Ex-Prince Andrew appears in photo released by Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, shared by House Democrats

Democrats from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released another batch of photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate on Friday, one of which included Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

"Oversight Dems received 95,000 new photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. These disturbing images raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. Time to end this White House cover-up. Release the files!" Oversight Dems said Friday on X.

Also included in the photos are other prominent figures including, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Woody Allen.

WHITE HOUSE SLAMS HOUSE DEMS RELEASING EPSTEIN PHOTOS SHOWING TRUMP, CLINTON, WOODY ALLEN

Many of the photos have already circulated in the public. The photo of Andrew was taken at the Malaria Summit in London in April 2018, and in the original photo found on Getty Images, King Charles, the then Prince of Wales, can also be seen with Bill Gates and Andrew. In the photo released by the committee, King Charles was cropped out.

People reports that the House Oversight Committee told the outlet the photo "arrived that way from the estate."

Also notably missing in the picture was Epstein himself. However, according to People, elsewhere in the evidence also included a screenshot of an email Epstein sent in March 2011, to someone listed as "The Duke," believed to be Andrew, who was then the Duke of York.

"you ok? these stories are complete ant utter fantasy," Epstein wrote. "I don't know and have never met Al gore. CLinton was never on the island.. the telephone book is not mine. it was stolen by my houseman who is curreently in prison for doing so."

In regard to the photos the House Oversight Committee released, White House spokesperson, Abigail Jackson accused them of "selectively releasing cherry-picked photos with random redactions to try and create a false narrative."

"Here’s the reality: Democrats like Stacey Plaskett and Hakeem Jeffries were soliciting money and meetings from Epstein AFTER he was a convicted sex offender," she added. "The Democrat hoax against President Trump has been repeatedly debunked, and the Trump administration has done more for Epstein’s victims than Democrats ever have by repeatedly calling for transparency, releasing thousands of pages of documents and calling for further investigations into Epstein’s Democrat friends."

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., previously has fired back at accusations that he may have had dinner with Jeffrey Epstein or solicited donations from the disgraced financier. A House GOP effort to censure Plaskett also failed in mid-November.

A White House official also told Fox News Digital on Friday that the photos chosen by the House Democrats were selectively chosen with random redactions for political purposes, adding that none of the documents released showed wrongdoing on Trump's part.

The release of the photos comes as Andrew made his first public outing since being stripped of his royal title, attending his daughter, Princess Beatrice's younger daughter's christening.

Representatives for Buckingham Palace, Andrew, Clinton, Gates and Allen did not respond Friday to requests for comment from Fox News Digital.

Trump honors 'Miracle on Ice' team; Mike Eruzione, Jim Craig praise president in return

President Donald Trump honored the 1980 United States men's Olympic hockey team with a bill-signing ceremony at the Oval Office Friday.

"This is very exciting. This was one of the greatest moments of U.S. sports. We have a very exciting team of champions behind me," Trump said with numerous members of the team in attendance.

"This was an amazing event. There were some other upsets in the world. I haven't noticed them getting any of these, right? You're the only ones. That's great.

"We're delighted to be joined today by legends of American sports history and heroes for the entire nation, the 1980 U.S. Olympic ice hockey team. This was one of the biggest moments I've ever seen in sports, and I like sports. These are the men who gave us one of the most storied athletic wins of all time."

The team members wore the hats they donned at the 1980 opening ceremony, and team captain Mike Eruzione rewarded Trump with a replica.

"More importantly, I don't think words can explain how proud we are for what you've done for our team," Eruzione said. "The honor you've bestowed upon our team is incredible."

Goaltender Jim Craig thanked Trump for "the courage you show the country every single day and for making our country safe again."

"The pride we felt in 1980 was incredible, and we're starting to feel that again, thanks to your leadership," added Bill Baker.

"My dad, he believed. He believed in the American hockey player. He believed in his country. He loved this team. He loved his country. I wish he was here, but it's an honor to represent him."

