I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire editor-in-chief John Bickley. It's Friday, December 13th, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update. The woman who accused members of the Duke lacrosse team of rape in 2006 is now admitting she lied. Daily Wire editor Ash Short has the details.
Crystal Mangum, now 46, made the admission during an interview with Katerina DePasqua at the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women, where Mangum is serving time for killing her boyfriend in 2011. Mangum said she knows what she did was wrong and that she made up the story because she was seeking validation. She also said she hoped the three falsely accused men could forgive her. Mangum has maintained for nearly 20 years that she was raped during a party thrown by the Duke University men's lacrosse team back in 2006, even writing a book about her claims after she was proven to have lied.
Trump border czar Tom Homan spoke at a GOP holiday party in Chicago this week. Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce has the story.
Tom Homan was direct, saying he will implement Donald Trump's plan to deport millions of illegal immigrants beginning in the Windy City.
Now that starts on January 21st. And we're going to start right here in Chicago, Illinois. Yeah!
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson have vowed to fight deportations and continue their sanctuary policies. But Holman said he won't back down. This comes just days after Chicago residents criticized the mayor for using taxpayer dollars to house and feed illegal immigrants instead of taxpaying citizens.

The Biden administration spent more than a billion dollars on DEI programs since 2021. Daily Wire senior reporter Mary Margaret Olihan has the report.
Parents Defending Education revealed the breakdown of the billion dollars in grants in a new report on Thursday. They say the funding promotes far-left ideology through initiatives like race-based teacher training and youth activism programs. Some examples of how the money was spent include $21 million for equity-focused teacher training in North Carolina, $4 million for a three-week culturally responsive computer science summer camp, and $1.2 million for the University of Iowa to train 40 elementary teachers to, quote, enact equity-centered education. The list goes on and on, while nearly one-third of students have fallen behind grade level only last year, Donald Trump has pledged to dismantle the Department of Education and end such initiatives.
Michael Jordan's 32,000 square foot mansion in Highland Park, Illinois, has finally found a buyer. After sitting on the market for 12 long years, the property, which was listed at $29 million, closed at $9.5 million, a 67% discount. The low ball sale is a rare turnover for the basketball legend known for hitting big shots. The property features championship-worthy amenities like a basketball court, circular infinity pool. Many believe these distinctive features hindered the sale. We still don't know the identity of the buyer. And for the first time ever, a nativity display appeared on the Capitol steps in Washington, D.C. Daily Wire reporter Amanda Prestigiacomo has the story.
Just this past week, the first ever Christmas carols and nativity display was held on the southeastern steps of the U.S. Capitol, marking a major victory for religious freedom. The event, which included religious prayer, was made possible after a landmark federal court ruling was issued this past May.
