President Donald Trump has since strongly denied that he was told of this intelligence and attacked its credibility, characterizing the existence of Russian bounty payments as fake. Two of the sources are actively involved with the Taliban, and one is now a refugee in Greece who entered the country in 2016. All said they personally had not undertaken Russian bounty operations and disparaged the practice in general.The refugee spoke on condition of anonymity to Insider for fear of retaliation, though his identity is known to Insider. He used to be a commander with the Taliban in the Logar province of Afghanistan.

But he was skeptical that accepting such payments would advance the Taliban's cause in the long term. "These people will not just leave," he said. "They did not spend the money because we are friends. They spent it to kill their American enemies."Moulani Baghdadi, a current Taliban commander from Ghazni province, provided Insider a statement via a family member.

Rep. Sherrill: Trump needs to ‘commit to getting to the bottom’ of Russian bounty intelRegarding US intel that Russians purportedly offered bounties to Taliban fighters to kill Americans, Rep. Sherrill says Pres. Trump needs to 'commit to getting to the bottom of this and if this is credible, that there are repercussions for the Russians.' It's funny how Democrats all believed the dossier, yet it wasn't deemed credible enough to be used in January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment... Hitler realizing his regime is soon over,asked Nazis to sabotage Germany because in his narcissistic mind Germans were weak and didn’t deserve him. Expect these few months left of Trump’s presidency whether loses or drops out to be full of narcissistic rage,sabotage, and blaming. Americans are taught to fight for our RIGHTS. For 'liberty' for 'freedom' (from the government). What about civic DUTIES? Sacrificing for the good of others? No wonder we elected a buffoon. No wonder we're dying from ignorance. No wonder we're the laughingstock of the world.
