AP sources: White House aware of Russian bounties in 2019

The assessment was included in at least one of U.S. President Donald Trump’s written daily intelligence briefings at the time, according to the officials. Then-national security adviser John Bolton also told colleagues he briefed Trump on the intelligence assessment in March 2019.

Officials said they did not consider the intelligence assessments in 2019 to be particularly urgent, given that Russian meddling in Afghanistan is not a new occurrence. The officials with knowledge of Bolton’s apparent briefing for Trump said it contained no “actionable intelligence,” meaning the intelligence community did not have enough information to form a strategic plan or response. However, the classified assessment of Russian bounties was the sole purpose of the meeting.

Concerns about Russian bounties flared anew this year after members of the elite Naval Special Warfare Development Group, known to the public as SEAL Team Six, raided a Taliban outpost and recovered roughly $500 thousand in U.S. dollars. The funds bolstered the suspicions of the American intelligence community that the Russians had offered money to Taliban militants and other linked associations.

The officials would not name the specific groups or give specific locations in Afghanistan or time frames for when they were detained. Abdul Raqib Kohistani, the Bagram district police chief, said at the time that at least five Afghan civilians were wounded after the attack on the convoy, according to previous reporting by the AP. It is not known if the civilians were injured by the car bomb or the gunfire from U.S. Marines.

Trump tweets video with 'white power' chant, then deletes itPresident Donald Trump on Sunday tweeted approvingly of a video showing one of his supporters chanting 'white power,' a racist slogan associated with white supremacists. He later deleted the tweet and the White House said the president had not heard 'the one statement' on the video. Thanks for this I don't think he needs more fuel on the fire Trump gets caught allowing Putin to place bounties on the lives of American soldiers. So to distract everyone from that he tweets out “white power”. It’s a bold strategy, let’s see if it pays off for him.

Trump Shares Video That Includes Supporter Shouting 'White Power' At ProtestersIn his since-deleted tweet, the president thanked the 'great people' of The Villages, a retirement community in Florida. That's not an excuse. You are responsible for what you retweet. Not surprising. He also doesn't hear his national security briefings. Canada's PM has been accused of assault, is under many ethics investigations, wore black face on at least 3 occasions and yet the liberal hack media are obsessed with American nonsense.