NHL DEPUTY COMMISSIONER DOUBLES DOWN ON OLYMPIC CONCERNS, SAYS PLAYERS 'WON'T GO' IF ICE IS DEEMED UNSAFE

Herb Brooks' son, Dan, was also in attendance.

Trump signed H.R. 452, which awarded "Congressional Gold Medals to the members of the 1980 U.S. Olympic men's ice hockey team in recognition of the team's achievement at the 1980 Winter Olympic Games."

The team of amateurs and college players completed the "Miracle on Ice" in a stunning upset over the Soviets, who were considered the favorites and an international powerhouse for years. The victory catapulted the Americans for a chance to win gold, which they accomplished by defeating Finland two days later.

The Soviets had walloped the United States in a pre-Olympic exhibition game at Madison Square Garden, but the Americans got hot at the right time. In the game, the Russians famously benched longtime starting goalie Vladislav Tretiak after he allowed a goal with just a second left in the first period that tied the game at two.

The Americans trailed, 3-2, entering the third, but Mark Johnson tied the game midway through the final period. Less than two minutes later, Eruzione scored what was eventually the game-winning goal and was mobbed on the ice.

The "Miracle on Ice" comes from Al Michaels' famous play-by-play call, when he rhetorically asked viewers, "Do you believe in miracles?" He answered his own question with an emphatic, "Yes!"

Former Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh reacts to Sherrone Moore's firing and charges

Jim Harbaugh was asked about his Michigan football successor's scandal Friday and said he still hasn't even processed it.

Sherrone Moore, Harbaugh's offensive coordinator before taking the head coaching job after Harbaugh left Michigan in 2024 to lead the Los Angeles Chargers, was fired Wednesday before being arrested and charged with home invasion, stalking and breaking and entering.

During a Chargers' news conference Friday, Harbaugh was asked about his reaction to Moore's situation.

"Still processing. Heard that. Chad Jessop told me, one of our equipment guys, when we were coming off the field on Thursday. So ... it uh ...  still processing that like a lot of people I'm sure."

Moore joined Harbaugh's staff as a tight end coach in 2018 before working his way up to offensive coordinator by 2023. That year, Moore also served as interim head coach while Harbaugh was suspended twice, leading Michigan to a 4-0 record in Harbaugh's absence. Michigan went on to win the national championship over Washington that year. 

Harbaugh left the program to make his NFL return, and Moore was promoted to become the first Black head coach in Michigan football history. 

Now, Moore is jobless and at the center of one of the biggest college sports scandals of the year. 

After Moore was fired Wednesday, the university announced it had found credible evidence of an "inappropriate relationship" with a staffer. Moore was then detained by police Wednesday after news of his dismissal broke. 

FIRED MICHIGAN COACH SHERRONE MOORE ACCUSED OF STALKING VICTIM 'FOR MONTHS' IN POLICE DISPATCH AUDIO

Moore was arraigned Friday on stalking and home invasion charges. According to prosecutors, he faces a felony charge of home invasion in the third degree and two misdemeanor charges of stalking and breaking and entering.

Both misdemeanor charges are related to a "domestic relationship."

Prosecutors accused Moore of contacting the staffer via phone calls and texts after the breakup, prompting the victim to contact the University of Michigan and cooperate in its investigation. Moore was subsequently fired from his position as head football coach, which prosecutors said prompted him to show up at the woman’s home. 

Moore allegedly "barged" his way into the residence, grabbed a butter knife and a pair of kitchen scissors and began threatening to take his own life. According to prosecutors, Moore allegedly told the staffer, "My blood is on your hands" and "You ruined my life." 

Prosecutors claimed Moore "terrorized" the staffer and that they believed he was a "risk to public safety." 

Francis Xavier "Biff" Poggi was named interim head coach and will be on the sideline when Michigan takes on Texas in the Citrus Bowl Dec. 31. 

Earlier this season, Poggi took over for Moore during Moore's suspension for recruiting violations.

