President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday wrapped an extremely productive summit aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, though what the next steps are remains unclear.Putin, who spoke first in a joint press conference held by the two world leaders, described the talks as a "constructive atmosphere of mutual respect."The Kremlin chief said an "agreements" had been reached, but neither leader expanded on any details relating to the talks, and they did not take questions from reporters.TRUMP SAYS HE 'WON'T BE HAPPY' IF PUTIN DOES NOT AGREE TO A CEASEFIRE IN UKRAINE DURING ALASKA SUMMITThe talks wrapped after just three hours, well over an hour short of original estimates and more than three hours shorter than the Kremlin believed the discussions would take."Today's agreement will be the starting point not only for the solution in Ukraine, but will also help us bring back businessbetween Russia and the U.S.," Putin said.Putin described the nation of Ukraine as a "brotherly nation" but continued to say that the "primary roots" of the conflict need to be "eliminated" terminology he has previously used to justify his illegal 2022 invasion.Trump then described the summit as "extremely productive" and said, "many points" were agreed to, but he also did not expand on where agreements were made.NATO DEFENSE MINISTER SIGNALS ABSOLUTE DISTRUST THAT PUTIN WANTS ANY PEACE DEAL AHEAD OF TRUMP SUMMITBut Trump also said the sides are "not there yet" in advancing a peace deal."There were many, many points that we agreed on, most of them, I would say. A couple of big ones that we haven't quite gotten there, but we've made some headway," Trump said."There's no deal until there's a deal," he added.Trump said he would call Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and NATO leaders to discuss the content of his discussions with Putin.Trump has made clear he hoped the next step would be for Zelenskyy and Putin to meet in person, though it is unclear if progress was made in making this meeting happen.

A third transgender athlete has sued a U.S. college in the span of one month in response to the ongoing national crackdown on biological males in women's sports.However, the latest lawsuit also claims a trans athlete was reinstated to a women's team in April despite NCAA policy and federal law prohibiting it.Trans track and field runner Evelyn Parts is suing Swarthmore College and the NCAA, alleging the school violated Title IX when it banned Parts from competing on the womens track and field team earlier this year.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMParts alleges the school said Parts could no longer compete on the women's team in February, the same month the NCAA changed its gender eligibility policy to prevent biological males from competing in the women's category after President Donald Trump signed the "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports" executive order.Parts' lawsuit also claims the trans athlete was "fully reinstated" to the Swarthmore women's track team April 11. Parts claims to have been allowed to compete on the womens team until graduating in May, even after the policy changes and Trump's executive order went into effect.Parts is listed as the winner of the women's 10,000 meters at the Bill Butler Invitational in April and as a participant in the Paul Donahue Invite that same month and the Centennial Championships in early May, according to the athlete's Swarthmore Athletics page.Fox News Digital has reached out to Swarthmore College and the NCAA for comment.Parts sued less than a month after fellow trans runner Sadie Schreiner filed a lawsuit against Princeton University after allegedly being excluded from a women's race in May.Parts' lawsuit was filed less than a week after trans volleyball player Emma Morquecho filed a lawsuit against Westcliff University and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletes (NAIA), an alternate college sports governing body to the NCAA, alleging a scholarship offer was revoked and eligibility was denied.FORMER UPENN SWIMMER REFLECTS ON BEING TEAMMATES WITH LIA THOMASLawsuits filed by trans athletes against schools that have excluded them from women's sports are a growing trend after Trump's new federal mandate on the issue. It contrasts with the previous trend of female athletes suing the NCAA and universities for having to compete with and share locker rooms with biological males.Former President Joe Biden had an executive order in place that protected the rights of trans athletes to compete in women's sports, and the NCAA's previous policy enabled trans athletes. The participation of former University of Pennsylvania trans swimmer Lia Thomas and former San Jose State trans volleyball player Blaire Fleming prompted multiple lawsuits against those institutions and the NCAA led by Riley Gaines and Brooke Slusser.Schreiner was previously allowed to compete on Rochester Institute of Technology's (RIT) women's track and field team for two years before the February NCAA rule change. Former RIT women's track runner Caroline Hill joined Gaines' lawsuit against the NCAA, citing her experience competing with and sharing a locker room with Schreiner.Parts is being represented by attorney Susie Cirilli, the same attorney representing Schreiner in the lawsuit against