Democratic strategist James Carville urged on Wednesday that Democrats open "Pandoras Box" and execute multiple controversial power grabs to "save democracy," including establishing a permanent electoral majority the next time they gain power."The Democrats talk about democracy the importance of democracy and preserving democracy and saving democracy," Carville said. "Well, the truth of the matter is, people are right when they say this democracy is really imperfect."Carville listed several perceived imbalances in the current system, including Texas attempting to redraw its congressional districts. He argued that if Democrats can pull off a resounding victory in 2028 winning the presidency, the Senate, and the House they should use it to enshrine their power in unprecedented ways.JAMES CARVILLE TELLS EX-CNN HOST HE'S WORRIED TRUMP WILL TAMPER WITH 2026 MIDTERM ELECTIONS"They are just going to have to unilaterally add Puerto Rico and District of Columbia states," Carville said."They're going to have to do it. They're just going to have to do it. And they may have to expand the [Supreme Court] to 13 members," he said.While he once would have viewed such actions as politically risky, Carville argued that the Democrats have no other choice in this era of President Donald Trump."Any of those things in isolation I would be skeptical about. I would be cautious about. I would say, 'Well, I don't know if that's the greatest idea in the world, you're opening Pandora's Box," he said. "If you want to save democracy, I think you got to do all of those things because we just are moving further and further away from being anything close to democracy."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURECarville said he was unsure if "it's something that they should talk about during the campaign," but argued it should be a day one priority once Democrats are elected.

FIRST ON FOX Activist group StopAntisemitism is demanding Sephora stop carrying products from Huda Beauty after its founder posted a TikTok rant in which she blamed Israel for causing every World War, 9/11 and even the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack."All of the conspiracy theories coming out and a lot of evidence behind them that Israel has been behind World War I, World War II, September 11, October 7 they allowed all of this stuff to happen. Is this crazy? Like, I had a feeling I was like, Are they behind every World War? Yes. Behind September 11? Absolutely," Huda Beauty founder Huda Kattan said in the post to her 1.7 million followers, which has since been deleted by TikTok.Both World War I (ended in 1918) and World War II (ended in 1945) occurred prior to the establishment of the modern State of Israel in 1948.In a letter obtained by Fox News Digital, StopAntisemitism founder Liora Rez said Sephora would stand against its own values by continuing to offer Huda Beauty products."If Sephora is serious about creating a safe and inclusive space for all communities, it must drop Huda Beauty immediately," the letter states.BROTHER OF ISRAELI HOSTAGE URGES UN TO ACT AFTER VIDEO SHOWS HAMAS STARVING AND TORTURING CAPTIVES"From spreading the antisemitic lie that Jews harvest the organs of Palestinians to victim-blaming Israelis after Hamas terrorist atrocities, Kattan has consistently used her massive platform to incite against Jews," the letter adds. "I am requesting Sephora immediately sever ties with Huda Beauty and stop carrying its products online and in stores. Until you do so, I will not be shopping in your stores and will be making my friends, family, and community aware of this troubling issue.In a statement to Fox News Digital, Rez said Kattan was an "unhinged hater" who spreads "bigotry."A representative for TikTok told Fox News Digital the video was removed for violating their community guidelines. TikTok's guidelines stipulate that the social media app does not allow "misinformation that may cause significant harm to individuals or society, regardless of intent."Tamar Major, the USA National Director for Yad Vashem, told Fox News Digital that Kattan's remarks weren't just factually wrong, they were darkly reminiscent of the Nazi rhetoric used to incite the German people against the Jews."Hearing that same rhetoric resurface today is not just offensive its historically illiterate and profoundly dangerous," Major told Fox News Digital.AUTHORITIES PROBE ANTISEMITIC ATTACK INVOLVING ARSON, THREATENING GRAFFITI IN MIDWEST CITY: 'VIOLENT ACTS'The Palestinian terrorist group Hamas also blamed the Jews for World War I in its 1988 charter.

