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!!!'

Gavin Newsom Sues Fox News For Defamation, Seeking $787 Million In Damages
UPDATED, with Fox News response: California Gov. Gavin Newsom filed a $787 million lawsuit against Fox News on Friday, seeking $787 million in damages and citing, among other things, host Jesse Watters' claim that he lied about a phone call the governor made with Donald Trump. 'No more lies,' Newsom wrote on X, announcing the lawsuit. More from Deadline Mediator In Trump's CBS Lawsuit Proposes $20 Million Settlement – Report Inside Gavin Newsom & Alex Padilla's Media Blitz Of Trump & JD Vance: 'Is He Confused Again?' Governor Mocks POTUS Sean "Diddy" Combs' Defense Insists It's All About The Benjamins In Sex-Trafficking Trial Closing Argument: "We're Here Because Of Money" The damages figure is, at the very least, symbolic. That is about the same amount that the network settled Dominion Voting Systems' lawsuit two years ago. The election systems company had sued for defamation over the network's amplification of false claims it rigged 2020 election results. Read Gavin Newsom's lawsuit against Fox News. In the lawsuit, Newsom's legal team wrote that the litigation 'concerns Fox's willingness to protect President Trump from his own false statements by smearing his political opponent Governor Newsom in a dispute over when the two last spoke during a period of national strife.' RELATED: The lawsuit concerns a call that Newsom had with Trump late on June 6, the day before the president federalized the National Guard to respond to protests following ICE raids in the Los Angeles region. Newsom opposed that move, and said that the president didn't raise the issue of the demonstrations or the National Guard in their phone call. Days later, on June 10, Trump claimed to reporters that he had spoken to Newsom 'a day ago' about the demonstrations in Los Angeles, the lawsuit noted. But Newsom quickly challenged that claim, writing in a post on X, 'There was no call. Not even a voicemail. Americans should be alarmed that a President deploying Marines onto our streets doesn't even know who he's talking to.' Per the lawsuit, Trump then reached out to Fox News anchor John Roberts with a screenshot of his call log, showing a 16-minute call on June 6/7. Roberts then wrote on X, 'President Trump just contacted me from Air Force 1 to say this: 'First call was not picked up. Second call, Gavin Picked up, we spoke for 16 minutes. I told him to, essentially, 'get his ass in gear,' and stop the Riots, which were out of control. More than anything else, this shows what a liar he is — said I never called. Here is the evidence.' RELATED: Newsom's legal team wrote that Roberts' post 'did not provide the critical fact that on June 10, President Trump had stated that he had spoken to Governor Newsom 'a day ago.' Nor did Mr. Roberts note that on June 6 — or June 7 at 1:23 am — is not 'a day ago' when one is speaking on June 10.' Roberts then went on air and 'intentionally altered how he presented President Trump's comment, stating that President Trump had said that he had called Governor Newsom 'yesterday or the other day,'' Newsom's lawsuit stated. 'Mr. Roberts chose to present a factually incorrect picture to Fox viewers to obscure President Trump's false statement of fact,' Newsom's legal team argued. On June 10, Watters played a clip of Trump's statement about the call, but removed the president saying that the call occurred 'a day ago,' per the lawsuit. RELATED: Watters told viewers, 'Newsom responded, and he said there wasn't a phone call. He said Trump never called him. Not even a voicemail, he said. But John Roberts got Trump's call logs, and it shows Trump called him late Friday night and they talked for 16 minutes. Why would Newsom lie and claim Trump never called him? Why would he do that?' As Watters spoke, the Fox News chyron read, 'Gavin Lied About Trump's Call.' 'Recognizing that President Trump was not correct, yet wanting to curry favor with the President, Fox News willfully distorted the facts,' the lawsuit claimed. 'Instead of accurately presenting President Trump's words—that he had spoken to Governor Newsom 'a day ago' —Mr. Roberts told viewers that President Trump had said that he spoke to Governor Newsom 'yesterday or the other day.' On his nightly program, Mr. Watters also purposefully presented a false picture of President Trump's statement.' RELATED: The lawsuit was filed in Delaware Superior Court, but was accompanied by a legal demand letter from Newsom's lawyers to Fox News' general counsel. They wrote that the lawsuit would be withdrawn if the network retracts the claim and issues an apology from Watters and the network. A Fox News said in response to the lawsuit, 'Gov. Newsom's transparent publicity stunt is frivolous and designed to chill free speech critical of him. We will defend this case vigorously and look forward to it being dismissed.' The network noted that Roberts made it clear that the call was from June 6-7. Roberts said, 'Now, granted, this was on Saturday. But look, there is one twenty two o'clock in the morning, which would have been ten o'clock at night, ten twenty two at night, California time. There was an outgoing call for four seconds and then there was an outgoing call for 16 minutes.' Newsom's legal team noted that the report has been 'amplified by far-right activists on social media,' and claimed that the network 'advanced this lie about Governor Newsom out of a desire to harm him politically.' 'The issue is about more than just President Trump misremembering a day or two about routine phone calls,' according to the lawsuit. 'The period of June 6 to June 10, 2025 in California was unprecedented—with the President of the United States illegally commandeering the California National Guard and deploying uniformed military onto the streets of Los Angeles over the objections of the state's governor. Every hour, every Truth Social post, and every presidential utterance mattered. History was happening in real time. It is the exact reason why reporters asked President Trump when he had last spoken to Governor Newsom. In response, he lied. And when his own 'receipts' showed that, Fox, true to form, carried his water and sought to cover up his lies by defaming Governor Newsom.' The lawsuit claimed defamation per se, and California's unfair competition law, typically used in false advertising claims. The latter claim has similarities to Trump's lawsuit against CBS over the way that 60 Minutes edited an interview with Kamala Harris, claiming that they edited the interview to make her answers sound better just weeks before the election. While a number of legal experts have called Trump's lawsuit meritless, given First Amendment protections for newsgathering, Newsom's lawsuit appeared to be a way of using Fox News commentator's words against them. The lawsuit stated, 'As Mr. Watters has himself said, when a news organization falsely presents an elected official's words to make them appear in a better light, it constitutes 'an extraordinary breach of journalistic ethics…Someone has to be fired.' The bar for Newsom's defamation claim is high: As a public figure, he must prove that the network didn't just falsely report on the call, but did so with malice toward him.
