I’m happy to share I won three Emmys last night, including one for Daily News Reporter! Thank you to my wife and family, God, our loyal viewers, my sources, my team at WJLA, and the judges! More information on the Emmy wins: 🏆 Talent: Reporter - Daily News ⁃Stories that were judged: My coverage of Loudoun County Public Schools and Superintendent Aaron Spence and how Spence handled student overdoses, my coverage on the Fairfax County and Loudoun County Board of Supervisors, and my coverage on Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano. 🏆 Politics/Government News ⁃Stories that were judged: “Uncovering Local Politicians' Lavish International Travel” My reporting showed viewers how Loudoun County Chair Phyllis Randall and Supervisors Juli Briskman, Koran Saines, and Sylvia Glass spent tax dollars on lavish trips. My reporting also showed how the elected officials spent their time during taxpayer funded trips. 🏆 Business/Consumer News ⁃Stories that were judged: “Exposing Bogus Job Claims from Elected Officials” Loudoun County Chair Phyllis Randall claimed her lavish taxpayer funded international sister city trips brought a significant amount of jobs and investments to Loudoun County. My reporting showed viewers that was not true.

🚨New: The U.S. House Judiciary Committee said it found 100+ previously unreported criminal illegal immigrants who benefited from Steve Descano’s “repeated refusal to prosecute." And from 2023-25, the committee says Fairfax Sheriff Stacey Kincaid declined at least 1,670 ICE detainers. wjla.com/news/local/house-re…

🚨WATCH: Fairfax County Executive Bryan Hill was stopped by a police officer and pulled the “don’t you know who I am” card. I obtained the police body worn camera video and emails related to the stop in a FOIA. On Friday, Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis came to the officer’s defense in an email to the Deputy County Executive:   “Per our conversation, please see the below link to the traffic stop this afternoon involving County Executive Bryan Hill. County Executive Hill called me during and after the traffic stop and relayed the following:   “There’s a lot going on, but if this is what you guys want to do…” “My front tag is on my dashboard…” “I don’t mind him doing his job, but he was disrespectful. That’s my issue.” “He had no idea who I was…” “If I had a badge, he would’ve let me go.”   As you watch the BWC, you will hear the County Executive say the following to our officer:   “Did you hear who I told you I am?”   I told the County Executive that the requirement to have a front license plate affixed to the front of a car is a Commonwealth statute, and not a Fairfax County rule. I also told him his allegation the officer was “disrespectful” is something I will review immediately and take seriously.   I have reviewed the BWC in its entirety. The young officer was 100% professional, cordial, and polite at all times. There will be no internal action taken against the officer whatsoever.   I called the officer on his cell afterwards and told he performed in an exemplary manner consistent with our expectations and training. In short, he did a great job under a tough circumstance that was not created by him.”   Deputy County Executive Thomas Arnold replied, “My apologies for the behaviors of the County Executive. I will review this tonight and then have a follow-up with him and discuss an apology for both you and the officer. Circle back with you soon.”

WATCH: Clarke County residents fought a massive proposed transmission line through the middle of their county and won. According to Dominion Energy/Valley Link, the electric companies are no longer considering building a 765 kV transmission line through the middle of the county to help power data centers in Northern Virginia. But the companies still want to build a 260-mile-long transmission line through Frederick County, Virginia, Loudoun County, Frederick County, Maryland and West Virginia.

New: A jury found 19-year-old Hadyn Dollery, a Loudoun County substitute teacher at John Champe High School, guilty of three counts of making written threats and one count of threatening a school. He was acquitted of one count of making a written threat. According to a criminal complaint and recent indictments, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office received a report on April 16 regarding written threats Dollery allegedly sent to a friend via Discord. The messages—directed at family and friends—referenced a "murder spree" and a "kill list," resulting in charges for threatening a school shooting and threatening to bomb or destroy a building.

