Senator Lummis blasts Biden Administration/FBI for alleged surveillance of nine republicans in Jan. 6 Probe

News Team

WYOMING (KIFI) — Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) is speaking out after a newly released document revealed the FBI targeted the phone data of nine Republican members of Congress—including her—as part of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

The document, released Monday by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), details how the FBI targeted the legislator’s personal cell phones for “tolling data”  under the investigation codenamed “Arctic Frost.”

In a statement released yesterday, Senator Lummis denounced the action as a “blatant assault” on their constitutional rights.

“I’m absolutely appalled that the Biden administration used the FBI to spy on the private communications of Republican U.S. Senators – myself included,” said Lummis. “This was a blatant assault on our constitutional rights as elected officials and a calculated attempt to sabotage the separation of powers.

“Make no mistake: this authoritarian, unconstitutional surveillance and attack on the legislative branch under the Biden administration demands immediate investigation and prosecution. Those responsible must be held accountable, and we must ensure this abuse of power can never happen again.”

According to the released document, the FBI sought and obtained phone data for the targeted members of Congress spanning the period from January 4 through January 7, 2021.

Grassley’s investigation indicates that the data the FBI collected does not include the content of the calls, but reveals:

When and to whom a call was made.

The duration of the call.

General location data of the call.

The senators’ records were allegedly found in a Prohibited Access file within the FBI, a filing system whose existence was previously exposed by Senator Grassley’s oversight efforts.

The Arctic Frost investigation, which focused on efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, began in April 2022. Senator Grassley’s release claims the probe was initially opened by “former anti-Trump agent Timothy Thibault” before being taken over by Special Counsel Jack Smith in November 2022.

Grassley claims that whistleblowers disclosed that the FBI also acquired the government cell phones of President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence during the investigation, with “Officials in the Biden White House personally assisted the FBI” in securing those devices.

“Based on the evidence to date, Arctic Frost and related weaponization by federal law enforcement under Biden was arguably worse than Watergate,” stated Grassley in the release. “What I’ve uncovered today is disturbing and outrageous political conduct by the Biden FBI. The FBI’s actions were an unconstitutional breach, and Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel need to hold accountable those involved in this serious wrongdoing.”

The FBI targeted the following Members of Congress:Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.)Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.)Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.)Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska)Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.)Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.)Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.)Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.)Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.)

In September, House Speaker Mike Johnson appointed five Republicans to serve on the new GOP-led select subcommittee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.

Woman hopes sharing her story will help others after ex-husband charged with attempted murder, arson

    RICHFIELD, Utah (KSTU) — A man is facing numerous charges, including attempted murder, after allegedly trying to burn down his ex-wife’s home in Sevier County.

The victim spoke with FOX 13 News on Monday after the incident, which police say was the fourth similar incident.

“It was 2:30 in the morning and I woke up to crashing noise and flames inside my house,” said Katey Barney, a mom of two young children.

Barney said the fire and the person who set it were all caught on camera and helped lead to the arrest of her ex-husband. Police have now apprehended 38-year-old Delmar Barney. He is charged with arson, attempted murder and more after Katey was targeted not once or twice, but three previous times before Sunday morning’s incident — which police say she was lucky to survive.

“The first incident, I didn’t even know it had happened,” Katey said.

She said it was on Sept. 11 when a neighbor sent her a message about a fire in her yard while she was at work at a local diner.

“So I called my babysitter who was with my kids,” Katey said. “I said, ‘Can you just go look outside and see if anything’s on fire?’”

They saw a burn scar, but the fire went out on its own.

“I called the police and they came and investigated. Fire chief came down and they looked at it,” Katey said.

Katey then put up surveillance cameras and had those rolling when the next incident happened.

“I got woken up to a big loud bang and heard some scuffling,” she recalled. “I could smell gas and then smoke, seen the fire and then called 911.”

Katey contacted police again and then filed for an order of protection.

“I’m terrified it’s gonna escalate. Something worse is gonna happen. My kids were in the house!” she said.

Richfield City Police Chief Trent Lloyd spoke to FOX 13 after they released information on the arrest and multiple incidents.

“The third time, it looked like he spotted the cameras and left, and the fourth time, he didn’t care,” Lloyd said.

