WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump denied on Sunday he had been briefed on intelligence that reportedly showed Russia had offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing US soldiers in Afghanistan.

Trump Denies Briefing On Russian Bounties Reportedly Placed on ...

In a pair of early morning tweets, Trump angrily slammed the report by The New York Times as “Probably just another phony Times hit job, just like their failed Russia Hoax.”

“Everybody is denying it & there have not been many attacks on us....” “Nobody’s been tougher on Russia than the Trump Administration.”
