   United States Special Envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russian officials on how to pitch a Ukraine peace deal to President Donald Trump, according to an audio recording reported by Bloomberg.

   Witkoff, a property developer and longtime Trump associate, played a pivotal role in shaping the White House’s current Ukraine peace proposal, as well as the ceasefire deal between Israel and Gaza.

   Late in October, Witkoff met with Kremlin envoy Kirill Dmitriev, an economic adviser to the Russian president, in Florida to discuss and begin drafting an agreement that would prioritize Russian interests.

2. is that not his role?

3. They’re probably taking advantage of Trumps increasingly demented state of mind.

4. This is so treasonously insane.

   The chief American negotiator in a war directly advising and helping an enemy country to exploit the stupidity of the American president.

5. Is Witkoff getting something out of the proposed agreement? if not, why would he be advising Putin on how to manage Trump?

6. Sounds like treason to me!

7. This is pretty much treason. I think we know who’s really running the USA. And just a reminder that we barely know if Putin’s alive, only that nobody’s going to want to clean up the mess..

8. How is this breaking news, Newsweek?

   It’s been going on since Trump took office, and was going on for four years last time he was in office too. And you knew it.
