Arizona man accused of plotting mass casualty attack on religious site with 'cookbook' tied to OKC bombing
An Arizona man who allegedly plotted a mass casualty attack on a Jewish or Muslim house of worship is being accused by prosecutors of possessing an infamous bomb-making manual linked to the Oklahoma City bomber.
Matthew Bjornholt, 27, faces a felony count of making a terrorist threat in connection with his alleged plot to attack a religious site.
Prosecutors in Maricopa County said Bjornholt laid out a chilling blueprint for violence that involved guns, explosives and an accomplice tasked with gunning down survivors.
During an initial court appearance on Friday, prosecutor Stephen Garcia sought a $500,000 cash bond, calling Bjornholt an imminent danger to the community, according to FOX 10.
Bjornholt allegedly outlined detailed plans to attack a religious site, according to Garcia, who also claimed the suspect kept a copy of "The Anarchist Cookbook," a manual containing bomb-making instructions that has been linked to Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.
Garcia alleged that Bjornholt referred to the book as his "Bible."
The alleged plot included plans to detonate bombs before an accomplice of Bjornholt's would begin "picking off people" with firearms, according to prosecutors.
Investigators later seized three guns and ammunition from Bjornholt’s home.
Bjornholt’s defense attorney, Chad Schell, pushed back against the allegations, claiming that the charges are based solely on unverified hearsay from a disgruntled former acquaintance, according to FOX 10.
Schell told the court that the tip came from a "homeless alcoholic" whom Bjornholt had briefly let crash on his couch before kicking him out late last month.
Schell said federal authorities had already investigated the claims weeks ago. Schell said the FBI executed a search warrant at Bjornholt’s home on Sept. 29 and that Bjornholt voluntarily provided investigators with his electronic devices and passwords.
According to Schell, federal investigators found no evidence of terrorism or bomb-making materials and did not pursue federal charges before county authorities took over the case a couple of weeks later.
"There is no evidence he's a danger to the community. What is the evidence that he's a danger to the community? Some hearsay statements from some dude — that my client kicked out of his house two days before September 29," Schell told the court.
"Again, the FBI served a search warrant, got all of his electronic devices. He gave them access, gave him his passwords to those devices. They went through all of those electronic devices. They didn't see anything about terrorism. And FBI cut him loose," he continued.
Schell also argued that the three seized guns were lawfully possessed, adding that Bjornholt's civil rights were restored after completing a previous sentence on a drug charge stemming from a closed first-degree murder case. According to Schell, the murder charge against Bjornholt was dropped because of a lack of evidence.
The ammunition found inside the home, Schell said, was no more than standard magazine loads.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office and FBI Phoenix for comment.
Despite prosecutors citing Bjornholt's criminal history in arguing for a larger bond, the judge said the state's preliminary evidence relied heavily on hearsay and set Bjornholt's bond at $100,000, according to FOX 10.
The judge nevertheless found enough probable cause to move the case forward.
It remains unclear whether specific houses of worship were targeted in the alleged plot or whether there was a specific accomplice.
Bjornholt is scheduled to return to court on Oct. 22 for a status conference and then later for a preliminary hearing on Oct. 26.
Strait of Hormuz crisis traps 6,000 sailors as attacks on ships mount, UN maritime chief says
Thousands of sailors remain stranded near the Strait of Hormuz amid escalating attacks on commercial ships, the United Nations' top maritime official warned Sunday after Iran accused the U.S. military of using an international emergency radio channel to threaten civilian crews.
The warning also came amid reports that 24 ships had been attacked on the waterway over roughly two weeks, underscoring growing concerns about maritime safety in the region, according to Financial Times.
"The situation continues to be severe and critical when it comes to international shipping," International Maritime Organization (IMO) Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez told Fox News Digital.
"There is a double blockade and too many vessels have been attacked, particularly in recent days.
"Seafarers have continued to perish in these attacks and around 6,000 seafarers remain trapped since the beginning of the conflict," he warned, adding that his message was not to transit the Strait of Hormuz or put seafarers at risk "until we have guarantees."
Dominguez's warning followed an Oct. 9 letter to the IMO in which Iran alleged that the U.S. military used VHF Channel 16, an internationally designated maritime distress and safety channel, to intimidate Iranian crews in the Persian Gulf.
"VHF Channel 16 has been repeatedly occupied for prolonged periods by the United States military forces operating in the Persian Gulf," the letter stated.
TRUMP OPENS HORMUZ UNDER FIRE WITH ‘PROJECT FREEDOM’ AS IRAN WARNS OF ATTACKS
"During such transmissions, Iranian seafarers have been addressed in Persian with threatening, abusive and provocative language and in certain instances urged to abandon their vessels."
In a statement to Fox News Digital, U.S. Central Command defended its enforcement of the naval blockade of Iranian ports.
"The U.S. naval blockade has been in place for months and is professionally communicated to all international mariners," CENTCOM said.
"Vessels that refuse to comply with blockade enforcement receive multiple warnings, with ample opportunity to comply.
"American forces remain highly vigilant, focused, and professional while fully enforcing the naval blockade against Iran."
Iran's complaint was submitted by Seyed Ali Mousavi, its ambassador to the IMO, and circulated to member states on Oct. 9, according to a copy reviewed by Fox News Digital.
Tehran also accused American forces of turning the maritime safety channel into an "instrument of military intimidation and psychological pressure against civilian crews."
The letter cited commercial vessels, shipping companies and maritime operators but provided no recordings, transcripts or specific details of the alleged exchanges. Fox News Digital could not independently verify the accusations.
IRAN THREATENS TO HALT RED SEA TRAFFIC IN RESPONSE TO US MILITARY BLOCKADE OF PORTS
"Seafarers are not trained for combat, and they are not guilty of any conflicts that are happening around the world," Dominguez said.
"And we have seen this in several parts of the world where Channel 16, that should not be used for this kind of communication, starts receiving messages that may be perceived as actually threatening or that are outside the remit of why it was created."
Iran also asked the IMO to raise its allegations with member states and relevant international organizations, potentially including the International Telecommunication Union.
Dominguez said the IMO could review its regulations and procedures to determine whether stronger safeguards are needed, though he did not announce a formal investigation.
"Our role here at IMO is that when those situations take place, we will then look into any technical measures or any operational aspects that we may need to clarify further within our regulatory framework," he said, stressing that member states have equal rights to raise concerns, regardless of the conflict.
"We have a responsibility, and I have a duty as well, to circulate letters and notes that the countries actually put forward when they're also being affected."
WHO CONTROLS THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ RIGHT NOW? HERE'S WHAT THE SHIP TRAFFIC ACTUALLY SHOWS
"We take all that information, meet at the level of different meetings of the organization and have the discussions," Dominguez added.
"If it's demonstrated that we probably need to improve our rules in order to avoid communications issues, or that we need to enhance the knowledge of how these channels should be used, that is a role for us."
The IMO had recorded 100 confirmed maritime incidents across the region as of Oct. 9, with 24 seafarers killed since the conflict began Feb. 28. Dominguez also warned that fraudulent ship registrations and false flags have become major contributors to the danger.
"What we've also seen right now is an increase in fraudulent registries with false flags that are taking the risk and acting as shuttle tankers in order to bring goods in and out," he said. "That's one of the reasons that we're seeing an escalation.
"And it's the irresponsible shipowners that are taking the risk in order to actually be able to trade and move some of the goods and the cargoes."