The video of the fourth incident showed Delmar Barney lighting a Molotov cocktail and throwing it into Katey’s bedroom window.

“It’s a miracle she’s okay. We’re lucky that no one was hurt,” the chief said.

Katey added: “Yeah, my bed was on fire, the walls were on fire, a lot of damage.”

She thanked police detectives for their work on her case and for making the arrest.

“Hopefully it won’t happen again…. can sleep a little easier closing this chapter and moving on,” she said.

The chief added: “Nobody wants that in their community, especially when they’re targeting somebody, and this was obviously that. We had video, we had shoe print evidence, and everything just came together within a 2-3 hour period.”

Katey said she spoke out to encourage other women to be safe and follow the necessary steps to alert authorities and get help.

New Horizons Crisis Center in Richfield spoke with FOX 13 about the services they offer. They serve a five-county area in central Utah: Sevier, Sanpete, Millard, Piute and Wayne. They specialize in helping victims of domestic violence, rape and sexual assault, and homelessness.

“We think that maybe shelter is a resource someone knows about, but there are so many resources that people are unaware of,” executive director Debbie Mayor said. “Financial resources, emotional resources and therapy, and things for short-term and for long-term healing.”

Supreme Court to decide if states may ban attempts to ‘convert’ gay and transgender youth

CNN Newsource

By John Fritze, CNN

(CNN) — Matt Salmon remembers getting into a circle with the other teenagers in his group therapy session and shouting obscenities at a gay boy forced to stand in the middle.

And he recalls being made to sit on the floor and hug other men because, his therapist said, his sexuality was driven by a “void” that needed to be filled with “healthy male intimacy.”

Nearly 20 years later, Salmon is still shaken by his late teenage experience with “conversion therapy,” the discredited practice that purports to “convert” gay people to heterosexuality and is the focus of a blockbuster appeal to be argued before the Supreme Court on Tuesday.

“I remember watching these boys as they’re essentially being retraumatized and just broken down,” Salmon recalled in an interview with CNN. “I’ve done a lot of healing, but those wounds are still very much present.”

Days after returning to Washington following its summer break, the Supreme Court will turn its attention to a six-year-old Colorado law that prohibits licensed counselors in the state from practicing conversion therapy on minors – one of a series of cases the 6-3 conservative court has heard, or soon will, that deal with gay and transgender young people.

Salmon is one of several victims of the practice who have submitted briefs at the Supreme Court supporting Colorado.

Just a few months ago, the Supreme Court let stand a Tennessee law that bans puberty blockers and hormone therapy for minors seeking to transition to match their gender identity. Early next year, it will hear arguments over whether states may ban transgender student athletes from playing on teams that align with their gender identity.

The high-profile cases are landing at a moment of political backlash for transgender Americans, driven in part by President Donald Trump’s second administration. They are also a product of blue- and red-state laws enacted in response to an increase in youth who identify as transgender.

Twenty-five states have enacted bans on conversion therapy, a practice that has also been denounced by the nation’s leading medical groups. Critics say that minors pressured to change their sexual orientation or gender identity are more likely to suffer from depression and have suicidal thoughts.

But the question for the Supreme Court is whether Colorado’s law goes too far, violating the First Amendment’s speech protections by dictating what counselors can discuss with clients. In a troubling sign for Colorado, the court has taken an expansive view of First Amendment protections in past cases, including when it comes to “professional speech.”

Kaley Chiles, a licensed counselor in Colorado, challenged the law on those grounds. Her “faith-informed counseling” would be “speech only” and she says her clients would voluntarily seek her services. She rejects the term “conversion therapy” and instead describes the work she hopes to do as helping clients who “have a goal to become comfortable and at peace” with their body.

“The problem is that the state has decided that my clients are not allowed to make certain goals,” Chiles told CNN in an interview. “People are struggling and suffering now because counselors like myself are not able to serve them without taking some pretty serious risks.”

Chiles could face fines up to $5,000 and lose her license if she violates the law. Since the prohibition was enacted, Chiles said she has avoided conversations with clients that may be perceived as violating the law.
And, she said, she has faced consequences for leading the legal effort, losing referrals and speaking engagements.

