NTSB recovers cockpit voice recorder from Learjet crash site in Florida
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) announced on Monday that it has recovered the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) of the Learjet 60 that crashed last week near Greenacres, Florida, killing all nine people on board.
"NTSB investigators have recovered the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) of the Learjet 60 that crashed on Nov. 1 near Greenacres, Florida," the NTSB said on X.
The CVR was found at the location of the initial impact, according to the NTSB.
The NTSB said the CVR is being evaluated in the board's Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, D.C.
The excavation work at the impact site has been completed.
This comes after investigators said on Friday that they recovered part of an engine from the Learjet.
Crews started excavating the site on Wednesday after utility workers had drained water and cleared other hazards, the NTSB said.
Once investigators began digging, they found a part of one engine, the board said.
Earlier last week, investigators recovered the left tail elevator, which controls the jet's pitch, in three separate pieces. One of them was found nearly four miles from where the Learjet 60 crashed.
FLORIDA PLANE CRASH VICTIMS IDENTIFIED AFTER 9 PEOPLE KILLED IN FIERY WRECK
"Even small pieces of the wreckage may contain important evidence that could help investigators determine what happened," the agency wrote last week on X.
The Learjet 60 left Austin-Bergstrom International Airport around 10:37 a.m. on Sunday, bound for North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas. The aircraft plunged into the ground in Palm Beach County shortly before 1 p.m., killing everyone aboard.
Austin tech entrepreneur Adam Robinson, 45, was killed in the crash alongside his wife, Helen Sharp, 40, their children, Emma, 4, and Charlie, 2, the children's nanny, Anita Maria Cetina, and couple Rachael Reed and Charmi Fehr.
Heavy rain and thunderstorms were reported across South Florida when the Learjet crashed. Investigators said the weather will be a major focus of their probe.
At about 41,000 feet, an air traffic controller told the flight crew that moderate precipitation was roughly five miles away and said they could move either left or right, stressing that the turn toward Freeport in the Bahamas "looks pretty bad."
The crew was then instructed to fly to a waypoint near Naples, Florida. The crew made a deviation toward Palm Beach County and reported that weather conditions were deteriorating. The crew told air traffic control that there was icing and turbulence, asking the controller if there was a "better ride" ahead.

Democrats could create 'angry' 'single-issue' voters in 2028 if they remove school choice, CEO warns
The CEO of America’s largest school choice advocacy organization is warning Democrats that abolishing existing universal school choice programs could trigger a major voter backlash in the 2028 elections.
"Put yourself into the shoes of a lower-income mother who is a single parent. She has two or three kids that now just got access into a great private school or a great homeschooling environment that she couldn't afford otherwise without a state program like in Texas, and suddenly, the new wave of people that maybe she even voted for is saying, 'I want to take those options away from your kid immediately and put them back into the school that they've hated,'" American Federation for Children CEO Tommy Schultz told Fox News Digital. "That you've been begging the school district to change policies about … You're now going to tell them you got to go back to that school? They're going to become a single-issue voter in 2028 and vote you out of office."
"I think a lot of these folks that just won office need to be really careful with trying to threaten taking away a family from an educational setting that their kids are thriving in that they're loving, that they're feeling safe in," he added. "That's fundamentally what's at issue here."
DEMOCRATS SEIZE MAJORITY OF GOVERNORS’ OFFICES IN ELECTION-NIGHT SHIFT
Schultz’s comments followed recent midterm election gains by Democrats that have put landmark Republican education policies into question. Republican governors across the country previously passed universal school choice and parental rights measures as post-COVID culture war debates intensified and enrollments declined in major metropolitan public school districts.
In Texas, Democratic Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa signaled her intent to reverse school choice expansion upon taking office.
11TH-HOUR POWER PLAY TARGETS INCOMING DEM GOVERNOR AFTER HISTORIC GOP DEFEAT
"It is a victory for the parents of Texas. We are taking our children’s education back from a government that has failed them," Hinojosa said during her victory speech. "Schools will not be taken out of our control, shuttered or suffocated. Being a parent is hard enough without carrying the burdens of a government’s failures. To the children of Texas: Your schools will not close."
