President Donald Trump on Saturday dismissed a New York Times story that said Russia secretly offered bounties to reward Taliban-linked forces for killing United States and coalition troops in Afghanistan.
The story, published Friday, cites “officials briefed on the matter” as the sources for the report.
In a series of tweets, Trump said, “Nobody briefed or told me, [Vice President Mike Pence] or [Chief of Staff Mark Meadows] about the so-called attacks on our troops in Afghanistan by Russians, reported through an ‘anonymous source’ by the Fake News @nytimes.
