Legacy media ignores Gabbard’s bombshell claims of Obama-era plot against Trump

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard suggested last week that intelligence was “manufactured and politicized” by the most powerful people in the Obama administration in 2016 and Americans will finally learn the truth, but legacy media outlets didn’t take the announcement particularly seriously. 

On Friday, Gabbard declassified documents revealing “overwhelming evidence” that demonstrates how, after President Donald Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, then-President Barack Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for what would be the years-long Trump–Russia collusion probe.

ABC News and NBC News failed to cover the story on-air through Sunday, according to a search of transcripts using Grabien Media.  

OBAMA ADMIN ‘MANUFACTURED’ INTELLIGENCE TO CREATE 2016 RUSSIAN ELECTION INTERFERENCE NARRATIVE, DOCUMENTS SHOW

CBS News addressed the story Sunday on “Face the Nation,” when anchor Margaret Brennan asked Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., if there is a “legal basis” for prosecution. Himes told CBS viewers that Gabbard peddled a “dangerous lie” that has no basis for prosecution. 

“When you start throwing around language like ‘treason,’ somebody will get hurt,” Himes said. “There is not a judge [in] the land that will treat this with anything other than laughter.” 

NewsBusters analyst Jorge Bonilla was stunned the story was only covered by one of the legacy Sunday public affairs programs after NBC’s “Meet the Press” and ABC’s “This Week” ignored it. 

“Rest assured, it wasn’t a bipartisan panel segment or an interview with Gabbard – but CBS’s Margaret Brennan bringing on the ranking House Intel Democrat in order to firefight the release and subsequent actions,” Bonilla wrote

TULSI GABBARD DETAILS BOMBSHELL CLAIMS OF OBAMA-ERA CABAL’S ‘TREASONOUS CONSPIRACY’ AGAINST TRUMP

CNN mentioned the Gabbard bombshell twice from the time Fox News Digital first reported the news on Friday afternoon through Monday, the first time on Saturday morning and the second time on Monday’s installment of “The Lead with Jake Tapper.”

Tapper invited Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., to bash Gabbard’s report, insisting she was trying to get back into Trump’s good graces after initial intel reports watered down the effectiveness of Trump’s airstrike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, while also trying to distract the country’s attention from the Jeffrey Epstein case. 

MSNBC, meanwhile, spent more time downplaying Gabbard’s report and similarly suggested Republicans are using it to distract from unflattering news. 

“The latest distraction comes from the national intelligence director, Tulsi Gabbard, who put out a baseless report Friday accusing the Obama administration of manufacturing intelligence that laid the groundwork for the FBI’s Russia probe into Trump,” MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin said. 

FBI LAUNCHES CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS OF JOHN BRENNAN, JAMES COMEY: DOJ SOURCES

John Brennan, Obama-era CIA director-turned-MSNBC analyst, told “Deadline: White House” host Nicolle Wallace on Monday that Gabbard’s report was “really troubling” and “very dangerous,” saying it “misrepresents in a wholesale manner what the intelligence community did” in 2016, adding that the “misrepresentations are ludicrous.” 

The New York Times ran the headline, “Gabbard Claims Obama Administration Tried to Undermine Trump in 2016” but put heavy focus on Democrats’ criticism of her report.

“Democrats denounced the effort as politically motivated, error-ridden and in contradiction with previous reviews of the assessment,” the Times wrote before citing Himes and top Democrat on the Senate Intel Committee, Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia.

The Washington Post waited until Monday evening to acknowledge Gabbard’s report, but only in a brief mention in an article about how Trump wants to “focus on anything else” as “MAGA world focuses on Epstein.”

Documents revealed that in the months leading up to the November 2016 election, the intelligence community consistently assessed that Russia was “probably not trying… to influence the election by using cyber means.”

Documents shared by Gabbard’s office claimed that before the 2016 election, there was no evidence showing Russia tried to directly alter vote counts. However, members of the intelligence community later suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to help Trump win. Gabbard argued the narrative shift was politically motivated rather than based on new findings.

“Creating this piece of manufactured intelligence that claims that Russia had helped Donald Trump get elected contradicted every other assessment that had been made previously in the months leading up to the election that said exactly the opposite, that Russia had neither the intent nor the capability to try to ‘hack the United States election,’” Gabbard told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo

“So, the effect of what President Obama and his senior national security team did was subvert the will of the American people, undermining our democratic republic and enacting what would be essentially a years-long coup against President Trump, who was duly elected by the American people.”

