The actions of Witkoff, Rubio and Trump in this matter are an absolute disgrace. This means that the U.S. cannot be seen as an honest broker in any international conflict.
Trump’s controversial plan given to Ukraine as a take-it-or-leave it proposition was the result of weeks of negotiations behind the scenes between Steve Witkoff and his Russian counterpart Kirill Dmitriev that excluded Ukraine, its allies and key US officials.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?
JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious
