Three patients have been evacuated from the cruise ship at the center of the deadly hantavirus outbreak, with 8 potential cases in total now being reported by the World Health Organization (WHO).
WHO announced early Wednesday morning three suspected hantavirus case patients were evacuated from Oceanwide Expeditions' MV Hondius cruise ship to receive medical care in the Netherlands. This comes after a local leader opposed allowing the ship to dock in the Canary Islands, which is run by Spain.
Swiss authorities confirmed a case in one passenger from the MV Hondius cruise ship after he responded to an email from the ship’s operator and went to a hospital in Zurich, where he began treatment, according to WHO.
The local sheriff's office tasked with investigating theNancy Guthrie abduction is firing back at Kash Patel after the FBI director ripped them for their handling of the case.
Patel went on the "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" podcast and claimed Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos benched the FBI for the first four days of the investigation. Patel also took issue with Nanos sending critical evidence to a lab in Florida instead of the FBI lab in Quantico.
In response, the Pima County Sheriff’s Office tells TMZ … "Sheriff Nanos responded to the scene the night of the incident, providing immediate local leadership and oversight. A member of the FBI Task Force was also notified and present at that scene, working alongside our personnel. The FBI was promptly notified by both our department and the Guthrie family. While the FBI Director was not on scene, coordination with the Bureau began without delay."

The House of Representatives has used $300K of taxpayer dollars as hush money in sexual harassment allegations against former members ... newly released documents show.
Representative Nancy Mace subpoenaed the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights to hand over settlement documents ... which she says show six former members of the House of Representatives had their cases settled on taxpayers' dimes.
The Republican Congresswoman from South Carolina name-dropped them on X Monday -- along with how much their settlements allegedly cost -- writing ... "You, the American people, paid for this. Taxpayer dollars were used to silence victims of sexual harassment by Members of Congress. We said we would get you names."
This comes as part of Mace's push for more accountability of sexual misconduct cases in Congress.
According to settlement contracts reviewedby CNN ... the offices of the accused congressmen -- yes, all men -- don't actually cop to any of the allegations.
Instead, they say they're settling "to avoid the inconvenience of protracted litigation and the expense to the parties and the taxpayers of such litigation" ... at least according to one settlement CNN reviewed.
Thanks to policy changes, members haven't been able to use taxpayer dollars for settlements since 2018 ... and the House Oversight Committee said in a recent statement that they haven't "been notified of any awards or settlements relating to allegations of sexual harassment by a member" after that.
Three of the reps Mace name-dropped -- John Conyers, Blake Farenthold and Carolyn McCarthy -- are dead.

The Brit explains he -- like us -- figured pulling the car would be enough ... but, it turns out another dude's already whipped it out and yanked a whip down the street, so he needed another layer.
Stephenson immediately jumped to the idea of flames -- a pretty extreme measure -- to add his own flair to the situation ... and, the stunt will now live on forever in the One-Eyed Wonder Hall of Fame (patent pending).
Kash Patelis putting a local sheriff's office on blast -- and he's not sugarcoating it.
During a fiery sit-down on "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" released today, the FBI director went off over how the Nancy Guthriecase has been handled ... zeroing-in on the Pima County Sheriff's Department for keeping the FBI on the sidelines when it mattered most.
Check it out ... Patel says the FBI was locked out for four full days -- a delay he made clear is a huge deal in a missing-persons investigation.
Michael Jackson's former doctor's life has taken a major twist, or rather his hair has ... because he's bunching it up in a ponytail these days.
We've obtained photos of Conrad Murray -- the doctor who served two years in jail for the manslaughter of the King of Pop -- sporting his new hairdo Tuesday morning outside a diner in Sunrise, Florida.

Cinco de Mayo got spicy between Republicans and Democrats ... and not in a margarita-on-the-rocks kinda way.
The official White House account on X fired the first shot Tuesday morning ... and it wasn't a tequila shot.