Evidence released by Gabbard’s office implicated Brennan, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey and former National Security Adviser Susan Rice, among others, in addition to the former president. Notably, Clapper and Brennan are now on-air analysts for CNN and MSNBC respectively.

Actor slams President Trump voters and wishes financial hardship on them

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Actor Jeff Daniels said in a new interview he hopes that Republicans who voted for President Donald Trump will lose a lot of money. 

“But when Mitch [McConnell] started stacking the courts 25 years ago, I said it on your show once, they can see it coming,” Daniels told Nicolle Wallace in an episode of her podcast “The Best People.” “The new America that is diverse and treats everyone with equality and respect and dignity, you know, kind of like Jesus did. We’re ready for that.” 

“And Mitch and company could see it coming. They were going to be the minority, so they just started and then here we are, and now you got it, and now you’re losing money,” Daniels added.

AMERICA ‘NOT SMART ENOUGH’ TO KEEP TRUMP AWAY FROM WHITE HOUSE, MSNBC ANALYST SAYS

“I hope you’re losing tons of money, those of you who thought this would be OK,” Daniels went on. “My question is, what are you guys going to do about it?” 

Wallace responded, highlighting how Trump won Michigan, and decried the president’s tariffs. 

“I mean, Michigan voted for Trump this time again,” Wallace said. “I mean, the tariffs are going to hurt your neighbors, they’re going to hurt.” 

Daniels agreed, saying that he thinks Trump’s tariffs will be what ends up damaging the 47th president the most. 

PRO-TRUMP SHOP OWNER BACKS SCHUMER ON TARIFFS: ‘THIS HAS TO BE RECTIFIED’

“Which I think, at the end of the day, that’s what’s going to do it,” Daniels said. “‘Wait a minute, the grocery bill is what? $180 more? I can’t get that car that we have to have unless I pay another $8,000. What? Who do I blame for that? Who do I see about that?’ One person.”

Wallace said the country has seen a loss of “decency” over wanting more affordable goods. 

“And I feel like some of the conversations we’ve had over the last 5-6 years were about this tug, not between right and left, but between decency and maybe if it’s about the cost of things, decency became a luxury. There’s something about decency being the sort of collateral damage, the thing we lose over wanting cheaper eggs,” she said.

“Do you think it was ever really about cheaper eggs?” Wallace asked Daniels. 

“Well, I think at the end of the day it would be about just the price of eggs, did it go up or down, because that’s what he told me he was going to lower the price of eggs or my grocery bill,” Daniels said. 

He went on to call the president a “snake oil salesman.”

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and Daniels for further comment.

Top Iranian official claims ‘Death to America’ chants are misunderstood in FOX exclusive

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Iran’s foreign minister denied the Islamic Republic is trying to assassinate President Donald Trump and other top administration officials from his first term in an exclusive interview Monday on “Special Report.”

Abbas Araghchi also denied that Iran wants to wipe Israel “off the map” and downplayed calls for “Death to America” in his first appearance on the network since the U.S. struck three of Iran’s nuclear facilities in June.

“You know, we have always said, the supreme leader and other officials in Iran have always said that ‘Death to America’ is, in fact, death to the, you know, hegemonic policies of the United States, not to the people of the United States,” Araghchi claimed. 

“Yes, there are some, perhaps, radicals, persons or groups here and there in different places, inside, outside of Iran, who may say something like what you said, but that has never been our policy, and they will never be our policy in the future.”

The senior Iranian official told Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier that it’s never been his country’s official position to try and assassinate Trump or previous administration officials following the 2020 killing of Gen. Qasem Soleimani, the former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) elite Quds Force.

TOP IRANIAN CLERIC CALLS FOR TRUMP’S EXECUTION

“This is not our policy to kill anybody outside Iran, let alone the president of another country,” Araghchi said.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced in November that the IRGC had tasked Afghan national Farhad Shakeri, 51, with surveilling and formulating a plan to kill then-President-elect Trump.

Shakeri, who was believed to still be at large in Iran at the time the complaint was released, was charged with providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization and murder-for-hire, among other charges.

The DOJ also charged a member of the IRGC in 2022 with plotting to murder former Trump national security advisor John Bolton. 

Trump said earlier this year that he’s left instructions for Iran to be “obliterated” should it succeed in any assassination attempt on his life. 