"For me, any single case, any vessel that is attacked, any life of a seafarer that is lost, is a critical situation for me, because they are all relevant, they are all important."
Despite the confrontation, Dominguez said diplomatic channels with Iran remain open, though he has no direct contact with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
"I have communications with all the member states of IMO, and that includes the Islamic Republic of Iran," he said.
"Of course, that's through the diplomatic channels. I don't have direct contact with the IRGC.
"I have conversations with them and they respond to my messages. You know, the information flows. What is difficult is to get final decisions because of the conflict that is ongoing."
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Iranian embassy for comment.
Kevin Bacon pleads for help recovering missing FedEx package rerouted multiple times around the globe
Kevin Bacon was yearning and burning for somebody to tell him where his lost clothes were hiding.
Bacon, 68, pleaded with his followers to help him figure out where FedEx sent a package of clothing he sent last month to a location across the pond.
"Hey everybody, it's me. I'm over here, I'm working in Ireland," Bacon told his followers. "I wanted to pack light, so I decided to ship some old clothes over here to Ireland. I don't buy a lot of clothes. I've had these clothes probably since the '90s.
'FOOTLOOSE' STAR KEVIN BACON SHARES HOW THE MOVIE STILL HAUNTS HIM
"So I used a shipping service that I don't want to say the name but it rhymes with BreadX," he said before explaining that he shipped a box of clothing on Sept. 26 from upstate New York to his filming location.
"It went straight to Memphis, and then from Memphis it to France and by Sept. 28 it arrived in Germany, and by Sept. 29, they shipped it straight to Israel, not Ireland – Israel."
The "Footloose" actor went on to explain that the package traveled from Israel back to France on Oct. 3, only to be sent back to Israel the following day. It traveled to Germany on Oct. 5 before being routed back to Israel on Oct. 6.
KEVIN BACON'S DREAM OF BEING A FARMER LED TO 'BIGGEST FIGHT' WITH WIFE KYRA SEDGWICK
"On Oct. 10, that box of old clothes made its way all the way to France, and on Oct. 11 it arrived in the UK, in England," he said. "Pretty close. Guess what? On Oct. 11, it left the UK and came straight to Ireland, where it has been sitting for five days, and they say they're unable to deliver it."

