Senior House Democrats left a White House briefing on Russian bounties disappointed today, saying they were given “no substantive information” about allegations that the Kremlin paid Taliban militants to kill U.S. troops
Senior House Democrats left a White House briefing on Russian bounties disappointed on Tuesday, saying they were given “no substantive information” about allegations that the Kremlin paid Taliban militants to kill U.S. troops — and that President Donald Trump sat on the information for months.
Democrats say they were left with the impression that Trump was not briefed on the intelligence, though they declined to provide details. They continued to express skepticism about his claims of ignorance, and said even if the intelligence was not absolutely conclusive, Trump should have been briefed on it as he weighed diplomatic relations with Russia.
Trump has denied knowing about the intelligence despite it being included in a written briefing for the president in February, according to the Times.
