Maduro ally deported to US over alleged billion-dollar corruption scheme tied to oil, food program
A close ally of ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has been deported by Venezuela to the United States, according to Venezuelan officials, to face federal charges accusing him of orchestrating a sweeping money laundering and bribery scheme tied to Venezuela’s state-run food program and oil industry.
Alex Nain Saab Moran, 55, of Colombia, a former minister of industry and national production under the Maduro regime, appeared in federal court in Miami Monday, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida. The Justice Department said Saab is presumed innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Prosecutors allege Saab led a yearslong scheme beginning around 2015 to defraud a humanitarian program intended to provide food to impoverished Venezuelans.
He and his co-conspirators later allegedly sold billions of dollars’ worth of Venezuelan state-owned oil while circumventing U.S. sanctions, according to the Justice Department. Authorities say the proceeds were routed through U.S. bank accounts in an effort to conceal the transactions and further advance the scheme.
MADURO ALLY ALEX SAAB ARRESTED IN JOINT US-VENEZUELAN OPERATION, OFFICIAL SAYS
"Alex Saab allegedly used American banks to launder hundreds of millions of dollars stolen from a Venezuelan food program meant for the poor and proceeds from the illegal sale of Venezuelan oil," Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva said in a statement. "This is unacceptable. The Criminal Division will not allow foreign actors to exploit the American financial system and use it as a safe haven for the proceeds of their corruption."
Beginning around 2015, Saab and his associates allegedly paid bribes to Venezuelan government officials to secure contracts tied to the country’s CLAP welfare program, which was intended to purchase and distribute food to vulnerable and impoverished Venezuelans.
Instead of delivering the promised food supplies, prosecutors allege the group used shell companies, fraudulent invoices and falsified shipping records to embezzle hundreds of millions of dollars from the program for their own personal gain.
TREASURY TARGETS OIL TRADERS, TANKERS ACCUSED OF HELPING MADURO EVADE U.S. SANCTIONS
Around 2019, as sweeping U.S. sanctions crippled Venezuela’s oil exports and placed severe strain on the country’s finances, including its ability to pay Saab and his associates under the CLAP program, Saab and his partners allegedly exploited their corrupt ties to government officials to gain access to billions of dollars’ worth of oil owned by Venezuela’s state-run oil company.
Officials allege the group sold the oil under false pretenses and used the profits to sustain and expand the original food fraud scheme.
Saab and his associates reportedly laundered the allegedly stolen funds through U.S. bank accounts in an effort to conceal the money trail, giving American authorities jurisdiction to prosecute the case.
"When illicit proceeds are moved through the United States financial system, our courts have jurisdiction and our prosecutors will act," U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones said in a statement.
Saab was previously indicted in the U.S. in 2019 and extradited from Cabo Verde in 2021. He was pardoned by President Biden in 2023 as part of a prisoner swap, though prosecutors say the new case involves alleged conduct not covered by that pardon.
A Miami-based attorney for Saab declined to comment to The Associated Press.
If convicted, Saab faces up to 20 years in federal prison. The government is also seeking forfeiture of any property or proceeds allegedly obtained through the alleged criminal activity.
The case was investigated by a U.S. Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF), which includes the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
Dana White says gnats at Trump's White House Rose Garden dinner raised concerns for outdoor UFC events
Dana White says an exclusive dinner with President Donald Trump at the White House Rose Garden came with one unexpected problem: gnats.
JAKE PAUL CALLS CONOR MCGREGOR ‘COKEHEAD,’ ACCUSES DANA WHITE OF HIJACKING FRANCIS NGANNOU'S WALKOUT
The UFC boss revealed this week that a recent visit to the newly reopened Rose Garden quickly turned into a harsh lesson about the challenges of hosting outdoor events on the East Coast, something that could become especially relevant as conversations continue around UFC's plans for the America 250 celebration in June.
Speaking with Boardroom, White said the bugs were impossible to ignore during the dinner, which immediately got him thinking about UFC events set for 1600 Penn.
"Another problem that I always think about, especially on the East Coast, bugs," White admitted.
UFC SAYS IT WON’T PROFIT FROM WHITE HOUSE EVENT THAT COULD COST 'UPWARDS OF $60M'
"President Trump just opened the Rose Garden two nights ago and he invited me to dinner there. The amount of gnats that were flying around … I’m like, ‘Holy s--t.’ As soon as I got on the plane, I called my head production and said, ‘Yeah, let me tell you about the gnat situation tonight.’"
White, a longtime Trump ally and friend, said the experience immediately shifted his concern toward production tied to outdoor fight cards.
Rather than focusing on the White House setting itself, White said his attention quickly turned toward how bugs could affect lighting, camera shots and the overall broadcast presentation during a live pay-per-view event.
White said in the past, regarding America 250:
"If you are a fan of the UFC, and especially if you have never been to Washington, D.C., we’re going to give away about 85,000 tickets and there’s a process you have to register for tickets and they’re free, but you should come to Washington, D.C., that week, the week of the fight. We’re going to be doing all kinds of things in D.C. for fans and it’s really a cool city for probably most people have never been and if you’re a UFC fan this is absolutely, positively the time to come to D.C."
If the UFC eventually stages a major outdoor card, in Washington, D.C. as part of America 250 celebrations, it sounds like insect control may become part of the production planning.