Leanne Morgan is reflecting on her journey from small-town southern grandmother to sitcom star.The 59-year-old, who was raised in rural Tennessee, always dreamed of becoming a comedian. However, she put her career aspirations on the backburner to prioritize her family life with her husband Chuck Morgan and their three children while occasionally performing at local corporate functions and charity events.In 2019, Morgan was about to accept that she had no real future in comedy when she unexpectedly became a viral sensation and found mainstream Hollywood success in her 50s. Morgan's first Netflix comedy special, "Im Every Woman," was released in 2023, and her mix of relatable humor and southern charm made her a hit with viewers.Since then, she made her acting debut in the 2025 romantic comedy "You're Cordially Invited," starring Reese Witherspoon and Will Farrell, embarked on a sold-out comedy tour and published a book, "What in the World?! A Southern Woman's Guide to Laughing at Life's Unexpected Curveballs and Beautiful Blessings."The actress, who lives in Knoxville, Tennessee, is now starring in her new self-titled Netflix sitcom "Leanne," which she co-created with Chuck Lorre and Susan McMartin.During an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Morgan, who describes herself as a "Grandmama from Tennessee," opened up about how she is still learning to stand her ground while staying true to her southern roots and refusing to let Hollywood change her.Morgan recalled how she had previously been approached about creating sitcoms, but the deals ultimately fell through as those involved didn't have a strong understanding of her brand."With all those deals, I worked with precious people but Id know in my heart, like, this is not how we are in the south," Morgan told the outlet. "This is not how church people are. This is not how my family is. But when you want something so bad And theyll tell you, We love you,' but then they want to change you. Hollywood people cant help it.""And I dont blame em, they dont know my world," she continued. "With this sitcom, at first, they were trying to find their footing, and I was freaked out, but then I thought, 'Ive got to give them grace. Theyre trying to learn me just like I am them.""And I was finally able to get to a place where at the beginning of every week, I could [read through a script and] go, We wouldnt say that, or This isnt what would happen. So, Im finally getting the guts, honey."While speaking with the Hollywood Reporter, Morgan explained that she previously hadn't received much feedback on how to hone her material since she was focused on her family and couldn't spend much time on the comedy circuit."I was raising these children first," she said. "I wasnt out here grinding. I was doing corporate [gigs] for men that make carpet fiber. They probably spent more on the shrimp than they did on me."Though she was grateful to have an outlet for her comedy, Morgan said that her corporate gigs were "horrible.""They suck the life out of you," she recalled. "These men have been playing golf all day, theyre tired, theyve probably had alcohol, and Im up there talking about going on Weight Watchers and how I dont like low-cut panties."Morgan recalled that she was repeatedly rejected by the mainstream comedy world because the industry was seeking "edgy" comedians, and she was perceived as "mom centric.""When I was trying to audition for Aspen or Montreal [comedy festivals] or when Comedy Central would come through, they wanted edgy, and I was in a kitten heel and a pant with a bird on it, talking about how somebody doodied on a T-ball field. Theyd say, 'Oh, shes not edgy. Shes a mom comic.'" Morgan remembered."But people in clubs always booked me," she added. "Theyd go, Keep going. Youre unique.""Now, Hollywood? Hollywood loves that mom in the kitten heel. Theyd see my new 45 minutes and say, Youve written a sitcom! Then Id get there and theyd go, 'Lets make your husband a Hispanic man.' And dont get me wrong, I love Hispanic men. God forbid something happens to [husband] Chuck Morgan, Im dating a Latino man," Morgan said."But theyd switch everything up Lets make your daughter on dope, or she wants to make it in a country music and shes on ecstasy and Id be like, Have yall watched my act?!"Though circumstances prevented Morgan from pursuing her dreams until later in life, she told the Hollywood Reporter that she had no regrets about her choices."I was meant to raise my children and I think its the best thing that ever happened," she said. "So many more people can relate to me because I did raise these children and I have gone to Weight Watchers and I dont like my stomach and my husband gets on my nerves."Morgan recalled that her chance at success in the industry finally arrived during the pandemic when people who were craving authenticity resonated with her material."COVID-19 happened and people wanted to connect with people who were real, and there I was on the back porch talking about fixing my mama something that she could eat after her stroke," Morgan recalled. "And thats me. I talk about taking care of elderly parents, launching children, menopause, and