“But the clients who are being impacted,” she said, “they’re kids and they’re struggling.”

Defining ‘conversion therapy’

Chiles says her counseling involves conversations that begin with clients discussing their goals and religious beliefs. And she explicitly rules out “aversive techniques.” But some of her critics say it’s not entirely clear what she has mind and Chiles’ proposed methods are an issue the court’s three-justice liberal wing is almost certain to raise on Tuesday.

Colorado has argued that the way Chiles has described her approach may not even violate its law.

“When she says, ‘I want to help patients develop a better understanding of their own sexual orientation or gender identity,’ that doesn’t fall within what is banned under this law,” Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser told CNN.

“This law says you can’t pressure people to be someone they’re not,” said Weiser, a Democrat who is running for governor in the state’s election next year. “And if someone is gay, you can’t pressure them to be straight.”

But Chiles’ attorneys scoffed at that reading of the law, which they claim is a “reimagining” of language the state legislature enacted.

Chiles is represented by the religious law group Alliance Defending Freedom, a major conservative player at the court that is also working on the transgender sports case this year.

The state’s law defines conversion therapy as an effort to change a minor’s sexual orientation or gender identity, “including efforts to change behaviors or gender expressions.”

If one of her clients wanted to “reduce sexual or romantic” same-sex attraction, Chiles believes she would violate the law by helping them reach that goal.

“Colorado is simply misreading what Kaley has said,” Jim Campbell, an attorney with ADF who will argue the case at the Supreme Court, told CNN. The law, he said, is “going further and telling the families and these struggling kids that you can’t pursue these goals.”

Colorado argues that families can pursue conversion therapy, just not with a licensed counselor.

Chiles, they said, is free to give speeches, write articles and post on social media about conversion therapy. She could tell her patients about it and direct them to religious ministries. She just can’t practice it with a client because the state has deemed it ineffective and unsafe.

Transgender care

In the final weeks of its term that ended in June, a majority of justices noted that states have broad powers to regulate medicine.
The court’s 6-3 opinion in the Tennessee gender care case pointed to uncertainty about the use of puberty blockers and hormone therapy.

Over a dissent from the court’s three liberals, the conservative majority decided it would be better to defer to state lawmakers who are accountable to voters to answer such complicated questions.

Though there are consistent policy arguments in both cases, Chiles’ attorneys note one big difference: The First Amendment.

ADF relies heavily on a 2018 decision that sided with faith-based pregnancy centers in California challenging a state law that required them to disseminate information to patients about the availability of abortions. In that 5-4 opinion, written by conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, the court stressed that “professional speech,” is still entitled to First Amendment protection.

“This court has never recognized ‘professional speech’ as a separate category of speech subject to different rules,” Thomas wrote. “Speech is not unprotected merely because it is uttered by professionals.”

Three conservative justices stressed similar points when the court declined to take up the conversion therapy issue just two years ago. Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito and Thomas said they would have taken up that case.

Under a similar state law enacted in Washington, Thomas wrote that “licensed counselors cannot voice anything other than the state-approved opinion on minors with gender dysphoria without facing punishment.”

“Although the court declines to take this particular case, I have no doubt that the issue it presents will come before the court again,” he wrote at the time. “When it does, the court should do what it should have done here: grant certiorari to consider what the First Amendment requires.”

No absolutes

Salmon, an Arizona native, pushed back on the idea that licensed professionals can say whatever they want.

And he should know: Salmon today works as a psychiatrist.

“When you are operating with a license from the government to provide health services, you don’t have just carte blanche free speech to do and say what you want,” Salmon said. “You don’t have free speech to psychologically abuse children.”

Salmon came from a devoutly religious and Mormon family, with two parents who were politically active and opposed LGBTQ rights. His father, also Matt Salmon, was a Republican congressman from Arizona first elected in 1994. The dynamic supercharged an already fraught situation for Salmon, who realized he was gay when he was around 8 years old.

It took almost two years for him to walk away from the therapy, which he said had ripped his family apart.

