NEW: 'Our Armed Forces would be better served if President Trump spent more time reading his daily briefing and less time planning military parades and defending relics of the Confederacy,' Pelosi, Schumer say after briefing on reported Russian bounties.

While the White House claims intelligence about the bounty reports was not fully verified by the U.S., a military official confirmed to ABC News on Sunday that Russian intelligence officers offered to pay Taliban militants to kill American troops in Afghanistan over the past year, amid peace talks to end the 18-year war there.

Last year, 23 U.S. troops were killed in Afghanistan, but whether any were targeted by Taliban fighters paid by Russian operatives isn't known, the military official told ABC News. The official didn't know whether Trump was briefed but said other senior U.S. officials learned of the Russian operation"months ago."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of Calif., speaks at a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, June 26, 2020.Members of the so-called “Gang of Eight” were expected to attend Thursday's briefing.
