Exclusive: Trump never raised Russia's Taliban bounties with Putin

Source: Axios

Trump spoke with Putin on Thursday, and subsequently deflected a question about whether he’d raised the alleged bounty scheme, saying on Monday: “We don't talk about what we discussed, but we had plenty of discussion.”

In Tuesday’s interview, he was definitive:

“I have never discussed it with him.”

Pressed on why he didn’t raise the matter in Thursday’s call, he said: “That was a phone call to discuss other things, and frankly that’s an issue that many people said was fake news.”

Trump has spoken to Putin at least eight times since intelligence about the alleged Russian bounties was reportedly included in the President's Daily Brief — his written intelligence briefing — in late February.

No other way to interpret that.

When we do find out what our traitor in the white house did speak about with his Russian master, it should seal the fate of any conservative, that they too supported a traitor and that therefore, they were traitors too.