“I just told God, ‘You know, I’ve prayed asking you to change me my entire life, and you’ve done nothing,’ ” Salmon recalls of his decision to quit. “‘And so I’m here to tell you that I think it’s okay that I’m gay, and you can tell me otherwise and, if you don’t, then I’m going to assume your silence is complicit.’”

In the years since, Salmon has largely repaired his relationship with his parents.

Salmon’s former therapist has since lost his license.

“It’s hard to say goodbye”: Idaho Falls water tower tribute block party

News Release

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — The City of Idaho Falls invites the community to come together for a celebration honoring the city’s historic water tower and welcoming the new one. The Water Tower Tribute Block Party, including a fireworks show,  will take place on Friday, October 10, from 5 to 9 p.m. in downtown Idaho Falls on Memorial Drive.

Hosted in partnership with the Idaho Falls Farmers Market and the Idaho Falls Downtown Development Corporation, the free, family-friendly event will feature:

A special night market

Music

Water tower-themed giveaways, including hats, shirts and stickers

A local artist creating a live painting of the tower for attendees to watch

A water tower-themed art project for kids

A water tower-themed photo booth

A community wall where attendees can share what they love about Idaho Falls

Remarks from community leaders

A light show on the new water tower

A fireworks show to cap off the evening

Memorial Drive will be closed to vehicle traffic from 2 to 10 p.m. on Friday, October 10, to allow for event setup, takedown, and the safety of attendees. Residents and visitors are encouraged to plan ahead, use nearby parking, and allow extra travel time while enjoying the festivities.

“For nearly nine decades, the water tower has served our community and stood as a familiar part of Idaho Falls’ skyline,” said Mayor Rebecca Casper. “While it’s hard to say goodbye to something so familiar, building a new tower was an important step to protect public safety and prepare for the city’s future. This celebration is a chance to honor our history while embracing what’s ahead.”

The old tower, built in 1937, has long served as a beloved community landmark. However, at 88 years old, it has reached the end of its service life and no longer meets current building codes or seismic requirements. The new water tower was constructed to ensure safety, reliability, and sufficient water storage to support Idaho Falls’ continued growth.

Over the past year, the City of Idaho Falls has hosted various events to honor the legacy of the original tower, including art and photo contests, community art projects, and performances celebrating its role in the city’s history. The upcoming block party will serve as the final tribute, a moment for the community to both say farewell to the old tower and celebrate the new tower.

“This will be the capstone celebration, the big finale, and the last opportunity for our community to come together in honor of the old tower and in anticipation of the new one,” said Mayor Casper. “It is both a farewell and a welcome, a chance to stand together in honor of our history while embracing our future.”

The City of Idaho Falls encourages residents and visitors to join the fun downtown and take part in this one-of-a-kind community celebration. From music and local vendors to the new tower’s dazzling light show and fireworks, the Water Tower Tribute Block Party promises to be a memorable evening for all who attend.

Idaho Fish and Game seeks tips: Poached deer carcass found wasted in Southeast Idaho

News Release

The following is a news release from Idaho Fish and Game:

EASTERN IDAHO (KIFI) — Idaho Fish and Game is seeking information regarding a white-tailed deer buck that was illegally shot and left to waste in Game Management Unit 68A in southeast Idaho sometime between Sept. 20 and Sept. 23.

The only hunts available for deer in Unit 68A are controlled archery-only hunts from Aug. 30 – Dec. 19. The buck was illegally shot with a rifle, and only the head was removed, leaving the rest of the carcass to waste. 

A member of the public found the deer on the banks of the Snake River between Blackfoot and Firth, about a half-mile south of East River Road. It is possible the deer was shot by someone from a boat on the Snake River or was dumped into the river after it was killed.

Anyone with information that may be helpful in this case is encouraged to call Senior Conservation Officer Sawyer Livesey at 208-617-0244, the Citizens Against Poaching hotline at 1-800-632-5999, or report online at idfg.idaho.gov/poacher. People providing information can remain anonymous, and information leading to charges may be eligible for a reward.

Local WIC offices told to operate as normal despite federal funding risk

Chris Nestman

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), is a program that helps lower income Americans purchase baby formula, produce and other nutritional goods. The current government shutdown means the nationally supported but state run program has not been funded for the new fiscal year, which started October 1st.