“There won’t be anything left,” he told reporters.

In response to questions about Iran’s role supporting its terror proxies and targeting Israel, Araghchi—who has served as Iran’s foreign minister for nearly a year—told “Special Report that it isn’t Tehran’s policy to eliminate Israel.

US AIRSTRIKE ON NUCLEAR FACILITIES FOLLOWS YEARS OF IRANIAN PLOTS ON AMERICAN SOIL

“This has never been Iran’s policy to wipe out Israel from the map,” he claimed.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has referred to Israel as a “cancerous tumor” that will be “uprooted and destroyed.” 

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, at a “World without Zionism” conference in 2005, repeated a phrase from Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of Iran’s Islamic revolution, that Israel “must be wiped off the map.”

Most recently, Iranian Gen. Ebrahim Jabbari said on state TV in June that Iran must “annihilate” Israel, according to a translation of the remarks by MEMRI TV, the media arm of the Middle East Media Research Institute.

Araghchi told “Special Report” that Iran remains open to indirect talks with the Trump administration following the strikes on Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow, but cautioned that Iran will not give up nuclear enrichment in any potential deal.

Secret buyer assembles massive $250M Palm Beach estate near Mar-a-Lago

In the reclusive and expensive Palm Beach, Florida, one mysterious buyer is reportedly on a mission to acquire hundreds of millions of dollars worth of real estate for what could be America’s priciest “billionaire bunker.”

“This kind of assemblage, it just signals bigger things for South Florida,” OneWorld Properties CEO Peggy Olin told Fox News Digital in reaction.

“We’re going to continue seeing these types of high-net-worth individuals just continuing to make South Florida just extremely elite and a safe place for all of them to gather,” she continued. “It’s the connectivity.”

At the end of June, The Wall Street Journal published an exclusive report that an unidentified buyer had spent around $250 million on four separate properties just north of President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.

DESANTIS PREDICTS FLORIDA PROPERTY VALUES WILL ‘SKYROCKET’ IF N.Y.C. DEM SOCIALIST NOMINEE WINS

This allegedly includes two oceanfront lots and two adjacent homes, sources familiar with the situation told the Journal.

“I haven’t heard specifically that number until it was published, but I know that there are several players touting Palm Beach and trying to make behind-closed-door offers to people in the island who create larger assemblages,” Olin said.

The two beach plots were sold in February by cosmetics heir William Lauder, but the deal wasn’t recorded in public records. The Journal reported that the deal came close to the $200 million asking price, and that the buyer’s agent – Ryan Serhant of SERHANT. – declined to identify his client.

In June, the same buyer purchased an $18 million home across the street via an unsolicited offer, followed by the $30 million house next to it. Agents familiar with the transaction additionally told the Journal that the two homes sold for “significantly” more than market value.

The Wall Street Journal analyzed incorporation records that found the inland properties sold to a Delaware-based limited liability company tied to Seattle-based lawyer Greyson Blue, who works with a law firm connected to the father of Microsoft patriarch Bill Gates.

Blue’s LinkedIn profile also showed he previously worked for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Neither Blue nor K&L Gates immediately returned Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

“The privacy, lifestyle, tax benefit, all of those are the catalyst that we’re seeing driving activity across [properties] around South Florida. So, I feel that it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s the case,” Olin said of Bill Gates potentially being the buyer.

“Like him or Ken Griffin or Jeff Bezos, all of these guys are seeing South Florida as their future,” she added. “To me, it is fantastic… not only in real estate, but all around.”

The almost-anonymous buyer has also tried for more nearby properties – the Journal claims they made an off-market offer for rockstar Jon Bon Jovi’s home next door, but the singer has been reluctant to let go of his house, which he paid $43 million for in 2020.

“They want to remain as private as possible. And I think that what it also tells me is that they want to make sure that no one else is cramping their style,” Olin said. “They want to make sure that they do everything in private so they can get what they want at the end.”

“Palm Beach, in general, is becoming one of the few places in the country where you find the billionaire bunker situation or billionaire’s row, per se. I find that they’re looking at this as more of a long-term strategic investment… When you’re talking about $100 to $250 million dollars, who knows what comes next. It’s just a lot about the caché and the ultra-elite.”

Recall effort against blue city DA takes off after alleged sex offender’s case dismissed

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A dispute over crime policies in Aurora, Colorado, has led to the recall attempt of a newly-elected district attorney. 

