is also running for attorney general in 2024. Her ouster from four committees was announced Thursday by House Minority Leader Crystal Quade. Quade said that Unsicker, who was first elected in 2016, has been “a strong advocate for society’s vulnerable, especially children,” during her time in office. RABBI RESIGNS FROM HARVARD’S ANTISEMITISM BOARD FOLLOWING SCHOOL PRESIDENT’S ‘PAINFULLY INADEQUATE TESTIMONY’ “Recently, however, she has chosen to use social media to promote individuals who espouse baseless conspiracies and racist and anti-Semitic ideologies that are antithetical to the values of inclusiveness, tolerance and respect House Democrats are dedicated to upholding,” Quade said in a statement. The announcement came after Unsicker posted a photo on X, formerly Twitter, of her at a restaurant with a local social media influencer and the man who the Anti-Defamation League cites as having denied the Holocaust. “I’m an adult and capable of choosing my friendships,” Unsicker wrote in one post. In addition to losing committee assignments, Quade said Unsicker could be removed from the House Democratic Caucus, just weeks before the legislative session starts in January In a statement Thursday, Unsicker said she was confused by Quade’s action. “I have not been offered any explanation of how my behavior was different from my typical behavior, including my refusal to respond to slanderous representations about others,” Unsicker said. She declined interview requests Friday.
Legal experts warn Hunter Biden faces ‘real chance of jail time’ if convicted on new tax felony charges
Legal experts warn that Hunter Biden could face “a real chance of jail time” if convicted on his new felony tax charges. George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley told Fox News Digital said Biden could face jail time if he is convicted of the three felony tax charges filed by special counsel David Weiss in California Thursday. Turley said Weiss repeatedly emphasized in Biden’s indictment “that this was a four-year effort to knowingly evade taxes to spend on ‘an extravagant lifestyle.’” HERE’S WHAT’S IN HUNTER BIDEN’S NEW CALIFORNIA INDICTMENT “It is hard to see how prosecutors would make such a case and not seek jail time for knowingly criminal conduct. Moreover, given the evasion going back to 2016, it is hard for the court to dismiss this as a first-offender novice,” Turley said. “There is a real chance of jail time if he is convicted on the three felonies.” Former deputy independent counsel Sol Wisenberg told Fox News Digital “it is very hard to say” what the average American would face if convicted of Biden’s charges “because federal judges typically grant a ‘downward variance’ from the advisory sentencing guidelines range in tax cases.” “Also, the sentence depends on whether you plead guilty and accept responsibility or take the government to trial and lose,” Wisenberg said. “I would guess that a typical citizen who pleaded guilty to the charges would end up getting anywhere from one to three years,” he added. The experts’ comments come as the younger Biden navigates expanding legal woes as his father, President Biden, seeks re-election to a second term. Hunter Biden is facing nine charges alleging a “four-year scheme” when he did not pay his federal income taxes from January 2017 to October 2020 while also filing false tax reports. The charges break down to three felonies and six misdemeanors from $1.4 million in owed taxes that have since been paid. Special counsel David Weiss alleged Hunter Biden “engaged in a four-year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019, from in or about January 2017 through in or about October 15, 2020, and to evade the assessment of taxes for tax year 2018 when he filed false returns in or about February 2020.” Weiss said that, in “furtherance of that scheme,” the younger Biden “subverted the payroll and tax withholding process of his own company, Owasco, PC by withdrawing millions” from the company “outside of the payroll and tax withholding process that it was designed to perform.” Counts one, two, four and nine allege that Hunter did not pay his taxes in the years 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Counts three and five allege Hunter failed to file his taxes in the years 2017 and 2018. Count five of the indictment noted Hunter raked in a “gross income in excess of $2.1 million” and alleged the presidential scion failed to pay his taxes on his millions of dollars of income. Count six alleges Hunter’s “evasion of assessment for 2018 Form 1040” regarding his taxes, while count seven alleges Hunter filed “a false and fraudulent 2018 Form 1040.” The sixth count also alleges Hunter “finally filed his 2018 Form 1040 in 2020 in order to avoid being held in contempt of court in two civil proceedings.” Additionally, count eight alleges Hunter filed “a false and fraudulent 2018 Form 1120.” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday the president would not be pardoning his son if he’s convicted. “Nothing has changed. That is still the case,” Jean-Pierre said when asked if Biden will pardon Hunter. “I mean, the president has said this before, and he will continue to say, which is that he loves his son and supports him as he continues to rebuild his life,” Jean-Pierre said. “And I’m going to be really careful to not comment on this and refer to Department of Justice or my colleagues at the White House counsel. But that’s what I’m going to. I’m not going to go beyond telling you all what the president has said over and over again. He’s proud of his son, and he is building his life back.” Fox News Digital’s Stepheny Price contributed reporting.
