Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s tenure has been plagued by multiple crises from supply chain snarls to widespread commercial airline delays while he has been criticized for his handling of the issues.

Amid the many crises Buttigieg has faced, the former presidential candidate and mayor of South Bend, Indiana – who President Biden selected to lead the Transportation Department in January 2021 – has been hit with criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike. On multiple occasions, he has been accused of failing to properly address issues, being more focused on a potential future presidential bid and being absent.

“What’s happening with the railroads, airlines & the supply chain is a result of a small city mayor being made the Secretary of Transportation as a means to pad his resume for President,” Nina Turner, a senior fellow at the left-wing Institute on Race, Power and Political Economy, tweeted on Tuesday.

“Secretary Buttigeig is a prime example of failing up,” Turner added

In August, Buttigieg wrote letters to CEOs of 10 U.S. airlines, warning that he was considering taking action in response to repeated flight delays across the country stretching back months. He implored the executives to at least provide lodging and meal vouchers for travelers impacted by delays.

During the crisis, the transportation secretary forecasted that the issues facing air travel would clear up before the busy holiday travel season.

“I think it’s going to get better by the holidays,” Buttigieg said during a talk show appearance in September. “We’re really pressing the airlines to deliver better service. So many people have been delayed, been canceled, it happened to me several times this summer. And the fact is they need to be ready to service the tickets that they’re selling.”

However, over the last week Southwest, one of the largest airlines in the nation, has canceled about 15,000 flights, upending thousands of Americans’ holiday travel plans.

Buttigieg responded with harsh words for Southwest and other airlines that reported delays and cancellations during the busy holiday travel days, saying he would “hold them accountable with all tools available.” But both Democratic and Republican lawmakers criticized Buttigieg for his handling of the crisis.

“Nearly six months ago ⁦[Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and] I called for Buttigieg to implement fines & penalties on airlines for canceling flights,” Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said this week. “Why were these recommendations not followed? This mess with Southwest could have been avoided. We need bold action.”

Bipartisan state attorneys general have repeatedly called on Buttigieg to take more aggressive steps to ensure air travelers are protected. 

And while Buttigieg has spent much of his tenure addressing commercial delays, he has used government-managed private jets on at least 18 occasions since taking office. 

“Pete Buttigieg flies around on private jets while you’re stuck in an airport,” Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, tweeted Tuesday. “That’s the difference.”

“[Buttigieg] says he is working on the airline crisis, but flies on taxpayer funded private jets,” the House Judiciary Committee GOP added in a tweet of its own Wednesday.

In addition, Buttigieg has been slammed for his handling of the supply chain crisis in 2021. Throughout the second half of the year, ships were forced to wait off the coast of California due to onshore logjams, as a trucker shortage slowed transportation and rail yards faced massive clogs.

The crisis led to shortages of household items like toilet paper, raw materials needed for construction and critical tech components like semiconductors. The shortages in turn led to higher prices for consumers.

Buttigieg, though, blamed the crisis on President Biden’s successful economic agenda during an interview in October 2021.

“Demand is up,” he told CNN at the time. “Because income is up because the president has successfully guided this economy out of the teeth of a terrifying recession.”

Buttigieg also took a multi-month paternity leave during the heart of the crisis.

And the transportation secretary recently came under fire after it was revealed he vacationed in Porto, Portugal, while his agency and the White House were locked in tense negotiations with rail worker unions to avert a strike that could have had a dire impact on the U.S. economy. The Department of Transportation said the vacation was a “long-planned personal trip.” 

“Don’t waste my tax dollars and my time with you abdicating your responsibilities,” Fox News host Emily Compagno said in response to the story on Dec. 15. “And the people who pay for it are the members of that union that got a horrible deal.”

“Unfortunately, truth is stranger than fiction here when it comes to this administration,” she continued. “The optics of this are so poor.”

Congress eventually approved a deal backed by the White House and Buttigieg to avoid the rail strike, but four unions said the deal included insufficient paid-sick leave time.

When asked about the crises that have happened on Buttigieg’s watch, a spokeswoman for the Department of Transportation said the agency was proud of its achievements over the past two years and pushed back on criticism.

“It’s no surprise to see some in Washington playing politics with every crisis, even something as serious as the impacts of a global pandemic on our transportation systems,” the spokeswoman told Fox News Digital. 

“Faced with the most complex set of transportation crises since 9/11, Secretary Buttigieg and the administration team at this Department have and will continue to focus on getting results – like the successful resolution of a backlog of ships at our ports, ordering the toughest ever financial penalties for airlines over refund violations, securing new requirements for airlines to cover expenses for stranded passengers, and of course overseeing historic investments to improve our nation’s infrastructure,” she continued.