The renewed clash over vouchers comes as major urban districts navigate shifting enrollment dynamics. Big-city public school systems across the nation have struggled to retain students as families seek alternative options outside their neighborhood assignments.
NUMBER OF K-12 PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS HAS DECLINED IN MORE THAN HALF OF STATES, REPORT INDICATES
In Texas, for example, the Houston Independent School District board previously voted unanimously to close 12 campuses, citing declining enrollment.
"On day one, I will fire [Texas Education Agency Commissioner] Mike Morath, and we will work tirelessly to repair the damage of the Texas voucher scam, and end an era in which our schools are sold for parts," Hinojosa added during her victory remarks.
A BLUE WAVE IN GOVERNORS' MANSIONS COULD HURT FAMILIES MORE THAN A BLUE CONGRESS
Voucher and school choice programs face similar legislative challenges following Democratic victories in states like Iowa, Georgia and Nevada.
Schultz predicted that attempts to roll back school choice legislation could ignite a new wave of parental rights activism. Conservative victories in school board races in recent cycles underscored how parents began paying closer attention to local governance, challenging progressive curricula, and voicing strong opposition to explicit content and LGBTQ-related books in classrooms.
Conservative political action committees have significantly expanded their footprint in local education contests since 2022. The Virginia-based American Principles Project (APP) first engaged in Florida school board races that year, funding attack ads targeting critical race theory and gender ideology. The APP and the 1776 Project PAC remain among the prominent conservative groups working to shape national education policy.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, school board meetings have frequently turned into high-profile clashes over parental authority in public education. Schultz foresees similar grassroots pushback if choice options are eliminated.

"If you're going to take away something from parents that they're really loving—like especially something as emotional as the school that your kid is going to—they’re going to get quite angry," Schultz said. "That's where you've seen these movements, in Florida, where these parents rose up against candidates or even court cases where they tried to take hundreds of thousands of kids out of the schools they loved and put 'em back in the schools that they hated. They became single-issue voters."
The broader parental rights movement led several Republican governors to codify parental bills of rights in recent years. Political analysts frequently point to parental rights platforms as key drivers in the election campaigns of figures like former Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
TRUMP EDUCATION OFFICIAL SAYS SCHOOL CHOICE PROGRAM WILL PUT PRESSURE ON DEM-LED STATE
"If you look at the headlines from that 2018 race with Governor Ron DeSantis, the school choice moms tipped the Florida race for him," Schultz said. "That's the type of thing we're talking about that could happen to a lot of these candidates who maybe won on affordability, but they won maybe on small margins, particularly in these state legislative races."
"Don't overread your mandate to suddenly say, 'I want to wipe out a really popular program with parents,'" he added.
Hinojosa did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Colts' Jonathan Taylor deserves to be sent to 'contender' if traded, former teammate says
NFL teams are coming down to the wire when it comes to the trade deadline, needing to make trades for the remainder of the season by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
At this point, teams have positioned themselves as buyers or sellers, and the Indianapolis Colts are the latter. And all eyes are on them to see what happens with All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor.
Will he remain in a Colts uniform for, at least, the rest of the year? Or will a contender finally hit the asking price needing to send him elsewhere?
CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE
Owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon, who gave the nod to trade guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner already, is reportedly taking calls on Taylor as well as quarterback Daniel Jones and wide receiver Josh Downs. But Taylor has been the cream of the trade buzz crop since the Colts cemented themselves as a team in rebuild mode.
So, should Irsay-Gordon and interim GM Ed Dodds pull the trigger on a Taylor trade? That question was posed to former Colts quarterback Nick Foles, who has been watching the situation unfold very closely, by OutKick during a recent interview look ahead to his role as an analyst on Netflix for the first-ever NFL Thanksgiving Eve game later this month.
"Man, now I have to put on a business mind, right?" he responded. "As a person who was his teammate, I would never trade him ‘cause I know just what he brings to the team as a leader and as a player. But as a personnel decision maker, he’s getting older as a running back, and if you can get something super value like a high draft pick for him – you are in rebuild. You’ve already shown that. I feel like you’re going to do it.

"That pains me to say."