A Democrat who watched this story texted me this: “In light of the mess at Cornell, the timing of the rapist parole story was especially striking. Many women are livid over what happened to Jane Doe and your story is a reminder to many of us that women's safety is not a priority. Spanberger's reckless pro-parole policies make me think she has less of a grip on reality than NY Governor Hochul.”

Stafford County, Virginia postponed a data center project public hearing after county staff urged the county to deny the massive data center applications wjla.com/news/local/stafford…

A rape survivor asked would Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger want to live next to the rapists and murderers her parole board is releasing?

Should public school districts have classes on religious and cultural holidays like Eid, Diwali and Lunar New Year? A majority of Loudoun County parents who were surveyed said YES, but the school board voted to continue to have no school on those days.

🚨WATCH: A massive data center alley might be coming to Stafford County, Virginia on the Rappahannock River-a short drive from Fredericksburg and King George County. One of the data center locations can be seen right across the river in Spotsylvania County. The homeowners there would have a view of an industrial site instead of a serene river with trees where Bald Eagles nest.   “I hate it,” said Arlene, who would live directly next to the data centers and a substation in Stafford County. “It makes me want to cry.”   The data center complex, known as Kings Corridor, would shadow over Arlene’s house during the day and the bright lights from the data centers would shine through her windows at night.    “It makes me very sad, and I'm praying that it doesn't come about,” said Arlene. “And we should keep it farm.”   David lives in the house right next to Arlene’s home, and he’s concerned about data center noise.     “I've had a choice [to live anywhere in] the entire country,” said David, who is a veteran and physician. “I chose here, and this is an idyllic area with a lot of nature. We've got a river here. We've got eagles. We've got wildlife. That'll all disappear.”   The Parsons are concerned about their property value and the data centers impacting the water to their homes, which run on well water, but that’s not all.   “I'm just worried about the Rappahannock because it is an endangered river,” said Sharon Parsons.   “We all have shallow wells because deep wells weren't required,” said Joe Parsons. “So when they start digging the dirt and moving the earth around here and putting the footers in for those massive data center walls, I'm concerned that my well water is going to get cloudy, and I'm going to have to spend money on new filtration systems. And I have no easy recourse to get the county or anybody doing it to help solve my problem. It's going to come out of my bank account.”   The developer’s attorney, Charles Payne, told 7News that at full build out Kings Corridor is projected to generate $245 million annually for the county, which is just over 20 percent of the county's total budget. The developer's attorney told 7News the data center money would support school funding and essential county services “while easing growing tax pressure on homeowners.”   The developer points out that Stafford County home owners’ real estate tax bills have increased 57 percent in five years.     But none of that changes the minds of the people who would have to live right next door. These residents want the board of supervisors to listen to the people who elected them.   “They need to think about the residents who moved here and live here,” said Margaret. “We moved away from Northern Virginia down to this area because we wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the D.C. metro area.” But they’re concerned the board won’t listen. This week, the Stafford County Board of Supervisors approved the Accokeek Creek data center project that 7News reported on that would also be near homes. And the Stafford County Board of Supervisors has also approved several other data centers that are under construction just off I-95 on Eskimo Hill. “Where can you move to at this point because you don't know where the next data center is going to pop up,” said Joe Parsons. “You say, ‘oh, let's move here,’ and then next thing you know, they're going to build a data center right next to you.” The Stafford County Planning Commission meets October 14th to discuss the Kings Corridor project.

🚨 WATCH: A rape survivor told me she’s terrified Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s parole board is going to release the man who raped her. Last year, the man was sentenced to 24 years in prison and just a few months later she was notified the man was up for parole.

Exclusive: The Loudoun County Sheriff shared new details about a man who is accused of killing his wife and targeting others. wjla.com/news/local/money-ma…

While I was AG, our office’s rape kit testing program identified this rape survivor’s attacker after more than 30 years. Just months later after receiving a 24 yr sentence, Spanberger’s parole board put him up for release. From the Victim when hearing the news: “I wanted to throw up…i get no justice? I’m petrified he is going to be released…all these people they are letting out is terrifying.” Justice delayed shouldn’t be Justice overturned!