“The rest is political noise.”

Former President Donald Trump blamed pro-life Republicans for the party’s lackluster performance in the 2022 midterm elections, rejecting any blame on Monday.

Trump faced heavy criticism following midterm elections after Trump-endorsed candidates lost key close races across the country. Many commentators argued Trump had forced the party to put up bad candidates, but Trump now argues it was the fault of staunchly pro-life Republicans.

“It wasn’t my fault that the Republicans didn’t live up to expectations in the midterms,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “It was the ‘abortion issue,’ poorly handled by many Republicans, especially those that firmly insisted on No Exceptions, even in the case of rape, incest or life of the mother, that lost large numbers of voters.”

“Also, the people that pushed so hard, for decades, against abortion, got their wish from the U.S. Supreme Court, and just plain disappeared, not to be seen again,” he added.

SUPREME COURT OVERTURNS ROE V. WADE IN LANDMARK OPINION

Trump’s attack on pro-life voters comes as support for his 2024 presidential run has plummeted in the polls. Prior to the midterms, Trump was the overwhelming favorite to be the Republican nominee, regularly winning primary polls with upward of 50% of the vote.

FIRST ON FOX: BLUEPRINT FOR 2024? DESANTIS PENS NEW BOOK

Support has surged for Trump’s perceived rivals since the midterm losses of his handpicked candidates like Herschel Walker in Georgia, Kari Lake in Arizona and Dr. Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania.

A Wall Street Journal poll of Republican primary voters found last month that Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis leads Trump by double digits for the GOP nomination.

DeSantis has not announced his intention to run but has dropped a number of hints since election day. Many of his supporters chanted, “Two more years! Two more years!” after he won re-election on November 8.

Trump faces other potential challenges from former Vice President Mike Pence and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, among others.

A controversial call during Michigan’s loss to TCU in the College Football Playoff semifinal had the wide receiver involved in the play steaming even after the game was over.

In the second quarter, it looked like the Wolverines had a touchdown in the bag on a pass from quarterback J.J. McCarthy to wide receiver Roman Wilson, who caught the ball and appeared to fall back into the end zone. However, officials determined that when Wilson went down, the ball had yet to cross the plane and ended up 1 yard short of the goal line.

McCarthy then tried to hand the ball off to Kalel Mullings but he fumbled into the end zone and the Horned Frogs recovered – more points off the board.

TCU would win the game 51-45 in one of the biggest upsets since the inception of the CFP.

GEORGIA’S KIRBY SMART ISSUES BLUNT CHALLENGE TO STETSON BENNETT AFTER THRILLING WIN: ‘HE MUST PLAY BETTER’

Wilson still appeared to be hot over the non-touchdown call after the game.

“I caught the ball and I was in the end zone,” he told the New York Post after the game. “It’s kind of some bulls— that they called that back.”

Missed calls and missed opportunities appeared to be the theme of the game. TCU defender Kee’Yon Stewart was accused of getting away with a targeting penalty on a tackle of Michigan receiver Colston Loveland late in the game as well.

“Fought our hearts out,” McCarthy said afterward. “There’s a lot of things that we could have done better. Can’t wait to watch the tape. But we’ll be back, and I promise that.”

Rolling Stone released its updated list of the 200 greatest singers of all time, with readers quickly noticing a blatant gap in the list — Celine Dion.

“These are the vocalists that have shaped history and defined our lives — from smooth operators to raw shouters, from gospel to punk, from Sinatra to Selena to SZA,” Rolling Stone editors wrote in the piece published Sunday. 

The list included Billie Eilish at No. 198, Taylor Swift at No. 102, and Bruce Springsteen at No. 77 among others. However, fans were quick to notice the Canadian singer failed to make it onto the list. 

“Like how the actual f is she NOT in the list!!? Like what were they smoking when making this list! This is an insult to music!” one Twitter user wrote. 

CELINE DION WISHES FANS ‘THE BEST OF HEALTH’ FOR CHRISTMAS AFTER REVEALING NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER

“Anyone who fails to not only mention Celine Dion, but not include her in Top 5 of greatest singers, has no business writing for a music organization. This list is full of disrespect to artists who can actually sing,” another wrote. 

Other users snubbed various artists on the list when calling out the magazine: “Celine Dion was not included on Rolling Stone’s list of the greatest singers of all time. Taylor Swift was.”

