It began with the then KGB head, dissatisfied with his agents recruiting in foreign countries of FUTURE possible assets.
He Kicked ass and started aggressively recruiting.
How do we know? British intel had assets in the KGB who told gave MI6 the documents.
Those agents later fled to the UK - and WROTE a book about it.
In the U.S. one of the targets was a loud-mouthed rich narcissist who had married the daughter OF A COMMUNIST official in Czechoslovakia!
The Czech Stasi had a file on him - and on her!
When Trump got political - the KGB was on him!
We also know that the new Soviet ambassador to the UN, on arrival in NY - his first stop was an unannounced visit to Trump Tower! Where he lavished praise on the Great Narcissist!
(The KGB for agents doing the recruiting described one of the methods agents were to use to bring in the useful idiots; one of the best - Flattery! Think that would work on Trump?)
How do we know that?
The ambassador’s daughter was with him and WROTE about it!
In 1987 the Soviet agent in NY invited Trump to Moscow.
How do we know that? Trump put it in his ghost-written book filled with admiration for himself. And named names.
Trump and Ivana arrive in Moscow on the 4th of July 1987 and put into the thoroughly-bugged Lenin Suite in the KGB-run National Hotel.
BEFORE that year ended, mere months after Trump’s return to NY - Trump wrote an opinion piece on why the U.S. should abandon - NATO.
In another book (1991) about Trump by one of his casino managers, the manager said Trump didn’t know what NATO was. It was never a topic of casual conversation
That’s the short version.
