White House Under Fire As Yet Another Russia Scandal Develops - Day That Was | MSNBC

What did President Trump know, and when did he know it? The question that reared its head during the impeachment investigation into holdups of military aid in Ukraine is back, this time in reference to intelligence reports that Russia was paying bounties to the Taliban to kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan. It now appears that Trump received written intelligence about this in early 2019 - but did not act on it. The White House claims that Trump knew nothing about it until stories about the alleged Russian plot made the news. Aired on 6/30/2020.

White House Under Fire As Yet Another Russia Scandal Develops - Day That Was | MSNBC

[petepete]

oh my goodness. Did Kayleigh just say that Trump is the most informed person on this planet and this subject?

[_Negra_Arroyo_Lane]

Whatever. He's been told NOW, and he still won't say or do anything about it.

[c.williams]

Oh my God no😢 These solider had a bounty on their heads. My condolences to the solider and their families.

[adscri]

4 years of this and still he’s in power? Something very wrong with the US constitution.

[Mrche]

Trump supporters: “How is it Trumps fault? He doesn’t always read the daily briefings. This is the New York Times fault for doing their job. That’s who you should blame!!”

[waynea]

"Nobody told me" is the lamest excuse ever. He's not even a good liar, which is amazing since that's all he does.

[razor]

He doesn’t read. He doesn’t listen. Yet, he wants to be taken seriously as a leader.

[maximeprometheas]

"The president does read." LOL! I don't know about you, but I personally found it hilarious that Trump's reading ability had to be defended.

[kirstenanderberg]

So the president has been briefed now so...what is he going to do about it TODAY???!

[markburch]

"Most informed person on planet earth regarding the threats America faces".

Well, considering the fact that the worst threat America faces IS Donald Trump, she might have a point.

[marcelnight]

Can you imagine the Republican outrage if Obama was president.

[jsmcguireIII]

Please choose:
(1) he reads - he's a traitor
(2) he doesn't read - he is incompetent

[zollen]

"Dereliction of Duty" is pretty much Trump's life story. It is US president duty to know something serious like this. It is his job to know.

[CloudSurfer]

"He also consumes intelligence verbally" = he doesn't read!
" This president is the most informed person on earth " = unf'ing believeable... How does she get away it with such utter BS

[timothyhawkins]

Trump ignores everything that deals with our national security. And we need to figure the answer to the question...WHY?

[danielg.]

How can people be so gullible, of course trump knew. Give me a break..

[bibia]

donald will try to blame Obama...., you know he is that sad.

[grazianalu]

You elected a “president “ who cannot comprehend matters”

[Nomad]

"This is the most informed person on planet Earth" Kay Lie please, he doesn't know where Finland is.

[maryelizabeth]

When ever this woman opens her mouth I silently repeat the phrase ‘stupid is as stupid does’.