Bacon admitted he was frustrated with the situation and couldn't see a solution to his problem.
"I don't understand why. It's just sitting there," he said. "I can't get a person the phone. I have not been able to talk to anybody. I know what you're thinking: Just go buy some more clothes.

"And you're right. I could buy some clothes, but I want these clothes. I've had them since the '90s. These are like ... they have a certain sentimental value."
The "Tremors" star noted that the package contained "old boots, old jeans, old hats" as he wondered if he was "ever going to see this stuff" again.
PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE
"It's starting to get cold here," Bacon said.
FedEx representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. The company has separately apologized for the incident and said it was in direct contact with Bacon's team to deliver the package and was reviewing what went wrong.
Massachusetts GOP ticket rocked by alleged drunken crash as candidate abruptly halts campaign
A late-night crash has thrown a Massachusetts Republican’s statewide campaign into turmoil just weeks before voters head to the polls.
Shawn Oliver, 42, the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor and a New Bedford city councilor, suspended his campaign on Sunday. The move came after Oliver was arrested following a rollover crash that involved five parked vehicles, police confirmed to Fox News Digital.
Officers responded around 11:40 p.m. Saturday to 448 Dartmouth St., where a vehicle had overturned after striking multiple parked vehicles, the New Bedford Police Department said. Two of the five parked vehicles sustained extensive damage.

Oliver, identified by police as the driver, was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital for treatment of his injuries.
Following an investigation at the scene and at the hospital, officers arrested Oliver and charged him with operating under the influence of liquor, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, a marked lanes violation and speeding, police said.

Minogue, a businessman and military veteran challenging Democratic Gov. Maura Healey, said he spoke with Oliver before demanding he step aside.
"After speaking with Shawn, I am asking him to suspend his campaign immediately, and when elected, I will formally ask for his resignation," he wrote.

Oliver confirmed his campaign suspension on X, saying "the election is too important to be overshadowed by personal matters."
New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell said in a statement posted to Facebook that the crash happened in the city’s South End.

"This morning, I was made aware that City Councilor Shawn Oliver was involved in a car accident in the South End and taken into custody," Mitchell said. "I’m grateful to the New Bedford Police Department for their prompt response and relieved that no one was seriously injured."
The Democratic mayor also called for Oliver to address the incident publicly.
"The allegations against Councilor Oliver are deeply concerning, and the public deserves to hear his explanation of what happened," Mitchell said.
Minogue urged Oliver to focus on his family and take steps to prevent another incident.
"Shawn is a father and grandfather, and he needs to put his family first. He needs to do the work to ensure this never happens again," Minogue wrote. "If he needs help with that, I will help him."
He also took aim at his Democratic opponent.
"As governor, I will put the Commonwealth first. That starts with accountability, something Massachusetts has not seen from Maura Healey," Minogue wrote.
The Massachusetts Department of Correction confirmed to Fox News Digital that Oliver, a New Bedford city councilor employed by the department, has been placed on restricted work duty following his arrest.
"Shawn Oliver has been placed on restricted work duty while all facts and circumstances are reviewed. He is currently assigned to the Massachusetts Treatment Center," department spokesman Scott J. Croteau said.
The campaign suspension comes just weeks before the November election, with Minogue challenging Healey and Democratic Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll seeking another term.
Caitlin Clark and Taylor Swift spotted together again cheering on Travis Kelce at Chiefs game
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark was back enjoying some Kansas City Chiefs football alongside music sensation Taylor Swift, as they both cheered on Travis Kelce and the gang at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Swift, the wife of the Chiefs’ beloved tight end, was spotted wearing a red turtleneck sweater next to Clark and fellow musician Este Haim in her usual suite at the stadium on the CBS broadcast.
CBS cameras cut to Swift and Clark as they celebrated a Kelce catch over the middle during the Chiefs’ 22-6 rout of the Los Angeles Chargers to remain undefeated on the season.

