(NEW YORK) — Frank Carone, a former chief of staff to ex-New York Mayor Eric Adams, was arrested on Wednesday morning along with his brother Anthony and two others as part of a federal bribery case, sources familiar with the case told ABC News.
Carone and the others were expected to be arraigned in Brooklyn federal court on Wednesday. Their indictment remained sealed on Wednesday, so the exact charges were not immediately known.
The case centers on a city contract issued during the Adams administration, sources told ABC News.
Carone helped with Adams’ transition into office in January 2022 and served as the mayor’s chief of staff until that December, when he departed the administration. He said as he departed that it had been an “honor keeping the trains running for this administration,” according to a press release from the time.

(NEW YORK) — The FBI and New York Police Department conducted searches on Wednesday morning at various locations around the city as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged corruption at the nation’s largest police department.
The investigation is targeting current and former police executives, sources familiar with it told ABC News.
Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch issued a statement confirming the searches, saying the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau was working alongside the FBI in executing search warrants “as part of a criminal investigation being pursued by the NYPD, the FBI, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.”
“The investigation is ongoing and concerns conduct by former and current members of the NYPD,” she said.
The investigation is examining, among other things, promotions and assignments and how they were carried out, the sources said. Tisch in her statement did not identify potential suspects or charges.
“When I became Police Commissioner, I promised New Yorkers that under my leadership the NYPD would conduct itself with integrity and that there would be a thorough investigation of any claim that members of service failed to meet that standard,” Tisch said. “This investigation and our actions this morning are part of the ongoing effort to fulfill that commitment and hold the Department to its highest ideals.”
The investigation was targeting the current chief of Manhattan South, Jimmy McCarthy, who has been placed on modified duty, according to the NYPD. Another target is the department’s former chief spokesman, Tarik Sheppard, sources said.
FBI agents were spotted outside the Brooklyn home of Jeffrey Maddrey, formerly chief of Department, the highest ranking uniformed officer. It was not immediately clear whether Maddrey was a part of the investigation

(NEW YORK) — France has confirmed its first Ebola case linked to the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, officials said.
The patient is a humanitarian doctor who recently returned from the DRC and has been transferred to a specialist hospital, authorities confirmed.
French health officials say the case was detected quickly, the necessary precautions are in place and that there is no indication of local spread.
“France has specialized capabilities for managing highly transmissible infectious diseases,” France’s Ministry of Health said in a statement announcing the case. “Patients are treated in a designated healthcare facility, following strict biosafety protocols (negative pressure room, dedicated equipment and protocols). Health authorities are fully mobilized and the situation is being continuously monitored.”
“All precautionary measures, including the patient’s isolation, were taken upon his arrival in the country, with transfer to the hospital under secure conditions to prevent any risk of contamination,” the statement continued.
Officials said a thorough epidemiological investigation is underway to identify individuals who may have been in contact with the patient and that they will be contacted “without delay” by the regional health agency before undergoing 21 days of home isolation while being closely monitored the entire time.
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control has assessed the risk of infection as “low” for European residents and travelers to areas of active transmission, and “very low” for the general European population.

