President Trump said he was not told about a reported Russian effort to get the Taliban to kill U.S. soldiers because many U.S. intelligence officials doubted its veracity

“We never heard about it because intelligence never found it to be of that level,” he told Fox Business Network. “The intelligence people... many of them didn’t believe it happened at all.”

One of those sources and a fifth person familiar with the matter said the U.S. intelligence community is confident Russia encouraged the Taliban to kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan but there was internal debate over whether Moscow had actually paid bounties. The New York Times, which broke the story last week, has reported that Trump received a written briefing on the matter in February.

Everyone knows the worst unjustis country is USA.

MSM’s latest crush in “Orange Man Bad” chapter 23.

But now that he knows about it, he doesn’t believe it ;)

He’s not smart enough to use the word veracity though

There’s always an excuse, or someone to blame.

It still amazes me how trump puts his mouth in gear before his brain, and then inserts the other foot with a lie. Only to be made a fool of later when the truth comes out, time after time after time.

Liar in Chief

Hi You are a little behind now in your news reporting....

Matthew 25 10 The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. 11“Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’ 12“But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’

Liar