Kelce finished the game with four catches for 53 yards, while star running back Kenneth Walker III continued to be a bully in the Chiefs’ backfield with 128 yards on just 19 carries with two scores.
Just a week ago, Kelce and Swift were celebrating the future Pro Football Hall of Famer’s 37th birthday while in New York City. The Chiefs were on an early Week 5 bye.
Meanwhile, Swift was spotted at the Academy Museum Gala on Saturday night, helping raise money for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.

This isn’t the first time Swift and Clark have been spotted together at a Chiefs game. It was this time last year Clark, a big Chiefs fan, joined Swift inside the suite with many others, including Kelce’s father, Ed Kelce.
Clark revealed last summer how much she loves the Chiefs after being questioned about what she was whispering to Swift in a viral clip from a Chiefs' playoff back in January 2025.
"Honestly, I love football, and I know a lot about football," Clark responded to the question from Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe on their "A Touch More" podcast. "So, I was telling her why they threw a flag or like — but in the best way. Like, I don't even know everything.
"I was just explaining things, but, yeah, that was really fun. I’m a big Chiefs fan. So, getting to spend time with Taylor, and then also Travis played really well that game — the Chiefs won, it was the playoffs."
Clark has noted that Swift "treats everybody with the same amount of kindness," as she told ESPN back in May 2025.
While she’s enjoying time with Swift, Clark would rather be in the WNBA Finals with her Fever teammates. Instead, it’s the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries, with the latter taking Game 1 at home over the weekend. Game 2 tips off in Golden State on Monday night.
The Fever fell to the Las Vegas Aces in the first round of the WBA Playoffs, losing 94-83 in Game 3, where Clark struggled from the field. She went 6-of-18 for 18 points, though she was just 3-of-12 from three-point territory.
It was still another great season for the three-time All-Star, averaging 22.3 points and 8.3 assists per game across 40 contests.
Kansas City Chiefs star defensive lineman Chris Jones caught in screaming match with coaches on sidelines
The Kansas City Chiefs are once again heading towards yet another AFC West division title and likely Super Bowl win, but you'd never know it by how their sideline looked on Sunday.
The Chiefs hosted the 0-5 Los Angeles Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday afternoon, and the game pretty much went as expected. LA's hapless offense wasn't able to move the ball with any consistency and the Chiefs' offense imposed their will, outside two turnovers.
While the outcome might never have been in doubt, for whatever reason, one of the team's best defensive players wasn't happy about something on the Kansas City sideline.
JALEN HURTS CURSES AT RECEIVER IN VIRAL HOT-MIC MOMENT DURING EAGLES' COLLAPSE AGAINST RAMS
With his team ahead 9-3 in the second quarter, Chris Jones, the Chiefs' star defensive tackle, sat down on the Kansas City bench. Joe Cullen, the team's defensive line coach, came over to talk to him, putting his hand on Jones' shoulder, as coaches are wont to do.
Bizarrely, Jones wasn't happy about it, immediately shoving Cullen's hand off him and starting a screaming match.