Princeton.Cirilli provided a statement to Fox News Digital addressing Parts' lawsuit."We stand by the allegations in the complaint. As stated in the complaint, the NCAA is a private organization that issued a bigoted policy. Swarthmore chose to follow that policy and disregard federal and state law," Cirilli said.Cirilli previously provided a statement to Fox News Digital addressing Schreiner's lawsuit against Princeton."The action of the two Princeton officials were in blatant and willful disregard of Sadies rights as a transgender woman under controlling New Jersey law," the statement said. "The actions of the defendants were utterly intolerable in a civilized community and go beyond the possible bounds of decency."Trump's Department of Education has already taken action against multiple universities over incidents of trans inclusion in women's sports prior to Trump's executive order. The DOE reached an agreement with UPenn over Thomas' participation in women's swimming in early July. The university agreed to expunge the trans athlete's records and apologize to all the female athletes affected by Thomas' presence on the women's team.Earlier in August, the DOE reached an agreement with Wagner College for a similar resolution regarding former trans fencer Redmond Sullivan.The DOE's investigation into San Jose State over the Fleming controversy is ongoing.If Parts' allegations are true, Swarthmore would be the second school with a recorded instance of a trans athlete competing on a women's team after the NCAA policy change and Trump's executive order in February.Ithaca College in New York admitted to allowing a trans athlete compete in a Division III rowing competition in March. The trans athlete competed in the Cayuga Duals, but only in the third varsity eight event, which is not factored into NCAA championship qualification.Ithaca provided a statement to Fox News Digital saying the trans athlete's participation was due to a "misunderstanding" by the coaching staff.The NCAA provided a statement to Fox News Digital addressing Ithaca's breach of policy."The policy is clear that there are no waivers available, and students assigned male at birth may not compete on a womens team with amended birth certificates or other forms of ID," the NCAA said. "If competition occurs, the team will be considered a mixed team and not eligible to compete against womens teams. Ithaca stated their intent to adhere to the policy which allows for practice opportunities, and the NCAA appreciates Ithacas responsiveness."The NCAA did not indicate whether results from the event would be voided or if Ithaca will face any consequences.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace cursed live on air while on a tear against President Donald Trump and his high-stakes summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin Friday, claiming that the U.S. leader "doesnt give a s--- about democracy.""Its so much to watch our countrys president stand with the person responsible for all that suffering and all that death. Its just heinous," Wallace said of the highly-anticipated talks about ending Russia's war with Ukraine."Its indiscriminate strikes on apartments that kill not enough innocent civilians to dominate the headlines for days and days. Its the terror. Its the terror of sending your kid off to school because you want life to be somewhat normal. But you know that any day Russia could bomb anywhere in Ukraine," Wallace continued."I mean, its watching them scrape and struggle to get an American president who supported them, to give them all the weapons they needed to go toe-to-toe with Russia," she said. "And to see all that potentially erased by an American president who just doesnt give a s--- about democracy. He doesnt care about our allies. He doesnt care about a democratic ally's sovereignty."HILLARY CLINTON SAYS SHE'D NOMINATE TRUMP FOR NOBEL PRIZE IF HE BROKERS PEACE BETWEEN RUSSIA, UKRAINEThe "Deadline: White House" host also made several suggestive jabs about Trump's body language during his photo-op with Putin."I mean, it just seems like even from the first Trump presidency, where you had people like Ambassador Bill Taylor, Marie Yovanovitch or Fiona Hill, theres no one around Donald Trump who can even explain why he shouldnt touch Putin so many times in front of the cameras," she added. "They're gone.""I mean, its so embarrassing," Wallace reacted. "Youre waiting for him to say, He looks so nice in his suit and his abs are cut. Theres a six-pack under there if you get to see it like I [do]. I mean, its disgusting.""Theres a lot of touching," she said. "I dont know that we always see him touching Melania as much as he touched Putin today. The handshake and then the hand on top of the hand. I mean, everything that over nine years weve learned about Trump, this is as fawning as he can be with any public figure hes ever photographed with."CLICK HERE FOR THE LATEST MEDIA AND CULTURE NEWSTrump greeted Putin on a red carpet in Anchorage, Alaska, another touch Wallace took issue with, scoffing that it was "a literal red carpet welcome for an internationally indicted war criminal."After the summit, Trump described the meeting with Putin as "extremely productive," but added "theres no deal until theres a deal.""Many points were agreed to, there are just a few that are left," Trump said.