it was a niche that nobody was filling."During her interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Morgan explained that while she candidly tackles many aspects of everyday life in her comedy, she prefers to steer clear of politics."Honey, if you want to talk about fingernail polish or a spray tan, Im good at that," she said. "I wouldnt know how to talk about politics."In addition, Morgan noted that her approach was inspired by another southern icon."Ive also had my Dolly Parton to look up to, and, like her, I just dont want anybody to feel uncomfortable," Morgan said.Morgan told the Hollywood Reporter that it took some time for Netflix to recognize her potential, but the streaming platform eventually went all in. Along with "Leanne," Morgan confirmed that she also has two additional comedy specials in the works at Netflix following the success of "Im Every Woman.""It took em a while, but then I got some big guns in my camp who could say, 'Yall dont have anybody like her,'" she recalled. " I ended up leasing my first [hour] to them, and theyve been so precious to me."I just shot my second one for them, and Ive got a deal for a third in 2027," she continued. "And then they gave me this show me and Chuck Lorre walked in there and I said something about having a weak pelvic floor. I was nervous, and they were basically like, What do you want to do? Well do it."The 16-episode Netflix series stars Morgan as Leanne, whose "life takes an unexpected turn when her husband of 33 years leaves her for another woman," according to a logline for the show."Starting over when youre a grandmother and in menopause isnt exactly what she had in mind, but with the help of her family she will navigate this new chapter with grace, dignity and jello salad."Morgan told the Hollywood Reporter that she and Lorre, the creator behind the mega-hit sitcoms "Two and a Half Men" and "The Big Bang Theory," initially envisioned "Leanne" as a single-camera comedy."But Netflix said, Would yall please consider doing a multicam and bringing that [format] back? I thought, Dont put that burden on me. Then they said, Well greenlight it right now if you do.'" Morgan recalled.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSIn an interview with the Netflix outlet Tudum, Morgan weighed in on the challenges of adapting her stand-up routine to a sitcom format with a live studio audience."This is something Ive dreamed of since I was a little girl, and it was just as exciting as I imagined," she said. "Learning a new medium was definitely a challenge memorizing new scripts every week was totally new for me but I loved it. As a stand-up, the comedic timing felt natural, and filming in front of a live audience was especially comfortable. By the end of the season, it really felt like home."While "Leanne" is loosely based on Morgan's life, the show is not autobiographical. Unlike her character, who is a recent divorcee, Morgan is happily married to her husband Chuck, whom she wed in 1993. The couple share three children: Charlie, Maggie and Tess.Morgan told the Hollywood Reporter that it was Lorre's idea to make the show a fictionalized version of her life."He didnt want to base it on my real family, and he liked the idea of starting over because its a theme that people can relate to," Morgan said. "I balked at first, but I think its the smartest thing we did because I really wouldve felt protective over my children, my grandchildren and Chuck Morgan."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"And years ago, I met a showrunner on Reba, and that was based on [Reba McEntires] real life, and she got very protective," she added. "It wasnt a good thing."Morgan recalled that her husband has only taken issue with one of her jokes in all of her years performing stand-up."There was only one time that he said to me, Do not say that," she shared. "When I first got started, Id breast fed a bunch of kids and I wanted to get my breast done, and I said [on stage], I want my breasts done, but its been a bad year in the mobile home industry."She continued, "Chuck Morgan was in the mobile home industry, and he said to me, I will always take care of you. I could write a check for your breasts right now. I dont want anybody to think I cannot provide for you.""That is his purpose, and I never said anything like that again."During a July 2025 interview on "Today," Morgan shared that Jerry Seinfeld boosted her confidence when she was having doubts about her ability to headline a sitcom."He said, 'Leanne, you go in front of thousands of people every night, you can make them laugh for over an hour. You know what you're doing, you know what's funny, you can do this,'" Morgan recalled Seinfeld telling her. "I know that sounds simple, but it gave me the confidence to think, Okay, I can do a sitcom," she added.While speaking with the Hollywood Reporter, Morgan shared another piece of advice that she received from Seinfeld."Ive texted everybody I know thats had a TV show, like, What if people dont like it? But Jerry Seinfeld said to me, "Honey, get ready to worry the rest of your life. Thats just part of it,'" she said.