Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Added note: the Trump family is *heavily* connected to DATCOs. In an August newsletter I outlined the 5–6 DATCOs linked to the Trump family. Since then, Trump-linked World Liberty Financial and Fight Fight Fight LLC have also launched treasury strategies, bringing the total to 7–8.