Aurora Councilwoman At Large Danielle Jurinsky is attempting to have Arapahoe County District Attorney Amy Padden removed from office after several high-profile instances of what she says are inadequate crime policies, including the recent dismissal of charges against Solomon Galligan, an alleged registered sex offender who is accused of trying to kidnap a child on video. 

“What has been going on over the past six months, several different things,” said Jurinsky. “She has dismissed cases that absolutely should have been prosecuted. She has given out a lot of probation for felony crimes, misdemeanor crimes, crimes that should have warranted several years in prison.”

REPUBLICAN DA BUCKS BLUE STATE’S ‘BROKEN SENTENCING’ WITH TOUGH-ON-CRIME APPROACH

Galligan, 33, faced one count of attempted kidnapping after he allegedly tried to snatch an 11-year-old boy from a playground at a local elementary school. 

Aurora police previously reported that Galligan is a registered sex offender, with his registration tied to the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office. He was found incompetent to stand trial, which in the state of Colorado, means he must be released from custody, Padden’s office told Fox News Digital earlier this month. 

“From what I understand is that I don’t know how else to put it, but that Amy Padden went shrink shopping to find someone to make sure that they would say that Solomon Galligan was not fit to stand trial,” Jurinsky, an Aurora native, military veteran and business owner told Fox News Digital. 

“My knowledge of this individual is they have been found mentally incompetent multiple times on previous criminal cases in different judicial districts outside [Arapahoe County],” Ross said. “So there is a history of documented mental illness. It’s not like this is a one-and-done where this person has never been on anyone’s radar, and they found somebody to write them a note to say that they’re mentally incompetent.”

“And instead of coming out and saying that Amy Padden is at least going to hold this individual in the state mental health hospital, she just makes a statement that charges are going to be dismissed, and this individual is going to be released,” said Jurinsky. “She is trying to now walk that back and say that Solomon is going to go to the state mental health hospital, but not giving a timeline, not giving any information.”

‘DEFUND THE POLICE’ MECCA OF MINNEAPOLIS OVERRUN WITH VIOLENCE, ‘FAILED LEADERSHIP’: FORMER AG CANDIDATE

Eric Ross is the Public Information Officer for the Arapahoe County District Attorney’s Office. 

“Regarding the Galligan case, we cannot take a case to trial when a defendant has been deemed mentally incompetent,” he told Fox News Digital. “We are required to adhere to state law which requires charges be dismissed. With that said, the defendant is being permanently committed to a mental institution.”

However, Jurinsky said Galligan’s release isn’t the only issue, noting that she’s been observing a pattern of soft-on-crime policies since Padden took office six months ago. 

“The situation with Kaitlyn Weaver, beautiful 24-year-old Aurora resident, was on her way home from work, broad daylight, was T-boned by a 15-year-old in this country illegally with two small children in the back of the van as well,” Jurinsky noted as another example. “He stole the van from his mother. Kailtyn Weaver was killed instantly.”

The unnamed teen was offered a plea deal and given probation for the crime. 

“The original charge was for vehicular homicide and the guilty plea was for Vehicular Homicide,” Ross said. “Contrary to what the general public may think, vehicular homicide charges do not carry the same penalties as first or second-degree murder.”

He said citizens can petition their elected leaders if they want “stricter penalties for these types of cases.”

As for the recall, which will be formally announced Tuesday, Padden says everything is in place.

“We have formed our committee. We have registered it with the secretary of state. It has been approved with the county clerk,” she said. “And then at that moment, we will begin raising money. We don’t need a lot of money for this effort, but we will need some to print the petition packets and probably hire some signature gatherers. And then we will be well underway. I will be the first signature on that petition, and we will be underway to getting 75,000 [signatures] out of Arapahoe County.”

DOJ OPENS PROBE AFTER LEFT-WING DA REQUIRES PROSECUTORS TO CONSIDER RACE IN PLEA DEALS

The 75,000 mark is the threshold for officially recalling Padden. Jurinsky and her supporters have 60 days to acquire the signatures. If they succeed, Padden will have five days to decide whether she will resign, or whether she will run for her seat again. 

Jurinsky said she doesn’t think garnering the signatures will be a challenge, and plans on hosting events and even going door-to-door as part of the effort. 

“If you hurt somebody in the city of Aurora, I’m an Aurora City Council member,” she said. “I need to be standing up for the people of Aurora. And that means protecting them. That means focusing on public safety. So I take on a lot of extra duties, if you will. And sometimes that’s alone. I’m OK with that.”

