NEW YORK (WABC) -- Two men are facing federal charges this week accusing them of supplying the fentanyl that killed one New York City college student and poisoned a second. According to the newly unsealed indictment, Moises Freire, 19, brought fentanyl he obtained from Brian Peralta, 18, to the victims' undergraduate residence hall at Fashion Institute of Technology on March 18. Officials said Freire falsely claimed the drug did not contain fentanyl and was "pure cocaine. "Freire encouraged the victims to ingest the substance and almost immediately both women lost consciousness, prosecutors said. While the victims were incapacitated, Freire allegedly raped Annabel Richter in her FIT dorm room. Authorities say he then took photos of her that he sent to friends. He waited 45 minutes before seeking help from campus security, to whom he claimed the two undergraduates had simply consumed too much alcohol. Campus security responded and administered emergency aid, including Narcan. Both victims were transported to hospitals in Manhattan. Toxicology results later confirmed that both women had ingested fentanyl and no cocaine.

Trump golf course: DOJ official clashes with judge in DC golf course case after Trump attacks her
A contentious hearing is underway in Washington, D. C., where lawyers for the Trump administration are facing off with a federal judge pushing for answers over whether she was deliberately misled by the government over why it removed hundreds of trees from a local public golf course. D. C. District Judge Ana Reyes has ordered testimony from Interior Department official Gregory Wischer and acting Director of the National Park Service Jessica Bowron over why the government moved abruptly on Columbus Day weekend to remove more than 500 trees from East Potomac golf course without giving her proper advance notice. Last week, Reyes erupted at attorneys for the government after the trees were removed despite her demanding the administration alert her in advance if it planned any significant alterations to the course given ongoing litigation. The golf course has been the subject of litigation brought by the D. C. Preservation League in response to President Donald Trump's efforts to turn it into a course that could host professional tournaments.
