Mom of congressional intern murdered in DC warns parents it could happen to their kids
The mother of a congressional intern who was killed in Washington, D.C., pleaded with police to find the people who killed her son, warning other parents it could happen to their kids. Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, a 21-year-old student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, was shot June 30 at around 10:28 p.m., according to police, and passed away on July 1. The Metropolitan Police Department said the shooting happened on the 1200 block of 7th Street, Northwest. A 16-year-old male and adult female were both shot but survived. No suspects are in custody, a Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Tuesday. According to investigators, several individuals exited a vehicle and began firing shots at a group of people, which included Tarpinian-Jachym. Tarpinian-Jachym wasn't the intended target of the shooting, they added. Tamara Jachym, Eric's mother, told Fox News Digital in an interview that police need to arrest the individuals responsible because "they will do it again." "This is a serious crime. A mile from the White House. This isn't a joke. And then it happened again this weekend," Jachym said, referring to a shooting in Washington, D.C., on 4th of July weekend that left 3-year-old Honesty Cheadle dead. "You know, the mayor has to get serious with this." "I think Eric felt safe. It was early at night. He was in a decent area and this happened. And it's a shame. And you know, Eric was the 85th victim and now we have an 86," she added, referring to the number of homicides in Washington, D.C., at the time. So far in 2025, 91 people have been killed in Washington, D.C. Jachym described her son as a "very kind, sweet, compassionate young man." "He was kind to everybody. He loved the animals. He loved to fish," she said. "He was just a really special boy. He really loved DC, loved to walk around the streets. He loved to walk to the Wharf and he liked to go out to eat. And he loved the people in D.C." The University of Massachusetts Amherst student was an intern for Rep. Ron Estes, R-Kan., according to a statement from his office. He was set to return for his senior year at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he majored in finance and minored in political science. "I will remember his kind heart and how he always greeted anyone who entered our office with a cheerful smile," Estes said in a statement. "We are grateful to Eric for his service to Kansas' 4th District and the country. Please join Susan and me in praying for his family and respecting their privacy during this heartbreaking time." In a statement to Fox News Digital, an FBI spokesperson said the agency is assisting the Metropolitan Police Department in the investigation. "We are aware of the incident and are assisting our law enforcement partners," the spokesperson said. The FBI and Metropolitan Police Department are offering a $40,000 reward for anyone who provides information leading to an arrest and conviction, and are encouraged to contact (202) 727-9099.

Donald Trump Files Suit Against Rupert Murdoch, Dow Jones Over Wall Street Journal's Jeffrey Epstein Story
UPDATED: Donald Trump has followed through on his threat to sue Rupert Murdoch and his media companies over the Wall Street Journal's report on a bawdy letter in his name that was included in an album given to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003. A defamation lawsuit (read it here) was filed in a Florida federal court Friday seeing damages 'not less than $10 billion' and a jury trial. It names Murdoch, Journal publisher Dow Jones, parent company News Corp and its CEO Robert Thomson and the reporters on the story, Khadeeja Safdar and Joseph Palazzolo. More from Deadline Donald Trump Says He Plans To Sue Rupert Murdoch, And The Wall Street Journal Over Jeffrey Epstein Story — Update Donald Trump Celebrates CBS' Cancellation Of Stephen Colbert's 'The Late Show' Adam Schiff Talks Of Donald Trump's "Climate Of Fear" In 'Late Show' Guest Appearance; Senate Democrats Raise Questions Of CBS Cancellation - Update Trump confirmed the filing in a Truth Social post, writing in part, 'This lawsuit is filed not only on behalf of your favorite President, ME, but also in order to continue standing up for ALL Americans who will no longer tolerate the abusive wrongdoings of the Fake News Media.' He added, 'I hope Rupert and his 'friends' are looking forward to the many hours of depositions and testimonies they will have to provide in this case.' The WSJ story published on Thursday included Trump's denials that he ever wrote the letter, as well as his legal threat. A spokesperson for the Journal said, 'We have full confidence in the rigor and accuracy of our reporting, and will vigorously defend against any lawsuit.' The WSJ report centered on a birthday album that was given to Epstein in 2003, featured collected letters from some of his friends. Among the letters was one bearing Trump's name that 'contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker,' the Journal reported, adding that a 'pair of small arcs denotes the woman's breasts, and the future president's signature is a squiggly 'Donald' below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.' The letter text included an imaginary conversation between Trump and Epstein, according to the Journal, that concluded with the line, 'A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.' In the president's lawsuit, he claimed that the reporters 'falsely pass off as fact that President Trump, in 2003, wrote, drew, and signed this letter. And on the other hand, Defendants Safdar and Palazzolo failed to attach the letter, failed to attach the alleged drawing, failed to show proof that President Trump authored or signed any such letter, and failed to explain how this purported letter was obtained. The reason for those failures is because no authentic letter or drawing exists. Defendants concocted this story to malign President Trump's character and integrity and deceptively portray him in a false light.' The Journal reported that it was Ghislaine Maxwell who collected the letters from Trump and dozens of Epstein's other associates. The story described the letter as one 'bearing Trump's name.' Trump's lawsuit stated that the letter 'does not explain whether Defendants have obtained a copy of the letter, have seen it, have had it described to them, or any other circumstances that would otherwise lend credibility to the Article.' The lawsuit claimed that Murdoch and Thomson 'authorized the publication of the Article after President Trump put them both on notice that the letter was fake and nonexistent.' In a Truth Social post on Thursday, Trump wrote that he 'told Rupert Murdoch it was a Scam, that he shouldn't print this Fake Story.' To prevail in a defamation case, Trump would have to show not only that the article's statements were false, but that they were done with malice or reckless disregard for the truth. He claimed in the lawsuit that the defendants acted with 'actual malice, oppression and fraud in that they were aware at the time of the falsity of the publication and thus, made said publications in bad faith, out of disdain and ill-will directed towards Plaintiff without any regard for the truth.' Trump wrote on Truth Social earlier on Friday, 'I look forward to getting Rupert Murdoch to testify in my lawsuit against him and his 'pile of garbage' newspaper, the WSJ. That will be an interesting experience!!!'
