Ted Carter, president of Ohio State University, has stepped down after acknowledging he had an inappropriate relationship, university officials confirmed.

Carter, 66, resigned over the weekend following a lengthy executive session held by the Ohio State Board of Trustees on March 7. According to a university spokesperson, the board was recently informed about the relationship by an unnamed source.

The board confronted Carter about the allegation, prompting him to admit to the relationship and offer his resignation, which trustees accepted.

In a statement, board chair John Zeiger said trustees were โ€œsurprised and disappointedโ€ by the situation and emphasized that the university takes the matter seriously.

University officials said Carter acknowledged that the relationship involved a woman who was seeking state resources to support her personal business. The woman is not affiliated with the university.

The university plans to investigate the circumstances surrounding the relationship, including questions about a business filing that listed WOSU Public Media as the address for the womanโ€™s company and whether any public resources were involved.

Reports later indicated the woman may be connected to a veterans-focused podcast called The Callout, which has been sponsored by JobsOhio. Carter has appeared on the program in past episodes.

The university has not confirmed further details about the nature of the relationship, and the investigation is ongoing.

Fisher Road Closed After Concrete Falls From I-70 Overpass in West Columbus

A section of Fisher Road in west Columbus was closed early Monday after pieces of concrete fell from an overpass along Interstate 70, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation.

Transportation officials said two large chunks of concrete and additional debris landed in the center lanes of Fisher Road in the North Hilltop area.

Authorities received a report about the falling debris around 4:31 a.m. when a caller alerted officials that pieces of the bridge were dropping onto the roadway.

ODOT closed Fisher Road underneath the overpass as a precaution while crews assess the structure. Officials said the interstate above remains safe for drivers.

Engineers are expected to inspect the bridge to determine how serious the damage may be and whether repairs are needed.

Iran has officially named Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as the countryโ€™s new supreme leader. The 56-year-old cleric takes control amid ongoing attacks by Iranโ€™s Revolutionary Guard on Israel and Gulf Arab nations.

Mojtabaโ€™s appointment consolidates hard-line control in Tehran, giving him influence over military strategy during the regional conflict. Iranโ€™s tightening grip on the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted oil shipping and sent Brent crude prices soaring above $114 per barrel.

President Donald Trump downplayed the spike in oil prices, calling it temporary, even as fears grow of further Iranian attacks on regional energy facilities.

Iranโ€™s President Vows to Expand Attacks on U.S.

Iranโ€™s president Masoud Pezeshkian warned that Iran could expand attacks against U.S. targets across the Middle East as the conflict with Israel and the United States continues to escalate.

The comments came as U.S. and Israeli airstrikes hit military and energy sites in Tehran, sending smoke across parts of the Iranian capital.

Pezeshkian said Iran would respond strongly to continued military pressure. โ€œWhen we are attacked, we have no choice but to respond,โ€ he said in a statement Sunday.

Meanwhile, regional tensions grew after Bahrain accused Iran of striking a desalination plant, raising concerns that civilian infrastructure could increasingly be targeted in the conflict.

The fighting has also spread to Lebanon, where Israel has launched strikes against the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.

Officials say the conflict has already caused heavy casualties and displaced hundreds of thousands of people across the region.

Ohio Based Ad Firm Linked to Kristi Noemโ€™s Controversial DHS Campaign

A national advertising agency based in central Ohio has been linked to a controversial federal campaign that promoted former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noemโ€™s immigration enforcement policies.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin to replace Kristi Noem as DHS secretary

According to reports, The Strategy Group, headquartered in Lewis Center, Ohio, received $226,000 connected to the Department of Homeland Securityโ€™s advertising campaign promoting stricter immigration enforcement.

The broader advertising effort reportedly cost about $220 million in taxpayer funding and featured ads showing Noem on horseback in front of Mount Rushmore warning migrants that those who break the law would face punishment.

Questions Over Campaign Spending

The campaign drew bipartisan criticism in Congress over the size of the spending and questions about whether the funds had been properly approved. At one point, Noem said the campaign had been authorized by Donald Trump, though the president later denied approving the plan.

The controversy contributed to increasing political pressure on Noem, who was ultimately removed from her role as secretary on March 5.

The arrest took place around 9:30 p.m. local time after officers from the California Highway Patrol received reports of a vehicle being driven erratically at high speed along a highway.

Police said Spears was driving a black BMW 430i southbound on U.S. Highway 101 when officers pulled her over. Authorities reported that she appeared to show signs of impairment during the stop.

