[Ainsley Earhardt]

The holiday rush is on. Lisa Brady, Fox News about 82 million Americans expected to travel this week for Thanksgiving, a record triple A anticipates that some flyers could cancel their tickets and drive instead of fly due to flight cancellations and the lingering impacts of the government shutdown. Fox businesses Max Gordon at Los Angeles International Airport, where they're also urging travelers to treat TSA agents with respect as they work over the holiday.

Had stalled after Fulton County DA Fani Willis was pushed out over an appearance of impropriety. She brought a special prosecutor onto the case, with whom she ended up having a romantic relationship. State law had the Prosecuting attorneys Council of Georgia decide who should pursue the charges and their director, Pete Scandalakis, took over the case.

[Ainsley Earhardt]

But Scandalakis filing a motion to drop the case, citing multiple factors including lack of criminal intent and guilty pleas from some defendants and a Fulton county judge, has now dismissed the case. The defendants were accused of conspiring to overturn 2020 election results. President Trump's lead defense attorney on the Georgia case says it should never have been brought, calling it a political persecution. Israel and Hamas complete another exchange of remains as part of a ceasefire.

[Chris Foster]

Bodies of 15 more Palestinian prisoners are sent to Gaza. It's unclear whether these were detainees who died in Israeli custody or Palestinians killed during the Hamas attacks on Israel two years ago or during the war since the exchanges for a body returned to Israel the day before Dror or was killed with his wife yunat. During the October 7th attack, two of their children were abducted and released.

The FBI says 20 year old Lucas Alexander Temple is in custody following a search of his parents home in Sarasota, Florida, where they recovered neo Nazi propaganda and a sawed off shotgun. The agents say they tracked Temple down using the messaging app Signal, where he used alleged handles and aliases. But investigators say he revealed personal details in his chat sessions, including that he visited a museum on a certain date.

Temple is being held without bond. In Miami, Eben Brown, Fox News.
