Dem House candidate’s luxurious lifestyle clashes with ‘working-class’ campaign message
Iowa Democrat Christina Bohannan has built her campaign for Congress around the image of a hard-working, middle-class advocate who understands what it’s like “to struggle to put food on the table.” However, her real estate portfolio and financial disclosures paint a very different picture — one of expensive homes, a Florida waterfront condo and lucrative stock investments that place Bohannan among the wealthy elite she claims to want to fight against in Congress. “You know, I know what it’s like to work so hard and to, to still struggle to put food on the table,” Bohannan previously told a crowd at the Iowa State Fair. Throughout her multiple campaigns – Bohannan has run for the same seat in the House for the past two elections and lost – she has touted her history of growing up in a trailer park and being forced to choose “between putting groceries in the cart and filling prescription drugs.” In an interview with Iowa Public Radio, Bohannan reportedly reiterated once again that “she knows what it’s like to struggle.” TRUMP LANDS ANOTHER LEGAL VICTORY AS LAWSUIT AGAINST IOWA POLLSTER, DES MOINES REGISTER REMAINS IN STATE COURT However, Bohannan’s own financial disclosures and local real estate records paint a picture that clashes with her alleged working-class image. In June, Bohannan purchased University of Iowa basketball coach Fran McCaffery’s $1.55 million mansion in Iowa City, while for years she has also owned a waterfront condo inside a gated community in Sarasota, Florida. The gated community sells homes ranging from as little as $300,000 to over $1 million, plus requires thousands in annual homeowner’s fees. Meanwhile, according to Bohannan’s financial disclosures, her Sarasota condo has also helped her net as much as $50,000 in rental income annually. Bohannan’s own financial filings also show that she and her husband own over six-figures in individual tech stocks, such as Apple, Alphabet and Meta, from which they have not divested despite Bohannan’s “ETHICS PLAN” proposal aimed at compelling members of Congress to cease trading stocks while serving on Capitol Hill. Fox News Digital reached out to Bohannan for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication. Bohannan is set to take on Republican incumbent Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, who represents Iowa’s 1st Congressional District. SEE IT: SUSPECTED DRUNKEN DRIVER’S WRONG-WAY HEAD-ON CRASH CAUGHT ON DEPUTY’S DASHBOARD CAMERA Earlier this month, Bohannan attempted to stir backlash against her GOP opponent over her “true values,” pointing to a photo of Miller-Meeks sitting first-class on an airplane, “as her constituents suffer from Trump’s policies.” “This photo tells you more about Miller-Meeks’ true values than her entire town hall did,” Bohannan wrote in a tweet that included an alleged image of her Republican opponent flying first class. But the attempted jab did not go unnoticed by a locally elected district supervisor, Austin Hayek, who slammed Bohannan for worrying about Miller-Meeks sitting first class when she had just bought a $1.55 million mansion. “Christina Bohannan is concerned with 1st class – weird since she just bought a $1.55 million dollar home,” Hayek commented on Bohannan’s photo of Miller-Meeks allegedly sitting first class. “Seems she’s wanting others to share the wealth, but not herself and she cares more about her personal living than the ‘poor,’” the local elected official concluded. “Stop the virtue signally [sic].”
