One of these days, someone's going to sue Joe Scarborough for slander, and win . . . Scarborough has an ugly habit of promiscuously calling Republicans killers. This past October, Scarborough insanely said of President Trump:"Nobody's ever done so much to kill so many people. That is correct. Nobody."Move over, Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. Scarborough's crowned a new apex killer. Back at his sick shtick this morning, Scarborough's target was Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri. Said Scarborough of Hawley: "You’re the person most responsible for a police officer being beaten to death. You’re the person most responsible for the...

Many questions remain unanswered about the death of Officer Brian Sicknick after the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. The New York Times ran the headline, "He dreamed of being a police officer, then was killed by a pro-Trump mob," claiming in its report that Trump supporters killed him with a fire extinguisher. But CNN reported last week that investigators "are struggling to build a federal murder case … vexed by a lack of evidence that could prove someone caused his death."

Though a story that he had been beaten to death by a fire extinguisher had spread far and wide in the media, it turns out that an investigation found no signs of trauma on his body, nor have investigators been able to find any video of him sustaining wounds that could have taken his life. The latest theory by investigators is that he may have...

Chad Pergram: 1) From colleague David Spunt and me: Multiple sources have told Fox they are having a challenging time bringing homicide charges in connection with the death of USCP Officer Brian Sicknick. Sicknick died just after the riot. No cause of death has been given. 2) Fox was told immediately after Sicknick’s death that authorities would treat the probe as a homicide investigation.

Fallen Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick’s remains arrived at the US Capitol Tuesday night, where he laid in honor after being killed in the violent insurrection that claimed his life on Jan.6

The remains of a police officer killed when supporters of Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol last month have been taken to the building's historic rotunda to lie in honour. Brian Sicknick was on duty when rioters, angry over US president Donald Trump's election loss, stormed the building on 6 January, and was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher. He died the following day in hospital. An honour guard carried an urn with the cremated remains of the 42-year-old and a folded flag up the steps of the US Capitol. President Joe Biden travelled to the Capitol to...

The Eagle was built by the Nazis and fought for Hitler in World War Two - so how did a tall ship that once flew the swastika end up as a training vessel for new US Coast Guard cadets? Driving home along the coast of Connecticut one winter's evening, Tido Holtkamp saw a ghost. There she was - moored in the harbour, her three towering masts, draped with those familiar sails he had rigged back in the German Navy in World War Two. Her body had been repainted in the red, white and blue of the US, but her curves...
