Republicans and Democrats warn Witkoff ‘cannot be trusted’ after reportedly advising officials on peace plan
Steve "Halfwit" Witkoff gave instruction to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin on how to get a favorable response out of Trump regarding the Witkoff-Putin appeasement plan.
Witkoff is working for Russia – not the United States.
A few days after Trump said that members of Congress should be "executed" for telling members of the armed forces to follow the law, we discover that Halfwit Witkoff is acting like a traitor. Members of both chambers of Congress from both parties are calling for Witkoff's removal.
A handful of US representatives have reacted furiously to a leaked recording in which the special envoy to Ukraine reportedly coached Moscow on how to handle Donald Trump, but most have so far remained mute on the revelation that American officials were advising a US adversary. Don Bacon, a Republican representative, called for Steve Witkoff’s immediate dismissal. “For those who oppose the Russian invasion and want to see Ukraine prevail as a sovereign & democratic country, it is clear that Witkoff fully favors the Russians,” the Nebraska lawmaker wrote on X. “He cannot be trusted to lead these negotiations. Would a Russian paid agent do less than he? He should be fired.” Brian Fitzpatrick, a Pennsylvania Republican wrote that the leak represented “a major problem” and “one of the many reasons why these ridiculous side shows and secret meetings need to stop”. He urged that the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, be allowed to “do his job in a fair and objective manner”. Democratic representative Ted Lieu went further, calling Witkoff an “actual traitor,” and adding: “Steve Witkoff is supposed to work for the United States, not Russia.” In a recording obtained by Bloomberg of a 14 October phone call between Witkoff and Yuri Ushakov, Vladimir Putin’s top foreign policy aide, Witkoff said peace would require Moscow gaining control of Donetsk and potentially additional Ukrainian territory.
This is Russia collusion in plain sight – with Trump basically just shrugging. The Trump administration doesn't even attempt to deny it. American foreign policy should be directed from the State Department – not from the Kremlin.