Bill Belichick accuses CBS of deception in 2025 that involved girlfriend Jordon Hudson
Eight-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick accused CBS of being deceitful in a 2025 interview that generated headlines when his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, appeared to shut down a question about their relationship.
"I thought that the interview I had with them was done very deceptively," the football legend said on a new episode of "Hang Out with Sean Hannity," which will be available Tuesday morning. "I've asked for the transcript from them, and they won't give it to me."
During a 2025 interview with "CBS News Sunday Morning," Hudson said Belichick was "not talking about this" when he was asked by anchor Tony Dokoupil about how she and the New England Patriots icon met.
Hudson, who was watching the interview from a side corner, reportedly interrupted several times and even stormed off at one point, delaying the interview by around 30 minutes. The interview as aired on CBS fueled much criticism directed towards Hudson.
CBS DISPUTE WITH BILL BELICHICK LATEST CONTROVERSY TO HIT EMBATTLED NETWORK
Belichick responded to critics by saying he agreed to speak with "CBS Sunday Morning" about his memoir "The Art of Winning — Lessons from My Life in Football" and added that it was communicated that the interview would focus solely on the book. He said his girlfriend was not "deflecting" the relationship question but rather attempting to steer the interview to remain on topic. He claimed the network was creating a "false narrative" by publicizing "selectively edited clips."
CHECK OUT ALL THE INTERVIEWS ON 'HANG OUT WITH SEAN HANNITY'
"Some of the clips make it appear as though we were avoiding the question of how we met, but we have been open about the fact that Jordon and I met on a flight to Palm Beach in 2021," he said in a statement at the time of the controversy.
On "Hang Out," Belichick told Fox News host Sean Hannity "couldn’t believe" the journalistic conduct from CBS, which had been regarded in its long history as a trusted news network.
RELATIONSHIP EXPERT TALKS BILL BELICHICK-JORDON HUDSON ROMANCE AS SCRUTINY REACHES FEVER PITCH
"Kind of confused about… some of the things that they say they are, but I don’t really see them living up to the trust that they… talk about," he said.
The relationship between Belichick, 74, and Hudson, a 25-year-old former beauty pageant contestant, first became public in 2024.
Belichick pointed out to "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" that criticism over CBS News' editing and alleged hesitance to provide interview transcripts are not isolated. CBS has faced similar controversy in the past, including interviews with former Vice President Kamala Harris and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
"They've done that with others, I'm not really sure what that policy is," he said.
"As we've seen recently, there have been more editing problems, and they go back to, over a couple of years, multiple examples of editing," Belichick added.
Fox News Digital reached out to CBS News for comment. At the time of the uproar over the Belichick broadcast last year, CBS defended the interview.
"When we agreed to speak with Mr. Belichick, it was for a wide-ranging interview," CBS' statement read. "There were no preconditions or limitations to this conversation. This was confirmed repeatedly with his publisher before the interview took place and after it was completed."
Don't miss Hannity’s full conversation with Belichick, including his response to his shocking Hall of Fame snub, when the new episode of "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" becomes available Tuesday on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple.
Mark Cuban forced to play nice with President Trump after agreeing to be business partners
Billionaire Mark Cuban stood on the White House stage Monday alongside the man he spent the last year trying to keep out of the Oval Office.
The former "Shark Tank" star and outspoken Kamala Harris surrogate appeared beside President Donald Trump during the rollout of TrumpRx.gov, which is a new initiative aimed at lowering the cost of 600 generic prescription drugs.
The program partners the Trump administration with major private-sector companies, including Amazon, GoodRx and Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs — officially making Trump and Cuban business partners after a history of heated political attacks.
WATCH:
For much of the campaign cycle, Cuban repeatedly blasted Trump’s economic policies while campaigning for Harris.
TRUMP'S QUEST TO REDUCE DRUG PRICES IS HEATING UP. BUT WILL HE BE ABLE TO DO IT?
Monday’s appearance was a dramatic sight based on their shared vitriol.
The awkward alliance comes shortly after Cuban admitted he regretted selling a majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks to the Adelson family, led by billionaire Miriam Adelson, one of Trump’s biggest donors.
Cuban recently said on a podcast, "I regret who I sold to," after the franchise traded away superstar Luka Dončić.
When a reporter pointed out how "remarkable" it was to see the two former rivals sharing a stage, Trump quickly took a jab at the billionaire.
"Well, he made a mistake. It was a big mistake," Trump said, drawing laughter from the crowd — even from Cuban himself.
After the news conference, Cuban was swarmed by reporters asking whether he regretted backing Harris during the election.
MARK CUBAN DEFENDS HARRIS' FLIP-FLOPPING POSITIONS: 'I'VE CHANGED A LOT OF MY POSITIONS'
"I’m not going into my politics at all," Cuban said, shutting down the question.
Instead, the Dallas Mavericks minority owner framed the partnership as a bipartisan effort focused on lowering healthcare costs.
"Democrats want cheaper medications, too. When all is said and done, the goal is the goal. How do we make medications and healthcare cheaper? That's all I care about," Cuban said.
When reporters pressed him again about Trump, Cuban urged people to look past the politics and focus on the outcome.
"The way I always look at politics and any politician is, the only thing I care about is can they reduce the stress of the American people?" Cuban said.
"This, TrumpRx and Cost Plus Drugs working together, is one step toward reducing your stress. To me, that's the ultimate goal," Cuban added.
For a billionaire who spent months campaigning against Trump, Cuban now finds himself helping promote one of the president’s biggest healthcare initiatives.
They're now ... best frenemies.

