The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department said it is investigating new claims of sexual assault against Sean “Diddy” Combs made by a man in Florida.

The hip-hop mogul was sentenced in October on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution after he was acquitted on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. He was sentenced to 50 months in prison but will get credit for time already served.

The man said that he was so shocked that he did not respond.

Investigators said they received a report about the allegations against Combs from a police department in Florida on Friday.

That report was made by a man in September to police about an alleged incident of sexual assault in 2020. The man said that Combs had gratified himself in front of the man and then asked him to join in. The man said that he was so shocked that he did not respond and Combs tossed a shirt at him that he had soiled.

The identity of the man was redacted from the report, but music producer Jonathan Hay later identified himself on social media posts.

Hay is also one of the people who filed a civil lawsuit against Combs in July.

He also alleges that he and Combs participated in the sexual assault of C.J. Wallace, the son of deceased rapper Christopher Wallace, whose stage name was Notorious B.I.G. C.J. Wallace has filed a lawsuit against Hay for what he called “wildly false and defamatory allegations.”

Trump has said that Combs asked him for a pardon, although Combs’ attorney said he had no knowledge of such a request.

A spokesperson for the Largo Police Department said the department was not investigating any alleged Combs crimes independently but said it is assisting the East Los Angeles Sheriff’s Office.

Neither representatives for Combs nor Wallace responded to requests for comment, according to ABC News.

Atlanta police last week shared a video report they said demonstrates that “in moments of crisis, true heroes emerge.”

On the night of Oct. 21, Officer Malik Safi was responding to a call for backup — but he never arrived at the scene, officials said.

‘I feel extremely proud of them both. I feel like they did exactly what they were taught to do — to help and have empathy for other people.’

Instead, Safi crashed into a house, setting both the residence and his patrol vehicle on fire, officials said.

WSB-TV reported that Safi also suffered serious injuries in the crash and was trapped inside the vehicle.

But fortunately brothers Keshun Robinson and Ryan Beck — and others — were around to help.

In fact, they braved the flames and pulled Safi out of his burning cruiser and to safety. That heroic action is captured, in part, on Safi’s body-worn camera.

“We just went off our heart,” Beck later said. “[It’s] how we was raised, you know. We didn’t want to see nobody suffer in that type of situation. We just hopped out and sprung into action.”

Robinson added, “We just tried to comfort [the officer] and let him know that he wasn’t there by himself.”

But the danger wasn’t over.

Soon gunshots were ringing out — and Robinson said “one of [the officer’s] guns that was in the car actually started going off.”

With that, police said the group had to move Safi yet again, this time pulling him all the way to a sidewalk.

What’s more, an unknown woman seen and heard on Safi’s bodycam video got on police radio and told dispatch he needed help.

WSB said the officer was taken to a hospital, and police noted that the “bravery and selflessness” of the two brothers and the other Good Samaritans “saved Officer Safi’s life.”

Later Beck noted to police that his mother raised him and his brother to live by the Golden Rule: “Treat people how you want to be treated.”

Their mother, Keziah Reed, also appeared in the police department’s video report and said, “I feel extremely proud of them both. I feel like they did exactly what they were taught to do — to help and have empathy for other people.”

Robinson added that perhaps the best part of the experience was when his own son called him a hero. “It means the world to me. It lit up my day. It made me a proud human being — not even [as] a father — just a proud person.”

Police noted that “these residents remind us that community truly means neighbors looking out for one another when it matters most. From all of us at the Atlanta Police Department, thank you for your extraordinary courage.”

Michelle Obama is making waves after claiming that black women have been trapped by the beauty standards of white people, which is why they straighten their hair.

The former first lady went on her rant during a live sit-down with Tracee Ellis Ross to discuss her new book, “The Look.”

“Let me explain something to white people,” Obama said. “Our hair comes out of our head naturally in a curly pattern. So when we’re straightening it to follow your beauty standards, we’re trapped by the straightness.”

“That’s why so many of us can’t swim and we run away from the water … trying to keep our hair straight for y’all! It is exhausting and it’s so expensive and it takes up so much time. Braids are for y’all so we can work harder and focus on the work,” she continued.