CELINE DION: QUEEN OF THE MODERN LAS VEGAS RESIDENCY

Rolling Stone explained they used “an elaborate voting process” to concrete their last list, which was published in 2008, writing that it skewed heavily towards “classic rock and singers from the Sixties and Seventies.” The magazine’s latest list was assembled by Rolling Stone staff and contributors who looked toward the last 100 years of pop music to nail down the final results. 

“Before you start scrolling (and commenting), keep in mind that this is the Greatest Singers list, not the Greatest Voices List. Talent is impressive; genius is transcendent,” the magazine wrote. 

CELINE DION’S LONG-LASTING CAREER: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE CANADIAN SINGER

Dion has yet to react to the list, with the star most recently sharing a compilation of her performing “My Heart Will Go On” over the years. 

The 54-year-old singer shared her Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS) diagnosis via Instagram early last month, explaining the neurological disorder “affects something like one in a million people.”

CELINE DION CANCELS NORTH AMERICAN TOUR OVER HEALTH ISSUE

“As you know, I’ve always been an open book. And I wasn’t ready to say anything before — but I’m ready now,” Dion said in the post. “I’ve been dealing with problems with my health for a long time. And it’s been really difficult for me to face these challenges and talk about everything that I’ve been going through.”

Dion shared her diagnosis in two videos – one in English and another in French — in which she detailed her mobility issues as well as the postponement of the European leg of her tour as she focuses on her health.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., is making a final bid to convince the right wing of his party to support his speakership on Sunday, making major concessions to the group ahead of Tuesday’s vote.

McCarthy’s central concession is allowing for any five Republican representatives to force of vote of no confidence in the Speaker. He also vowed to end the practice of proxy voting and virtual participation in hearings, requiring lawmakers to be in Washington to participate in hearings and votes.

“Just as the Speaker is elected by the whole body, we will restore the ability for any 5 members of the majority party to initiate a vote to remove the Speaker if so warranted,” he wrote in a letter to his Republican colleagues on Sunday.

“Congress was never intended for Zoom, and no longer will members be able to phone it in while attending lavish international weddings or sailing on their boat. We will meet, gather and debate in person — just as the founders envisioned,” he added.

LAUREN BOEBERT, MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE SNIPE AT EACH OTHER OVER MCCARTHY SPEAKER SUPPORT

Previous House rules, put in place by former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, required a member of the House Leadership from the majority party to initiate a vote to remove the current speaker.

ANDY BIGGS TO CHALLENGE KEVIN MCCARTHY FOR SPEAKER ON HOUSE FLOOR

McCarthy faces opposition from GOP Reps. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Paul Gosar of Arizona, Chip Roy of Texas, Dan Bishop of North Carolina, Andy Harris of Maryland and Andrew Clyde of Georgia, along with Rep.-elects Andy Ogles of Tennessee, Anna Paulina Luna of Florida and Eli Crane of Arizona, among others.

“Every single Republican in Congress knows that Kevin does not actually believe anything. He has no ideology,” wrote Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-FL, in a December op-ed for the Daily Caller. “Some conservatives are using this fact to convince themselves that he is the right leader for the moment, as McCarthy is so weak he’ll promise anything to anyone.”

“In sports, when the team loses games it is supposed to win, the coach gets fired. In business, when earnings vastly miss projections, the CEO is replaced. In Republican politics, a promotion shouldn’t be failure’s chaser,” Gaetz argued.

Lamar Odom is opening up about the downward spiral into drugs and sex addiction that cost him his marriage to Khloé Kardashian in the new Fox special “TMZ Presents: Lamar Odom: Sex, Drugs and Kardashians.”

The 43-year-old former professional basketball player candidly discussed his past substance abuse struggles, cheating scandals and tumultuous relationship with the 38-year-old reality star during a sit-down interview with TMZ founder Harvey Levin.

“Drugs, that was my girlfriend,” Odom told Levin, 72, in the trailer for the special. “I had a wife… and cocaine.”

“Khloé knew you were using, right?” Levin asked.

TMZ PRESENTS: LAMAR ODOM: SEX, DRUGS AND KARDASHIANS – FOX

“For part of our marriage, I had to tell her,” the two-time NBA champion admitted. “You can’t hide that.”

Levin noted that “The Kardashians” star, who was married to Odom from 2009 to 2016, “stood by” him.

“Behind the scenes, I put her through some s—,” Odom acknowledged. 

“The things that y’all think y’all know, it’s crazy. But the stories that y’all don’t know is like, really crazy.”

