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

    1. @Levon McClam Biden might have memory loss, but he’s a million times better than Trump. That’s coming from a Bernie supporter.

    2. Mr. Money Bags Trump is a bargain! With him you get two for the price of one… treason and dementia.

    3. Levon McClam I notice you listen to broadcasts to “strengthen your mind”. Better listen to something else. It’s not working.

  1. “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.

    1. I knew there was a point in there, somewhere. The defense that the WH, trump cultists and others supply is almost as lame as what the White House Barbie spews. They all lack any kind of reputation. Don’t they recognize this yet?

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

  3. When Trump is not president anymore, Trump’s enablers will have to live with their own legacy in the destruction of the country and how they allowed Trump to put Putin above the US national interest because of kompromat Russia had on Trump.

    1. It is not so much Trump ! The democrats have plainly said and have shown with their actions they intend to fk this country up ! So, yes , we will defend this country by any means necessary !!!! Trump 2020 and beyond !

    2. @*Omniscient* * Observator* you think the right is a cult, LMAO where the hel have you been during the last month

    3. I pray the prosecutors in New York indict him mercilessly and relentlessly. Then lock him up!Trump needs to spend some time in solitary confinement ( 60 days minimum ) just like the people at the southern border. Export his kids to mother Russia. Melania will divorce Trump and go on to live a good life.

    4. @Jim J. The GOP are a 🚽🚽🚽 PARTY my friend who hate Democracy ( they say it openly)
      Libertarian Plutocracy etc…
      It’s all the same garbage.
      You have your Parties mixed & muddled my friend.
      We fight for Working American People !
      You fight for Billionaire Plutocrats & Oil Oligarcs.
      Shame on you !

    5. @Jim J. What do they intend to do that is so horrible btw ?
      Fix our Health Insurance System ?
      Regulate the Banking industry to protect consumers small business & victims of College loan scams ?
      Please explain ?

  4. tRump’s defence is incompetence. And some Americans identity with that.

    1. US Troops are standing under British Maritime Laws and Flying a fancy gold fringe British Admiralty Flag! Which is why we are the new Whores 4 War on the Block! And, We The People have been turned into Tax and Debt Slaves for International Murder, Inc. owned by Monarchists! Ignor-ance IS not Bliss!

  5. Trump WH is going after whistle blowers/leakers and not Putin/Russia. Dereliction of duties is an understatement. This is outright treason!

    1. @Brian Hart ..I respect your opinion but we disagree.
      Trump’s done an excellent job for the country (domestically and in foreign policy) and is looking stronger than ever for second term.
      And let’s face it, the alternative is a clearly incapable Biden and a party of lies, hate and treason.
      I find it mind boggling how many Dems and Trump haters don’t realize the extent of Schiff’s lies. Or Pelosi’s hate.
      Trump’s legacy is solid. The whole impeachment hoax is a black mark for the Democrat party.

    2. @hugh jorgan I strongly disagree, on everything. But I’ll give you this much, you didn’t resort to petty name calling and slander.

    3. @Brian Hart ..Also…I encourage you to do some research on what comprises those “8K false claims”.
      Hint…99.99% are either hyperbole, exaggeration, misspeaking, quotes taken out of context or political-speak. Google it.
      For example, Trump saying “It was a perfect phone call” is counted about 100 times in the total.
      And “We have the best economy” (or related claims) is counted hundreds of times.
      It’s ludicrous to call those lies or false claims.
      Moving on…I’m going to challenge you on a critical point: Do you think Trump’s racist?
      If so, please provide examples of why you think that.
      (the tweeting of the vid you mention doesn’t count).

    4. DiamondMasters Snowden is a Hero and the government went after him, so yeah whoever leaked this story is in trouble.

  6. Trump, The most ill-informed illiterate person ever to become president.

    2020 = Trump or America. Chose your loyalty.

    1. lets be honest here, Trump is now a rotting bloated carcass floating on a sewer of Republican corruption, all of their own making! The stench of this corruption is getting worse!!!!

  7. The fake Barbie so called press secretary is a soulless women. She sold her soul to trump and Putin.

    1. She said she would never lie to the press and that is all she has done in every briefing. Why bother with her as she is only going to spew bs.

  8. Never have I believed that the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is actually a traitor.

    1. SwiftBlade4 come on Cheeto can’t admit when he errors. This is a huge problem, it just proves he is a liar. WAKE UP

  9. We can’t be naive Trump is a Russian asset he should be charged for treason under those guidelines the penalty is death for betraying his country and his oath of office….

  10. The press briefing “book” has been shortened to a single page with pictures because Trump doesn’t read. This has been reported on for years now.

  11. “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 ?!…..

    1. He is informed by the best sources on the planet. He’s just too stupid to understand the information they try to spoon feed him. The intelligence community can only do so much, they are working with a moron.

  12. So the real USA president is Putin 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️
    What’s next? Putin/Trump 2020 🤮

    1. More than half a page is to much for him. Maybe sitting next to him & explaining word for word & he would finally get it.

  13. “This president is the most informed person on planet earth”
    He just didn’t listen, nor does he care.

  14. Trump is a Russian asset. Let’s cut to the chase. He is owned by Putin, and will do nothing to oppose him. That includes sacrificing our troops.

  15. Trump says this is “fake news” 😆 he just butthurt Russia ain’t going to help him in 2020.