Pete Crow-Armstrong apologizes for vulgar response to fan during Cubs' loss: 'Regret my choice of words'
Chicago Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong apologized for using vulgar language in a heated exchange with a fan during Sunday’s loss to the Chicago White Sox.
Crow-Armstrong, the 24-year-old star for the Cubs, said he has learned from the experience, regretting his "choice of words."
PCA was heard saying, "suck my f---ing d--- b----," during the interaction with the fan in the outfield.

"I regret my choice of words the most and who that affects in my life," Crow-Armstrong said Monday afternoon, per ESPN. "Directly or indirectly, I don't think that any of the women in my life would think I would say those kinds of words regularly. I'm just bummed out about the word choice and a bunch of little kids going to social media and seeing that as well."
It was in the fifth inning of the "Crosstown Classic," where Crow-Armstrong was trying to track down a fly ball when he crashed into the wall. He sat on the ground for a bit, while fans were up close along the fence below the bleachers and by the visitor’s bullpen.
PETE CROW-ARMSTRONG GETS INTO UGLY, CURSE-FILLED SCREAMING MATCH WITH FEMALE WHITE SOX FAN
While several people appeared to talk to Crow-Armstrong, a woman heckled him, leading to his pointed response. The interaction was captured on camera, and Crow-Armstrong could be heard very clearly.
"I saw the cameras in my face, it’s not like I didn’t," he admitted. "I’m definitely aware of the fact that it has blown up."
Crow-Armstrong added that he is "intense on the field," but he admitted, "I think I let it get away from me a little bit."
Cubs manager Craig Counsell also hopes that his star outfielder learned from the situation.
"Pete made a mistake with his choice of words," Counsell said. "He's aware of that. ... It's the reality of this job. Fan interactions happen. You want to try and keep them positive even when they're not."
MLB wasn’t looking into the incident despite it going viral, ESPN added.
Crow-Armstrong is in his third year with the Cubs, but he’s already looked at as a key cornerstone of the historic franchise. Before the season, he also represented the United States in the World Baseball Classic.
As a key representative of the franchise and all those in the clubhouse, Crow-Armstrong is hoping he can move forward by "killing someone with kindness instead of matching their level of intent."
I don't want to let that deter from the competitiveness I feel out on the field. Channeling in a different way would probably be my next task," he said.

