AP: WH Aware Of Russian Bounties On U.S. Soldiers Back In Early 2019 | The Last Word | MSNBC

New reports from the Associated Press and the New York Times raise questions about what Pres. Trump knew and when he knew it. Yamiche Alcindor, White House correspondent for PBS NewsHour, says the report shows “President Trump knew what was going on” even though the White House denied the claims, and Ron Klain, former senior adviser to President Obama, says the new timeline raises more questions about why the Trump administration isn’t dealing with Russia in a “more rigorous way.” Aired on 6/29/2020.

    1. Crimes against humanity ( children in cages) negligent homicide Covid 19 victims and now possible treason. The USA is permanently damaged.

    1. @Delekham : I wasn’t directing my ire on Susan. I was pointing out the stupidity and audacity of Trump supporters.

  1. Donnie Din Don Trump said Obama committed treason……. I guess was looking himself in the mirror

    1. @Mike Keller yes….because it’s a major narcissistic trait. Putin has been using narcissistic traits on Smerica as a warfare strategy thus the need for a Trump as a weapon

    1. Speaking of the tangerine tub of treasonous lard, what is the difference between a bean and a chickpea?

      The difference between a bean and a chickpea is of course that Vladimir Vladimirovitch Putin doesn’t own a video of Donald John Trump watching a bean.

    2. @Kirby Little Shut up!!! Talking all that none-sense. There are awful people in all races and great people in all races. Just shut up..And I don’t go back and forth with tangerine maga minions. Just shut up!!!!!

    3. MSNBC: “if it is true” and “reporting seems to say” and “if tonight’s reporting is accurate” and “the story raises a lot of questions”, so BASICALLY MSNBC is reporting NO NEWS, they are spreading RUMORS about the President’s Administration!! This is FAKE NEWS people. If you think this is a REAL story, you are a SUCKER!!

    2. @J It’s not just Trump, the fact that he was elected is indicative of a much wider problem. I get not wanting to trigger defensiveness, but at the same time, they have a reason to be defensive.

  2. Of all the lies this man has told, he KNEW American soldiers were being targeted and he did NOTHING! What more do his supporters need to know?

    1. @David Lafleche when he has ignored your own intelligence agencies in the past to take the word of a foreign dictator, yeah, I can believe it.

    2. @Gemma Weeraboonchai Oh you can rest assured, Trump has no trouble sleeping at night about this! If anything causes Trump to lose sleep then it’s not winning in 2020 or upsetting Putin!😳

    3. @Kwokfan Fan He was briefed by John Bolton in 2019
      but it’s all fake because Putin denied it VERY STRONGLY to him.

    4. @Kwokfan Fan Bolton has already stated that tRump does not read the daily briefings, I’m sure he was told about Russia. But, he was told about The COVID-19 Virus and did nothing for about a month. I wonder what Russia has over his head, or will he not say anything because he’s scared Putin won’t help him with his re-election?

    5. @Leo sorry but John Bolton says he never was briefed nice try though here’s an even better way to look at it when we’re at war with the Taliban you know war between two countries the Taliban and the United States. The Russians don’t have to pay the Taliban to do something that they are doing currently for free. That’s the part where I said we’re at war with the Taliban I’m just trying to get through your skull that we’re at war with the Taliban.

    1. ME yes, but if a so called neutral party is doing it it’s different. In a conflict this is unfortunately common but a neutral third party shouldn’t do it.

  3. I just wish Trump would protect our troops the same way he protects Putin, statues of pro-slavery traitors, and his taxes.

    1. @passtime for civilwar “your running on blind hate” lol you’ve been writing hate driven comments for the past few hours, are you that unaware. I’ve just merely stated that you’re unable to describe President Trump as an honest man. You seem to a have a lot of pent up anger buddy.

    2. @passtime for civilwar well it’s been verified and gee CIA and others apparently have trump options on what to do and her choose to do nothing. For almost a year.

    3. @theartisthasarrived Your Sal Alinsky tactics won’t work because I’m in no way hate filled. Actually I’m sitting on my yacht just schooling you liberals. You haven’t disputed my comments except for this weak attempt 😂

    4. @Michael Shigetani Well where ever you got your misinformation, it’s wrong. The Intel community just said, “the story is unverified”. Besides even the optics of the story aren’t credible. Russia doesn’t have the cash to pay anyone with the oil market dead. Once and again since your illiterate, no verification of this story exist.

