Although an official briefed on the intelligence told NBC News it shows American service members died as a result of the bounties, McKenzie told reporters he had not seen evidence of that. He said the military was aware of the intelligence, but didn't specify when it became aware.
Before the president’s meeting with Putin in June 2019, the military provided the White House with information about Russia’s activities in Afghanistan, including that Russia was continuing to provide weapons and resourcing to the Taliban as they have been for several years, according to three defense officials. The officials could not say whether that information got to Trump.
"The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools," Trump tweeted.The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help.
Trump has made no secret of his desire to improve relations with Russia, despite the seizure of Crimea, the 2016 election interference campaign and the poisoning of a former Russian intelligence officer on British soil. Gen. John Nicholson arrives on Capitol Hill to testify before the Senate Armed Services Senate Committee on Feb. 9, 2017.London, who retired in 2018, confirmed the outreach, saying Trump pressured the CIA to make it happen, even as Nicholson was warning about Russian bad behavior in Afghanistan.
Duh! The will do it for free.
Which officials. Ratcliff who is a Trump puppy. Conclusive would mean getting info from a Russian source. Needless to say Russia has been doing this for a while in Afghanistan and other areas. They are not allies.
So as much as the officials HE put in have lied on his behalf or have been complicit with what he has done in same way, we are to all of a sudden believe those pieces of shiit? Yea ok
That's bull tho. The British already came out and said they did it to our troops as well. So someone's lying
Be specific.
This article has timelines, who received emails & briefings on it & when.
Trump officials?
Award winner for lies
NBC is always pushing hate and propaganda,
Probably another lie from the Dem side
That because impeached president a Russian puppet and a lover? (Wife)? VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
Anyone have in confidence in Esper and Milley after the “walk of shame” with trumps church photo op? Not me.
Are they under pressure over fear of reprisals from the White House and the bounty Trump has placed on their heads?
Will the nytimes and their toadies like SenSchumer and msm FakeNewsMedia take back what they said about realDonaldTrump or just move on to the next hoax?
Lol so many people in the comments pisses of about this.
Putin is not your friend despite his hold on trump. trump is not America's friend either.
Liars.
because that's the way Trump likes it uh-huh, uh-huh. More & more Trump is clamping down on dissenting voices. Fauci has been put on lock down, the CDC changed school opening guidelines all very dangerous to families. This needs to end! realDonaldTrump JoeBiden
Less than conclusive---but highly likely.
So, the taliban has done some horrible things, but they haven’t lied about doing them. They admitted accepting the bounties.
Interesting change of opinion only after it became news.
Yet anothet fake news story debunked. Never gets old
Trump U.S. officials I presume?
JohnCha75700451 FAKER NEWS LIARS
Also considered as a headline: 'Trump administration takes a few weeks to get stories straight. Admits NY Times finds more Intel than they do.'
Kinda like you not reporting this
Ask AdamSchiff he knew about these supposed bounties back in February but said nothing. Maybe Adam is in league with Putin.
💥Pedophile Epstein brought to justice in 2019 💥 💥Maxwell in 7/2/2020 💥 If Hillary would have won Epstein n Maxwell would still be free sex trafficking minors! 🔥Thats a Human concern — 🔥this was National n International 🔥 This began in the 90’s now we understand better!
And Democrats jumped all over this
Probably wasn't even investigated.
So this 'growing number of intel sources' are Trump sponsored? Of course they are.
Credit to you, NBC, for reporting the truth. Tge other news channels, rather than correct their incorrect reporting, will just let it fade away rather than be honest
Actually it's just another Russian hoax being pimped out as fact by the Marxist water heads in the media.
It had a genesis based on sonething, right? Intelligence needs to investigate.
Nice try...
Sure. Okay. I’m sure it’s not at all because they were pressured by Trump who is deferring to his boss Putin.

