Kamala Harris cited Russian bounty story in general election debate with Pence
Fox News
Vice President Harris cited the now-backpedaled report of Russia placing bounties on the heads of U.S. soldiers during a general election debate in October with former Vice President Mike Pence.
"The United States intelligence community assesses with low to moderate confidence that Russian intelligence officers sought to encourage Taliban attacks against U.S. and coalition personnel in Afghanistan in 2019, and perhaps earlier, including through financial incentives and compensation," the official said. "U.S. intelligence community agencies have low to moderate confidence in this judgment in part because it relies on detainee reporting, and due to the challenging operating environment in Afghanistan, our conclusion is based on information and evidence of connections between criminal agents in Afghanistan and elements of the Russian government," the official continued.More Related News