“Why do we need an act, an act of law, to tell white folks to get out of our hair? Don’t tell me how to wear my hair. Don’t wonder about it. Don’t touch it. Just don’t,” she added.

BlazeTV host Pat Gray is not amused by Obama’s little rant.

“Can you imagine if this was a white person saying, ‘All right, let me talk down to black people. Let me explain something to you black people about reality.’ … You’re an instant racist if you say that. And you’re labeled as such the rest of your life,” he says on “Pat Gray Unleashed.”

“There’s no escape from that. How is she immune to all of that?” he asks.

“Good lord,” executive producer Keith Malinak chimes in, adding, “She is insane.”

A staffer for a Democrat U.S. senator is looking for a new job after allegedly pretending to be an immigration attorney in order to help a previously deported illegal alien.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Acting Director Todd Lyons informed Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois on Wednesday about the accusations against Edward York.

‘I can confirm that neither I nor my leadership team was aware of, authorized, or directed what your letter describes as the employee’s conduct.’

The staffer was accused of intervening on behalf of a 40-year-old named Jose Ismeal Ayuzo Sandoval who had been previously deported four times to Mexico and had been convicted of a DUI.

“At approximately 1:29 p.m., an individual identified as Edward York, who according to publicly available information, is employed as a Constituent Outreach Coordinator for your Senate office, entered the field office lobby, and in a discussion with a federal officer, claimed to be Mr. Ayuzo’s attorney. Mr. York demanded to speak with his ‘client,’” according to Lyons’ letter.

“This staff member allegedly did so to gain access to the detainee and seek his release from custody, and he accomplished it by falsifying an official Department of Homeland Security (DHS) form,” he added.

York allegedly got Ayuzo to sign a form that allows an attorney to represent him in communications with immigration officials.

On Monday, Duckworth indicated that York had been fired.

“Upon reviewing the matter, I can confirm that neither I nor my leadership team was aware of, authorized, or directed what your letter describes as the employee’s conduct,” according to the letter obtained by Fox News.

She said he was fired effective on Monday.

Duckworth has been very critical of ICE after President Donald Trump ramped up operations for mass deportations.

“I was on the ground today in Broadview with @SenatorDurbin (D-Ill.) to conduct Congressional oversight on ICE’s processing facility. As elected officials, we have a duty to ensure transparency within federal facilities. What is ICE hiding?” she posted in October.

“I literally spoke with a mother whose son is terrified that his teacher, Miss Diana, was taken. Republicans are siding with ICE’s lies and cruelty over our children,” she wrote in November.

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia said she has been targeted with violent threats and suggested that they are related to a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

Greene tried to tie the threats to rhetoric from President Donald Trump and others who had criticized her over the vote, which is scheduled for Tuesday.

‘The toxic and dangerous rhetoric in politics must end and we need healing in this country for all Americans.’

“President Trump’s unwarranted and vicious attacks against me were a dog whistle to dangerous radicals that could lead to serious attacks on me and my family,” she wrote on social media.

Greene said that she had previously been the target of death threats and swatting calls from the left but went on to say the current threats were likely from the right.

“Now that President Trump has called me a traitor, which is absolutely untrue and horrific. Mark Levin has been calling me a traitor. And so have other prominent likely paid social medial activists. This puts blood in the water and creates a feeding frenzy. And it could ultimately lead to a harmful or even deadly outcome,” she said.

“Also, the timing of this just happens to be days before we take the vote on releasing the Epstein files,” she added. “I love America and the American people, and I swore an oath to uphold the constitution and always do so. I am not a traitor.”

She said that her construction company’s office building had received a pipe bomb threat.

A spokesperson for the Rome Police Department confirmed in an email statement to Blaze News that they had received threat reports related to Greene.

“While the threats directed at Congresswoman Greene’s business occurred in a different jurisdiction in Georgia, we can confirm that Rome Police were notified of an unordered pizza delivery, as well as received two email threats referencing her family, at an address within our jurisdiction,” read the statement.

Greene blamed the president’s rhetoric against her, adding, “When the President of the United States irresponsibly calls a Member of Congress of his own party, traitor, he is signaling what must be done to a traitor.”