If the Colts do decide to part ways with the 27-year-old running back, he did have one request.
"Please send Jonathan to a team that’s a contender," he said emphatically. "Give him that opportunity, right? Like he deserves that opportunity.
"If they do, he will be dearly missed in Indianapolis because of the quality of human being, teammate, and player he is. But I can definitely see her doing it from a business perspective in this rebuild to just get some draft capital."
If the Colts are going to trade Taylor, they reportedly want a steep asking price met – something like the San Francisco 49ers gave the Carolina Panthers for Christian McCaffrey. That was a second-, third, and fourth-round pick in 2023 and a 2024 fifth-round pick in the famous 2022 deadline deal.
A contender with that type of draft capital could justify the move knowing Taylor would be locked in through the 2028 season. It wouldn’t just be a trade for the 2026 campaign, but two years in the future before a possible extension.
Among the teams being aggressive on the trade market are the New York Giants, as the John Harbaugh-led squad owns the top spot in the NFC East in his first season there, and they could use an elite running back to add to their offense now and for the future. The Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings and others have been rumored to be in the Taylor market, but the clock is ticking and time is of the essence.
Who will bend first, if at all? This is why the deadline is so intriguing for NFL fans, including Foles who can’t wait to see where teams stack up after it.
Foles also can’t wait for his duties on Nov. 25 when he and fellow ex-pros Clay Matthews and Michael Irvin join Elle Duncan as part of the broadcast crew for the historic matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Green Bay Packers. U2 will also celebrate 50 years together from the 50-yard line, as they perform at halftime with special guests during this new NFL holiday tradition.
Teams will look different at that point, though, and the coming weeks will show if those trade deadline moves paid off or not.
LeBron James says 'my family is safe' after man caught on grounds of his Los Angeles home
Police handcuffed a man outside LeBron James' Los Angeles home Friday night, and by the time officers finished asking questions, they slapped him with a felony stalking charge.
Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department were dispatched to the private residence in posh Brentwood following a 9-1-1 dispatch regarding a suspected burglary. Upon arrival at the premises, responding units caught a man roaming the grounds.

Investigators established that the individual never breached the interior structure and carried no weapons. Officers secured and handcuffed the man.
Once officers sorted through the story on site, they bypassed a standard burglary rap and booked him on charges of felony stalking instead.
SIXERS FAN WHO HAD HIS CUP OF WINE DRUNK BY LEBRON JAMES MID-GAME DESCRIBES MOMENT WITH EPIC QUOTE
Luckily, nobody was home when it went down.
James was out on the road with the 76ers, handling business against his old squad in Cleveland on Friday night before flying straight to Chicago for a Sunday tilt with the Bulls. He addressed the situation following Philadelphia's 127-122 win over Chicago at United Center.
"My family is safe and that's the most important. We're still looking into everything." None of the off-court noise seemed to bother James once the ball was tipped. He went out and hung 22 points on Chicago.
Under the California Penal Code, a felony stalking charge carries strict criminal consequences. If convicted, the suspect could face up to three years in state prison, a $10,000 fine, formal probation and a court-ordered restraining order.
The Los Angeles Police Department has not released the suspect's name, and the case remains under active review.

Knicks guard walks back comment about Taylor Swift being fake fan after Swifties, including his wife, attack
Knicks guard Tyler Kolek knew the Swifties weren't going to appreciate him calling Taylor Swift the "fakest" celebrity fan that sits courtside. It wouldn’t matter if she actually was, that group will defend the singer no matter what.
He probably didn’t know his own franchise was going to throw him under the bus. They did, almost immediately after his comments started to circulate.
A spokesperson said in a statement to OutKick, "Taylor Swift has been a Knicks fan for many years, has a long history with Madison Square Garden, and we are incredibly appreciative of her support of the organization."
THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!
Now if anyone was going to have his back, it would be his girlfriend Lexi Sousa, right? While I'm sure she didn’t kick him out of the house over it, she didn’t exactly have his back either.
She reminded Kolek that he was one of the guys in attendance during the Era's Tour, who, it doesn’t sound like needed to be dragged there by his girlfriend. The heat from the Swifties, including his girlfriend, had him walk back the comment.