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro drew sharp criticism after joining a lawsuit to block President Donald Trump from placing prohibitions on juvenile gender surgeries and criticizing supporters of a state Senate bill that would ban biological males from competing in girls sports.The potential 2028 Democratic hopeful was careful to distinguish that his opposition to Trumps move is not necessarily in support of such procedures, but because he believes the doctors office is no place for the federal government."I am suing the Trump administration alongside 16 other states for threatening baseless civil investigations and criminal prosecutions against healthcare providers in Pennsylvania and trying to take medical decisions away from parents and local communities," Shapiro said in a statement to Fox News Digital."The freedom to make healthcare decisions should be between parents, their children and their doctor, and I will not stand by while the federal government tries to infringe on the rights and freedoms of Pennsylvania families," the governor said.STAR WARS BAR OF LEFTISTS: WEINGARTEN, HUNTER, MAMDANI PROVE DEMOCRATIC PARTY LED BY EXTREME FIGURES, SEN. SCHMITT SAYSHowever, that did not quell concerns among the states Senate GOP majority. A spokesman for the caucus campaign committee called it Shapiro's "attempt to ingratiate himself with the Democrats radical base [that] puts the health of children at risk.""Josh Shapiros presidential aspirations are no secret," SRCC Executive Director Cody Harbaugh said.Shapiro also explicitly lambasted Trump and potential second-time gubernatorial opponent Sen. Doug Mastriano, R-Gettysburg, as "extremist politicians" for "trying to legislate a students participation [in scholastic sports] and legislate the restriction on freedom the way theyve tried to do on many other things."CHICAGO MAYOR CALLS ICE RAIDS TERRORISM, SAYS TRUMP'S AMERICA APPEARS AS IF THE CONFEDERACY WONMastriano is a co-sponsor of the "Save Women Sports Act" from state Sen. Judy Ward, R-Huntingdon, which would ban biological males from girls sports. It mirrors similar efforts at the federal level. He also authored the "Two-Gender Protection Act" to prohibit Harrisburg from recognizing transgender people."Josh Shapiro just called Senator Mastriano and President Trump extremist politiciansfor standing up for womens sports. Lets be honest. Its Shapiro whos extreme," Mastriano countered in comments to Fox News Digital."Hes denying science and forcing biological males into womens sports," Mastriano added, calling such a push from the left "a woke patriarchythat tramples womens rights.""We cannot allow the opportunities that Title IX enshrined for women to be lost," Ward said of her bill in a separate statement.Mastriano, whose populist streak has ruffled feathers with some in his own party, is seen as a top potential opponent to Shapiro again in 2026.He recently dropped a survey on social media asking supporters whether the PAGOP should endorse primary candidates amid reports some donors and county GOP chairs want State Treasurer Stacy Garrity to run.Shapiro expressed his criticisms of Trump and Mastriano in public remarks reported by WHYY as well but added that the Democratic-majority state House of Representatives hasnt taken up the Senate-passed bill and that he "hasnt reviewed it specifically."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe White House said the lawsuit Shapiro joined is "exactly why the Democratic Partys approval continues to hit new lows."They back radical policies that over 90% of America does not support," spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Fox News Digital."President Trump took decisive action on day one to stop the despicable mutilation and chemical castration of children, which everyday Americans resoundingly support. The president has the lawful authority to protect Americas vulnerable children through executive action, and the administration looks forward to ultimate victory on this issue."Shapiro has broken with some in his party on issues or people considered "extreme" on the right.When antisemitic protests broke out at the University of Pennsylvania, Shapiro broke with progressives and demanded the college "act [and] disband the encampment and restore order."As Republicans criticized his comments on Wards bill and he became a party to the lawsuit against Trump, the SRCC suggested many Democrats are being pulled further left, a shift they attribute to the early success of New York Assemblymember Zohran Mamdanis mayoral bid."With the victories of progressive Democrat candidates in places like New York City, Shapiro knows he has no choice but to abandon common sense," the SRCC said in a statement.Shapiro, however, recently criticized Mamdani for failing to rein in his most radical backers."You have to speak and act with moral clarity, and when supporters of yours say things that are blatantly antisemitic, you cant leave room for that to just sit there," he said.Mastriano said, "dont believe" Shapiro when he "pretends to be a moderate" in cases like the Trump lawsuit.Shapiro supporters pointed to a July ranking placing him as the nations 9th most popular governor.

