Summary

Former Kazakh intelligence chief Alnur Mussayev alleges that the KGB recruited Donald Trump in 1987 under the codename “Krasnov.”

In a Facebook post, Mussayev claimed that the KGB targeted Western businessmen and that Trump’s file is now privately controlled by a Putin associate.

Though unverified, the claims fuel speculation about Trump’s ties to Russia, which he has denied.

Concerns about Trump’s relationship with Vladimir Putin persist, with former officials like Anthony Scaramucci suggesting an unexplained “hold” on him but offering no further details.

    Smells like bait.

    I suppose it would help the Russians to get the left to buy into some disinformation. Then you can later call it out and use that example to discredit Russia’s election influence.

    If they rigged the election, they rigged it everywhere, in nearly every county throughout the United States. I don’t think they’re capable of that.
