EXCLUSIVE: As part of an anti-fraud crackdown that spans the entirety of the federal government, the Trump administration's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) uncovered millions of alleged fraudsters on the Affordable Care Act rolls, according to a report obtained by Fox News Digital. A Biden-era spike in Obamacare enrollments led to a probe into the veracity of millions of claims, a Trump administration official confirmed. At the beginning of Biden's term, there were 10 million people enrolled in the government's healthcare program, but that number drastically skyrocketed to 22 million at its 2024 peak. Now, the Trump administration has removed nearly three million of the fraudulent enrollees, with a planned 2.6 million left to go. The administration official said the program's massive abuse equates to about $10 billion swindled from the American taxpayer between 2021 and 2024.

A Colorado mother has been charged in connection with the death of her 16-year-old daughter, who prosecutors say drank herself to death and had 173 empty alcohol bottles hidden in her bedroom, authorities announced. Gretchen Leanne Ryan, 55, is charged with second-degree murder , according to the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office. Her daughter was identified in an obituary as Grace Elizabeth Ryan.

Progressive candidate Iván Cepeda on Wednesday conceded Colombia’s presidential election to conservative outsider Abelardo de la Espriella, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump. The concession came days after Cepeda initially refused to acknowledge defeat following preliminary results that showed de la Espriella as the apparent winner.  "At this stage of the vote count, I have decided to accept the result emerging from that process, which indicates that Abelardo de la Espriella is the new President of the Republic," Cepeda said in an address to the nation.  "I do so as an act of democratic responsibility." TRUMP SAYS COLOMBIA'S 'EL TIGRE' WILL BE A 'GREAT PRESIDENT' AS SOCIALIST OPPONENT LAUNCHES LEGAL CHALLENGE De la Espriella, a businessman and lawyer who had never previously run for office, known to his supporters as "El Tigre," defeated Senate member Iván Cepeda by one percentage point in a remarkably close election, accordin...

EXCLUSIVE: The White House slammed the "mainstream media" for citing Iranian state media reports that Tehran has no intention of honoring the nuclear inspection commitments that Vice President JD Vance says were agreed upon. Iran has agreed to "robust" inspections of its nuclear sites following the peace talks in Switzerland, according to a U.S. official. A White House official spoke to Fox News Digital on Tuesday, calling the sourcing for widespread reports from mainstream media outlets "propaganda from the Iranian regime."  "For the tireless scolding we hear from the mainstream media about their 'journalistic ethics' and 'integrity of their reporting,' you’d think they would view the misinformation flowing from Iranian state media with a high level of skepticism," a White House official told Fox News Digital.  "Instead, the American press has spent every waking hour of this negotiating process mindlessly parroting hardlin...

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, addressed her closely-watched race against scandal-plagued Democratic candidate Graham Platner , calling him the "antithesis" of the steady leadership she has provided Maine. "I never expected to have an opponent like Graham Platner," Collins said in her first national interview since Platner’s nomination. "He is very different from me. He's the antithesis of the steady leadership that I provide and Washington that has delivered real results for the state of Maine and for our nation." Platner, a military veteran and oyster farmer, has spent much of his campaign on the defensive as multiple scandals have rocked his candidacy, including a chest tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol and abuse allegations from former girlfriends. THE GROWING LIST OF CONTROVERSIES THREATENING DEMOCRAT GRAHAM PLATNER'S MAINE SENATE BID Collins’ race against Platner has become one of the most watched in the midterm cycle as top Democrats, including ...

FIFA tried to ban the pre-revolutionary Iranian flag. Iranian fans at SoFi Stadium made sure everyone saw it anyway. For the second straight World Cup match in LA, Iranian supporters openly flooded the stands with the Lion-and-Sun flag during Sunday's 0-0 draw against Belgium, completely ignoring FIFA's efforts to keep the symbol out of the tournament. According to videos and photos shared by the X account Throwback Iran, FIFA and stadium security cranked up screening measures ahead of kickoff, subjecting fans to additional security screenings to keep the banned flag out of the venue. But the effort did little to stop it.