She included a clip explaining how hoax pizza deliveries are used to intimidate targets by letting them know that their residence is known to their critics.

“The toxic and dangerous rhetoric in politics must end and we need healing in this country for all Americans,” Greene concluded.

Also on Monday, the president posted on social media that he supported Republicans voting to release the Epstein files.

“As always, we take any threat seriously and follow established investigative procedures, regardless of political context,” continued the police statement. “The Rome Police Department remains committed to thoroughly investigating all credible threats and ensuring the safety of every member of our community without regard to political affiliation or public profile.”

Greene has also been one of the few Republicans to call the Israeli military operation against Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip a “genocide.” She went on to argue against U.S. involvement in the Middle East unrest.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) dropped out of the 2016 presidential race after his crushing defeat in the Indiana Republican primary by then-candidate Donald Trump. It seems that Cruz did not, however, drop his aspirations of one day taking the White House.

Cruz kept his powder dry during the 2020 presidential election and, in 2024, successfully ran for a third term in the U.S. Senate. Now, the 54-year-old Calgary-born senator appears to be preparing for a 2028 presidential bid.

Unfortunately for Cruz, MAGA influencers do not appear too impressed by his recent attacks on Tucker Carlson, which some regard as proxy attacks on Vice President JD Vance, who is far and away the 2028 Republican front-runner, by even Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s admission.

‘Cruz is gonna have a tough time.’

On Monday, Axios highlighted a number of signs that Cruz is indeed “laying the groundwork” for a 2028 bid, such as hitting the speaker circuit, endorsing midterm candidates, and securing a date to host a big donor retreat next year.

The liberal publication suggested further that it’s clear from his recent salvo against Tucker Carlson that Cruz is simultaneously courting powerful pro-Israel donors, some of whom aligned themselves with Nikki Haley in her humiliating 2024 GOP primary run against Trump; “staking out turf as a traditional, pro-interventionist Republican”; and setting the stage for a battle with Vance, who is not only a Carlson ally but unmistakably at odds with the tack taken by the George W. Bush-era GOP.

Axios stated that “by poking at Carlson’s isolationist foreign policy views, accusing him of anti-Semitism and more, Cruz is putting himself on a collision course with Vice President Vance.”

Vance, like Carlson, has criticized the protraction of the war in Ukraine; cautioned against new regime-change wars; emphasized that the U.S. is “not at war with Iran”; and noted that American and Israeli foreign policy are not always aligned.

Cruz has indicated that similar foreign policy views expressed by Carlson are “bat-crap crazy” and “off the rails.”

Cruz, who is reportedly set this week to address the Jewish Federations of North America’s General Assembly, has also blasted Carlson for his October interview with Nick Fuentes, whom he labeled a “little goose-stepping Nazi,” suggesting that Carlson was wrong and “complicit in evil,” not for platforming Fuentes but for failing to adequately cross-examine him.

“We have a responsibility to speak out even when it’s uncomfortable,” Cruz said in a statement to Axios. “When voices in our own movement push dangerous and misguided ideas, we can’t look the other way. I won’t hesitate to call out those who peddle destructive, vile rhetoric and threaten our principles and our future. Silence in the face of recklessness is not an option.”

While Vance — whom Fuentes routinely attacks for having a wife of Indian descent — has made expressly clear that he thinks Fuentes is a “total loser” who does not belong in the MAGA movement, others have attempted in recent days to smear Carlson and Vance with a single stroke.

Cruz’s office did not respond to Blaze News’ request for comment.

A number of MAGA influencers criticized Cruz on Monday over the poor timing of the Axios piece and/or his apparent punches in Vance’s direction.

Human Events senior editor Jack Posobiec highlighted that Cruz’s latest dig at Carlson came just hours after President Donald Trump signaled continued support for Carlson, claiming reporters “can’t tell him who to interview” and that “ultimately, people have to decide.”

Political strategist and commentator Alex Lorusso wrote, “Right after President Trump says you can’t tell Tucker Carlson who to interview, Ted Cruz says we have a ‘responsibility’ to speak out against him. He has a rude awakening coming if he wants to run for president in 2028 by positioning himself against DJT.”