In other words unless Putin said it right out of his mouth, they are not going to believe anything about it to check any further! Same thing about the 2016 election interference, Trump went against US intelligence agency and believe Putin because he said so! 🤦🏾♂️ JoeBiden2020

In Obama's 8 years, Russia paid a reward to ISIS in Libya for killing US Ambassador to Benghazi, Libya
US officials, are CORRUPT. What do you expect them to say. They say what putin want them to say.
Exactly WHO are the'US officials'saying this? 'Less than conclusive', doesn't cut it. The president &his administration dropped the ball on this, putting our soldiers lives at risk. He should try doing his job instead of tweeting, holding rallies& playing golf!Sick of his excuses
It's all depending on who the adversaries are. We went to war based on bogus intelligence. In this case, we back away from the bogus intelligence because we don't want to mess with Russia.
robertcobrien has proven to be a liar over and over again. So title of article should be “Growing number of US Liars”. Get it straight.
You can always tell a Ken Dilanian story...bury that lede Ken!
Likely traitor gop hacks
I think Trump said that from the beginning
Of course, they don’t want to go on record saying Dinkey Duckin Donald is Putin’s stooge.
Stealing more money from us! Shame on him again
BS!
Then why do they want to find the leaker?
Really.. do the Democrats like Schumer and Palosi gang agree
Oh shit, it was fake news? Like every anti trump story has been for the last 5 fucking years? Color me shocked.
Right
Less than conclusive, yet front page on all the fake news outlets. Much like the impeachment hoax. I wonder how many other things are hoaxes? Stay tuned.
The intelligence was 50% confidence level, & President Obama used it to make a decision to take out Osama BenLadin. Competent Presidents know how to use intelligence. Trump is incompetent & derelict of duty. TRUMP, READ YOUR DAMN DAILY BRIEF !
very little intel is conclusive.. was it credible..was it more likely then not..
Listen we the ones that have serve know that you realDonaldTrump are a liar and a traitor, helpedby the least American People that has ever served in government. ABC CBSNews CNN MSNBC
Butt kissers and cowards. StandUpForAmerica
Conclusive or not, he was briefed, he knew what was going on. He ignored it though because it's what his boss Putin wanted to do. trump has been selling out America since before he took office. VOTE THE TRAITOR OUT!!!
No traction, give up
Yes but you biased asses jumped on it and reported it as gospel
Russia hoax 2.0
trump's pussy riot.
Intel is often not conclusive. The issue is what was known and when and what was done with the knowledge. Putin who attacked US and other democratic elections and armed the Taliban shouldn’t have been encouraged. Trump failed us again. Always Russia.
Which U.S. officials? That’s equal to saying, “unnamed sources”.
Trump still didn't know WTF was going on because he's a moron who doesn't read or pay attention. He's not interested in national security, only in grifting our tax $$$, getting re-elected, & having his ass kissed on a daily basis because he's so GD needy. Trump makes us a joke.
So..... propaganda.
sure... okay
So sad how the media and liberals wanted it to be true.
VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
Believe this bunch of ImpeachedTrump TOADIES...that’s a laugh 😂
Let's guess which team they're on... and if they're afraid of being fired 'or tweeted about' by YKW.
Did Trump get to them?
End foxratingsbounty clairecmc
Sure, more arm twisting taking place behind the scenes.
Trump told you that from the beginning, but you didn’t listen. Instead you went for the hoax. Again
The fact he hasn't addressed this issue with the American people speaks volumes.
The intel that led to the killing of Osama Bin Laden wasn't 'conclusive' either.
So Russia did offer bounties to kill American soldiers..they just aren’t sure if they paid them. Still no reason for Trump to not denounce the bounties on American soldiers. He is pathetic.
And if there wasn't so much disinformation coming out of this abomination I might be able to believe that.
The fake news already sold their vermin to the thousands of gullible Americans.
The sheep around Trump are disgusting.
Wasn't conclusive but shared it with U.S allies anyway it that standard practice 🤔
Now that they have been leant on by those covering for Trump!
It doesn't have to be conclusive. It just has to be out there to be considered. Trump never considered it.
here's an easy way to avoid this possibility in the future.. bring our troops home..