Florida influencer, 41, accused of inappropriately touching, exposing herself to teenage son's friend

A Florida micro-influencer was arrested in November after allegedly making sexual advances on her teenage son's friend, coercing him to touch her breasts while complaining about her husband.

Lisa Marie Singh, 41, was arrested outside an Applebee’s Nov. 19 after an anonymous tipster notified authorities Singh, who had an active warrant for her arrest, was at the restaurant, according to a Jacksonville Sheriff's Office arrest report.

She was charged with two counts of indecent, lewd or lascivious touching of certain minors and violation of parole, according to the report.

Jacksonville Corrections records indicate she remains in custody with bond set at more than $100,000.

NEBRASKA TEACHER ALLEGEDLY OFFERED TO 'SHARE' BOYFRIEND WITH STUDENT IN SEX TRAFFICKING CASE

The charges stemmed from a Sept. 7 incident in which the alleged victim went to Singh's home to meet her son, but he was not there, according to court documents.

Singh allegedly invited the group of teens over earlier in the day after an altercation with her husband.

While at the house, the victim said Singh "displayed flirtatious behavior toward him … rubbing his arms and shoulders" and calling him "babe," documents allege.

At one point, the victim was left alone in a room with her, and he told deputies she ranted to him about her husband's inability to "satisfy her sexually."

FORMER MUSIC TEACHER ALLEGEDLY GROOMED AND HAD INAPPROPRIATE RELATIONSHIP WITH TEEN STUDENT

Singh allegedly told the teen she wanted to "f--- the s--- out of him" before exposing her breasts and insisting he touch them, according to the documents.

She also kissed the teen several times and fondled him over his clothing, according to court records.

The boy told authorities he did not object because he felt "extremely awkward and uncomfortable."

Singh is also accused of threatening to inflict harm on the teen if he told anyone about the encounter.

The sheriff's office noted Singh did not participate in an interview or answer any questions, referring deputies to her lawyer.

The Florida influencer, who has nearly 7,000 followers on Facebook and about 3,500 followers on TikTok and Instagram combined, brands herself as a "#boymom" in her bio and has brand partnerships.

Singh's attorney did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Marjorie Taylor Greene returning to 'The View' just days after she'll leave Congress

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is continuing her media tour with a return to "The View."

The ABC daytime talk show announced Friday that Greene is scheduled to appear Jan. 7, just two days after Greene leaves Congress.

Greene, who went from being a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump to being one of his most outspoken critics, appeared on "The View" last month, and the hosts had a friendly exchange with the outgoing lawmaker.

"I want to say that I think that all of us here are doing a great job of exchanging our ideas and things that we believe in, and we’re doing it in a very professional and kind way and, in my opinion, I think we need more of that in America. I really do," Greene said, complimenting the hosts.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE SURPRISES ‘THE VIEW’ CO-HOSTS WITH CIVILITY, PRAISE

Liberal co-host Joy Behar was so impressed by Greene's mounting criticisms of Trump she suggested the lawmaker switch parties.

"Maybe you should become a Democrat, Marjorie," Behar told her.

"I’m not a Democrat," Greene responded. "I think both parties have failed."

REP MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE SLAPS DOWN NOTION THAT SHE'S EYEING A PRESIDENTIAL RUN

Last week, Greene made a second appearance on "60 Minutes," her first interview since she announced her exit from Congress. Trump lashed out at CBS News and parent company Paramount for the interview.

"My real problem with the show, however, wasn’t the low IQ traitor [Greene], it was that the new ownership of 60 Minutes, Paramount, would allow a show like this to air. THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN THE OLD OWNERSHIP, who just paid me millions of Dollars for FAKE REPORTING about your favorite President, ME! Since they bought it, 60 Minutes has actually gotten WORSE!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Throughout the year, Greene generated headlines for her criticism of the Trump administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, healthcare and foreign policy.

There had been speculation that Greene's feud with Trump stems from reports that he had privately discouraged her from running for Senate in 2026 amid polling that suggested she'd be defeated by Georgia's Democratic incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff. Greene denies those claims. 