Normalcy advocate Robby Starbuck wrote, “Breaking: Ted Cruz will lose the 2028 primary. He has absolutely no chance against JD Vance.”

“It’s all about principle you see,” tweeted BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre, “and that principle is power.”

The popular X user Swig noted, “Ted Cruz’s bizarre attacks on Tucker Carlson are simply a proxy attack on JD Vance. Extremely transparent game he is engaging in.”

“Judging by top MAGA influencers, Cruz is gonna have a tough time,” concluded Axios’ Marc Caputo.

On November 14, Tucker Carlson released an investigative video, exposing new details about Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old who nearly succeeded in assassinating President Donald Trump at his Butler, Pennsylvania, rally on July 13, 2024.

In the 34-minute video, Carlson made three bombshell claims:

1. The FBI spent months falsely claiming Crooks had no online footprint while hiding a years-long digital trail of extremist posts across multiple platforms, including Discord, Snapchat, and YouTube, as well as an extensive search history in the days leading up to the assassination attempt.

2. Crooks began as a pro-Trump, far-right teen advocating dictatorship and racial violence, then dramatically flipped in 2020 to virulent anti-Trump rhetoric and explicit threats of assassination, decapitations, and terrorism-style bombings.

3. Crooks was groomed online by a neo-Nazi handler linked to a U.S.-designated terrorist group, yet the FBI — under both Christopher Wray and now Trump appointee Kash Patel — continues to cover up Crooks’ full history, motive, and evidence, including physically scrubbing the crime scene.

After these revelations, Glenn Beck says there are six critical questions the American public must demand answers to.

FBI slept on Crooks’ kill list

For starters, Glenn is highly skeptical about the FBI’s dismissal of Crooks’ disturbing online activity.

During his pro-Trump era, Crooks directed violent comments almost exclusively toward Democrat officials — overtly calling for their gruesome deaths. This was happening under Joe Biden’s FBI — “a period when the U.S. government … was monitoring social media more aggressively than any other point in U.S. history,” says Glenn.

“People were arrested for memes at this time, but Crooks? Nothing … not a warning, not a knock on the door, not one single action,” he says.

Crooks’ 2020 plot twist: MAGA → Trump assassin

Sometime in 2020, Crooks’ digital footprint, per Carlson’s documentary, reveals an abrupt ideological flip. His comments were just as violent, but suddenly, they were directed at Trump and his supporters. He began mocking Trump’s handling of COVID-19, anti-lockdown protests, and conservative media figures, including Carlson himself, for downplaying the virus.

The FBI in its post-assassination attempt report, however, revealed only half of Crooks’ political leanings, omitting the anti-Trump part.

Neo-Nazi Discord daddy groomed him — crickets from FBI

Around the same time Crooks’ political leanings reversed, a shadowy online figure under the alias Willy Tepes, whom Carlson posits is a neo-Nazi Discord groomer affiliated with the U.S.-designated terrorist group Nordic Resistance Movement, began interacting with Crooks. According to the exposé, Tepes encouraged Crooks’ violent rhetoric, openly approving of his barbaric ideations aimed at government officials.

“So now you have our state department” and “our intelligence community that is monitoring people online, especially Nazis in the rest of the world and Nazis here, and yet there’s nothing. Not a single red flag is triggered, not a single investigation, no monitoring, no intervention,” says Glenn, noting that this same FBI was monitoring “Catholic churches and priests.”

Further, in the days leading up to the assassination attempt, Crooks, Carlson alleged, searched Trump’s name hundreds of times, as well as Jack Ruby, bomb-making, car and sniper attacks, successful assassinations, and how to evade police gunfire.

“All of these things should ring every NSA alarm bell. Nothing — again,” says Glenn.

“They didn’t stop him. They didn’t prevent or try to prevent. They didn’t warn anyone. Instead, as soon as he was shot, they rushed out a narrative — a very specific narrative — and then they shut down anything that conflicted with it.”

Trump’s FBI still running cover?

Perhaps the most head-scratching revelation in Carlson’s exposé is that Trump’s own FBI has continued to keep Crooks’ shocking history under wraps.