Ross says he’s reached out twice to Jurinsky seeking other examples of cases she believes were not handled properly, but has not heard back. 

In 2024, Aurora was also subject to a suspected Tren de Aragua gang takeover of an apartment complex, which became a rallying point for then-candidate Donald Trump’s reelection bid.

A spokesperson for the city of Aurora said neither the city nor its Mayor Mike Coffman, a former Republican congressman, have anything to do with the recall, and declined to comment further. 

Padden did not return a comment request. 

Friend recalls last text from dentist’s wife as murder trial enters second week

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Angela Craig’s lifelong best friend took the stand Monday as the Colorado murder trial of dentist James Craig entered its second week, telling jurors that the mother of six was never the kind of woman who gave up easily.

“She wasn’t a risk-taker. She wasn’t manipulative,” Nicole Harmon told the court. “And she never said anything — ever — about wanting to die.”

Dr. James Toliver Craig, 47, is charged with first-degree murder in the March 2023 death of his wife, 43-year-old Angela Craig. Her cause of death was determined to be lethal doses of cyanide and tetrahydrozoline.

DENTIST ACCUSED OF POISONING WIFE’S SHAKE SAID HE GAVE HER ‘TOO MUCH PROTEIN’: CO-WORKER

On March 9, 2023, approximately one week before the 43-year-old was pronounced brain-dead, Angela texted Harmon asking for help checking her blood sugar. When she arrived, she found Angela curled up.

“She hadn’t eaten. She couldn’t stand,” Harmon said, telling the jury that James had made his wife a shake that morning.

When the friend texted and asked what was going on, she testified, James brushed it off.

“Post-COVID,” he texted. “Not diabetes.”

Not once, she told jurors, did he mention poison.

“Angela never knew what was killing her,” the witness said. Harmon shared that she and her husband, Mike, had known the Craigs since the 2000s. 

Angela was hospitalized for five days. Through Angela’s prolonged hospital stays, Harmon said that she never expressed that she wanted to die.

FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X

Harmon’s testimony went back to 2019, when the witness said James made a confession to her and her husband.

He told them in 2019 that he planned to inject himself with a lethal substance and had drugged Angela first so she wouldn’t stop him. 

David Gelman, a criminal defense attorney who has been following the case, told Fox News Digital that the drugging incident could help the prosecution “because it shows that James was predisposed to drugging Angela before.”

“It required intent and thought. The same motive that the prosecution has now for James,” he said. “That is an aspect I would really hammer if I’m the prosecution.”

James also admitted to the Harmons that he, in 2019, was dealing with a “sexual addiction,” and told them that he was in therapy, she testified.

Angela, her friend said, never brought it up. Harmon testified that she sent Angela a message later: “I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were dealing with this.”

Angela replied: “You weren’t there when I needed you.”

COLORADO DENTIST’S ALLEGED INTERNET SEARCH HISTORY TAKES CENTER STAGE AS MURDER TRIAL BEGINS

From that moment, the decades-long friendship fractured

“She was angry,” Harmon said. “Really mad at her life and how it was turning out. And I was OK with that. I was OK with her taking it out on me.”

Gelman said the years-long gap in communication between Angela and her best friend doesn’t undermine the witness’s reliability.

“It doesn’t hurt her credibility. She can only testify by what she has observed and her conversations with Angela,” he said. “Obviously, she is not privy to the inner workings of the marriage with James since the relationship fractured, but her credibility is still intact since she was not confused or crossed up on the stand.”

The longtime friend testified that Angela never opened up about the inner workings of her marriage.

“She had all the chances,” the witness said. “She never told me. She didn’t want me to see her husband differently.”

Investigators alleged in court documents obtained by Fox News Digital that, in the weeks before his wife’s hospitalization and death, James used a dental office computer to search for “undetectable poisons” and how to obtain them (later purchasing arsenic and cyanide by mail), “how many grams of pure arsenic will kill a human” and “is arsenic detectable in an autopsy?”

Alongside these online searches, investigators alleged he made YouTube queries such as “how to make poison” and “Top 5 Undetectable Poisons That Show No Signs of Foul Play.”

Man’s deadly brain cancer tumor disappears after experimental drug trial

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A man with the deadliest form of brain cancer has no signs of the disease after taking an experimental drug.