Greene cited her growing disillusionment with Washington politics while announcing her exit, blasting what she called a corrupt "Political Industrial Complex" that she said uses Americans as "pawns in an endless game of division."

"Americans are used by the Political Industrial Complex of both political parties, election cycle after election cycle, in order to elect whichever side can convince Americans to hate the other side more," Greene wrote. "And the results are always the same — nothing ever gets better for the common American man or woman."

She made her announcement days after Trump withdrew his endorsement for her, calling Greene "wacky" and "a ranting lunatic."

Republican House leader signals plan to begin contempt proceedings against Bill and Hillary Clinton

GOP House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said he plans to commence contempt of Congress proceedings against Bill and Hillary Clinton for ignoring the committee's subpoenas related to its ongoing probe into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. 

In July, a bipartisan House Oversight Subcommittee approved motions to subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton and a slew of other high-profile political figures to aid its investigation looking into how the federal government handled Epstein's sex trafficking case. 

The subpoenas were then sent out in early August, and the Clinton's were scheduled to testify Dec. 17-18. 

"It has been more than four months since Bill and Hillary Clinton were subpoenaed to sit for depositions related to our investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s horrific crimes. Throughout that time, the former president and former secretary of state have delayed, obstructed, and largely ignored the committee staff’s efforts to schedule their testimony," Comer said in a press release issued Friday evening.

DOJ CLEARED TO RELEASE SECRET JEFFREY EPSTEIN CASE GRAND JURY MATERIALS

"If the Clintons fail to appear for their depositions next week or schedule a date for early January, the Oversight Committee will begin contempt of Congress proceedings to hold them accountable."

When reached for comment, the Clinton Foundation told Fox News Digital, "Ask the Chairman for the letter we sent him, and why he won’t respond to it."

The foundation did not immediately provide a copy of the letter.

A spokesperson from Comer's office told Fox News Digital that the Clintons "think they are above the law and are trying to get out of their depositions by using dilatory tactics."

"We communicated to the Clintons’ attorney today that they must appear next week or provide a date in early January to appear for their depositions or we will begin contempt of Congress proceedings," the spokesperson added. "They’ve been dragging their feet for over four months. Time’s up."

FEDERAL JUDGE APPROVES RELEASING GHISLAINE MAXWELL CASE GRAND JURY MATERIAL

Comer's threats come as Democrats from the House Oversight Committee released a new batch of photos obtained from Epstein's estate, which included further images of the disgraced financier with powerful figures like President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton. Thousands of images were reportedly released, with potentially more to come.

Other high-profile figures subpoenaed by the Oversight Committee include James Comey, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Robert Mueller, William Barr, Jeff Sessions and Alberto Gonzales.

In addition to testimony from these individuals, Comer and the Oversight Committee issued subpoenas to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for all documents and communications pertaining to the case against Epstein.

In September, the committee released tens of thousands of pages of Epstein-related records in compliance with the subpoena, and the Oversight Committee indicated the DOJ would continue producing even more records as it works through needed redactions and other measures that must occur before they are released.

Melissa Joan Hart was nearly fired from ‘Sabrina’ over racy Maxim photoshoot

Melissa Joan Hart nearly lost one of her most iconic gigs because of a Maxim magazine cover shoot.

The actress, known for beloved '90s sitcoms like "Clarissa Explains It All" and "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," pivoted to something a bit more mature when she made the decision to do the racy photo shoot in 1999, not knowing the move would almost violate her "Sabrina" contract.

During an appearance on Betches' podcast "Picture Day," she told the story behind a photo of her with Britney Spears at the premiere for "Drive Me Crazy." 

She pointed out that her eyes were bloodshot in the photo because it was "one of the worst days of my life at the time."

MELISSA JOAN HART REFUSED PLAYBOY MAGAZINE OFFER TO PROTECT BROTHER AND FUTURE CHILDREN

Hart explained that she'd been crying because she'd left the premiere, where her family was in attendance, to fly to another movie set. While she was en route to the airport, she got a call that she'd been fired from the film. She'd been given a cameo in "Scary Movie," but the powers that be decided she "didn't have big enough boobs for that part."

