At first I thought the leak came from Rubio but now I’m thinking this came from EU sources and that’s delightful.
Any reason to think otherwise?

Putin’s aide Yuri Ushakov reacted to the leaked calls with U.S. envoy Witkoff, saying “someone is leaking or eavesdropping” and accusing opponents of trying to sabotage U.S.-Russia contacts. He confirmed Witkoff is expected to visit Moscow next week as part of ongoing peace negotiations.

Do you remember what Trump's nominees said under oath at their confirmation hearings? I read the transcripts so you don't have to. Unlike Comey, targeted for a "lie" that seems nonexistent, they repeatedly misled and lied to Congress—and we're all paying the price. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-admi...

One man -- Marco Rubio -- serves this country as both National Security Adviser and Secretary of State.
And he was nowhere near the drafting of that Ukraine 'peace plan,' which was instead devised by the president's real-estate buddy and his son-in-law.
