From @KenDilanianNBC @ckubeNBC and @carolelee Many U.S. officials say intel that Russia paid the Taliban bounties to kill Americans isn't conclusive. Most also agree Russia backs our enemies in Afghanistan.

The White House was aware in early 2019 of intelligence indicating Russia was secretly offering bounties to the Taliban for the deaths of Americans. That’s a full year earlier than has been previously reported.
We have confirmed the @nytimes scoop: A Russian military spy unit offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants to attack coalition forces in Afghanistan. From @nakashimae @missy_ryan me and @shaneharris
Here’s what we learned today: Trump found out Russia paid bounties to Taliban fighters to kill American soldiers in Afghanistan. He seriously considered asking them to stop. He decided to not ask them to stop. Chew on that for a sec.

You brought the Taliban to the United States the week of September 11?