In an exclusive clip from the special obtained by Fox News Digital, Odom recounted his near-fatal overdose at a Nevada brothel in 2015.

“Lamar’s in a coma on a ventilator,” TMZ executive producer Charles Latibeaudiere recalled. “He suffers 12 strokes and six heart attacks.”

“The guy is only 35 and he is on the brink of death.”

“All my doctors that were all around me when the incident happened were like I’m a walking miracle,” Odom said.

“When I came out of it, I was never supposed to walk again or talk.”

“TMZ Presents: Lamar Odom: Sex, Drugs and Kardashians” airs Monday at 9 p.m. ET on FOX.

Here’s what to know about Lamar Odom ahead of the special.

Odom was born in South Jamaica, Queens, New York. His father Joseph was a heroin addict and was largely absent for most of Odom’s childhood. In his memoir “From Darkness to Light,” Odom wrote of his father, “I didn’t know it at the time but he was handing me a blueprint to follow and the things I hated him for, I would become.”

Odom lost his mother Cathy to colon cancer when he was 12 years old. The future pro athlete bounced between three different high schools during his teenage years. He committed to play basketball at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas before being ruled ineligible after it was found that he had accepted an amount of money exceeding $5,000 from one of the team’s boosters. 

He transferred to the University of Rhode Island for a year before entering the 1999 NBA Draft.

Odom played for the Los Angeles Clippers from 1999 to 2003. During his time with the team, he was suspended twice for violating the NBA’s anti-drug policy. After leaving the Clippers as a restricted free agent, Odom joined the Miami Heat, where he played for a year before being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.

It was during Odom’s seven-year tenure with the Lakers that he found his biggest success on the court. Odom won the NBA championship in 2009 and 2011 and was named the 2011 NBA Sixth Man of the Year. He won a bronze medal as part of the United States men’s national basketball team at the 2004 Summer Olympics and a gold medal in the 2010 FIBA Basketball World Cup.

LAMAR ODOM REVEALS WHAT HELPED HIM TREAT ADDICTIONS: ‘I’M FEELING AMAZING’

In his memoir, Odom revealed that he wore a prosthetic penis to pass a drug test so that he could compete in the Olympics.

After being traded to the Dallas Mavericks in 2011, Odom’s career began to decline. In 2012, he returned to the Clippers for a year before retiring from professional basketball in 2014.

Prior to his marriage to Kardashian, Odom was in a long-term relationship with stylist Liza Morales, with whom he had daughter Destiny, 24, and sons Lamar Jr., 20, and Jayden (2005-2006). 

In June 2006, Jayden tragically died from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) at just 6½ months old. In a 2017 interview with the New Zealand Herald, Odom recalled that he was out partying the night Jayden died. 

“I got a phone call that changed my life,” he told the outlet. “It was the summer of 2006. I had been out partying all night, and I hadn’t gone home.”

“My son Jayden was 6 months old at the time. He was at home in his crib. I should’ve been at home with him. But I was out, doing whatever.”

Odom went on to say he still thinks of Jayden every day. He explained that his devastation over his son’s death was the catalyst that plunged him into escalating cocaine abuse.

“I think everything probably picked up at that point, with the drugs.,” Odom said. “Even subconsciously. You don’t even know why you’re doing it at that point. I think subconsciously, you make yourself an addict because of the trauma that you’re going through.”

Odom and Kardashian met in August 2009 at a party hosted by the basketball star’s Lakers teammate Ron Artest. They tied the knot on Sept. 27, 2009, after only a month of dating, in a televised wedding that was featured on her family’s E! reality series “Keeping Up With Kardashians.” Odom became a household name after joining the wildly successful show following his marriage to Kardashian.

Odom and Kardashian’s popularity as a couple led them to star in their own spinoff series titled “Khloé & Lamar,” which ran for two seasons from 2011 to 2012. The two also launched a unisex fragrance “Unbreakable” during the show’s run.

Odom’s cocaine use continued during his marriage to Kardashian. Though he attempted to hide it from the Good American founder at first, he told Us Weekly in 2017 that she caught him using drugs in 2011. 

“She knew I was doing cocaine the whole time after that,” he told the outlet. “It was my drug of choice.”

“I’m not going to say she accepted it because that would be the wrong word,” he added. “Tolerated would be a better word.”

He also admitted to becoming embroiled in “multiple affairs,” explaining that his reality show fame “opened this gate up with other women who probably wouldn’t have been interested in me.”

