According to the article, the officials said that the problem was Witkoff’s “Go-it-it-it-it-it-it”. In short, quotes from anonymous sources paint the image that Witkoff is not ready to negotiate the end of the war. Witkoff is described with words as “inexperienced”, “thug”, “not informed” and having an inability to concentrate.

The point of sale noted that after the White House learned of his reports, he provided several statements, including one from the British national security advisor Jonathan Powell.

In the room, Powell would have said that Witkoff “was able to open doors that no one else could” and “is exactly [the] A kind of person “who obtains diplomacy by concentrating” on the construction of confidence between the main leaders … and move quietly to conclude an agreement “.

“Witkoff has made more progress towards the end of the bloodshed in Ukraine than all its detractors,” said VP Vance in another press release.

After the publication of the report, Vance went to X and wrote a brutal response.

This political story is a journalistic professional fault. But it is more than that: it is an operation of foreign influence intended to harm the administration and one of our most effective members.

Vance noted that the “journalist” had left aside several quotes of record, including him, the secretary of state Marco Rubio, and “the complete quotation of the United Kingdom Jonathan Powell, one of the most respected national security people in the Western world, who defended Steve vigorously from these malicious smears”.

“The person who wrote these garbage is @felschwartz,” wrote the VP. “Aside from the inability to include information on the file contravene the report directly to contradict her report, I wonder if she never wondered why these anonymous sources have come to her right now with this particular story. They have a program to explode the president’s efforts to make peace, and they considered it a useful container to whiten the Garaari in conversation, the truth.”

“There are two possible explanations: Felicia is simply not very intelligent, and has allowed himself to be used by crooks of the State Deep,” he added. “Or it is on this, and used its position to participate readily in a literal foreign influence operation. Anyway, it’s shameful.”

“To set the record straight: Steve Witkoff is an invaluable member of our team,” continued Vance. “He did not mislead anyone on what the Russians told him and what the Russians have conceded. (Believe me, I saw the Intels.) The fruits of his negotiations are that we have reduced the list of problems open in the Russian-Ukraine war to a set of clearly defined questions-specifically, guarantees of security and territorial convention.”

The White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also reacted to the post of Vance and wrote that she could not have said it better herself.

I could not have said it better myself.

Not only Felicia and her publishers refused to use the many quotes from senior officials provided to them by the White House, but they did not include almost an hour’s context of the subject of history, Mr. Witkoff.

Too much… https://t.co/e9mhonidr3

“Not only Felicia and her publishers refused to use the many quotes from senior officials who are provided to them by the White House, but they did not include an hour of context of the subject of history, Mr. Witkoff,” wrote Leavitt.

“Too many” journalists “are used as sheep by people who push a clear program,” she added. “Unfortunately, we see it every day.”