Donald Trump's age is not receiving the same 'scrutiny' as Biden's did, Atlantic writer complains
The Atlantic claimed on Monday that President Donald Trump has not received "the same kind of scrutiny" as former President Joe Biden regarding his age and stamina.
"When Donald Trump took the oath of office last January, he was the oldest president to begin a term, clocking in at 78 years and 220 days," Jonathan Lemire began his article titled "A Different Kind of Fading President." "He replaced the man who formerly held that title, Joe Biden, who had dropped out of the race after it became quite obvious to the entire country that he had aged too much, too quickly."
He continued, "But as Trump himself grows older—traveling less, switching to more comfortable shoes, and seeming to nod off during meetings—his age isn’t getting the same kind of scrutiny."
Lemire acknowledged that the Biden administration "chided" reporters who would write about the former president's age and suggested that the initial "background" status of Biden's age was because of White House pushback.
"Biden’s team relentlessly pushed back against worried murmurings about his age and ability to handle the responsibilities of the presidency, and, for a while, the storyline was mostly relegated to the background. Democrats who had concerns bit their tongue. The president had enough good days to allow his aides to try to dismiss the narrative as a right-wing talking point, while encouraging allies—and some in the media—to look the other way," he wrote.
Lemire continued, "But then Biden’s deficiencies burst into the open with his faltering, confused performance in a general-election debate that was followed by a wave of recriminations and finger-pointing that continues among Democrats and journalists to this day."
He argued that in light of Trump's more frequent social media posts, ongoing health scandals and scaled-back domestic travels, there should be more questions regarding the president's health as he nears his 80th birthday.
In a statement with Fox News Digital, a White House spokesperson defended Trump's stamina and called out legacy media for covering up Biden's "serious mental and physical decline."
"President Trump’s sharpness, unmatched energy, and historic accessibility stand in stark contrast to what we saw during the last administration when Democrats and the legacy media intentionally covered up Joe Biden’s serious mental and physical decline from the American people," White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said.
Fox News Digital also reached out to Lemire for comment.
Several commentators on X criticized the piece, arguing that members of the media, including Lemire, willingly ignored Biden's health and stamina until his 2024 debate with Trump.
JAKE TAPPER SUGGESTS HE COVERS TRUMP'S AGE TO MAKE UP FOR OVERLOOKING BIDEN
"Left out of the Left's shameless 'Trump is losing it' shtick is that Trump grants the media access CONSTANTLY. The Left wants to punish him for it. They were never punished for hidin' Biden. Well, unless you count Trump winning again," Newsbusters executive editor Tim Graham wrote.
Outkick writer Ian Miller commented, "What scrutiny did Biden get for his age? Every time people brought up videos of his obvious, rapid mental decline, the media called it 'cheap fakes' or conspiracy theories. It wasn’t until the debate happened that they knew he would lose the election and decided to force him out."
"Jonathan Lemire was sitting on set when Joe Scarborough looked directly into a camera and said 'I'm about to tell you the truth, and F you if you can't handle the truth. This is the best version of Biden ever.' That was in March of 2024. Joe Biden would be out of the race 3 months later. This isn't going to work," conservative commentator Stephen Miller wrote.
"What color do you think the sky is on their planet?" radio host Derek Hunter remarked.
Lemire previously criticized the New York Post's June 2024 coverage of viral videos that featured Biden appearing to wander aimlessly at a G-7 Summit during a segment on MS NOW's "Morning Joe." During his comments, he echoed then-White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's description of the videos as "cheap fakes."
"That's the problem here that the Biden campaign but also those of us in the media are going to have to grapple with between now and November because the speed of these fakes only is increasing," Lemire said.
Tourist takes forbidden plunge at iconic landmark as visitors watch, stunned
A tourist visiting Rome drew outrage and anger on social media after he dove into the city’s famous Trevi Fountain.
The man was described by British media outlet The Telegraph as a 30-year-old visitor from New Zealand. He was filmed jumping into the historic fountain while fully clothed as crowds nearby watched.
A TikTok video of the incident, which has been viewed more than 12 million times, showed the tourist walking backward before running toward the fountain and then diving into the water.
HISTORIC ROME LANDMARK'S TEMPORARY CLOSURE CAUSES UPROAR: 'SADDEST THING I’VE SEEN IN ITALY'
The man continued moving around inside the fountain even as police ordered him to get out, according to the outlet.
Authorities reportedly fined him €500, or roughly $580 — and banned him from returning to the site, the outlet noted.
The Trevi Fountain is one of Rome’s most visited landmarks. It has endured repeated instances of tourists entering the water despite strict rules and increased security measures.

