Fox News Politics Newsletter: US envoy gave Russian aide tips on selling Ukraine deal

By Eric November 28, 2025

In the latest updates from the Fox News Politics newsletter, several significant developments are shaping the political landscape. Notably, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has authorized deportation flights following a judge’s emergency order, which has intensified the ongoing conflict between state and federal authorities over immigration enforcement. This decision comes amid broader discussions on immigration policy and its implications for local communities, particularly as the Biden administration grapples with record numbers of border crossings. The situation highlights the contentious nature of immigration reform in the U.S., with Noem’s actions likely to draw both support and criticism from various political factions.

In another intriguing twist, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff reportedly provided strategic advice to a senior Kremlin official on how to propose a peace deal regarding Ukraine to former President Donald Trump. During a phone call with Yuri Ushakov, Putin’s top foreign policy aide, Witkoff suggested a “20-point Trump plan” for peace, echoing the approach taken during the Trump administration’s efforts in the Middle East. This revelation raises questions about the ongoing influence of Trump’s foreign policy strategies and the potential for renewed discussions on international peace negotiations. Additionally, the political landscape is further complicated by a recent judge’s dismissal of a 2020 election interference case against Trump, which aligns with Georgia’s request and underscores the ongoing legal battles surrounding the former president.

The newsletter also touches on broader social issues, including a call from universities and school districts nationwide to “decolonize” Thanksgiving, characterizing it as a “day of mourning.” This movement reflects a growing trend in academia and activism to reassess historical narratives and confront the legacies of colonialism. Furthermore, political tensions are evident in Texas, where a Democratic recruit known for his Latin Grammy win was caught vandalizing Trump’s Hollywood star, illustrating the deep divisions within American political discourse. As the country approaches critical decision points, including potential Supreme Court rulings on tariffs and ongoing debates surrounding antisemitism and immigration, the Fox News Politics newsletter continues to provide essential insights into the evolving political narrative.