LAMAR ODOM SLEPT WITH UP TO 6 WOMEN A WEEK, PAID FOR ‘PLENTY OF ABORTIONS’: BOOK

“That wasn’t the stand-up thing to do,” Odom admitted.

The couple’s marriage continued to deteriorate and rumors of a separation began to swirl in the summer of 2013. Odom was arrested for DUI in August of that year and later struck a plea deal in which he agreed to three years of probation.

On Dec. 13, 2013, Kardashian filed for divorce after less than four years of marriage.

In October 2015, Odom almost died from a catastrophic overdose at the Love Ranch brothel in Crystal, Nevada. He was left comatose after suffering kidney failure, multiple heart attacks and 12 strokes. At the time, Kardashian and Odom’s divorce wasn’t yet finalized and she rushed to the hospital to be by his side.

Two weeks later, Kardashian withdrew her petition for divorce. At the time, she told People magazine that the two had not reconciled but she had decided to halt the divorce so she could make medical decisions on his behalf.

“I pulled back on the divorce because there is no rush for it,” she said. “For medical decisions and a ton of other things, it’s just smarter that it’s put on hold. But that does not mean I’m back with Lamar. It’s not even in our brains to think about us having a relationship. Only time will tell.”

Odom was released from the hospital in January 2016 and Kardashian continued to aid him through his recovery. However, the “Kardashian Konfessional” author refiled for divorce in May 2016 and their divorce was finalized in 2016.

While starring on “Celebrity Big Brother” earlier this year, Odom said his failed marriage to Kardashian was the biggest mistake of his life.

“When I married Khloé, there were a lot of things I did wrong in our relationship,” Lamar said during the show’s Valentine’s Day episode in February. 

“I never intended to hurt her,” he added.

The amateur boxer, who is now six years sober, said he still wants to reconcile with his ex-wife.

“It would be a blessing to just be in her presence,” he said. “But she has the right to never want to see me again because of the things I put her through.”

“Just saying her name brightens up my day.”

In 2022, a California resident was arrested in U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s Maryland neighborhood after transporting weapons across state lines to allegedly assassinate him. This attempt followed weeks of potentially unlawful demonstrations outside the homes of the conservative justices after a leaked, draft opinion showed that Roe v. Wade would be overturned.

If this incident had happened to a Democrat-appointed justice, there would have been universal outrage from both sides of the aisle and swift passage of federal legislation to protect members of the judiciary. 

However, an attempted assassination on a Republican-appointed justice was met with almost no coverage on subsequent Sunday political shows and a delayed vote in the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives on a bill to extend greater protections to Supreme Court Justices and their families.

FBI SEARCH WARRANT APPLICATION SHOWS CHILLING ONLINE POSTINGS FROM KAVANAUGH ASSASSINATION SUSPECT

The Kavanaugh episode may be one of the most egregious against our judges in recent memory, but it is not isolated. According to the National Judicial College, “71% of judges have received an inappropriate communication related to their position, and 56% have received a threat.” 

As someone who has sued the federal government many times and been on both sides of judicial decisions in very controversial cases, I see the concerning rise in tone and rhetoric against our independent judiciary on both sides of the aisle – but especially from the left.

For example, after Judge Aileen Cannon, from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, ruled in favor of a Special Master in the case involving former-President Trump and the Biden-led Department of Justice, the left’s outrage was dangerously close to inciting violence against the American judicial system. 

We look no further than a Sept. 6 tweet from Keith Olbermann that called for Judge Cannon to be “indicted and arrested” if she did not “vacate her order for a Special Master.”

This issue is personal for my family. My wife is a federal judge, and as a member of the judiciary, she is entitled to a protected address. We could never imagine dozens of demonstrators outside of our home in a last-ditch effort to influence or intimidate her before or after one of her rulings. Judges’ families should not have to live in fear because of lawful decisions handed down from the judicial benches around this country.

WASHINGTON POST REPORT BLASTED AS ‘PROPAGANDA OPERATION’ FOR TYING PELOSI ATTACK TO ‘YEARS OF GOP DEMONIZING’

There is no room for any intimidation of our federal judiciary, and yet we have seen the Biden Department of Justice continually look the other way when Republican-appointed justices or judges are targeted for potentially illegal protests. 

The path we are on now has been forged by every tin-horn dictator and Marxist revolutionary around the world and throughout history. It has been said that where the law ends, tyranny begins. But likewise, where an independent judiciary ends, Marxism begins.

