"WASHINGTON —
American intelligence officials have concluded that a Russian military intelligence unit secretly offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants for killing coalition forces in Afghanistan — including targeting American troops — amid the peace talks to end the long-running war there, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The intelligence finding was briefed to President Trump, and the White House’s National Security Council discussed the problem at an interagency meeting in late March, the officials said. Officials developed a menu of potential options …
but the White House has yet to authorize any step, the officials said."
And Trump still wants to invite Putin back into the G7(G8).

Let me predict the reflexive response on the part of Trump supporters: 1) fake news/MSM; 2) more Russia obsession and 3) (my favorite) it's Deep State intel and we can't trust it (odd, you trusted the Deep State FBI when they debunked the noose story...hypocrisy?).
If the story is completely fabricated, the rest of the media, including the British media (see article on this point) will tear it apart.
Imagine if Obama received such information and did nothing?!