The most recent incident quickly sparked backlash online, with many commenters criticizing the tourist’s behavior as disrespectful.
"Sorry, Italian bros. Some of us missed the respecting places lesson," one Reddit user wrote.
Another commenter added, "Obviously didn’t get the ‘when in Rome do as the Romans do’ memo."
Others argued the punishment should have been more severe.

"If I was the Italian authority, I would make an example out of this guy," one user commented.
The controversy follows several similar incidents at the Trevi Fountain in recent years.

Fox News Digital previously reported that Rome recently introduced new restrictions and fees aimed at protecting the Trevi Fountain from overcrowding and repeated tourist incidents.
Beginning in February 2026, foreign visitors have been required to pay a small entry fee to access the landmark as city officials attempt to better manage crowds and preserve the historic site.
The Trevi Fountain attracts tens of thousands of visitors daily and more than 9 million people annually, according to Rome officials.
City leaders previously said overcrowding at the fountain had become increasingly difficult to manage, particularly during peak tourism periods.

High school athlete slams CIF's shared podium rule as humiliating response that fails female competitors
AB Hernandez, a trans athlete (biological male), spent another weekend dominating girls' track and field competition, winning first place in the high jump, long jump and triple jump at the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern Section finals on Saturday (as reported by Fox News Digital's Jackson Thompson).
Appearing on America's Newsroom, Crean Lutheran High School girls’ track and field athlete Olivia Viola addressed CIF's ongoing neglect of female athletes' calls to oust boys from competition, including AB Hernandez.
Dana Perino spoke with Olivia and her mother:
"Olivia, sorry for what you're going through. Riley Gaines posted this: 'If you have to create a shared podium for the boy competing in the girls' event, you've already admitted you know he isn't a girl and that his participation is unfair. At that point, you're just seeking a public humiliation ritual for the girls.'"
TRACK STAR SAYS SHE'S TIRED OF CHRISTIANS BEING CALLED 'BIGOTS' FOR OPPOSING TRANS ATHLETES IN GIRLS' SPORTS
The high school athlete responded, emphasizing that the CIF's co-champion rule only applies to major postseason state qualifiers.
"I would say it's nothing but a band-aid fix from the athletic governing board. It doesn't actually undo all of the displacements that have happened throughout their entire league. It only applies to the final CIF meets. It doesn't apply to league, it doesn't apply to outside meets, it doesn't apply to other sports. It doesn't actually fix the problem; it's just a blanket to keep us quiet."
WATCH:
The controversy stems from the outcome of Saturday's CIF Southern Section Division finals in Moorpark, California.
Hernandez, a senior from Jurupa Valley High School, swept the postseason jumping events and defeated Crean Lutheran’s Reese Hogan in the high jump. It was the second weekend in a row that Hernandez asserted dominance over the field.
As dictated by CIF, seen as trying to appeal to both sides of the trans issue, any biological female athlete finishing directly behind a transgender competitor is automatically elevated to an identical placement.
The policy meant the top biological female finishers were designated co-champions, leading to widespread images of Hernandez sharing the top step of the medal podium with female athletes.
While CIF finds its ruling judicious, girls are calling out the blatant issue of allowing boys to compete with girls. Viola’s reaction spotlighted growing frustration among competitors who believe the ruling body is using procedural fixes to avoid addressing biological differences in girls' sports.
The rule does not retroactively address the regular season, where female athletes across California can still be displaced in local league meets, invitationals and dual meets without any podium adjustment.
And while track and field adopted the dual-advancement and dual-medal system, the policy does not easily translate to head-to-head contact sports or other athletic competitions, creating what critics see as a glaring inconsistency across the state.
CIF maintains that its rules are bound by California Assembly Bill 1266, a 2013 law requiring schools to allow students to participate in sports programs consistent with their gender identity.
Governor Gavin Newsom's office defended the framework, calling protests against Hernandez a cynical attempt to weaponize the debate.
However, resistance from female athletes like Viola aligns with a broader federal pushback.
Following Hernandez's dominant state titles last year, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a Title IX lawsuit against California's education agencies, putting the state's athletic policies at the center of a growing national legal battle as the track season moves toward the State Finals in Clovis.
The fight to preserve fairness in girls' sports continues. And the case against AB continues to echo pro-women's arguments more than anti-trans narratives.