She was sent back to the "Drive Me Crazy" premiere, where her lawyer approached her and said, "Because of your cover of Maxim magazine, you're being fired from your show."

"So, then I really start crying," she recalled, calling it a "dramatic night."

Ultimately, Hart was able to keep her job on "Sabrina the Teenage Witch." The issue was that, in her original contract, she'd agreed that the Sabrina character would never appear nude or in a way that implied nudity. While she did the Maxim cover to promote "Drive Me Crazy," the magazine referred to her as "Sabrina" on its cover.

Once it was made clear that Hart had no knowledge or control over Maxim using the character's name, the issue was dropped, and she went on to star in the show until it ended in 2003.

In 2023, she told Fox News Digital that, despite the issues the photoshoot caused, she doesn't regret it.

"Everything in retrospect is … in the rearview mirror. Everything looks a little more distant," she explained.

"At the time, what felt like panic and, you know, my career ending and all these terrible things, worked out to turn into really good press around a movie I had launched.

"It ended up being kind of a bonus in a way."

Pop star SZA lashes out at White House for ‘Evil n Boring’ deportation post using her song

Singer SZA slammed the White House on social media Wednesday for using her song in an X post promoting the Trump administration’s deportation agenda.

The official White House X account shared a video compilation of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents rounding up illegal immigrants set to SZA’s tune "Big Boy" Monday, earning rebukes from both SZA and her former manager, Terrence "Punch" Henderson.

"White House rage-baiting artists for free promo is PEAK DARK… inhumanity +shock and aw tactics… Evil n Boring," SZA wrote on the platform.

WHITE HOUSE FIRES BACK AFTER SABRINA CARPENTER SLAMS ICE VIDEO USING HER SONG

SZA, whose real name is Solána Imani Rowe, posted her comment on Henderson’s X post from Tuesday, which stated, "Trying to provoke artist to respond in order to help spread propaganda and political agendas is nasty business. Knock it off."

The White House’s video flashed imagery of ICE officers handcuffing illegal immigrants set to SZA’s lyric, "It’s cuffing season, and all the girls are leaving to get a big boy."

The government account played into the lyrics with the post’s caption, stating, "WE HEARD IT'S CUFFING SZN. Bad news for criminal illegal aliens. Great news for America."

When asked for comment on SZA’s response, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Variety, "Thank you, SZA, for drawing even more attention to the tremendous work America’s ICE officers are doing by arresting dangerous criminal illegal aliens from American communities."

ICE CHIEF FIRES BACK AT CHICAGO-AREA MAYOR, CITES ‘VIOLENT RIOTERS’ AFTER WEEKS OF BROADVIEW UNREST

SZA’s response is just the latest celebrity rebuke of the Trump administration’s social media posts. Pop star Sabrina Carpenter ripped the White House earlier this month for another pro-ICE video using her song "Juno."

Commenting on the clip, Carpenter wrote, "This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda."

Jackson provided a response to Carpenter at the time, featuring multiple references to the pop star’s discography.

"Here’s a Short n’ Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country. Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?"

"Driver’s License" singer Olivia Rodrigo also lashed out last month at a Department of Homeland Security Instagram post that used her song "All American B----." The video urged illegal immigrants to self-deport from the United States.

"Don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda," Rodrigo wrote.

When asked to comment on Rodrigo’s statement, a DHS spokesperson told Fox News Digital, "America is grateful all the time for our federal law enforcement officers who keep us safe. We suggest Ms. Rodrigo thank them for their service, not belittle their sacrifice."

US covert team leader describes 'dangerous' mission to rescue Venezuelan opposition leader

A U.S. covert team carried out a mission to extract Venezuela’s opposition leader, María Corina Machado, as her daughter accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on her behalf in Europe.

Special forces veteran Bryan Stern described the treacherous operation and the measures taken to get her safely out of Venezuela.