Trent Green, calling the game as an analyst for CBS, said on the broadcast that he believes Jones and Cullen "have a great relationship."
As for what the disagreement was about, Green speculated that he didn't "think Chris liked the fact that he put his hand on his shoulder." He added that instead of immediately getting physical, Jones should have "asked him politely to take it off."
It's still unclear what exactly the fight was over. Cullen coached Jones for the past five seasons, starting in 2022. During those five years, Jones has been first-team All-Pro three times, made the Pro Bowl each season, and won two Super Bowls. Not a bad resume together.
SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER
After the game, Jones was seen walking off the field with tight end Travis Kelce, seemingly no worse for wear.
The Chiefs went on to win Sunday's game 22-6, because of course they did. The schedule gets a little harder with a road trip to play the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field Sunday night, though given how dominant they've been, Kansas City seems likely to coast their way to another deep playoff run. Fully putting the fluky one-score losses during the 2025 season behind them.
As long as their players and coaches can get along while they're winning, that is.
Kristin Cavallari says she learned a painful $250K lesson involving her father at 22
Kristin Cavallari is reflecting on a painful lesson after lending her father a quarter of a million dollars.
During a recent episode of her podcast "Let's Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari," in which the 39-year-old reality star shared her opinions on women and finances, Cavallari recalled how she ended up $250,000 "in the hole" following two loans to her father Dennis Cavallari that were never repaid.
"My dad came to me — I was filming ‘The Hills,’ so I must have been 22 — and asked for a large sum of money to borrow. Six figures," she said.
KRISTIN CAVALLARI ADMITS HER KIDS FLY COACH WHILE SHE SITS IN FIRST CLASS
"And I was making great money at the time, but it’s still — I’m 22," Cavallari continued. "Six figures is a big deal for me."
"But I lent it to him, and he promised me he would pay me back," the Uncommon James founder remembered. "He probably said six months, and he was going to give me interest on top of it. And, you know, well, I didn’t get paid back. And instead, he asked to borrow more money, another six-figure number."
Cavallari said that she confronted Dennis about not repaying the first loan but ultimately relented.
"I said to him, ‘You haven’t even acknowledged the first payment, and now you want more money?’" she recalled. "But because I’m such a f-----g sucker — or I was at the time — I lent him more money."

"I will never see that money," she said. "So, when I tell you, I’m in the hole with my own dad, a quarter of a million dollars."
THE RICH HAVE ONE FINANCIAL HABIT MOST AMERICANS IGNORE AT THEIR PERIL
"Talk about a bad business decision," Cavallari added.
However, the TV personality acknowledged that the experience taught her the importance of setting boundaries with family and friends when it comes to money.

"I didn’t know how to set boundaries in my early 20s," she admitted. "I’ve learned that. You know, it would be a very different conversation probably today, but it’s the lending-money-to-people thing."
"When you have money, it’s almost like people expect it," Cavallari continued. "And you are in no way, shape or form required or obligated to lend anybody money, especially if you’ve worked your f---king tail off for that money."
JENNIFER GARNER SAYS SHE 'PANICKED' ABOUT FINANCIAL STABILITY AFTER DIVORCE FROM BEN AFFLECK
"Like I have worked my ass off for all of my money," she added. "And so I think that’s why probably that stings the most."
"It just was like sort of taking advantage of me at such a young age."

JENNIFER GARNER SAYS DIVORCE FROM BEN AFFLECK CAUSED 'UPHEAVAL' THAT KEPT HER FROM WORKING FOR YEARS
"I can’t imagine going to my kids when they’re 22 and asking for that kind of money," she said. "I guess I understand that he didn’t have a lot of options. But I don't know."
"And also my relationship with my dad is very complicated," Cavallari continued. "So there are other layers to it. But for the purpose of this conversation, I just think you’re allowed to do what you want to do with your money."
Cavallari shared a clip from the episode on Instagram, emphasizing the importance of financial literacy for women.
"We’re talking all things MONEY this week!!" she wrote. "I’m over money being a taboo topic for women. We’re talking financial independence, the mistakes I’ve made, and everything I’ve learned along the way. If you wanna chase the bag, this one’s for you."
Cavallari previously discussed her difficult relationship with Dennis and the unpaid loans during a July appearance on the "Aspire with Emma Grede" podcast.
The "Balancing in Heels" author shared that she eventually came to terms with the financial loss.
"I've had to grapple with it, you know, and I've ultimately put it to bed and made peace with it," she said. "I think at the time, I didn't know how to say no to my dad. That's also been sort of like a big life lesson for me. I mean, I've ultimately cut my dad out of my life."

"So I really figured out how to say no to him," Cavallari continued. "But it was really hard for me when I was younger. And so, that's probably like the biggest thing that stands out in my mind in terms of how you think about teaching your kids about money."
In June 2025, Cavallari reflected on cutting ties with her father after claiming that he "traumatized" her children.
"I always had a rough relationship with my dad," she said during an appearance on the "Boyfriend Material" podcast.

