The White House said officials didn’t brief Trump on intelligence showing Russia paid bounties to Afghan militants to attack American forces because the intelligence community and national security officials hadn’t reached a consensus about its veracity

WASHINGTON—U.S. intelligence officials didn’t brief President Trump or Vice President Mike Pence on intelligence showing Russia paid bounties to Afghan militants to attack American forces because the intelligence community and national security officials hadn’t reached a consensus about its veracity, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Monday.

“There is no consensus within the intelligence community on these allegations and in effect there are dissenting opinions from some in the intelligence community with regards...

Iran said this is true

Please update this story. Thank you.

Fake news

Then next, he didn’t believe it was credible. Wait for what’s coming...

When was NATO briefed? If he wasn't updated by then no amount of garbage reporting and BS excuses will save that decision

Logic says you Whack them then eventually they will some how Whack you! It’s a game of Waccamaw!

As if Trump only acts on verified reports ! Wish he did that before racist retweets

realDonaldTrump doesn't read his morning globalsecurity briefs....... PureIgnorance

One LIE on top of ANOTHER.... It is impossible that Trump did NOT know this.... If he didn’t? This wouldn’t have been leaked....

Interesting, because the DNI has stayed he never heard this intel. Why you guys go ahead and get your lies straight, THEN make your next comment.

He knew! This is undeniably monstrous treason. It's inexcusable any way he spins it, and at the very least even if this additional load of Malarkey was possibly true, he knows now. So what's he going to do now Hide behind calling it a hoax, lie, while defend his buddy?

The NYT report details U.S. intelligence officials reached the conclusion about the secret payments and then briefed the president in March. The White House NSC convened an inter-agency meeting also in March to discuss it & findings were included in the President's Daily Brief!

bullshit

They lie

Dangerous Russia

Trump still hasn’t done anything to Russia even until now. Speaks volumes after sending the West Point graduates out to get shot.

Plead willful ignorance

Yeah he was

Nobody believes this nonsense. Why do you keep repeating it? All lies and all the smart people know. 🙄 Where are all of our GOP friends? What say you? Is this behavior by your president ok in your book? Let us know. We’ll wait. 🤔🤷‍♀️

If that’s the case Pinocchio, he knows now so what’s he gonna do?

Why would you even tweet this garbage?

Then why did we share it with the UK? And why wasn't consensus reached? Hopefully not because of the political hacks Trump has placed throughout the intelligence leadership apparatus who believe Russian interference is a 'hoax.'

Since March there hasn’t been a consensus that American soldiers were targeted with bounties from Russian government? Since March!!

But,but,your baby lipped followers will never accept that,,,

BS

This is important enough that they should have briefed Trump. This administration is a total disaster.

finish the sentence! “... said Kayleigh.”

BS. That's ridiculous

Trump is lying as usual. He WAS briefed.

BS

It's shameful for news media to fabricate lies! 👎

They actually said he wasn’t “personally briefed” but didn’t say it wasn’t in his written PDB ( which he doesn’t bother to read )

Let's go ahead and look at those daily briefings, then, shall we?

, bullshit!!!

Maybe you need a certain IQ to be briefed by intelligence.

One of the benefits of the Internet is being able to watch a White House news conference then see afterward what reporters do with the same information. Having done journalism in Washington, DC, (on both sides of the news), the results of the comparisons are especially telling.

Trump's team lies and big media continues to gobble it up without reservations.

TRUMP IS A LIAR

It could well be that, intent on not repeating the mistakes leading to the Iraq war, that this would not find its way to the President until there was a consensus as to whether or not Russia acted in this way. The leak to the NYT and/or its spin on the story, is another matter.

But he is briefed on Hunter Biden second by swcond🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Thanks, but I'll wait for the truth to come out. It always does, but NEVER from this White House

Oh okay. So since he knows now what...

We thought the word for the 20’s was sustainability but now we realize it is for sure accountability........

Anything from the White House is a lie.

i was leaning more towards Trump not reading the morning security briefings which would of citied the russian conspiracy

Get out and stay out. Vietnam teach us anything?

Ahem. 🗣🗣🗣🗣 bullshit

Remember when Russia was in Afghanistan and the roles were reversed?

They would never lie about that...🤦‍♂️

Everybody’s wrong except Donald. Sure thing.

😳... Follow me and I would follow back immediately! Let’s be friends...

Oh cool that’s that problem settled, thanks White House

Raw intel that was clearly leaked in order to further a political goal. Likely endangering lives in the process.

Quit carrying his water... British, German and French IC confirmed...

Liars😜

LOL.... yes of course..... ;)
