A crazed gunman shouted 'Free Palestine' after he shot and killed two Israeli embassy staff members outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington D.C. The suspect, identified as Elias Rodriguez, was pacing back and forth before allegedly opening fire on a group of four people who were standing outside the museum. Rodriguez then entered the building, where he was taken into custody. Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon described it as a 'depraved act of anti-Semitic terrorism.' He said: 'The shooting outside the event at the Jewish Museum in Washington – in which Israeli embassy employees were also...

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you. New York Attorney General Letitia James ranted to a crowd that she’s being followed on the orders of President Trump – days before reports surfaced that Trump’s Department of Justice had actually launched a criminal probe into mortgage fraud claims against her. “They got individuals coming to my house, standing outside my house. Last Sunday – church Sunday while I was in church – these individuals were in front of my house, taking pictures and then streaming it, putting it on social media,” she said during a May...

A New York budget item negotiated by Albany Democrats sets aside $10 million to cover “reasonable" private legal expenses that state employees incur in defense of actions brought by President Donald Trump's administration since Jan. 1. Although the fund is for any state employee, critics say it appears to have been set up for New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is the subject of a criminal investigation opened by the FBI and U.S Attorney’s Office in Albany on Thursday.

A report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York shows that American households are not bracing for a surge in inflation—instead, they’re growing more concerned about income, employment, and their financial outlook. The findings may bolster calls from President Trump and others for the Fed to begin cutting interest rates. According to the New York Fed’s April Survey of Consumer Expectations, short-term inflation expectations remained steady at 3.6 percent, while five-year expectations edged down to 2.7 percent. Although medium-term inflation expectations ticked up slightly to 3.2 percent—the highest since mid-2022—the overall picture does not reflect widespread inflation anxiety. What...

Nearly 100 volunteers and rescue personnel showed up on Long Island Saturday to continue the frantic search for a missing political candidate who inexplicably vanished last month. Splitting off into pairs, the volunteers set out at 7 a.m. to canvas and comb through Long Beach, where Petros Krommidas, 29, was last seen on April 23 when he went for a training swim, cops and family said. Soon after he went missing, police found the Krommidas’ locked car by the Allegria Hotel, just near the beach he had regularly visited to train for a triathlon, his family added. Krommidas – a...

New York state legislators got one step closer to legalizing assisted suicide for terminally ill people on Tuesday. The state Assembly, following nearly five hours of emotional debate, passed the controversial “Medical Aid in Dying Act” 81-67, with around 20 Democrats breaking ranks to oppose the controversial measure. “Each and every life has value,” Assemblywoman Mary Beth Walsh (R-Saratoga), one of the legislation’s opponents, said on the Assembly floor. “Progress may not be on a straight line and will look different to each of us, but this idea of giving up and dying is not excelsior, ever upward. It’s incredibly...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – America First Legal (AFL) has filed a bar complaint with the Committee on Professional Standards against New York Attorney General Letitia James. The complaint requests an investigation into allegations outlined in a recent criminal referral from the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), claiming that AG James committed mortgage fraud. On April 14, 2025, FHFA Director William J. Pulte sent a criminal referral to the U.S. Department of Justice alleging that AG James has, in multiple instances, “falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government-backed assistance” as well as “loans and more favorable loan terms.”

EXCLUSIVE: New York Attorney General Letitia James, who became President Donald Trump's nemesis after accusing him of mortgage fraud, is now battling the very same allegations, and her chief tormentor is a legendary scam artist who says he knows a crook when he sees one. Sam Antar, who kept the books for his cousin, "Crazy Eddie" Antar, while he built a New York-area consumer electronics empire, helped his late relative skim cash and inflate the value of their company before leaving investors high and dry in the late 1980s. He says he knows every trick in the fraud book and...

A former FBI analyst who resigned over the Trump administration and boasted about working on January 6 cases is running for Congress as a Democrat. John Sullivan is challenging New York Republican Rep. Michael Lawler for New York’s 17th Congressional District — and he’s wasted no time in blasting the Trump administration and invoking January 6. Sullivan worked in the bureau for almost 17 years but resigned in April over the Trump administration, according to his Substack Since leaving the bureau, he’s slammed the Trump administration and Elon Musk. Sullivan claimed President Donald Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel pose...