In the usually serene New York seascape of the Hamptons and Montauk, a series of brutal crimes has occasionally shattered tranquility.From the wealthentangled murder of financier Ted Ammon in 2001 to grim violence in Montauk parks in 2019, and now a mysterious death aboard a boat at therenowned Montauk Yacht Club, the region has seen a scattering of violent crimes in recent decades.While Martha Nolans mysterious death is the most recent to rattle the regions sun-soaked serenity, its far from the only unsettling incident in recent decades to disrupt life in the Hamptons.IRISH BEAUTY WHO SOLD BIKINIS FOUND DEAD ON BOAT AT LUXURY YACHT CLUB, HOMICIDE COPS PROBEOn Tuesday, the picturesque peninsulas guests were rocked by the discovery of 33-year-old Martha Nolan-OSlatarra. According to Suffolk County police, East Hampton Town officers responded to a 911 call just after midnight from a man who reported a woman unconscious on a vessel docked at the luxury marina, located on Star Island Road.Nearby good Samaritans attempted CPR before first responders arrived, but the woman was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.On Wednesday, police identified the deceased as Nolan, an industrious entrepreneur. They said that her death "did not show evidence of violence." Authorities said the preliminary investigation and medical exam were "inconclusive" as to the cause of death.An official ruling will be made following an autopsy by the Suffolk County Medical Examiners Office.EXCLUSIVE WATERFRONT ENCLAVE ROCKED AFTER BODY FOUND NEAR YACHT CLUBOriginally from Carlow, Ireland, Nolan was the founder of East x East, a boutique resort wear label she frequently promoted on TikTok through stylish behind-the-scenes glimpses of her photo shoots and design process.In the early hours of June 6, 2019, Montauks sleepy calm was pierced by the death of 38-year-old Robert Casado.According to the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office, Casado, a seasonal worker, had expected to meet someone for a job. Instead, authorities said, he was ambushed by Joseph Grippo, a 47-year-old Montauk local carrying a 36-inch pickaxe handle on Kirk Park Trail in Montauk.Grippo bludgeoned Casado to death, delivering multiple blows with the makeshift weapon and fleeing before police arrived. A love triangle motive emerged as the leading theory after prosecutors revealed that both Casado and Grippo were involved with the same woman.According to prosecutors, Grippo had harbored resentment for months. Prosecutors found that Grippo had planned the fatal attack for months, purchasing the makeshift murder weapon months beforehand.Following an intense local investigation and nearly three years of legal back-and-forth, Grippo pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in July 2022. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison, with five additional years of post-release supervision.Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney called the act "a cold, calculated plan to murder a man he lured into a secluded area under false pretenses."What began as a missing person case in the spring of 2010 would spiral into one of the most disturbing serial murder investigations. When 24-year-old Shannan Gilbert vanished after fleeing a clients home in Oak Beach, Suffolk County police initially suspected she had drowned in the nearby marshland. However, as investigators searched the brush along Ocean Parkway, they unearthed four bodies wrapped in burlap.The women were later identified as Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Amber Costello and Maureen BrainardBarnes. They had all advertised escort services online. The press dubbed them the "Gilgo Four."WATCH 'ARCHITECT OF DEATH: THE LONG ISLAND SERIAL KILLER' ON FOX NATIONOver the following months, additional sets of remains were uncovered, including Valerie Mack, Jessica Taylor, Tanya Jackson and her toddler daughter Tatiana, and a person referred to for years only as "Asian Doe."The discoveries fueled speculation of a possible serial killer. The investigation stalled until, in July 2023, police arrested 59-year-old Rex Heuermann.Heuermann, a 59-year-old architect from Massapequa Park, was charged with the murders of Barthelemy, Waterman and Costello, and later named the prime suspect in Brainard-Barness killing. Investigators used cellphone records, burner phone activity, DNA forensics and surveillance footage to charge him.By 2024, prosecutors added more charges, and accused Heuermann of luring victims to his home and killing them in his soundproofed basement. Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to all charges. He remains in custody while prosecutors push for a trial.SIGN UP TO GET THE TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTERIn October 2021, the crisp autumn air of East Hampton was pierced by the blugeoning death of Ted Ammon, a Wall Street financier. Ammon was found naked in his master bedroom at 59 Middle Lane, his estate in East Hampton.His chauffeur, arriving after Ammon missed a business meeting, discovered the scene: a hightech alarm system had been deactivated, there were no signs of forced entry or theft, and his body bore 3035 wounds to the head.FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON XAt the center of the murder investigation was Ammon's divorce from Generosa Ammon, with whom he had adopted twins from Ukraine in 1992. Generosa, amid contentious divorce proceedings, had hired Daniel Pelosi, an electrician and contractor, to work on her Manhattan townhome.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPTheir friendship blossomed into an affair. Following Ammon's murder, eyebrows were raised by Generosa and Pelosi's rapid marriage.It took nearly three years for the case to culminate in a conviction. In March 2004, Pelosi was arrested and later convicted of second-degree murder, receiving a 25tolife sentence.Generosa, in August 2003, died of breast cancer and the adopted twins inherited the bulk of their fathers estate, estimated in the tens of millions, while Pelosi remained incarcerated.Pelosi later claimed that he was the fall guy in the murder investigation."I did not do it," Pelosi told Piers Morgan on FOX Nation's "The Killer Interview." "I did not do this murder. I did not kill Ted Ammon."

