Pelosi said that Russia "recoups the United States" in Afghanistan

Pelosi, in an interview with ABC, noted that regarding Trump, "all roads lead to Putin."

“Russia has not overcome the humiliation it experienced in Afghanistan. Now they recoup on us, our troops. This is absolutely outrageous. The minute the president heard about it, he should have wanted to know more, instead of denying that he knew something, ”she said.

Pressed by @GStephanopoulos on her comments and whether she believes the Russians “have” something on President Trump, Speaker Nancy Pelosi refuses to deny it: “How else would you explain his refusal to even - to ignore again and again the intelligence.” https://t.co/zT7VHK12vzpic.twitter.com/5ljdlnfG6U

So Pelosi commented on reports citing an anonymous source in The New York Times that Russian military intelligence allegedly offered rewards to Taliban-related militants for attacks on American soldiers in Afghanistan.

President Trump, in turn, called the material custom-made and noted that no one had reported to him or Vice President Mike Pence about what the material said.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said that the publication is a "simple stuffing," which clearly illustrates the "low intellectual ability of propagandists from American intelligence."

In addition, a Taliban representative * stated that the movement “strongly rejects” the newspaper’s allegation.

* “Taliban” - the organization was recognized as terrorist by the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of February 14, 2003.
