71. In Trumps denial
Sun Jun 28, 2020, 11:22 PM
Jun 2020

He said he was not briefed on russians killing US troops. Russians did not kill our troops the Taliban did, the russians just paid them. So Trump can say he did not lie. He never said he was not told about the Taliban getting money for killing our troops. Which I am sure he was told and did nothing.
