Trump disputed British Intelligence conclusion that Putin gov orchestrated murder of Russian spy

"He then disputed her intelligence community’s conclusion that Putin’s government had orchestrated the attempted murder and poisoning of a former Russian spy on British soil."


"In a summer 2018 call with PM Theresa May, Trump harangued the British leader about her country's contribution to NATO. He then disputed her intel community's conclusion that Putin's gov't had orchestrated the attempted murder & poisoning of a fmr. Russian spy on British soil."

"In one of his first calls with a head of state, President Trump fawned over Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin, telling the man who ordered interference in America's 2016 election that he was a great leader and apologizing profusely for not calling him sooner."
