Trump's press secretary admitted there is no response to RussiaBountyGate because Trump hasn't been properly briefed, even as of today. Or possibly, she lied.

The New York Times, Washington Post, Fox News and now the Associated Press have all confirmed reports from US intelligence sources that Russia offered bounties on US troops to the Taliban in Afghanistan during peace talks between the countries and Trump was briefed on this important issue.'

"Does the President have a specific message for Moscow given these reports?" a reporter asked.

Kayleigh replied as though she didn't understand the question., "A specific message for Moscow?"

That's what he asked.

"No, because he has not been briefed on the matter,' she said. "As I've noted there is no consensus in the intelligence community and in fact there are dissenting opinions."

He still should have been briefed over the weekend to discuss this and look at all the intelligence reports to see if this is true and is still happening.

As usual Trump is an incompetent imbecile, driving national security straight into the Kremlin.