(NEW YORK) — Cervical cancer deaths are 49% higher for women living in poverty, a major report released on Thursday finds.
Women living in poverty were also 23% more likely to develop cervical cancer compared to those living in higher-income areas, according to the report from the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR).
“The disparities in this situation arise from an access to care issue,” Dr. Paul DiSilvestro, division director of gynecologic oncology at Women and Infants Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island, who was not involved in the report, told ABC News.
“I think we often don’t understand the pressure on women as it relates to screening. Sometimes you have to make a choice between going to work, caring for your children, putting food on the table and getting a screening test,” he added.
Cervical cancer is typically caused by a virus called human papillomavirus (HPV). The disease is now largely preventable thanks to the introduction of the HPV vaccine nearly two decades ago. Studies show the vaccine has drastically reduced mortality rates from cervical cancer.
If cervical cancer is caught early, it is usually easier to treat, according to the National Cancer Institute. However, not all women are able to get vaccinated as a teenager or get regular screenings in adulthood.
Some public health specialists say that new data suggests stark racial disparities appear to be easing, although there is still a long way to go.
In 2000, Hispanic women were 70% more likely to die of cervical cancer compared to white women, according to the AACR report. By 2024, Hispanic women were 10% more likely to die of cervical cancer, the report found.
Efforts and strategies to decrease these disparity gaps have been in effect nationally. The AACR reports that cervical screening increased by 62% after incorporation of patient navigation services.
A study in the AACR summary combined data from 20 trials done across the country, which included information about services including transportation assistance, interpreter services, home visits, patient education, scheduling assistance and individualized financial support.
It found that lay Hispanic/Latino community members who receive specialized training to provide basic health education in the community, known as promotoras, played key roles — alongside social workers, telephone counselors and social workers — in delivering these services.
Policy changes, such as Medicaid expansion, have also produced measurable increases in screening uptake among previously uninsured populations, according to the study.
Despite these efforts, patients living in poorer counties are still experiencing worse outcomes, DiSilvestro said.
“We need to do a better job of delivering the screening to the community as opposed to expecting the community to present itself to us for the screening,” he said.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends two doses of the HPV vaccine at age 11 or 12, a shot that has proven to prevent up to 90% of cervical cancer cases.
The CDC also recommends that screening pap smears start at age 21. Pap smears look for cell changes on the cervix that could develop into cervical cancer.
“I think we can’t forget that in this situation, cervical cancer screening works,” DiSilvestro said. “But it only works if we can provide it to the people.”

If there’s a naughty list at CMA Fest, Luke Bryan’s probably on it.
It’s a confession the superstar made backstage as he prepared to close out the 2026 Nissan Stadium shows earlier in June, making him the final artist to play the festival in the original home of the Tennessee Titans. In 2027, it’s set to be held in the soon-to-be-completed new stadium.
“It’s been fun through the years. I have historically taken it kinda late, but then I have been reprimanded by the city before for going too late, so we’ll keep it on the rails tonight, being the last performer on Sunday,” Luke said, before recalling a highlight.
“I think one night Randy Travis was in the audience. I think I did like six Randy Travis songs in a row to honor him. But there’s no telling,” he added, “but I’m gonna get caught up in the moment and we’ll see what happens.”
You too can see what happened during Luke’s set when the annual CMA Fest special premieres Thursday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, before its Friday arrival on Hulu.

A new episode of All the Queen’s Men season 5 premieres Wednesday, continuing the story of Marilyn “Madam” Deville, who runs an exotic nightclub in Atlanta while navigating threats to her empire and personal life. The titular “queen,” played by Eva Marcille, was shot at the end of season 4. Speaking to ABC Audio, Eva said one of the most exciting parts of returning for season 5 was continuing a storyline that put her character in an unfamiliar position.
“The way season 4 ended was that it was such a cliff-hanger where Madam was the one that was hurt,”
she explains. “Oftentimes, and in every season’s cliff-hangers, someone else is hurt, and Madam has to deal with it, and it infringes upon my empire. But to see Madam actually bleeding, to see her not able to stand on her own two feet is a lot.”
The experience has taken a toll on Madam, who has “gotten through a lot” but now finds herself “at the bottom of another [mountain].”
“The question is how was she gonna climb up this one? Especially after that hole in her chest,” Eva says.
As Madam works to overcome her latest challenge, fans can expect to see “a level of frustration, a level of confusion” from the character, though she never loses sight of who she is. “You can always expect Madam to Madam. At the end of the day, she knows who she is,” Eva says. “What happened is the big question. And what I can say, things are never as they seem.”
Season 5 marks the final one for the show, which Eva says she’s proud to have been a part of.
“To do what we did during COVID all the way through 2026, to represent the way we have and to create a world that so many have invested in, has been nothing but a pleasure,” she says.
The show streams on Paramount+.

I Prevail has announced a new single called “Paradise.”
The track is set to premiere on Friday. It will feature Amira Elfeky, who’s opening for I Prevail on select dates of their upcoming tour of the U.K. and Europe beginning in September.
Unlike in the Guns N’ Roses classic “Paradise City,” it appears that the grass is not green in I Prevail’s “Paradise.” A teaser clip for the song, posted to the band’s Instagram, includes footage of buildings collapsing and explosions of fire.
“Paradise” follows I Prevail’s 2025 album, Violent Nature, which marked their first following the departure of vocalist Brian Burkheiser. It spawned the single “Into Hell.”
I Prevail will be touring the U.S. starting in October alongside Three Days Grace.