A former state employee who accused Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment clinched a $450,000 settlement — with taxpayers set to foot the massive bill as the former governor makes a comeback bid for New York City mayor. Charlotte Bennett, who served as an assistant to Cuomo when he was governor, officially ended a long-running lawsuit Friday against the Empire State. She is slated to receive $100,000 personally with another $350,000 earmarked for her lawyers and legal costs — all of which will be shelled out by the state. The settlement caps a bruising battle with Cuomo, including a separate federal...

Despite having billions to spend and a network of influential nonprofits, Alex Soros, son of George Soros, doesn’t have what it takes to continue his father’s decades-long impact on the worldwide political landscape. That is the conclusion of an unflattering New York Magazine profile on the 39-year-old Soros who has taken up the helm of his 94-year-old father’s “philanthropic network,” the Open Society Foundations (OSF.) “The real story is that every single person who knows the family knows that Alex was exactly the wrong person to lead the foundation,” the New York Magazine profile on Alex Soros, published Tuesday, reads,...

Just hours after The Post revealed that burglars broke into Nassau University Medical Center Chairman Matthew Bruderman’s home and stole documents tied to a federal corruption probe, the county’s top official abruptly fired him. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman — who once appeared to be aligned with Bruderman’s claims that the hospital was robbed of more than $1 billion by state and prior county leaders since 2006 — pulled the plug on his three-year tenure late Thursday. The county exec, who helped launch the federal investigation by meeting with FBI Director Kash Patel on Long Island in early April, declined...

The home of Nassau University Medical Center’s chairman was robbed Wednesday night — but the burglars apparently only stole documents tied to a bombshell FBI probe, The Post has learned. Chairman Matthew Bruderman confirmed his house in Oyster Bay was broken into just two weeks after news broke that he was “cooperating” with the FBI and Department of Justice in an investigation of his claims that the hospital was robbed by state and previous county leaders of more than $1 billion since 2006. The stolen documents were later recovered by Center Island police, who confirmed that an active investigation into...

National Guard members deployed in New York prisons have endured unacceptable treatment, including female members filmed changing clothes and exposure to noxious fumes from makeshift drug use, The Post has learned. Governor Kathy Hochul drafted in 8,200 members of the state National Guard and declared a state of emergency in February after an illegal strike by prison workers left facilities dramatically understaffed. However, after being mandated for duty, the guardsmen were badly trained and subjected to various horrors in the prison environment, according to a source. A group of eight female members stationed at the Taconic Correctional Facility in Bedford...

Long Island Rep. Laura Gillen is urging the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to hold an emergency hearing on the nationwide “surge” in deadly traffic accidents — after an unsettling investigation revealed that a serious car crash occurs every seven minutes on Long Island. “The failure to secure our roads has led to thousands of lives being cut short, families being ripped apart, and a terrible void being left in too many communities,” Gillen wrote in her letter compelling the committee to take action. The Democratic lawmaker’s campaign comes after an investigation by Newsday revealed that Long Island drivers get...

New York State Attorney General Letitia James is saying the Trump administration’s criminal referral for mortgage fraud is “baseless” but declined to give details, in a new interview. James appeared on Spectrum NY1’s “Inside City Hall” Thursday, attempting to swat down allegations from the Trump administration that she falsified real estate records in Virginia and New York. “Let me just say to all New Yorkers and to all Americans: the allegations are baseless. The allegations are nothing more than a revenge tour,” James told NY1 political anchor Errol Louis. When pressed about the amount of units in her Brooklyn home...

With New York’s state budget being almost two weeks past due, Gov. Kathy Hochul said she’ll continue “to keep up the fight” for New Yorkers. “Everyone knows what I’m standing for, and I’m not wavering on my belief that we need to make some significant reforms so we can say that this budgeting process is over,” she told NY1 political anchor Errol Louis on “Inside City Hall” Monday. The governor and state lawmakers have been at a standstill over how to spend upwards of $252 billion in a state budget since April 1. One of the points of contention in...

Elon Musk, of the Department of Government Efficiency, has asserted that his goal is to cut some $1 trillion of “waste and fraud” from annual federal spending. Skeptics of the effort say that that’s just not possible, mainly because almost half of federal spending constitutes the “entitlements” — Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and some smaller health insurance programs — and President Trump has pledged not to cut those. Add something close to $1 trillion for defense, and another close to $1 trillion for interest on the national debt, and the remainder (less than $2 trillion) doesn’t leave nearly enough room...
