The White House claims President Trump was never briefed on intelligence that Russia had put a bounty on U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan because there wasn’t corroborating evidence.

Eight Republican lawmakers attended a White House briefing Monday about explosive allegations that Russia secretly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing American troops in Afghanistan — intelligence the president himself was said to have not been fully read in on.

Absolutely not. If that were the case, the briefing would be both brief — since intelligence deals more often with uncertainty than fact — but also boring, restricted to observations that are obvious and likely already known to the president, Priess said. One month before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, President George W. Bush was famously warned in a President’s Daily Brief that Osama bin Laden was determined to strike the United States. The intelligence, including chatter picked up by counter-terrorism analysts, was seen as urgent and credible enough to bring to the president’s attention though it lacked details about date, location and method.

This really sucks.

DEFEAT EVIL tRUMP. VOTE OUT CORRUPT REPUBLI CONS, VOTE PROGRESSIVES FOR A BETTER DEAL. CON REPUBLICONS KNEW ABOUT trumps CORONA VIRUS YEARS AGO, BUT CUT THE C.D.C. AND WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZ. & VACCINES. DEFEAT THE CONS BECAUSE OUR LIVES DEPEND ON GOOD GOVERNMENT. VOTE PROGRESSIVES

I see a picture of Trump, a caption that begins “No intelligence...” and think, “Stop, you’re done. That’s your story.”

But, but, RUSSIA!

in time of Soviet operation in Afghanistan, Pakistan's intelligence controlled by CIA really paid money for every killed Soviet Soldier, they paid for every buckle with star. this is a base of this new hoax, shameful story including American media praising Bin Laden and so on.

💰💰💰 Putin paid the Taliban to kill American soldiers. Trump invited them to Camp David. 'Donald Trump can take all his empty words about respecting our service and shove them.' TRE45ON TraitorTrump

Ukraine, Russia, injections of disinfectant, there is a vaccine for AIDS, a fence all around the WH, the virus will disappear, the corrupt lunatic has said some crazy shit, mentally ill.

You guys are 'Sheep' and do nothing but follow POTUS around hoping to impress the Democrats. FHO

Trump says he was, he wasn't, Bolton say he and he didn't, Director of National Security yes and no...which fuck one is it!

Nobody cares about that, there's more important things going on then something he ALREADY stated he knows nothing about.

'New low': Army veteran hits Trump over Russian plot against TroopsThe Trump White House is under fire for its response to Russia paying bounties to kill U.S. troops. Veteran Paul Rieckhoff tells MSNBC’S Ari Melber Trump must be “dragged in front of the American people” to face accountability. So far, I see only no proof, and a grapevine fire. The hashtag TrumpKnewAndDidNothing is not correct. The big issue is that he knew, but kept sucking up to Putin. TRE45ON .. preferably perp-walked or frog-marched by the U.S. Marshal Service into Congress . . . AND FFS he is the *presumed* C-n-C and he doesn't know what is happening with 'his troops?' ..it's Common Knowledge™ that he's gonna get someone to 'fall on his sword' for this treason
