Kash Patel is reportedly pulling out all the stops to find out who spilled the beans about his alleged drinking habits.

Two people familiar with the matter tell MS NOW the FBI has launched a criminal leak investigation over the unflattering article in The Atlantic about Kash's alleged drinking.

MS NOW's sources say the Bureau is reportedly trying to find out who leaked info to the reporter by calling in an insider-threats unit based in Huntsville, Alabama. The sources explain this is unusual ... because insider=threat investigations are typically about classified info that's been leaked

It's usually government officials -- not reporters -- who are the ones being investigated, often for disclosing state secrets or classified documents ... and any journalists who publish sensitive info are often only considered witnesses.

Donald Trump is using Ted Turner's death to bash CNN ... saying the late media mogul lost the network in his company's merger with Time Warner, and the new owners ruined it.

POTUS took to Truth Social shortly after Turner's death to highlight the businessman -- calling him one of the greatest to ever do it.

However, Trump laments what he thinks CNN has become in recent years ... claiming Time Warner's ownership of the network "destroyed it" by turning it totally "woke."

The Texas couple found dead in a murder-suicide with their 2 young children were featured on the Food Network with Emmy-winning TV host Guy Fieri.

The bodies of Matthew Mitchell, 52, his wife, Thy Mitchell, 39, and their 8-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son were discovered Monday with fatal gunshot wounds in their upscale Houston home, according to police and published reports.

More is now being learned about Matthew and Thy. The two were well-known restaurateurs in Houston and they owned two popular bistros -- Traveler's Table and Traveler's Cart.

Traveler's Table was showcased on Guy Fieri's Food Network show, “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.” Matthew and Thy posed for a photo in 2021 with Guy when the famous TV host visited them at the restaurant. Traveler's Table also posted a Facebook video showing Guy entering the establishment.

Check out the chaos -- a performance at a concert for popular Mexican group Su Majestad La Brissa at Corner Sport Arena in Chihuahua went completely off the rails when tensions between dancers exploded into a vicious onstage brawl.

The Osceola County Sheriff's Office shared the video of the May 2 catastrophe ... which begins with the boat already sinking -- water lapping up the sides and into the craft.

As the water level rises, a few of the occupants grab life vests and jump into the water ... while others remain onboard.

Barack Obama's insisting the USA doesn't have little green men or alien spaceships locked up in an underground bunker somewhere ... but, if they ever visit Earth, he's volunteering to lead the welcoming committee.

The former POTUS once again addressed his recent comments about aliens -- when he said "They’re real, but I haven't seen them" on a podcast in February ... doubling down by telling Stephen Colbert he thought it was clear he just meant the universe is infinite, and it's likely we're not the only life in it.

Colbert cracks jokes about the former Prez knowing more than he's letting on -- comparing the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago to an alien craft -- before Obama says he needs to plug a potential future collaboration.

Seven candidates for California governor duked it out onstage during Tuesday night's debate -- and two of them got into a heated argument over immigration, with one admitting he was an Oath Keeper!

Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa got into a fiery back-and-forth with Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco while discussing undocumented immigrants committing crimes in California.

Villaraigosa, a Democrat, said if an undocumented immigrant killed someone, they should be incarcerated. But Bianco, a Republican, said it's already too late at that point, meaning the crime has already been committed.     

As they talked over each other, Villaraigosa called Bianco a "bully" and an "Oath Keeper." Bianco responded that he's "very proud" of his affiliation with the group, but later claimed he's no longer a part of it. Check out the clip. It gets pretty ugly.

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 former FedEx delivery driver who copped to kidnapping and killing a 7-year-old girl in Texas has been sentenced to death by lethal injection.

Tanner Lynn Horner learned his fate Tuesday when a Texas jury sentenced him to death.

He pleaded guilty to capital murder and aggravated kidnapping last month in the November 2022 death of Athena Strand.

The local sheriff's office tasked with investigating the Nancy 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."

A Washington woman is accused of turning a neighborhood sidewalk into her own personal racetrack ... and a child on a bike nearly paid the price.

The Spokane County Sheriff's Office alleges 56-year-old Wendy Clemente drove her silver Ford Focus up onto a Spokane sidewalk on April 28 and chased a juvenile riding a dirt bike -- coming dangerously close to hitting the child.

Watch the clip above ... the whole thing was caught on cellphone video, and it’s as wild as it sounds.

A terrible tragedy rocked Texas when a Houston man allegedly murdered his wife and their two young children before killing himself.

According to local outlets, police responded to a welfare check Monday night and found 4 people dead from apparent gunshot wounds -- a father, a mother, and their two kids.

Authorities identified the adults as Matthew and Thy Mitchell, who owned the local restaurant Traveler's Table together, according to KTRK-TV.

Multiple outlets have reported that investigators believe there's evidence that 52-year-old Matthew shot Thy and the kids before turning the gun on himself.

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 reviewed by 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.

The man who pulled a car with his penis is explaining why he went with the fiery hat on a hat for his recent stunt ... revealing he's not the first person to use his Johnson to jerk a car.

John Stephenson stopped by "TMZ Live" to talk about his recent dong-defying feat -- he pulled a car weighing two tonnes 131 feet using only his member ... and, he explained he wanted to do a truly original stunt to raise awareness about prostate cancer.

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 Patel is 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 Guthrie case 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.

"The first 48 hours of anyone's disappearance are the most critical," he said.

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.

Check it out ... the new style seems in its nascent stages, but, it certainly looks like he's letting it grow, and letting his hipster flag fly.
