Feds charge 3 in $2.5b scheme to smuggle us AI tech to China using dummy servers

Federal prosecutors charged three men linked to Super Micro Computer Inc. in a sweeping scheme to smuggle billions of dollars in U.S. artificial intelligence technology to China using fake documents, shell companies and staged equipment, officials said. The defendants allegedly diverted $2.5 billion worth of AI servers — including $510 million in just a few weeks in 2025 — to China. Yih-Shyan Liaw, 71, a U.S. citizen, and Ting-Wei Sun, 44, of Taiwan, were arrested Thursday, while a third individual, Ruei-Tsang Chang, 53, also of Taiwan, remains at large. "The indictment unsealed today details alleged efforts to evade U.S. export laws through false documents, staged dummy servers to mislead inspectors, and convoluted transshipment schemes, in order to obfuscate the true destination of restricted AI technology — China," Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg said in a statement. "These chips are the product of American ingenuity, and NSD wi...

JONATHAN TURLEY: Comey loved singing Beyoncé but he might have leaked a pop secret

Former FBI Director James Comey has been called many things by critics and fans alike. However, it appears that his stab at being a pop singer did not pan out. Comey recently raised eyebrows with an account of his singing Beyoncé's "Sandcastles" to FBI officials in a classified briefing … only to be met by a stony silence. It appears that some of his agents may have viewed the occasion as grounds for intervention rather than for rendition. In fairness to the agents, they were likely unaware of Comey’s use of beaches to uncover hidden intelligence and messages. Comey has periodically popped up in the press with bizarre or self-edifying posts. However, this one left many scratching their heads. Yet, it was vintage Comey, including a surprising admission about his handling of classified information. Comey recalled the moment from a classified FBI briefing when he realized that a secret program being discussed was named after a favorite song. He wrote: JA...

Trump continues to push for release of Tina Peters as Colorado governor weighs clemency

President Donald Trump on Wednesday renewed his calls to release Tina Peters, a pro-Trump election worker who was convicted for her role in a scheme aimed at finding evidence of election fraud in the president's 2020 election loss. Peters, a former election clerk in Mesa County, Colorado, is serving a nine-year prison sentence following her August 2024 conviction on seven charges, including four felonies, related to a 2021 security breach of the county's voting systems as she sought evidence to support Trump's claims that his loss to former President Joe Biden was due to voter fraud . Trump has been pressuring Democrat Gov. Jared Polis to release Peters, 70, since he returned to the White House last year. "Free Tina Peters, a 73-year-old woman with cancer, given a nine-year death sentence in a Colorado prison by a Democrat governor, Jared Polis, and a corrupt political machine, for exposing fraud by the Democrats during the 2020 presidential election," Trump w...

Tuberville defends post likening Mamdani to 9/11 attacks: 'I just go by his rhetoric'

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., on Tuesday sought to defend his social media post comparing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's rhetoric to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Tuberville shared a post last week that juxtaposed a photo of the terror attack on the Twin Towers with an image of Mamdani, who appeared to be hosting a Ramadan Iftar event at City Hall. An account called "End Wokeness" posted the images along with a message that read, "Less than 25 years apart." "The enemy is inside the gates," Tuberville said on X in response to the image. Asked to explain his post on the social platform X, Tuberville said, "I just go by his rhetoric." GOP SENATOR EARNS DEM BACKLASH FOR 'ENEMY IS INSIDE THE GATES' COMMENT ABOUT NYC MAYOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI "He’s made a lot of statements about his stance with Islam and radical Islam, all the things that go along with what he preaches every day.

Pro-life leader criticizes 'insane' UK bill that would decriminalize certain abortions up until birth

EXCLUSIVE: The leader of an international pro-life group is criticizing a bill being considered in the United Kingdom that would protect women from criminal liability for abortions up until birth. In an interview with Fox News Digital, 40 Days for Life CEO Shawn Carney said British lawmakers are following efforts by Democrats in the U.S. in seeking to allow abortion in these instances, which he described as "absolutely absurd." "They haven't really lobbied for this," Carney said. "Typically, Europe is far more conservative on abortion than the United States. Most European countries regulate abortion to 12 weeks. England has 16. In some cases, they do late term, up to 24 weeks. But now they want abortion through all 40 weeks. And this just seems sort of out of nowhere." Carney said he fears this bill, if enacted into law, would "start an unfortunate trend throughout Europe." PRO-LIFE GROUP FINDS BIDEN-ERA FDA POLICY IS DRIVING 500 ABORTI...

SEN WICKER: Ending China’s drone dominance with a made-in-America revival

Battlefields in Ukraine and the Middle East have made one fact unmistakably clear: small drones are no longer a niche capability. They are reshaping modern warfare. Now, the militaries of the world can get persistent surveillance and precision strike options from small systems that are at once inexpensive, adaptable and producible at scale. Traditional defenses were not made to combat these drones, which can overwhelm old-school fortifications through sheer numbers.  Defense planners know this. Real-world warfare has validated wargames and live-fire exercises, showing us in real time that drones will shape future conflicts. Small drones have also become a core commercial product for both individual users and key civilian sectors, such as agriculture, energy and law enforcement.  And yet, America’s small drone industrial base is falling behind. We have not managed to make nearly enough drones. Our small drone production rate lags relative to our competitors, particularly Chi...
