WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Sunday denied that he had been briefed on reported U.S. intelligence that a Russian military intelligence unit secretly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing American troops in Afghanistan, and he appeared to minimize the allegations against Moscow.
Trump, in a Sunday morning tweet, said “Nobody briefed or told me” or Vice President Mike Pence or chief of staff Mark Meadows about “the so-called attacks on our troops in Afghanistan by Russians.”The White House had issued a statement Saturday denying that Trump or Pence had been briefed on such intelligence.
Trump’s tweet came a day after presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said that the report, if accurate, was a “truly shocking revelation” about the commander in chief and his failure to protect U.S. troops in Afghanistan and stand up to Russia.
The Times, citing unnamed officials familiar with the intelligence, said the findings were presented to Trump and discussed by his National Security Council in late March. Officials developed potential responses, starting with a diplomatic complaint to Russia, but the White House has yet to authorize any step, the report said.
The only worthy of doubt in this scenario is Trump, as usual
Is it casting or seeking to cast doubt, I can’t tell from your bullshit headlines
More Fake News by MarketWatch.
In Trump's defense he was probably looking at animal porn on his phone during the briefing.
Look closely at the word manipulation-Nobody is saying Russia attacked US troops, intelligence agencies are saying Russia is paying bounty for the killing Our troops
TrumpLies You report his lies without any critical sources.🤬
Time to unfollow this shit.
He watches TV all day. His Daily briefings on the security of the Nation is watching Fox and Friends.
Russia hoax with a twist. 🤣
Can you write an article about Hillary Clinton and the 650,000 emails that she recently tried to appeal in court and was denied, now has to appear in September? Anthony Weiner’s laptop containing images of her, child sex trafficking, torture, and murder? Why so silent on this?
To busy playing golf
Trump did a lot better as an NYC attention whore/TV bimbo than having a real job with responsibilities and a pandemic level viral crisis.
‘All’s fair in love and war’ apparently to him.
He didn’t cast doubt he said it was FAKE NEWS
it definitely doesnt. dumbest tweet of 2020.
He lies.
You may want to read the tweet again. Like a lawyer in court. Examine each sentence and phrase. It doesn't say anything.
hahaha, now there's some desperation.....
Hey MarketWatch frauds...
Shitty headline. Even FOX confirms.
Nope. We know he's a liar.
It really doesn’t though...
No, it means that he doesn’t read his daily briefing materials. Mark Meadows wasn’t even Chief of Staff at the time, which indicates Trump didn’t check any records before tweeting. Do better.
The same bounties that the UK now confirms?
Why would it? Smdh
This is something the general public can never verify, and there is nobody they can trust, so everyone will just believe whatever they want.
If deadbeat donald says it is false, then it is a lie from a cowardly do nothing liar.
No doubt here!
Horribly inaccurate headline for this tweet.
stop it. He’s lying.
No. It doesn’t at all. It confirms that there’s something seriously wrong with him. After over 15,000 lies, you actually pretend like he’s acting in good faith? Multiple sources say he was told, and foreign governments confirming they knew? And still, you’re believing him?
Wel... when the most honest person in the history of politics says so... Are you serious with that headline? Based on that bs propaganda of a headline, I’m unfollowing you.
Nope. It's been confirmed by news outlets & governments in other western countries. Not that we needed them to know he's a liar.
Trump tweet only makes it more true. When Trump says something is false, it usually is founded to be true. This headline is misleading.
If it’s true, which I doubt. People are aware leaking National security information is illegal, correct?
No it doesn't :
Forgot how honest trump was
