WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s chief interlocutor with the Russian government last month advised a senior aide to Vladimir Putin on how the Russian leader should go about pitching the U.S. president on a peace plan aimed at bringing an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine, according to a transcript of the call published by Bloomberg News on Tuesday.

Trump envoy Steve Witkoff, according to a transcript of the Oct. 14 call published by the news service, advised Putin’s foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov that Putin should call Trump to congratulate him for the Gaza peace deal, say Russia had supported it and that he respects the president as a man of peace.

“From that, it’s going to be a really good call,” Witkoff said according to the transcript.

When asked by Russian state media to comment on Bloomberg’s report, Ushakov did not question the recordings’ authenticity but said that they had not been leaked by Moscow. He also said that the calls had likely been leaked to “hinder” U.S.-Russia ties. “It’s unlikely this is being done to improve relations,” he said.


Ushakov also said that he spoke with Witkoff by phone “quite often” but refused to discuss the content of the recording. “The essence of these conversations is that they are confidential. I won’t comment. No one should comment.”

Obviously an unregistered foreign asset, representing a foreign government, unfriendly to democracies or democratic rule.

[TimFitz]

It should be noted that Steve Witkoff's connections with Russian money launderers and gangsters goes back decades. Although not as far at Trump's.

Indeed, Trump showed him how Russian money laundering through real estate works!

As you read this, contemplate that this man is clearly working to advance Russian interests .

Its not because trump has an inexcusable russia policy at all.

Democrats are so far gone that the very notion of negotiation is now lost on them in lieu of the whole 'my way or the highway' mentality they have assumed. Pathetic.

When you can produce an actual fact, please do so.

Claiming something is "fake news" just because you can't want

Trump is a stooge for Putin. Your ilk are stooges for Trump.

Not only coaching them, but coaching them on how to deal with an idiot like Trump. Have a 20 point plan. Doesn't matter what the points are, as long as you have 20 points. Say nice things to Trump. And telling them that he thinks Russia wants peace (I mean, it does, but only by destroying the Ukraine, not by stopping the war as it is now).

It's crazy that he thinks a peace deal is going to come by Putin bowing down to Trump and getting down to Trump's childish level.

You mean, exactly what Trump did with the longest shutdown in history? Putting Trump ahead of all the other presidents COMBINED in terms of days the govt has been shut down?

Trump did not control Schumer's shutdown. No bill was presented for him to sign until it actually ended. Try harder.

The real objective is to provide the Trump regime with an excuse to stop all hall to Ukraine and promote its collapse.

in a normal world this would be a major diplomatic self inflicted would for the United States.

A feckless surrender to Russia, and a now open demonstration that Trump has always been a stooge for Putin.

I think the main thing for Trump is to show he's a man of peace and get a deal done, no matter what happens. And he can't bully Russia, he's tried and it failed. Bullying the Ukraine is easier.

If that is verified then Witkoff should be fired