"He crossed the line with one of my boys, and that's a dealbreaker for me. Especially when he had zero accountability, no apology. Like, he traumatized my kids, and I have no room for that in my life. And so, that was it," she continued, without detailing what took place.
PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE
Cavallari said she hasn't spoken to her father in roughly three years. According to "The Hills" star, her father never tried to make amends after crossing the line with her son.
"To be honest with you, as a mom, if I had a kid, and I really f----- up with my kid, and they wanted to cut me out of their life, I would do everything imaginable to not let that happen. I would be like I am so f------ sorry, showing up at your house, like doing everything imaginable. And my dad, in a lot of ways, was like, ‘OK.’"
Shane Steichen says Daniel Jones won't be benched but coach and general manager Chris Ballard are in trouble
Head coach Shane Steichen was asked about his job status and whether quarterback Daniel is going to be benched, and it made sense because the Indianapolis Colts lost to the previously winless Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
And let's cut to the chase:
Steichen said Jones is not going to be benched despite throwing two interceptions to increase his season total to six in as many games. Jones has thrown at least one interception in each of the past four games.
So Jones sticks for now.
"I think Daniel knows he's got to play better," Steichen said. "I got to coach better."
We all know by now that neither Steichen nor general manager Chris Ballard are likely to remain past the end of this season – assuming they even last that long – unless the club gets on a roll.
That's how it is when the team has lost four of its six games, including two of three at home, and the home crowd booed lustily on Sunday afternoon.
The boos metastasized to "fire Ballard" chants by game's end.
Steichen understood the sentiment.
"We've got to give them something to cheer about, you know?" he said. "I don't blame them for booing one freaking bit."
The thing is, owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon seemed inclined to agree with fans' frustrations last season when she put everyone on blast.
"I'm pissed. We're all pissed," she famously said after her team's 2025 collapse, consisting of seven consecutive losses to end the season.
"We have been very clear with Chris and Shane that giving them another opportunity means that the sense of urgency for them to deliver and perform has never been higher. Chris and Shane are both capable of facing this challenge head-on and finding a way to achieve the results that our fans deserve, which is winning games, getting to the postseason and ultimately winning championships."
So if that was the starting point, would Irsay-Gordon be likely to support her coach and GM now in the face of boos from her best customers?
Nope.
TITANS CEO APOLOGIZES TO BELEAGUERED FANBASE AFTER DREADFUL START TO THE SEASON: 'WE'RE SORRY'
Losing to the Titans, who have struggled to merely keep their organizational flow chart straight the past three years, blew the pick of Malik Willis as their franchise quarterback, followed that by blowing the pick of Will Levis and are on track to blow the pick of Cam Ward, is embarrassing.
So, of course, questions about Steichen's job status are fair.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
"Obviously, my job is to get this team ready and that's what I'm focused on right now," Steichen said.
Steichen would be lucky to finish out the season barring a change of direction by his team.
Such a move wouldn't necessarily fix things, but it would help give Irsay-Gordon a head start on a search for new people while avoiding the untidy approach of going behind her coach's back.
Mike Rogers presses CNN's Dana Bash on why the press is 'eager' to defend Abdul El-Sayed
Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers accused the press of being "eager" to protect his opponent, Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed, on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday.
During his interview with host Dana Bash, Rogers criticized El-Sayed as Bash repeatedly pressed him to comment on President Donald Trump calling El-Sayed a "jihadist."
Rogers denied ever referring to El-Sayed as a terrorist himself but argued that there were legitimate concerns over El-Sayed's ideology and his family's alleged past support for the Muslim Brotherhood.
HISTORIC NEWSPAPER GIVES EL-SAYED A SAVAGE REBUKE FOR HIDING HIS PAST WHILE ENDORSING HIS OPPONENT
"He has a long history of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, which, by the way, diminishes women's role in society, just as they did when they took over in Egypt in 2012 and 2013," Rogers said. "He supported that regime."
Bash began interrupting, but Rogers remarked that the press should be more concerned.
"He called for the purging of the press. He called for purging of police. As a matter of fact, if I were the press, I would start looking at this," Rogers said.
Later on in the segment, Rogers and Bash sparred again over a viral clip of El-Sayed responding to whether he disavows the Muslim Brotherhood after past scrutiny of his family's alleged connections to the group.
Bash insisted that El-Sayed responded, "Sure, yes" when asked, but Rogers denied it, calling it a larger issue with his ideology.
"No, that's not true. Dana, listen —" Rogers said.
"I don't want to debate with you," Bash interjected.
"I don't know why the press is so eager for him to protect this guy," Rogers remarked.
"Congressman, I just want to be factual," Bash said.
"And it is. It's an ideology. My argument is, is that ideology something we should worry about? I think it is," Rogers said.
Fox News Digital reached out to CNN and Rogers' campaign for comment.
EL-SAYED ASKED IF HE BELIEVES AMERICA IS 'READY FOR A MUSLIM PRESIDENT' AHEAD OF SENATE RACE
El-Sayed has faced increased scrutiny in his campaign over his family after unearthed social media posts from his half-sister, Eman Abdelhadi, implied that their mother was an active member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
El-Sayed's campaign has denied these claims in a statement to Fox News and argued that Rogers' accusations are "racist and untrue."
"Abdul is a dad and a doctor. He has spent his entire career working to keep Michiganders healthy and safe. Independent fact checkers have repeatedly debunked Mike’s lies, but their campaign continues to use bad faith attacks on Abdul's faith and family. Mike wants to distract from Trump’s agenda that is terrorizing Michigan families at the pump and at the grocery store," the statement read.
A Fox News Digital review of Grabien transcripts found that several legacy news organizations hesitated to report the initial allegations last week. When media reported on the claims, it was often limited to reporting on El-Sayed's denial.
Saudi Arabia on edge: Iconic Kingdom Centre sends workers home amid Houthi attacks
One of Saudi Arabia’s most iconic skyscrapers ordered office workers to stay home Sunday as escalating attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels rattled the capital of Riyadh amid fears of a widening Middle East conflict.
The move came after the Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted two drones in the Riyadh area, a third over the Eastern Province and two ballistic missiles in southern Saudi Arabia overnight, after authorities had earlier issued a threat alert in the capital, also shared on X.
Management at the 99-story Kingdom Centre, a landmark on Riyadh's skyline, ordered office employees to work remotely until further notice, according to reporting by Agence France-Presse (AFP).
The directive affects a building whose tenants include major international financial institutions such as Merrill Lynch, consulting giant McKinsey & Company and the International Monetary Fund.