    5. MSNBC: “if it is true” and “reporting seems to say” and “if tonight’s reporting is accurate” and “the story raises a lot of questions”, so BASICALLY MSNBC is reporting NO NEWS, they are spreading RUMORS about the President’s Administration!! This is FAKE NEWS people. If you think this is a REAL story, you are a SUCKER!!

  4. Anyone remember when Trump retweeted a Trump supporter shouting “White Power”?

    The sheit show never ends & yesterdays news is old news in Trump’s dystopian U.S.A.
    Please VOTE!

    1. @John DiGiacomo Probably not, I try really hard to keep up with all his incompetence, racism and just general embarrassing behavior, but it is too much. I can’t remember what he did yesterday, let alone a week ago.

    2. I Saw it. Trump Said they had a lot of enthusiasm, until someone pointed out the racism. Then he removed it. It’s no mystery, Bunker Boy hates brown people.

  5. He DOES NOT CARE about the military, his supporters or anyone else, unless they are a dictator or one of his family members. He cares about and gets along with THOSE TYPES.

    1. @SeaChange Mix I would say Ignorance is the right word. My fellow Aussies are intelligent for the most part but often choose to listen to right-wing nut jobs.

    2. Why are the republicans giving him till Nov. to cause more harm to the country. They all need to go.

    3. at least 6000 or so in tulsa, a church-full in arizona, and a bunch who will soon cheer for the traitor in florida

  6. Trump didn’t believe the briefings about the bounty because Putin told him it was OK. Trump cares nothing for US soldiers or US citizens, he only cares to enrich himself and his family. Trump sold the US to Putin for personal gain.

    1. That’s a fact. Trump doesn’t do anything unless it financially benefits him. He said that in a interview back in the 80s.

    2. @Merrilou Neigenfind What’s the difference between a garbanzo bean and a chickpea? Trump has never had a garbanzo bean on his face.

    1. It was very clear he would be so….so why oh why did Americans think it could work. That remains the question. The problem is not Donald Trump.

  7. Trump clearly cares about NO ONE other than himself and his riches. This is absolutely astonishing. A vote for Trump is a vote for Putin.

    1. MSNBC: “if it is true” and “reporting seems to say” and “if tonight’s reporting is accurate” and “the story raises a lot of questions”, so BASICALLY MSNBC is reporting NO NEWS, they are spreading RUMORS about the President’s Administration!! This is FAKE NEWS people. If you think this is a REAL story, you are a SUCKER!!

    2. @MJB For Trump your stupidity REEKS. You not calling it “news” is outright foolish. You make NO SENSE. You have selective hearing. There is no convincing you idiots brainless people. Stay stupid.

    3. @Lorenzo Carrillo Really!!?? You are calling me brainless?? Tell me, where are the facts in this “news” report?? I make no sense!!?? There is no definitive statement of fact in this report, it is ALL supposition, so that LATER when it is THOROUGHLY debunked, MSNBC does not have to RETRACT their PROPAGANDA.

    1. Mike Keller there’s no good reason at all!!! The reason is he owes Putin and the Russian mob hundreds of millions of dollars and can’t pay them back 🤬🤬🤬

  8. So much for ” NOT BEING TOLD” lie This is showing that PUTIN has something on TRUMP and why he won’t do anything !!!.

    1. Putin interfered in the American President election. He helped Trump get elected, that’s why Trump ain’t doing anything about the bounties.

    1. how do you collect the bounty and remain free? I don’t know how you’d be able to live anywhere except Iran after that.

    2. I hope they collect it.. The fat orange slob is going to be looking over his shoulder for what’s left of his worthless life..

    1. Get out the vote against him. Get everyone you know involved. It can only change if we vote.

    2. Je actually told the truth many times, like a few days ago he said he told his gouvernement tu stop testing for Covid-19 because the more we test the higher numbers are and that doesn’t work in his favor. Unfortunately his sheeps don’t see a problem with that. Of course sheeps don’t see what’s happening ahead of them, they just follow. No critical thinking, no thinking at all. Plain stupido.

    3. We need to stand up for donald’s removal. We can’t wait for this corrupt senate to do the right thing. November is much to far to allow this betrayal to continue