"It’s just a question that was asked for me, that maybe I answered in the wrong way. Take that on the chin. I love her music. We were just playing it five minutes ago, and I’m singing every word to every song. Nothing against her at all," he said after the Knicks win over the Cavs this weekend, according to the NY Post.
"People have been going back and sending me all this stuff about her coming to the games, and she was actually wearing a [No.] 13 jersey [of] Joakim Noah back in the day with Carmelo [Anthony]. That’s on me. I wasn’t up to date on my Taylor Swift Knicks fandom. So that’s on me."
As someone with no dog in this fight, other than some minor skirmishes with Swifties, it's bizarre that the team that won the NBA Championship last season is getting caught up in such a made-up controversy.
NFL LEGEND EMMITT SMITH DEFENDS TAYLOR SWIFT AS HER PRESENCE AT GAMES DRAWS IRE OF FOOTBALL FANS
The fact that the Knicks wanted no part of the Swifties too is another piece of this that is hard for me to wrap my mind around. All I'm going to say is Tyler Kolek better bone up on his Kylie Jenner Knicks fandom.
She's easily my favorite Knicks fan. She might not have a group of insane fans who go to war with anyone who criticizes her, but I will take offense if there are any claims that Kylie isn't a real fan.
She's done more for the Knicks than a lot of other fans, including Taylor Swift. Unlike Kolek, I'll stand by that.
You won't find my apologizing, because if you do, you'll end up doing things like Taylor Swift karaoke in the locker room.
Charlamagne tha God calls out Dave Chappelle's Kirk comments, wouldn't wish them 'on my worst enemy'
Radio host Charlamagne tha God criticized comedian Dave Chappelle's joke about the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk on Monday.
Despite rules barring cell phones from the Madison Square Garden show, a video circulating on social media on Friday showed Chappelle appearing to make the remarks during his "Karmageddon" tour stop in New York City.
"I feel f----- up saying this. It’s scary being a public speaker. And I mean, look, ever since that guy, Charlie Kirk, got murdered, and I shouldn’t say this publicly, but, I feel better," Chappelle said.
'SNL' WEEKEND UPDATE ANCHOR CALLS REPUBLICANS SLURS, MOCKS CHARLIE KIRK IN STAND-UP SPECIAL
After playing the audio of his comments on his radio show "The Breakfast Club," Charlamagne immediately responded that he didn't "find the humor" in the comment.
"I don't find the humor in people getting clapped, okay?" Charlamagne said. "Any of us can be shot, and I don't want anybody getting shot because somebody disagrees with their opinion. So yeah, you have the freedom to, you know, joke and talk about whatever you want to joke and talk about, but personally I don't want to deal with the energy of that. Like I don't wish stuff like that on my worst enemy."
Some of his co-hosts noted that the clip of Chappelle's comments was released without any additional context. Charlamagne agreed but remarked that it seemed like it was an "observation" made by Chappelle.
"It just sounded like he made an observation — at least from what that clip just played, that it was just like he felt better after Charlie Kirk got shot and killed," Charlamagne said.
PETE DAVIDSON SPARKS BACKLASH AFTER EXPLICIT JOKE ABOUT SLAIN CHARLIE KIRK DURING NETFLIX ROAST
Fox News Digital reached out to Charlamagne's and Chappelle's representatives for comment.
In his comments, Chappelle described not only feeling "better" after Kirk's death but also experiencing unexpected high spirits after the news.
"I just be driving around like, ‘Why am I in such a good mood? Oh!'" Chappelle remarked.
Chappelle received backlash across social media for what some commentators called a "sick" joke. In response to the viral video, TPUSA pointed Fox News Digital to Erika Kirk's statement on X, in which she wrote that treating the destruction of human life as a punchline is "disgusting."
"A culture that laughs at assassination is one of profound moral decay. It threatens the very foundation of our country and the principles that hold our democracy together. You do not have to agree with someone’s politics to recognize the value of their life. This should not be so hard," she wrote.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, TPUSA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet made similar comments, acknowledging people's freedom of speech but encouraging a level of decorum.