"Please be advised that remote working arrangements are mandatory for all office employees at Kingdom Centre, effective immediately and until further notice," building management said in an email obtained by AFP.
Employees were instructed not to report back to their offices. The shopping mall at the base of the tower, however, remained open to the public.
Management did not specify a reason for the directive, but it came as repeated missile and drone attacks by Yemen's Houthis disrupted the Saudi capital.
The security concerns also follow a deadly Oct. 10 attack on King Khalid International Airport that killed 13 people and wounded more than 300 others.
As previously reported by Fox News Digital, another strike the following day killed one person and injured 11.
Airport operations have been severely disrupted, while schools in Riyadh have extended remote learning measures amid continued security threats.
The mounting crisis comes as Saudi Arabia's military reported two deaths in a helicopter crash near its southern border with Yemen.
Maj. Gen. Turki al-Maliki, spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition, said Sunday that an AH-6i reconnaissance helicopter crashed in the Najran region because of a technical malfunction, killing both crew members.
Saudi civil defense authorities also reported Sunday that six people were injured when a hostile projectile struck a residential neighborhood in Najran, damaging three homes and three vehicles.
Meanwhile, Egypt moved toward potentially providing military assistance to Saudi Arabia as the kingdom confronts the growing Houthi threat.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi requested an emergency parliamentary session to authorize defensive military support for Saudi Arabia if requested by Riyadh, Reuters reported.
Lawmakers were expected to continue discussions Monday.

The Egyptian presidency said Cairo was prepared to provide Saudi Arabia with necessary support to defend its security, stability, territorial integrity and Islamic holy sites.
The statement followed a meeting of Egypt's National Defense Council chaired by el-Sissi and attended by senior government and military officials.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty also spoke with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan about regional developments and the importance of de-escalation, according to a post on X.
The potential involvement of Egypt, which has one of the Arab world's largest militaries, could significantly expand the regional response to the Houthis.
The Iran-backed group now controls Yemen's capital, Sanaa, and much of the country's north.
Fighting with the Saudi-led coalition, which supports Yemen's internationally recognized government, has intensified amid the broader U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran.
