Speaking under oath, Murdoch confirmed the suggestion by a Dominion lawyer that Fox was "trying to straddle the line between spewing conspiracy theories on one hand, yet calling out the fact that they are actually false on the other."
 
Asked by a Dominion attorney whether "Fox endorsed at times this false notion of a stolen election," Murdoch demurred, saying, "Not Fox, no. Not Fox. But maybe Lou Dobbs, maybe Maria [Bartiromo] as commentators."
 
The lawyer pressed on. Did Fox's Bartiromo endorse it?
 
Murdoch's reply: "Yes. C'mon."
 
Fox News host Jeanine Pirro? "I think so."
 
Then-Fox Business Network host Dobbs? "Oh, a lot."
 
Fox News prime-time star Sean Hannity? "A bit."
 
Pressed whether they endorsed the narrative of a stolen election, Murdoch finally gave in: "Yes. They endorsed."

The next day, Scott wrote to Rupert Murdoch that Fox needed to retain "the audience who loves and trusts us. ... [W]e need to make sure they know we aren[']t abandoning them." And she wrote to Lachlan Murdoch that the network would "highlight our stars and plant flags letting the viewers know we hear them and respect them."

Susan and I have concluded, after much consideration and prayer, that I will not present myself as a candidate to become President of the United States in the 2024 election.

A popular English language Pro-Russia social media account is run by a former Navy officer, according to online reports.
Donbass Devushka, whose real name is Sarah Bils, previously claimed to have been from Eastern Europe.
The account helped to spread the leaked Pentagon documents that originated on Discord *.

A social media account that spread misinformation about the war in Ukraine and pro-Russian war talking points was created by former US Navy non-commissioned officer, The Wall Street Journal confirmed in an exclusive interview.

Sarah Bils is a 37-year-old woman in Oak Harbor, Washington, who served at the US Naval Air Station on Whidbey Island until November of 2022, online Navy records show. Bils' identity was first uncovered by users on Twitter and Reddit, and first reported by an advocacy site mainly posting about the war known as Malcontent News.

Online, however, Bils goes by the name Donbass Devushka, and her account sometimes posts graphic images of the fighting, praises the brutal wing of the Russian military known as the Wagner group, and sometimes celebrates the death of Ukrainian fighters.

Bils told WSJ that 15 other people help her run the account.

The persona has a YouTube channel, a Twitter, and a Spotify podcast with tens of thousands of followers. On the podcast, Bils, who in previous posts claimed to be from Eastern Europe, appears to put on a phony accent.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Is Trying to Pardon a Man Convicted of Murdering a BLM Protester. Here's What to Know
 
The fate of an Army sergeant Daniel Perry, who was found guilty of fatally shooting a protester at a Black Lives Matter demonstration in 2020, is up in the air as the Texas pardon board reviews the conviction for a possible pardon at the governor’s request and Perry’s attorney pushes for a retrial.
 
On April 7th, Perry, a 35-year-old active duty sergeant at Fort Hood, was convicted of murder in connection with the death of Garrett Foster, 27, who was killed after Perry shot him during a protest in Austin, Texas, in July 2020. Perry claims he acted in self-defense because he feared for his life after Foster, who was carrying an assault rifle under Florida’s open carry law, allegedly made him feel threatened.
 
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott believes that Perry should be exonerated based on Texas’ stand your ground law, which allows using deadly force to defend yourself if you feel you’re in danger.

Critics have also questioned Perry’s intentions after online users identified a tweet he sent out in response to then President Donald Trump’s post ahead of his Tulsa, Oklahoma rally in 2020 about “protestors, anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes…,” saying they would not be subject to the same treatment as demonstrators in New York or Seattle. “Send them to Texas we will show them why we say don’t mess with Texas,” Perry tweeted in response, per the Texas Tribune. Perry’s attorney told the Tribune that “anyone who thinks he went to Austin with an agenda” was wrong and was taking Perry’s posts out of context.