"We're not asking people to, you know, be evangelical Christians here. We're asking don't celebrate, condone or glorify political violence. Don't be happy when someone's assassinated. It's a very, very low bar. But if we don't keep it, then everything else falls apart," Kolvet said.
Bruce Springsteen fan club founders say political fights, El-Sayed endorsement led to shutdown: report
A Bruce Springsteen fan club couldn't escape the badlands and shuttered over political commentary.
Founded more than a decade ago, the "Spring-Nuts" Facebook group dedicated to The Boss noticed its 18,000 members were no longer focused on his music as they battled against "hateful" online discourse due to Springsteen's public stances and recent endorsement of Michigan's senator-elect, Abdul El-Sayed.
"As the world grew increasingly divisive, hostile, those tensions inevitably spilled into our little corner of the E Street world," founders Julie and Howie Chaz said in a statement posted on Sunday, Nov. 8, according to Asbury Park Press.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN SPARKS FAN FURY AFTER BACKING ABDUL EL-SAYED IN MICHIGAN SENATE RACE
"What should have been respectful differences of opinion too often deteriorated into personal attacks, bullying, insults, and some genuinely vile and hateful rhetoric."
Springsteen embarked on the "Land of Hope and Dreams" tour earlier this year with the E Street Band and legendary guitarist Tom Morello.
The 20-date tour across North America was slated in response to President Donald Trump and the "No Kings" protests.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN REIGNITES TRUMP FEUD, SAYS 'CRITICAL PATRIOTISM' DEFINES A PATRIOT
"We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair – the cavalry is coming," Springsteen said while announcing the tour on social media in February.
"We will be rocking your town in celebration and in defense of America – American democracy, American freedom, our American Constitution and our sacred American dream – all of which are under attack by our wannabe king and his rogue government in Washington, D.C."
He added, "Everyone, regardless of where you stand or what you believe in, is welcome – so come on out and join the United Free Republic of E Street Nation for an American spring of rock 'n' rebellion! I’ll see you there!"
"Spring-Nuts" founder Howie Chaz admitted that as Springsteen became "more outspoken about his politics," the group administrators were tasked with a "difficult balancing act" of respecting "his absolute right" while maintaining an ethical online community.

"How could we be a Bruce Springsteen fan community trying to protect that harmony and camaraderie and ignore messages and statements coming directly from the very artist who brought us all together," Howie said.
Springsteen's November endorsement of El-Sayed as "a fighter for our American Constitution" was the final straw for admins.
"Mr. Sayed campaigned with Hasan Piker who openly made horrific statements that America deserved 9/11," Howie said.
"After a Michigan synagogue was attacked back in March, obviously an act of terrorism, Sayed rationalized it by saying 'Hurt people hurt people' standing right next to the antisemitic streamer Hasan Piker who made the despicable 9/11 statement."

His endorsement was "deeply disappointing to us, given our concerns as proud Jews," Julie and Howie said.
"We certainly don't believe Bruce intended for his message to make fans feel unwelcome. But very unfortunately, some of his fans appointed themselves the gatekeepers of who was and wasn't worthy of belonging in the E Street community."
While the group's annual Seaside Serenade and Spring-Nuts podcasts will continue under a different name, the group will rebrand with a focus on music in general, Howie told the Asbury Park Press.
"One thing we want to make absolutely clear is that Julie and I can NEVER thank Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band enough for the decades of music, memories, inspiration, and absolute JOY they have brought into our lives," Howie said on Facebook.
PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE
"Bruce has been, and always will be, an enormous part of our personal story and journey. His music has been the soundtrack to so many of the most meaningful moments of our lives, and through Spring-Nuts, it opened doors, created opportunities, and introduced us to extraordinary people and experiences we could never have imagined."
Springsteen's representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Man killed in fiery Kentucky jet crash told daughter of trouble in midair
A 70-year-old Wisconsin man was killed in a fiery crash Sunday, Nov. 8, when his military-style jet plunged into a field in Mayfield, Kentucky, shortly after takeoff.
The accident turned a cross-country flight alongside his daughter into a sudden tragedy.
The pilot, identified as James Alan Michaels of Dousman, Wisconsin, and his 35-year-old daughter, Tonie Michaels, were flying separate L-39 Albatros jets.
