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.
In the 60’s someone with ties to KGB would be arrested (and death sentence) for treason, now it can be president and no one does anything
In a way it’s a credit to your democracy, for whatever consolation that brings.