The singer agreed to perform a series of field sobriety tests at the scene. After the evaluation, officers arrested her under suspicion of driving under the influence.

Spears was later taken into custody and processed at a local facility before being released in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Court Appearance Scheduled

The pop star is expected to appear at Ventura County Superior Court on May 4, where the case will be addressed. Officials say the incident remains under investigation, and results from chemical tests are still pending.

Following the arrest, her vehicle was impounded, according to jail records.

A spokesperson for Spears acknowledged the incident and said the singer intends to cooperate with authorities.

โ€œThis was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable,โ€ the representative said, adding that Spears plans to comply with the legal process.

The statement also noted that family members and loved ones are working to provide support and help her focus on her well-being.

President Donald Trump has nominated Oklahoma Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin to head the United States Department of Homeland Security, placing a close political ally in charge of the agency responsible for immigration enforcement and national security.

The appointment, announced on Trumpโ€™s social media platform Truth Social, states that Mullin will take over the role beginning March 31. He will serve as acting secretary until he receives confirmation from the United States Senate.

Mullin would replace current Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who recently faced sharp criticism from lawmakers during a congressional oversight hearing.

Following the announcement, Mullin said he was honored by the nomination but acknowledged that the confirmation process still lies ahead.

โ€œIt is an honor to be nominated,โ€ Mullin told reporters. โ€œWe have still got the nomination process.โ€

The move adds another loyal Trump supporter to the administrationโ€™s Cabinet. Mullin has consistently backed the presidentโ€™s policies, particularly efforts to strengthen immigration enforcement and border security.

DHS Under National Scrutiny

The Department of Homeland Security has faced increasing scrutiny in recent months. Secretary Noem came under criticism after a controversial incident in Minneapolis in January, when immigration officers fatally shot two U.S. citizens during an operation.

She was also questioned by lawmakers over spending decisions that included expensive advertising campaigns and the use of luxury aircraft for agency travel.

When asked whether he plans to reform DHS policies, Mullin said his goal is to ensure the agency works effectively for Americans.

โ€œI want to get the Department of Homeland Security working for the American people,โ€ he said.

Longtime Political Career

Mullin, 48, first entered Congress in 2012 when he was elected to represent eastern Oklahoma in the U.S. House of Representatives. In 2022, he won a special election to the Senate seat previously held by Jim Inhofe.

Political analyst Pat McFerron, a pollster with CHS & Associates, said the appointment was not unexpected given Mullinโ€™s relationship with Trump.

โ€œHe has a close relationship with President Trump and will be able to enact the Trump agenda successfully,โ€ McFerron said.

If Mullin is confirmed, his departure from the Senate will create an open seat in Oklahoma ahead of the 2026 election cycle. The vacancy is expected to attract both Republican and Democratic candidates.

According to investment research platform Quiver Quantitative, Mullin is also among the wealthiest members of Congress, with an estimated net worth of $66.3 million, ranking him among the top wealth holders in the legislature.

Mexican Drug Lord โ€œEl Menchoโ€ Buried in Gold Casket

The family of notorious Mexican drug trafficker Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, widely known as El Mencho, held a funeral on Monday where he was laid to rest in a gold casket.

The 59-year-old leader of the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel died after suffering injuries during a firefight in late February. The gun battle broke out when Mexican special forces attempted to capture him.

Authorities said the clash involved El Menchoโ€™s heavily armed bodyguards and security personnel sent to arrest the long-time cartel boss.

For years, El Mencho was considered one of Mexicoโ€™s most wanted criminals. The United States Department of State had offered a reward of up to $15 million for information leading to his capture.

As the founder and leader of the CJNG cartel, he oversaw one of the most powerful and violent drug trafficking groups in Mexico.

Violence Follows His Death

Following news of his death, violence erupted across parts of Mexico. Authorities reported that cartel members burned vehicles and blocked roads in at least 20 Mexican states, actions believed to be retaliation for the attempted capture.

Security forces were deployed in several areas to restore order.

Heavy Security at Funeral

El Menchoโ€™s funeral took place near Guadalajara in the state of Jalisco, a region considered a stronghold for the cartel. Members of Mexicoโ€™s National Guard were stationed throughout the area to prevent further unrest during the ceremony.

Large floral arrangements were carried into the funeral home ahead of the service. One tribute, shaped like a rooster, appeared to reference El Menchoโ€™s well-known interest in cockfighting.