"The father and daughter were flying back to Wisconsin from Mississippi," the Graves County Sheriff's Office told Fox News Digital.
'WE NEED TO RETURN IMMEDIATELY,' FLIGHT CREW WARNS AS PILOT HEALTH EMERGENCY UNFOLDS
The pair had been at an air show and stopped at an airport in Mayfield to get fuel, the sheriff's office said.
After takeoff, "they were gaining altitude and the deceased ... said he was having issues," the sheriff's office said. "He was going to turn and go back to the airport."
Soon after, "he radioed ... that he was not going to be able to land," the sheriff's office said.
"We think he tried to land in an open field," the sheriff's office said.
However, at around 2:08 p.m., the plane went down just off Spence Chapel Road near Interstate 69 and Ky. 131. "It hit a ditch in that field," the sheriff's office said.
"The ditch seems to be the cause of the main impact," the sheriff's office said. "The plane caught fire and actually rolled."

The pilot was the only person on the plane. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The daughter soon arrived at the scene, the sheriff's office said.
"She turned around and landed back at the airport. [Then] she started making phone calls."
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) told Fox News Digital that Sunday's crash occurred around 2:25 p.m. local time, though local authorities recorded the crash time slightly earlier, at 2:08 p.m.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said its investigators will lead the probe into the crash.

An investigator was expected to arrive at the scene Monday evening to document the site and examine the aircraft before it's recovered to a secure facility for further evaluation, the NTSB said.
The NTSB said its investigations involve three primary areas: the pilot, the aircraft, and the operating environment.
As part of the process, investigators will gather flight track data, air traffic control communications, aircraft maintenance records, witness statements and weather conditions, the agency said.
It said investigators will also review the pilot’s license, ratings, recency of flight experience and 72-hour background check to determine if any issues could have affected his ability to safely operate the flight.
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
During the on-scene phase of the investigative process, the NTSB does not determine or speculate about the cause of the accident, the agency said.
A probable cause of the crash along with any contributing factors will be detailed in the final report, which is expected in 12 to 24 months, the NTSB said.
Sixteen years prior to this accident, the same father and daughter duo survived a small-plane crash in a remote area of Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, WBAY News Report said at the time.
On July 8, 2010, James Michaels was piloting a single-engine aircraft with his daughter as his passenger when they encountered a severe downdraft.
The pair crash-landed in heavy timber in Forest Canyon while flying toward Aspen, the National Park Service Summary Report via NTSB Docket previously said.
Both walked away from the 2010 crash with minor cuts and scratches.
They used branches and the plane's sheared-off wreckage to build a shelter as they were stranded overnight during evening storms, The Denver Post reported at the time.
Trump renews call for Pete Rose pardon, saying MLB's all-time hits leader was 'mistreated'
President Donald Trump is back saying he would pardon Major League Baseball’s all-time hits leader, the late Pete Rose, but not just for his gambling scandal that has him out of the National Baseball Hall of Fame to begin with.
He would’ve pardoned him in his capacity for federal tax charges he pleaded guilty to in April 1990.
Trump was alongside UFC CEO Dana White, whom the 47th president said he was "only kidding" about making his new press secretary on Truth Social over the weekend. Nonetheless, White flew to Washington D.C. to meet with Trump and field questions from reporters.

He was asked about Pete Rose first, with the reporter referencing Trump’s consideration to pardon the baseball great in the past.
"I don’t advise the president on anything ever, but yeah, I think it’s fair. I think it’s fair to pardon Pete Rose. Yes," White responded.
Then, Trump jumped in.
"By the way, why does he need a pardon? He was not really convicted of a criminal – " Trump said before he was cut off by the reporter to provide clarity.
TRUMP SAYS HE WAS ‘ONLY KIDDING’ ABOUT MAKING DANA WHITE PRESS SECRETARY
"It was tax charges, sir," the reporter said.
"Oh, he did? I’d give Pete Rose a pardon," Trump responded. "I think Pete Rose was very mistreated. He had 4,200-and-some-odd hits, way ahead of anyone else. A record that can’t ever be broken. And he was caught gambling, and now it’s legal. But he was gambling on his own team, Dana. He wasn’t gambling against [his team] – that’s different.
