Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said in an interview that aired Sunday that the White House is "an arm of the Kremlin" following a tense Oval Office meeting with President Trump, Vice President Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Over the last 24 hours, MAGA has been ceaselessly spreading the claim that Democrats - from Susan Rice to Tony Blinken to me - pushed Zelensky to reject the minerals deal. Total lie. Made up out of thin air. Zero sources. 1/ A short lesson how these lies spread in MAGA world.

Trump returns seized classified documents to Mar-a-Lago aboard Air Force One
www.upi.com
... President Donald Trump on Friday took back to Florida boxes of documents that the FBI had seized from Mar-a-Lago after executing a court-ordered search warrant in August 2022.
About 15 boxes were put onto Air Force One and sent to Palm Beach where the president is spending the weekend at his estate.
The classified documents case by special counsel Jack Smith against Trump, in which Trump pleaded not guilty, was dropped in November after he won the 2024 election.
"The Department of Justice has just returned the boxes," Trump posted on Truth Social. "They are being brought down to Florida and will someday be part of the Trump Presidential Library. Justice finally won out. I did absolutely nothing wrong. This was merely an attack on a political opponent that, obviously, did not work well. Justice in our Country will now be restored." ...
Senator Chris Murphy's statements regarding the minerals deal with Ukraine and his interactions with President Zelenskyy have been inconsistent and contradictory.
Initially, Murphy posted on social media that Zelenskyy had confirmed Ukraine would not support a "phony peace" where Putin gets everything and Ukraine has no security guarantees[4]. This statement implied that Murphy and other Democrats had discussed the deal with Zelenskyy and potentially influenced his decision.
However, when faced with accusations that Democrats had pressured Zelenskyy to reject the deal, Murphy vehemently denied these claims, calling them a "total lie" and "made up out of thin air"[1]. He also stated on Face the Nation that Zelenskyy was "ready to sign the agreement"[3].
These conflicting statements have led to confusion and skepticism about Murphy's role in the negotiations. His initial post suggested he had discouraged Zelenskyy from accepting the deal, while his later denials and claims that Zelenskyy was ready to sign contradict his earlier position[3].
The inconsistency in Murphy's statements has fueled speculation about the Democrats' influence on Zelenskyy's decision-making process regarding the minerals deal with the Trump administration[4][6].