Trump admin ends Temporary Protected Status for Burmese migrants
The Trump administration on Monday ended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Burmese migrants, deeming conditions in the country to have improved enough for citizens to return safely. “This decision restores TPS to its original status as temporary,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement. “Burma has made notable progress in governance and stability, including the end of its state of emergency, plans for free and fair elections, successful ceasefire agreements, and improved local governance contributing to enhanced public service delivery and national reconciliation.” Burma, also known as Myanmar, was first designated for TPS in May 2021 by then-Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. In March 2024, Mayorkas extended TPS for Burma for 18 months, making its expiration date Nov. 25, 2025. TRUMP TERMINATES DEPORTATION PROTECTIONS FOR SOMALI NATIONALS LIVING IN MINNESOTA ‘EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY’ U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said in its announcement that the designation will end on Jan. 26, 2026. It noted that Noem came to the decision “after conferring with interagency partners” and that she “further determined that permitting Burmese nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to the national interest of the United States.” USCIS also said that Burmese nationals are encouraged to use the U.S. Customs and Border Protection CBP Home app, which is designed for self-deportations. Since January 2025, Noem has ended TPS for migrants from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Nepal, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Syria and South Sudan. FEDERAL JUDGE FINDS ‘RACIAL AND DISCRIMINATORY ANIMUS’ IN TRUMP MOVE TO CANCEL TEMPORARY PROTECTED STATUS USCIS issued a statement on Nov. 13 saying it was “ending exploitation” by ensuring that TPS would be “truly temporary.” Additionally, it announced the implementation of “rigorous screening and vetting protocols.” “The distinction between legal and illegal immigration becomes meaningless when both can destroy a country at its foundation,” USCIS spokesman Matthew Tragesser said in the statement. “Unchecked mass migration floods the American labor market, depressing wages and taking jobs away from hardworking Americans, while straining healthcare, education, and housing systems.” On Friday, President Donald Trump said he would move to end TPS for Somali migrants in Minnesota following a bombshell report tracing money in the hands to Al-Shabaab terrorists to a series of fraud schemes in the North Star State. “Minnesota, under Governor Waltz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity. I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS program) for Somalis in Minnesota. Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great state, and BILLIONS of dollars are missing. Send them back to where they came from. It’s OVER!,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Comey expects further legal scrutiny from Trump admin, criticizes ‘fools who would frighten us’
Former FBI Director James Comey hailed the federal judge who dismissed the federal indictment against him on Monday, saying the case against him was based on “malevolence and incompetence.” Judge Cameron Currie dismissed the false statements charges against Comey in a Monday ruling, finding that they were brought by an unqualified U.S. attorney. President Donald Trump‘s administration maintains that the attorney, Lindsay Halligan, was legally appointed and has indicated they plan to pursue further legal action. “I’m grateful that the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence and incompetence, and a reflection of what the Department of Justice has become under Donald Trump, which is heartbreaking,” Comey said, before thanking the lawyers who represented him in the case. “This case mattered to me personally, obviously, but it matters most because a message has to be sent. That the president of the United States cannot use the Department of Justice to target his political enemies. I don’t care what your politics are. You have to see that as fundamentally un-American and a threat to the rule of law that keeps all of us free,” he continued. FEDERAL JUDGE CALLS COMEY INDICTMENT INTO QUESTION, ASKS IF HALLIGAN IS A ‘PUPPET’ FOR TRUMP Comey went on to say that he expects the Trump administration to continue coming after him despite the legal setback. He called on Americans to “stand up” against the “fools who would frighten us,” suggesting Trump is a “would-be tyrant.” Currie’s ruling also threw out the DOJ’s case against New York Attorney General Letitia James, citing the same reason. “I conclude that the Attorney General’s attempt to install Ms. [Lindsey] Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was invalid and that Ms. Halligan has been unlawfully serving in that role since September 22, 2025,” Currie wrote. JAMES COMEY SEEKS TO DISMISS HIS CRIMINAL CASE, CITING ‘VINDICTIVE’ PROSECUTION Currie, a Clinton appointee based in South Carolina, was brought in from out of state to preside over proceedings about the question of Halligan’s authority because it presented a conflict for the Virginia judges. Comey’s and James’ challenges to Halligan’s appointment were consolidated because of their similarity. Halligan acted alone in presenting charges to the grand juries shortly after Trump ousted the prior interim U.S. attorney, Erik Siebert, and urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to replace him with Halligan, a former White House aide and insurance lawyer. Bondi complied, but Currie found the interim U.S. attorney term had already expired under Siebert and that the Virginia judges were now responsible for appointing a temporary U.S. attorney to serve until Trump could get one confirmed in the Senate. Trump has been unable to persuade the Senate to confirm several U.S. attorneys in blue states, leading the president and Bondi to sidestep the upper chamber at times to install Trump’s preferred appointees, such as Halligan. Currie’s decision comes after federal judges also disqualified appointees in California, New Jersey and Nevada. Fox News’ Ashley Oliver contributed to this report.