Former "Shark Tank" investor Mark Cuban declared on Friday he will not run for the presidency unless President Donald Trump tries to run for an unprecedented third term.Since their disastrous defeat in the 2024 election, the Democratic Party has been struggling to find a new leader or ideological party line to rally around. Cuban, formerly a Harris campaign surrogate, is one of many political outsiders who have been mentioned as potential 2028 candidates.But when Ben Smith asked Cuban about a run on the Semafor podcast, the billionaire rejected the idea.RUBIO DOWNPLAYS 2028 TALK, TOUTS VANCE AS TRUMP'S SUCCESSOR"I'm not going to do it," Cuban replied. "I've said the only way I would do it is if Trump tried to run for a third term. Because then that's just changing everything, right? And that's a true threat."While Trump has hinted that his vice president, J.D. Vance, is "probably favored" to be his successor, he has both teased and distanced himself from the idea of a third term."I got the highest vote in the history of Texas, a record that they say won't be beaten unless I run again," Trump said during an early August interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box."Asked if he was going to run again, Trump responded, "No, probably not. Probably not.""But other than that, I'm not going to put my family through that, you know?" Cuban said, noting further that his three kids are between the ages of 15 and 21 and he would prefer to avoid the amount of "grief and abuse" that comes with running for president."When I'm 95 and taking - or 105 and taking my last breaths, right? I don't want to say, Well, gee, I ran for president. Maybe won, maybe didn't," he said.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREWhen asked who he actually favors to run in 2028, Cuban suggested names like Scott Galloway, Jon Stewart and Texas state Rep. James Talarico."But in terms of traditional politicians that weve seen? Meh," he said, expressing distaste.

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell was indicted Friday on federal charges alleging she carried on an "intimate relationship" with a taxpayer-funded security guard and conspired to defraud the city of more than $70,000, according to a superseding indictment unsealed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.The 18-count indictment accuses Cantrell, 53, and former New Orleans Police Department Officer Jeffrey Vappie of conspiracy, wire fraud, obstruction of justice, making false statements and making false declarations before a grand jury."Our office is aware of the indictment that was filed today against Mayor LaToya Cantrell," City Councilman JP Morrells spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "This is a sad day for the people of New Orleans. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Cantrell family as they navigate through this difficult time.""Everyone is presumed innocent under the law. Mayor Cantrell deserves that presumption," City Councilman Joe Giarrusso wrote on X. "This unfortunately will be sensationalized because it involves the Mayor and will further impede the Citys operations. We should, however, let the facts play out and not rush to judgment."CHRISTIAN SINGER SAYS SUPER BOWL PERFORMANCE IS 'VINDICATION' AFTER BEING CANCELED BY NEW ORLEANS MAYORProsecutors say the pair "developed a personal and intimate relationship" in or around October 2021 and concealed it "to maximize their time together" while exploiting their official positions for personal benefit."In total, Vappies trips with Cantrell cost the City of New Orleans over $70,000, separate from Cantrells own travel costs," the indictment states.Federal prosecutors say those trips, at least 14 in all, included travel to Los Angeles; San Francisco; Washington, D.C.; and Scotland, with Vappie falsely claiming on time sheets he was working in his role on the mayors Executive Protection Unit while engaging in personal activities.The indictment alleges she was warned by an associate to end the relationship, saying "It is A FELONY to have your