A piece from the NY Times accuses Russians of placing bounties on the heads of American soldiers. The White House denies knowing anything about it. Rep. Liz Cheney wants more information proving they didn’t know. Can they prove a negative/
The New York Times reported Fridayย that U.S. intelligence officials concluded earlier this year that a Russian military unit covertly tried to offer rewards to Taliban-linked militants for killing coalition forces in Afghanistan. That allegedly included U.S. troops.
Theย U.S. intelligence apparatus has known for months about the alleged efforts of the Russian military intelligence unit. That’s according to the Times. They cited anonymous officials briefed on the matter. The report also noted that intel officials briefedย Trump during an interagencyย meeting in March. A number of responses were discussed. However, they claimed, the White House has not authorized any, according to the Times.
One must wonder if this is one of John Bolton’s delusions.
The White House and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence pushed back on the Times report in separate statements on Saturday. In a tweet shared Sunday, Trump also fiercely denied receiving an intelligence briefing on Russian bounties.
The President called the NY Times “fake news,” and it often is as we have reported here. He questioned whether the person even exists.
The Fake News @ nytimes must reveal its โanonymousโ source. Bet they canโt do it, this โpersonโ probably does not even exist! https://t.co/pdg4AjybOG

‘FAKE NEWS?’
He has been tough on Russia and noted it, comparing himself to the weakness of Obama and Biden. He could have also mentioned Biden’s complete subservience to China. President Trump said, “It’s probably just another phony Times hit job, just like their failed Russia hoax.” The President would like to know “their source.”
…Nobodyโs been tougher on Russia than the Trump Administration. With Corrupt Joe Biden & Obama, Russia had a field day, taking over important parts of Ukraine – Whereโs Hunter? Probably just another phony Times hit job, just like their failed Russia Hoax. Who is their โsourceโ?

He didn’t let up on Biden:
Funny to see Corrupt Joe Biden reading a statement on Russia, which was obviously written by his handlers. Russia ate his and Obamaโs lunch during their time in office, so badly that Obama wanted them out of the then G-8. U.S. was weak on everything, but especially Russia!

Corrupt Joe Biden has confirmed that he โwould give UNLIMITED Healthcare to Illegal Immigrantsโ. This would break our system and bring millions of people to the USA. @foxandfriends

Trump’s supporters also didn’t let up and made note of Joe using the “n” word in derogatory fashion years ago:
Corrupt Joe is also a racist https://t.co/OpI975FRg5
