Jimmy Kimmel to host Los Angeles fundraiser for House Democrats: report

Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel will reportedly headline an upcoming fundraiser to benefit House Democrats.

According to New York Times reporter Teddy Schleifer, Kimmel will be the special guest for a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee benefit dinner next month.

Schleifer shared an invitation for the event on Tuesday, revealing that it will take place in Los Angeles on Mar. 10 and also feature House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Ticket prices range from $25,000 to over $300,000.

According to Politico, two people "familiar with the fundraiser who were granted anonymity to discuss the details" confirmed the event.

Fox News Digital reached out to the DCCC and Kimmel's representative for comment.

Kimmel has been a longtime supporter of the Democratic Party and has taken part in fundraiser events to support Democratic candidates.

In June 2024, Kimmel led a similar Los Angeles event to raise money for then-President Joe Biden's re-election campaign. Celebrity guests included George Clooney, Julia Roberts and former President Barack Obama, and the event reportedly raised over $30 million.

The event later went viral after a clip showed what appeared to be Obama guiding Biden off a stage. Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race one month later.

Kimmel continued to raise funds for Democrats, lending his name and endorsement to former Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign.

"Sorry to break your cold little heart, Donald, but I endorse Kamala Harris for president. I've had the privilege of interviewing our Vice President several times. She is a kind, brilliant and delightful person who cares very much about our country," a fundraising email obtained by Fox News Digital read.

Kimmel also campaigned for Nevada Sen. Jacky Rosen during a Las Vegas event in 2024.

Gun store owner says FBI asked him to check firearm sales against list of names, pics in Guthrie case

TUCSON, Ariz. - An Arizona gun store owner says an FBI agent asked him to review recent firearm purchases tied to a list of nearly two dozen people, as the search for Nancy Guthrie continues into a third week.

Phillip Martin, co-owner of Armor Bearer Arms in Tucson, told Fox News’ Amalia Roy that an FBI agent visited his store with three pages of approximately 18 to 24 individuals with corresponding photos and names.

The agent, Martin said, asked to check whether any of those people had purchased a firearm from his store within the past year.

"He actually had given me a list of paper, list of people that had pictures and names on it, and he wanted to know if I could help him pull up in my system if any of these people have purchased a gun in the last year," Martin said.

Martin said he initially questioned the request but ultimately agreed to help out of concern for Guthrie’s family.

"I felt bad for the family. Anything that could help them find the person I was willing to help," he said.

Martin said he entered each last name into his store’s electronic records system, which would display identifying information if the individual had made a purchase. He said none of the names returned a match for firearm purchases within the past year.

According to Martin, the agent told him investigators planned to visit additional gun stores to determine whether anyone on the list had recently bought a weapon.

On Tuesday, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos disputed reports that authorities have narrowed the suspect pool to a few dozen individuals. During an interview with Fox News’ Jonathan Hunt, Nanos denied that investigators had focused on a specific group.

"That’s not true," Nanos said when asked whether authorities had identified around 40 people as potential suspects.

"We haven’t narrowed it down to anything other than we have pieces of evidence that we’re looking at to try to find this individual," Nanos said.