lover be paid to work and have his travel paid for by the city. That Nashville mayor had to pay back like 50k AND serve 3 yrs probation. She is done! Please don't let this be your path LaToya!!!"EXCLUSIVE: CONTRACTOR OUSTED IN FRENCH QUARTER SAYS $8M TRASH DEAL WITH MAYOR DOESNT PASS THE SMELL TESTThe indictment alleges that "during shifts Vappie claimed to be on duty for EPU, he frequently spent time inside the Pontalba Apartment both with Cantrell and alone." Federal prosecutors say this was part of a broader scheme to conceal the pairs personal relationship while billing the city for on-duty hours. Around the same time, Vappies wife filed for divorce, citing the alleged relationship in court filings, according to local reports.A unit in the Pontalba Apartments, a historic city-owned property in the French Quarter, has long been considered a ceremonial perk of the mayors office, used to host visiting dignitaries, Mardi Gras festivities and other official functions, not as a permanent residence.The indictment also details personal messages the pair allegedly exchanged via WhatsApp, including a June 11, 2022, photo Cantrell sent to Vappie of a ring on her finger with the caption, "Hey did you tell [them] you put a ring on it?". In another message, Cantrell allegedly wrote, "The times when we are truly alone (traveling) is what spoils me the most".Prosecutors further allege Cantrell tried to cover up the relationship by deleting messages, activating a setting to make them disappear within 24 hours and lying under oath to a federal grand jury about turning over all requested evidence, withholding more than 50 photos from her personal devices.Cantrells tenure had already been marked by public controversy, most recently over a French Quarter trash dispute. She terminated IV Wastes sanitation contract, widely praised for its cleaning services, in favor of a personally-connected firm via an emergency declaration, sparking backlash from City Council officials and a filing from the Louisiana Attorney General condemning the move as an "abuse of emergency powers."Cantrell, first elected in 2017 and re-elected in 2021, has previously faced multiple ethics complaints. Her indictment could significantly alter the citys political landscape ahead of the October 2025 mayoral race. City Councilwoman Helena Moreno is widely considered the frontrunner. Fox News Digital has reached out to Moreno for comment but has not yet received a response.In an unrelated 2022 incident, Mayor Cantrell made headlines when she stepped into a physical altercation in a ladies room at a Rob49 rap concert at the Fillmore NOLA. Footage showed her diffusing a tense standoff; her communications director at the time praised her for intervening, calling it living her motto: "if you see something, do something."Also in 2022, activist and former Cantrell staffer Eileen Carter and community figure Belden "Noonie Man" Batiste launched a recall campaign claiming the mayor had "failed to put NewOrleans first and execute the responsibilities of the position." Despite submitting tens of thousands of signatures, organizers fell well short. According to Ballotpedia, about 67,000 signatures were submitted, but only 27,243 were validated, far below the nearly 45,000 required for triggering a recall election.Cantrell, the first female mayor in the citys more than 300-year history, is now its first sitting mayor to face criminal charges.If found guilty, the potential maximum penalties are up to five years for conspiracy to commit wire fraud; up to 20 years per count for wire fraud; up to 20 years for conspiracy to obstruct justice; up to five years for Vappies false-statement charge; up to 20 years for Cantrells obstruction charge; and up to five years per count for Cantrells false-declaration charges.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe two could also face up to $250,000 in fines per count, a $100 special assessment per count and up to three years of supervised release on each count.The Office of New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
