Texts surface as Hooker in Bahamas disappearance faces questions

CBS News reviewed text messages between Brian Hooker and a friend after Lynette Hooker disappeared on a dusk-bound boat trip in the Bahamas. In them, Brian said winds pushed them apart and that he spent hours paddling to safety, while investigators say he arrived in Marsh Harbor and Lynette remains missing; he denies wrongdoing and authorities have detained him for questioning with no charges yet. Family and friends question the timeline and the consistency of his account with public reports as the investigation continues.

Ye Allegedly Made Worker Live at Malibu Demolition Site

In a Los Angeles civil trial over injuries from the Malibu mansion demolition, Tony Saxon testified that Kanye West ordered him to live at the construction site around the clock, woke him at 3–4 a.m., and added 24/7 security duties while overseeing gutting of the Tadao Ando–designed home bought for $57.3 million. Saxon showed jurors text messages with Ye detailing updates, budgets, and a low-profile, permitless approach to the project; Ye’s team claims Saxon was an unlicensed contractor. The case, part of a wave of employee lawsuits, is set to continue with Ye and Bianca Censori expected to testify over the next two weeks.

Gonzales defies resignation calls amid alleged staffer affair and related death

Texas Republican Tony Gonzales refused to resign amid Republican pressure over allegations that he pressured a former staffer into a sexual relationship, with explicit texts cited; the staffer, Regina Santos-Aviles, died by suicide in 2023. GOP colleagues urged resignation, while House Speaker Mike Johnson said the accusations must be taken seriously but did not call for him to quit. Gonzales denies the affair, claims he’s being blackmailed, and says full facts will emerge as investigations proceed, adding turmoil to his re-election bid in a competitive Republican primary.

Judge Orders Public Release of Evidence in Border Patrol Shooting Case

A federal judge in Chicago ordered the public release of most evidence in the October 2025 Border Patrol shooting of Marimar Martinez, including about 40 text messages from the agent who shot her, body-camera footage, emails, FBI reports and 30 days of vehicle images from Flock cameras, with third-party redactions to be applied. The decision comes as prosecutors argued for limited disclosure and Martinez’s lawyers push back against Homeland Security’s portrayal of Martinez as a domestic terrorist, saying transparency is needed to correct misinformation surrounding the case.

Court Allows Public Release of Border Patrol Agent's Texts in Chicago Shooting

A federal judge in Chicago ruled that text messages from Border Patrol agent Charles Exum after he shot Marimar Martinez can be released to the public, saying they offer insight into credibility and how DHS leadership viewed the incident; the ruling also permits broader release of body-camera footage, emails, investigative reports and 911 audio, while denying some data like license-plate reader footage; Martinez’s case was dropped by prosecutors, and her team seeks to further illuminate the record to counter DHS’s domestic-terrorist labeling.