"He was gambling. He shouldn’t have done it, but he went through 40 years of hell and they should be giving him a pardon. They should be getting him into the [National] Baseball Hall of Fame a long time ago. I spoke to the commissioner about it. He agreed to do it, and then he waited though, and Pete Rose died. So, it didn’t help him too much, but I would give Pete Rose a pardon. I would do that."
In March 2025, Trump took to Truth Social to say he would be "signing a complete pardon" of Rose, who had died the previous year before ever seeing himself in the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Writers, though, had never been given the option to vote in the man with the most hits in MLB history (4,256) with the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) and Hall of Fame following suit with the league’s lifetime ban of Rose in 1989 for gambling.
But commissioner Rob Manfred lifted that ban of Rose and several other players posthumously from the ineligible list in May 2025, allowing the possibility for those players to be voted in. That has yet to happen.
Speaking with reporters back in May, Trump suggested Rose’s absence from the Hall was a "disservice."
"I think Pete Rose should have been in the Baseball Hall of Fame a long time ago," Trump said. "I think baseball did a great disservice by not respecting his achievements on the field."
Manfred admitted at an owners meeting in 2025 that Trump’s support for Rose was one of the many factors that went into the decision to lift him from the ineligible list.

"The president was one of a number of voices that was supportive of the idea that this was the right decision," Manfred said in May 2025. "Obviously, I have respect for the office, and the advice that he gave I paid attention to, but I had a lot of other people that were weighing in on the topic as well."
Major League Baseball itself does not control who gets into the Hall of Fame; the baseball writers vote initially, while other committees to get players in further down the road are made by the Hall itself, not the league.
Rose died last September at the age of 83 from hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Nicknamed "Charlie Hustle" for his relentless drive when on the diamond, Rose was league MVP in 1973, a 17-time All-Star, three-time batting title winner, Rookie of the Year and World Series MVP.
Despite his 4,256 career hits, he became a polarizing figure when the news of his gambling on baseball rocked the sports world.
Rose tried to apply for reinstatement to Major League Baseball on several occasions but was always denied. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred denied one in 2015, saying that Rose did not take responsibility for his actions and didn’t understand the damage he had caused while betting on the game.
Rose applied for reinstatement in 2020 and 2022, especially with legalized sports betting happening across the country. However, Manfred denied both requests, pointing to the Veteran’s Committee for any Hall of Fame discussions regarding Rose. Manfred also shot down any speculation about Rose’s reinstatement in 2023, as the league had partnerships with sportsbooks.
Though he isn't in the Baseball Hall of Fame, the Reds inducted Rose into their own hall of fame in 2016, retiring his No. 14. He made several appearances in MLB ballparks in recent years before his death.
In April 1990, Rose pleaded guilty to two felony counts of filing false federal income returns, covering tax years in 1985 and 1987. He admitted to underreporting more than $300,000 in earnings from personal appearances, autograph sessions, memorabilia sales and horseracing/gambling winnings.

Jaguars are all in on winning the Super Bowl after completing three trades in one day to make a title push
The Jacksonville Jaguars believe they can win the Super Bowl this season and on Monday they made, count 'em, three trades to upgrade their defense at a significant cost of draft picks just ahead of the NFL trade deadline.
The Jaguars acquired defensive tackle Jordan Davis from the Philadelphia Eagles to anchor the interior of their defensive line in exchange for a 2027 first-round draft pick and a 2029 second-round draft pick.
Davis, 26, was the Eagles' 2022 first-round pick.
BEARS ACQUIRE ALL-PRO DEFENSIVE LINEMAN JEFFERY SIMMONS FROM TITANS IN BLOCKBUSTER TRADE
And, yes, that move is meant to help the Jaguars run defense, but it was part of a bigger strategy because the Jaguars spent Monday adding three defensive players, including Davis.
Jacksonville earlier on Monday acquired former Pro Bowl safety Jessie Bates from the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for a second and fifth-round draft pick.
And the team also added defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from the New Orleans Saints in exchange for a sixth-round pick.