Football legend Bill Belichick addresses Hall of Fame snub and whether it was a 'political' decision
Legendary Patriots coach Bill Belichick addressed his Pro Football Hall of Fame snub and whether he believes the decision was "political."
In January, Belichick did not receive the required 40 votes to be inducted into the Hall of Fame Class of 2026.
"Well, out of my control," he said on the latest episode of "Hang Out with Sean Hannity," which will drop on Tuesday morning. "Honestly, I've been very focused on my job at the University of North Carolina and the players, and the university there. So, you know, whatever happens, happens."
"I'm proud of what we accomplished as a team at New England and certainly at the Giants and proud of those relationships, so that's what matters most," the eight-time Super Bowl champion added.
TOM BRADY PERPLEXED OVER BILL BELICHICK FAILING TO MAKE HALL OF FAME ON FIRST BALLOT
Belichick joined the University of North Carolina Tar Heels after leaving his 24-year coaching tenure with the New England Patriots in 2024.
Belichick’s Hall of Fame snub received widespread criticism from figures both inside and outside the football world, including President Donald Trump and Tom Brady.
"It is the same mindset that gave pro football the new and unwatchable 'Sissy' Kickoff Rule, that made it possible for Bill Belichick to not be elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Both are ridiculous and should be overturned!" Trump wrote on Truth Social in reaction to the snub.
"I don't understand it," Tom Brady said, who was coached by Belichick for 20 seasons. "I was with him every day. If he's not a first-ballot Hall of Famer, there's really no coach that should ever be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, which is completely ridiculous because people deserve it."
Fox News host Sean Hannity asked Belichick about the robust support he received following the January snub.
"Did that make you feel good that so many people came out defending you?" Hannity asked.
CHECK OUT FULL EPISODES OF ‘HANG OUT WITH SEAN HANNITY’
"Absolutely," Belichick responded. "It's great to hear that support from so many people and from so many different fields, not just football, but you know, many others. And so, I was very appreciative of that support and, you know, the positive comments that they made."
Belichick failed to meet the 40-vote requirement from the 50-member Hall of Fame selection committee to be inducted.
When asked by Hannity whether he believes the decision was "political," Belichick pointed to the committee voters and emphasized he had no control over the matter.
"You have to ask the voters. I didn't have a say in it," the football legend said.
"Whatever their opinion is, I'll let them talk about it."
Hannity’s full wide-ranging conversation with Belichick on the "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" podcast will be available Tuesday on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple. They discuss his relationship with Tom Brady, coaching history at the Patriots and the future of college football.
Amy Schumer says she's 'not feeling very sexual' after 'botched' medical procedure
Amy Schumer is feeling better than ever despite a minor health setback.
Schumer casually admitted she suffered a "botched colonoscopy" during an appearance in New York with podcast host Amanda Hirsch.
"I feel happier than I've ever been before," Schumer said before divulging more into her medical history.
"Does it have anything to do with being really hot or none of it has to do with being hot," Hirsch asked her director friend while on stage at Webster Hall for the "Not Skinny, but Not Fat" podcast event with Dear Media.
"Oh my God. Thank you so much," Schumer said.
"I actually had kind of a botched colonoscopy, so I'm not feeling very sexual, but see that's another thing you're not going to have to worry about for 15 years, OK?"
AMY SCHUMER SHARES SCARY SIDE EFFECT FROM OZEMPIC THAT LEFT HER BEDRIDDEN
The "Kinda Pregnant" actress assured Hirsch, "You're going to love it, though."
Schumer's representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
The comedian has kept fans abreast of her health journey through the years, and admitted last year that her experience with Mounjaro was vastly different than when she tried an alternative weight-loss medication.
In a previous attempt to lose weight, the comedian experienced debilitating side effects while using Ozempic for weight-loss purposes.

"I wanted to share and keep it 100 with you, that years ago – and yes, this is completely unsafe to be driving and making a video – years ago, three years ago, I tried WeGovy, and I was like puking," Schumer said in the social media clip captured while she was behind the wheel.
"I couldn't handle it. I don't know if they've changed the formula or whatever … but anyway, I went on this telehealth meeting with MidiHealth, and it was cheap. I wanted to try it myself, cause I wanted to recommend it to my friends who are like nurses and teachers."

In addition to the injectable medication, which is primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes, the "Trainwreck" star has a new routine which includes hormones.
"They put me on estrogen and progesterone because I realized I was in perimenopause and my symptoms of being in perimenopause have disappeared," Schumer said.
"My hair is fuller, my skin is better, I have more energy, I want to get down more if you know what I mean – I'm talking about sex."
She added, "So that's been great, Mounajro's been great … I'm having a really good experience with it and I wanted to keep it real with you about that."
