Kremlin and Kazakhstan Both Have Kompromat on Trump, Says Ex-KGB Spy Chief

The Kremlin and Kazakhstan are both in possession of kompromat incriminating US President Donald Trump, according to Alnur Mussayev, the former head of Kazakhstan’s security services, who had been a KGB officer in Moscow in the 1980s.

In a Feb. 6 interview on Ukraine’s Espreso TV program “Studia Zakhid,” Mussayev reiterated a claim he has expressed publicly for years – namely, that there is a Kremlin file with compromising video material from Trump’s stay at Moscow’s Ritz-Carlton hotel in 2013. Trump had come to Moscow before his first run for the US presidency to attend the Miss Universe pageant. In the latest interview, however, Mussayev added some significant details regarding Kazakhstan’s also being in possession of that same kompromat (a portmanteau word for “compromising material”).

He repeated the claim that Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) is in possession of film footage, presumably of a sexual nature, from Trump’s stay at the Ritz-Carlton in 2013. He also claims that the National Security Committee (KNB) of Kazakhstan is in possession of those files as well. Mussayev said: “These files were used by former chairman of the National Security Committee Karim Massimov during a meeting with [US] Secretary of State [Rex] Tillerson in the United States.” The meeting took place in October 2017.

When asked how Kazakhstan got hold of the kompromat video footage, Mussayev elaborated: “The event that Trump held in Moscow, the Miss Universe pageant, apparently with the participation of [Aras] Agalarov, a well-known Russian oligarch of Azerbaijani origin, took place both in Crocus City, which belonged to Agalarov, and the Ritz Hotel, which belonged to and is still owned by Bulat Temuratov, a Kazakh oligarch who was close to [Kazakh] President [Nursultan] Nazarbayev. Whatever was filmed at the Ritz Hotel belonged to Kazakhs.” Mussayev added: “Russian special services used camera surveillance in the rooms. In addition to the Russians, it got through to the National Security Committee of Kazakhstan via Bulat Temuratov. Then, in 2017, Mussayev explains, Kazakhstan tried to use the kompromat as leverage on the Trump administration to improve US-Kazakh relations.