In a statement issued just as the federal shutdown began, the National WIC Association (NWA) expressed concern their finances would deplete soon, if they weren’t funded by the government.

The full statement can be found HERE, but one key paragraph states: “As we head into a partial federal government shutdown, NWA anticipates that WIC has enough funding on hand to remain open for the short term—likely one to two weeks. The timing of this shutdown at the start of the new fiscal year puts WIC at risk of rapidly running out of funds. This failure needlessly jeopardizes the health and nutrition of millions of pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and young children who rely on WIC.”

Local News 8 reached out to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, which is over the WIC program, to see what they’re current funding status was and if they had the means to continue normal operation. We were unable to get a response in time for this story. The National WIC program generally funds state programs in lump sums, meaning it is possible the state could have extra money to support the program for a time without federal support. We are will update this story when we get a response.

Local News 8 was able to talk to representatives from local offices in eastern Idaho. They were unable to comment directly about the financial situation. However, they’ve been told to operate as normal, despite the funding issues at the national level.

“From the local area WIC offices, we are open and operating as normal,” said Kami Christensen, a WIC representative from Preston. “Of course, that does depend on funding. But for now, if we are able to, [we] operate as normal and function as usual.”

Christensen says that if something does change, they will notify WIC users and pivot as needed, but says those that qualify and need WIC’s services shouldn’t back away from getting help.

“I would just encourage participants to keep your appointments as scheduled,” said Christensen. “We’re here, we’re ready to see you, and ready to help with any needs that you may have.”

Local food bank leaders say they hope programs like WIC are funded soon. They say a shutdown of federal programs like WIC, even if its temporary, would force a lot of families to make hard choices.

“We’re actually really worried about it, about any food program of ending or running out of funding,” said Ariel Jackson, the Executive Director of the Community Food Basket in Idaho Falls. “The charitable food system can’t absorb everyone who is getting assistance on these programs.”

Family Services Alliance provides help for domestic violence victims in Southeast Idaho

Maile Sipraseuth

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI)– Domestic violence and abuse continues to be an issue around the world, but in Southeast Idaho, resources are available. Sarah O’Bannion is the executive director of family services in Pocatello and explained the signs of domestic violence

She defines domestic violence as “any behavior that is meant to scare someone or is aggressive in nature, something that is trying to get power over another person. And so that can look like anything from coercive behavior to threatening behavior to physical harm, like hitting or kicking or strangling.”

Signs of someone being an abuser can be telling, but O’Bannion says abusers rarely show signs of violence at the start of the relationship.

“We see things like a lot of jealousy, threatening behavior, doing things that bother you, like think about the fact that you live in the home, often with the person who is harming you,” O’Bannon said, “Many people who use power and control mask their behavior to people outside of their home. So sometimes you will think, ‘oh my goodness, this is the nicest person in the entire world, they’re a rock star in the office,’ They’re a great person to hang out with, but they’re also harming their partner at home.”

There are also telling signs that someone close to you may be experiencing domestic abuse.

“A couple other things that we often see in survivors that are just trying to survive on a daily basis is a lot of isolation. Often people who use power and control stop their victims from connecting to their friends and their families and their resources and their churches and their neighborhood barbecues. We see that a lot. And then just some general changes in someone’s personality,” O’Bannion said.

To help, the best way you can be there for the victim is to understand and have compassion.

“When you are concerned about a friend or family member, I think the one thing that you can really do for that person is to love them. You can really love them and believe them. When someone comes to you and they’re willing to share those really difficult things, those, things that feel embarrassing and have been a secret. Sometimes when you are able to listen without judgment, that can be incredibly empowering and incredibly healing,” O’Bannion said. 

There are always resources available, if you are in immediate danger, call 911.

The Family Services Alliance also provides free and confidential help for victims. They can assist you with housing, emotional support and court matters.

They will also host a free pumpkin decorating event to raise awareness against domestic violence, which will be on Oct. 27, 2025 from 4:00-5:30 P.M. at the OK Ward Park in Pocatello, Idaho.

The Family Services Alliance’s 24 hour hotline is 251-HELP, or (208)-251-1435.
