Joe Biden on reported Russian bounties: 'The idea that somehow [Pres. Trump] didn't know or isn't being briefed—that is a dereliction of duty...and if he was briefed and nothing was done about this, that's a dereliction of duty.'

President Donald Trump has yet to be briefed on the potentially politically damaging matter.The White House on Monday continued to deflect questions about reports U.S. intelligence determined Russia offered bounties to the Taliban to kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan, saying “the veracity” of such allegations is still being determined and insisting that President Donald Trump had yet to be briefed on the potentially politically damaging matter.

Yet Sunday night, Trump tweeted:"Intel just reported to me that they did not find this info credible, and therefore did not report it to me or @VP . Possibly another fabricated Russia Hoax, maybe by the Fake News @nytimesbooks, wanting to make Republicans look bad!!!" Asked what Trump would do to hold Russia accountable if the intelligence is borne out to be true, she said,"I won't speculate on whether this intelligence is verified or not verified and I won't get ahead of the president on further actions."

KSNWABC47 See for yourself Biden is a racist.

The democrat trying to make this bull shit story stick as if it was true they all liars.

You'd THINK a REPORTER WOULD ASK WHAT ORDERS the DOCTOR GAVE HIM and WHY HE CAN'T HOLD RALLIES WHAT's WRONG WITH JOE ?

45 doesn't know what dereliction means.

Msm had this man a hero,a scholar,he was bombing American,he had been killing Americans for years. Guess what they kill US soldiers regardless of payment. Its fake to trigger dem supporters. How the hell do you not see it. Trumps has an 80 mil bounty we're told by some.

You assume the story is true. And if it is name the source. Shouldn’t be hard to do, right?

Investigation about Russia bounties not complete. So far no evidence that story is true. Please explain to Mr. Biden that dereliction of duty would be to include unproven rumors in intelligence briefings & for Trump to take action against nuclear power w/o evidence of wrongdoing

Joe Biden said enough questions! He's gotta get back to the nursing home

Ask Joe Biden about his ties to the Chinese Government. How did Hunter Biden get paid millions of dollars from China, while flying with you? Why did you withhold money from Ukraine until they fired the prosecutor looking into shady deals with your son?

EndTheNigthmare TrumpKnewAndDidNothing

He needs urgent media boot camp . Take a breath , stop miss speaking , stop tangents . A million times better person than trump but media optics matter .

He’s full of it!!!

Dereliction is better than Treason.

Trump's oblivious to everything going on it's never his fault. he always attacks ppl and plays victim he has no accountability.

His admin sent billions to Iran despite them blowing up Americans in Iraq.

Trump on defensive over reports Russia paid bounties for killing U.S. troopsMultiple outlets have said the president received briefings about Taliban-aligned militants killing U.S. troops, but Trump has denied it. He wasn't at the briefing they gave him he has proof he wasn't there. Mike Pompeo backs his story up This piece of shit doesn't care about the men and women serving in the U.S. military. His only concern are the loans he owes to the Russians and the Chinese. Payment on those loans are coming due very soon. With interest. Any fake news and russian hoax to keep your terrorist military in other foreign countries.