Ben Trotman was 40 when he was diagnosed in 2022 with glioblastoma, the most aggressive cancerous brain tumor. Patients typically live an average of 15 months after diagnosis, and the five-year survival rate is just 6.9%.

Trotman was referred to The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery at University College London Hospitals (UCLH), where he was treated by consultant UCLH medical oncologist Dr. Paul Mulholland, as detailed in a press release.

ANCIENT ‘PHARAOH’S CURSE’ FUNGUS SHOWS PROMISE IN KILLING CANCER CELLS

As the only person enrolled in a trial that ultimately closed due to lack of patients, Trotman received a medication called ipilimumab, a targeted immunotherapy treatment.

Ipilimumab is an antibody that binds to a protein on immune cells (T cells). It keeps cancer cells from suppressing the immune system so it can then attack and kill the cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute.

Trotman also received radiation and chemotherapy. 

More than two years later, his quarterly scans show no signs of cancer.

“It is very unusual to have a clear scan with glioblastoma, especially when he didn’t have the follow-up surgery that had been planned to remove all of the tumor that was initially visible on scans,” his oncologist, Mulholland, said in the release. 

“We felt we had a lucky break in an otherwise devastating situation.”

“We hope that the immunotherapy and follow-up treatment Ben has had will hold his tumor at bay — and it has so far, which we are delighted to see.”

Two months after receiving the ipilimumab, Trotman married his wife, Emily. In April 2025, they welcomed their daughter, Mabel.

“Getting this diagnosis was the most traumatic experience — we were grappling with the fact that Ben had gone from being apparently perfectly healthy to having months to live,” Emily Trotman said in the release.

“Had we not met Dr. Mulholland, that would have been it for us. We felt we had a lucky break in an otherwise devastating situation.”

Ben Trotman added, “We obviously don’t know what the future holds, but having had the immunotherapy treatment and getting these encouraging scan results has given [us] a bit of hope.”

“We are focused on rebuilding the life we thought we had lost and enjoying being parents.”

Mulholland and his team have now opened another clinical trial for patients who have been newly diagnosed with glioblastoma.

Sixteen patients will be recruited for the trial, which is sponsored by UCL. 

The treatment will be administered at the NIHR UCLH’s Clinical Research Facility and the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, according to the press release.

The patients will receive ipilimumab before proceeding to standard treatments that may include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

“The crucial element of this trial is that patients will have their immune system boosted by the drug before they have any other treatment, when they are fit and well enough to tolerate the immunotherapy,” Mulholland said in the release.

The Win-Glio trial — nicknamed “Margaret’s Trial” — is funded by the efforts of Dame Siobhain McDonagh, sister of Margaret McDonagh, a London woman who died of glioblastoma in 2023 and was treated by Mulholland.

Ben Trotman said he is “delighted” that the new trial is moving forward with the same immunotherapy drug he received. 

“It will give people newly diagnosed with glioblastoma some hope.”

Warner co-hosted the “Not All Hood” podcast with Candace Kelly, a platform where different lived experiences were discussed from within the Black community.

“We’re heartbroken by the unexpected passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner,” the Fanbase network said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. “On Fanbase, he showed us what it means to be a creator with purpose, Malcolm brought intention, integrity, and brilliance wherever he was. His legacy runs deep and we were honored to witness it. His voice as a Black man in America shaped generations and reminded creators everywhere of the power of speaking truth through their work.The Fanbase community joins the world in mourning his loss and honoring the impact he had on culture. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all those who were inspired by his light.”

Warner was swimming Sunday at Playa Grande de Cocles in the Limon province when a current pulled him into deeper waters, Costa Rica’s Judicial Investigation Department claimed.

“He was rescued by people on the beach,” an initial report stated, but first responders could not revive the actor. 

Warner gained fame as the son of Heathcliff Huxtable, played by Bill Cosby, on “The Cosby Show” from 1984 to 1992. He appeared in all 197 episodes of the NBC sitcom.

In 1986, Warner earned an Emmy nomination for best supporting actor in a comedy.

The show’s legacy was tarnished after Cosby was accused of sexual assault. Cosby’s 2018 conviction was overturned in 2021. Since then, five more women have come forward with accusations against the comedian.

Despite the controversy, Warner was still proud of the show.

“Regardless of how some people may feel about the show now, I’m still proud of the legacy and having been a part of such an iconic show that had such a profound impact on – first and foremost, Black culture – but also American culture,” Warner told People magazine in 2023.