An independent judiciary is the bulwark of a functioning and representative democracy. Our Founding Fathers set up a system of government where the judicial branch interprets the law. That responsibility demands that federal judges have no fear of reprisals from any disgruntled whims and that they remain true only to the U.S. Constitution and our laws. An assault on our judiciary is an assault on our entire system of government.

This doesn’t mean that, from inception, America’s judicial branch has been perfect. Judges on the federal branch – all the way to the Supreme Court – have at times disappointed Americans with their rulings across the entire political spectrum. There are many cases that have been decided wrongly and have been reversed, or have yet to be overturned. Such is life in the Constitutional Republic in which we live. Justice may take time, but it ultimately prevails.

However, no one in public office should ever fear for their lives or livelihoods – or that of their families – for simply attempting to uphold their constitutional duties. 

That’s why, in 2021, I co-led a bipartisan coalition of attorneys general who urged Congress to pass legislation to protect the safety of federal judges and their families. I have also called on U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to enforce existing federal laws to stop attempts to intimidate Supreme Court Justices.

Yet unfortunately, this is becoming our new normal across America. The far-left has undermined our institutions and values for decades and has set its sights on coercing landmark Supreme Court opinions to sustain its radical agenda. This will not end well for the men and women who serve on our nation’s highest court, which is why Congress and the U.S. Attorney General must act immediately to prevent a catastrophic tragedy from occurring.

Everyone in our society, from the media to elected officials, should soundly and immediately condemn any attempts to subvert our democracy with intimidation tactics or violence against federal judges or Justices on the U.S. Supreme Court. Regardless of the issue being deliberate

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova revealed Monday she was diagnosed with throat and breast cancer after discovering a lump on her neck two months ago.

Navratilova, 66, told The Times she discovered an enlarged lymph node in her neck back in November and during tests it was also discovered that cancer had returned to her breast. She expressed optimism about her health status going forward.

“This double whammy is serious but still fixable,” the tennis great told the outlet. “I’m hoping for a favorable outcome. It’s going to stink for a while but I’ll fight with all I have got.”

A spokesman for Navratilova told The Times that “both these cancers are in early stage with great outcomes.” She’s not expected to travel for the Australian Open as her treatment is reportedly set to begin treatment for the cancers later this month.

Both cancers are in the early stages.

She was diagnosed with breast cancer more than a decade ago. She underwent an operation to remove the cancer cells along with radiation treatment and kept up with her exhibition tennis schedule.

Navratilova is considered to be one of the greatest tennis players of all time – up there on the Mount Rushmore list with Serena Williams, Chris Evert, Billie Jean King and Margaret Court. She was ranked No. 1 in the world for 332 and won 59 major titles across singles, doubles and mixed doubles competitions.

Notably, she won nine Wimbledon titles.

New details have emerged in the Idaho college murder investigation about the arrest of the suspected killer, 28-year-old Bryan Kohberger. 

Renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden joined “Fox & Friends” Monday to discuss how police reportedly utilized DNA to track him down weeks after the four University of Idaho students were killed. 

“To do DNA, he has to have left some DNA at the scene,” Dr. Baden told co-host Steve Doocy. “And with all the blood there… 99% of it would probably be from the victims, whereas, his DNA would only be there if he probably wore gloves, or they would have had fingerprints and cutting himself because blood is… slippery, and when you cut a stable out of people, you might cut yourself, or if one of the victims had scratched him and had it under her fingernails.”

IDAHO MURDERS TIMELINE: WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE SLAYINGS OF FOUR STUDENTS 

“So the DNA is a possibility,” he continued, emphasizing that another key component of the case is that police followed Kohberger’s white Hyundai Elantra for days. 

“That would indicate there were other things besides DNA involved,” he said. 

A source told Fox News that officials were able to link Kohberger to the crime after genetic genealogy work was performed on evidence from the crime scene. 

They also reportedly utilized cell phone data to link the 28-year-old graduate student to the scene. The process, called geofencing, allows officials to search cell phone data within certain parameters. 

“That would be… very important in a trial, but to see if that’s enough evidence to make him the murderer,” Baden said. “But what’s going to be interesting, first of all, they got to make sure he doesn’t commit suicide, so he’d be on suicide watch and going through his cell phone and other data to understand why he was tracking these three people.”

Kohberger was arrested last week in Pennsylvania in connection with the murders of Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, and Madison Mogen, 21 on November 13. 

It remains unclear why he allegedly targeted the students in the brutal attacks. 

Kohberger is wearing a suicide-prevention vest at a Pennsylvania jail and is expected to be extradited to Idaho this week.