Maryland State Police say a 19-year-old posed as one of their officers and made fake traffic stops.The agency said Jayden Ballard of Salisbury was served a criminal summons in February and was charged with impersonating a police officer and unlawful taking of a motor vehicle."The Maryland State Police received information alleging that Ballard had gained access to a marked Maryland State Police vehicle," according to police."Investigators believe he was operating the patrol vehicle while wearing a Maryland State Police uniform throughout Wicomico County and conducting unlawful traffic stops," authorities added.DEADLY LAWMAKER AMBUSH IN MINNESOTA RAISES FEARS ABOUT FAKE POLICE OFFICERS KNOCKING ON DOORSThe photos purportedly show Ballard wearing a beige uniform with a radio attached to his chest.A Maryland State Police spokesperson told WJLA that how Ballard gained access to the uniform and police cruiser is "part of the investigation."ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CONVICTED IN 100 MPH DUI CRASH THAT KILLED WASHINGTON STATE TROOPER"Police are asking anyone who may have interacted with Ballard while he was impersonating a Maryland State Trooper, to contact the Maryland State Police Criminal Enforcement Division," State Police also said in a statement.Ballards trial is currently scheduled to begin September 24, according to online court records.

Months after Roger Daltrey revealed he is going blind and deaf, The Who frontman - who's currently on tour with his band - said he's "nervous about making it to the end of the tour."In an interview with The Times, Daltrey, 81, opened up about his health concerns and gave insight as to what's next for him after The Who's tour wraps."This is certainly the last time you will see us on tour," Daltrey said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday confirmed he discussed a trilateral meeting to include Russian President Vladimir Putin, potentially as soon as next week, in a call with President Donald Trump one day prior.Zelenskyy who echoed comments issued by Trump on Wednesday and said the discussion was also held with European leaders called on Putin to "be brave" and take the meeting."Yesterday, various potential formats for leader-level meetings to bring peace were also discussed two bilateral and one trilateral," he said in a post on X. "Ukraine is not afraid of meetings and expects the same brave approach from the Russian side. It is time we ended the war."A HISTORIC MEETING BETWEEN TRUMP AND PUTIN COULD OCCUR WITHIN 10 DAYSThe comments came after months of attempts by the Trump administration to get Putin to sit down with Zelenskyy, which the Kremlin chief has thus far refused.It appeared unlikely that he would agree to it this time around either, as Russian state media on Thursday reported Putin as being open to the idea, but said "conditions must be created for negotiations to take place."The "conditions" were also reported to be "far from being created," according to a Telegram post by Russian state news agency RIA.Trumps foreign policy advisor further claimed on Thursday that the issue of a trilateral meeting was "mentioned" but "not discussed" during Putin's talks with White House envoy Steve Witkoff and later, Trump.TRUMP HAILS 'HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE' TALKS WITH PUTIN DESPITE NO CEASEFIRE, 'SECONDARY TARIFFS' STILL ON"As for the option of a trilateral meeting, which for some reason was discussed yesterday in Washington, this option was simply mentioned by the American representative during the meeting in the Kremlin. But this option was not specifically discussed," Kremlin foreign policy advisor Yuri Ushakov said. "The Russian side left this option completely, without comment."We propose first of all to focus on preparing a bilateral meeting with D. Trump and we believe that the main thing is for this meeting to be successful and productive," he added.Zelenskyy said he had been in discussions with both German ChancellorFriedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday to ensure Europes interests were also at the forefront of any U.S.-Russia-Ukraine discussions."We are coordinating our positions, and we equally see the need for a common European view on key security issues for Europe," Zelenskyy said. "Much depends both now and in the long term on the prudence and effectiveness of each step taken by Europe and America."Both Germany and France have taken on leadership roles when it comes to the war in Ukraine and protecting Europes interests following Trumps re-entrance into the White House earlier this year.The U.K. has also been at the forefront of these discussions, though Fox News Digital could not immediately confirm whether Zelenskyy had also already discussed the trilateral meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