“I understand it when it’s Biden’s FBI, but now Trump’s FBI? Now, why didn’t Trump’s FBI immediately come out [with this information]?” asks Glenn, noting that Dan Bongino is on record reiterating the narrative that Crooks had virtually no digital footprint.

He uses the metaphor of an iceberg for the FBI. “You see an iceberg, and you just see just the top of it. Two-thirds of that is under the water, so we’re seeing the tops change,” he says.

“I’m questioning: Does anyone know how deep this goes? Because I don’t think it matters who’s running it.”

FBI: Fast cremation

The FBI also approved and coordinated the release of Crooks’ body for cremation just 10 days after the shooting.

“You don’t do that in a presidential assassination attempt. You don’t do that in a local homicide case unless you want something gone,” says Glenn.

The essential questions

1. Why did the FBI push the narrative that Crooks had a minimal digital footprint when quite the opposite is true?

2. Why did the FBI present only half of Crooks’ political history, hiding his era of Trump hatred? Who exactly was involved in the decision?

3. After the election and the appointment of Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, why did the FBI continue to uphold the original narrative? Who made that decision?

4. Given that the government constantly monitors potentially dangerous online activity, why did Crooks’ violent comments, suspicious search history, and consorting with a known Swedish Nazi group go ignored?

5. Why did the FBI clean the scene prematurely by allowing Crooks to be cremated shortly after the crime?

6. Why is it that every time our FBI and government make a mistake, it seems to point in the direction of “ignorance, negligence, hiding inconvenient data, shaping a political narrative”?

“There’s something very wrong. The official story is impossible to believe,” says Glenn, calling these questions not partisan but “self-preservation” inquiries.

“You can feel the republic slipping through your fingers. If we do not correct these things, we do not have a government of, by, and for the people.”

Federal agents arrested an illegal alien truck driver who is wanted in his home country for allegedly belonging to a terrorist organization.

Akhror Bozorov, a 31-year-old from Uzbekistan, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security announced Monday.

‘This issue extends far beyond the trucking industry and represents a profound national security crisis.’

Bozorov reportedly entered the United States illegally in February 2023. The U.S. Border Patrol arrested him but later released him into the country.

Uzbekistan authorities issued an arrest warrant in 2022, claiming that Bozorov had distributed terrorist propaganda online that called for jihad. He also allegedly recruited others to join the movement.

On November 9, ICE agents arrested Bozorov in Kansas while he was working as a truck driver.

The DHS blamed Pennsylvania for issuing Bozorov a CDL after the Biden administration granted his work authorization in January 2024.

A photograph of Bozorov’s license, shared by the DHS, showed that Pennsylvania issued him a non-domiciled CDL with REAL ID in July.

“Not only was Akhror Bozorov — a wanted terrorist — RELEASED into the country by the Biden administration, but he was also given a commercial driver’s license by Governor [Josh] Shapiro’s Pennsylvania. This should go without saying, but terrorist illegal aliens should not be operating 18-wheelers on America’s highways,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated.

“Biden and [former DHS Secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas allowed countless terrorists to come into our country,” McLaughlin continued. “President Trump and [DHS] Secretary [Kristi] Noem unleashed ICE to target these national security threats.”

Shannon Everett with American Truckers United reacted to ICE’s recent arrest.

“At American Truckers United, our longstanding concern has been that this issue extends far beyond the trucking industry and represents a profound national security crisis,” Everett told Blaze News. “The driver in question is just one of several we have identified in possession of not only non-domicile commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) issued by rogue states, but also REAL IDs.”

“These individuals have been found transporting critical assets, including U.S. Mail, U.S. defense shipments, and our nation’s food supplies. This situation is untenable, and our administration must take immediate and decisive action to ban and revoke all non-domicile CDLs improperly issued to noncitizens over the past five years,” Everett said.

“Pennsylvania issues both commercial and non-commercial driver’s licenses only to non-U.S. citizens who can provide documentation proving their lawful presence in the United States,” PennDOT told Blaze News. “When noncitizen applicants appear at a Driver License Center in Pennsylvania, PennDOT reviews immigration and naturalization documents, which are confirmed in real time against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) website before issuing any driver’s license. PennDOT is prohibited from publicly disclosing information about an individual’s driver record due to state and federal privacy laws.”
