Bolton Says He Briefed Trump on Russia Paying Bounties for Killing US Soldiers: Report
Former National Security Advisor John Bolton has said he briefed President Donald Trump on Russia paying the Taliban to kill American soldiers back in March of 2019.
“The assessment was included in at least one of President Donald Trump’s written daily intelligence briefings at the time, according to the officials,” the Associated Press reported late Monday night. “Then-national security adviser John Bolton also told colleagues he briefed Trump on the intelligence assessment in March 2019.”
The revelation means that the president has known for at least 15 months that Russian President Vladimir Putin is paying terrorists to kill U.S. service members, and Trump has done nothing to stop it or to punish Putin.