"It was dangerous for her — very dangerous for her — dangerous for everybody involved, frankly," said Stern, head of the Grey Bull Rescue Foundation, on Fox News Radio’s "Brian Kilmeade Show."
 

Machado shocked much of the world when she appeared on a balcony in Oslo, Norway, on Thursday, thousands of miles from Venezuela. 

Stern explained his group had been doing missions in Venezuela, but when they were first contacted about this task, they had no idea it involved such a high-profile figure.

VENEZUELAN OPPOSITION LEADER SAYS COUNTRY AT 'THRESHOLD OF FREEDOM' AS NEW MANIFESTO ENVISIONS REGIME CHANGE

"We didn't know it was María at first," he said, adding that learning her identity changed "everything."

"She's been a hero of mine for years. Being asked to participate in this — let alone lead this operation — is probably the greatest privilege I’ll ever have in my career," Stern also said.

The escape unfolded by land, air and sea. At one point, Stern said they were in a small fishing boat in the middle of the night, battling "five- to 10-foot" rough seas. He described a retired Marine on the boat vomiting for hours due to the difficult conditions on the water.

WHY THE US COULD SNATCH A VENEZUELAN TANKER — AND NOT UNDER ‘WARTIME’ AUTHORITY USED IN CARTEL STRIKES

"María didn't complain once," Stern said, describing her behavior throughout the journey as "inspirational."

Stern noted that the team operated under the constant threat of detection by Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro’s forces, and that he didn’t relax until Machado was in Norway.

"When I saw María hug her daughter is when I took a deep breath," he said.

VENEZUELA ACCUSES US OF 'PIRACY' AFTER SEIZING MASSIVE OIL TANKER

Machado had been in hiding since January after she was detained in Caracas, an arrest her supporters say came after she joined crowds protesting Maduro’s inauguration. She has long been an outspoken critic of the Maduro regime and its contested elections, and she leads Venezuela’s main opposition movement.

She won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for her work promoting democracy and human rights. Machado has publicly thanked President Donald Trump for his support against the regime and told Fox News Digital she dedicated the prize to him as well.

Her daughter, Ana Corina Sosa, accepted the award in her place on Wednesday, saying her mother will "never give up" on wanting to live in a free Venezuela.

Machado’s extraction comes as the U.S. steps up pressure on the Maduro government. Earlier in December, the White House confirmed the military seized a multimillion-dollar tanker reportedly carrying illicit Iranian oil.

Utah's winningest coach to step down after 21 seasons: 'Honor and a privilege'

The Utah Utes will be ending an era when they play against Nebraska in the Las Vegas Bowl Dec. 31.

It will be head coach Kyle Whittingham’s last game as head coach after the 66-year-old announced Friday he is stepping down. Whittingham is the winningest coach in program history, going 117-88 over 22 seasons. 

"The time is right to step down from my position as the head football coach at the University of Utah," Whittingham said in a statement Friday.

"It’s been an honor and a privilege to lead the program for the past 21 years, and I’m very grateful for the relationships forged with all the players and assistant coaches that have worked so hard and proudly worn the drum and feather during our time here."

Whittingham co-coached the Fiesta Bowl with Utah in 2004 and then took over as the permanent head coach the following season. Whittingham led Utah to a winning record in 18 of his 21 seasons.

This season, Utah is 10-2 and at one point ranked No. 13 in the AP poll, just missing out on the College Football Playoff (CFB).

BILL BELICHICK BREAKS UP WITH MEMBERS OF UNC COACHING STAFF AFTER TUMULTUOUS SEASON

Whittingham was named the Western Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 1981 in his senior year. 

Before becoming a coach, Whittingham played in the USFL and the CFL from 1982 to 1984. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at BYU.

Whittingham joined the Utah staff in 1994 and rose through the ranks. He began as the defensive line coach and eventually became the defensive coordinator before becoming the team’s head coach. 

His final game on the sideline will be the team’s bowl game against Nebraska. Whittingham, who is 11-6 in bowl games as a head coach, will look to end his tenure with a win on Dec. 31.
